q Bulletin " last evening. that he never
made overtures to the Government
party for recognition or a place on the
Government ticket prior TO the election,
We have simply to say that the denial is
in keeping with his original attack. Our
words were: The methods adopted on
his behalf, to secure recognition or a
place on the Government ticket, would
qualify him or his alter ego to carry off
the honors in a field of competitive
toadyism." This is absolutely and I'M
equivocally true; but did We say that
&C. w. A" personally submitted the
proposals which were made on his be-
half for recognition or place on the
Government ticket" We knew better.
We know precisely who made the pro-
posals, what the proposals were, the pro-
fundity of the funkeyism involved; and
if provoked too far we are prepared to
not only state what these proposals were,
but also to turn side light OF collateral
facts upon his toadyism by proxy that
would burn an indelible mark upon his
political escutcheon.

The merrYmnkers.

a large audience was present at the
Hawaiian Opera House last evening to
witness the first performance by Wash
Norton and his troupe OF Merrymakers.
The performance certainly exceeded the
expectations of the audience, and the
troupe are sure to have full houses dur
ing their stay in this city. The pro-
gramme opened with a screaming farce,
entitled ''The Fellow that Looks Like
Me" in which Mrs Norton and Messrs.
Norman and Leroyle sustained the char
acters. The latter as Cupid, a negro
servant, kept the audience convulsed
with laughter. Wash Norton next ap-
peared and introduced minstrel songs,
banjo, bones, tambourine and Japanese
fiddle solos. His performance on the
bones has never been equalled in this
city, and he is a complete master of the
banjo. Mr.. H. Norman sang Shields
fine song, "The Wolf" This gentleman
has a magnificent baritone voice, highly
trained and well under control. He was
deservedly encored, and responded with
another song, showing his voice to still
greater advantage. This was followed
by the box trick. A large box was
placed on the stage in sight of every one
in the audience. Mr.. Norton announced
that it would be locked, corded and
Norton would get into it. In response to
a request for any one from the audience
to inspect it, Mr.. Z. G. Williams, the I'M
dertaker, and Mr.. Wicke, Jr., went ON
the stage and thoroughly inspected the
box and its surroundings. They locked,
strapped and corded it, and then re-
manned on the stage. The box was
! placed behind a curtained screen with
Mrs. Norton sitting on it. Exactly -four
minutes afterward the curtain was drawn
on one side, showing the box in the ex-
act place it was left. Upon it being I'M
corded, unstrapped and Enclosed, Mrs
Norton was found inside, and the audi
ence was left in wonder how she got
there. Mr.. Leroyle gave song and
Irish jig, which was well done and much
applauded. Once more Wash Norton
made his appearance, and in full view o.
the audience, and with marvellous rapid
ity, changed his costume six times, per.
sonating the following characters
French officer, an old man, an Irish
washerwoman, an old maid and girl o.
the period. While so doing he ex
planned the different characters and
sang songs. Mr.. Norton received quite
an ovation after his dextrous perform
ance. The programme concluded with
Mrs Norton in her aerial sleep, during
which there was tableaux o
nations, including Hawaii. The
lime light worked by Mr.. Z. Bridge
was very effective. The troupe certainly
gave fine performance throughout, anC
there is no doubt that on Saturday anC
Monday evenings, when they appear
again, the Hawaiian Opera House vii
be crowded in every part.

Unfortunately there is in France very
little indeed of that spirit which induces
thousands of ladies and of gentlemen in
England and America to devote their
money and time to doing good for their
own sake. Philanthropy is hero so
generally regarded as tho exclusive bust
ness of the church or the government
that people feel as if they were working
against both in attempting DISTINGUISHED
enterprises. And in a quiet but most
effective way the church (most unwisely
for its own ultimate intercsts) and tho
government, do all in their power to
identify charity with themselves. Tho
result has been to interpose fresh bar
riers or distances between the poor and
factors i Leland's Letter

THE PLANTERS MONTHLY" AND THE
ELECTION.

The planters Monthly for February
has an article on 1.-THE Elections" pre-
sumably from the pen of its editor, Lor-
rim A Thurston This gentleman was a
successful candidate at the late election,
and doubtless writes from personal ex-
perience when he says that ''the facility
and cheapness with which the electorate
can be debauched and bought opens up
a field of speculation as to what the
future may have in store for Hawaii,
that is not encouraging to those who
have her honor and welfare at heart"
The statement in the article in question
that "the Legislature of 1886 may well
be known to posterity as the Official Gin
Legislature" is an impertinence on the
part of the writer, whose political asso-
ciates, if he did not do so himself, motor
iously resorted to gin, corruption and
terrorism to influence the elections. The
Administration came out of the contest
clean-handed and victorious, despite the
corruption fund of over $4,000 sub
scribed by Mr.. Thurston's political par
tisans, and presumably spent for cleo
ton purposes. We can hardly suppose
than any part of it is unaccounted for,
as was the case with the large corruption
fund of 1884, expended under the patron
age of the Planters Labor and Supply
Company. Furthermore, Mr.. Thurston
states that the Government has
of
rorism in the various depart
ments that civil servants outside the
Supreme Court are afraid to express an
independent opinion, when the fact is
bureaus in which the employees are not
only strong Opposition partisans, but do
not hesitate to denounce members OF the
Government by name. In any other
country such misconduct by officials
would not be tolerated a moment, and
indeed it should not be tolerated here.
Permanent officers of departments are
not responsible for the acts of the Govern
ment, and have no right whatever to
criticise their official superiors. We
would not have alluded to this subject,
perhaps, if it had not been for the re-
marks in the planters Monthly" al
though the matter in question for some
time past has attained the proportion OF
a public scandal 1t is about time some
Government servants were taught les
son in official decorum common to other
countries.

Length OF Heat Waves.
[Scientf ic Exchange. l

The luminous rays of the solar spec
trum have wave-lengths ranging between
the narrow limits of 900, Ola and .000 025
of an inch. Below these are dark heat
rays of somewhat greater wave-length,
but Professor S. P. Langley finds good
reason for believing that the heat radiated
by the soil has a wave-length twenty
times as great as that of the lowest visible
line in the solar spectrum, and that there
are probably wave lengths of something
more than one wo-thousandth of an inch.
The results are of much interest and i'm
pOrtance, as showing that all heat is not
of the same quality as that of the sun.

DeGraves Found Guilty.

John Dsgraves was brought up in the
Police Court yesterday morning to re-
ceive judgment for having So tins of
opium in his possession. His Honor
said there was not the slightest doubt
of the opium being in DeGraves' posses
sion. That was admitted. The story
that he took it from Chinaman who
was hiding behind barrels, was very i'm
probable. There are not many China
men who would risk such an amount Of
opium with an express driver. He
found him guilty, and fined him 5000
and sentenced him to imprisonment at
hard labor for 80 days, the opium to be
coniscated for the Hawaiian Govern
ment
