IT SEEMS unnecessary as a general
thing to refer to rumOrs. But as there
are those who believe there is truth in
the rumor that the Legislature will be
| prorogued by the King at an early date
and the old regime will be revived, it is
perhaps worth while to say to such, that
the party of reform is not asleep. We
do not forget the old saying that eternal
| vigilance is the price of liberty" The
| reform party are in favor of a constitu-
tional representative government for
Hawaii and that Hawaiian indepen-
dence shall be maintained. The surest
and speediest way to end forever
our Independent existence is to make
trouble. Property. interests are too
much in the hands of Americans, Eng
fish, Germans, to permit of their serious
or permanent injury without such
prompt and vigorous action on the part
of either one of those powers as to en-
force peace and order there. That would
mean occupation, and occupation means
a farewell at once and forever to a Ha-
waiian Kingdom under a Hawaiian king.
No one in the possession of ordinary in
telligence, but knows we'll that annexa-
ton to the United States would bring
immediate prosperity in many lines and
lay at rest forever all solicitude about
the treaty. All of our products would
then go into the various ports of the
United States duty free. Business and
commercial interests would all be bene-
flied by such a condition.
What can be said, then, of those who
would secretly or otherwise foment dis
turbance and trouble? Simply this, they
are traitors and enemies We most re-
spectfully warn His Majesty the King
that all those who encourage or advise
any disturbance, any interference with
the legal and constitutional administra-
ton of the government, are his
worst enemies. He first and before all
others will be the sufferer. His wisest
and truest course will be to follow his
own promise given, not only to the com
mittee of June 30, 1887, but to the coun-
try and to the world His assurances
were accepted as genuine in the loyal
faith and hope that they would be faith
fully observed. And after all is it not
worth while to assume at once that the
King would not do so unconstitutional a
thing as to prorogue the Legislature
without the advice and consent of his
Cabinet?

70 WHAT has become of the Honolulu,
Eva, Oahu, Railroad bill? 1t has been
buried in the hands of special commit
tee for a long while and it is rumored
that a majority of the committee are
hostile. Considering the fact that Skin
ner & Company are of the only other
parties who want the franchise, and that
it was not very long ago that all Homo
lulu was bowling against Messrs. Skin
ner & Company as having cheated the
Government out of $4,000, the present
reputed attitude of the gentlemen of the
committee is, to say the least, little
remarkable. 1t looks as though the
millennium were near at hand, when
the lion and the lamb are said to dis
cover a foRdness for each others soci-
ETY.. Perhaps a Seventh Day Adventist
influence has been brought to bear on
the gentlemen, and the Rev. Mr.. Cudney,
though distant in the body, may yet be
present with us in the spirit. We hope
the bill will be reported back soon and
favorably, and in any case that the
House will care enough for the interests
of Hawaii nei, to pass the bill over an
adverse report.

is notorious that nothing will tend to
make divorces frequent more than lax
laws about desertion. A year is soon
spent and then we can be free! No
doubt that will be the refrain of many
couple The law will be taken advan-
tage of by mutual agreement to procure
divorces. 1t throws wide the doors for
abuses of every sort. There is no need
to enlarge further upon what lies patent
to the world. Now, an aroused public
sentiment is all that is needed to kill the
Ubiquitous bill, and if the men and wo-
men of this community will only bestir
themselves, and take the pains to be-
come informed upon what is going on in
the Legislative Hall, they have it in their
power to see that this bill never gets past
its third reading.

THE item published in these columns
last week about trans-Pacifc cable is
one of those things which everyone con-
ours in regarding as apocryphal, simply
because it conveys such very good news.
The cable is certainly coming, but it has
been doing so for sSlong time that the
public has grown apathetic, ceasing to
believe or expect, almost ceasing to
hope. 1t is true, however, that the
prospects are brighter now than they
have ever been before, and it is perhaps
not too much to say that a very few
years will see the realization of this long
cherished scheme.

THE entertainment given by the negro
Minstrel Troupe, was no doubt a success
Notwithstanding the unreasonable hour
at which circumstances compelled it to
be given, and the disappointment OF
some ladies, who had secured tickets,
and were not notified of the opening
hour. A genuine negro minstrel is a
phenomenon in his way, and like all
true artists, whether in music the drama,
comedy or farce, is capable of atfording
pleasure and amusement, according to
the ability and tact displayed by him in
his vocation. The reputation of the
Hicks-Sawyer troupe is worldwide, and
they will undoubtedly reap golden har-
vest in their tour around the world, if
the management is entrusted to persons
qualified for the business. That such
was not the case last week, is evidenced
by the fact that Complimentary tickets"
to the entertainment here were withheld
from the press by the local agent of the
company, although it is the custom, the
world over, to furnish the press with
such tickets unasked. We do not be-
lieve that Messrs. Hicks & Sawyer, who
have the reputation of being gentlemen,
were cognizant of the conduct of their
agent in this matter, or that they au-
thOrized it in any way whatsoever. The
tickets, then, it must be assumed,
were withheld by the local agents, on
their own authority, to crafty some per-
sonal feelings, of which their principals
knew nothing. It has been stated to us
that the real reason was on account of
the criticisms made in this paper rela-
tive to some recent exhibitions given in
this city by travelling mountebanks.
That these comments were deserved,
subsequent events proved, for in one case
the audiences dwindled down to non
paying point; and in the other, the self
styled professor" left this port under
circumstances not very creditable to
himself

WE HAVE already commented on the
hastY and inconsiderate way in which
the House the other day passed to en-
grossment bill Gas it should be called)
to facilitate and promote the frequency
of divorce. 1t is perhaps too much to
expect that fifty-two men will have in
their corporate capacity what each one
may possess as an individual, namely,
common sense. Certainly in good deal
of the discussion in the Legislature late
ly, this quality has been conspicuous
chiefly by it's absence. When the House
has been sitting for considerably more
than two months, and the greater part of
it's work yet remains to be done, it would
seem transportation of valuable
time (not to use a harsher phrase) to
spend day discussing the height of a
fence, or the possession of fish killed in
a certain way. 1t is just as foolish (not
to use harsher phrase AGAIN. to slur
over legislation of the most vital impor-
lance with ten minutes debate. When
two wrongs make right, that will be a
proper way to make up for lost time. At
present it only throws the former sin of
ditfusiveness into a stronger light.
In connection with the divorce bill, it
is curious to note that the Hon. w. o.
Smith opposed the bill to abolish the
right of husband to imprison his wife
E.. i Al
ence, on the ground, as h alleged, that it
would increase divorce, etc. Now he
