THE CANT OF CRITICISM.

EDITOR OF WoMAN's CHRONICLE: Said Lord
Byron: "Of all the cants that ever have been
canted in this cantng world the cant of criti-
cism is the worst" WoMANs CHRONICLE must
pardon one of its readers if he suggests that
this remark applies to what appeared in the issue
of May 9TH, under the heading "a Bit of Educa.

to accord ourselves all the credit? A mule may

Much as many would like to conceal the fact, or

MEN, when they desire to achieve a purpose,
unite forces, and thus collectively accomplish OBJ
jects far beyond the reach of individuals singly.
Women could be of incalculable service and COM
fort to each other could they but get out of the
narrow and solitary ruts to which time and custom
has so long confined them. They could assist each
other in thousand helpful feminine ways to over
come the petty annoyances which infest the do
nestle realm. But women are only just beginning
to learn the power of organized effort. When
they have come to appreciate its powers to aid,
they will have discovered way out of many of the

3. The Rummies are alarmed He who runs
may read. Liquor organizations and leagues are
multiplying. Ministers and editors and lawyers
are being mobbed and shot The hate OF distlller
and brewer and saloonist is concentrating and
pouring itself upon Third party advocates ana
workers. Whom hell hates, Gods people ought
to love.
4. The politicians are alarmed The saloon is
entrenched in politics. Like every other business,
it desires legal sanction. 1t doesn't want to be
disturbed For this reason it is in politics. and
will stay there till driven out. 1t must stay there
or die. Hence it's best defence is to turn the
scent of the huntsmen. If it can make it's pur-
suers believe that temperance is moral question,
and therefore must be kept out of politics, 1t
abides in security You can't shoot thing unless
you aim at it and you can't aim at it unless you
find where it hides The Third party has found
it's lair, and hence the howl. Saloons have made

ders there's a hubbub in the political camp? But
it means victory by and BY.
5. The women are with us. Lift the women
and you lift the race; that's history. The future
of this municipalities not excepted-is to be what
its mothers make it. They are on the side of the
Third party; and well they may be. Who de-
mands the presence of the saloon? Is it the wo-
men? Never! 1t is the ssmen who drink and the
men who SELL and other men in professional bust
ness and political life who do not choose to incur
the ill will of those who drink and SELL" 1t is
man-made and appropriated institution. re
tear it down is woman's high prerogative and
duty; and voteless though she may be, the asso-
citation of her purity and gentleness and tears and
prayers with this party is its highest compliment
and earnest augury of ultimate triumph.
6. The churches are coming. More and more
unmistakable and outspoken are the utterances of
associations and conventions and conferences and
synods. The separation of church and state is de-
slrable; but how contemplate is that narrow par
tisanship and bigotry which denounces lively in
terest and participation on the part of all Gods
people in those questions which pertain to the
moral and political well being of the nation. We
are too slow rather than too fast in this direction
We endure giant wrongs till they can be endured
no longer; and then we arise and sweep them
away. That day is rapidly approaching in regard
to the saloon. We have picked up the dead and
wounded full long enough We are weary with
ambulance and hospital duties. The day of ag-
gressive warefare, of unqualified and absolute eX-
termination is at hand God speed It's coming

GENTLE INFLUENCES.

What we term good disposition is in nearly
every instance the result of gentle home influence;
the wise teachings, timely admonitions and dis
Greet holdings of the Adam born in us. Rarely is
extreme goodness inherent. Back of it lies the
wise counseings of someone to whom we are dear,
dience. The greatness of many a great man is
due to the devotion Of some woman-a mother,
wife, sster-who has been an inspiration to him

OF the hero. Biography tells us what Dorothy was
to William Wordsworth, Mary to Charles Lamb,
Jane to Thomas Carlysle, and Josephine to Ma
poleon.
Woman is natural student of human nature
Much of her knowledge on the ubject is instructive
Does she not study the disposition of each member
of her family? A good mother brings out the
good qualities in her children by entirely different
methods. She never antagonizes, but seeks rather
to avoid opposition and by gentle frmness to quell
rebellion She may be able to reason with one
child-wth another, twcre easier to reason with
the wind In every true home-such homes as
are the corner stone of our government, such
homes as men idcalize, such home as only a
happy man possesses-some woman yields the
scepter of power; some woman is making the
science of home government her life study. The
world knows no such diplomat as woman. She is
the power behind the throne and many king
that sits thereon is led through life by silken
web, in whose meshes he is securely fastened and
he knows not of it.
Many a man goes through life with an idea,
fondly cherished, that he is king in his own home
She helps him to cherish it, He is oblvious to
this power behind the throne which so skillfully
yields the scepter wheresoever she wills, and by
contributing to an unrufed spirit the thou
sand comforts so dear to him, keeps him in a con-
slant state of approval of himself. He dreams not
of the genius that prompts her to serve him sat

A LEAP YEAR ROMANCE,

A glimpse of twinkling feet,
A smile behind her feather fan,
And the victory was complete.
Mayhap she did not mean it so,

Twas my initial "whirl."

A full two weeks before,
And the severely proper lines
An invitation bore.

A fact forgotten quite,

My suit decolette,
And with the girl and carriage came
A narcissus bouquet.
She found me partners from all sides,
Fair girls in silk and tulle,
She brought me many u dainty ice
My fevered brow to cool.
The CLEAN of tapers waxen,
The music's rythmic flow
Set every languid pulse ahame
And every heart aglow.

Her chances 50 demure,
Were more than my poor tender heart
Was fated to endure.

With nesting flowers made sweet,

FIRES.

At about 5 a'clock Saturday after
noon the house owned by Mrs. Holt
on Fort street, just below Sch DOL
street, and occupied by Mr.. Slessin
ger, took fire. The fire companies
responded promptly to the alarm,
and several good streams of water
were playing on TO the burning
house in a few minutes. The attic
and roof of the dwelling were des-
stroyed by the flames, while the in
terror of the house was only scorch-
ed. The furniture, which was pretty
much saved, was insured for So, 900.
The house was also insured and will
probably be rebuilt by the insur-
ance company.
Shortly after 8 o'clock this morn
ming the residence of Manuel E. Sill
va, Nuuanu Valley, near the old ice
works caught fire and was burned
to the ground. The house was in
sured for 81 600.

mendations they advise that the bill
be laid on the table.
Noble Smith reported from the
minority of the committee that he
amended the bill, and with these
amendments he recommends its pas
sage.
The Acknowledgement read the
bill prepared by the committee to
restrict Chinese immigration.
Rep. Kinney moved indefinitely
postpone the minority report made
by Noble Smith. His report takes
the stomach out of the bill and con
sequently makes it worthless. There
is no use to try and identify China
man without photographing him,
and if that makes people sick, we
had better say we can't do anything
and postpone the whole bill.
Noble Smith spoke in favor of his
report, and said that if photograph
ing is desired by the majority of the
House, when the bill comes up it
can be put in there, and he thought
that it was very unwise and hasty
to dispose of his bill by indefinitely
postponing it. He said that ma
jority of the committee took the
stand that nothing could be done,
He did not think so, but it was too
serious q question to be dealt lightly
with and should have the greatest
consideration. We may not be able
to get ratification of the amend
ment to the Constitution next ses-
sion, and if such should be the case
the country with this law on its sta
tute books will not be in the posi-
ton it now is in,
Noble Baldwin moved to lay both
reports on the table to be consider
ed with the bill.
Rep. Kinney said the matter could
be settled now If the majority of
this House are against the photo
graphs, then let us take q vote on it
now and settle it.
Rep. c. Brown moved that the
report of the majority be adopted.
Rep. f. Brown moved to indef-
nitely postpone the majority report.
Noble Young said this was not
question of whose pet bill shall be
adopted, but what is for the best in
terest of the country. He therefore
moved to have both reports printed
and laid before the House.
The motion to indefinitely post
pone the majority report was lost.
The motion to receive the reports
and lay them on the table to be
considered with the bill was carried.
The House then adjourned until
10 a. m. Monday.

A RAID.

Friday night police officer hid
himself in the Kapiolani bathhouse,
near the Marine Railway, and while
there counted 60 persons, many of
whom were through passengers by
the S. S. Mariposa. A number OF
well-known townsmen were there
and all were having a glorious time.
No raid was made that night, but
on Saturday night, at about l
O'Clock, Captains Hopkins and Lar
sen made successful descent.
Entering the place they found about
20 persons there, abundance of spi-
rits and number Of wahines. Chas.
Molteno, keeper of the house, was
arrested and is charged with selling
spirituous liquors within 3 months
past without licence. A policeman
returning to the bathhouse half an
hour later caught the wife of the
proprietor making away with bottles
of liquor in boat and nabbed her.

THE HONOLULU RIFLES BALL.

This long-looked for pleasure
came off last Friday night with an
eclat, good-nature and satisfaction to
all which will place it ON record as
"thc event of the season."
On entering the Armory one could
not help being impressed with the
profuse and tasteful decorations,
which were suggestive of good cneer
and enjoyment. The words "be
merry" seemed to be written on
every palm leaf, flag and ribbon,
and upon the polished floor of the
newly renovated hall. After this,
the first to be noticed were, of
course, the ladies'. The talent,
beauty, youth ard virtue of Homo
lulu were there. Factions and
cliques were absent. To the delight
of all snubbery for once was forgot
ten. The gathering seemed to be
one large good-natured family.
Prominent among those present
were Lieutenant Carlin and DR..
Crawford of the Vandalla; DR..
Bookey, Paymaster Moore and Lieu
tenant Prichard of the English War
ship Espiegle; the Dolphin being
represented by Lieutenants Benson
and Leiper. Messrs. Clark and Fields
of the Clark Combination Company,
on their way TO San Francisco from
the Colonies, were also there. The
military were represented very nu-
merously, the main feature of this
representation being the many Off
GERS of the native corps. All the
officers of the Kings Own, the Cap
tain and first Lieutenant of the Lee
leiohoku Guards, the first Lieuten-
ant of the Princes Own and Queens
Own, and the Major and Quarter
master of the Second Battalion, all
added by their glittering uniforms
to the fairy-like scene.
The late additions TO the Armory
never looked better than they did
that night. Numerous tables were
set in each room, neatly decorated,
and collation. which was very
much appreciated was furnished by
the Elite at IL o'clock. The excel
lency of Mr.. Berger's band, led by
himself in person, was as usual,
faultless.
At half past twelve the. last waltz
was danced, and on retiring express
sions of satisfaction and hopes for
another event OF the same kind at an
early date were heard from all sides.

SKIPPED AT NIGHT.

The seventeen Cinnamon who
came here from Hongkong by the
bark Printzenberg several weeks
ago, and who were not permitted to
land because their passports were
irregular, skipped from the vessel
Saturday night, under the cloak of
darkness, and have not yet been
caught. The Government held the
vessel responsible for the Cinnamon.
The agents of the bark had Bos'n

REPORTS OF COMMITTEES.
Rep. Rice, from the Engrossing
Committee reported back the bill re-
lating to the bringing of suits for or
against the Hawaiian Government.
The bill was read and returned to
the Engrossing Committee for cor
rcction.
Noble Baldwin reported from the
Finance Committee on the petition
of several people who worked on the
Molokai water works, praying for
the payment of their wages. The
committee are satisfied that the
Superintendent of Water Works was
honest in his transactions, but the
manner in which he disbursed the
money received on account of this
work, is reprehensible. They be-
lieve that as soon as the new appro
priatlons are available the petitioners
will be paid. But if they do not
want to wait for that, they can hold
Mr.. Wilson personally responsible
for the same. Therefore the com
mittee recommend that the petition
be laid on the table. The report
was adopted.
Rep. Paehaole reported from the
Committee on Education to whom
was referred the petition praying
that the sum of 5000 be inserted in
the Appropriation Billfor Emily Ka-
nalulu to aid her in her work among
young Iawaiians, recommending
that it be laid on the table.
Adopted.
Rep. f. Brown reported from the
committee to whom was referred the
bill relating to the taking of small
fish, recommending an amendment,
"that no person shall be fined who
accidentally takes fish prohibited by
this law from being taken, while
fishing for other fish," With this
amendment they recommend the
passage OF the bill. Adopted.
The bill was then referred to the
Enrolment Committee.
The Acknowledgement reported
from the committee to whom was re-
ferred the bill relating to the i'm
portation and sale of alcohol. The
committee offer an amendment that
the duties be made 81 per gallon
instead of 20 per cent nd Oaiorem.
With this amendment they recon-
mend the passage of the bill.
Adopted.
The bill then passed to engross-
ment to be read third time on
Tuesday next.
Also from majority of a select
committee to whom was referred the
bill to license laborers, recommend
ing that the efforts OF the Legisla-
ture be made to amend the Consti-
tuition so that Chinese may be re-
stricted and also to amend the Chi
nese restriction bill passed in 1884,
and to that end they offer a bin
which they think will have the de-
sired effect. With these recon-

OPIUM RACKETS.

While the Espiegle was working
her electric light last Saturday night
she threw it on the stern of the S. S.
Australia just at the proper moment
to give Police Officer Kamana n
good view of a man lowering him
self from the steamer into the shore
boat Jubilee. Kamana watched the
boat carefully and when it touched
the steps near Colburn's hay and
grain house, the officer was there to
give Joe Dolan, an oiler on the Aus
tralia, a cordial welcome, and to
escort him and 80 tins of opium to
the Station House. Dolan pleaded
guilty before Judge Dayton this
morning and was fined 500.
Another little opium catch was
also made Saturday night, but was
not as successful as the above. Two
persons were trying to play the
string dodge from the steamer Aus
tralia to the Inter-Island dock. The
authorities pounced upon the game
little too soon and got only one
tin, which foated. Divers were sent
down, but no more of the drug has
as yet been found; neither has the
owner Of the one tin been spotted.
