Annexation is in the air. Latest advices
from Nova Scotia and Newfoundland state
tibet the secession movement Ia the prov
ince and the anti-confederation movement
in the colony have developed unexpected
strength. The government are warned
not to trifle with either agitation In the
belief that II il not n serious menace to
Canadian unity. The solid Parliamentary
delegation from the maritime provinces is
large enough when acting together to
seize the balance of power in the Federal
Parliament at this moment. The aim of
the secessionist and annexationist men,
hers il, to form separate confederation
of the maritime provinces, bring New
foundland into it, and then go over in a
body to the States. leaving the remaining
provinces to shift for themselves as they
think fit, without a single open Atlantic
port five months in the year. This pro-
gramme is being actively pushed forward
here In Nova Scotia and in Newfoundland.

Of the great Western lakes, the
inland SEES ~hieh are to New York, Ohio,
Pennsy wanna md the North West what the
Black and Caspian seas are to the fnhabi-
tants aud business Of Eastern Europe and
the adjoining countries OF Asia. Accord
ing to the annual report Of the Commission
er Of Navigation thirty-eight per cent. OF
all the shipbuilding done 10 the United
states during the year 1887 was done on
the lakes. and more than half the tonnage
built on the lakes was steav vessels.
There IL a steady increase on the lakes Of
ron and steel bulls for vessels. There is also
a steady increase In the average size Of lake
steamers. These facts indicate the great
importance Of lake shipping and lake COM
nerce. and also that it ia steadily assum-
ing more permanent character. Every
IRON and steel hull il built with view to
many years Of service, whereas wooden
Iulls are not expected to last many years.
fhe class Of large lake steamers recently
built and projected for lake commerce are
especially designed to last long time and
each new one is made more durable than
her predecessors. The great Government
works ia deepening channels, construct
ing harbors, and increasing the capacity
Of ship canals on the lakes all tend TO en-
courage the construction Of durable iron
md steel vessels of large capacity, and all
also held to still further enlarge the i'm
mense commerce of the lakes.

Senator Hale's investigation Is bringing
to light mass of new evidence as to Mr..
Cleveland's sham reform of the Civil
Service. From the first il has consisted
in clean output of Republicans aud an
input of Democrats, simply because they
were such. Another thing the investiga-
ton shows is that the service In all de-
partments has been materially weakened
and demonlized by such specimens Of
reform"

HARRY BYNG,S SHOW.

Mr.. Harry Byng's show, at the
Opera House, on Saturday night,
was a fulfilment of his promise to
the public, in variety and conform
ity to the standard of imitation.
There was singing, dancing, and
playing-the last word being used
in a double sense, as referring to
the manipulation of musical instru-
ments and the acting of comedy.
They were all three done creditably
well, and the people in the house
applauded most heartily. An I'M
usual abundance of public amuse-
ments during the last two or three
weeks past probably had the effect
of causing the attendance TO be
smaller than it otherwise would have
been; for the audience was not large
in the lower part of the house, al
though upstairs was we'll filed.
Harry worked hard to get up the
show, and he has the satisfaction to
know that those who patronized it
were considerably amused.

ANOTHER OLD RESIDENT GONE.

The death of Mr.. James Smyth,
at Ulupalakua, on June oath, in his
G3rd year, leaves another breach in
the ranks of the kamaaina's. Mr..
Smyth was born in Londonderry,
Ireland, in 1925. He came to this
country 1917, and was secretary to
the British Legation under General
Miller. Subsequently he was in the
employ of the late Capt. Makee,
at Ulupalakua, where he remained
about u years. From there he
went to Nh on Maui, and started Il
goat Ranch. This not proving u
very lucrative venture he gave it up,
and went to the Huelo Plantation as
book keeper. From there he drifted
back to Ulupalakua where he died
as above stated. He leaves q wife
and five children to mourn his loss.

FAREWELL GREETINGS.

Mr.. L. Muller, of the long-estab-

Hackfeld e Co. is about to take q
trip to his native land, Germany.
During that gentleman's eight or
nine years residence in Honolulu
he has made many friends, all of
whom, realizing his worth, bid adieu
with regret. One evening last week
MIR. H. f. Glade gave little party
of Mr.. Muller's most intimate
friends, of whom there were about
two dozen present, to wish him good
bye. On Saturday night Judge
Widemann invited number of
gentlemen to meet Mr.. Muller at the
British Club, for the same purpose.
The time passed pleasantly and
cheeIily, the prospect of parting
being tempered by the hope of a re-
union ere long. Another party is to
follow this evening. Aloha, Mr..
Muller.

on his face with a pistol under him,

SOMETHING NEW,

At the residence of DR.. +. l..
Miner, on Beretania street, may be
seen something new for Honolulu in
the shape of window awnings. Every
window on the front side of the
house is protected from the glazing
rays of the sun by one, and the
come-in- and enjoy-the-cool-air and
shade appearance of the window, as
we'll as the protection from dust that
such awnings afford, will UNI
doubtedly recommend them to many
Others who are DESTROYS of obtaining
protection from the SUMS rays, and
the clouds of dust that continually
fly about our streets during dry
weather.

COLONEL SPAULDlNG'S VIEWS.

EDITOR BULLETIN:-Your very full
report of the crude remarks made
by me before the Legislative Com
mittee, which you dignity by the
name of ga speech" seems to i'm
port TO them an Importance entirely
unanticipatcd; and feel that the
publicity you have given to the ideas
expressed by me requires that l
should make better explanation OF
my views on the Chinese question
than was possible in the hasty and
unprecedented remarks before the
committee.
In the first place | am at loss to
conceive why there should be any
establishment at my agreeding, as a
suguar planter, with some of the
ideas expressed by the so called
Auti-Asiatic Society. So far as any
expression of views or wishes to cut
off the supply of Asiatic labor is
concerned, have not and do not
agree. But to the extent of freeing
Honolulu from the worse than use
less surplus of Chinese, now and for
long time harbored within its limits,
| may say that | have been u strong
advocate for years, before any such
society was organized, and even be-
fore many Of its members came to
these islands.
Again, | disclaim any desire to
needlcssIy interfere with the present
Constitution, or to carelessly abro-
gate or change any of the rules laid
down therein. l respect that in
strument as highly as any man in
the country, and would not open the
door for useless changes and inno-
walton by establishing a precedent
of hasty legislation. But as / re-
gard self preservation the first right
of man, so | deem the Constitution
but a compact for the better protec-
ton of rights, to be changed when
ever those rights shall be assailed.
All law is, or should be founded
on the will of the majority of the
voters in the community, and is, or
should he established for the general
good. Special or class Legislation is
repugnant to the ideas and principles
of free countries, and is danger
Gus experiment even where the
divine right of Kings is tacitly adj
miltcd. But the world is not sufli-
GENTLY advanced for theory and
practice to go hand in hand, and we
are sometimes obliged to protect
ourselves by laws that will not stand
the test of abstract augmentation.
We may protect ourselves against
the mad-dog, or the sale of poisons,
by restrictive laws; why not against
the dance-house and the gin-mill
So far, the only successful advance
made against these enemies to the
general good has been through the
application of the power known a:
"Local Option" and it is this power
or means that / would recommend
to our Honorable Legislature.
If the people of the Great Repub
lie, or any of its states, find tina
they can by means of tie powerful
force of Local Option grapple will
and overcome the monstrous hydrI
intemperance that has solong stalkeC
through the land, defying all law
against the curse by the cry o
"class leglslation," shall We not alsc
by means of this moral power pu
! under foot the evil which threaten
