THE LAW.

The territorial Legislature that as-
sembles in Helena next month will be
called upon to rectify . number OF
blunders Of previous legislatures, and
among other things TO bring order out
of chaos in the matter Of the licensing
Of games of chance. The Compiled
Statutes Of Montana prohibit the play
ing ''for money or other thing of
voluen Of certain games which are
generally considered TO give the house
sn undue advantage over the patron.
The prohibited games are "three.card
monte, strap game, thimble-rig. pat
ent safe game, black and red (com-
monty known as the ten dice game
percentage stud horse p ker, percent
age draw poker, twenty.oDe, high
ball, blue Jay, chuck luck, short faro,
or any dice game, and two card box ct
faro And yet, without taking the
trouble to repeal the existing statute,
the legislature at the special session Of
1857 enacted that q license fee Of $3.50
a month shall be exacted from per
sons operating tables at which are
play d the very games specified above.
The county attorney has given an
opinion that the lat enactment re-
peals the prohibiting statute, and
upon his dictum licenses are regularly
issued for the RAINING OF such games.
There has been no appeal to the courts
TO test the sOundness of the county at
torney's opinion. and owing 10 the
nearness of the next session Of the
legislative assembly such q step would
MT be advisable now.
The intent OF the law, plainly. was
10 prohibit games at which The patron
had no chacca IN win. Any one who
has given the subject any attention
must know that percentage games
have only to be played long enough 10
order to bring all toe money Ia the
Dbrrfrrioh VI u HhAlobH lulo Tue
houses till. At eve the fairest Of
games OF chance the odds are largely
in favor of the houses, which can well
afford 10 forego the sure thing''
games in consideration Of having the
laws protection. Indeed The better

would be very glad to see them elected

Of patrons shall be protected-thst

ly questioned that would parade the
faults and weakness of the acknOwl-
edged head of the nation. Mr.. Ballou
appears by his writing to have obtained
his information by hearsay and without
any opportunity for an acquaintance
that might have showed the better side
of the man "with more than ordinary
intelligence and a good degree of cul-
ture." Certain it is that the insinua-
ton that the Kings ancestors, and by
implication the King himself, were re-
sponsible for the death of Capt. Cook,
who he declares was "slain, roasted and
eaten," is entirely uncalled for and
strangely lacking in true courtesy, to
say the least, after the kindly personal
attention shown him by the King at the
race-course. The statement lacks the
first element of truthfulness, for the re-
mains of Capt. Cook were never roasted
and eaten," but treated with great re-
spect, as he had been worshipped by the
people with divine hOnors as one of their
gods.
How far this criticism will bear upon
what follows in the book we must leave
others to Judge and correct if necessary.

LILIUOKALANI EDUCATIONAL SOCIETY,

1t was no part our intention, when
calling for a financial statement of the
affairs of this very useful society, to in
sinuate that the contributions OF the
public were unwisely expen led. We do
not for moment believe this. The
burden of our remarks was that out
siders do not know how they are ex-
pended, and that considering the society
receives a good deal of outside support
it is only right that this Information
should be afforded. This is a view which
will scarcely be cOmbatted, and we are
prepared to believe that the omission has
been due to an oversight rather than to
any other cause. We are we'll aware
that the society is divided into two dis
tInct branches, but it is not to be ex-
pected that every contributor stops to
consider that his donation is to be ap-
piled to one particular branch of the So
Ciety. If a statement Of receipts and
expenditures of all the donations re-
ceived from outside sources were pub
lished periodically public confidence
would be considerably strengthened

HAWAIIAN HISTORY.
AS MIsrepresemted i'm "a Recent Book.

AS MisrepreSenGed i'm "a Recent Rock.
To the Editor of the Springfield Gre
publican:
Having been a resident for MANY
years on the Hawaiian Islands. with a
privileged acquaintance with each of the
four reigning kings prior to and also with
his present majesty, and having Travelled
quite extensively over the whole group
as business man and sight-seer, be-
coming well acquainted with the man
ners and customs as we'll as the language
OF the people, [ feel special interest in
what SO intelligent traveller as Mr..
Ballou is reputed to be, should state
about SO interesting a nation, and one in
which the American people have taken
such great interest, and to which we
shall most undoubtedly be more closely
drawn in the not far off future. Anvone
who is at all familiar with the history of
the Hawaiian people knows that it is
very accessible, that such writer's of the
history of the islands as Dibble, J. J.
Jarvis, Bingham and Fernandez en-
joyed special advantages for gathering
information of the past $50 years. These
writer's cover somewhat the same ground
yet each having a different object in
view serves to bring out some facts and
information that the others do not incor-
porate. Later travellers to and about the
islands have given some very interesting
and accurate descriptions of the life,
habits and customs of the people. We
venture the assertion that there has
been no traveller in the Hawaiian Isl
ands who has given us his impressions,
who has written so carelessly, whose
of historic facts are SO unre !
liable, and whose charges made against
the people are so far from being in &C
cord with all other writer's, and we.may
say from well authenticated history, as !
Mr.. Ballou in his ''Under the Southern
Cross" We fail to understand the why
md wherefore of his misstatements. He
must have been grossly deceived, or

MIR. BALLOU CORRECTED.

In another column we publish letter
from the Springfield Republican" cor
recting few of the many misstatements
contained in Mr.. Ballou's recent work in
which he so grossly misrepresented the
Hawaiians. 1t is difficult to conceive
how man OF ordinary intelligence, who
paid even a short visit to these Islands,
could possibly be SO misled on matters
which, to use fayorite expression of an
eminent English historian, "every
schoolboy knows"
