The RIue Ribbon.

The Blue Ribbon brought forward a
varied and entertaining programme
Saturday evening. A piano duet by
the Misses Young was the first num-
Der, the keys being touched with such
power and effect that the ladies' skill
was laid under further contributions
by an encore.
Mrs. Z. G. Damon and Miss Beck
with gave a pretty vocal duet, and
were relieved of the inevitable recall
only by the fact announced by the
Chairman of the Entertainment Com
mittee that they had brought but one
piece of music with them.
a reading by Mrs. S. b. Dole was
the next number Mrs. Dole read, or
rather recited, with fine elocution,
Jean Ingelow's tragic poem, "a High
Tide on the English Coast"
The Chairman of the Entertain-
ment Committee, Mr.. p. G. Jones, an
nounced that he had secured practi-
cal man to deliver the address, and
referred to the Friday receptions he
had inaugurated at his residence the
preceding evening and which he in
tended to continue, and further in
timated ice-cream attractions gratis on
the evenings of the following week,
namely, Friday at his house and Sat
urday at the annual meeting of the
Blue Ribbon League.
Mr.. AthertOn came forward and pre-
faced his address with the remark that
the speech-making material at the
disposal of the committee must have
been exhausted when they had to call
upon him for an address. He had
gone into temperance societies thirty
years ago, and as he found plenty of
other work to do, he left the speech
flying to Others. He thought it a good
motto:
Early to bed and early to rise,
wear the blue ribbon and advertise.
The address was of a thoroughly
practical character. The speaker, not
Wlthstanding the self-depreciatory re-
marks In the preamble, succeeded in
crowding bold array of facts and ex-
emplificatiOns of his subject, into a
brief space.
A vote of thanks was passed to the
friends who had taken part in the pro-
gramme.
A rousing finale was given by the
President, Rev. H. H. Gowen, in
which he struck heavy on the matter
OF individual responsibility, showing
the absurdity of men attempting to
shift their personal responsibilities on
to the shoulders of an organization.
and emphasizing the duty of reliance
on the great Source of moral strength
for support in every attempt at reach
ing higher and better conditions Of
life and character.

aged 565 per annum. And Of these
~ deaths, sc, or more than three
fourths of the whole number, were
Hawaiians. Among the foreigners
mot including Chinese) there were
only four deaths, and one of these
was smallpox patient, landed from
the whaleship Josephine, who died IN
the quarantine hospital, on the reef.
This showing for city of nearly If
not quite $4,000, is certainly very
creditable, and to whatever causes 1t
NAV be attributable, no one can deny
that portion of it may be justly &C
corded to the Health Department and
its agents, unless it be assumed that
the whole is the result of mere chance.

THE VETO DECISION.
So Aonrs IN RKBUs

The Supreme Court met IN Banco,
yesterday at noon, and gave Judgment
on the validity of the so-called vetoed
bills of last Legislature. The ques-
ton was raised in the case of Everett
versus Baker in which a mandamus
was applied for to compel the defend
ant to deliver up the records and
other property of the Office of Gov
ernor, in terms of the "Act to provide
for the discharge of certain duties
heretofore performed by the Govern
ors of the different islands"
The Judgment of the Court is that
the said Act has not become a law,
having been disapproved of by the
King in the manner provided for by
the Constitution.
Mr.. Justice Dole read an opinion
dissenting from the above and main
tanning the validity of the Act.
The full text of both opinions will
appear in next weeks issue.

FROM THE GARDEN ISLE
All About the Farewell Feast to Mr..
Potter Increase of Population.

Mr.. George C. Potter's farewell din
ner came off with great eclat last
Saturday night AT about $3.50 P. m.
the guests filed into Col. Spalding's
new hall, and what scene burst upon
their enraptured view! We knew at
once that feminine hands had wrought
the wrought, and that feminine taste
had ordered the matchless arrange
ment of flowers, roast pork, roast duck,
chicken and every variety of cookery,
salads fit for the new Ministry-my
feelings overpower me. But the fair
forms that had given such beauty to
the festal board had fitted, and the
dignified bachelors were surveyors of
all they were monarchs of. Hon. Geo.
H. Dole dissected the pig with a grace
and dignity worthy of the occasion.
Oh, how we reveled in that square
meal What a glorious treat, what
stupendous gorge it was to the board
ers at White & Willis hash EN-
porium.
And then the songs, the toasts, the
eloquent responses, the recitations and
the inspiring strains of music. Angels
floating through ether paused to listen
in rapt admiration and sighed to think
lllGN MGlC lOU luNllCQ.
Araby the blest cooled their heels on
the easements and resumed their flight
with soul-entrancing odOrs of roast
variety, salads, jellies, cakes in pro-
fusion, pies in perspective, truft1es on
trust, mushrooms on the half shell,
and"on draught. Sweet memories
of the past f1oated above like halo,
b., H,,;rr III
and whispered in seductive accents,
Wade in.p Mr.. Potter in well chosen
words babe farewell to these haunts
and announced his departure for Wal
hee. A young man then recited
Scots Waihee WI Wallace Bled,"
and another sang with pathos,
"Waihee Down Upon the Suwanee
River" And bright the lamps shone
DER roast pork, roast duck, chicken
in every variety, salads, marmalades,
wine jellies, ETC., etc. The wee small
hours at last admOnished all the par
Elephants that even roast pork, chicken
in every variety, etc., are transitOry.
The following well-known epicures
were present: Harry Dimond, DIR.

morrow for his new home.
Notwithstanding the fact that strong
southwesterly gales have prevailed,
Mr.. Henning is the happy father of a
bouncing girl, and Mr. F. Riedel is the
bouncing father of happy hoy, all of
which goes to show the marvellous
salubrity of our glorious climate

The Grafton of His Excellency the
Attorney General on the veto ques-
ton before the Supreme Court Thurs
day was a mastery effort, in every
way worthy of the occasion. His
Excellency had evidently mastered
every point in the case and presented
it in a calm, logical and exhaustive
series of arguments, authorities and
clearly defined principles of enlight-
ened constitutional government. The
legendary veto provocative of the
sovereign of Great Britain, the pre-
amble to the Hawaiian constitution,
the relation to one another of differ
ent articles of that document and the
purport and intent of the 4Sth article
as set forth in the 18th were arrayed
before the Court in a manner highly
creditable to His Excellency's ability
as a lawyer, as well as to his appre-
citation of the magnitude of the issue
as affecting the present and future
legislation of the Kingdom

PARTIAL returns from the French
triennial elections show a large ma
jority of Republicans elected, al
though the Conservatives had gained
four Senators. The severe test I'M
dergone satisfactorily by the institu-
ton of the republic, in the late presi-
dental crisis, will prevent anxiety
over periodical variations in the ex-
preston of electoral opinion, so long

WHEN nation or a community
adopts the watchword of progress, eff
forts in that direction are often best
which are original. Some of the
grandest and most successful expert
ments in social science have been I'M
dertaken in, and become the pride of,
countries among the least in point of
prestige of the nations of the world.
And in some cases the Great Powers
are more celebrated outside their
bounds for the influence, born of
strength, which they WELD in inter
national politics, than for excellencies
of particular branches of their inter
nal polity which are deserving of
greater honor from benefited human
ity. Thus now and then the student
of the science of government in his
reading, or researches, or travels,
comes across here a very highly de-
veloped system of public instruction,
there a model police establishment, in
one country a perfectly graduated
judiciary, and in another an exceed
ingly woodworking system of mu-
nicipal government While, in most
of such instances of high standards
attained in different branches of pub
lie service, it is probable that much
has been learned and borrowed of the
experience of other communities, still
their prime excellence would most
likely be found to have proceeded
from the originality with which
theories and practices. wherever OF
however found, have been adapted to
the peculiar conditions and circum-
stances of the community to which
they were to be applied. 1t was re-
lated of rather prosy paper once
published in New York, that one of
its standing rules was that whenever
any of the staff discovered a joke
amongst the copy he was to kill it in
stantly. This is too often the policy
pursued by many members of com
munity with regard to anything like
original ideas-whenever one is de
serted on the surface of public discus
sion it is to be remorselessly bounced
upon and, if possible, slain. It is to
be hoped that Honolulu will never &C
quire this kind of murderous repu-
tation.

As has been already stated in our
columns, the debate on the proposed
revision Of the tariff had been opened
in Congress, by two strong speeches
one in favor of protection by Sen
ator Sherman and the other by Sen
ator Voorhees,, advocating lower duties,
The pith of Sherman's speech is en-
braced in the following sentence /:
For over one-third of all the articles
of foreign production consumed in the
Z. S., there was absolute free trade.
They were manly such articles as
could not be produced here and did
not come into competition with do
nestle industry. With that kind of
free trade he was in sympathy"
Senator Voorhees, said AS a
choice between reducing internal
revenue or taxes, he would cheaper
woods, linens, cotton fabrics, salt,
lumber, coal, iron, and steel, by re-
duction of duties, retaining them on
articles of luxury" etc. Nothing was
said about sugar in this debate.
As the debate goes on, it will be
observed that the advocates ofregision
become more cautious in naming the
staples, on which the duties should be
reduced. And it is more than likely
that Congress, after hearing the vari-
Gus opinions from all sections of the
country, will decide not to introduce
an element of discord into politics,
and postpone the whole matter till
after the next presidential election.

has caused so much anxiety, amounts

The Los Angeles Mirror corrects a
statement in an Eastern paper, to the
effect that California fruit-growers
have been unable to make olive Gull
ture profitable, by saying 'As a
fact, the olive is a more profitable
crop, in California, than any other
that our horticulturists have attempt
ed to raise" From all the evidence
bearing on the question which we
have seen, it might safely be assumed
that the olive could be made the most
profitable production possible on large
areas of land in these islands.

The Bulletin betrays neither an
''unillumined lay mind" nor a light
head when it attacks the abuse of
encoring at all sorts of public per-
formances in Honolulu. Elsewhere
the same abuse has been suppressed
by conductors of entertainments reso
lutely ignoring all encores, then, if
there be time, perhaps calling on I'M
mistakably superior performers for
an extra effort before the programme
is concluded. Firmness and tact are
