TIE GREAT EXPOSITION AT PAlas.-
Some idea of the magnitude of the uni
versal exposition of 1889 at Paris may
be gained from the fact that the total
area of buildings and enclosed grounds
is 100000 square feet. The build
ings are fine structures of glass and
iron, lighted by electricity and are now
fast approaching com pletion. Il ia ex-
pected that the total number Of exhibit
ors from all countries will reach 1000.
The space allotted tn the United States
is about $4,000 feet and it ia expected
that the exhibits from this country will
fully equal, il not sur pass, hose in 1873.
The shrewd manufacturer will seize this
opportunity for foreign display, and
thus create new markets for his goods
The $25o,Ooo appropriated by congress
will enable our exhibitors TO forward
their products with comparatively little
expense to themselves. Gen. w. B
Franklin, the commissioner-genersl ap-
pointed By the president, has established
hsadauarters in New York and is now
busily engaged in receiving applications
and perfecting details for complete rep
resentation. All of The European conn
tries, except Germany, take an interest
in the exposition and will make displays,
as will the South American republics,
Mexico and japan, and American maui
featuring and agricultural industries can
not afford to miss the opportunity of

TOWED BY A WHALE.
Takes the Anchor In His Mouth and
Runs Away With a Schooner.

A letter has been received from the
steward of the schooner H. B. Griffin,
Capt. George Nelson, now absent on the
Banks, in which it is stated that they
have met with an unusual experience,
viz: that of being towed by whale.
The affair occurred on fine day when
all the dOries were out attending the
travis. The captain and steward were
on board, as usual, looking after the
vessel and keeping an eye on the dories,
when all at once they felt sudden jerk,
and soon the vessel was going through
the water at rapid rate and no motive
power visible. 1t takes considerable to
startle fisherman, but this was some
thing SO uncommon, a vessel dashing
through water at a rapid rate with her
sails furled and anchor down, that they
began to look alarmed. Suddenly the
cause made itself manifest, when mon
strons whale arose to the surface, with
the anchor fast either in his jaw
or bloW-hole. He tore through the
water at high-pressure rate, and was
fast taking the craft out of sight of the
dOries, thus leaving the crews exposed;
and, besides this, there was danger of
the vessel being towed under. The only
remedy was to cut the cable. This was

the anchor in tow. The jib and foresail
were hoisted. and the vessel was soon
engaged in picking up her dories, and on
the way to Newfoundland, where new
anchor and cable were secured.
There are but two similar cases of
which we have any record, which we
have found IN the files of our paper,
viz: Schooner G.. II. Price was
towed day and a half by a
whale in 1873, when the fuke in the
anchor broke and she was released.
Then, again, on the 10Th of December,
1874, while the schooner Sultana, Cap
tain Peterson, was at anchor on the
Grand Bank, a sudden motion was felt,
and soon the vessel was speeding
through the water at a twelve-knot
speed The captain, not wishing to lose
sight of his dorymen, cut the cable after
the vessel had been towed some distance,
otherwise. he thought he might have
captured the monster. There was a
companion whale which swan with the
one who had the anchor, and he was
evidently astonished at the predicament
of his mate.-Ex.

able one from another. The tax receipt
system is also done away with.
Hereafter persons possessing the re-
quisite qualifications will see to it that
their names are duly placed upon the
Register of Voters of the precincts where
they reside, and when they 60 to vote
will procure ballots of any candidate or
his agent. Every elector who simply
votes and goes about his business, or
who urges the election of any person by
argument, will have no trouble; but
whoever attempts any unfair means or
by other crooked work attempts to pro-
cure the election of any one, will i'm
mediately get into trouble. Candidates
will pay a fee to the Minister Of the In
terror. This looks hard, but as the
Minister prints all the ballots, and every
candidate would probably spend much
more than the government for the same
purpose, the result will no doubt prove
eminently satisfactory. Candidates and
their agents are permitted to use every
proper and lawful means to procure
successful campaign, but woe betide the
unlucky trickster who steps outside of
what is right, fair and honorable. 1t is
an old saying, that the law is made for
evil-doers 1t will be found that this
law is for that purpose, if any one tries
any trickery or unfair practices. This
law was made for the purpose of securing
absolutely fair and honest elections, and
whoever attempts anything else will find
it so.

thorized by this Act, and the unauthorized
expenditure of any money from the Treas
urv to be thereafter accounted for to the
Legislature, by Indemnity Bill, except as
authorized by the Constitution, is hereby
expressly prohibited.
Noble Widemann said the ink was hardly
drv on the new Constitution when the
Ministers were mourning obligations to be
provided for by an indemnity bill. He did
not want an indemnity bill so much as
named in this Act. He moved to strike
the section out.
Minister Thurston said he was of the
opinion himself that for the future there
should be no indemnity bills. The indem
nifty bill of last session was for three items,
the expenses of elections, the Makiki
claims and the running of the steam tug.
These expenditures were called for under
extraordinary circumstances. The first
named, especially. was the result of revO-
luton.
The motion was lost.
The reading of the Appropriation bill
was got through with at 1858.
Noble Smith moved the House adjourn
to 10 o'clock Tuesday morning, and also
intimated that the Investigating Commit
tee on the bribery charges would meet
forthwith.

AT LAST the election bill has become
law. Hitherto our election laws have
been somewhat piecemeal in their con-
struction and relation to each other.
These laws are all repealed and in their
place we have single Act covering
everything necessary to be dealt with,
in connection with the personnel of the
Legislature and how to get it elected
and in sitting.
Probably all are acquainted with the
history of this bill. 1t is the result of
the labors of a commission appointed by
the Legislature of 1886 to report to the
present session. AS first introduced, the
bill provided for system of secret bal
loting, modelled after the English system.
To this was added the provisions which
have worked so we'll in British countries
to preserve the purity of elections
These constituted the wholly novel pro-
visions of the bill. The Legislature by
a close vote rejected the secret ballot
clauses, but substituted in place thereof
excellent provisions, by which hereafter
all ballots will be printed at government
expense; they will be of equal size and
of the same color and generally will be
Of such character as to be indistinguish-

THE DAILY
TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER II, 1888.

Upon the third reading of the Appro-
priation bill, several items were added,
swelling the bill by something like
eighteen thousand dollars. OF this,
$4,000 was for the long appropriated
road from Lahaina to Waikiki. Upon
the final sections a sharp discussion
arose as to the matter of indemnity bills.
The Ministry have attempted to limit
their power to expend outside of the
appropriations. The Constitution fur
nishes the only safe guide. But it is
well known that the constitutional Hmi
tations have been disregarded in times
past. A better method than by few
words in the Appropriation bill, would
be to define by law what should be in
Guided in the constitutional limitation.

The Portuguese Interpreter.

Mr.. EDITOR: l see in the Luso Ha-
waiiano of the 9Th inst. an editorial in
regard to the appropriation of 500 per
month for Portuguese interpreter, and
saying that there are two applicants for
the position and that it is not their
place (the Luso Hawaiiano's) to discuss
the merits of either of them. May ask
the savant editor of the Luso Hawaiiano
who is in a better position and has a
better right of discussing the merits of
those applying for position in our Ju-
dietary which interests his readers, than
himself? Is he afraid to touch either of
them? Is it not his place, as editor of
the Portuguese paper, to give us some
information in regard to the applicants?

Meantime the public will look to the
Attorney to institute criminal
proceedings to punish both bribe-givers
and bribe-takers in this matter. The
same public will probably be astonished
and scandalized to learn that our laws
do not make this criminal offense. We
have no common law crimes. 1t is safe
to say, that no offense, however wicked
and hurtful to public interests or private
rights, not provided for in our criminal
code, can be punished in our courts. 1t
would seem that an act should be passed
to provide for this. At present
we are in this anomalous position.
A person convicted of any of the forms
of bribery set forth in the code cannot
sit in the Legislature, yet one who has
bribed a legislator, or while a member of
the House has accepted brides, is still
eligible to sit as Noble or Representa-
tive. Something wrong about this, but
it seems to be the law.

The committee of enquiry upon the
alleged cases of bribery in the Legisla
ture did not report yesterday, but asked
for further time and the right to hold
secret sessions. Both requests were
granted and the committee held further
meetings at the close of the session.
The evidence taken is voluminous; the
committee is deserving of credit for the
thorough manner in which the eXamina-
ton is being made. It would be i'm
statement as to the ascertained facts,
but it is right to say that they are of a
grave character, and the report should
receive the most careful and dispas-
sionate consideration. If any member
is found guilty of receiving a bride,
public sentiment and a due regard to
the safety and stability of our institutions
demand that the severest penalty be
visited upon such person. The heavi-
est possible to be inflicted by the Legis-
lature is expulsion, and this remedy
ought to be applied if the offense is
clearly established. The honor and dig
nifty of the House require this to be
DONE The rights of the districts which
have been outraged by venal member
demand recognition by the House. 1t
would be an injustice to refuse or omit
prompt and vigorous action upon the
report whatever it may be.
