AN interesting event appears to be prom
ised by the offer of the owner of live
gorilla, in France, to back the animal to
fight any pugilist in the world; but it will
never come of. The pugilist will of course
at once file the objection that if he were put
face to face with The animals he would be
compelled to violate scientific rules by fight
ing. The gorilla. on the other hand, would
be entitled to object to such match on the
ground that evil associations corrupt good
manners

GENERAL ALGER's presence. at a White
House dinner the othernight, occasions some
comment. Nevertheless. it must have been
very satisfactory to the President to have
Alger there. If he could compromise with
all the aspirants to Cabinet positions and
other high places at the rate of dinner
apiece, he might count himself in great luck
and start an eating house.

IN A BY-wAY.

Thro' the brush and underground
flower took its place;
tiny. wondrous little thing,
With sly and pensive face.
Thro' the brush and underwood
The wind swept thro' and thro',
Kissed the flower on neck and breast
And dried Its tears of dew.
The flower bloomed and quickly died,
Like life. perchance, we know.
You and know just such an one,
That comes and goes like the snow;
Only flower in by-way path,
Living and dying in Christ alone
The world better for examples set.
For wisdom comes with pain and moan.

From the Cincinnati Commercial Gazette
The President is about to enjoy few days'
recreation. He should not be followed by an
army of place-seekers. as the farmer with a
basket of corn is followed by drove of hungry

that movement is on foot at Atlantic City to

the use of the President and his family. If
the cottage is built and its use accepted, a high
fence should surround it and a bulldog be
posted at the front gate to receive the cards of
visitors.

a beneficial order Of course, but especially
planned to protect the advance agent from

they will get their rights ANY dramatic editor
or critic who declines to give every advance
agent who calls upon him the best chair in the
office, good cigar and an invitation to dine at
the swell restaurant of the town, will be boy
cotted by all members of the A. A. l., that is,

LOCAL SELF GOVERNMENT FOR HOMO
LULU.

The question of some kind of local
or municipal government for
Honolulu, which was referred to
briefly in Tuesdays Bulletin was for
many years a standing topic for dis
cussion, and was always talked up
and written up with especial vigor
as the time approached for the re-
gular sessions, of the legislature.
But nothing practical was ever done
or attempted towards securing the
desired improvement. The opposi-
ton was too strong TO be successful
~ resisted. Such opposition was al
ways understood to proceed from
the palace or the government house,
or from both, and to be based upon
the large relative amount of expen-
diture and patronage involved in
administering the affairs of this dis
trict, as compared with the rest of
the islands. The personal and poll
tical advantages accruing from the
handling of so much public money
and the distribution of the official
loaves and fishes, was something
that the men who had the running
of the machine were never willing to
forego.
Gradually, public interest in the
matter seemed to die out, and for
the last six or seven years very little
has been heard about it. This seem
ing apathy may be attributed to
three causes: first-the growing con-
viction of the hOpelessness of max
ing successful Roadway against the
powerful influences above named;
second-the recognized uselessness
of even attempting to secure any
such radical measure of reform from
LEGISLATORS who waltzed to the crack
of the ring masters whip in the days |
of Gibson, Creighton, Kaulukou,
Gulick, Aholo and company; and !
third-the fact that since the present
Minister of the Interior has been In

office. there has been such an i'm
provement in the administration of
those matters which would naturally
come under the control of a local
governing body, that the need of
any change of system has been less
apparent than before.
But after all. an energetic and ca
pable Minister Is only happy ac-
cident, liable to be followed, sooner
or later, by one Of exactly opposite
qualities. Some kind of local gov

portion of the intelligence, business

is a very good place for the process

CORRESPONDENCE.
We do not hold ourselves respo nsibie for the

Rewarding the samoans-A Suggestion
Mr.. EDITOR Il suppose there can
be no doubt that the United States
Government will take some suitable
action upon Admiral Kimberly's
recommendation of recognizing IN a
substantial manner the very valuable
services of the natives at the time of
the recent shipwrecks. Your sug
gestions as to the form which such
recognition should take are very
proper, but / should also like TO
make d suggestion of my own, which
is as follows:
1t appears to be pretty well under
stood that the Berlin Conference
will agree to some plan by which
the Independence of Samoa will be
secured, and Malietoa or some other
native chief exercise the functions of
sovereignty. 1t seems to me that IN
view of all the circumstances of the
case, it would be not only hand
some, but a graceful and appropriate
act for the United States to erect a
Du1IulDg Su1LdDlS lCE tile ISSIuSACC
Of the Samoan ruler, and present 1t
to he used for that purpose, and spe-
officially as a testimonial in recogni-
ton of the services of the natives in
saving American lives and prop
erty. OF course, such building
would not need to be anything of
the kind that we would call palace,
but what could be regarded, in view
of native habits and local conditions,
a dignifed and appropriate resi-
dence for Samoan king.
Such action need not preclude the
bestowal of medals and other re-
wards upon individuals who espe-
cially distinguished themselves, or
the making provision for the fami-
lies of those who lost their lives. 1t
would be rather a testimonial to the
Samoan people as a whole The
natives acted nobly; the United
States is rich and ought to be gen
| erOus AMERICAN.
