A RETROSPECT.

Thirty-three years ago this day
July 2, 1866 the first number of the
PACIFIC COMMERCIAL ADVERTISER was
issued in the wooden building which
formerly stood opposite Bishop &
Co.'s Bank on Merchant street. For
printing it, new Adams power press
and printing Office, types, etc., had
been imported from Boston via Cape
Horn. The day set for issuing the
first number was looked forward to
with much interest, and large crowd
of the leading citizens of Honolulu
filled the printing room at the hour
when the edition began to be worked
off. Barnum W. Field secured the
first impression, Captain Thomas
Spencer the second, Captain B. +.
Snow the third, and so on, each one
regarding his copy as prize worth
preserving. The edition was one
thousand copies, which was deemed
a sufficient supply for all the wants
of the town, but before the close of
the week not copy was left at the
publication Office. The size of the
paper was about that Of the present
daily.
It would be interesting, were it
possible, to reproduce, list Of the
names which were on the first sub
scriptlon book of the ADVERTISER,
come gone to the better land, and
others still living here or elsewhere.
Among them were all the leading
merchants and residents Of that day

In connection with the above, an
interesting item may be noticed here,
regarding the vignette in the head
ing of the Daily. It was sketched
by the writer from the cross-trees of
one of the guano clipper SHIPS lying
at anchor near the bell buoy off the
port, in 1855, and the drawing was
sent to Boston, where it was engraved
and electrotyped. This electrotype
plate has been in use during the past
thirty-three years, and it is estimated
that from it have been struck off
nearly if not quite two and a half
millions of Impressions, in the
weekly, semi weekly and daily issues,
and its appearance now is about as
clear as when first put into use.

oppose the building of a decent building for
Kenosha's children ought to be able to give
very good reasons for their action. They
certainly cannot be financial, for the Coun-

Kenosha is growing very rapidly and
strangers look at the school houses among

the City Council persist in their obstruct-

can and probably will try conclusions with
them and it is to be hoped the Board will
bring the Council to a more manly view of
the case. Public opinion would undoubted-

1t is difficult to see how Mr.. Drummond
or anybody else could draw from the PRESS
editorial of Saturday on the "City's stock in
the 0gdensburg" any unfavorable reflect
ion on the Maine Central. But as he ap-
pears to have done so it seems necessary to
say that no reflection whatever was in
tended. The Maine Central and
everybody else connected with this case,
including the plaintiffs, acted fairly and
honorably. The rights of the parties
were In doubt. and the minority bond
holders very properly brough. the matter
before the Supreme Court for settlement
We think also that the Mayor or city gov
ernment or whoever was responsible for the
rejection of Mr.. Drummond's offer of COM
promise acted for the best Had comproin-
ise been effected on the basis he suggested
those who believed the city had good claim
on the second class of coupons would have
felt that the city's interests had been sacri-
feed. A decision by the court removes all
opportunity to cast reproaches on anybody
either now Or in the future.

On the 18th day of last January our es-
teemed contemporary, the Evening Express,
speaking of the Australian system of voting,
said:
But the chief objection to the new plan is not
one of detail. IL goes to the very essence OF the
system itself. This nation has not been brought
iae n ne and viii not be carried fdrpRer
al ing In the path OF moral, social aud political
reform, by men who are afraid to disclose to each
ed topics. But unless that suffrage has behind II
conscience. convictions and courage it Will prove
but crumbling foundation. Its chief reliance
has been in the pas, and must be la the future.
in an enlightened, conscientious and courageous
citizenship, which knows its rights and duties at
form them. Such spirit must be the parent of
freedom from intimidation and fraud and corrup-
ton.
Now contrast the following deliverance by
the same paper, made on last Friday, with
the above:
The Connections secret ballot law is reported TO
that state Well it might. 1t is simple and
practicable measure Its leadingfeatures are the
lr n ana woe from
the provision for uniform ballots and compulsory
secret voting This is provided for in a way to
from secret ballot with the least possible incon-
venlence to the voter, and with practically no
risk OF the loss OF a vote through misappreher-
In this particular it differs radio lily from the
bill which was defeated by the Legislature OF this
State last winter. Proceedings under this latter
measure were so liable to be misunderstood that
the bill itself provided for sort of preliminary
school OF Instruction. whereby voters who had the
time might learn how to vote under 1t without
risk OF losing altogether their right of suffrage.
The bill was so unlike the Connecticut law that
lts practlcability cannot be presupaosed from re-
suits under the latter.
The freedom and purity of the ballot must be
secured and maintained at all hazards IL for
this purpose secret voting is necessary, it will and
certainly ought to come. But experience under
the Connecticut law indicates that secret voting
may be had without numbering it up with proyis
Ions, such as under the bill rejected at Augusta
last winter made 1t presumable that many citI-
zens must try twice before they could get their
ballot right, and imperative that every voter
should succeed In SO doing in three times or lose
his right to vote altogether.
? What has become of the Expresses "chief
objection" which went to the very essence
of the system ITSELF? The essence OF the
Connecticut law was precisely the same as
the essence of the Maine measure and all
other measures modelled In whole or in part
on the Australian system, namely, a secret
ballot. The Expresses full conversion to the
Australian system is evidently only a ques-
tion Of time. Its chief objection to it has
already, 1t would seem, been abandoned.

Mayor Grants order commanding the re-
moVal of the dangerous electric light wires
In New York is eminentlv proper. The only
trouble with it is that it was delayed too
long. On each of two successive days last
week lineman lost his life in horrible
manner by these defective wires. But those
are by no means the only deaths that have
been caused by them. The first fatal accl-
dent occurred months ago. 1t is doubtful If
electric light wires while strung in the air can
ever be made safe. The insulation, though
1t be perfect when the wire is put up, is liza
Bile to be destroyed by storm and in many
other ways and the trouble is not likely to
be detected until some luckless lineman
seizes the wire and is suddenly shocked to
death. At the meeting Of the New York
board of electrical control the opinion was
expressed by several experts that such acct
dents as those of last week would never
wholly cease until the wires were put under
ground.

So many sensational stories about the
Cronin case have come from Chicago that
the public has come to look upon tales on
that subject with great suspicion. The
latest story to the effect that plot had been
formed to secure the acquittal Of the suspects
by bribing the jury seems. however, to rest
on better foundation than the most of
them. 1t is no doubt fact that the kind of
jury that is likely to be obtained under the
Illinois lava jury made up of ignoramuses
and obscure people-invites just such a plot
its success comparatively easy.

The Hon. Roger Q. Mills, who has as good
right to speak for the Democrats of the
next Congress as anybody, and perhaps bet
ter. inasmuch as he "bossed" the Democrats
of the last, announces that no legislation is
to be enacted by the coming Congress unless
the minority consents This is tantamount
to declaration that Hon. Roger @. Mills
and his Democratic followers are going to re-
sort to all sorts of fillibustering methods to
deprive the majority Of their undoubted
right to pass such measures as they see fit.
Mr.. Mills's declaration will, it is to be hoped,
rouse every Republican member to the i'm
portance of being present at every ses-
sion Of the House, for few vacant seats on
the Republican side will enable Mr. Mills to
execute his threat
