A CHINESE VIEW.

EDITOR BULLETIN Il am not GER
tain that it belongs to modern ethics,
but it is an old pagan doctrine
never to condemn cause without
hearing and weighing both sides of
the question. To me it seems es-
peclally the duty of every fair
minded man TO follow this course
when the dispute arises out of race
conditions, wherein race prejudice
is likely TO hinder justice by obscur-
ing the judgment.
My people are again being made
the butt of political campaign, in
which we feel that we are being used
by politicians more as preteXt for
a political issue than the facts and
justice of orr case warrant.
Without entering into detail, ]
wish TO call attention to the fact
that we came here under invitation
made in good faith by the white
people of this country. That our
presence here violates no law Of the
land and that our past residence
here has been the admitted main
cause Of Hawaiian prosperity. At
the same time we wish it distinctly
understood that the Chinese here do
not wish or ask for unlimited immi-
grafton of their countrymen to lIa-
wall, as this would be drawback
TO us, who have done the burden of
labor, as well as TO other residents (;
but we do ask justice and fair play
for the Chinese now here.
The peculiar industrial conditions
existing here made the Chinese
necessary for the development OF
the Islands. II still remains an
open question if there is not yet a
demand for form of labor cheaper
than the white mans. In fact ex-
pertinent co far shows that the
Chinese are the only race who have
successfully filed the physical de-
ipands OF climate and the financial
demands of the two staples of the
kingdom-sugar and rice.
After these demands have been
met by my people and the financial
status Of the kingdom has been rails
ed from few hundred thousand
dollars TO millions of dollars, few
The Daily bulletin. [volume] (Honolulu [Hawaii]) 1882-1895, 1889-10-05

politicians, representing small
majority Of the people Of Ha-
wall and small portion OF the
wealth of the kingdom, wish us TO
leave the country with the small
personal rewards VIC have thus far
reaped. In other words, after we
have succeeded in developing the
resources of Hawaii iuto streams of
foreign commerce, the politicians
do not propose to allow us a finger
in such commerce, for fear we will
come into competition with the
white elements of the kingdom.
Ii is admitted that white and ma
tive laborers are failure as far as
plantation work Is concerned On
the other hand it is charged, that
by starting stores in Honolulu and
elsewhere we come into competition
with the white and native citizens.
The fact of the matter seems to be
that Chinese store-keepers only
come into competition with the
white merchants. In this competi-
tion we believe we have the backing
of the majority of the white and ma
tive middle and laboring classes, for
the reason that the Chinese mer-
chants are satisfied with reason
able profit, such as is charged in the
United States and Europe, while the
white merchants of Honolulu charge
the general public all the way from
fifty TO three hundred per cent. adj
vance for the same goods.
The politicians say nothing of
these points, because they are de-
pendent upon the white merchants
for their main support in politics.

The Ball Of the Season.
4. Honor Of Ia. and Mrg. Moore.

The party given by the young men
of Charlestown, at the Carter House
last evening, in honor of Mr.. and
Mrs. Gerard d. Moore, the newly
married couple, who have been re-
ceiving the warm congratulations of
their many friends at home and
abroad during the past week, was
the largest and one of the pref
test ever given in this city. The
grand old hostelry, presided over by
Mr.. and Mrs. I. r. Baker, the pop
ular and attentive host and hostess,
cleared of all superfuous furniture,
nicely arranged and brilliantly lighted
with many lights and Chinese Ian
terms, suspended from the balconies,
was literally turned over to the 200
young people, who had assembled
promptly at the appointed hour to
participate in the festivities. The
spirit in which all seemed to enter
into the gayety Of the hour fully at
tested the warm esteem in which the
honored parties were held. The eff
feet presented, as the eye glanced
over the throng attired in rich and
costly evening costumes, passing
through the large parlors, each en-
deavcring to be next to greet the
handsome bridal couple, who were
standing under an arch of exquisitely
arranged flowers, from which was
suspended a magnificent white mar
riage bell, was indeed a pretty and
an enhancing sight. Passing through
the long corridors the couples entered
the commodids bali room, through
which floated enchanting strains of
music rendered by Prof. Weber's or
chestra of Washington, d. G. The
floor being beautifully #axed, the
feet became inspired, and the invita-
ton to indulge in the mazes of the
waltzes was Irresistible. and when
even the late hour of A. NJ. APP
preached, many still fingered, re-
gretful that one of the most pleasant
evenings of their lives had been
spent. A sumptuous supper and de-
iightful refreshments, tastefnlly ar
ranged by Mrs. Baker, was served
at an appropriate hour. 1t is only
to be regretted that what was thought
to be ample room for the number in
vited, hardly proved sufficient, but it
is happy commentary to be able to
say that not the slightest mar to the
happiness of any occurred, and all
dispersed after the usual adieus, pro-
nouncing the affair great SUCCESS
All our neighboring cities, we were
pleased to note, were well represent
ed, and low estimate of the num-
Der present can safely be placed at
250 persons.-Democrat.

Just a Few Words About

both liquid and solid some Brewers arc rs
ulous, as many other manufacturers of food
products, and now resort to the intrpduction
for the sake of 9 few extra dollars profit, of in
gradients into the manufacture of their Brew
age that are entirely foreign 10 the same and
are most deleteriouP TO the health of the con-
suGneF. Not so however. is this with the Jos.

the times in the way Of having the finest
equipped Brewery IN the country. with all the
latest improvements in Machinery, &C., for the
handling and proper brewing of their immense
product But rs regards the ingredients of
which their Beer is made, they are decidedly
ancient, still using nothing but the best of Bar
ley Malt and the finest Bohemian Hops thus
retaining intact the only formula by which
good pure beer can be made. II you use a

The Valley Fertilizer COMPANY have

The Valley Fertilizer Company have
received an order from several large
farmers living near Lynchbdrg. Va,
for fifty tons of their Ground Bone.
They sold in 1886 one carload, in
creased the sales last year, and this
year sold for shipment to that locality
four carloads for August delivery
This was purchased direct by indi-
viduals farmers and speaks highly for
this company's standing. We find
the Valley Fertilizer Co. has the rep
utation of manufacturing the best fer
filters on the market, and we sug-
gest to our farmers to take the advice
given by Hon. j. Ran. Tucker in his
address at Morgan's Grove several
years ago: "Buy your Fertilizer from
home factories, where you know the
parties you are dealing with, and get
what you buy"

A fine stone of four carats' weight is
worth from 81, 900 to $500; but above
this weight rubies are very rare. and
would command fancy prices. Taver-
nier has given drawing OF one be-
longing to the Shah of Persia, which
weighed one hundred and seventy-five
carats; and the Kings of Burmah were
said to possess one of the size Of q

in Europe is that one which Gustavus
III. of Sweden presented to the Gar
ina upon his visit to Russia in 1777.
The ruby has been initiated in paste,
and garnets backed by a ruby foil are
often met with. Crimson spinel is
called spinel ruby, and rose-red or
pink spinel, balas ruby. This last
name is said to be derived from Bal

by the spinel. the ruby may be readily
distinguished by its superior hardness,
its specific gravity. and its crystalliza-
ton, which is hexagonal. the spinel
being octahedral. Historical stones
