Court. In Bankruptcy. Before Mr.. JUS
tiCe McCully.
The 29th day of April, 1899.

ceedings in Bankruptcy in the Hawaiian
Islands -

him Bankrupt accordingly.

of the said Bankrupt come in and prove
their debts before such Justice of the SUI

o'clock in the forenoon and noon OF the
said day, and elect one or more assignee or

How High-License Works.

Philadelphia papers testify to the
fact that the Brooks high license
law has worked wonders IN that city
in reducing drunkenness. All police
magistrates say there is a great fall
ling off in their work since the law
went into effect. In one sIum dis
trict where fifty prisoners were not
an unusual number on Sunday
morning, it often happens that there
arc none. Another notable differ
ence is the falling off of intemperance
among women. 1t has been charged
that extreme temperance people are
the greatest obstacles in the way of
establishing temperance among the
people of a city. They demand too
much. They want prohibition or
nothing, and they get nothing and
plenty of it, Prohibition has never
been anything but farce in the big
cities and never will be. 1t may be
enforced in small communities,
where there is public sentiment to
back it up, and there is more or less
secret drinking there, but cities
won't have it. A high-hcense rigor-
ously enforced is the only means of
curbing an evil that cannot be
eradicated in cities like New York
and Philadelphia Texas Siftings.

TRUSTS.

The Modern Combine An Ancient Chest
nut-Forbidden by an Edict Of Zeno
in 1873.
That trusts and combines are by
no means new is shown by the Can
adian Law Times, which quotes the
following edict issued by the En-
peror Zeno in 1873 A. d. to the Prae-
torial Project of Constantinople
Code ", so:
We command that no one may
presume to exercise a monopoly OF
any kind of clothing. or of fish, or OF
any other thing serving for food, or
for any other use, whatever It's ma
ture may be, either of his own au-
thority, or under a rescript Of an
Emperor already procured, or that
may hereafter be procured. or under
an imperial decree, or under a re
script signed by our majesty; nor
may any persons combine or agree
in unlawful meetings that different
kinds of merchandise may not be
sold at a less price than they have
agreed upon among themselves.
WOrkmen and contractors for build
ings, and all who practise other pro
fessiOns, and contractors for baths,
are entirely prohibited from agree
ing together that no one may com
plete d work contracted for by
another, or that a person may pre-
vent one who has contracted for a
work from finishing it; full liberty
is given to any one to finish a work
begun and abandoned by another,
without apprehension of loss, and to
! denOunce all acts OF this kind with
/ out fear and without costs. And if
any one shall presume to practise a
monopoly, let his property be FOR
feited and himself condemned to
perpetual exile. And in regard to
the principals of other professions
if they shall venture in the future tC
fix price upon their merchandise
and to bind themselves by agree
ments not to sell at lower price, let
them be condemned to pay forty
pounds of gold Your court shall
be condemned to pay fifty pounds o.
gold if it shall happen through avar
ice, negligence or any other mis-
conduct, the provisions of this salu
tary constitution for the prohibition
of monopolies and agreement:
among the different bodies of mer
chants shall not be carried int
effect.

AN OLD SONG RESTING.

Miss Mary had. that is, she owned,
i lamb OF unknown gender;
GO where she might, by day or night
That COsset would attend 'er.
When as she went to school one day
The lamb went tagging after,
Which circus did throw every kid
Into a tit OF laughter.
Kicking the cosset out Of doors,
The teacher spanked the friskers;
But the lambkin cried in the Geld outside
And the wind blew through Its
whiskers
Then all the blistered children asked:
What makes the lamb love her, sir p
My dears," said he, lit looks to me
Like a case OF vice versa"
MORAL.
Now, from this story you shall learn
That there is nary creature
That is above the power of love,
Unless it be a teacher.

THE AMERICAN GIRL.
How She Appears Through British
Spectacles.

How She Appears Through British
SpectacIes.
"W1thout doubt" says a famous
London essayist, "the America n
girl is the girl of the period. What
she may become in the future no
body can tell. At present her des-
tiny seems to be superb. She is
pretty, can talk well, does not know
what Difference or diffidence means
and enters Europe full of money.
If he but shake travelling cloak,
down our Appian roll the scudi,
said Mrs. Browning's Roman of
John Bull; it is still truer Of the
little girl whom Uncle Sam does his
best to spoil by unlimited tender
ness and innumerable checks. AS a
result of her beauty, her smartness
or her wealth-sOmetimes all com
bined-she has French mobiles, TIA
liam princes and English dukes at
her feet and can capture coronets at
her will"
A New York journalist thinks the
secret Of the success OF the young
American woman IN English society
is her facility at catching at once It's
prevailing note-equalIty. " She
knows herself as good as the best, 81
he writes, "She was not born tC
think the squire better than herself
She has been used to Difference from
others all her life-from men, that Is
From them she expects it still; but
the notion that there are men to
whom it could be due never crosses
her mind. Her social success indi-
Gates nothing less than genius
Genius is not too large a word; the
social qualities of these incOmpar-
able countrywomen of ours cannot be
summed up in any term less ample
or comprehensive. One of the direct
results of the presence of SO many
American wives in English society is
to make it livelier. This may seem
a bold thing for an American to say,
but 1 am, in fact, only quoting what
[ have heard the English themselves
say, and say often. As the word is
ambiguous [ viii use it in the good
sense only"

WHAT THE SAMOAN DISASTER MAY
DO FOR PACIFIC STEAMSHIP
LINES.

In late issue we pointed out that
the lamertable naval losses at Samoa
were Likely to promote an early open
ing and occupation Of Pearl Harbor,
by waking up the American people
to a realization of their naval neces-
stiles. Following out the subject in
another direction, we seem properly
led to anticipate strong movement
in the United States in the matter of
subsidies to steamship lines.
President Harrison's recent inau-
gural very decidedly favored sys-
tematic7 action of this sort. While
France and Germany, and especi-
ally England, have been heavily sub
sidizing their manifold steamship
lines, the policy of the United States
has been adverse to such course.
Consequently, the foreign traffic
IN American steamers has Ian

guished and declined, while that of !
England has enormously increased. I
Nearly all of Americas immense ex
port to Europe is carried in foreign
steamers. In case of war, England
can at once impress a vast fleet Of
swift and powerful merchant steam
ers for transports and even as
cruisers, many Of them being ex-
pressly built for carrying guns in
war time.
On these ships England also
nurses and educates a great body Of
seamen, engineers and able officers,
from which to recruit her naval
force in time Of war. For any large
navy, such a powerful merchant
service forms an indispensable aux
iliary and source Of supply. In this
respect, as in others, the United
States navy has fallen into serious
weakness. It is true that in her i'm
m.nse inland and coasting com
merce. America has still very con
siderable resource for manning
navy; but sea going steamers are
lacking
The new creation of a navy which
is evidently at hand, and is even now
begun, necessarily involves a very
extensive substituting Of ocean
steamship lines in order to supply
this deficiency The larger part Of
these will, of course, be on the
Atlantic. The Pacific will also re
ceive due attention. The Oceanic
and Pacific mail steamship lines will
probably soon receive such liberal
subsidies as will enable them to
compete successfully with the power
full British lines centering at Vic
toria, Hongkong and Sydney, which
are heavily subsidized by their gov
crnment. In consequence, a large
and rapid increase in mail service
by American ships may be looked for
soon. In this, these Islands must
largely profit.
A closely related and attendant
benefit must be the fastening of the
laying of Pacific telegraph cables
1t is becoming very evident that
Honolulu must be the great radiat-
ing center for such cables to the
American, Asiatic and Australasian
coasts. Both the commercial and
naval necessities of the enlarged
Pacific traffic will be greatly accom-
modated by having telegraphic com
munication from points in mid ocean
An empire like the British can, in
war time, sometimes save the entire
cost of an ocean cable by single
! telegram about the moving of fleets
or forces. Had the reported de-
struction of the Nipsic by a German
torpedo been a reality, how material
a difference might have been caused
by the existence of cable in thai
vicinity. The best efficiency of {
naval force using Pearl Harbol
would seem to necessitate telegraphic
communication.
Reasons FOR the existence of Pacific
cables are evidently growing towards
urgency. We hope to see one lai6
from San Francisco to Honolulu a
an early day, in consequence of tn,
naval needs of the United States
We may make the general observa
ton that when things have gone S,
far that two naval squadrons gathe
at mid Pacific island, it Is eviden
that this portion of the world is get
ting to be of some consequence; ant
when these ships are all wrecked
together, the attention of the power
is likely to be more closely directed
than before to this same region o
| the globe.
