a QUESTION or LOCATION.

Chicago worlds Fair Directors Advocate
Some ret sites.
cHcAao. May u.
The members Of the Chicago worlds fair
directory are again at war with each other.
and IL lie evident that II the cherished plan
for holding the worlds fair ON the take
front has 10 die II viii dis hard. There are
about four members of the committee on
grounds and buildings who want
tho fair ON the lake front. Two
Of the members favor some
other location, and Chairman Cregier,
the seventh committeeman, ID inclined at
present TO remain neutral. Potter Palmer,
the big hotel man, is one OF the most
earnest advocates OF the lake front. The
Illinois Central railroad interests are for
the lake front. When that proposed 800
aexes ~ The hetten Of the laka- ana raised
10 the surface by filing in tho ground will
be- exceedingly valuable. There would be
considerable litigation TO decide upon the
final owaership Of the new land. The
Illinois Central would be one Of the liti-
Rants and IN the end doubtless tho suc-
cessful one.
Hkuys1aAnSs a Aazs smFsrs~~ak AIMS xlas-
nois Central and chairman OF the commit

has gone to New York to consult, II b.
said, with eastern stockholders OF the
road concerning the policy TO be pnr-
sued by the corporation in reference to
the lake front. Some OF the large hotel
owners want tho fair ON the lake front.
Thsy think that II IL is held anywhere
else rival institutions will spring mp
near the grounds and the down
town hotels win be thereby injured. II is
argued. on the other hand, that If hotels
are built al Jackson park or any other site
away from the central portion OF the city
they would have 10 be abandoned vhen
the fair Ii over. Bnt II they are con-
structed down town for worlds fair pur-
poses they will endeavor TO do business
after the exposition II closed aud so be-
come permanent enterprises, to the dstri-
ment of the established hotels.

Just what the Acknowledgement

REPORT OF THE ATTORNEY GENERAL.

The story of crime always pos
sesses a peculiar fascination; the
more terrible it is, or if surrounded
with strange or grotesque features,
the greater the attraction. The
ACKNOWLEDGEMENT has skillfully
seized upon this fact, and it bears
fruit and lends an added interest to
his report, taking away from the
usual dry details of statistical re-
ports. A specific account is given
of the known facts connected with
each of the homicides of the past
biennial period. Truly it makes a
sickening tale! Seventeen cases OF
murder or manslaughter, besides
the seven deaths caused by the
Robert Wilcox instruction last
July and twelve or more suicides,
makes a CHASTITY total and an
alarming number for our hitherto
orderly and quiet little community
Either some of these cases were
surrounded with very unusual diff
ficulties. or there is deficiency
with our machinery of justice, for
too many of them have gone unde.
tected and punished. The Attorney
General, however, calls attention to
the energy and ability of the Sher-
1T OF Hawaii in these matters.
Kauai continues to maintain It's
former reputation as a well-gov-
erned and well-policed Island.
The department of the Attorney
General is of necessity somewhat
meagre in variety, for, while cover
ing very important ground it is
limited in scope. The Attorney
General is the legal adviser of the
Government, the public prosecutor
and the head Of the Police. 1t
might, therefore, have been expect.
ed that the report would be con-
fined to these matters, but His Ex-
cellency has succeeded in giving
variety and interest to the topics
he has treated, some Of which con.
tain valuable suggestions. But the
report is disappointing in some re
spects, where we had the right to
expect information.
It appears that there have been
81 coroner's lnquests and loire
inquests. The latter shows Z fires
from incendiarism, without any dis,
covery Of tho incendiaries; rather
of an uncomfortable state of affairs.

Statement Of Facts.

Mr.. EDITOR: Will you kindly
grant me a space in your paper for
a statement of facts.
On the 23d August, 1889, I re-
ceived from the Bishop Gutta
Percha Co. of New York, an as
signment of contract made between
the Minister of the Interior and j.
Sherman Bartholomew, and author
isation to collect the first payment
of $4,000 on the contract for the
construction of sInter-island Sub
marine Electric Telegraph Cables, .
. which is signed by J. Sherman
. Bartholomew, and Bartholomew &
Baker by J. Sherman Bartholomew,
to the Bishop Gutta Percha Co.
with their power of attorney to
collect this amount for their &C.
count. 8
Under same date, I addressed the
Minister of the Interior, informing
him Of my having received this
power and assignment, and request
ing him to notify me, when under
the terms of the contract he would
be prepared to pay this money.
This was done by me in my pr.
vate capacity, acting for the New
York company, and before Messrs
Bartholomew Il Baker had con
tracted any debt with E. o. Hall 4
Son, and nearly five months before
the Hawaiian Pacific Cable Co. was
chartered.
/ ask this in order that certain
statements in the open letter of Mr.
Bartholomew to the Minister o
Finance may be explained and cor
| reeted. w. F. ALLEN.

A Sad Sight.


Mr.. EDITOR: The other even
ing while waiting on King street
for the street cars, group of six
young men passed me, and entered
saloon on the corner. They were
young and strong, walking along
SO freely and easily, as the young
and strong do walk. I did not
know any of them, or at least did
not recognize them, but they seemed
to me young men whose mothers
might be happy to own them for
sons. But their entry into this
drinking place was evidence that
they had begun a practice which
has only sorrow and loss at the
end. They are trifiing with their
health and strength, they are tam
pering with temptation and an
appetite which will more than
likely be their merciless master
very soon. They are putting clogs
upon their feet which will hinder
them in the race of life, and quite
probably prevent them ever reach
ing any great success. But there
was another thing apparent to me,
this that it was the saloon, in this
case at least, making the drunkard,
and not the drunkard demanding
the saloon. These six young men,
who seemed hardly more than lads,
went into saloon because it was
at hand, and a place where they
could be convivlal; if l am not
greatly mistaken, they were not
drawn by any strong appetite.
And that is what the saloon is do
ing right here in Honolulu, as it is
everywhere else - manufacturing
drunkards. Shall we let the saloon
remain to make our boys into sotsl
Shall they stand, as now On SC
many of our street corners, without
q protest-an open door leading to
ruin, disgrace and death, into which
our boys may carelessly go to be-
gin the career of the drunkardi
For one, though mine should be the
only voice to say so in this king
dom, protest against the saloor
and its right to exist. PROTEST..
