NOT ULEVELAND's WORDS.

The New York World editorially
exonerates Ex-president Cleveland
from the coarse and intemperate
language attributed him in recent
alleged interview in that paper. Con-
sidering the personal abuse and
persistent and wanton persecution
he has undergone at the hands OF
the editor of the Sun, it would have
been no great marvel for a man less
noble and conservative than Mr..
Cleveland to have lost patience and
temper. Even after the World has
confessed that it did not correctly
quote Mr.. Cleveland, this vindictive
editor persists in making it pre-
text for assailing the e1-president.
Those republican organs which have
been so industrously circulating
this alleged interview and Dana's
vulgar reply have not as yet publish
ed the Worlds vindication, which is
as follows:
"The interview with ex-President
Grover Cleveland, published in the
World of Thursday last, has excited
considerable comment in the press
throughout the country. Newspa-
pers friendly to Mr.. Cleveland have
generally regarded it as natural
and justifable outbreak of indigna-
ton after six of seven years of gross
personal abuse by malignant ene-
my. Others, who are political op-
ponents of the ex-president, have
spoken of it as undignifed and un-
becoming a man in his position.
Many have remarked the vehemence
of some of the expressions and
have doubted the correctness of the
report. After thorough investiga-
tion we are satisfied that all MIR.
Cleveland said for publication of a
personal character was contained in
first fourteen lines of the remarks
attributed to him, and that he did
not use the coarse and intemperate
personal expressions attributed to
him in a subsequent portion of the
interview. The friends of Cleveland
will scarcely need this assurance, as
they we'll know such language is
foreign to his temperament and his
custom and will readily credit this
explanation in view of the fact that
the dignifed yet modest manner in
which he has borne himself on all
occasion SINCE his retirement from
the presidency has won public ad-
miration and is the best guarantee
that he is incapable of putting him
self on level with his assailant."

When the democratic treasurer
of Missouri appropriated $4,000
he was the proper subject of scorn in
congress, but the Philadelphia Press
finds it very indecent to ''attack
Mr.. Quay" who,as treasurer of Penn
sylvania, is charged with having sto
len quarter of "a million. Accord
ing to the Press, to reprove a dem
ocratic embezzler is a high public
duty, and to reprove republican
embezzler is "a vulgar ti-rade. "
This is very fine distinction.-K.

The loveliest trait in woman is a
modest and retiring disposition, but
whel she becomes strong minded
and bossy, she soon sinks to the
level of common sco1d. Nobody

tempt on her part to assume the
role Of man, is sure to destroy her
womanly charms. No matter how
unattractive her face and form may
be, il her ways are pleasant and her
voice soft and low, she will have
plenty of friends Good manners
are indispensable to woman, and any
breach of the rules of society will
call forth derogratory remarks
against her where a man would pass
along unnoticed.-Ex.

Congress did a wise and very hu
name act last week when it passed
the resolution appropriating $780,
900 for the relief Of the people OF
the flooded districts of the Missis-
sippi. This, of course, is a very
small amount, but it will be suf-
ficient to sustain $4,000 two weeks,
one ration per day. or until the
Louisiana legislature meets. The
waters of the Mississippi are higher
than for 25 years and much suffer-
ing by people and stock is reported.

CALIFORNIA EARTHQUAKE.
4 Dozen Distinc; Shocks Felt OH the
Coast.

San Francisco, Cal, April 24,-
One of the most severe shocks of
earthquake experienced here for a
long time was felt in this city and
neighborhood a little after $50
o'clock this morning. The buildings
were shaken perceptibly and per-
sons aroused from their slumber.
Plasterlng fell from the wall in
places. The shock was very sharp
and the earthquake general. In this
city no serious damage was done.
The walls of few houses, including
the United States Appraisers build
ing, in which the federal courts are
held, were cracked and there was
considerable alarm felt by persons
who were aroused from sleep.
The most serious damage is re-
ported from Pajaro, where the rail-
road bridge was thrown two feet
out of line and tie approaches of it
damaged. Gas mains were disjoint-
ed at Gilroy and many chimneys
were thrown down IN the neighbor-
hood of Watsonville.
In some localities as many as a
dozen distinct shocks were felt.
A dispatch from Mayfeld says
that the shock was very severe there.
The railroad bridge was rendered
impossible as the piers, so feet high,
settled few inches and the rails
spread about foot. The ground
in places settled 6 to II inches.
Railroad travel will be delayed a few
hours.

Gus feature of the discussion on the
police, was q movement which was
supported BY almost all the native
members, TO appropriate the pay of
every policeman and constable
separately; the object of this eN-
traordlnary plan being to prevent
supposed favoritiSm. The Attor-
ney-General entered spirited pro-
test against this legislative attempt
to run his department for him, and
he killed the scheme as a matter of
course. 1t may be observed in this
connection that if the Minister of
the Interior would take a leaf out
of the Attorney-Generals book, the
public would entertain 3 more ex-
allied idea of his official usefulness.
A more than Christian meekness
and submission in the face of legis-
lative usurpation, are not the vir-
tues which the country values in a
Cabinet Minister.

A PILE PROTECTOR.

From the San Francisco =. Daily
Report of August 6 We CLIP the
following item:
The chief feature of the pro-
ceedings of the Harbor Commits
sioners meeting yesterday was the
award of a contract for protecting
the piles TO be used il the new
Lombard-street wharf. The con-
tract was finally awarded to the
Paraffine Paint Company, whose
process has been used on various
wharves along the city front ex-
tending over period of nearly
five years, and in no case has this
process failed to afford a perfect
protection to piles against the in
roads of the destructive teredo.
At the proceedings of the Com
mission it was shown that the pro-
cess of the Parafine Paint CON-
pany has been successfully en-
ployed by the S. F. 4 n. P. r. r.,
the superintendent, Mr.. Whiting, !
having given a certificate explain
ing the satisfactory results obtained
at Tiburon, where the teredo has
given the greatest trouble. The
process of the Paraffine Paint Com
pany, known as the P. d B. process,
was recommended also by the Seat
tie, Lake Shore & Eastern r.. R.,
Pacific Gas Improvement Company,
Seattle Coal and Iron Company,
American Bridge and Building
Company and many others"
As the teredo is very prevalent
in Hawaiian waters this covering
would seem to be just what is
needed. Messrs. w. G. Irwin 4 Co.
Limited are the sole agents for the
Paraffine Paint Company in the
islands, and can give full informa-
ton on the subject. We call atten-
ton to their advertisement in an
1ther column.

Mr.. EDITOR: Once in a while, a
friend sends me batch of Homo

try. Now, I'm a Yankee, right
from the old " nutmeg State" and
when l hear them fellows that runs
the papers in Honolulu, cussing
and damning me and my country,
I'd just like to take up a koa cudgel
and go for them.
There's the Bulletin that's run
by pack of Eng:ishmen, and the
Elele by an freshman, and Leo
Lahui by another Irishman, and
they're all the time cussing Ameri-
cans under the name of mission
aries in every paper, and trying
to make the kanakas believe that
we want to steal the country and
make slaves of them. Just only
one of my ranchmen
showed me some of Bush's papers,
where the Americans are black
guarded under the term of " mis-
slonaries. which all the kanakas

Sugar Notes.

dated the 18th, in defining the atti-

says: "The Senate, in passing on

time the Sugar Trust comes in sight.

A CURIOUS POSTAL REPORT.

The Post-Office Committee, whose
soul and leading spirit is Rep. Mar
ques, made another attack upon the
Postmaster General on Friday
morning, in the shape of pretend
ed report. This suggestions report
is of interminable length, and con-
tains vast number of specifications
as to the way in which the commit
tee propose to do the work of the
Post-Ofice. Clearly the next best
thing to being Postmaster General
yourself is to be chairman of a
committee which claims to be post
master. The honors are easy"
The postmaster draws the salary,
but the committee do the work.
This is not as it should be. The
emoluments of the office, as every
fair minded man will see, ought to
follow the work and responsibility.
We therefore humbly recommend
the introduction of resolution re-
quiring the payment of the salary
of the Postmaster General to the
chairman of the committee appoint
ed to run the Post-Office. This NAV
seem to be strange proposition,
but it would only be according to
firmly established precedent, as the
House for some time has been try
ng to do the executive business by
way of resolution.
The report referred TO contains
among other curiosites an investi-
cation of the friction alleged to ex-
st between the Postmaster-General |
md his subordinates. The com
nittee, after y private examination

The Bulletin published on Fri
day evening three sensational col
umns devoted to the supposed say
Ings of Admiral Brown to a cor
respondent of the Examiner, and to
the comments of the Bulletin cor
respondent upon them. The full
text of the interviews variously at
tributed to Admiral Browns
tends simply to confirm the view
expressed recently in our col
umns. 1t is not likely that the
things reported were ever said.
The interview sounds much like
the extraordinary utterances so
often attributed to our own staid
and worthy citizens, when they
fall into the hands of a lively San
Francisco correspondent, whose
sole object is to tickle the faded
palates of his readers with a new
sensation.
Even if Admiral Brown had said
just what the Examiner puts into
his mouth, it would simply show
that he believed Bush and Wilcox
would try to do what they have
the hardihood openly to say they
will.

The morning after Rep. R. ".
Wileoxs infammatory remarks in
the House, he asked the Attorney
General why there had been an
extra supply of police at the Sta
ton during the mass meeting the
evening before. As it happened
this gathering of police had nothing
20 do with the mass meeting, but it
would not have been out of the
way for the Minister TO suggest
that the Marshal had taken the
hon. members threats of slaughter
and pillage seriously. 1t is very
clear that Rep. Wilcox is heartily
grleved at the notion that any one
could think he meant what he said.

INCENDIARY TALK.

Rep. r. W. Wilcox is on the war
path. He is not merely anxious to
knock off the heads of his opponents
and slap their mouths. That is a
merely preliminary punishment for
the expression of sentiments which
he does not approve. If his oppo-
nents go further, and vote against
his measures, he is going to blow
up buildings, kill, make the streets
of Honolulu sticky with blood. All
this, he told the House, Tuesday,
would come to pass if the Hawaii
ans did not get their rights, and
the President and the House calmly
listened to him, without any pro-
test at all.
We do not know whether this
kind of talk is parliamentary or
not. 1t is about what one imagines
would take place among Italian
brigands among whom perhaps
Rep. Wilcox received his education)
or Mediterranean pirates. Very
likely such arguments were some
times heard among Spanish Carlists,
or the leaders of the French Com
mune; but we seriously doubt if a
civilized Parliamentary assembly
was ever before threatened by one
of its members with murder and
arson, if his measures were not
passed.
Rep. Bush seconded Rep. Wilcox
nobly. He denounced the mission
aries for importing fire arms; told
how they were conspiring to over
throw the government, and set up
q republic, and even related as a
sober fact that certain sons of mis-
sionaries had been trying to induce
officers of the Rifles to assist them
in overturning the Government.
He did not offer any particular veri-
tication of these charges, but wound |
up with dark hint at the coming
end of the world.
The game which Bush and VIII |
cox are playing is perfectly |
obvious. 1t consists in an at
tempt to play upon the passions of
the Hawaiians, and the fears, of
the foreigners. The first may sue
coed, but the second we believe
will utterly fail. Bismarck's scorn-
ful answer to an opponent, "The
appeal to fear never wakes an echo
in German hearts lis true of the
Germans and Anglo-Saxons of our
own Legislature. That body is not
going to be frightened INTO calling
Constitutional Convention. We
noted, with a good deal of amuse-
nent that when Rep. Wilcox had
poured the walls of his wrath upon
Noble Homer, Rep. Knudsen rose
md calmly but emphatically re-
1eated the very sentiments which
lad caused Rep. Wilcox's explo-
ion. This circumstance will be
N omen Of the success of any and
very appeal to fear.
If the independence of the coun-
~ should ever be lost. it will be ]
through the acts of Hawaiians i,
themselves. Why is it that dema- :
.ogUes like Bush and Wilcox exert '
lore influence among their own {
eople, than a wise, sensible and 5
