THE ELECTION RETURNS.
April, 1890.

There is a very widespread i'm.
preston among the community
that the late election developed a
large popular majority against the
present administration, and that
the only thing which interfered be-
tween it and complete extinction
was the Noble vote. The Bulletin
has harped somewhat upon this
theme, and the great success of the
effort made by the Elele and others
to antagonize the Hawaiians
against the foreign element on this
island, has predisposed the com
munity generally to suppose that a
really great majority of the voters
of the country had pronounced
against the present government.
How totally mistaken this impress
sion is, a brief examination of the
election returns suffices to show.
AS matter of fact, the popular
vote was almost equally divided
between the two parties in the
field. OF the total vote cast, over
$500 was polled by the regular
candidates of the Reform party. If
the entire remaining vote, exclu-
sive OF the scattering, is credited to
the National Reform party, it
would show majority of the total
vote for representatives If about
500. If we deduct however the
vote cast for candidates who ran
without any avowed connection
with either party. this supposed
majority OF 500 would disappear
and be replaced by considerable
minority.
Even if We regarded every vote
not directly cast for the candidate
of the Reform party as a vote for
the National reformers, the small
excess so reached would be ex.
ceeded in its turn by the excess of
the Noble vote on the side Of Re-
form. SO that on the whole it is
The Pacific commercial advertiser. [volume] (Honolulu, Hawaiian Islands) 1885-1921, 1890-04-22

clear that the Reform party re-
ceived a constitutional majority,
Chat Is such a majority as the con-
stltution provides shall rule) even
if it lacked by few votes a strict
numerical one.
On the whole it appears very
clear upon a non-partizan survey
of all the facts, that the suppose
ton that the people has condemned
the present Administration is a
totally unfounded one. The popu-
lar vote was so closely divided be-
tween the two parties that in the
present loose state of party lines,
either party might claim with a
fair degree of plausibility to have
received a majority. A thing has
happened which is no new thing
wherever popular government ex-
lists, viz: the people have been in
terrogated and have failed to give
any decided reply. The popular
voice has given forth an uncertain
sound. The people have not de-
cided definitely for one party OF
the other.
This is certainly calculated tc
surprise many of both parties. The
encouraging feature of it to mem
bers of the Reform party is that il
dis. oses forever of the notion,that
4 the Reform party had lost the
. people. This was one of the mos
triumphant contentious of the new
party. In spite of the serious
losses of the Reform party in tn
last two years-losses which w
are far from denying-the knowl
edge that it still counts a goot
half of the rank and file of tn
voters on it's side cannot fail to b.
widely encouraging.

THE PAN.AMERICAN RAILROAD.

The Pan-American Congress
seems likely to accomplish nothing
except to boom various subsidy
schemes. This is not to say that its
labors will prove entirely useless.
Some of the subsidy projects have
merit, and if carried out " ould be
effective aids toward closer rela-
tons between the various parts of
the American continent.
Of all the various suggestions
favored by the Congress, the most
captivating Is that of great trunk
railroad connecting all the Ameri-
can nations. The scheme is not as
wild as it may seem. 1t is not
nearly as wild as the construction
of the Central and Union Pacific
seemed twenty-five years ago. It is
more promising than the Siberian
railroad which the Russian Govern
ment has undertaken to finish in
five years. Its advantages would
be enormous, but it may be doubted
whether they would be exactly
such as it's projectors imagine.
Much of the work is already
done. We can 60 now by rail from
Canada to the City of Mexico, and
line from Mexico is being pushed
southwark toward the Guatemalan
frontier. This line will inevitably
be extended to strike the Mica
ragua canal, and from there to
Panama is only a step. At the
other end, all parts of Chile, the
Argentine Republic, Paraguay,
Uruguay and Southern Brazil are
being connected by u network of
rails. A road is projected to Join
this system with the capital of
Bolivia and with the Peruvian lines.
After this nothing would remain
but the gap in Ecuador and Colon
bia, and the resources of those
countries are quite sufficient to
justify the construction of a rail-
road without any regard to it's
position as part of grand trunk
line.
But supposing the Alaskan and
Patagonian Consolidated Air Line
to be in operation, what should we
gain by it? We should become
better acquainted with South
America, and should be in q better
position to ship goods by sea.
That would probably be all, and it
would be enough. It Is not likely
that we could ever send freight to
Chile or the Argentine Republic
by. rail as cheaply as by water.
Panama probably marks the limit
OF through consignments of bulky
articles from the United States, ex.
cept in the case of towns SO remote
from the coast that mule rates form
the greater part of the cost of
transportation. But with daily
mails and expresses, and the oppor-
tunity to send drummers and sam
pies at any time aud drop them off
at new places every day, we
should have an advantage over
European competitors which would
probably give us possession of the
field. Our Mexican railroads have
not only given US vast commerce
OF their own; they have increased
eur exports to Mexico by Sea. Sim
liar effects would probably follow
their extension to South America.

A Suggestion.

Mr.. EDITOR: Might I suggest to
the manager of the Tramways
Company that he put on extra cars
baseball afternoons, and thereby
increase his revenue as we'll as
oblige the public. People start for
the ball grounds as early as
O'Clock and many avail themselves
of the Beretania street line. Sup
posing two cars were put on that
line at 2, 2:3O, and $3.50 o'clock
instead of one as now, it would be 9
great convenience, and prevent IN
due crowding. CITIZEN.

Torches, Fireworks and Enthusiasm
Along the Line.
The members of the various uniformed
clubs of the Markham Brigade were on
hand promptly at the headquarters last
evening, and they lost little time in DON
ming their uniforms and getting into line
for the parade.
Promptly at 7:45 o'clock Commander
Houghton gave the signal to start.
Marching up Sixth street to K, the pro-
cession turned into the latter street and
headed for the Golden Eagle. Here Con-
gresham Morrow, in carriage, and ac-
companied by Joseph Steffens, Win. ].
Davis and Robert T. Devlin, joined in the
line. The line of march was then up Sew
enth street to j, to Second to K, TO Sixth,
and thence to the old Pavilion.
The turnout was splendid and was
watched by thousands who stood on the
sidewalk. There was plenty of enthusiasm,
too, and the distinguished guest was cheer
ed Justify throughout the line of march.
Commander Houghton and his aids
headed the line, with the Artillery Band
coming next The Cheerful Workers. in
their neat and novel uniforms, and carry
ing Chinese lanterns, came next, and acted
as special escort to Mr.. Morrow The
Cheerful Workers were out in full force,
and made splendid appearance.
The Lincoln Club tcolored) came next,
followed by the Fourth Ward Club, all
carrying blazing torches.
The Army and Navy League followed
the Fourth Warders, and looked very well.
The Hussar Band was sandwiched in
here, and dispensed national airs.
The band was followed by the Markham
Fire Brigade and handsomely decorated
hose carriage.
Then came the Resolutes. They were
out in full force, and their handsome uni
forms and faring flambeau torches called
forth much favorable comment.
The Glee Club, keeping step to fife and
drum corps music, formed the rear guard
of the procession. The club was no
doubt saved for the last because it was the
feature of the parade-it was the dessert.
The excellent marching and maneuvering
of the Glee Club was treat, and reflected
credit upon Captain Sherburn and his
assistants. The club had about all of its
members in line, and their uniforms
showed off to excellent advantage.
Nearly every man in the parade carried
good supply of fireworks with him, and
the result was that the entire line of march
was kept in one constant blaze of vari-
colored lights.

A Folsomite's Narrow Escape From a

A Folsomite's Narrow Escape From a
Highwayman.
The Folsom Telegraph gives the follow.
ing particulars of the recent attempt to rob
man near that place:
"On Sunday night Charley Mars was re.
turning home When near Saratoga Hill
he was hailed by someone who sprang
from behind a clump of trees. Charley
was riding a spirited young colt, which
SHE'D aud came pretty near throwing him
from the saddle and started TO run. As
soon as the horse started to run the man in
the road fired a pistol. Charley leaned
over in the saddle and his horse increased
the distance between him and the robber
Three more shots were fired, but by thai
time he was out OF range, and having nc
desire to make the acquaintance of the man
IN the road, Charley continued his journey
to town. He intended to stop when the
man first hailed him, and was much more
anxious to be accommodating and return
after the first shot was fired. His horse
took fright at the sudden appearance Of the
man in the road, and at the succeeding pis
tol shots, and ran away-hence we are
saved the necessity ofrecording a highway

Abandoned Mining shafts that Are a
Menace TO Life.
There are a lot of old and abandoned
mining shafts about Folsom, and thsy
have caused many accidents since the
winter OF 40 and the spring Of so. On
Sunday a teamster was driving six-horse
team a short distance this side of Folsom,
and in turning ont of the road he drove
over one Of these old shafts that was hid
from view by a little brush, and two OF
his horses went into il, going down some
twenty feet to the bottom.
n has been a source of wonder to many
persons why the Road 0verseers and su-
peryisors have permitted these death-;raps;
10 remain so long endsngering the lives OF
men and teams that have to travel IN that
vicinity. There are scores Of Chin ,-l5 2
now mining in that vicinity, and il should
be the duty of some person to see that they
not leave their shafts uncovered.

him in wheeling the wagon, and afteI con-

evening in the case, and the jury rendered

ADJUSTMENTS.

Henry E. Dixey presented last evening
at the Metropolitan Theater his unique
''Seven Ages of Man." A fair-sized audi
ence was present, but not nearly so large a
one as the beauty and merit of the produc-
ton demanded. In presenting in half bur-
lesque eight beautiful stage pictures Illus
trative of Jacques celebrated soliloquy,
Mr.. Dixey struck out in a wholly new d.
rection, and proved that he is the most
original of burlesque playwrigh.s of the
time. The piece is without plot it
is simply series of beautiful pic
lures set upon the stage admirably and
aided By very handsome scenic effects and
rich costumery, that awaken lively adj
miration. The conception of such q
dramatic performance testi6es to genius
and daring OF an order that promises the
production of still greater innovations upon
the conventionality of the stage. Dixey's
company is very large-oyer fifty persons
excellently trained, and contains capable
people in plenty for every phase of the per-
Torrance. Dixey's PRESERVATION of the
babe, the school boy, the lover, the soldier,
the justice, and the decrepit octogenarian,
is the most remarkable exhibitions of
versatility we can recall. The piece
has no plet-it is strong and beauti
full tableaux, with Just enough of
action, burlesque and variety perform
ance, to bridge over the danger of monot-
ony and to give spice and vigor to the per-
Torrance. There is in the company fine
male quartet, two good contralto voices,
any number of pretty dancers and half q
dozen thoroughly good low comedians. if
we except only to the indistinctness of
speech of the principal one. There is
wealth of costumery of periods extending
over two centuries, and stage settings and
scenery of great beauty. OF his own acting
it is to be said that ii proves him q versatile
comedian, an admirable dresser and char
acter actor of superior quality. Tonight he
presents "Adonis," his earliest triumph
and by most people believed to be his best
effort. The piece is merrier one than
thet of last night, lower level of comedy
and burlesque of course, and introduces
Dixey's original variety performances,
many of which have been copied by bur-
lesque writers, but by none improved
upon. The young woman, Miss Perkins,
who acted as Chorus" last night and
walked as if she were out of ancient Greece
to interpret the tableaux, and did il so
charmingly, tonight takes the part of
Rosetta, the village maid, which she is
said to have made especially her own. The
burlesque will be gwen with the full
strength of the troupe and with new
scenery and all the original mechanical
effects.
