Good specimens are quoted at 81,
but they are hard to find, and the
supply is regarded as practically
exhausted.
It is not at all improbable that
some of the rare pieces that have
been described are drifting about
in out-of-the-way places and serv-
ing the purpose of ordinary coins ;
and it may be as we'll for the read
ers of the Sunday News to keep q
sharp lookout for them. Certainly,
one would not like to think that he
had paid for a basket of eggs or OF
potatoes, or fowl, or anything OF
that kind, coin that was worth
$50 instead of fifty cents or a quar-
ter; and the only way to escape
such bitter reflections IN the future
is to study carefully the hints the
Chicago paper has given. and apply
them to every shining stranger
that seeks the temporary hospitali'

THE MATCHLEss CITY OF PARIS.

There are not half dozen steam
ships in the world which could
have successfully withstood the
test that the City of Paris has so
nobly, albeit in disabled condi-
ton, survived. With the dismem-
bered fragments of her starboard
engine flying around, punching
holes in bulkheads, broken steam
pipes and sea connections, compart-
ments flooded with water, rolling
in sea-way, with timbers and
chunks of iron constantly menacing
the safety of the bulkheads, which,
by their strength and endurance,
enabled the ship to remain afloat
with over $500 tons of water in
her up to level with the outside
sea; with a courageous engineer,
unmindful of personal danger,
calmly facing possible death in the
line of his duty; with a perfectly
cool, careful and self confident
commander, who directed the
movements of thoroughly trained
crew; 1T is no wonder that panic
was averted among the six hun
dred passengers who for four days
were successfully cared for in a
ship which remained afoat under
conditions that would have engulf-
ed almost any other ship inside Of an
hour. We are happy to be able to
record the fact that naval science
has advanced to this state of per-
lection. There is no man who has
read the account of the four days.
successful battle against the ever
increasing weight of water in the
hold of the City of Paris, and not
felt that the success was due to the
fact that the very best material and
superior workmanship in the con-
struction of the ship were what had
sustained her. The performances
OF the City of Paris are such as
will inspire confidence in the trav-
cling public, and will tend to con-
vince them that immunity from all
the dangers Of the sea is the de.

ton of these great floating palaces
and fortresses, and, as has been de-

Whether the cable is rotten or
not, we do not profess to know.
There is no electrical expert at
present attached to the staff of the

feel SO anxious about the subsidy
as the Elele. We find vast deal
Of consolation in the reflection that
the subsidy has not been paid, but
is all safe in the Government
Treasury, and that there it is like
ly to stay until good, satisfactory
cable has been properly laid and
duly accepted by the authorities.
1t is asking little too much to
make the Government responsible
for the conduct of private parties.
The Cabinet is not laying the cable.

About Labor.

Mr.. EDITOR: 1 see by your
paper that there is certain class
of people on these islands who
favor cheap Italian labor for plan
tation work. I doubt very much
if it would be right to fill these
beautiful islands with a class of
people that we may hereafter have
to begin and school them. ANY
one knows that low ignorant peo-
pie won't stop here after their time
is up. What we want on these
islands is an English speaking PEG.
pie, so that 1t will be better for all
parties. English speaking laborers
weuld buy papers and books, and
that means more trade for the
printers. Not only that. seventy
five per cent would stay here when
their time was up. An ignorant
class of laborers would not do that.
If the planters would build some
thing like decent shanties and al
low each workman to have a quar-
ter or half of an acre of land con-
venient to his house, with water
rights, 1 am bound to say that if
they would fulfill that, there would
be no fear of getting four or five
hundred English laborers for about
$40 per month, and they could do
double the work of a Jap. OF
course four Or five hundred seems
a small number, but that is enough
for a start. If they suited, then
the planters could get all they
wanted. But on the other hand,
the white man does not like to
work alongside of Japanese and
Chinese. l say this if a plantation
wanted one or two hundred white
men to work where there is no Jap
or John. The white labor would
be credit to the plantation. It
seems to suit some owners of plan
tations and their pockets to import
cheap labor here, detrimental to
the majority of the people, and
they huddle the laborers together
in small shanties, while with bet
ter class of laborers. it means bet
ter homes, but that means more
money to them which they don't
like. It would though be the
cheapest step in the end.

THE BASEBALL SCHEME.

The plan now on foot to organ
ize our baseball interests here in
the form of a joint stock company,
is an excellent one, and lovers of
the game will rejoice that there is
every prospect that the scheme will
be speedily carried into execution.
Such an arrangement will be an
effectual guarantee that the sport
will be kept up permanently and
not die out after a period of spas
modic activity, as has always been
the case hitherto. 1t is proposed
to secure the large unoccupied
tract lying Immediately east of the
present grounds, and fit them up
commodiously, SO that the public
will be better accommodated than
at present. A board fence will be
erected and q small entrance fee
charged. None will grudge this,
and it will really be necessary if an
efficient league is to be maintained.
One great advantage of the pro-
posed arrangement will be that it
will be possible to secure games
with American professional teams.
We have amateur talent enough
here to furnish plenty of work to
any professional nine likely to
come.
All that will be wanted in addi-
ton, to make Honolulu q little
baseball heaven, is the Sunday
legislation for which Mr.. Nc

The Pacific commercial advertiser. [volume] (Honolulu, Hawaiian Islands) 1885-1921, 1890-04-29

If the baseball league cease to
use the present grounds let them
be turned into park. It would be
thousand pities if the piece should
be cut up into house lots. Homo
lulu is not very plentifully supplied
with public resorts of the kind and
the conversion Of the ball grounds
to that purpose will be cheap and
easy. We commend the suggestion
to the attention of the law makers.

Judge Horton, of the Circuit
Court of Cook County, ILL.,, holds
that the court has the right person
ally to examine those who are
summoned as jurors, and to refuse
to allow the counsel for the defense
and the States attorney to question
them; and that this discretion, so
long as 1t is not abused, will not be
ground for error in a reviewing
court. This ruling shuts off a great
amount OF nonsense practiced by
lawyers in the examination of
jurors.

Chips Are VI

A st. Louis Police Judge, who is a
terror to evil-doers. says the Globe. Dem.
ocrat, one day had a gambler ON trial
before him. The prisoner denied having
played for money. but said chips were
used. The Judge fined him $40, how
ever, saying that "chips were money.
After the docket had been disposed Of
the Judge was approached by the poker
player, who wanted to know if the Judge
still thought that chips were money. On
receiving an answer IN the affirmative,
he said: "Well, l suppose / will have
to pay my 6ne." Coolly counting out
ten chips, he laid them on the magis.
trate's desk, and before the Judge had
time to recover his equilibrium he had
disappeared. The fine was afterward re.
mitted by the Judge, but the "ohips I"
are still in his possession as a reminder
Of his ruling that chips were money.

duced to come into your mine if you
