We were never more surprised than
to hear that MIR. FIsHER, president
OF the Riehmond Linieo -nasssnger
Railway serviceha been approached
relative to the proposition to pro-
vide separate street-cars for cclored
passengers and that it was impossi-
bic now to SO act but there was a
probability of it in the future.
We do not know whether or not
Mr.. FIsHER spoke the sentiments OF
this northern syndicate which has
succeeded in gobbling up entirely our
home enterprise or whether he spoke
for himself only, but it is enough to
say that these southern mischief
makers succeed admirably in befog-
ging the minds of some northerners
and lead them into .indiscreet utter
ances which go far to substantiate
and give color of truth to some OF
their charges against their northern
neighbors.
When this railway line was run by
Southern owners, and Southern man
agers-all Democrats, the color-line
was wiped out and no talk of resur-
recting it wac spoken of, and be it
understood that the friction between
the races was far greater than it is
now.
They realized that separate cars
would not pay, and what was worse
there more trouble on account of ii
by 90 per cent than there can posi-
bly, be now for Colored passengers
would persist in boarding any car
tsey saw fit.
The Richmond Dispatch with it's
usual display Of bourbonism in com
menting or the subject says:

carried into execution.

The debate in the United States
Senate on the Federal Election Bill
has attracted wide spread attention.
At times tragic scenes have occur
red. 1t has been conceded that this
bill embraces the fate of the Republic
can Party.
The issue is squarely drawn. Shall
steps be taken for the securing Of the
Observance of the 18th, 14th, and
18th Amendments to the Consti-
tuition or shall the government con
fess itself unable and unwilling TO
enforce it's laws. There are great
principles embraced in the issue and
on it hangs the fate of the Repub-
lies. Fancy Southern Bourbons
boldly denouncing bill as being
revolutionary although IL has for
it's object the securing OF an obser-
vance of the laws as laid down In
the Constitution ofthe United States.
And yet these same Bourbons
engrafted upon the statute books OF
their respective states measures
which are ten times worst
which are clearly unconstitutional.
Congress should pass this Federal
Election Bill. 1t owes il to the
thousands of Republicans who have
laid their lives upon the altar offree.

EDITOR BULLETIN
The CommiLtee on Commerce,
Agriculture and Manufactures Of
the present Legislature, made
report TO that body under date of
August 9th, which was published in
the daily press, in which they say
that l was party to u transaction
which they consider q "direct in
iriugement of the law" and con-
clude their report with canting
pharisaical peroration which is far
cical, especially when we consider
business pursuits OF some Of the
signers.
The committee did not investigate
the transaction at all. Ii they had,
they would have discovered that /
had been made the consignee (with-
out my previous knowledge) of q
portion OF the supplies of the Schr.
"AIton," and requested to place
the said supplies in the bonded
warehouse here, awaiting the arrival
Of the vessel, then on its way to
this port. We will suppose that on
the arrival of the supplies (alcohol)
here, that / had elevated myself to
the apex Of the high moral stand of
the above committee, and with a
spasm of virtuous indignation, re-
fused to touch pitch and be defled,
what would have been the result?
The Hawaiian Government, through
its Colector-G General, would have
virtually taken my place, the sup
plies would have been placed in
bond by the Port Surveyor TO
await claimant; on the arrival of
the vessel here the master would
have proved ownership, made the
necessary formal entries, paid
charges, and taken possession of
the goods. / claim, Mr.. Editor,
that / have not been party either
directly, or indirectly, to an infringe
ment OF any law in this transaction,
and that the committee in making
such statement are guilty of a
culpable misstatement, and show
that they have been grossly negli-
gent in their duty as investigators.

A ROYAL DINNER.

His Majesty the King entertained
Rear Admiral George Brown at din
ncr last night. The Palace was spe-
cially decorated and illuminated for
the occasion. The table decora-
lions were superb, presenting the
appearance OF a literal bower of
roses, the centre piece being an an
Choir of roses three feet III length,
shaded from deep red to white, on Il
crimson silk plush ground, Hand
some pots Of ferns were distributed
around the dining hall, with fairy
lights peeping through the foliage.
Two large silver candelabras, with
their fifty candles burning, added
to tho pretty fairy lamps distribute
ed over the table, enhanced tho gem
eral effect. The Royal Hawaiian
Band played musical selections at
intervals. The viands were all ma.
turally the best procurablc. The
wines used were of quality not
obtainuble in The local market, and
were imported specially for His Ma
iestY's use. The health of the King
was proposed by the Chamberlain,
Colonel G. w. MacfarlanG, and was
enthusiastically drunk by the con-
pany. The same gentleman, by
command of the King, proposed the
health of the Admiral, and this also
received Il hearty response. The Adj
miral in return proposed the Queen
and Royal family, TO which Governor
Dominis responded, expressing the
appreciation of the Royal fam
lily of the Nroposer's kindly express
SONS towards them, and entertained
the hope that the Admiral would no,
only have pleasant voyage, but
would shortly return. This ended
the toasts of the evening.
In addition to the royal host and
His Maiesty's special guest, Rear
Admiral Brown, the following gen
tlemen sat at the table, all of whom

EoIToR BULLETIN -

EDITOR BULLETIN -
The writer of your article On "The
Opium MIDDLE" seems very anxious
to make laughing stock of the
Judiciary Committee. Very will
ingly and eagerly he steps forward
to explain away any suspicion that
might arise in the public mind that
our committee may get on the right
track. Very sweetly he laughs over
his little $40 opium trade story.
We are not so green as your writer
would have the public think. The
money $270-not Sl70-was abund-
antly jingled and displayed to con.
vince the "innocent" opium man we
meant business, but he has occasion
now to regret, for it was not opium
buying business. All he got for his
opium was words, sweet words, the
money, well, he saw plenty OF that,
but never got one cent, he was fooled
as we'll as your writer.
regret that your paper, publish
ed by very reputable men, has at
tempted TO throw rdlcule on our
committee, and, by inference, to
shield (what may be allowed to
call) the opium ring, the power Of
which we have abundantly felt.
After the former opium committee
brought in their rather ELAINE re-
port" every one seemed to feel re-
lieved and very onui0as to let the
matter drop right there.
Your readers have not yet forgot
ten with what just wrath your
paper vehemently rohuked members
of the House for repeating "strect
talk" The "street talk" then was
against your grain, but now when
the "street talk" inclined to your
favor, why, Mr.. Editor, you I'M
hesitatingly dished it out to your
readers because, in this case, it was
against few "only kanakas" who
naturally belonged to the "mob"
and not the settle"
