How extensive is the distress from the
failure Of the Irish potato crop may be
inferred from the official statistics, which
show that the yield of the late season was
only one-third as large as that of the year
preceding.

A Democratic Duke,

The late duke of Manchester, when on
his first visit to Australia, in 1879, was
entertained by the colonists in a pr1ncely
fashion. In Queensland the weather was
intensely hot, and the duke left his party
and rode ahead in his shirt sleeves with
his coat strapped before him) and wearing
a soft felt hat. On his arrival at the bush
public house ne found crowd awaiting
him. One bushman, stepped up to him,
and said:
'Halloa, have you seen the duke? Will
he soon be here?"
The peer replied:
Il am the duke of Manchester.
The bushman surveyed his visitor,
walked around the horse, anG after a
critical inspection said before the crowd :
Your no blooming duke!" Tab

The Advantages of Conversation.
St. Nicholas.

The most agreeable way of getting in
formation is by conversation. If you talk
with well informed person, who can ex-
press clearly his ideas On any subject in
which you are interested, you ask ques-
tions, you can have explanation, you can
can go over the subject until you thorough
~ understand it and searching out in this
way. in the mind of another, thing which
you earnestly desire to know, you are more
likely to remember it, and profit by it.
This is why competent teacher is better
than any textbook. Besides, talk inspires
both the speaker and the listener-the one
bect mes more eager to know, and the
other more eager to communicate.

" WHlTEWASHED SALES"

EDITOR BULLETIN -
Some person or persons, evidently
disappointed that the sale of lots at
Pearl City last December proved to
be a grand success, started the rumor,
that the sale was whitewashed" or
bogus" that employees of the 0.
K. & l.. Co. were bidding on lots,
not with a view to purchase, but to
make outsiders pay higher price.
This may be the method Of doing
business of those who talked of
''whitewashed" sales, but the accu-
sation IS absolutely false so far as
the o. Il. x l.. Co. is concerned. 1t
is true that employees of the o. r.
4 l.. Co. did bid on land sold at
auction, resulting in sale to them
of over $4,000, every dollar of which
was paid to the treasurer of the
company, when deeds were de.
livered. Not being the fortunate
owner of lot at Waikiki, it is my
intention to take my chance with
others at auction on the 2lst Of Oct,
when l hope to buy one or more lots,
on the Peninsula of Pearl City, for
myself and family. 1t would seem a
hardship if my Identification with the
o. r. & l.. Co. should be generally
regarded as sufficient cause for being
morally and legally debarred from
the right to purchase any property
offered at public auction.
The O. r. & l.. Co. have thus far
conducted their business openly and
above board, in straight forward
manner. Government records will
show that the land sales were not
bogus. Employees will bid on lots,
if they so desire, being individually
responsible for their acts.

SURPLUS OF LITIGATION.

1t is clear that the litigation of this
kingdom has got away ahead of the
means for its disposal. Each jury
term calendar is longer than the pre-.
vious one. Some cases have decor
ated the calendar for several terms
and, Judging by the past, only re-
quire a slight excuse put forward by
an attorney to be left gathering moss
a further period. A law was passed
last session, on the recommendation
OF the Judiciary, to enable term
trials to be heard in two court rooms
simultaneously. Thus far the meas
ure has not been very effectual in
attaining its object. 1t has been
found difficult to get counsel on both
sides in large proportion Of the
cases who are disengaged from at
tendance in one room at the same
time. Perhaps a greater obstruction
to the despatch of business is the
fact that the lawyers are so often in
a state of unreadiness for the trial of
their cases at the time that would
best suit the plans of the Court. A
cOmmon-sense rule would be that the
lawyers, once they have had cases
placed on the calendar, should be
ready to have them tried at any time
directed by the Court. The Chief
Justice at the opening OF the present
term announced the holding of an
extra Court in the room upstairs. #
remains to be seen whether the ex-
pertinent will work better than be-
fore, Meanwhile, the suggestion is
ventured that the country, with its
cloud Of lawyers, has outgrown the
system Of limited jury terms, Jury
terms might now be exclusively for
jury trials and continue ill the entire
calendar of such be disposed OF.
Then banoo cases, divorce cases,
iuIy-waiyed eases, submissions on
points Of law, etc, could he heard
in the interim between Jury terms,
1t is a great wrong to the people that
they cannot have Justice dispensed
TO them without so much of the loss
and expense incident lu lhe proyerb-
ial Flaws delays There Is nothing
in which civilization has Jagged so
eonspicuously- although this eoun-

LANTERN EXHIBITION.

Our advertising columns will show
that our local amateurs, the Hawai-
ian Camera Club, have another treat
in store for the public. An "itiner-
anti lecture on Boston, from the
time of its founding to the present,
is now on its way around the world,
is at present in Honolulu, and will be

lecture is not only an able one as

the most interesting, instructive and
artistic, taken by the members of the
highly accomplished Boston Camera
Club in that city and vicinity.
The birthplace of John Adams,
the residences of Paul Revere and of
Longfellow, the Concord Bridge,
where the first blood of the American
Revolution was shed, where the "em-
battIed farmers stood and fired the
shot heard round the world" and
the historic elm tree at Cambridge,
under which Washington, in l775,
assumed command of the continental
army-are among the scenes Of his
toric interest that will be spoken of,
and thrown upon the screen; while
scenes in the business and shipping
quarters, views in the public gar
dens, the famous Commonwealth
avenue, the schools, art museums,
churches, Libraries, etc, representa-
tive of Boston in 1890, will receive
due attention. No such opportunity
for Honoluluans to visit Boston has
before, or will again be presented.

TUESDAY, OCT. 6, 1891.

A special despatch to the San
Francisco Chronicle, dated Washing
ton, September p, says "many ru-
mors are in circulation in the neigh
borhood of the State Department on
the subject of Hawaiian annexation. "
The despatch goes on to talk of rea-
sons why the United States should
watch Great Britain's movements at
present. 1t repeats the hackneyed
idea of the Importance of this group
TO any Power ambitious of ruling in
the Pacific, and again retails the tire
some story of Honolulu make regard
ing likely revolution on the islands.
1t is here that the despatch becomes
funny, as in the following sentences:
Gin the event of an uprising it is
probable that the foreign ships in the
harbor would be called upon to land
foreigners sufficient to maintain or
der. Naturally She ships of the
United States would be expected to
perform this duty rather than any
ether, though the English would well
come an opportunity TO do SO"
When it is known in Washington that
the Honolulu people have only been
kept in mind of the colors of the
British flag, during the past several
months, by seeing the Union Jack
flying over the Consulate and at the
peak of an occasional merchant YES
sci, the State Department may begin
to ask who is stufing it on Hawaiian
affairs. The most martial British
demonstration known here for a long
time has been the music from Donald
McDonald's bagpipes.

PENINSULA
OF PEARL CITY

This truly enchanting location for
suburban homes must be seen to be
appreciated; a lovely grove of alge-
roba trees covers the entire grounds,
streets 80 feet in width are laid out,
and 6-inch pipes are being laid to
conduct water from a 10-inch arte-
sian well which is pronounced by
McCandless Bros. to flow the sweet
est water of all the wells they have
bored on this island. The Railway
Co. have constructed two reservoirs
with a storage capacity of over two
million gallons, and built a fiume eX-
tending 80 miles into Waiawa Val
ley, which in years of ordinary rain
fall will supply an abundance of
pure water for large population;
to guard against such droughts as
we have experienced during the pre-
sent year, the Company have ordered
a Blake Pump with capacity of
100000 gallons per day, which will
be replaced by one or more of larger
capacity when needed. This pump
now due from the manufacturers will
be placed at once at the arteslan well
from which water will be forced into
the reservoirs, when not supplied
from the mountains.
A block containing an area of five
acres has been reserved for a Hotel,
and another beautiful lot of the same
area is also reserved for a Public
Park, which the Company propose
to make one of the most delightful
and attractive resorts to be found
anywhere.
This place has all the charms of
Waikiki, with the addition of an in
land sea seven miles long and four
miles wide, affording boating and
yachting facilities second to none in
the world.
Pearl City is situated about half
way between the extreme eastern
and western points of Pearl Harbor.
The makai end of Pearl City PENN
sula points to the entrance of the
harbor, and is destined some day
(not so remote as some peo-
pie may think to be the great
commercial emporium of the Pacific.
The Pearl City Branch of the Com
pany's line extends down the centre
of the Peninsula within say 200
feet of the shore on either side.
Del5~ Intending purchasers are in
yited by the 0. r. 4 l.. Co. to call
at my office for free tickets and
maps of Pearl City.
The Company will bind themselves
in the deed to carry purchasers,
their families and servants for
term of nine years from date of pur-
chase at cents per mile first-class,
and | cent per mile second-class.
Those who build residences on their
lots within II months from date of
purchase, will thereby secure a re-
duCtiOn from the above rate for the
whole time of say 20 percent, max
ing the fare each way 10 cents first
class, and 10 cents second-class.
This rare spot of earth Is quite
limited in area, and those who would
secure lot valuable now but des-
tined in the near future to be worth
many times its present value, will be
wise to improve their opportunity.
beS" The valuable water privileges
attaching to the land have been pur-
chased at an extra cost of several |
thousand dollars. Purchasers of lots
will therefore have the free privilege
of the fisheries.

Washington CORRESPONDENT, Nash
vile American: Since the notable
debate in the House between Conk-
ling and Blaine, back in 1866, which
originated about the official conduct
of one Fry, a provost marshal, and
which ended in Blaine's vitrioliZing
the Utica man, Mr.. Blaine himself
has occupied II conspicuous place in
our national politics. PEI haps no
speech delivered in Congress-, off
hand and in the heat of debate, eX-
GELS this assault on Conkling in the
matter of originality and biting sar-
casm. 1t will be found in the House
record, and | am tempted to copy II
bodily as subject of interest.
Goaded 10y the Over-bearing manner
of COnkliug, Mr.. Blaine attacked him
IN the following words:
al hope the gentleman from New
York will permit me to escape his
d;sdaiu. His lordly pOmpOsity, his
grandiloquent swell, his majestic
uvertOwering, his turkey -gobbler
strutling, have been so crushing to
myself aud to all members of the
House that | know it is an act of the
grossest temerity on my part to ven
ture on provoking him. But | know
who is responsible for it all. ! know
that for the past few weeks an extra
strut has SelZed the gentleman. III
is not his fault, il is the fault of
another. That gifted aud sati-iGal
man, Theodore Tilton, Of-the New
York Iudepe ndent, WAS down here
spending some weeks and writing
some letters, ia-which, among some
serious things, he put some jOcose
things, among the cruelist of which
was that the mantle of the late Win
ter Davis had fallen upon the gentle
man from New York. he (COnk- |
iing) took it as serious and has since |
-truIted more than usual. Well, the |
is great; as striking a.
to Satyr, Thersites to |
Hercules, mud to marble, dung-hIlI |
to a diamond, a singed cat to Il Bengal |
tiger! Shade of the mighty Davis,
forgive the PROCLAMATION of even that
iocOse satire!"
These were bitter words, and they
set the House in an uproar. Mr..
made no reply but never
forgot or forgave the insult. After
ward, when these remarkable men
were members of the Senate, par
tial reconciliation was brought about
between them by Senator David
