HIS LONGING.
ERNEST MCGAFFEY.


I'm a-goin' back to the country; I'm sick O.
this derned old town;
IT'S reggeler fyin' Dutchman. a-whirlin'
aroun' an aroun.'
I'd as lief be locked in a prison an workin'
away in a cell:
I don't say farms is heaven. but city Is mostly
hell.
Death In the food an water, and nary soul to
care;
Death on the streets an crossin's, and death in
the cussid air;
Why. blamed II the men an women draw hard
ly quiet breath,
Fer broodin' over the city IL the black faced
angel o. death.
l want to get out In the country an Set on the
old side porch.
Long of Sunday mornin', when folks is goin'
An hear the Wagons a-creakin' along The
Filled to the backs with children-the ginooine
Sunday loads.
A-settin' there in the sunshine an smokin'
away like Turk,
An up in the furdest corner a-wafchin' the
wasps at work,
An squintin' cross to the orchard where ap-
pies IL ROlu' 10 W6eC0,
A-sizin' up the biggest an wonderin' how
they'd taste.
A-thinkin' about the winter an the girls an

You kin talk OF your life In palace. in the city
or out to sea,
But II you would like to get livin'. come out on
the farm with me. F-. f--s
An I'll make you waller in clover till you've
clean forgot the choke
Ofthe dust Of your tarnal city an Its hangin'

An I'll take you out to the pasture an show
you chunk of sky
That you need't be feared Of lookin' at fer q
cinder in your eye.
So come with me to the homestead an rest
your heart an eyes.
An git your ill o. chicken an doughnuts an

I'm dytn' to see q river as clear as q pane o.

I'm like old Nebbykudnezzer. SO turn me out

PRAISED BIZ SIR HENRY WooD.-Sir
Henry Wood and James Dredge, the Bit
ish Commissioners, who recently visited
Chicago to inform themselves concerning
the Worlds Fair have returned TO London,
and are outspoken in their praise of the
condition and prospects, Of tho Exposition.
The cable reports Sir Henry Wood as say.
ing:
From what I saw and heard, l think
the Exhibition will be success. When
I arrived in America, l was undecided as to
whether New York or Chicago was better
adapted for the Fair. Now think Chicago
is decidedly the best p ace for it. Chicago
is sure to put Q vigor and concentration of
purnose into the enterprise which were
hardly to be expected from the Empire
City. Wherever l went in the United
States found the keenest interest in the
Fair. The people of Chicago are fairly
alive with it. There was q slight tinge Of
jealousy in New York which made soma Of
her people pretend to disparage Chicago ir
the matter, but this is sure to evaporase
before long. The arrangements made at
Chicago so far are admirable. The plans
of the buildings arc good and give ample
room. There is one disadvantage. The
site for the Exposition is five or six miles
from the center of the city. This is hard
ly worth mentioning since the location is
30 beautiful and the collective facilities are
so ample. Mr.. Dredge aud myself are pre-.
pairing our report, which, may say, will
be very favorable and I do not doubt will
have the effect of making the Eugiish eec
tion success. The German Commission
or is also pleased with the aspect of affairs.

greatest kindness, and every courtesy was

The Peninsula of
Pearl City!

Ihls truly enchanting location for SUB.
urban homes must be seen to be appre-
elated; lovely grove of algeroba trees
covers the entire grounds, streets so feet
in width are laid out, and inch pipes
are beng laid TO conduct water from g
l0-inch artesian we'll which is pro-
nounced by McCandless Bros. to flow
the sweetest water of all the wells thew
have bored on this island. The Railway
| Co. have constructed two reservoirs with
q storage capacity OF over two million
| gallons, and built a fiume extending S1s
miles into Waiawa Valley, which in
years OF ordinary rainfall will supply an
abundance of pure water for a large
population; to guard against such
| droughts as We have experienced during
the present year, the Company have or
! dered Blake Pump with a capacity of
10000 gallons per day, which will be
replaced by one or more OF larger capa-
city when needed. This pump now due
from the manufacturers will be placed at
once at the artesian 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 4 Hotel, and
another beautiful lot OF the same area is
also reserved for q 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 Wal
XXI, with the addition of an inland sea
seven miles long and four miles wide,
atfordiDg boating and yachting facilities |
second to none in the world.
Pearl City is situated about halfway |
between the extreme eastern and west |
ern points Of Pearl Harbor. The makai |
end of Pearl City Peninsula points to
the entrance OF the harbor, and is destined /
some day mot SO remote as some people
may think to be the great commercial
emporium of the Pacific. The Pearl
City Branch OF the Company's line ex-
tends down the centre of the Peninsula
within say 1000 feet Of the shore on
either side.
10 Intending purchasers are in
vited by the o. r. &; L. Co. to call at my
Office for free tickets and maps of Pearl
City.
The Company viii bind themselves
in the deed to carry purchasers, their
families and servants for term of nine
years from date OF purchase at IL cents
per mile first-class, and ! cent per mile
Those who build on their
lots within II months from date of DUR
chase will thereby secure a reduction
rom the above rate, for the whole time,
of say 20 per cent, making the fare each
yav 10 cents first-class and 10 cents
second-class.
This rare spot of earth is quite limited
n area, and those who would secure q
OF valuable now but destined in the near
uture to be worth many times lis pres
mt value, will be wise to improve their
present opportunity.

Nh. EDITOR Nine weeks ago last
Friday night l arrived in Honolulu on
the ". 81. Dimond. On the voyage l
had received injuries in the shoulder and
back from the kicks OF horses, and was
taken TO the Hospital as soon as the
vessel arrived. The doctor examined
my arm, and said there was nothing
broken. He ordered ice put on the back
and shoulder, and this treatment was
kept up two weeks until the swelling
went down. y few DAYS later he ex-
amined the arm and shoulder and said
nothing was broken or out OF place.
The cords OF the arm were bruised. and
would take some time to get right. He
ordered liniment applied three times
daily, after that he tried electricity.
Sometime alter he said: Davies, you
must use that arm; you must get men
to exercise it, or you will lose the use OF
1t. This was done for a week. 1t
was very painful, and made the arm
swell again. Then the doctor said
it must be rested for while and not
used. When the swelling went down
the doctor ordered me TO 20 out and pull
on bar. Then he told me to Law the
fingers OF the well hand across the palm
OF the other and then close my hand on
the fingers. next spoke to the doctor
and said, " Doctor, there's something
wrongin my shoulder" The second time
1 told him, he said Imagined that. Last
week, Monday, called his attention to
the swelling OF the hand. He said that
was weakness, and must rest It. Last
Saturday he asked how the arm was.
and l replied the same as usual.''
Oh" he SAID, in another week

pointed to my shoulder and said OH
doctor, there's something wrong here.D
He felt OF my shoulder and it hurt, and
l said, g Doctor. that's too sore" He
said, That shoulders as good as the
other"
The same day left the hospital and |
went to another physician. He felt of |
my shoulder, and said it was badly dis. |
located. 1 was ffty-fve minutes on the
operating table under the influence OF
ether, while he and another doctor set

Now, Mr.. Editor, the hospital is a

facts, and ] think they ought to be in

THE PRICE OF a PRINCIPLE.

ks Leo OF October 9 reported meet
ing OF the seli-styled National League, a
which, We are informed, remarkable IN
animity prevailed, 50 that We nav bt
justified in supPosing that the senti.
ments there expressed by representative
men did really represent the sentiments
Of the League.
Mr. r. ". Wilcox appears TO have
been the principal speaker, and he Ger
tainly made public most Unreservedly,
indeed cynically, his political creed, past
and present, and the value Of the con-
siderations which led him 70 change
from the former 10 the latter, q change
no less indeed than IRON the standpoint
u Monarchist TO that OF Republican.
L had been a Royalist, i" he said, con
account Of having been favored by King
Kalaksua, and had been educated in
Monarchial military establishment in
Italy" In truth Mr.. Wilcox had been
educated, at the public expense, for
about the period OF seven years. Here
Is the price, and pretty stiff price too,
Tor the people 10 pay tor this gentleman's
Monafchisl preferences.
But, he says, that on returning here
be found everything under a different
regime. The King had been stripped OF
some Of his rights and privileges, and he
vas unable to do anything for him, Was
not this enough to turn any Monarchist
OF the Wilcox calibre into Republican?
The Right OF which the King had been
stripped was a wrong, If 1t be wrong for
the King TO divert an appropriation
Of the Legislature IRON a certain public
purpose to private pocket perquisite
for the advantage Of his own friends.
So, as those then in power would not
gi'e him any kind OF employment or
work, ne was worse of than any stranger
lust coming in. Why so? Does every
Just come INTO the Kingdom ex-
pect the Government TO give him work
or employment or take the consequences?
The truth is that If Mr.. Wilcox was IN
able to get work or employment It was
because Mr. Wilcox was unfit for anv.
The stranger would most probably have |
found employment, and SO saved himself |
trom the obligation OF political apostacy. |
This little episode shows the true prin-
ciples Of the Leaguers-Government |
place or opposition.
Not everyone has been so fortunate as |
TO De maintained in Sunny Italy Tor & long |
period Of years by his less favored coun-
trymen. To find a different regime es-
tablished when he returned must have |
been hitter disappointment. There
vas no army; not even a battery created
70 give him employment. There was
nothing to be done but TO abjure Mon
lrchlal principles in disgust.
Never have We seen anyone 50 accur-
ltely explain the price OF his political
eek uno disco omnes."
I
