According to the Chinese news
papers an alarming accident almost
happened to the cash box of the I'm
perial Palace in Pekin. 1t seems
that Mr.. Hsin Chi, by some streak of
pagan good luck, or otherwise, dis
covered "that the door of the Treas
ury to the south of the Hung vi
Pavilion" had been left open with
the "padlock upon the ground. 3"
Mr.. Hsin Chi, like a faithful servant,
Immediately flew to the presence of
the Emperor and exploded his news.
Think of locking the Royal Treas
ury with paddock If the Emperor
of China has suddenly grown so
reckless, he might as well invest his
allowance in wildcat securities and
take an open risk. Or, if there
should prove to be a touch of insan-
ity coupled with his fiscal IMPROVE
dence, he might place the money in
the hands of, say, the Hawaiian
Postal Savings Bank, and let his
heirs and successors take their
chances on repeated shortages, al
ways conducted under the most skill
full manipulations.
However, it is hardly possible that
the Emperor is so crazy as to follow
this advice, as he Immediately issued
an "edlct" headed "Theft CD in the
Imperial Palace" in which he states
1t to be his royal belief that ''the
entrance to the Treasury should be
carefully guarded" The Imperial
edict does not state whether or not
the Emperor would consider the
Treasury secure under the guardian
ship of rusty paddock, but it closes
with demand to the "Comptroller
of the Imperial Household" to i'm
mediate investigately the case and "re-
port without prevarication on the real
cause of the door being OPEN"
1t all appears very funny, and very
absurd. Imagine for moment, if
possible, an Emperor demanding an
investigation after discovering the
neglect and incompetence of his
Comptroller and still retaining that
official in Officer But then, when we
come to think of it, perhaps there
was no money in the Treasury and
the Comptroller might have been let
ting the wind bang the door to at
tract the Emperor's attention and re-
mind him it was time to collect next
years taxes to meet last years ex-
penses.

TOO MUCH FOR THE EDITOR.

EDITOR Bulletin
In the Illustrated Australasan and
South American published in New
York, of November /, 1890, page
40, appears the following: "E. NJ.
Walsh, of Honolulu, who is a sugar
planter in Hawaii, says that nine
tenths of the capital in the islands
was brought there by American citi-
zens."
Can you tell me, Mr.. Editor, whe-
Their it is fact that American inter-
ests predominant over all others com
bined to such an extent as represent
ed to the New York press by Mr..
Walsh, because it seems to me that
if such is the case, the sooner we
drop the expensive farce of keeping
up mock monarchy and ask Uncle
Sam to take care of us, the better.
Hitherto, in my innocence, had
thought, however, that the consum-
nation of this blissful dream, so dear
to the American heart, was retarded
by the conflicting interests of Brit
ishers and Germans and that in this
very circumstance, mainly, lay the
safety of Hawaiian autonomy. Being,
comparatively speaking, stranger,
may l ask you kindly to enlighten
me on the subject?

Our morning contemporary states
that the doors Of the Queens Hos
pital are "wide open to the sick of
all nations among u.s." So they are
for a consideration. The fact
is 50 well known in Hawaii that the
Queens Hospital is not free, except
to native Hawaiians, that many will
be at loss for the motive of the
deliberate misrepresentation of the
matter in this mornings Advertiser.
Our contemporary says, "the insti-
tuition is supported in part by funds
($5, 900 annually from the public
treasury and in part by the tax i'm
posed on all passengers arriving from
foreign ports" Thus far, all
right but this is only part of
the truth. The weole truth as
well known here, would have been
more credtable. The Queens Hos
pital derives a revenue in fees from
all foreigners attended at that insti,
tuition. According, therefore, to the
Advertisers own figures, not to its
representation, the doors of the Hos
pital have been wide open to 213
Hawaiians and have been wide open,
for consideration, to 236 foreigners.
We make no comment for or against
this policy; there are strong argu-
ments on both sides. We only wish
to insist that the truth and nothing
but the truth be stated when our
public affairs are set in print before
the world.

A BAD AFFAIR.

1t has just come to public knowledge that
two young men have served nearly three
years in states prison for a crime of which
they were innocent. In 1888 August
Groethe, a Milwaukee street car driver,
was shot and disabled for life. A reward
of $500 was offered for the arrest and con-
viction of the would-be murderers. VIM.
Puets and Mahon Mccullough were ar.
rested because of some suspicious circum-
stances. They had both borne good char
acters, but in spite of their prOtestations of
innocence and the oaths of their relatives
that they were at home at the time OF the
shooting, they were convicted upon all al
legged confession produced by the detectives
who received the reward from the street
car company. The young men claimed that
the alleged confession was what they had
been tortured into saying. They had been
beaten, starved. hung up by the thumbs and
abused in the station until they made such
statements as the detectives demanded.
Patrick ToOhey, the actual criminal, con-
fessed to priest, and the confession was
laid before the governor who pardOned the
two young men. Mccullough died, soon
after his pardon, of consumption contracted
while in prison. Toohey has returned to Mil
waukee and made public confession i'm
plcating two other men as his pals in the
crime; and now there are some strong de.
malls being made by the detectives and
those implicated They declare that Toohey
is not only liar, but that he is crazy
man. Of course none of those concerned
in the shooting of the car driver or in the
torturing of the prisoners will ever be pun
ished by the law, but they will be conscious
that their sins have found them out and
that their fellowmen know them for what
they are. If there had been no reward Of
fered it is safe to say the two men would
never have been convicted. If, when
millionaire Smell was murdered in Chicago,
the SO, 600 reward had been offered for the
conviction of the murderer instead of for
Tascott, some one would have been hanged
tor the crime long ago.

barrassing himself financially. Mr.. Steads
article will do much toward clearing up the
public mind concerning the position of the
Prince of Wales and the status of royalty
in England. He says. of the present atti-
tude of the English people to royalty. that
when the Prince OF Wales was born, fifty
years ago, two thirds of the English speak
ing people were monarchical and one third
republican. To day they are two thirds
republican and one. third monarchical.

We frequently hear inmates assert that
they have read everything in the prison H.

they have read all those books that in their
estimation are worth reading. The soiled

large number of our readers esteem worth
reading. Let us interview the books and
hear their stories. Here are the encyclope-
dias; but it is no use speaking to them, for
