A LITTER from Captain Marston,
published elsewhere, will be read
with interest. He gives the parti-
culars of four ships with an aggre-
gate of 10000 tons burthen, build
ing ON the Clyde, which are to be
registered under the Hawaiian
flag, and engaged in the Hawaiian
merchant service. This is a good
omen for the future of this coun-
try, and shows that home and for
eign capitalists stand ready to in
vest under our flag and to stand
by our lumber, sugar and coal
trade. It shows that there is no
danger of Hawaiian commercial in
terests declining with the drop in
the price of sugar. Ten thousand
tons of steel shipping on the Clyde
stocks at one time do not indicate
any retrograde movement in our
prosperity, but on the contrary it
shows that our merchants mean to
retain the profitable carrying trade
of the country. Hurrah for the
flag of Hawail and for the owners
and builders of the new steel feet !

The citizens petition to the
Minister of the Interior unques-
tionably expresses the just COM
plant, not only of the signers but
also of nine tenths of the residents
of Honolulu. The management
has failed to maintain a tram
service such as was expected when
the franchise was asked for and
granted, and such as can reason
ably be demanded of it. To say
nothing of the condition of the
rails on Beretania street which has
been undergoing repairs for a year
past, no valid excuse can be given
of Nuuanu, Fort and AIakea
streets, where the rails have in
sections been continually in an un
lawful state and dangerous to vehi-
cles and life, and in the last named
street should be torn up. The popu-
lar protest has been made none too
soon, and it should be distinctly
understood by the tramway cor
poration that unless the abuse of
the privileges granted to it, with
out cost for right of way, be COR
rected, and the rails kept in such a
condition as shall give satisfaction
to the public, and as the charter
calls for, measures will be taken to
execute the penalty terms.

The finding of one hundred tins

The finding of one hundred tins
of opium on the premises of the
Port Surveyor most certainly has
a suspicious look about it, and
many will very naturally condemn
that officer on mere suspicion, as
was done with former occupants of
the same Office. The case, how
ever, should be thoroughly investi-
gated by the proper authorities,
and the result of the investigation,
whatever it may be, should be
made public, and justice meted to
the guilty parties. Till then, the
officer should have the benefit OF
a suspension of public opinion.

An Overdue Vessel

There seems to be but little hope for
the safety OF the schooner Pannonia. She
left Jaluit, in the Marshall group, 90
days ago for this port. AS this is so DAYS
longer than the longest trip on record
the underwriters have concluded that
she is resting at the bottom of the Paci-
&c Ocean. The Pannonia had made a
y good cruise, from a business point of
view, among the South Sea Islands, and
was returning home. She had on
board several missionaries as pas
sengers. Captain Londall was one of
the most experienced captains in the
island trade, and the only ray of hope is
that the schooner was wrecked and that
her crew and passengers are on an island
out of the track Of ships.-[S. F. Exam

us some useful things last
week; articles needed by every
one.
Do you have much trouble
carving a fowl? Some people
do because they don't know
how to 60 about it, and others
who do understand it, haven't
the right sort of knife to do it
with. Our Eastern buyer sent
us some =" Jointers F." per last
steamer that are just the thing
for the work. Stick the blade
in the fowl and it finds the
joints all right without any help
from anyone. They are in
ivory handles and can be al
most given away.
Another good thing for the
household is the family glue
pot" A handy little thing, no
trouble to anyone; just fill
the container with hot water
(the glue is already in the glue
pot) and before you can say
"Scat the preparation is
ready, and you can cement a
broken engagement or any
thing else.
We've something for gro
GERS too Cheese Boxes, nice
ones with wire cloth fine
enough to exclude anything in
the creeping line. Another
thing for either grocers or pri-
vate families. We refer to
wooden covers for hourbarrels.
Bird Cages plenty, now.
Brass or painted, cheap or ex-
penslve; you can getwhat you
want. Our brass ones are
made with a sort of false bot
tom which prevents the bird
escaping when you clean the
cage. If you are fond of your
bird this is the kind of cage
you want.
Which do you prefer, plain
glasses or those with your mi
tial engraved on them? You
can get the initial ones from
us as cheap as the plain ones
and very much handsomer.
We've imported a stove sui
table to the requirements OF
restaurant keepers or a large
family. 1t looks as though it
would be a good thing for any.
one who cooks. We prefer
the Fischer steel range but it's
a -trlfe more expensive at first
but saves enough fuel in the
long run to pay for itself.
We can show you a larger
assortment of plated ware than
ever before. The lot received
last week is made up of odd
designs and are very fair imi-
tation of the solid goods /; the
only difference is in the weight.
It's not every one who can de.
tect it.
We have wood spoons too,
for the kitchen /; they are not
an imitation of anvthinp and
their identy is not concealed
by platings of anything they
are just plain wood and espec-
tally adapted for kitchen use.
Another lot of Haviland
China has arrived and among
the choice pieces are some
exquisite Ice Cream and Salad
Sets. If you are anxious to
be Gin the swim you better
come now and make your Sc
lection. Hayiland is Just as
cheap as white ware and GER
talnly very much handsomer.

SOMEBODY TO BLAME
No Registration Lists Have Been
Furnished.
SERIOUS DIFFICULTY IN VIEW
Most Of the County Precincts will be Unable
to Hold Elections Because the Law was
Not Complied With.

The school trustees Of this county should
have applied to the clerk of the county
court some days ago for certified reRistrs-
ton lists to be used at the school elections
in their precincts tomorrow, but outside
of the city trustees only three or four APP
piled, and there is likely to be serious
d .iculty in consequence. Indeed, some
are Of the opinion that no elections can be
held in those precincts where the lists have
not been obtained. The city, fortunately,
is all right, as the board Of education on
July / instructed the county clerk to fur
nish the judges Of election of each city pre-
cinct with the lists, and this has been
done, but % out of the % other precincts
are unprovided for and it is scarcely posi-
BILE that any Of them can now obtain the
lists from the county clerk in time TO be
Of service.
A HERALD reporter hunted up Deputy
Clerk Stanton last night and asked him
how the matter stood.
"Well," replied Mr.. Stanton, 1.-THE city
Is all right, but the rest OF the county, ex-
cept four precincts, is all wrong. The law
provides that the school trustees snail
apply to the clerk of the county court for
the books q certain time before election.
They ave not done SO ana the dlmcuity Is
a serious one"
''Is there any way out of it,"
81 don't see any,"
"The elections cannot be held unless lists
are obtained.'
Every true, but don't see how they can
be obtained"
s.Then you can make no suggestion as
how the trouble can be remedied"
II would like to, but cannot think OF
any,"
The HERALD, however, on its own re-
sponsibility, will suggest simple way out
of the difficulty. The registrars OF each
precinct have been supplied with the lists,
and while the law does not contemplate
that these officers shall lend the books TO
any one, still the situation will Justify
them in letting the judges have these lists.
The latter should arrange to get them TO-
day If possible. So far as could be learned
from any source, this is the only thing that
can be done under the circumstances.
The judges of election for the city pre-
cincts are as follows: First precinct-A.
H. Parsons, William Fuller, Theodore
Lovendale Second precinct. p. Addle-
man, A. H. Kelly, w. S. Burton. Third
preciIct-W. j. Beatie, H. Pembroke,
George Lambourne. Fourth precinct-D.
L. Murdoch, A. Hanauer. K. s. Wells
Fifth precinct-J. f. Allen, j. X. Winder,
ir., G. b. JACK.
