Street Cars Again.

Mr.. EDITOR Your correspond
ent on October 9Th, stated the case
oplE partially in regard to the
smoking nuisance in the cars.
The Chinese may be excusable
by reason of ignorance, and as far
as my observation goes they stop
smoking when requested to do so.
Some other smokers leave the in
side of the car when lady passen-
ger enters. 1t is amusing to see
their hesitation at times, when they
cannot Immediately decide whether
their departure is really necessary.
1t never seems to occur to them
that their smoke is offensive to
others than elegantly dressed and
handsome ladies. Then they stand
in the front door and the passen-
gers get the full benefit of their
smoke.
The fresh smoke of a good Ha-
vana may be delightful, but it is
not delightful to be compelled to
breathe the foul smoke of various
kinds of cigars, pipes and cigar
cites, as it comes from the various
kinds of mouths, diseased lungs,
and noses Of other people. X.

About the Boat Race.

Mr.. EDITOR: In your contem-
porary's report of the boat-race the
following paragraph appears, the
same being misleading, and does
me an injustice:
Ga 4 They crawled up until
the boats were nearly even. They
kept in that position for about ten
yards, when the blues, with a good
strong pull, increased the lead and
maintained it to a few yards from
the turning point, when, by a false
turn of the coxswain, they caught
two crabs in an effort to squirt.
4 X xD
The fact of the matter is, there
was no false turn made, and the
so-called crabs " were caused by
two oarsmen who, in an excited
moment, dropped their oars and
commenced to pull before the
order was given, thus causing the
barge to veer slightly from the
straight course for home.

and not yet in business from enter
ing into competition with US.
Let the Legislature prove them
selves men by enacting a simple
law restraining those not in bust
ness from further encroachments.
Register those already in business,
for the purpose of Identification,
and allow them to continue bust
ness during their pleasure. This
course will create no hardship, and
the planter can import coolies to
his hearts content. The registra-
ton bill now before the House is
fraud and will entail useless
heavy expense Oh the country, as
well as burden individuals with
unnecessary obligations. Why not
do as the United States has con-
cluded to do?-register those Asia
tics who, as above stated, are in
business, and keep track of them
"a much easier process than regis
tering the whole nation along with
the alien horde.
From the nature of the bills now
before the House touching on the
labor question, it is plain to see
that relief for oppressed tradesmen
is further off than it was five years
ago every one of them is too cum
bersome in detail to ever become
effective means for restriction, and
when we inquire the reason for all
this circumlocution, we are told it
is necessary in order to meet the
dictum of our constitutional auto
crat-the Supreme Court. Let us
change either the Constitution, or
the Supreme Court, or both if
necessary, in order to turn the tide
of Asiatic aggression.

The A static Problem.

Mr.. EDITOR The Asiatic ques-
ton is again before the Legislature
for adjustment to the unnatural
conditions created by the "class
legislation" decision of the SUI
preme Court.
With due Difference to that aug
ust body, I claim that there is not
a single defensible ground on which
to base such glaringly inconsist-
ent proposition. The decision was
rendered under a false presump-
ton or from an improper concep-
ton of the rights of those in whom
was vested the franchise to perpet-
uate our national existence.
There is considerable grim hum
or in this decision which would
bear laughing over if the evil Ell
fects of the dictum had not knocked
all the laugh out of US, the cool
assumption of crying "class legs
iatlon" when the nation is trying
to throw off the shackles of this
AMEN monster, is in perfect accord
with the spirit which will see every
avenue of honorable employment
iof the mass of voters curtailed OF
cut OF altogether by the criminal
disregard Of consequences shown
~ Tue importation of coolies for our
chief industry"
Prompt, decisive action will save
this country from becoming ar
Aslatlc outpost. 1t is not sufficient
mat those to come hereafter
be restrained; we must have mea
sures to prevent those already here

What is the Matter with the
Bulletin Editor?

Mr.. EDITOR: I take both of the
daily papers, so that I may know
everything that is going on, and if
public questions are being dis
cussed I want to hear both sides !;
but for several months past, instead
of any discussion of public ques-
tons on their merits appearing in
the Bulletin, there has been one
continual, sickening snarl about
the ADVERTISER and its editor.
What is the matter with the editor
of the Bulletin? Has he not brains
enough to think of subjects for
editorials himself, without playing
second fiddle and reversed echo to
the other daily?
For one, l am tired of this con-
tinuous growl, growl, growl,
and personal picking on the
ADVERTISER. The general pub
lie does not care a continental
what the Bulletin THINKS aDOul
the ADVERTISER or its editor
What it wants is news and infor.
nation. The Bulletin editorials
are a stale, backwoods style o.
journalism which has been aban
doned by all papers pretending te
be conducted on civilized prin
ciples.
Won't the Bulletin man give 1T
readers a rest-a little more new:
and a little less growing; little
more argument, and little less
expression of his personal opinions
concerning the character of bust
ness rival.

The Ram in Naval Warfare.

The French ironclad LIE Hoche
has given the world an object les
son in the use of the ram. On July
Z the French squadron at Marseil-
les was exercising, and the iron
clad was crossing the roadstead at
full speed, when it struck the mail
steamer Marechal Canrobert, of
1900 tons, then coming in from
Italy, hitting her fair and full.
The shock was tremendous, and
the captain of the ironclad, fore
seeing the consequences, ordered
the steamer to be secured to his
own vessel and the passengers
transferred. The fastening hawsers
were then cut, twelve minutes after
the collision, and the steamer in
stantly sank, the blow having cut
her nearly in two. The ironclad
remained uninjured. No weight of
fire could have secured such rapid
ity or such completeness of destruc-
ton, nor would any strength in the
steamer have preserved her from
the consequences of the shock. It
is by ramming that the first battles
of the future will be decided, with
this consequence, among others,
that the mortality in a sea fight
will exceed all precedent. In the
old sea fights a ship rarely lost a
third of her crew, including killed
and wounded but the iron ship
which goes down under the blow of
a modern man-of-war will drown
everybody on board.-[Ex.

CHICAGO, May 3.-Henry Waterhouse,
a leading citizen of Honolulu, is at the
Palmer awaiting the arrival Of ex-Prime
Minister Thurston, who comes to Chi
cago to arrange for reproduction at
the worlds fair of the great Hawaiian
volcano Mauna Los.
Annexation of the Hawaiian islands
to the United States" hesaid, sis newt
able. If miracle should, however,
lead the United States to decline its op-
portunity, the islands will become the
property of some one else. 1t is i'm
possible for them to continue forever as
an independent nation. The reasons for
this have been frequently told. I can
only add that after forty years spent in
Honolulu, / know that these reasons are
well grounded. The natives want re-
public. The queen, however, will hold
the throne until death removes her
from it.
"The vast body of American residents
are anxious for annexation, no matter
what its opponents may say. The United
States is nearer to us than any other
country, and her interests in the islands
is greater than that Of any other, if she
refuses us merely because annexation
would necessitate expenditures for forti
fcations, when in reality these fortifca.
tions on the Pacific are just what she
needs, why we must look to England
France or Germany"
