For Cashiers.

The accidental origin of what may yet
become a useful patent came under the
notice of a writer in the New York Trib-
une Jew days ago. A cashier in a
downtown restaurant had returned
from his vacation. and had on his holt
day run a thorn into the palm of his
right hanc. The wound caused him
considerable pain, to alleviate which he
put a rubber band around his hand,
which held in place moistened SPONGE
That's clever idea," remarked a
Westerner, "for moistening your fingers
when counting bills. Where do you
buy them?"
The cashier explained what the real
use of the band and sponge was.
"Do you mean to say that thing is not
patented" asked the man, and learning
that it was not. expressed his intention
OF taking out patent at once. The
cashier, however, tod the tale to a
New York man, who promptly hurried
off and had strap and buckle made, to
which is attached a cup containing a
sponge. The whole can be comfortably
carried on the hand, and in future
cashiers wishing to moisten their finger
tips have only to close the hand. The
New York man got the patent.

cient warrant for the conclusion that
licensing the opium traffic is simply
chOslng the lesser Of two evils ?
such choice is undoubtedly adj
nIs5lble and iustifiable In some
CASES. Here there Is room for honest
difference OF opinion. Divorces is
better that open disregard OF the
marriage contract. What ara iusti-
liable reasons for recognizing and
legaiizIng breach OF the marriage
contract IS mouted question. Would
licensing the opium traffic in these
islands be, on the whole. promotiye
of the public welfare The expe-
rlence OF other communities ought
to be guide to us. Such experience
Is indeed only stern-light to warn
us, not track which we must follow.
But If any fact in human history is
certain. IL IS the fact that licensing
the opium traffic is encouraging the
traffic, multiplying the evils incident
TO the sale and use of opium. not
checking them.
The proposed licensing of the
opium traffic Is such reversal OF the
established policy, so contradictory
Of previous Legislative enactments,
that these must all be carefully con-
sidered with view to repeal, IL there
Is to be any consistent working of
| the new law. Not only this, but this
new law sets aside the safeguards
against the growth OF the evil which
are inherent IN the very idea of a
/ prohibitory law. Now the possession
| of opium is prima facie evidence of
criminal otfense. But, under the new
| policy, who can portend that there
can be any security whatever guaran-
teed as to restricting the sale to Chi
nese adults only We have had re
/ Gently one years experience of an
! opium license. We all know its re-
suits. It will be safe to predict that
i this present proposed licensing OF
the opium traffic will not only dig
another depth in the grave of the
Hawaiian race, but give another i'm
petus to anticipated changes in the
present form of government.
Not to prolong this communica-
ton to an undue length, / appeal,
lastly, to the commercial interests of
the community that will be leopard
ICED by the proposed licensed opium
traffic. Ii [ am correctly informed,
the first article In every corporation
compact made by Chinese partners,
is to the effect that if any partner
uses or deals out opium, his share in
the concern is forfeited thereby, and
is to % sold ont for the benefit of
the whole company. The Chinaman
has as keen an appreciation of the
value of a dollar as any business
man in this community, and any such
custom as this among the Chinese in
these islands, stamps with the seal OF
universal Reproduction, as a bid fo1
bankruptcy, the sale or use of opium
No amount of anticipated revenue &c
the Treasury OF the kingdom can eff
set the pecuniary loss to individuals
and families whose property il
wasted, health destroyed, and indi
vidual worth turned into a common
nuisance and a national curse.

The veto power is intended for
extreme cases only, and its use for
any other purpose is both injudi-
cious and dangerous. That the
Cabinet should have made the
blunder of recommending Her
Majesty to exercise it upon so
trihing pretext is very singular.
1t comes, in part at least, of
bad legal advice. It would be
as great blunder to imagine
that most of those who voted
with the Cabinet yesterday ap-
proved of its course in this mat
ter. They did not, but preferred to
let the cause of civil liberty lam
guish, rather than take any present
risk. Such are the politics of ex-
pediency. We believe them to be
as short-sighted as they are dis
honest, and are convinced that
every man who brings moral con-
viction to bear upon matters of
state, will endorse every word ut
tered by Rep. Smith and Noble
Horner ON the subject. The ques-
ton of the veto was not d Cabinet
question, and a passage of the bill
over the veto would not have i'm
piled any want of confidence in
them. AS it stands, though there
has been of late great deal of
loud talk about principles" it APP
pears that there are very few to
support them when it comes to the
test, and the remarks of Rep. R.
w. Wilcox on this head contain
more truth than poetry.

WTTH regard to the suggestion of
Yesterdays ADVERTISER that pro-
vision be made for the general pub
lie at the Founders Day exercises,
Mr.. Oleson reminds us that the
public were invited. This is quite
true, but the fact remains that the
impression prevails generally
among the community that only
the recipients ofspecial invitations,
with their sisters, cousins, ETC., are
expected to attend. Mr.. Oleson
says the difficulty is that the pub
lie will not come. This we do not
believe. If the idea is once spread
broadcast through this city that all
classes are expected, that the day
is one for everybody, we believe
there will be no lack of hearers.

THE right of the Sovereign to
veto any bill, with the advice of the
Cabinet or without it, is not dis
puted in any quarter. It does not
follow that the frequent exercise of
this right, or that any particular
instance of its exercise, NAV not
be dangerous, contrary to the In
tent of the Constitution, and there
fore abusive. The rights of the
people under the present Constitu-
ton were wrung from unwilling
hands. That was only five years
ago. The quiet working of the
instrument has since been OBJ
structed. It would be very foolish
to ignore these facts, and act
as though the present law were
the fruit Of q peaceful development
of two hundred years. Vigilance is
necessary to secure what has boon
gained, The sovereign is indepen-
dent of the Legislature. Under
such circumstances it is obvious
that the veto power should be
sharply watched and no liberal
Cabinet should ever advise tas
application of it, except in cases %
extreme urgency. These are al
facts, which cannot be gainsaid.

THE VETO SUSTAINED.

Yesterday the House saw tit to
sustain the royal veto by the de-
cisive vote Of 30 to II. These fig
ures must seem almost incredible
to those who are not familiar with
the niceties of the present situation
To the general indeed, it may
we'll seem beyond belief that any
body Of men possessing any self
respect, either as an aggregate or
as individuals, could go stultify it
self. For the benefit of the pub
lie, therefore, word of explana-
ton may not be out of place.
Those who voted tG sustain the
veto were moved by at least four
different motives-opposition to the
bill, friendliness to the Cabinet,
friendliness to the Queen, and spite
or disappointment on account of
the last Cabinet combination. To
these may be added the motive
of the stragglers, who always
go with the crowd. The Cabinet
having advised this veto, and
being therefore directly responsible
for it, the feeling was strong that
their credit was involved, and
that it would be greatly shaken if
the veto were 0ver-ridden. The
majority Of the so-called Reform
party feel, very justly, that just
now ministerial stability is of great
Importance, and to this considera-
ton they foolishlY, unnecessarily
and inconsistently sacrificed a
principle and gave the cause of
Constitutional development an
other blow.
