"The Gossoon.''

"The Gossoon."
Carroll Johnson opened at the Bush-street
Theater last night in his magnificent scenic
production. The Gossoon." an Irish
comedy, written expressly for him By Mr..
E. E. Kidder. The play is similar to those
that Scanlon made US familiar with, and Mr.
Johnson certainly reminds US of and COM
pares very fav0rably with that great Irish
singing comedian. The scene of Robins cabin
near the lakes Of Killarney is particularly
well set and the play throughout is attrac-
tive and Interesting. The songs are tunefuI
and catchy. and the Gossoon has a good
voice and sings well. Miss harrington
makes very charming Rose O'Connell. aud
many lad in the audience feels that he
would rather be in Clancy O'Connelps place
with the fainting Rose in his arms than in
MS seat. IL Is very pretty piece of acting.
Johnson has a good company to support
him. and the "Gossoon" should prove
good attraction during the week.

Hawaii at CHICAGO.

Mr.. EDITOR: The astounding
decision of our Legislature that the
best way to advertise the Islands is
to send the Hawaiian Band to the
Columbian Exposition, seems to be
taken quite as matter of course,
and yet not a few are, on sober
thought, puzzled to discover just
how or what it advertises. Are
perhaps the decorated members of
the band to sing of the beauties of
scenery and climate, when by an
instrumental prelude they have
gathered a handful of listeners
from the busy throng of visitors to
the great show? Or is it that be-
tween the acts they are to butt4e<
hole the bystanders 81, 80. ~

the Quays and ~ hoholuIu when
dris to sziantine is removed) and
axe:nk the Nuuanu mud and ride
in the beautiful and clean tram
cars through the healthful region
of the Chinese wash house? No
not that; but they are to advertise
that the country in its financial
trouble cannot afford to send any
thing to show what the soil can
produce or what the country is
like; it cannot even afford to fur
nish it's citizens with sufficient
water to wash in, let alone a supply
for drinking purposes; it cannot
afford to fill up u pest-hole in the
midst of its principal town, al
though its wise men well know
that, if the cholera comes, there it
will put up, making excursions
with every bundle of washing. 1t
can afford, however, poor as it is,
to show that even in it's misery it
can sing and make sweet music ;
it has nothing left but music, hence
it will show that. Did not Nero
fiddle while Rome burned? Ha-
waiian genius can make music out
of anything, out of papaya stems

Mr.. Brown and the Electric
Light Franchise.

IR. EDITOR: Mr.. Brown has
now pending before the Legislature
a bill which proposes to incorporate
him and himself for fifty years, and
to give him and himself the ex-
elusive franchise for furnishing
electric light and power for the
whole island of Oahu.
In addition to this modest re-
quest, he asks that all the Govern
ment plant be turned over to the
same firm; that all the water
power at the Government station
be given to him indefinitely for
nothing; that he be given the ex-
elusive contract of lighting the
streets for $75 light Git now costs
the Government $57 a Light, and
that the existing Electric Light
Company be turned out, neck and
crop, without any compensation
for it's plant.
There are other members of the
Legislature who tried the same
gobble act at the Legislature of
1890, and who, no doubt, would
like to have a finger in Mr.. Browns
electric pie.
For one, 1 do not want to see
Mr.. Brown in a position where he
can lobby his grab-bill through
the Legislature from the inside.
The tendency of this bill may
explain Mr.. Browns intense eager
ness to run, whether or no.
ANTI-MoNoPOLY

ease would surely declare itself be-
fore reaching this port. -Four DAYS
from Chicago 20 San Francisco
and seven days at sea exceed the
limit of time, unless indeed il be
supposed that the cholera exists
on the Pacific slope, for which I
say there Is not a shadow Of ground
for suspicion. 1t would be more
reasonable to prohibit every vessel
from China or Japan from touch
ing at our port, than to say that
the cabin passengers of the China
shall not be permitted to
land next Monday. Cholera is
always found to a greater or less
degree in the cities Of the Orient,
but no reasonable man hesitates to
go there, nor is quarantine declar-
ed against these cities.
On Monday next the China, one
of the finest steamers On the Pacific
Ocean, is due at Honolulu. At
great cost our harbor has been
made capable Of receiving this
splendid vessel, and not unnatur-
ally the event was to be celebrated
as one of national Importance.
This would be one of the best adver-
tisements for this Kingdom. Eng
land, France, Germany and all
maritime nations of the world would
learn that at last harbor could be
found in the heart of the Pacific,
where the largest vessels of war or
commerce could be safely received.
Unfortunately the cholera panic
arises. The whole scheme must be
abandoned for the shallowest pos
sible fear of contagion. This is to
my mind carrying the thing too
far.
Why not wait to hear what news
the China shall bring? If, as I ex-
pect, she shall report entire freedom
from cholera in San Francisco; if
she have a clean bill of health and
an entire absence of cholera on
board, l maintain that to quaran-
tine such a vessel would be an out
rageous piece of cowardice, con-
temptible and ridiculous, unfair to,
the vessel and her passengers and
disastrous to this country in its
present crisis.

Precautions Against the CLo1e IA.

Mr.. EDITOR: / think it safe to
say that it is admitted by every
body without exception that all
reasonable precautions should be
taken against an attack of Asiatic
cholera. Nobody could predict
what would result were it once to
gain a footing in our city. Let our
doctors by all means guard us
against any danger of so terrible a
visitation. At the same time it
does seem to me that precaution
may be carried to the point of
2owardice and absurdity. The
law ,,isregards tribes. Prudence
does not demand protection from
imaginary danger. The ques-
ton is whether we are not
