"a The Hawaiian Gable.

\LRhe official report of the sound
ings for the proposed Hawaiian
cable shows that a good line has
been found between Monterey Bay
and Honolulu. 1t follows great
circle of the earth, being the short
est distance between the two
points. The cost of laying the
cable is estimated at $1,000 a mile,
or $2,520,OO0. Of course there is
no hope of getting any Govern
ment aid for such a commercial
facility from the present Demo-
cratic House. The members have
spent too much money in trading
bills with each other to have any
left for the larger and more general
public interest. 1t ought not to be
difficult to raise the amount pri-
vately. The Hawaiian Govern
ment will no doubt lend its aid.
The British Government is pick
ing up lot of small islands lying
along the route between Hawaii
and its Australian colonies. I'm.
doubtedly they are intended for
telegraph stations, as they are
good for nothing else. Unless our
people make some move shortly to
put in the first link Of the chain
between here and Honolulu there
will be a British cable landed at

community upon which it had
fastened itself, he must thank
himself for the reputation and the
unenviable notoriety which he will
achieve for himself.
As for Messrs. Williams and
Phillips, they are too long and ia
vorahly known in this city as pub
lic-spirited and law-abiding citi-
zens to warrant the belief that they
would wilfully and Intentionally
do that which they believe would
be injurious to the interests of the
community. We believe that they
have been deceived as to the true
inwardness Of the matter, and that
they have allowed their better
judgment to be blinded by the spe-
cious arguments and glittering
promises of INSCRIPTIONS schem-
ers. We are willing to give them
the benefit of the doubt, and sim
cerely hope that they will vindi-
cate the good opinions which their
many friends have of them, by
Withdrawing their names from a
scheme which can only bring dis
honor upon themselves and dis
credit upon the country.
Meanwhile the old boasts of a
sufficient number of Legislators
having already been bought, are in
the air, and it is stated that num-
Der of business men have signed q
petition in favor of the bill. We
propose to follow this matter W
and ventilate it, and if such a pc
tition is flied in the Legislature we
promise our readers full copy Of
it with every name on it, in ordel
that the community may know ex
actly how far this devilish scheme
has already extended it's corrupt
ing fangs.

Cuba.

1t is said that another move
ment for the liberation of Cuba is
on foot. There is some doubt as
to the fact, but there is not much
room for doubt as to the result of
such a movement should it actu-
ally be undertaken. 1t would fail
as all the other efforts of the same
kind that have been made before.
Spain is no longer a powerful
country, but is still too strong to
be successfully defied by party of
no larger resources than those COM
manded by the patriots of Cuba.
Besides, the fervor and extent OF
Cuban patriotism are uncertain
quantities. Most of the attempts
at revolution appear to be con-
ceived and executed by outsiders.
In the latest case the leader of the
alleged expedition is said TO be a
Pole, and always it is by an attack
from without and not from an up
rising from within that the liberia
ton of the pearl of the Antilles"
is to be effected. It is, however,
the teaching of history that sue
cessful revolutions are not accom-
plished in that way. Who would
be free themselves must strike the
blow. If the people of Cuba ever
become animated as a community
by the passion for independence
they may yet be able to shake off
the Spanish yoke, but at present
the truth probably is that a major
ity of them are content with, OF
at least resigned to, the existing
condition of affairs, and that the
talk of revolution proceeds from
very few-Phil. North American.

ALL HONOR to Rep. Bush for the
bold stand taken in his paper
against the abominable Lottery
bill which has been introduced
into the Legislature. In another
column translation is given of
the article, which stands in bold
contrast to the tinid course of the
evening Bulletin, which, while it
admits article after article lauding
.he proposed lottery, dares not
utter one word against a scheme
which is outlawed in almost every
country, and which no honest or
honorable man can countenance
without damning his reputation OF
business.

HISTORY REPEATS ITSELF.

In 1884, two foreign sharpers
named Charles Williams, of New
York, and J. S. Robertson, of San
Francisco, chartered one of our
well-known attorneys and captured
two other citizens of good standing
to join with them in scheme to
saddle a lottery upon this country.
That combination offered the
Government a bride of $4,000
for the privilege of fleeing the Ha-
waiian people and dragging the
country's good name through the
mire. They attempted to force the
bill through the Legislature with
out even printing it, and the boast
was freely banded about that
enough legislators had been cor
raled to force the measure through
the House whether or no. But the
opposition aroused throughout the
community by the bill was so in
tense that the promoters lost their
grip, and the bill was finally igno-
miniously withdrawn.
Eight years have rolled around
and the lesson of 1884 has appar-
emily been forgotten. History re-
peats itself, and once more two adj
venturers from over the water,
rejoicing under the names of D. H.
Cross, of Chicago, and w. B. Da-
venport, of st. Louis, have des-
cended upon our peaceful shores,
offering this time h~"e f $780,
600 a year as the prize q :. nations
dishonor. Again history repeats
itself, and they have cast around
for suckers to bear the brunt of the
odium which they knew was in
store. The first man whom they
decided upon to play cat to their
monkey was our esteemed fellow
citizen J. J. Williams. The reputa-
ton of Jno. Phillips for good nature
and simplicity proved his undoing,
and he likewise fell into the
snare. The breed of foreigners
which fathers gambling franchise
schemes in Hawaii nei apparently
has fondness for doctors, and, as
in 1884, doctor was corraled, so
Gilbert Foote, NJ. D., has been pla-
carded as the medical director
of this internal iniquity. We
have no particular knowledge of
DR.. Foote'S pedigree or antece-
dents; but his appearance and
reputation, so far as we know, are
those of an educated gentleman. If,
however, he continues to associate
his name with and lend his active
support to such a swindling fraud
as lottery based on the Louisiana
model, after the thorough expose
which has been made of that in
stitution's ruinous effect upon the

In presenting these credentials,
Major Wodehouse said:
"MADAM: I have the honor to
deliver letter from Her Majesty
Queen Victoria, acerediting me to
Your Majesty in the character of Her
Minister Resident.
'sI trust that in this higher capa-
city I shall continue to merit the
appreciation and good will which
Your Majesty has shown me since
Your accession to the Throne, which
were accorded to me by Your Royal
Brother, the late King Kalakaua,
and which have so much facilitated
the discharge of the important duties
confided to me.
sit is hardly necessary for me to
assure Your Majesty of the friendly
feelings entertained by my Sovereign
for this country, and of the lively
interest which Her Majesty, like
Her Royal Predecessors, has always
evinced in the welfare and indepen-
dence of the Hawaiian Kingdom"
Her Majesty was pleased in reply
to express Her congratulations to
Major Wodehouse upon his we'll
deserved promotion, after so many
years of active service in the interests
of his country, and the promotion Of
friendly feelings between Hawaii and
England. His advancement was
most gratifying to Her and to Hell
Government and was regarded as
another proof of Great Britain's unal.
terable friendship towards Her King.

Two years ago Oahu was
quarantined, in so far as plants
were concerned, on account of
the Cottony Cushion or some
other blight. The worlds
famous foliage, the shrubs and
trees Of Honolulu, were being
destroyed and a remedy was
thought to be found in the
Lady Bug" 1t was only a
thought, however, and the
powers that be in the matter
Of plants let it rest with that.
1t would be better if further
Investigations into the cause
and cure had been made so
that in the event of a recur-
renee of the trouble it could
have been stamped out.
The lack of foliage on many
handsome trees in the city
gives them the appearance Of
having been through a hard
winter and is suggestive of
frost. If the work of desola-
ton continues it will certainly
be a frost to the arder of the

he had "heard for years that
Honolulu was the most .desi-
rable spot on earth for a
civilized person to live in and
he intended to make this his

opinion to have and it would
be we'll for the old residents
who are interested in making

of ridding the country of

START PANsIEs GROWING NOW.
How Those Early spring Flowers can
he Best Propaxsted.

II is not too early to start pansies for
blossoming out doors. The seed should
be sown in window box, set in a sunny
window in a cold room, but where il does
not freeze. Pansies love cool, moist at
mosphere. The soil of the window box
should be kept rather wet till the seeds
begin to germinate. When they are wen
up, thin them out, fertilize them n little
with teaspoonful OF guano dissolved i'm
a quart OF water, and protect them from
the sun in the middle OF the day, but do
not give them any more heat. AS soon as
the ground thaws they will be all the
better for being planted out doors, il they
are protected at night.
There is no spring flower that will give
such fragrance and variety OF color as the
pansy. These "little stepmothers" as
the Germans lovingly call them, show
their full beauty and bloom only in the
moist early spring. The great velvety
blossoms diminish in size as soon AZ the
summer comes and no care will preserve
their size and beauty. They are essen
TALLY spring flower and their beds
should be refilled by June with summer
flowers, and a fresh supply OF psnsies
should be sown in the autumn or winter
for the succeeding spring.-N. Y. Tribune.

Canned Oranges.

Cut hole in the top OF each orange
large enough to allow of juice, pulp and
seeds being taken from them, then with
out breaking the orange peels boil them
in three or four waters until tender and
no longer bitter. Boil the juice and pulp
separately with half pint of water and
the juice of lemon to each pint, and one
pound of sugar. When the sugar is quite
dissolved add the oranges we'll drained,
and boil them in the syrup until they are
clear and the syrup thick. Put them in
wide-mouthed glass cans and close.
