What Gresham Says.

CHICAGO, Nov. 23.-The Daily
News Washington special says !:
Gresham has attempted to absolve
himself from all responsibility of
the Administrations Hawaiian pol
icy.
In conversation with a personal
friend he stated he had nothing to
do with the framing of the policy,
which was inaugurated by "Para-
mount" Blount and which was
sought to be enforced by Minister
Willis. The secretary stated that
before he was invited to his seat in
the Cabinet Cleveland had formu-
lated his Hawaiian policy; that he
had declared the reinforcement of
the Queen was unjust and his de-
termination to re-enthrone her
that the President, without consult
ing the Secretary of State, deter
termined upon the appointment of
a special commissioner and selec-
ted Blount without the knowledge
of the Secretary of State, and in
fact the latter scarcely knew
Blount at sight at that time.
The Secretary of State said the
further instructions to Blount, also
those to Willis, were prepared at
the White House. The intimation
is made by him that he scarcely
knew at the time of Blount's de-
parture for Honolulu what his in
were, for they were not
only prepared at the White House,
but delivered by the hand of Presi-
dent Cleveland.

THE MISSES ALBU CHARM A
CROWDED HOUSE.
Their Voices of Great Range and
Beauty-Anothsr Concert to be
Given Next Week.

That the Honolulu public adj
mire and will patronize good music
was demonstrated Thursday Pm. at
the first appearance in Honolulu
of the Misses Albu. The young
ladies scored an instant success
and won the hearts of a representa-
tive Honolulu audience by their
charming voices.
The house was full, only few
seats being vacant down stairs.
The programme presented was
what is generally called "popu-
lar" one, and comprised different
songs, from classic to light. The
success of the evening was duet
by the Misses Albu-Bellini's
Hear me, Norma" It was sung
as the climax to the first part, and
the audience applauded to the
echo. Every number that the
sisters sang was encored, and each
encore was graciously and grace
fully responded to.
The first number on the pro-
gramme was a concerto by Rudi-
ger, played by the orchestra. Then
Miss Albu made her appearance,
and sang "Sing, Sweet Bird" by
GAM. She was accorded a very
fattering reception Her voice is
a clear soprano of great range. In
appearance she is tall and graceful
and has a very pleasing stage
presence. AS an encore she sang
a very pretty little song called
Wang Ylang," which Immediately
caught the house.
After flute solo by Mr.. Bar
sotti, Miss Rose Albu sung Mat
tets "Dear Heart" Her voice is
not so strong, nor of SO great Il
range, as her sisters, but has a
slightly sweeter tone. AS an en-
core, she sung Comm thro' the
rye in most charming manner.
The other numbers by the Misses
Albu were but repetitions of their
former successes. AS said before,
the great success of the evening
was Hear me, Norma" "The
song that reached my heart" sung
by Miss Albu, was splendidly rem
dered, and called for an encore,
and she gave Loves old, sweet
song"
"The Angels Serenade," by Bra
ga, with violin obligato, was ex-
quisitely sung by Miss Rose Albu,
who, as an encore, sang wonder
fully catchy song called "She
Stops to Conquer" The pro-
gramme ended with Alice Mary
Smiths duet, "Oh That We Two
were Maying."
Prof. Berger was the accompan-
list and had deal of hard work to
do, which was done in his usual
style. Selections by the orchestra
and solos on flute and cornet were
interspersed throughout the pro-
gramme.
Another concert will be given by
the Misses Albu next Thursday.

Political Suicide.

1t is not probable that President
Cleveland will 60 out of his way to
do anything fagrantly un-Ameri-
can in this or any other public
matter, for the people have just
demonstrated that they have an
eye on him. Mr.. Cleveland is too
shrewd to commit political suicide,
though party dictation. if followed
by him, would inevitably lead him
to the rash act.-Syracuse Journal

A CHANCE FOR SILVER.

There seems to be little prospect Of
silver coinage the extent Of causing
a demand from the mines. Until the
impression is removed that there is
enough silver in circulation or in pos
session of the government for all need
/ full purposes the resumption of silver
coinage is not likely to occur. This
deepens the cloud that hangs over the
silver interest. and will help to keep
closed down the mines that have sus-
pended work.
There is. however, a little CLEAN Of
sunshine in the silver horizon. Though
the white metal is not likely to be re
stored to its proper money status for
some time to come, it is probable that
there will be demand for it in other
directions.
A Herald representative who has re-
Gently returned from Denver. had some
conversation while there with the man
ager of an establishment for the man
ufacture and sale of silver goods. He
stated that in New York and through
out the east there is a growing demand
for silverware. Silver, it seems. is be-
coming the fashion Call it fad" if
you please. but the fashionable folk are
running after solid silver articles for
use and ornament, and are discarding
brass. bronze, and plated goods to sub
stitute sterling silver, for the table and
the household.
This may not become an established
custom, it may be only a craze; but
it is sure to stimulate to some extent
the silver industry and may cause a
demand for the white metal sufficient
to raise the price in the market 1t is
a return to the old fashioned ways,
when heavy silver goods formed the
family plate and were transmitted as
heirlooms to posterity It ought to be
encouraged, both on account of the
beauty that is added to household goods
and adornments by the pure white
metal and the impetus it will give to
a depressed industry
With the closing of the low grade
mines, and the increase of sales of sill
yer in the market, there will probably
come better prices for silver, even
though it does not recover its money
position by the side of gold. OF course
we understand that a mere squirt in
silver will not accomplish that. But
when the fashion is once set among
the wealthy people in the east it will
be soon followed throughout the coun-
try.
And it has real merit. In that re-
spect it is away s,head of the fads and
crazes that become temporarily all the
rage. Solid silver goods bring
to the owner real intrinsic
value. and the metal is so
capable of artistic manipulation that
lit may be, in almost innumerable
forms, made "a joy forever" This is
a little drop of comfort we desire to
put into the cup of gloom now in the
hands of the silver men.
