A SUBSCRIBERS VIEWS.
He Has His Say About Pending Ques.
tons in These Islands.

EDITOR STAR: An article in the
HolOmna of the 2Ist, entitled can
nexation," pounds away with great
force on various erroneous assertions
and emblazoned ef1rontry, without the
slightest effort to verify its statements.
The first is that annexation is a dead
issue.
In what manner that has come about
it might have gone on to explain, as its
readers are in no wise able to speculate
with any degree of certainty on the
developments Of the future, there hay
ing been no special action taken by the
United States Government in the mat.
ter, even Mr.. Blount's report not yet
being made public subject for discus
sion.
AS to the expression of the best
thinkers in the United States against
annexation. Is it not sufficiently known
that there are few misguided indi-
viduals who have been bought off by
the Spreckels- Nordhoff combination,
with the specific purpose Of having
them vociferate their unpatrotlc SEN
timents through the columns Of the
Herald and others of its tribe, for the
maintenance of coolie labor and its
attendant evils ? And does it not go
without saying that the liberty loving,
progressive republican citizens of the
United States, who despise royal DIES
potism, are in the majority for annexa,
ton? And is there not evidence
enough of it by every mail steamer
that touches these shores2 President
Cleveland's cautious, n-committal at.
titude, surrounded as he is by the
meshes of responsibility, seems to have
been the means OF fabricating Royal
ist straw tor the drowning enemies OF
good government to catch at.
The United States has committed nc
political crime in these Islands, and a
precedent thus made, if it did lead tc
unpleasant complications here inter
nally, would be used with moderation
The present and future generations
in Hawaii will certainly have reason tt
thank the fateS tor the destruction OF {
national independence that was fraugh
with financial ruin and hlmpered witt
the milestone of royalty, that instigato
of internal strife and pecuniary drair
on the resources Of every country 81
cursed. Better even the undesirable

months, with an Overlooking treasury

subject to repayment by the immigrant
in instalments. This repayment is
what the Japanese authorities have
been trying to do away with The
recent demand was that the immigrant
should not be forced to repay these
charges to the amount Of $I3 II per
head This was positively refused by
the planters. Yesterdays demand was
more moderate, being only for S. So,
but this was refused also after the
second conference of the committee Of
planters with the Government. The
Japanese then withdrew the demand
and agreed to come strictly on the old
terms. AS these were what they were
engaged on, the trouble was ended and
they were allowed to land at the
quarantine station this morning. 1t is
expected the work of distribution will
commence on Friday, most of the i'm
migrants being already assigned to
various plantations.

HAWAIIAN COOKERY.
A Standard Work on an Interesting and
Appetizing subject.

1t is to be presumed, Of course, that
every wel.regulated family in these
Islands owns, or intends to own, one
of the Hawaiian cook books which the
Ladies' Society Of the Central Union
Church published not long ago, and Of
which a third edition has been printed.
Outside of the purely local demand,
however, there ought to be a consider
able call for the work by our transient
visitors. Many travellers take with
them, from the countries which they
visit, a cue to the cookery which has
given them pleasure there. They like
to reproduce at home some Of the
dishes they had eaten abroad. Such
an opportunity is given by the Hawaiian
cook book, which contains the best
recipes known to Hawaiian kitchens.
II is a work which Thrum sells at a
very reasonable price and which makes
a present of lasting interest and value
to good housewives in other lands.

In the Circuit Court.

Judge Whiting has filed a decision
in the appeal case of J. J. Fernandez
VS.. J. NJ. Rapozo, heard by consent in
vacation. The Court holds that the
distrsint of plaintiffs goods and prop
erty was illegal and that the plaintiff is
entitled to replevin the goods and prop
erty taken and to damages. Concern.
ing the latter the Court sees no reason
to change the amount awarded by the
District Court aud orders judgment
entered accordingly.
Judge Cooper held short session
this morning at which the testimony OF
one witness was taken in the case OF
Dowager Queen Kapiolani VS. MANU-
Iona. The case was then postponed
till next Monday to await the arrival
of other witnesses for the defense who
are expected from Kona on Saturdays

on any other portion of Gods acre in its
descent through the course of every
law human and divine becomes entitled
to equal rights with the native and
half caste who for some reason do not
seem to take an active part in the race
of progress.
Comparisons appear ridiculous in
application to the Chinese whose in
adaptabilty to civilized customs make
them impossible as stationary element.
1t is everywhere recognized, however,
that man may reasonably do as he
likes with his own. If the average
citizen of American or European
descent did spend the greater part OF
his income abroad, it would be no
more than fair to take some portion OF
a reward that he has earned, exclusively
to himself. That, however, is not a
fact to be deplored here, as the Amer.
can specifically grows fond of the
country and spends most Of his time
and money in it,
The STAR argues that the sugar
planters here, as in the South, can get
along with free labor. The impetus
given by annexation to emigration here
from all parts of the world will be the
means Of regulating the price and
growth of labor in proportion to the
demand for same, thereby not making
dearth, which seems to be the genera
idea given the natives by the opposi
ton, whereby they would be run out
the planters having all the outstretcheC
hands they would need calling for &C
cupation. On the other side the small
farmers that the STAR advocates, who
constitute the backbone of the country
would come in as well as other develop
ments that are not less impossible here
than they have been elsewhere.
In such state Of progression shoulc
the sugar and rice industries fail, Ha
wall would not be utterly desolate.
The STAR advocates the good of the
whole. The question of there being
no moral wrong in contract labor
system of slavery, condemned by the
civilized world, which means the alb
solute decentralization of the human
beings so entrapped, which is crue
violation of the moral obligations tc
humanity by all concerned - would
stigmatize the greatest intelligence
brought to bear on the subject with {
leniency to retrogression that will no
be tolerated in the free thought of to
day. A SUBSCRIBER.

COMPANY As BALL.
1T WAS AN ENJOYABLE AT
FAIR.
Great Credit Is Due the Members Of
the Company for the Good
Time Furnished.

The ball last night given by Com.
pany A was an event to be recalled
with pleasure by the members of the
company, as well as by the invited
guests. 1t was most enjoyable affair
throughout.
The ball took place in the drill shed,
which was handsomely decorated with
flags and palms, the arrangement OF
which did great credit to the artistic
ability of those who performed the
work of decoration. AT the entrance
large space was curtained off from
the main hall with flags, forming a re-
ception room, where the guests were
met and welcomed by Captain Ziegler,
First Lieutenant Asch, Second Lieu.
tenant Smith and Sergeants Locker and
Emmeluth, who constituted the com.
mittee of arrangements. To the left
Of the reception room was the gentle
mems hat room, which answered the
purpose Of a smoking room as well
Covering the main entrance to the ball
room was the now historic flag, "Old
Glory" which bore the name, together
with the date February 1, 1898, in
large letters. The ladies' dressing room
was about midway down the hall on
the left hand side, the entrance to
which was also handsomely decorated
with palms and banana leaves.
The refreshment room where ices,
sandwiches, cake, coffee and lemonade
we're served in plenty, was in the farther
right hand corner.
The music was excellent, being fur
nished by Company AS band, with the
exception of the two dances played by
Professor Berger's band which came
voluntarily to offer its services.
There was a large attendance, and
at one time the floor was SO crowded
that dancing without collision became
in itself work of art, and while every.
one danced, none seemed to get tired
and the dancing was kept up till about
2 A. NJ.
When the last dance was had and
the guests were departing someone pro
posed three cheers for Captain Ziegler
and everyone responded vociferously
throwing in tiger by way Of showing
the general approval which is certainly
due the Captain and his company in
their capacity of entertainers.
Among those present were Minister
King. Attorney General Smith, Colone
Soper, Major Potter, Adjutant Pratt
Major Mcleod, DR.. Rodgers and man,
others. The men,of-war in the harbo
were represented by several of the off
GERS. President Dole was expected Blu
was prevented from attending by ;
slight indisposition.

SMASH-UP At WASHING TON
PLACE.
A Runaway Horse Made Things Lively
Last Night.

Shortly after 10 o'clock last night
people near Mrs. Dominis' house at
Washington Place were startled by
hearing crashing noise followed by
the running away Of horse. Investiga-
ton showed that a horse and break,
presumed to belong TO Sam Nowlein,
which was left united in the rear of the
ex-Queen's dwelling, took a notion to
leave. The horse ran around the
grounds and finally kicked himself
loose from the vehicle and made for
the gate. The animal did not wait for
the way to be cleared but went through
anyhow, and the last seen of him was
at the foot of Richards street. He
then had one shaft of the vehicle
attached to him.
AS soon as the animal broke through
six or seven of the ex-Queen's guards
in military caps and great coats were
on the spot and temporarily fixed the
broken gate 1t was so badly smashed
that it has taken a native carpenter
nearly all the morning to mend it,

BLUE JACKETS ASHORE.
STREET PARADE OF YANKEE
TARS.
Natives Thought it Meant Restoration
and Fastened to Washington
Place With Leis.

Some three hundred sailors and
marines from the Philadelphia and
Adams landed near the Kinau dock
this morning, and forming in marching
order tramped up Fort street. They
attracted much public attention from all
classes, but mostly from the natives,
many of whom struck out on keen
run for Washington Place in the de-
lirious belief that the "Queen" was tc
be restored.
Events soon proved their hopes tc
be vain, however, as the warlike party
were only ashore for an ordinary drill
but came in greater force than has been
the custom for some time past.
The battalion landed was under
command of Lieutenant Commander
Logan, Ensign Zieglemeier acting as
adjutant. The other officers were
Lieutenants Prince, Sharp, Hannum
Seabury, Ensigns Keeper, Marvel
Naval Cadet Doddrige, and Carpenter
Sheppard.
There was a platoon of artillery
under command Of Lieutenant Sea
bury, and several pioneers, commando
by carpenter Sheppard, and the marines
were in charge of Lieutenant Prince.
The corps was accompanied by thu
Philadelphla's band, and it marched
from the waterfront up Fort street It
Hotel street, thence through Richar'
street. A short drill was gone through
with, after which the corps returned t,
the boats by way of Beretania, Hote
and Fort streets.
During the time the sailors an,
marines were ashore the widest rumor
were ahoat among the natives, one t.
the effect that the men had landed t.
return the Queen to the throne, an,
another that the Admiral had only sen
the men to carry his respects t. hel
Scores of natives took leis to Washing

mon nuisance.
Most of the time of the District Court
was taken up with the continuation OF
the Perreira case this morning. Att r,
ney Kinney concluded a strong argl-
ment for the conviction of the defendant
at 1915, and Judge Robertson at once
found him guilty and sentenced him to
pay fine of $50 and costs The case
arose out of the publication of an OBJ
scene article in the Uniao which re-
fected on ]. M. Vivas. In summing
up the case, Judge Robertson said there
was no question in his mind as to the
obscenity of the article on which the
complaint was based, and the fact that
a large number Of Portuguese who had
read it testified for the defense that
they could see nothing obscene or in
decent in it showed very poor standard
of morality existing in the minds OF
the witnesses. The article as trans
lated was obscene and he should SC
