To day. is the eighteenth ami
versary OF H r. H Princess
Victoria Ksialani. Sad are the
thoughts with which the loyal
Hawaiians to-dsy remember their

land. The sore trials which have
fallen on the heads of her royal
amt. her beloved father and her
faithful people. have made this
day which should have been one
OF universal Joy and public cele-
bration silent and still But
when the Hawaiians hail the
young Princess with their earnest
prayers for her welfare, and their
best wishes for many and happy
returns of the day, ii is with the
firm hope in their hearts, that on
the next 10th of October, the
Princess will be in her own conn
try, surrounded by her august
relations and kind friends. in her
proper position, and that Hawaii |
will be free once more May |

TOPICS OF THE DAY.

His Excellency L. A. Thurs
ton Minister etc. to Washington
is now spending his time (for
which the Hawaiian Taxpayers
pay HIM in promoting a new
tock-company to be called the
Hawaiian Exhibition Company.
The object of the company is
to prepare Hawaiian exhibit
at the coming FAR in California
and thereby help to boom the
Cyclorama Company which is
to be shifted from Chicago to
San Francisco. 1t is proposed
that the stock-capital of the
new company lie fifty thousaod
dollars. Shares will be issued
TO the amount Of twenty five
thousand dollars for cash to
admiring and confident specula-
tors in dime museums and
Thurston. while the balance will
be kept by the promoters. An
elaborate programme has been ar
ranged which looks extremely we'll

expenditures and receipts show
that there win be clean gain of

very little to exhibit which viii

exposition There Is no longer
any original features in Hawaii.
or In the mode of living OF the
Havaiians- To see some lei
bedecked natives eating poi, may
attract some curiosity, but we
doubt that it will be of sufficient
interest TO make it a great
draw" The Hawaiians live
very much like other people now
days. The grass huts have
disappeared and the usual neat
cottages of the forming classes
in other tropical countries have
taken their places. Mr.. Thurs
ton is well aware that any at
tempt to present the Hawaiians
as semi barbarians and as half
civilized nation is a fraud
which will be recognized and
commented on by the thousands
of Californians who have visited
these islands.

THE ADVERTISER AND
THE SURPLUS.

The Advertiser now admits
when it cannot any longer lie
out of it-that the debt owing

it is funny how that paper will
preyaricate or misrepresent facts

million dollars. 1t further SAYS.
that this debt was contracted
under the monarchy, and will

That it will be- paid by this
government. What, the debt
not yet paid off! and this in place
OF tue statement made by the
Advertiser four days ago. that the
Provisional Government "has

Well, we'll, we'll, we have al
ways had the impression that the
Advertiser was not overtruthful
in its statements on the financial
condition of the Hawaiian Treas
ury. but nov the whole commu-
nifty may be convinced that the
editorial statements relating to

the issues of that paper or Tues

Advertiser, that debt If nearly
four millions of dollars does ex-

that the public debt to almost |

The Tramways Company, has
always been the object of the
Advertisers persecution which
has constantly been directed
against Mr.. Paine, the manager
of the Company. The P. G..
seems to have taken the cue from
its semi-official sheet and is
trying to annoy Mr. Paine and
interfere with the cars on all and
every occasion. The latest ex
hibition of this feeling was the
unwarranted stopping of the cars
for one hour while the circus on
palace square took place. The
Tramways Company, not alone
has franchise under which it
has the sole use and right of
way of the portion of the streets
granted to it, but what we
consider of much more
is the fact that the
tram cars are one of the greatest
benefits to the community, and
have become an indis-
pensable necessity.

The immense benefit which
Hawaii can derive from making
an exhibit at the fair we cannot
see. What are we going to gain
by it, OF course Mr.. Thurston
will answer tourists. Somehow
or other the tourists are slow
in coming in spite of all the
efforts of Mr.. Thurston and his
| crowd. And even If they do come
their number will never be suffi-
GENTLY large to be of any visible
benefit to the country at large.
Tourist : travelling in Switzer-
land has often been mentioned as
a proof of what a great benefit,
and what great revenue coun-
try can derive from becoming the
place where all excursionists and
tourists desire to go. But look
at the difference. 1t takes a
tiresome sea-voyage of fourteen
days to go to Hawaii and back to
San Francisco, while Switzerland
can be reached in less than "a
hours from nearly every point in
Europe. In Hawaii the travel
Ter is cut off absolutely from |
ali communications with his |
home and must live not less
than a month without being able
to exchange messages while in
Switzerland, he has the cable
and the mail and can return
home if needed in few hours.
To travel in Hawaii is a costly
affair. Only well to DO people
san afford it. To travel In
Switzerland doesn't cost more or
n many instances as much as it
costs the traveller to stay at
home and live in his ordinary
style. In Switzerland the tour

The disposition which this
promoter makes of the Hawai-
ian Band is piece of his usual
chesk- The Bandmen have not
signiied their Willingness to 60
to California and as long as
Thurston has anything to do
with the Fair it is extreme
ly doubtful if they will
entertain any propositions to go.
The only thing that can attract
foreigners to an Hawaiian Elk
hibition is the Hula, and that
has been tabcoed. 1t is sad,
but it is true. The Hula is the
only original true Hawaiian
feature which we have left-and
that we may as well keep at home
and for closed doors. The people
who have heretofore invested in
Mr.. Thurston's many schemes
should go little slow and think
well before they dig" 1t is
Just as well to see if any returns
will ever come from the old en-

new ones. Mr.. Thurston is all
right. The government pays

enough proof is here furnished
to show the taxpayers, that the

condition of this countrys treas
ury are baseless fabrications.
We assert. that the heavy draft

AT The rHBAPER.

Richard the Lion-Hearted," Besuti-
full Drama Delightfully."- Presented.
Robert Downing, the eminent young
tragedian, was greeted by large audience
at the theater last night. A romantic
drama. by A. d. Hall, Richard
the Lion-Hearted, was presented. Mr..
Downing sustains his well-earned reputa-
ton as a finished and versatile actor in the
Blair as the princess of Navarro
Among those who added TO the
finished performance was Mise May rindlev,
who in private lite is known as Miss May
Downing, a sister of the tragedian. She
made ner debut on the stage about
ten days ago and shows remarkable talent
in her PRESERVATION Of the MAID Of Honor
TO the Princess" The company is made up OF
good actors who filled the parts assigned to
them in a consoientious and artistic manner
The story Of this play, which is received
with favor by the public everywhere it has
been presented, is as follows:
Richard, he Lion Hearted" is founded
on the story Of Richard CCeur deLion, King of
England. The first act takes place in the
throne room Of the kingly palace, When
Richard oompels Hugh Mowbray Earl Of
Norfolk, TO marry the daughter of Duncan
Mcivor, whom he has wronged knowledge
Of the crime having come to the king
through An at ack on his own life "
Duncan, who mistakes him for Mowbray.
The guilty earl and tie kings brother
William, quarrel over the decision, and are
separated by Richard. The second act is in
the hut Of Friar Tuck, where Richard, dis
guised as knight, has sought refuge from
bis enemies conspiracy having been
formed by Mowbray to murder hi and
seize the throne. After a humorous scene
with the friar, Richard rescues from so le
outlaws the Princess Berengaria, on her way
to her espousal with him, who Is dis
guised as one of her own maids. Each
falls in love with the other, but neither
penetrRtes the disguise. In the third act
they ueet again, and in their true charac-
tiers renew their protestations of affection.
Richard, victorious over his enemies, is
about 30 put them to death. but pardons
them at Bere garia's solicitation, and to
prove his worth to her undertakes them on
a crusade to rescue the tomb of the Savior
from the pagans. The act closes with an
intensely dramatic scene in which all
swear allegiance to Richard. The fourth
and last act finds Richard in prison. To his
rescue comes Berengaria, who has passed
tho guards disguised as a boy. She releases
the king aud places a sword Ia bis hand. An
encounter with Mowbray, in which the
traitor is slain, ends the drama. The faith
full princess has saved the throne.
Mr. Downing will present "Ingomar" at
the matinee this afternoon, and tonight
his original conception of "Othello" will be
given. In this character Mr.. Downing has
received praise from the finest ORA ATTIC
critics in the country.

A RAILROAD ENJoINED.
An Injunction Against the Suburban
and West End.

An Injunction Against the Suburban
and West End.
The Suburban and West End Railway
Company, which is constructing its line
along Railroad street and the Louisville
road TO Savannah's new suburb near JASPER
Springs, was temporarily enjoined from
further work last night by Judge Falligant.
The proceedings were brought by Alexan-
der r. Fawcett who owns a store and
dwelling house at West Boundary and Rail-
road streets.
Mr.. FaWcett claims that IL the railroad
Is built as proposed IN front OF his prop
erty 1t will greatly depreciate its value and
work considerable damage. The rail would
only be 2 feet 10 inches from the side Of his
building, and with a car projecting over
the same the distance would be reduced to
- inches This Mr.. Fawcett alleges
would not give any room for the proper
transaction Of his business, and he
prays the court for relief and an injunction
TO prevent the construction of the road as at
present intended.
Judge Falligant granted temporary In
junction and set next Saturday at 10 o'clock
for the hearing upon the permanent order.
The road is now nearly completed to both
sides of the bridge. The company will
build an iron bridge in place Of the present
wooden affair similar to the one at the foot
of River street connecting the Central rail
road wharves. 1t is hardly probable that
the injunction proceedings will amount TO
much.
