FROM CRAVE TO GAY.

The spelling reformers will be
pardoned if they protest against
including the Hawaiian profusion
of vowels in the Sandwich Island
annexation.
The suggestions as to costume
that come in articles on Hawaii in
dictate that annexation would be
something of an offset to the crino-
line invasion that is imminent.
England appears to be impressed
with feeling that she has trouble
enough on her hands without wor-
rying in respect to Hawaii.
If Hawaii would only annex the
United States we might hope to
rent telephones for twenty-four dol
lars year, as do the people of Ho-
nolulu.
Canada is doubtless keeping her
eye on Hawaii to see just how an
nexation is accomplished.
The Hawaiian queen was about
to food her country with small
coin when she was deposed. 1t
was a case of putting pennies in the
slot and getting revolution.
For neatness and dispatch in rev.
dictionary matters Hawaii can give
the southern republics points.
Scientific investigators who have
been worrying over the ancestry of
the native Hawaiians-alleged to
be Aryan, but probably Malayan-
will be surprised to learn that the
males at least are really British.
An esteemed contemporary says
that "the men dress in duck trou-

from England and are very cheap"

ALOHA.

rhythmic word of kindly greeting,
Used alike by prince and peasant,
Strangers heart to set a-beating
With its welcome warm and plea
SAINT
Thrill my senses at the sound
AS my grateful pulses bound.
Hear it spoke by children's voices
Gay at sport in grassy byways!
Hear il 'mong the merry noises
OF the meadows and the highways
Falling mellow on the air,
From red lips so ripe and rare.
When the moonlight glints the ocean
With sheen of silver splendor,
And the waves with drowsy motion
To the sands their homage tender,
Then in dreams that word is breathed
And a web of beauty wreathed.
Let me listen to aloha
From my gentle island brother,
For it seems a word of more
Cordial cheer than any other,
AS the salutation peals
And upon my spirit steals.
And aloha let ME utter
In friendship true and faithful,
mid the leaves that fitful fiutter
And the clouds that darken wrath
full,
When the sea-storm filings its foam
On the rocks where fishers roam.
And aloha let me offer
When the trade winds fan the Pail,
And dawn refreshing proffer
To the green Nuuanu valley;
When the whitecaps kiss our deck
And with froth the ocean fieck.
When the fieecy, downy masses,
In the heavens sweep the noun
tains,
And the breeze that softly passes
Wakes to life its snowy fountains,
Will l give that greeting glad
To each laughing lass and lad
Who with garlands on their bosoms
And bright leis about the forehead
OF the gaudy, gilded blossoms
That adorn the islands torrid,
Meet me dancing down the dells
To the chimes of chapel bells.
Yes, love the winsome manner
OF the peaceful island people
Meath the guava and banana,
And the palm trees russell steeple
Open hearts and open doors
BeckOn to those tropic shores.
Yield 1 back in greetings golden
As tread the coral islands
The Hawaiian salve olden
OF the coast and azure highlands,
An aloha from the soul
Where Pacific's surges roll.
Dulcet tones of hearty welcome
Fond alike to gay and dreary,
To my memory like bell come
With their music light and CHEEKY,
And wish with loving smiles
Wa alohas to those isles.

Blue-girdled island that lieth afar,
BY long blue washes of f1uctuant
waves;
In flashes of white, leaping over the
bar
And singing sweet music in coral
Methinks / gaze on thy green slopes
again,
In loneliness clad by the sun and
the rain;
The gate of the Paradise stands ajar,
And the pleasure of memory's keen
with pain.
We climb to the summit of Tantalus
steep.
The air is faint with aroma of flow
ers,
And far below us the city lies, deep
In soft green twilight of emerald
bowers.
The leaves are stirred by wandering
breeze,
Frolicsome, singing its song in the
trees;
Striving, in time and in tune, to
keep
With the measured bass of the indo-
lent seas.
The landscape is blazing with lumin-
GUS green,
Ruffied and flushed with purple and
rose;
Flashes of scarlet aud opaline sheen
And jessamine blooms like the
drifted SHOWS,
Waiver and glance DER the undulant
dO0r
OF the billowing leaves from hill to
shore,
Where the palms to the southern
sunlight lean,
And the fisherman dallies with tardy
oar.
Pinnacled high above dreamy green
wales,
A soft sweet melody family floats,
Far up from glens and enchanted
dales,-
A chorus sung by thousand Threats.
Far, far below us the wide ocean lies,
Rejecting the blue of the stainless
skies;
On the far horizon a simmer of
sails,
And mist-veiled islands in purple
dyes.
Flocculent clouds in the radiant west
By distant hilltops sleepily skim,
And waver high over the mountains
breast
"All striped and barred like the rain
bows RIM"
Thin mists the glorified island DER
spread,
From Kalaeloa to Diamond Head,
And the hills are lighted from base
to crest,
In gold, and russell, and vermeil red.
Long shadows are creeping from hill
to hill
Silence broods over land asleep;
No sound save some far off tinkling
rill
Dripping afar in the valleys green
deep,
And the babblingsong where the water
croons
Or soft winds whispering woodland
runes.
The voices of nature are hushed and |
still,
And the moon swims deep in the Pearl |
lagoons.

Mr.. Whiting is one of the finest

SMUGGLING OPIUM.
A LUCRATIVE BUSINESS FOR FIRE
MEs AND COAL-PAssERs.

There is a story passing around
which, if true, proves that several
fremen and coal-passers on the
steamer Australia are making
money rapidly by smuggling
opium. The story is to the effect
that the members of the crew of
the Australia have been dealing in
the drug for long time. They
had an agent here to sell the stuff
in the person of Charles Leonard,
an ex-hackman. The agent made
good returns for several trips, but
when his. principals returned to
town some months ago they found
that Leonard had left, and, it is
alleged, he carried away about
$500 of their money, which he
had obtained by selling their
opium. He took passage for San
Francisco on a sailing vessel, but
he did not get there ahead of the
men he had done up.
The men waited in San Fran
cisco for Leonard, and when the
vessel carrying him was sighted
they hired a boat and went out to
meet him. They got aboard and
grabbed the ex-hackman and, after
he received a good beating, he
handed out about social the
money he had.
Of course the public would like
to know how the $1,000 worth of
opium got ashore, but they will
have to wait for an explanation.
That the crew of the Australia
deal in the contraband article, no.
body seems to deny, and the fol-
lowing Will prove that opium is
coming to this port all the time,
but the Oldest inhabitant cannot
remember when a seizure was made
on the Oceanic dock.
This is taken from the S. f. Ex-
aminer of a late date:
Inspector McGinnis made
lucky catch this afternoon, half an
hour before the steamer Australia
left the dock for Honolulu. He
was exploring the lower regions of
the ship in company with Inspector
Sprague when his attention was at
tracted by an unusual pile of rub
bish about the water tank of the
freroom. Probing led to the I'M
covering of lao pounds of opium
without the proper revenue stamps.
1t was mostly domestic stuff, on
which the manufacture duty is $40
pound. The attempt to furnish
smoke for the Chinese of Hawaii
was attributed to the fremen, but
as no evidence was obtainable no
arrests were made"
A member of the crew of the
Australia tells funny story about
the custom house officers. When
the vessel is in port an officer pa
trolls the deck looking for opium.
When some of it is ready to be
landed, a confederate at the bow |
throws log of wood overheard. 1t |
makes a loud splash and the noise
at once attracts the attention of the |
sharp-eyed customs official, who
Immediately runs forward to see
what it is all about While he is
absent, a boat puts out from the
stern of the vessel with a load of
opium which had been lowered with
a rope. If the opium is not landed |
in this manner it must be brought |
ashore through some other channel
as the drug seems to be plentiful
about Chinatown, Judging from the
price, which is considered
low.

The Sherman Silver Purchase Law,
that has stood as menace to our
financial advancement, has been wiped
from the Statute books. The Senate,
by the significant vote of 43 to 80,
passed the Voorhees, Repeal Bill on
Monday of last week, and the House
on Thursday concurred in its action.
The President has attached his sigma
ture to the document, and the country
looks forward to gradual improve
ment in the condition of financial
matters. The struggle has been a
stubborn one, but the will of the peo-
pie has been obeyed. There are yet
two uufulfilled pledges of the Demo
cratic party that must be faithfully
kept, viz: the Repeal of the Elections
Law and the modification of the Nc
Kinley Tariff. The party in power
will keep faith with the people in
these directions, as it has done in the
case of the Sherman Law.
