THE SITUATION.

The Corwin's arrival and the
possible or probable purport OF
its dispatches continues to be
the prevailing topic on the streets
and in the business offices. Half
of the P. G. adherents are Deep
ly weighing the significance of
His Honor Albert Francis Judd S
statement, eff we do not all hang
together we will hang separate
ly.' We hasten to assure them that
there is no unmitigated vengeance
in the hearts of the restoration
party. Those misguided but
sincere men who honestly thought
that they were acting for the
benefit of the country have
nothing to fear. But those who
went into the rebellion to save
their own positions, or to grab
those of other people, need not
grumble if they find that in the
words of the Scriptures from
them "shall be taken away even
that which they had But all
honest men. however they may
theoretically view the form of
government, which is destined to
control these islands. will I'M
doubtedly admit that any contest
with the expressed will of the
Government of the United States
is simply folly, and means ruin to
the country. and to the very peo-
pie who oppose what they are
pleased to claim as their own
government and nation All the
others need not worry. Political
opinions differing should not
cancel ancient friendships, or
preventmu working for the
common benefit Of the nation
and country.

Sound the Warning Note.

This heading NAV seem to
some of our readers rather mis-
leading, but we are going to refer
to those notes of the Government
usually styled silver certificates.
These are certificates that the
face value has been deposited in
silver coin in the Hawaiian
Treasury, and that on presenta-
ton there the note will be re-
deemed in that coin. Heretofore
under the much abused (by the
Tins and Macs and the Mission
aries Monarchical Government,
this question of whether the
money was there in the vaults to
redeem the notes has been the
first duty of every Legislature
through its Finance Committee
to answer. So far for many
decades the question has been
answered in the affirmative. The
public could rest assured that if
the note was presented, it would
be redeemed on presentation In
coin. Now we hear that one of
the wild schemes of the Provi-
sional Government when, after
declaring war on the q. s., they
retire to the foothills, is to take
the money laid by to secure
these Treasury certificates and
use it for the support of the crowd
of hopeless buns, criminals, and
beachcombers, whom they have
hired to defend the sacred pre-
rogative of the missionary rule in
Hawaii.
We sound the warning note
(the treasury note) and let
them know, even if Thurston
counsels it and Damon endorses
the policy, that such an act of
embezzlement will do more to
ruin them In the eyes of the pub
lie than any other action of
tyranny they have heretofore
committed.

TOPICS OF THE DAY.

The Star of yesterday evening
contains an assertion that the
Provisional Government has
prepared an ultimatum to be
handed to the q. S. representa-
tive in case he announces that
his government insists on replac-
ing government affairs here in
the status quo ante January 18th
1893. This ultimatum it is as
serted will defy the United States
and its forces. and announces
the unalterable determination of
the P. G. to stick to its guns
and its salaries. Can any one
imagine anything more idiotical-
ly bombastic than this an
nouncement?

getting shot by the U. S. forces
for not surrendering on demand.
The only friends (if you can
call them sol that the P. g. has
are those who realize that while
dressed in little brief author
ity'' they have behaved them
selves so as to feel in their own
minds incapable Of ever being
pardoned by the victims of their
cowardly spite and babyish
tyranny.

Fancy Eighteen shopkeepers,
attorneys, and grazIers, announce
that they and their $50 men in

the lowest scallawags in the float

valiant Col. Soper of bricks

We always admire newspaper
enterprise. and We have certainly
nothing to say against the Star
for securing the papers which
contained the message of the
President from the Revenue
Cutter Corwin; but we are inclin-
ed to think that a very irregular
course was adopted by someone
on board the cutter in allowing
paper to be given to political
local journal, and at the same
time refusing any information or
any paper to be handed to the
local journals of an opposite
political stripe. The paper from
which the Star printed the Presi-
dents message was dispatched in
a private boat from the Corwin to
the Philadelphia by sailor on
board the Cutter and was then
taken to the Star office. A spec
ial dispatch boat should not be a
mail carrier-but we have no
doubt that the Admiral will in
vestigate and properly punish
those connected with this matter.

dated journalist from the hamlet

he was schoolmate of Mr..
Blaine, was rewarded by political

making frightful mess of every

attempt at answering Blount. 1t
Is great pity that the Star does
not take courage, and print in

'disreputable character of J.

but the dark figure took no notice.
and moved along by her side in
to the court The girl stood
still, but the figure moved along
the north side of the court, and
disappeared in the direction of
what is known as the haunted
staircase.
These are the two best anthem
ticated stories. There are others,
but they do not seem to bear the
stamp of genuineness. Another
maidseryant declares that people
have walked about her room
when there was no material body
there to walk, and man felt a
mysterious hand on his face
while walking about one night.
THE HAUNTED STAIRCASE
is place to be avoided at night.
1t is very handsome and mas
sive, but uncanny. Visitors will
know it as the staircase which
they descend on leaving the
picture galleries. At the foot
there stand generally two police
men, and the night watchmen
deposit their coats there when
they come on duty. Light is
admitted by tall small-paned
windows. Descending the stairs
one looks at an enormous canvas
hlilng all the opposite wall. 1t
sadly needs restoring, and all
that can be made of it is that an
interesting female is being drag
ged somewhere, while a number
nude persons dance around in
what, under the circumstances
seems to be indecent glee. Bnt
on the landing, before the de-
scending the the stairs, one sees
two doors. The one In the cor
ner deserves special attention.
1t is the door of
THE HAUNTED CHAMBER.
Nobody knows why, but this door
has not been opened in the
memory of the oldest inhabitant.
1t is locked and barred and the
keyhole, is stopped up with wood.
1t is massive oaken door, of
great age md strength, and be-
hind it no one knows what
turks. You could not
tempt anybody, especially of late
to pass this door in the night.
Fortunately nobody requires
to pass it, as there are no apart
ments in this portion of the
building. From what 1 learnt
it would seems that the panic is
SO really serious that several
servants have given notice that
they will leave their situations.

HAMPTON COURT GHOSTS.
Strange Nocturnal Appearances

ONE of the representatives of
a London paper, who has been
inquiring into the stories circu-
lated recently of ghosts making
nocturnal appearances at Hsmp-
ton Court, writes:
On my way to the Palace l
dropped into a local bakers.
and was RECALLED with buns and
stories of blood curdling zap
pesrsnces, which had been
poured into willing ears by gos-
slping and excited serving maids.
But it must be acknowledged
that these stories were for the
most part incoherent and dis
connected. The retailers of
them had evidently been in
dulglng somewhat prematurely
in Christmas literature of the
good old Yule log type. Out of
the confusion, however, there
seemed to stand forth three
figures. In the first place there
is a lady, who. ignoring the
ethics of the spirit word. walks
abroad at night clothed in gar
ments of sombre black. Then
there is another visitant, whose
sex Is unknown, as its presence
is recognised only through the
sense of hearing; and, lastly,
there is soldier.
THE SOLDIER GHOST
seems the most in applicable of the
three. [ was unable to find any
one who had actually seen it,
inasmuch as the man who runs"
this particular apparition was off
duty and was in bed asleep. The
spot whore the ghost appears
was, however. carefully pointed
out to me. 1t is at the end of the
cloister. upon which open Cardl-
nal Wolsey's apartments. He
who showed it drew attention to
a mark on the wall. 1t is the
mark Of a bullet ESQ it is sadly |
which killed a man. The man |
was sergeant, and his murderer |
was soldier of his regiment who |
had grudge against him. The |
soldier was on sentry duty at the |
time, stationed somewhere away |
down the long perspective of the
cloister. The date of this tragedy |
is lost in antiquity, but the
of the ghost of the
murdered sergeant is as recent as
last Saturday week. On this
night Waterman, whose name
was furnished to me, was going
his rounds, and upon arriving at
