Hop Picking Dances.

Hop dances are about as important
feature of the hop harvest time as the
picking of the hops, and both are at
their best just now.
Did you ever pick hops or go to hop
dance? Then you have missed exper-
fences of which nothing can take the
place. The work is hard, the hours are
long in the field, but the fun when the
deserted for the day, and the sun has
set, is fascinating enough to make it all
up. AT least that is what thousands of
hop pickers think about it.
Most of the pickers are boarded and
lodged by their employers and on large
farms the choppers boarding houses"
are sometimes quite important struc-
lures, with separate dormitories for the
men and women. On smaller farms
less care is taken with these places. All
men and women alike. are expected to
make their beds. The food in most
cases is abundant and good and include
a liberal allowance of pie. Modey and
fun are what they are after. and the fun
comes after supper, Then the dances.
then the moonlight walks, then the
drives about the country in buggies-
all these for the young folks who are
inclined somewhat to sentiment, for
the men and boys who don't want to
be bothered with the girls there are
wrestling matches and stories and pipes
and sometimes little cider for change
but not often any disreputable proceed
ings.
A hop dance is social function that
possesses its own forms of etiquette, al
though these vary with the locality.
Is it possible, by the way, that dances
of another grade were first called
"hops" because the terpsichorean fes.
tivities of hop haryesters are called
hop dances?" Usually the hop dance
is held in the barn. The floor is swept
clean, and the tanning mill is set out
side along with other agricultural i'm
plements that are usually stored there.
The light is furnished by kerosene
lamps by candles.
Sometimes dudes from town invade
the hop dance and try to monopolize
the attentions of the prettiest girls.
When that happens look out for storm.
1t won't do, however, to assume that
it is always the dudes who get the
worst of it, although, that is usually
the result of contest between them
and the pickers, owing in some meas
ure possibly to the superior numbers of
the pickers who generally stick to each
other.
Hop picking is healthful employ
ment, and many persons engage in it |
for a season or two simply as a recu-
perative measure. AS manual labor
goes it pays well, and there are prob
ab y in every hop raising neighborhood
whole families who earn almost all the |
money they expend during the entire
twelve months, at hop picking time.

A Speech for Mr.. Willis.

The mission upon which Minister
Willis has been sent to the provisional
government of Hawaii is so extraordi-
nary, says the New York Sun, that it is
hard to see how he could use any lam
guage, in presenting his credentials,
that would express the feelings of the
administration without being an insult
to President Dole and all his associates.
Minister Willis speech, u~nrevised,
would read somewhat like this:
"Mr. President: I am commissioned by
the government of the United States as
minister plenipotentiary to the Hawaiian
government for the purpose of overthrowing
that government. The United States as q
republic cannot view without dissatisfac-
ton the destruction of any monarchy, nor
can they allow American interests to be-
come permanent in these islands. | an
directed to inform you that the United
States gravely disapprove the resistance
offered to her sacred Majesty Queen Liliuo-
kalani, and the armed combination of white
residents OF Hawaii to prevent their dis
reimbursement and to protect their lives and
property. | am ordered to assure you and
your associates that IL was your duty and
their duty to yield to the demands OF her
sacred Majesty the Queen, your and their
lawful sovereign by the grace of God, and
the good friend OF Great Britain. for whose
prosperity my country has an especial re-
gard. Mr.. President, | am authorized to
declare to you that the United States gov
ernment, for the purpose Of manifesting its
intention of pursuing a policy of non-inter-
ference in the internal affairs of Hawaii,
will restore her sacred Majesty Queen
measures and force of arms If necessary;
and it is now my duty to command the So
called provisional government of Hawaii to
cease to exercise any public functions, and
to restore within twenty.four hours to her
sacred Majesty Queen Liliuokalani, or her
representatives, all crown or public prop
erty, lands, buildings, Notifications, rev.
enues, arms, and munitions, and all appur-
tenances and insignia whatever by it now
illegally held and detained. Mr.. President,

Bank of England in Trouble.

The latest sensation that has burst upon
the financial world involves that great
Gibraltar of finance known as the Bank of
England. f. May, the chief cashier, has
involved the bank in losses that will aggre-
gate over 81, 900, 600. The cashier was in
trusted with almost absolute power in max
ing investments. A short time since the
directors found cause to question the sound
ness of his judgment, which was subjecting
the bank to unaccustomed loss. They voted
to retire him on half pension. After further
investigation OF the nature Of his invest
meuts, they decided to retire him peremp-
torily, and refused to pension him. 1t
ssems hat this officers son was chairman
or leading director in some OF the so-called
trust companies, of which so many nave
gone to the wall during the last twelve
months, revealing a |lamentable state Of
financial unsoundness. Cashier May in
vested large sums Of the banks money in
these companies, and the collapse IT these
institutions has swamped the funds. The
cashier has been peremptorily removed, but
the bank cannot proceed against him. He
was gwen discretionary powers which cover
his actions, and can only be charged with
bad Judgment. 1t is a cause OF great won
der to financial men that the bank did not
quietly pay the cashiers debts, and avoid
this exposure, which is so humiliating to
English inanciering. The bank is in no
way embarrassed by these ~losses-indeed it
could stand many like them-but its pres
tige for sound administration has received
a very black eye. Some foolish people in
some parts of England are refusing to cash
Bank of England notes, fearing that the in
stltution is not solvent.

train service, its general facilities for the
accommodation Of all classes of travel, and
It's methods OF looking after the comfort and

leading railways OF the world. Its through

Affairs in Hawaii.

A steamer arriving at San Francisco
on Saturday from Honolulu brings
no news of a sensational character.
At the time of her departure, Minister
Willis had not carried out the presi-
dents determination to restore Queen
L~iliuokalani to her throne. Why he
has not restored the queen to her
own" an act which Secretary Gresham
says will alone " satisfy the demands
of justice, !" does not appear. Reports
from Washington indicate that the
president and his secretary of state had
confidently expected by this steamer
news of the restoration of the queen,
and are much disappointed at the APP
parent failure of Minister Willis to
carry out their instructions. If the
government knows why there is a hitch
in the execution of its policy, the pub
lie has not been given the information.
Possibly the minister finds the task he
was sent to;perform one of greater diff
Guilty than was anticipated. Very likely
the steamer which carried the admins
tration's representative TO his destina-
ton carried also to President Dole, of
the provisional government, reports of
public sentiment in this country. The
minister might also have found that
the provisional government is more
strongly intrenched in the confidence
Of the Hawaiian people than has been
represented by Commissioner Blount.
The enjoyment for a period of nine
months of a free government, wisely
administered, may have awakened a
strong determination to defend that
government, ven if the United States
should assail it and undertake to urn
the people over to the corrupt and in
efficient monarchy they discarded in
January last.
Line men who revolted against a bur.
lesqne queen came naturally enough by
the instinct of freedom. They are the
descendants of those who, generations
ago, showed to the world that they
knew their rights "and, knowing.
dared maintain them. If Minister
Willis, discovering the existence at
Honolulu of a good government and a
determination to defend it, has there
fore paused in the administration of the
satisfaction which, in Secretary
"Gresham's judgment, "justice de-
mands," and ls awaiting further in
structions, he has practiced a wise dis
erection. Concurrently with the arrival
OF the administrations further orders,
there may also reach the Hawaiian cap
ltal full information of the storm of in
nignation that swept over the United
states, and is still raging, over the pub
lit announcement of the presidents
" policy of infamy." The restoration
of the queen, if still an unaccomplished
fact, is an enterprise that will unques-
tionably be given over, happily for the
best interests of the Sandwich Islands
and for the good name of the United
States.
