The indignation felt and eN-
pressed when the American minis.
ter heard of the indecency placed
upon him, was that of an honest
and honorable man who spurns
the attempt to use his name and
public position as a means for
furthering a partisan campaign, in
which he is not interested, and
which ne is not here to Judge.
Minister Blount was in ignorance
of the entire scheme and presenta-
ton which was developed at the
Oceanic wharf. and his indignation
and anger are wholly creditable to
him both as a man and as s minis
ter. The American residents here,
as well as the bulk of the citizens
Of Hawaii, share his feelings, but
esteem him none the less because
he has been made the victim of
-oyalist impoliteness, if nothing
worse.

Since Minister Blount's arrival
in Hawaii he has won the respect
Of all classes of people, and it is
unfortunate that near the close of
his official visit he should be sub
jected to treatment such as he re-
ceived last week. 1t was hoped the
men who have placed this indig-
nifty upon him would at least re-
frain from this covert attack upon
his honor until he had finished his
official duties; this much was
hoped for the good name of Hawaii.
The treatment of former American
ministers, however, has been re-
peated ; and now there is no reason
for cOneeaIing the truth that sooner
or later Mr.. BIount viii be subjected
to all the SANDER and indignity
heaped upon MS predecessor, If he
to refuse to become a
partisan Of the royalist cause. It
is not enough to these men that
Minister Blount strictly adheres to
his official instructions and serves
his country hOnorabIy and faith
fully. This is not what they want
2r what they demand and unless
ne becomes a partisan, false to the
rust he holds from the United !
States government, he will in the
md call down upon his head all
he vituperation and venom for
which the vindictive leaders and
of the royalist cause are
loted.

It Is, perhaps, needless to COM
ment on the suicidal character of
this sort Of political policy; it is
enough to point out that It has
been the one followed By the sup
porters Of the e1-queen since the
day she attempted the overthrow
Of constitutional government in
Hawaii. The men who publicly
and causelessly insulted Minister
Blount last week were the advisers
OF the monarchy when It made its
last fatal error and fell, never to
rise again.

Il was st first gravely feared that
after the establishment Of the
Provisional government It would
fail in its financial career and
for some time money matters
seemed TO be the hidden rock upon
which the new government was
almost sure to suffer shipTreck. 1t
would have proved so to fnanciers
Of less ability than those who have
been wisely placed at the head Of
the finance department since the
overthrow Of the monarchy. Since
the 18th Of last January, when the
Provisional government went into
power, the advance in the finances
Of the country has been constantly
toward the sound basis, which. IN
der Minister Damon, has been at
tanned much more speedily than
even the friends Of good govern
nent expected or hoped under the
uufavorabIe circumstance. This
has been due mainly 10 three
things, VIZ. the buziness-like
methods introduced. the sound
policy Of making governmental
ends meet, and the personal rspu-
tation for upright, honorable aud
non-partisan character Of the men
placed in charge Of the finances Of
the government. Politics and
finances were divorced. and sure
success followed. Political crit
cisms have fallen harmless before
the financial results obtained and
published weekly to the taxpayers,
whose confidence has been won BY
the simple and business-like method
Of allowing them 70 look over the
nations cash books.

The combined attack of wealth
and the unscrupulous opposition Of
the paid foreign partisans, who are
fighting in solid rank with the rem
nants Of the monarchy, to prevent
the control Of American influence
in the Hawaiian Islands, have sig
naIIy failed to make headway
against the popularity and good
showing Of the Provisional govern
ment from its establishment to
date. At the present writing there
is not q shadow Of doubt that the
government is more firmly estab-
lished today than the monarchy
ever was, and that it is daily be-
more permanently en-
trenched in political and financial
strength beyond the possibility Of
disruption or overthrow.

France and Siam.

A dispatch from Bangkok, the
capital of Siam, says the French gun
boat Lutin is anchored in the river
opposite the center of Bangkok and
has made preparations to fire upon
the city. The French admiral in his
flagship is expected to arrive in
Siamese waters from Saigon.
The dispatch adds: Though most
anxious to maintain friendship with
the French, Siam is quietly deter
mined to resist aggression and is
preparing for any contingency. The
defenses of the country prove strong
er than expected. Three ships have
been sunk at the entrance of the
Menau, a river on which Bangkok is
situated, about twenty miles from
its mouth. This reduces the channel
to the narrowest limits possible for
use and the Government is ready at
a moments notice to complete the
block to prevent the ingress and
egress of vessels.

Pension Frauds.

They are after the fraudulent pen
sioners. A list comprising the names
of number of pensioners recon-
mended by Commissioner Lochren
to be dropped from the pension rolls
has been handed to Secretary Hoke
Smith and he has approved the
recommendation. 1t has been found
on investigation by the Pension Bu-
reau that the persons whose names
are given are not entitled for various
reasons to draw pensions.
The work of examining the rolls
with a view to the detection of fraud
will be prosecuted with vigor, and at
the same time current issues will be
carefully scrutinized with the same
object. Secretary Hoke Smith and
Commissioner Lochren, while prose-
cutting this work, renew the assur-
ance previously given that just as
much care will be exercised to secure
pensions to those who are entitled to
them under the law as will be used to
prevent fraud.

A mistake which many housewives
make is that of overriding the luxury
department of their tables for the
advantage of visitors. 1t should be
remembered that one cannot worry
in the kitchen over multitudes of un.
wonted delicacies and shine in the
parlor or the sitting-room with that
sweetness of mind and expression
that is more charming than any cul.
mary triumph; if the table be simply,
adequately and neatly provided, the
feast will meet the full approval OF
all sensible guests.
In the case OF several guests pre-
sent at the same time; whether mere
ly callers or otherwise, the hostess
should take care not to neglect any
by giving exclusive attention to the
others. Particularly in the case OF
retiring and diffident persons pains
should be taken to make them inter
ested in and acquainted with all who
are present.

The President, Secretary Carlisle
and the financial officers of the Gov
ernment generally received the first
authentic news of the startling action
of the Government of India in sus-
pending silver coinage through the
press dispatches. When the report
of the announcement in the Commons
and Lords was received, the gravity
of the situation was at once apparent.
Carlisle Immediately went to the
White House, and for nearly two
hours discussed the bearings of
Great Britain's action with the Pres
ident.
The circumstances are regarded as
too serious to permit of any authentic
expression of opinion as to the future
policy of the United States until all
the facts are fully digested. This
much, however, can be stated with
absolute confidence. The action OF
the Indian Government is regarded
by the United States as doing away
with the necessity for reconvening
the International Monetary Confer
ence, which was to meet again in
Brussels this fall.
In is not believed that the action
was taken without express orders
from the British Government, which
had general supervision and control
over Indian affairs. The action of
the Indian government was not alto
gether surprise to treasury officials
though what its effect may be on the
future action of the United States
cannot be easily gauged.

Coffee Fiavoring Extract.

\ tlavoring of coffee is one of the
most delicious of the new flavorings.
1t may be used in custards, ice
creams, the icing of cake and in many
other cold desserts. A charlotte
russo favored with coffee is especial
ly nice, To flavor quart of custard
take two heaping tablespoonful of
Mocha coffee, ground quite fine and
measured after grinding. If possible
the coffee should have been browne
and ground the day it is used Pour
the quart of milk of which the Gus
tard is to be made boiling hot over
the coffee, beat the whole thoroughly
for two or three minutes over the
fire. Then remove it from the stove,
cover it and let it stand where it will
gradually cool and the flavoring of
the coffee will be infused through
the milk. Then strain it. This gives
a very delicate, delicious flavor of
coffee and is strong enough to flavor
ID quart of ice cream, in which case a
mixture of half cream and half milk
must be poured over the coffee To
make a coffee essence for flavoring
icings and other dishes that cannot
be favored by infusion, take two
heaping tablespoonfuls of good Mocha
coffee, ground and roasted fresh.
Pour over it cup of cold water.
Let it reduce over the fire until there
remain but four tablespoonfuls when
1t is strained. Use about one table
spoonful of this to flavor the icing of
one good sized cake, or teaspoonful
If you like the flavoring very delicate.

A Durable Whitewash,

A well tried recipe calls for three
pounds of whiting and two ounces of
white glue, Put the glue in a dish
on the back part of the stove and
pour over it a pint of cold water.
Let it stand until the glue is dis
solved and add the whiting, then add
as much water as necessary to make
it of the proper consistency, which
should be that of very thin cream.
The rule is to give a ceiling three
coats, but in room that is used
much, four would be better. In
putting it on do not do too large a
piece at once, and do not have the
mixture too thick; make the strokes
all one way and as evenly as possible.
The strokes must run parallel with
the walls OF the room, and each coat
should alternate in the direction of
strokes with the one before it.

Waste of Food,

We waste food in two ways. We
eat more than we need, and great
deal is simply thrown away. That
which is rejected in kitchen and
table refuse does no harm, but that
which we consume in excess of our
needs, is worse than wasted, because
of the injury it does to health. In
some of the dietaries examined from
one-ninth to one-twelfth of the nutri
tive material was simply thrown
away, and what made the matter
still worse from the pecuniary stand
point, the portions thus rejected
were mostly from the meats, in which
the nutritive ingredients are the
most costly.
