THE KINETOGRAPH.

If electricians keep on the people of

each knows Of the others doings that it
will be unsafe TO be engaged III any
transaction which one would not be will
ing to expose 70 view in the open
streets. The telephone has caused no
end Of mischief Some busybody finds
his wire crossed with his neighbors'
wires. Forthwith he posts himself to
find out what is going on in the neigh
borhood. While such vigils are gener-
ally unrewarded, occasionally rich de-
velopments occur. Within a year
dozen scandals have resulted from ewes
droppers intercepting juicy conversations
in this manner. Now comes the kineto-
graph, Edlson's latest contribution.

the possibilities nnfolded by the inven-

the reader suppose that every act of

CORRUPT POLITICS.

Speaking of tho corrupt practices in
the North Dakota legislature, the Even
ing Post says:
The Republicans had a majority Of the
members of this body. and vet they
failed 10 elect a Republican senator.
while the choice of a Democrat is al
legged to have been secured bv the
bribery Of some of the Republicans who
voted for HIM. The Fargo Argus de-
clares that 1T was about the most
shameless, venal legislative BODY that
ever convened in one of the states of the
Union, and 1t endorses the charge made
by men who were on the ground that
votes for United States senator were
openly bought. Indeed. it saws that
Legislators not only sold their votes. hut
sold them over and over again. some
bargains being made not only for one
ballot, some for an hour. some for a dav,
and some for varying periods. There
seems to have been = tacitIv organized
scheme To pluck candidates. aud the
Argus says shat many members took
home with them mere money than they
ever saw before IN their lives. Such les
timOnv Of home witnesses furnish an
additional reason for thorough investi-
CATION by the senate into the choice OF
Mr.. Roach II that body.

Lewelling and his crowd have again
shown the cloven foot. After openly
siding with the Santa lie strikers III the
pending contest they had the gall to ask
managers of the company to furnish
transportation, free, for lot OF men
who refused to work for the company.
But this was not the meanest part of the
performance. The state officials gave a
copy of the written request they made
of the railroad people 10 the local papers
and it was published before in was sent
10 the managers of the road. Why this
was done IS ditficult 10 imagine, unless
1t was to influence public sentiment in
the community and thus in some meas
ure coerce the managers into compliance
with the request. OF course the con-
temntible trick failed.

WHILE nothing seems to be known
here about the insurance on the Milo
vera, it is to be hoped that there is
enough of it to save the Canadian
company from any Gripping loss. Our
people are generally interested in the
welfare of the new line, not only be-
cause it has opened up fresh marke,
for their products, but for the reason
that it is means of relief from an
arrogant sea going monopoly. From
the nature of its connections, the Van
couver company can hardly be bought
off from doing Hawaiian business, and
this is a good reason why the people Of
the Islands should sustain and encour
age it. The STAR congratulates the
Government for having been of financia
service to the Miowera's owners in the
present emergency.

lirely overlooked, and am sure that
he must have done SO unintentionally,
is the sugar yield Of the Hawaiian
The average yield per
acre in cane sugar growing countries is
two tons, perhaps hardly that. But on
the Hawaiian Islands plantations yields
have been known of ten tons per acre,
frequently eight tons, and very often
six tons, while the average for all plan
tations will exceed three tons. This
shows a much larger incoming for Ha
W ian cane sugar plantation than tor
those of other countries, point upon
which Mr.. Spreckels has been strangely
silent while talking SO much about the
outgoings.
This only serves to strengthen my
opinion of Mr. SpreckeIs as a business
man. He has an eye to the main
chance. Now as to Mr.. Theophlus

of the Canadian Pacific Company has
been merely of nominal value. But

than on American railroads, and by

BLAINE ON HAWAII.

The following words were penned by
our late Secretary OF States, James G.
Blaine, as far back as 1881, III COM
munication to the American Minister
to Hawaii, Mr.. James M. Comfy
"Hawai is a part Of the productive and
commercial system of the American States.
SO far as the staple growth and imports Of the
islands go, the reciprocity treaty makes them
practically members Of an American Zolver-
elm, an outlying district of the State of Cali
fornia."
In the same document Mr.. Blaine
referred to Hawaiian independence,
saying that it entirely depends on the
perpetuity Of the rule of the native race
as an independent government, and
that imperilled, the whole framework
of our relations to Hawaii is changed,
if not destroyed" 1t can only be des-
troyed by a perpetuation of misrue
under the domination of Mr.. Claus
Spreckels, who seems to think that his
interests are greater than those of the
United States.
Again Mr. BLAINE:
THE decline of the native Hawaiian element
in the presence of newer and sturdier growths,
must be accepted as an inevitable fact, in view
of the teachings of chronological history. And
as retrogression in the development OF the ISL
ands cannot be admitted without serious detri-
ment to American interests in the North Pac-
hc, the problem of replenishment of the
vital forces of Hawaii presents itself for solu-
ton in an American sense, not in an Asiatic or
a British sense"
Could Mr. Blaine have foreseen
the unholy alliance between Mr.. Spreck
els and Mr.. Theophilus Davies, the
representative of British trade interests
and the agent of the Canadian Pacific
system, how he would have lashed
these British Chinese schemers into
subsection
Once more Mr. Blaine
"There is little doubt that were the Hawa-
iian Islands, by annexation or distinct protec-
ton, part of the territory Of the Union, their
fertile resources for the growth Of rice and
sugar would not only be controlled by Ameri-
can capital, but so profitable field OF labor
would attract intelligent workers thither from
the United States"
Mr.. Blaine would have suppressed
this Chinese slave colony, and would
have made the islands attractive to in
telligent American workers. = Ne7e

GIVE THE LAD A LIFT.

is unkind enough to sheer at little
Louis Morningstar, the twelve year-old
globe.trotter, whom this paper, at the
instance of one of the editors of the
San Francisco Chronicle, has brought
to the favorable notice Of the citizens
of Honolulu. To gratuitously hurt the
feelings of a bright and honest lad who
has travelled the world alone and by
the exercise of native wit since he was
a child of eight, is an act from which a
gentleman would recoil. Morningstar
is boy of talent, integrity and enter
prise whom people in many countries
have been glad to encourage and
assist We should like to have him
take away none but pleasant memories
of his visit here, and that he may do SO
the late Queen and Mrs. Skerrctt have
shown him friendly hospitality and set
an example to all others. Though he
has not spoken Of the matter, nor asked
for aid, the way is open for getting him
a new suit of clothes, hat and some
fresh linen-all of which he seems to
need, and which will be procured for
him with such small contributions Of
cash as may be sent in trust to the

THE ECLIPSE IN HISTORY.


About four hundred years ago an
eclipse in this latitude like that which
occurred yesterday was the means of
saving Christopher Columbus and his
crew from death by starvation. The
natives of one of the West India
Islands had refused to bring food to
the discoverers, and the latter we're too
worn and i'll to go in search of it.
Knowing that an eclipse was to occur,
Columbus threatened that unless food
was brought him the anger of his God
would darken the source of day. The
natives tested, but the darkness came,
and after that there was no lack of pro-
vision for the strangers from the East.
A useful book might be written upon
the historic influence Of the eclipse in
all countries. Possibly the phenomenon
which Columbus made such cunning
use of was the means of saving to
mankind the vast results of his eXpe-
dition to the new world, thus giving
civilization its widest heritage and lib
erty its long. sought refuge and asylum.
Progress, though fostered by this event,
has, nevertheless, been hindered by the
effect of the same phenomenon on I'M
tutored minds. Astrology held sway for
centuries because Of the fear inspired by
the comets that blazed in space and
the eclipses that blackened the discs Of
the great heavenly bodies and the
widest superstitions still cluster in
savage countries about the origin and
cause of both these manifestations Of
Divine law and power. Religious
history, secular history and the annals
of scientific progress give frequent
illustration Of the constructive or de-
structive effect of eclipses upon various
phases of human development; and as
for mythology, it is permeated with the
tradition and influence of such events
as came to pass yesterday in SO COM
monplace a fashion, as if for the
passing amusement OF people
with bits of smoked glass and for the
pleasure of mathematical astronomers
who took pride in the accuracy of their
calculations.
The eclipse cut great figure in the
early history Of the Orient, and some
one of its political legacies may be seen
in the design of the Chinese banner
which, on gala days, is displayed
over the housetops Of Honolulu.
A great dragon is reaching up to swal,
low a red ball. The sphere represents
the sun or moon-perhaps elther-and
the scaly beast of prey is the phantom
which the Chinese conjured up to &C
count for what seemed to be the OK
preston of physical contest between
the powers of the air. Undoubtedly,
said the Manchurian sages, the sun IS
being swallowed by some mighty crea-
ture like the lizards of the stream that
gulp down wild fowl and the bodies Of
children; and, as that childish fancy
grew, it gave symbol to an empire and
inspired the literature and religious
contemplatlons Of great part of the
human race.
Five thousand years of history have
been swayed, influenced, even moulded
and governed by phenomenon so
simple that the nineteenth century child
understands it and turns from it to play
