THE minister of finance has
stated that inside of ten years, with
ordinary business care, the rents
from government lands can be made
to pay three times what they do at
present. Much of it is now under
lease at fabulously low rates to the
pets of ex-royalty. Many of these
leases are even now expiring, so
that the governments income is
increasing all the time. With an
nexation or stable government, this
revenue would greatly increase
with the increase of land values,
and by the time the bulk of the
government bonds become due
there would be, after payment of
them, a handsome surplus to ex-
pend on public works and improve
ments.

THE CIRCUIT COURT.
a Prominent RoyaIisf Sued For
an Old Debf-Jury Secured
in the Herring Murder
Trial

Hopp & Co. have brought suit in
the circuit court against Samuel
Parker for goods, wares and mer-
chandise bought on or before Feb
ruary 2Sth, 1898. The bill is for
almost every kind of household
furniture, bought and rented by
Mr.. Parker between October 9th,
1891, and February 2Sth, 1898.
In the matter of the bankruptcy
of A. l.. Cron the final receipt has
been filed.
The Herring murder trial was
commenced at 1920 esterday
morning. Much difficulty was ex.
perienced in procuring a native
jury qualified to sit on the case
and it was not until BIO PM. that
the task was accomplished. After
the jury were sworn the prosecu-
ton commenced the introduction
of testimony. 1t is expected the
case will be a tedious one.

THE HERALD's CORRESPONDENT.

Mr.. Charles Nordhoff, the now
notorious correspondent of the New
York Herald, has been at his dirty
work again. Mr.. Nordhoff has used
nearly five thousand words to prove
to the Hawaiian public he is an I'M
truthful and INSCRIPTIONS cores
pondent of a paper that has long
had the unenviable reputation of
ordering its correspondence to
agree with policy outlined with
out reference to the facts.
In fact it is reported of Mr.. Nord-
hoff that he has stated to private
persons here, in order to ward off
the burst of popular indignation
which his first batch of misrepre-
sentations produced, that he was
simply fulfilling the orders of his
paper in following the course he
has. Should Mr.. Nordhoff deny
this statement he will convict him.
self of journalistic infamy; should
he admit it by his silence, he will
emphasize the fact that he is
the hired traducer of American
Interests here and of the annexa-
ton cause, which embraces the
very existence of good government
and future prosperity in Hawaii.
Mr.. Nordhoff's letter is capable
of complete refutation as far as
facts are concerned. This it shall
have in due time. Mr.. Nordhofi
has a perfect right to be royalist,
but he has no right to follow the
methods he has in an attempt to
prove his case by perverting the
facts of history and deriding men
and principles worthy of at least
honest and gentlemanly considera.

HISTORICAL SOCIETY.
Interesting Paper Read by DR..
Emerson.

Emerson.
A good-sized audience attended
the meeting of the Hawaiian His
torical Society last night at the Y.
M. G.. A. hall, for the purpose of
listening to paper on "The long
voyages of the ancient Hawaiians. !"
by DR.. n. B. Emerson. The read
ing of the paper was listened to
with much interest.
The fact that the paper gives the
results of the doctors researches
among the pedigrees, customs and
traditions of the ancient Hawaiians
extending over a period of twenty
one generations before the first
Kamehameha, or to a period COM
mencing some time in the twelfth
century, will give some idea of the
labor expended upon it's prepare
ton. The lecture will in all prob
ability be published in pamphlet
form by the society in due course
of time.

following, from the Washington
Star, confirms the above and also
the selection then of Col. Blount to
be his successor. We understand
also that the later accepts it very
reluctantly and only temporarily,
as he also plans to return to Wash
ington soon.
The resignation of Mr.. John l.. Ste
yens as United States minister to Ha-
wall has been on file at the state
department for some time. Therefore
the officials feel no surprise at his ex-
pressed purpose of coming home next
month, especially as he has been prac-
tically relieved of all diplomatic au-
thority and responsibility on the
islands since the arrival there of Com
missioner Blount with plenary and
discretionary power, paramount to
that of the minister on all questions
affecting the present delicate relations
of the two countries. Mr.. Stevens
successor will be selected soon after
the president returns from Chicago,
aud whether it will be Mr.. Blount or
some one else remains to be seen.
Although it has been repeatedly
stated that Mr.. Blount will not be APP
pointed minister to Hawaii, there are
good reasons for the belief that the
selection will fall on him the prin-
cipal being his superior knowledge of
the Presidents views in regard to the
questions at issue and the further fact
that his appointment would result in
no interruption in our diplomatic
representation on the islands.

CERTAIN royalist newspapers
claim not to understand the mean
ing of some of the facts and figures
presented lately in the ADVERTISER.
The royalist editors may be some
what obtuse, but the intelligent
reading public of Hawaii finds no
difficulty in comprehension. For
instance, if we state that the total
assets of the government on March
31st were $7,815,OOO, and the
liabilities on the same date were
1925, 300, and claim the govern
ment is solvent as long as it keeps
within its present income, none but
a royalist will have any trouble in
knowing just what is meant.

THE AMERICAN LEGATION.

The statement which has been
published that Mr.. Stevens has
been recalled is not correct. He
sent his resignation to Washington
in October last, during President
Harrison's administration, and
again sent it to President Cleve-
land, and it was acknowledged with
q request that he would remain
here till a successor might be ap-
pointed. This he declined to do,
as all his arrangements had been
completed and his wife's health
forbade any change in them. The

The advantage to be gained
by the use Of superior oils in
lubricating the machinery in
mills and steamships, has been
demonstrated times without
number, but it has not always
been possible here to secure
the quality necessary.
After months of careful
study and research, we put on
this market year ago the
now celebrated brands of
Colorado Mineral Oils" which
almost instantly jumped into
popular favor. The high price
of lard oil places it beyond the
reach of most consumers, and
practical men who have tried
the Colorado" Oils, pronounce
them superior in quality to any
other in use and answering all
purposes to which lard oil is
put. We confidently recon-
mend these Oils to any person
in charge of machinery, no
matter how finely constructed
or how intricate. We keep
always in stock Cylinder,
Engine, Dynamo and Mineral
Castor, and can supply con-
sumers in large or small
quantities.
Three orders for Hendry
Breakers last week adds to the
popularity of that implement
of agriculture; it's strength and
lightness of draught is what
sells it, the latter feature
making it possible to do work
with fewer mules or horses
than ever before. 1t saves
stock and it saves time, two
important items in the life OF
the plantation manager. Time
is money in these times and
must be saved by every one
who wants to get on III this
world. We believe the Hen
dry" to be the best Breaker on
earth. Suppose you try one,
just to see if you can agree
with us.

The New Lessees.

The lease of the Grand opera
house, now held by the Mullaly
Brothers and Tcndick, expires in
June next, and it now transpires
that the directors of the San AntO-
Mo club and opera house have leased
the opera house for a term of five
years, to George Walker, manager
of the fremont opera house, Gal
weston, and to W. {. Rigsby, the
International and Great Northern
ticket agent.
Mr.. Walker is one of the veteran
managers of Texas, who knows
how to run a show, and work it in
a mutually satisfactory way all
around, and therefore there is good
reason to believe that the new
management will be in every way
successful one.
