ROY'S SPORTING TALK.

One of the most notable characters Of
that portion of the colored race who
follow race horses from place to place
for livelihood, is the-peculiar nomen-
clature. No one is exempt from this
wholesale nicknaming and the name
selected fastens itself on one with a
perEanency that defies even old Firth
er Time. In most cases the names are
of a racy character, Jay-Eye-See
earned his name probably some time
ago when Dame Fortune had been es-
pecially bountiful in her gifts and he set
a ''ratling" pace in consequence.
polo" Jim because he was the grooms-
man for the swell New Workers, Polo

probably because he is such prime IA
vorite with the ladies. One young fel-
low is known as Jay Gould" for the
reason that he carried around in his

amount of the ''coin of the realm"

cause he has ''done" his man on more
than one occasion, and was naturally

THE HIGH SCHOOL,

In the reorganization of the
committees of the board of trustees
of the District Of Columbia, Hon.
b. K. Bruce has been reappointed
a member of the committee on high
and normal schools, and at the
same time promoted to the chairs
mansbip of the committee on rules.
This is a recognition of the
services of a faithful and efficient
school officer and a command to
said officer to put an end to the
chickering's, petty jealousies and
quarrels which have, ever since the
establishment of the high school
been rife In that institution.
1t is guarantee that the board
OF school directors will supr ort
Trustee Bruce in any legitimate
measure which it may be necessary
for him to take to suppress the
aforesaid evils.
We desire to say to Trustee
Bruce on behalf of the people of
this District, that he must not hes.
itate to use the knife on those who
are responsible for the disgraceful
condition of affairs at the high
school.
What is most needed out there
is grand bounce. Will Trustee
Bruce hesitate longer?

OPEN LETTER TO THE
PRESIDENT.

Mr.. President: There are a
number of American citizens who
who have the most implicit conf /:
dence in you and believe that you
are right on the Hawaiian question.
OF course there are people who for
partisan reasons believe that Mr..
Harrison was right. The same
confidence that Mr.. Harrison plac-
ed in his minister, Mr.. Stevens, are
similar to that You placed in your
special commissioner. Mr.. Blount.
There is division Of opinion, but
On the face of the returns ] am of
the opinion that you have done
your duty, as you see it.
The people are tired of the ques :
ton, Mr.. President, especially the
negro democrats. They believe that
you ought to turn your attention
for awhile to negro democ, attic ap:
pointments.
The followers of the late Bishop
j. M. Brown are surprised that you
have not rewarded the services that
the late bishop rendered, to have
recognized his oldest son, Prof w.
L. Brown, before now.
l congratulate you Mr.. President
on you political stroke of ipolicy
in sending white men to colored
governments and colored men to
white governments. If con6rma.
tions are going to work as slowly as
that of Ashwoods and TayIers', the
colored democrats would prefer to
have the same old thing. They are
about convinced that departure.
so far as they are concerned, is to
their detriment. 1t Is admitted that
you are far ahead Of your party and
party supporters, but it does seem
strange that nothing has been done
for the boys before now.
You are aware, no doubt, Mr..
President, that it has been almost
a year and the unwashed colored
democrats are still lingering in the
cold.
Our friend, G. q. j. Taylor is in
Kansas, Mr.. President. telling the
people that you are the greatest
man since the reign of julius Cea
sar. He is perfectly satisfied with
what you have done for him, and
should you not give him anything
else Mr.. Taylor is too much of a
democrat to kick. Christmas was a
beautiful day and there Is no doubt
but tnau quite a number ofstockings
were hung up the night before
Christmas to be taken down empty.
Before 1 close, Mr.. President, lie
me call your attention to the wortht
mess of Hon. John W. Ross, one OF
the commissioners Of the District OF
Columbia. Col. Ross is gentle
man, Mr.. President, aud map in
whom the people of this district have
the most implicit aonfdence. His
reappolntment would meet the
hearty Endorsement of the people,
as we'll as. it would be benefit to
the district.
Wishing you happy New Year,
believe me to be, sincerely yours,

PRESIDENT CLEVELAND.

Pres ident Grover Cleveland is a
remarkable man. he is one of
those characters which a nation
provides at long intervals. He is
a man of sterling integrity and
marked individuality. Friends and
foes, democrats and republicans,
allie concede to him, that force OF
character which necessarily makes
lasting impression upon the
times in which he is an actor.
While a democrat, he is not a
follower, but leader of his party
he does not receive instructions
from the superanuated leaders OF
his party, but blazes the way and
invites them to follow.
In the recent discussion of the
silver question he declared for uu.
conditional repeal and he got it,
Notwithstanding the threats of
party bullles and the persuasive
methods of courtiers.
In the Hawaiian business he
showed the same spartan courage
But more emphaticalIy has be ex>
hiblted his independence of party
dictation in filing the offices within
his gift. At a single blow he
struck down the pernicious system
that has fastened itself upon the
country of setting apart certain
Offices for colored men and certain
other offices for white men. He
has taught the country that be-
cause colored man happened to
hold certain Office that it does
not follow that such Office must be
held by colored men to the end OF
time.
He has taught colored men
themselves that their aspirations
need not be limited to certain POSI-
tions under the government, but
like other American citizens they
might seek preferment in any
branch of the service. In this he
has rendered the colored American
citizen great service by broaden
ing the horizon of his actions and
making him more tolerent in polls
tics.
If now the United States Senate
fails to share the progressive spirit
Of the President, then all the worst

not do more than make appoint.
ments; it is no fault of his if they
are not confirmed.
Certain senators gravely mistake
the character of Mr.. Cleveland
when they attempt to control his
action by indicating that if he will
appoint colored men to certain Off
ces named by them, such appoints
ments will be confirmed otherwise
not.
Mr.. Cleveland is not that sort of
a man, in fact. threats of any char.
acter are impotent to move him one

The Hawaiian gazette. [volume] (Honolulu [Oahu, Hawaii]) 1865-1918, 1893-10-03

The fact that Mr.. Spreekels' Ha-
waiian organ announces he has
never been defeated will serve to
remind the taxpayers of these isl
ands he was quite severely de-
feated when the Provisional gov
eminent paid him his due bills
amounting to $4,000 several
months ago. Perhaps Mr.. Spreck-
els will emphasize his defeat by
publishing further interviews fur
nished by himself or his son in
the papers of the United States, as
he, or they, wend their way to
Washington to fight annexation.
Nothing is to be said against the
Spreckels firm, as represented in
Honolulu, but when it comes to
the older Spreckels and annexation
that's different.

Undoubtedly western civiliza-
ton" is thing easily met accord
ing to our royalist friends, but the
meeting is always conveniently
avoided by eastern civilization,
especially when the occasion pre-
sents itself in Pacific waters. If a
slight encouragement could be
given the politicians who are buck
ing western civilization in Hawaii
it would doubtless be taken advan-
tage of-provided the colonel in
command could stand behind a
stone wall or get a convenient
passport by the next vessel out
ward bound.

NOTES AND COMMENTS.

Our royalist friends claim they
cannot possibly understand how
Admiral Skerrett can allow the
officers Of the Boston to go to the
ball given at the executive build
ing last week. Well, the only ex-
PLANTATION that is necessary is that
Admiral Skerrett is an American
officer and citizen, and does not
feel any conjunction in returning
the ordinary courtesies of the world
rendered the officers of the Boston
by the citizens of Hawaii, large
proportion of whom are either
Americans directly or Americans
by descent. 1t is not at all strange
that royalists, being mostly non
Americans, should look through
the glass of western civilization
darby.
