At the Fair Yostcrlay-The Matter Will
BE Tested In tho Courts,
CHICAGO, May THE rule to close
the gates OF the Worlds Fair Sunday,
was rigidly enforced to-day at least so
far as the ticket purchasing public was
concerned. Tho fortunate hundreds
who held passes were admitted, how.
ever, and allowed to wander about the
grounds ut will. 1t was beautiful
day, and thousands Of workingmen,
some Of them with their families, went
TO the fair grounds under the impress
sion that the gates were to be opened.
And when these toilers were turned
away they left in anything but q good
humor. II was highly aggravating to
see the favored hundreds, even thou
sands, enter the ground on passes
while they who worked all week were
excluded.
The validity Of the law OF Congress
closing the gates is to be tested in the
courts this week. Charles w. Cling
man, who is stoCkholder in the Fair,
has served notice on Secretary Ed
monds that he will appeal to the courts
to open the Fair on Sunday. In his
letter he, in the interest OF the working
people, and as q representative OF other
stockholders demanded that the people
be admitted Sunday the same rs overy
other day in the week. II demand
this" continued he, mot only for my
interest financially rs stoCkholdor,
but more especially for tho people who
could not sec tho exposition on any
other day except Sunday. Having made
this demand OH you in writing, ! have

attorney who will commence legal pro.

The Provisional Government Loan.
EDITOR BuILETlN:--

EDITOR B1LLETiN:--
During the present stage of affairs,
when the country is being run by a
clique of self-appointed patriots, it
goos without saying, that there is no
use in going abroad to endeavor to
float the proposed Hawaiian S750,00O
loan, The z. G.. have accordingly
tried to raise tho wind here, and in
their present attempt to launch part
of the loan, it is evidently the inten-
tion of our despotic rulers, i'll case
they should not succeed in getting
the loan taken up locally at the
price fixed by the act of the Hawai-
ian Legislature, to sell tho bonds at
a discount. That it is the design of
the =. c. to act in this manner may
be gathered from the hint given out
by Mr. Damon in the council meet
ing held short time ago.
Now how much percent discount
or commission they will be forced to
allow in order to dispose of the
bonds is, at present, like the liberal
discount at which }. T. Waterhouse
states he offered to sell his Hawaiian
bonds, an unknown quantity. But
! should the L. G. attempt to dispose
/ OF the bonds at any figure that suits
them. say at from 10 percent to 70
| percent discount, then the taxpayers
in general throughout the islands
! ought to offer up an emphatic pro-
test against any such transaction.
! In other words, if this kind of finan-
cering is permitted, the taxpayers
/ will De called on to pay interest for
a number of years ON sums of money
! for which they have never received
full value TO begin with, and after
wards, when the loans mature, will
have to repay to the lender the full
face value OF the bonds. The pre-
seut time is certainly not a proper
one ior provisional government,
which relies for its revenues on the
selling of specimen sets Of postage
stamps to tourists, to saddle the
counUry with a debt running for "a
years. Another point not to be lost
sight of, is that the money, that was
10 nave been raised under the Loan
Act Of last Legislature, was to be
expended on internal improvements.
What guarantees, however, does the
present irresponsible government Of
Ter to lenders that any sums raised
under the P. G.. act will bc spent on
improving the country? The pre-
sent council being elected by nobody,
is responsible to nobody for its
deeds, and it may by subsequent
act coolly divert the money from its
original purpose and waste it in
supporting its armed mercenaries
or 1ritter it away in some equally
unremunerative fashion.

"l'or forms of faith
Let graceiess bigots fight"

applies very we'll to forms of gov
ernment. There is probably not a
member of the p. G. who, if not re-
stricted in choice, would not prefer
residence or citizenship under con-
stitutional monarchy in England or
Germany to that of the republics of
Hayti or Guatemala. The trouble
in Hawaii has not been from the
encroachments of monarchy, but
from the impudent demands and
pretensions of the combination led
by the 'Planters' Labor and Supply
Co." Hardly any two of its mem
bers could agree upon any one sub
ject apart from that of their own
personal and corporate demands
upon successive legislatures, and the
public purse. But whenever they
do agree there, their unanimity is
wonderful!
Witness the appropriations which
this cormorant corporation has
demanded and obtained during the
many years of its existence for "as-
sisting immigration" and the pay of
inspectors, etc, every cent of which
has been expended in importing
coolies for their plantations, the
said coolies being on expiration OF
the.r contracts turned loose in order
TO freeze out the native and white
laborer and mechanic and drive the
American and his family to other
shores, as the census proves. By an
irony of fate this same policy is now
the chief barrier to our admission to
the Union, the United States having
enough Of cOoiie races and to spare
a glance at our recent session
laws would be conclusive as to tie
capacity and disposition OF some ol
our saccharine legislators to recon
cile themselves to the free labor
Legislation OF the United States
even if We did not know that the p
u. commissioners went to Washing
ton asking for the perpetuation OF
their couiIc labor laws. Has anyone

the infamous "Pactolus" act of 1890
drawn up by one of the commits
