1t is not our purpose to discuss
at present the substance of Mr..
Neumann's political plea for re-
hearing of the ex-queen's case be-
fore a popular native jury further
than to say that the propositions
made by him in his letter cannot
possibly come up until the question
of annexation, raised through the
Provisional government, is settled
either one way or the other by the
action of the United States. The
question which Mr.. Neumann asks
with owl-like absurdity, as to
whether President Dole, his col
leagues and partisans, believe that
q government established under the
circumstances under which this
government was created
can be permanently maintained,
is sufficiently and fully answered
by referring the learned lawyer and
political fee-taker to the adjective
provisional, " which, from its or
ganization, has qualified the pres
ent government.

That a large portion Of the spe-
eial plea of the ex-queen's late
political counsel is made up of
assertions, not borne out by the
facts of the last six months of Ha-
waiian history, is not unexpected.
The fact is that, without 2 large
number Of unsustained assertions,
the royalist cause cannot be suffi-
GENTLY bolstered to make it present
able TO the public gaze. 1t is quite
plain that Mr.. Neumann has taken
the present occasion to set forth all
the royalist arguments, he used so
unsuccessfully at Washington, I'M
der the guise of advice to the
Provisional government as to
how they shall proceed in
obtaining good government in
Hawaii, which the ex-queen, Mr..
Neumann and his political friends
signally failed to give the people
of these islands. Nay, more if
they had the power they would
break down the present political
reforms and turn Hawaii over
again to the tender mercies of the
ex-queen, the political boodlers
and the lottery swindlers.

There is no guess work about
these figures; they are all of record
and constitute plain statement of
the investments by nationalities in
the bulk of our commercial and
agricultural industries up to date.
Out of thirty-seven millions, Amer
leans and Hawaiian-born Amer
leans represent over twenty-six
million dollars while pure Ha-
waiians are represented with a
paltry ninety thousand dollars,
which, added to the investments of
half-castes, barely suffices to raise
the amount to half million dol
lars.
These figures are in exact keep
ing with the statements published
in this paper heretofore, that the
native Hawaiian pays less than
one-seventh of the taxes, owns not
more than sixteenth of the land
of the islands, while, up to the
present time, he has held two
thirds of the paid offices under the
At the same time it
must not be forgotten that the ma
tives represent 70 per cent. of the
voters, and have proved themselves
at all points of carrying
out an enlightened and progressive
system of government, such as the
of our island civiliza-
ton now imperatively demands.

FACTS AND FIGURES.

The three tables laid before the
councils short time ago by Minis
ter Damon are, upon careful per-
u@l, strongly suggestive that the
material interests and large invest
ments held almost exclusively by
foreigners, chiefly American resi-
dents in Hawaii, must cut pro-
minent and decided figure in the
settlement of the future form of
government for these islands. The
tables referred to do not represent
the entire wealth of the country,
but such large proportion of it
that conclusions drawn therefrom
viii be approximately correct and
applicable to the whole Of the
vested interests of Hawaii.
Space win only allow a general
summary of the totals of these
clear and suggestive tables but
even such statement carries on
its face food for political as well as
financial thought. Each table is
complete in itself, and, for the sake
of brevity, viii be summarized so
as to place the results Immediately
before the eye.
The first table contains detailed
list of Hawaiian sugar plantation
corporations, showing the invest
ments therein, together with the
nationality of stockholders in each
company. The table was compiled
during the month of June, 1893,
from the latest official returns.
This table represents forty sugar
companies, with capital stock ag-
gregating $28, 800, of which
$27, 1864, 29O has been issued. The
following is a summary of amounts
invested by nationalities;

The second table contains a de-
tailed statement embracing forty
three Hawaiian corporations, other
than sugar plantations, showing
the amounts of the investments
with the nationality of the stock
holders. This table represents the
bulk of the mercantile interests of
the Hawaiian islands, represented
by capital stock of $6,150,705, of
which $5,S77, 400 has been issued.

Mr.. Robert w. Wilcox, the typi-
cal native Hawaiian politician, hit
himself 'bat in the other eye" in
Mondays Bulletin. Mr.. Wilcox
is very like Papa Nordhoff, he has
put his foot in royalist mud and
keeps it there to avoid raising the
general Singer which would follow
its removal. The only difference
between Papa and Robert is that
the former gets well paid for his
absurdities and the latter does not.
The occupation of the old palace
by the Provisional government has
broken the political tabn in Ha-
waii forever. It cannot be restored
by the royalists-try they ever so
hard.

She Kissed the Negro.

In :sOld Vienna" one of the most at
tractive features of Midway plaisance, a
strange incident was noticed. A native
Of Abyssinia had entered the restaurant
and was seated at one of the tables. He
was tall and well formed. His hair fell
in ringlets upon his shoulders. He was
young and handsome, but black asnight.
Presently "a pretty little Viennese wait
ing maid tripped up to where he sat,
reached down and gave him a rousing
kiss. There was great laughter all
around, and the handsome darby also
laughed, for he enjoyed the joke fully.
1t seems that the waiting maid had been
challenged by a party of American visit
ors to kiss the swarthy stranger. She
accepted the challenge and won So
thereby.
No woman who had lived any length
of time in this country would have done
that thing. The Viennese girl seemed to
have no suspicion Of any indelicacy in
the act, and the fact that the victim to
her pleasantly was a negro gave the adj
venture, in her opinion, all the more
spice.
No one who goes to Europe from this
country can fail to be startled by the
seemingly special favor in which the ne
gro is held abroad. We do not wonder
that the negro likes life in England, Ger
many and France. We are not surprised
to read in the dispatches that negro
jockeys are offering their services free,
provided English turflnen will pay their
transportation to England and board
them while there. In Europe the negro
is petted. He enjoys privileges hardly
accorded to Caucasian visitors. And
womankind there simply dotes upon
him.-Chicago Record.

A Stranger In the Land.

The refusal of the house of commons
to adjourn over Derby day recalled a
story related of one Of the Roman Cath
olic peers who took their seats some four
or five years before the passage of the
first reform bill after an exclusion of a
century and a half. He gave notice that
on certain day he would make a GER
tain motion, whereupon there arose from
his noble colleagues a general cry of
"Derbyr The astonished novice named
another day, only to be greeted with an
equally unanimous expostulation of
"Oaksr' AT this he explained that he
would have to ask the forgiveness of
their lordships, but having been educat-
ed abroad he was forced to acknowledge
that he was not familiar with the list of
saints days in the Anglican calendar

The telotype, or electrical typewriter,
has been designed to meet the require
ments of a rapid and reliable printing
telegraph instrument, which has long
been needed. This instrument is ma
nipulated very much in the same way as
o typewriter The transmitter as well
as the receiver makes a copy of the mes
sage, and the liability of mistakes is
thus largely decreased. The instruments
work in unison, and it is impossible to
send message from one machine unless
the corresponding machine at the end of
the distant line is properly receiving.
The record is plainly printed on the strip
of moving paper in front of the operator.
The same instrument can send and re-
ceive.-New York Telegram.

Away with the Dress Coat.

The dress coat of the "kellner" is
shortly to disappear from the lead
ing Swiss hotels, so that it will no
longer be possible to confound the
waiter with guests. At a recent
meeting of the union of hotelkeepers
the question was solemnly debated
whether it was not practicable to
c!othe the waiter in more rational
dress than the hitherto obligatory
swallow-tail. The precedent for such
"a resolution has already been set in
Germany. A few months ago the
Deutsche Gastwirths @ band offered
a prize for the best example Of con-
venient dress for the waiter. The
design accepted was tailess jacket
Goppe) of dark blue cloth after the
fashion of the stewards uniform on
board ships. This has met with a
wide approval in the profession and
it is already adopted by the kellner
in many of the large Geraan towns.

a wonderful INDIAN Plant.

In India | once witnessed q most
remarkable phosphoric light issue
from a giant flower called ~ natives
-. ed swar." The flower was nearly
six inches in diameter and OF deep
red color, but with yeilowish petals.
My attention was called TO the lum-
nous radiations of this beautiful
plant by guide, and we used TO visit
the garden every morning two hours
before sunrise to observe this fascin-
ating spectacle. This was during
the months of July and August. The
light, although most brilliant in the
early morning hours, could also be
discerned during twilight, but not
after total darkness came on. This
led me to believe that the light was
not admitted from the flower itself,
but that it was reflected. TO de-
termine this | placed one of the
flowers in a perfectly dark. that is,
light tight room, where | knew the
air to be perfectly dark, and not the
faintest spark could be seen. This
might have been caused by the
broken stem, but am OF the opinion
that the light was reflected, as it
was quite intense and could be
seen at a distance of several feet.
When viewed closely the petal re-
sembled a miniature incandescent
electric lamp. Chicago Inter-Ocean.

Folk Songs Show the II bits, Beliefs
and Feeling. Of Ages.
In the folk songs of the different
nations OF the world men of science
will one day recognize a body OF
evidence OF great value in the study
OF popular origins, racial relation=,
primitive modes of thought, ancient
customs, antique religions and many
other things which make up the
study OF ethnology, says writer in
the Musical Herald. These folk
songs are the echoes Of the heart of
the vast, vague, Irresistible people.
In them are crystallized habits,
beliefs and feelings of unspeakable
antiquity; yet not in the words of
the song alone Study of folk song
text is only half study; indeed, il is
study of the lesser half of the subject
in request OF truthfulness. The
words OF the peoples songs are a
record of exteruals chiefly, and very
often they were only half truths II
we would know the whole story
which their creators put into them,
consciously or unconsciously,w must
near also Jne music.
AS the term implies, the folk song
is the product of a people; and a
people do not lie. Music is an es-
sential element of it. and music not
only does mott cannot lie. The
things which are at the bottom of
music, without which it could not be,
are unconscious human products.

powerfully moved we cannot conceal
the fact if we open our. mouths for
