He found no difficuty-iR- getting

recalled the overheard gossip, sensi-
lively, as he went about his prepare
tions. Lieutenant Palmer had gone
on leave of absence to visit his aged
father in New Hampshire. Lyons,
always on intimate visiting terms at
Mrs. Palmer's apartments, went there
more than ever, during Palmer's alb
sence. Flossie was much attached to
him She was rather weakly, and
was the object of her mothers tender
est solicitude. Every day, Lyons was
to be seen, in the handsomest turnout
he afforded himself, with Mrs Palmer
and Flossie, out for an airing. OF
course. comment was to be expected,
at the fort. but Lyons was quite I'M
prepared for the malicious remarks
that met his ear accidentally. He
knew he was no favorite, that the
officers called him foppish, because he
had the means to indulge tastes and
faneies that they were forced to sup
press. and that he was considered a
fiirt among the ladies, but all this was
triAing, compared with hearing his
name linked with that of his friend 5
wife, in dishonorable fashion.
He decided to slip away without
goodbye, without even sending a
note. Too many notes had passed the
last few weeks. He knew now that
every movement was watched, that
prying servants had become suspicious
and the consciousness of his own SEN

DIED AT HIS POST.

The death of the gallant detec
tive, Kauhane, whose years of faith
full service have been ended by &
death which was caused by nothing
but fidelity to duty, will be re
ceived with heartfelt regret all over
the Islands. Hawaiian qualities
appear at their very best in cases
like these. and we rejoice to say
that they are by no means rare.
The subscription opened by the
ADVERTISER yesterday morning for
the wounded men is still open, and
it is hoped the public will cordially
respond to a claim which has so
just title to their sympathies.

CORRESPONDENCE.
Another Letter From Mr.. ]. n
ViVas.

Mr.. EDITOR M. A. Gonsalves
at the meeting of the Portuguese
Political League last Sunday very
strongly denied S. NJ. Damon's re-
mark that japanese were not Asiat-
les, and said that if necessary the
Portuguese would take up arms
against Asiatic immigration. How
can he face Mr.. Damon at a meet
ing of the American League after
roasting him at the Portuguese
Patriotic League meeting, which
League he is trying to break up
only for the reason of being a pres
ident of something. AS regards
my being "a head without BODY"
as the Bulletin says, next Sunday
we'll tell the tale at the Portuguese
Political League meeting.

Gus ofense, we may as well repeal
our criminal laws, close our courts
and empty our jails. Why punish
some obscure person for stealing a
pound of nails, or smuggling an
ounce of opium, if an offense
against the life of the State has
been committed and allowed to go
unpublished? The failure hereto
fore to notice Mr.. Davies writings
may indicate strength on the part
of the Provisional Government, but
its refusal to act may become
dangerous precedent, and be mis-
construed. If Mr.. Davies should be
indicted, and if he makes the de-
fence indicated by our reviewer, the
Attorney-Gen-ral may enter a nolte
prosequi on the Indictment, and add
to it, in the words of Uncle Toby to
the fly, $50, poor insect, go; the
world is large enough for me and
thee"
Mr.. Davies protests against the
infatuation which leads men to play
with a crisis which is apparently
beyond their control" We, too,
protest against a Government which
"plays" with man who is appar-
emily trying to produce another
crisis. If he is allowed to depart,
any obscure person who may here
after be charged with seditious Of
lenses can justly reply, why did
you allow him to 60 free; he, who
in and out of season has excited
discomfort by telling the Provis-
ional Government that it is in pos

MORE TESTIMONY.

On the first page of this morn
ing's ADVERTISER appears another
valuable historical and descriptive
sketch by Professor Alexander,
which has not hitherto been pub
lished in Honolulu. Attention is
drawn to it particularly on account
of the kindly spirit which it
breathes toward the native Hawai-
ians.
The opponents of the present
Government have tried to make it
appear that its organizers have
spoken and acted in a spirit of ma
lignant hostility toward the native
people, not only overriding and
trampling upon their rights, but de-
nying their merits and traducing
their character. This statement is
one for which C. T. Gulick in par
ticular has maliciously made him.

is shown, not only by the tone of

BEET SUGAR FOR THE EAST.
About Fifty Thousand Tons to be
Shipped.

Fifty thousand tons of Western
beet sugar will be shipped from San
Francisco to the Philadelphia and
New York markets. Claus Spreckels
has contracted with John Rosenfeld,
of San Francisco, to furnish the
vessels necessary to bring the sugar
East, and the rate of freight has
been agreed upon at $3.50 per ton.
The first vessel, the ship R. D. Rice,
is now loading the first consignment
at San Francisco. She will be
followed By other American clipper
ships.
There has been an unusually large
crop of beet sugar during the past
year in California and the West, ex-
ceeding previous years by 100000
pounds in California alone. Some
of this crop is not needed in the
West, it being generally mixed with
the Hawaiian and Philippine Islands
product by the refiners. The run be-
ing from one American port to anoth-

eign craft cannot compete.-Philadel-

The Hawaiian gazette., 1894-02-23

Mr.. Alexander's article this morn
ing, but by innumerable other writ
ten and oral utterances of the
friends of the Government, as vel
as by their acts in maintaining the
schools, churches and charities OF
the country.
The offence of which the mis-
sionaries" have made themselves
guilty is that they have not fat
tered the Hawaiians, but have told
the truth to them and about them
extenuating much and setting
down naught in malice. Like true
Saxons, they have declined to SUBJ
NIT to the loss of their owe liber-
ties as the consequence OF the po-
litical incapacity of the natives,
and they have drawn attention to
this iucapacity, though in no un-
friendly spirit. To the excellent
traits of the Hawaiians, their hos
pitality, their natural graciousness,
their kindliness, they have always
borne cheerful witness.
We cannot give a better example
of the spirit in which the Ha-
waiians have been regarded by
those who have uniformly proved
their truest friends, than is contained
in the following words from the
pen of S. E. Bishop, words which
reflect equal credit upon the writ
er's head and heart
The Hawaiian race is one that is
well worth saving. With all their sad
frailties, they are noble race of men,
and morally. They are
manly, courageous, enterprising, cor
dial, generous, unselfish. They are
highly receptive of good. They love
to look forward and upward, though
very facile to temptations to slide
backward and downward. In an I'M
usual degree they possess a capacity
for fine and ardent enthusiasm for
noble ends.
The Hawaiian gazette., 1894-02-23
THE UNION PLATFORM.

The platform prepared by the
committee, to furnish a foundation
for the Union Annexation Party is
published in another column. II
contains nine articles, and there is
little in any of them to which any
reasonable man can object. First of
all comes the declaration of unalter-
able opposition to any and every
form of monarchy in these islands,
followed by an equally emphatic
declaration in favor of political
union with the United States.
These two things are the essence
of the platform, and should be suf-
fcient to unite in the bands of
party unity all good annexation
lists.
Next in Importance to the two
articles referred to, come the de-
clarations in favor of free labor
and a liberal land policy. Both
are peculiarly appropriate and
timely. One of the good things
which the new era should put an
end to is the land monopoly which
has SO long retarded the prosper
ity of the country. The possess
sion of the Crown and Government
lands puts it in the power of the
Government to throw thousands of
small holdings open to settlement,
so that the time may come when
the soil shall be cultivated by those
who own it; and when these own
ers may be not great proprietors,
whose possessions are measured in
square miles, but the hardy and
honest small farmres" who make
the backbone of every country.
In like manner, the declaration
with regard to labor is relevant and
timely. Annexation means free
dom and independence for labor,
with a prospect of larger rewards
and wider opportunities.
There is nothing in the other
planks OF this platform which can
give rise to dissensions. The fab
ric is strong enough and broad
enough to accommodate all the
friends of the cause.

ANOTHER BOOK ON HAWAII.

The attention which the events
of the past year have drawn to
Hawaii is bearing fruit in litera-
ture, not only in the United States,
but in Europe. DR.. Marcuse, who
was sent out by the German Gov
eminent to make a series of astro-
nomical observations, and who
spent more than year here, has
recorded his impressions of the
place and its people in handsom-
ly printed and illustrated octave of
$50 pages. With the usual Ger
man partiality to exactness, he has
followed a very methodical plan,
giving first a general view, then a
description of each of the particu-
lar islands, after which follow chap
tiers on the volcanic activity, the
climate, the manners and customs
of the people, the fora and
fauna, closing with a historic &C.
count from the earliest times to the
present, and various information of
a statistical character. A biblio-
graphy is also appended.
The book is, on the whole, very
creditable production. While not
free from errors, it seems to be ac-
curate in the main. The account
of the revolution, while evidently
unsympathetic, is not wanting in
fairness. The great value of the
work Of Professor Alexander and
of the scientific department of the
Government, is generously recog-
nized, as are also the services of
the Curator of the Bishop Museum,
w. T. Brigham.
The illustrations are very good
in quality, and there are several
maps. The book will certainly do
a good deal toward diffusing in
Germany a correct knowledge of
Hawaii and its people.

A JUDICIAL OUTRAGE.

We report in our news columns a
case from Kona which should be
given the most serious thought. A
number of japanese were caught
gambling in Kona, and were fined
by the sapient Judge two hundred
dollars apiece.
This is not justice; it is robbery
under the forms of justice. 1t is
the kind of thing which is dealt
out by Chinese mandarins to the
unfortunate victims who fall into
their clutches. We do not want
any of it in Hawaii ; we cannot
afford any of it.. If considerations
of equity and fair play are not
enough to restrain our petty magis-
trates from such perversions of the
law, it will be well for them to re-
member that Japan is a great and
powerful neighbor of ours, whom it
will not be found profitable to Of
fend.
Perhaps a word to the country
judges from higher quarter might
serve to give them juster con-
ception of their duties.
