GREELEY,S MANNERS WERE BAD

Horace Greeley stories being IN Or
der, in view of unwilling of his statue
recently, l will tell one that 1 heard
in New Orleans. The genial old phil
anthropist went there after the South
had taken him to her heart in CRATE
full recognition of his action on 60
ing on the Jeff Davis bail bond, and
the people were anxious to show him
every attention In their power.
A dinner seemed the proper thing,
and the markets of New Orleans.
than which there are few better in
the world, were ransacked to make
the occasion as notable for its viands
as for the distinction of the guest
and the diners. Judge Walker, the
veteran editor of the Picayune, pre-
sided; he was a great gourmand,
and, after the of gourmands,
wanted none of the fine points Of the
diner to be lost to the guest for
for lack Of commentary.
Mr.. Greeley" said he, "these
oysters are the best that come to our
market, and we think they vie with
those of Norfolk. l observe thatyou
are not eating them"
VSIl, No., IOpllSd olCSlCy luS
truth is I never could abide shell
fish, and he passed.
Then came some delicious green
turtle soup, which Judge Walker ex-
planned was prepared from the finest
fat turtle the Florida bays could
afford.
No doubt, no doubt" was the
reply III Greeley's peculiar whine,
but cold blooded animals are an
abominat1on to me-"
The pompano, imperial fish that it
is, and fresh from the gulf, was open
to the same objection, despite Judge
Walkers eulogy, and that, too, was
passed. Mr.. Greeley barely tasted the
accompanying Partisan dainty, and
shook his head ruefully at the idea
that anyone would impair his diges-
ton by eating cucumbers. Shrimp
salad, another New Orleans delicacy,
proved no more tempting; shrimps,
he said, looked so much like worms
that they always give him the creeps.
"Ah, here is something you will
like-a homely dish in name" said
Judge Walker. but fit for the gods,
1t is a Galicia ham, And then he
went on to tell how the hogs from
which these hams were obtained
were fed only on chestnuts, making
the flesh luscious and delicious.
"Perhaps so; very interesting in
deed" observed Greeley; but dc
you know, judge, that there is SC
much talk of trichinae nowadays
that l wouldn't dare to taste a BIZ
of pork"
The judge gave upin despair. The
only things in all the array of dain
ties which had been provided which
Mr.. Greeley would eat were bread
potatoes and caulifower, and h,
feared that he might be overlooking
his stomach at that; but when i
came to the speaking. although h.
had drank nothing but cold water
he spoke as one inspired, and with
tervor, %elOquence and tenderness tina.
nobody at the table could eve,

The expected constitutional tariff
may fail through the treachery of
one man, but the income tax can be
passed only by the united and solid
treachery of the democratic party
organization in Washington. The
president and congress-, if they so
desire, may sulk in the matter OF tar
iff reform, and shrink from it, but at
least let them refrain from throwing
the democratic party, and with it
the country, beneath the feet of the
socialists.
Take the income tax away!-[ ~. Y.

TOM AND HIS FURNITURE.

When Tom came home at night,
wearied from a long days worri-
ment and vexation in the Office, he
received a loving welcome from his
wife.
That is, he would have received a
loving welcome if they had owned
no furniture. 1t vas the furniture
that PLAYED the mischief with Toms
domestic bliss.
He would enter the front door,
tired and exhausted, and his wife
would meet him and say:
"Why Tom, its very strange that
you can never come into the front
door without winding the entry mat
up in a roll. You have nearly spOilt
it now. It's no use for me to try to
have anything. You are sure to
spoil it by your careless habits"
I'm sorry, my DEAR" began Tom,
"but-
ooh, Tom" broke in his wife
don't stand there with the door
wide open and the dust blowing in
upon my furniture. 1t will all be
ruined completely. Oh, dear! a man
is such a careless animal, and Isome-
times think he should never be al
lowed to enter a house, but should
be confined somewhere in the yard
in a strong cage, with no carpets,
no furniture, no draperies, nor any
thing"
IF you will buy me a cage" said
Tom, Il will live in it," and he
threw himself YEARLY into a chair.
MERCY on us!" screamed his wife.
Tom, get out of that chair at once.
Haven't l told you a thousand times
that that chair was never made to
sit in ,"
Il always thought that was the
purpose for which a chair was
made" said Tom.
That's just as stupid as some
men are" said his wife.
II hope my cage will be ready to-
morrow" said Tom, as he threw
open the front blinds to gaze out
upon the sunset.
ut is strange, Tom" said his wife,
"that you "a never go near those
windows without tangling yourself
all up in the lace curtains. You are
lust like a child. You think YOU
see. Here you came into the house
and then Immediately go to looking
out of doors. IfyOu wanted to see
the scenery outside why didn't you
stay Out?'
Tom closed the blinds and threw
himself into another chair without
a word. Much married life had
made him taciturn.
There, Tom, you have torn that
tidy off the back of that chair, just
the way you always do. Here l
worked for weeks and weeks on that
tidy and shaved myself to death in
trying to make our home look pref
ty and beautiful. l wish l was
dead! There!"
MAY l be allowed to stand on
one foot in the middle of the room,
my dear?" meekly suggested Tom.
"Yes, and on that elegant Turkish
rug that cost US so much money,
with your dirty shoes on"
II have had several stubborn mis-,
apprehensions of mine corrected
today" said Tom. My ignorance
was so dense that I was actually
stupid enough to think that chairs
were made to be sat upon, that rugs
were made to walk over and that
windows were made to look out Of
But now to my clarified vision, ]
see what monstrous decisions 1 have
been c~herishing."
Here Tom took his hat and start
away.
Why Tom" said his wife, you
have just come home. Where are
you going.
81 am going out" said Tom, "tc
commit some crime to see if l can't
be Sent to the p~enitentiary, SO that
can have a place Of residence where
can sit down and enjoy mvseif."-[N

SOWING THE SEED.

Not a word we say falls fruit1ess,
Not a deed we do decays;
Every thought and word and action
Will be found in future days
Grant, then, Lord of all the harvest,
That the seeds We daily SOW
May refresh the hearts of others,
Spreading blessings as they grow.

IS 1T SECRET OR NOT?

Last nights Star devotes q col
umn of it's valuable space to what
is apparently an attempt to prove
that the American League is not
secret organization. At the same
time it argues that secrecy is all
right because there was a secret
league here in 1887.
This double defence reminds
one of the Irishman who exoner-
ated himself from charge of
breaking his neighbours wheelbar-
row as follows: 1. / never Dor
rowed your wheelbarrow. 2. 1t
was broken when L borrowed it.
3. 1t was whole when l returned it.
If it is true that the American
League is not secret organization
then all objections to it on this
score fall to the ground. But if it
is not secret, let it publish the list
of its members, and admit report
ers to its deliberations.
The comparison Instituted by
the Star between the American
League and the League of 1887, is
a rather unlucky one. The League
of 'S7 was secret because its aims
were revolutionary. Those of the
American League on the other
hand are peaceful and lawful. The
first league was organized to over
throw the Government the Sec
ond to support it. Secrecy was as
appropriate in the one case, as
openness would be in the other.

ST. JACKSON'S DAY-JANUART s.

There's a faint and far-off rustic of a
pair of Tapping wings,
There's tremulous low murmur as a
touch upon the strings
OF harp q long time silent; and
through the mists of years
In burst of outraged glory Andrew
Jackson's ghost appears.
With a heart bowed down and break
ing by the weight of present ways
He turns his face of sadness in remi-
niscent gaze
Upon the White House tenant, who
so lately occupies
The Democratic preStige-and jack
son wipes his eyes.
With a fierce and grim resentment
which he does not try to hide
He listens to the vandals as they slug
the party's pride,
And he shakes his bony finger at the
Mugwump IN his scOrn,
And asks, by the Eternal! why was it
ever born.
With a ghostly gaze of vengeance
which appears to grow on him,
He turns his wrathful countenance
toward the distant, dim
Pacific, where a tyrant's throne has
lately come to be
OF paramount Importance to the BAN
ner of the free.
With an oath in which all virtues are
concentred, good and strong,
He fiercely strikes at leaders who
would do the party wrong
By trucking to that Mammon which,
in tariffs as elsewise,
Makes miniOnS of the millions, who
would gain the vicious prize.
what travesty of party! what a
farce of politics
Have been before the public in the
years since '36;
And the ghost of good old Andrew,
disguised with the sham,
Floats upward through the ether on
concentrated damn! l..

THEY WILL CONSIDER 1T.

The programme for an election
to be held by the Annexation
Club this week has fallen through.
This is owing to the fact that last
nights mass meeting forgot that it
was summoned simply as pre-
liminary nominating convention,
and proceeded to fix upon a single
candidate. This course was due
apparently to an error of Mr..
Hatch.
Of course a nomination made in
this way cannot be regarded as
though it were the result of reg
ular election. 1t would be absurd
to expect anything of the sort. Mr..
d. B. Smith will go before the
Councils in connection with other
nominations as the candidate of
the American League, and as such
will receive consideration.

THE ERROR OF MR.. MARQUES.

In writing an article on the de-
cadence of the Hawaiian popula-
ton, for publication in the Journal
of the Polynesian Society, Mr..
Marques seems to have forgotten
what was due both to himself and
to the society. If Mr.. Marques
had been writing for the Forum or
the North American Review, re-
marks of political nature would
have been permissible. In a journ-
al devoted purely to the purpose
of scientific research, such remarks
are entirely out of place. Mr.. Mar
ques has perfect right to his own
opinions-and his own idiosyncra-
cies-and if among these is the
idea that the greater part of the
foreign residents in this communi-
ty are designing adventures"
etc., etc., this is after all only an
opinion like any other, and if Mr..
MARQUES chooses to entertain it, it
is nobody's business but his own.
When, however, Mr.. Marques
introduces a political opinion of
this description into what purports
to be a strictly scientific article
and then publishes this article in
the journal of an chronological So
ciety, he commits not only a breach
of scientific accuracy, but of good
taste. Such a course tends not
only to discredit himself,-that
erhaps is a matter of merely per-

THE HAND OF ESAU.

The mass meetings of the An
nexation Club have generally been
rather serious affairs last nights,
however, afforded for the once a
humorous diversion.
The Star claims that the Ameri-
can League is not a secret organi-
zation. Last night certainly it was
not. 1t marched up in a body,
took possession of the meeting, is
sued declaration of its own rights
and, in the name of the Annexa-
ton Club, loudly chanted its own
praises. Everything was done, as
Mr.. Hatch observed, with "neatness
and dispatch" and with great good
humor.
The action thus taken is of course
simply the action of the American
League. The course taken was laid
out in advance by that body the
resolutions passed were draughted
and adopted in its meeting of the
night before. Everything was cut
and dried, and the work was done

WHAT IS THE PLEDGE?

The ADVERTISER is informed that
before D. B. Smith became the
American Leagues candidate, he
was required to take cast-iron !"
pledge of some kind, and that one
reason the other candidates with
drew was because they declined to
bind themselves in any such man
ner. We will not venture any re-
marks as to the precise character
of this pledge, since, in spite of cor
rection from a very high quarter,
we are still of opinion that the pro-
ceedings of the American League
are secret. We cannot, therefore,
pretend to know exactly what this
oath may have been.
What was the pledge g? The
public will want to know. They
have a right to know. The Coun-
ellis, too, may be DESTROYS of salts
flying a natural curiosity on this
question before they proceed to
hold their election. The "repre-
sentative principle" that is, the
principle that secret leagues shall
be represented, is perhaps not yet
so firmly established as to exclude
the lawful Government of the
country from asserting their right
to a voice in its affairs.
What is the pledge :?

IT HAS become the fashion in

IT HAS become the fashion in
some quarters to make Mr.. Emme-
luth the object of depreciatory in
situations. The public regards
these things as little as we believe
the man himself does. Mr.. Emme-
luth has been from the beginning
one of the strongest, most jealous
and most disinterested adherents of
the annexation cause. He was in
it on the first day, and he will be with
it to the end. That he has enemies
is to his credit, and if he makes
mistakes, it is what every one does
who is worth his salt. His course
in the Council, while it has some
times been hasty, has always been
honorable and courageous at a time
when these qualities could i'll have
been spared.

sonal concern,-but it is injurious
to the standing and reputation of
the journal in which publication
is made. The editors of the Journ-
al of the Polynesian Society are not
of course directly responsible for the
articles contained in the magazine.
They are, however, responsible for
them indirectly. They virtually
guarantee that these articles shall
be scientific in their scope and pur-
pose; that they shall not be the
work of incapable persons, and that
they shall not contain matter for
eign to the objects for which the
society was established.
In using the Journal of the Poly
nesian Society as the medium for a
covert attack upon the dominant
political party in this country, Mr..
MARQUES has not hurt that party in
any degree, for its existence de-
ponds on strong hearts and willing
hands and not on the breath of any
scientific society. What he has
done is simply to injure the credit
of scientific publication and abuse
the confidence of its editors.

Mr.. HATCH made very happy
speech at the close of the meeting
last night. He drew attention to
the fact that annexation was the
live movement in this country, and
that the alleged discussions be-
tween the different wings of the
Annexation Party only ruffle the
surface, without going to the
essence. There could be no more
striking proof of the fundamental
unanimity which exists in the An
nexation Party today, than the
good nature which prevailed at
last nights meeting, and the en-
thusiasm which expressed itself
upon every mention of the common
cause.

While the rainy weather is
not pleasant for the pedestrian,
it teaches us to appreciate the
sunshine when it is here. In
addition to this it creates ii
demand for the best steel mat
made the Hartmann, of
which we have a stock of
assorted sizes. These Mats
are better than the foot scraper
and will last longer. For
Kauai mud, of the early red
variety, there is nothing to
equal it. Maui mud can be
handled with the same ease
and dexteriety by the use of
the Hartmann Mat.
Two articles we handle for
plantation use are growing
more popular every day: the
Colorado brands of lubricating
oils and the locked wire fence.
The oils after a trial lasting
more than a year have proven
better than any other oil i'm
ported to these Islands. We
have it in use on nearly all
the plantations and we are
adding new customers to it
almost every week. Dynamo,
Engine, Machine, Castor,
Cylinder, Car Box and Red Seal
Valve, make up the list that
covers every branch of
machinery for which oil is
used. Cylinder oil may be
used six times before it begins
to separate; this cannot be
done with any other grade of
oil.
The Locked Fence is d good
deal like certain varieties OF
cheese, it speaks for itself.
Wherever rod of this fence
has been built we have had
orders from other parties in the
same neighborhood. Strength
and economy are the two
points which commend it to
the public.
Ifyou can get a better article
for less money than you would
pay for an inferior one, why
not buy the best, and save
money F?

MIR. CIeveIaud's Hawaiian Folly

1t was enough for Mr.. Cleveland
to declare to the Provisional Gov
eminent, that he would have no.
thing to do with annexation; and
it was not his business to require
that Government to withdraw for
the benefit of the dethroned queen.
By doing this he has excited pre-
iudices at home, an impolitic act,
which cannot be counterbalanced
by any possible utility. Our Gov
eminent must simply hold itself
passive in regard to the develop
ment of things in Hawaii. This
it has to do now as we'll as it can,
after the Provisional Government
has rejected Mr.. Cleveland's re-
quirement. But this rejection is a
voluntarily provoked disgrace for
the United States. A statesman
who had any knowledge of foreign
politics would never have advised
Mr.. Cleveland to attempt 1T. Ii
Mr.. Gresham has done this, he has
proved that his elevation to the
head of the State Department was
a mistake. In any case, his ap-
pointment was an act of great
naivete on the part of Mr.. Cleve-
land, who was led only by his wish
to recognize the Young Democracy,
or Mugwumpery. The idea was
we'll enough, but the post was bad
ly chosen. This appointment is,
unluckily, not the only one by
which Mr.. Cleveland has demon
strated that he has no just idea of
the difficulties which diplomacy
has to offer, notwithstanding the
simplicity of our foreign policy.
In this respect he is certainly no

THE sales of real estate men,

show on the part of purchasers a
confidence in the future of prop

founded as it is gratifying. Under

assured, Honolulu property is sure
to appreciate, while annexation,
when it does come, will have a
favorable effect upon all kinds of
values.
