PROPOSED ELECTION.

1t Is, We are informed. the In
tentlon of Dir. Dols.s government
+, no 4 an election in the last
week Of October. If the govern
ment still exists at that date. we
presume that sueb an election
wi. take place. The result viii
be extremely humiliating for the
republic as only a very small
fraction of the voting population
viii 90 to the polls. The Portu-
guese who heretofore have been
used to swell the numerical
strength of the reyolutionists,
have virtually withdrawn their
support from the republic. They
joined the move, because they
believed that annexation was the
object of the revolution, and that
better times would be the result
of annexation and bring relief to
the great number who now are
starving for want of work. The
Hawaiians refuse absolutely to
take part in an election where
they can gain nothing. The
Portuguese are virtually disfran-
chised through lack OF electoral
qualifications, and the absolute
majority of the Hawaiians will be
Of no avail to them as the in
famous constitution has fixed
things SO the power of govern
ment is secure in the hands of
the present clique. Foreign res
idents, who are in opposition to
Mr. Dole, have also been dis
franchised, and the result will be
that, the election will be carried
on by the small contingent Of
oliiceholders, and plantation
slaves who lack all sense of indie
pendence and political individu-
alitv. If 1900 voters are regist-
cred on the day of the election,
the government will have to be
satisfied, and in that number it
has mustered all It's followers.
The army, police. guards, specials
and spies constitute the majority
of the registered voters; the
balance is made up of plantation
overseers, transfers, mechanics
and other obedient employees.
If Mr.. Dole thinks, that he, with
such a showing has any chance
of having his government recog-
nized by the United States OF any
other foreign power, he must be
more sanguine than we ever
thought him to be. And he has
nobody to blame except himself
in letting stupidity, arrogance and
open hostility rule his govern
ment where good results could
have been gained by diplomacy,
tact and concili ting policy

Savage Warriors.

1t is not surprising to learn
that the japanese violated all
the rules of warfare in sinking
the Chinese transport ship. All
orientals have merely surface
covering of civilization. The
original barbarian comes out the
moment the blood is up. The
japanese navy. rs we'll as the
army, hate the Chinese and any
loss that they can infict on this
enemy is regarded as legitimate.
The Chinese have shown no
special regard for the customs OF
civilized warfare. In the Taip-
ing rebellion so prominent a

promise TO General Gordon and
shocked every foreigner in China

by several episodes of savage

Not Settled.

WASHINGTON, August 3.-The
understanding among the tariff
conferees when they adjourned
this afternoon was, that the
session tomorrow should bring
about either an agreement on
the sugar schedule or decision
to report disagreement To-day
was devoted by the conference to
a discussion on the sugar ques-
ton.
This schedule in detail pro-
vides for a duty of 40 per cent.
ad valorem on sugar below l6
Dutch standard, and 40 per cent
above this grade, the duty on
the refined sugar to be collected
on the basis of the saccharine
strength of the raw sugar used in
it with 1-5 of a cent differential
on the refined, and discrimina-
ting duty equal to the export
duty levied by such sugar-pro-
ducing countries as pay a bounty
on sugar production
This schedule was submitted
to the conference as the ultima
tum of the conservative Senators,
coming through Senator Smith
of New Jersey, and the House
conferees were given to under
stand that the schedule was the
nearest approach to the require
ments that the Senate could
make with an assurance that the
bill would pass in the Senate.
Some of the Hoase conferees
are fayorably inclined toward the
schedule, but they believe it de-
fines exactly the extra duty to be
paid on the refined sugars and is
free from the objection urged
against the Senate schedule; that
owing to the wording of the sche-
dnle it was impossible to tell be-
yond the one-eighth OF
cent differential what the duty
would be on the refined article.
They are of the opinion that the
duty in the schedule presented
10 day will be confined to one. fifth
Of a cent differential.
1t is understood, however, that
while inclined to accept these
figures as the best they can get, |
Ind while considering that in
his they secure an advantage |
over the Senate schedule, they |
indicated a desire to consider the
uestion over night. and that it |
vas on this account that the de-
,ision. which II vas hoped would
se reached to-day, viii be post

AN UNFoUNDED CHARGE.

An anonymous corresp n,lent
in tbIs mornings A,fy~gts<eg
,broNs ont "A rather scathing sc
cusstion sg'irst the community
in claiming that Honolulu holds
an unparalleled rec ri for DRINK
enc lie also states that there
is an increase in the use or mis-
use of intoxicating liquor.
We should have considered it
in better taste, If the Advertiser
correspondent had signed his
own name to his sweeping as
sertion instead of hiding under
non dc plume People would
then have been able to Judge OF
his right and qualification TO
hold an opinion and to publish
it. The writer has evidently
never lived in seaport, or he
would know that Honolulu is a
very orderly and sober town. He
is shocked because. he, on a
Sunday sees a couple of DRINKS
being run in by the police. In
every European country. Sunday
is the day of celebration and re-
creation, and it is, on that day,
that excuses naturally are made.
Society" stay at home on Sun
days. Theatres and other places
of entertainment are filed by the
working classes, who enjoy their
Sundays to the fullest extent,
and if some of them take a little
more stimulants than necessary
they only follow the example OF
their richer brethren during the
week
The police record for drunk
eness in Honolulu appears large,
but the reason is simply to be
found in the system which guides
the police officers. To be drunk
is not al offense in the eyes Of
the law any more than oyereat-
ing, or, any other excess. 1t is
only when the drunken man be-
comes a nuisance or dangerous to
his fellow citizens, that the
officers of the law have a right to
step in.
If A. wants to get drunk,
and eventually gets softening of
the brain, he has as much right to
do it as has b. to make hog of
himself at his table and stuff him
self with rich food until govt and
ultimate apoplexy put a stop to
his voracity. Society has no
right to Interfere with the liber-
ty OF the individual as long as
the individual does not interfere
with society. But that principle
has never yet dawned on our
antiquqted authorities who believe
that a man has committed an
otfense against our equally anti
Quated laws If he is unable to
walk the proverbial chalk line.
When the officers are instructed
to curb their oficiousness aud
only arrest for drunkenness when
the drunk becomes a public
nuisance. the records will be
lowered immensely, and the Ad-
rertissr correspondent will have
no occasion to gnash his teeth
md spit out misleading and false
accusations against this fair
country and the nation. And

Third, drunken white fend
