Bluff at IN End.
WASHINGTON. D. c.. Feb. 7.-[Special. |
Senator Ransom will not speak on the
Wilson tariff bill. The reason is that he
thinks the time has come to vote and
give the people relief instead of giving
them talk.
There is no doubt in the minds OF
Democratic Senator's about the passage
Of the bill by that body. No Democ rats
will vote against the bill. except posi-.
blv Senator's Mcpherson and Palmer,
and to Offset these the bill will receive
the vote of every Populist Senator.
which insures its passage BY a good
majority. The Louisiana Senators will
make a fight for tariff on sugar, but
will not vote against the bill il they fail.
The Republicans have begun to realize
that their game OF bluff is almost at an
end. They see that the income tax
feature will sweep the country like a
whirlwind. They see that the great
masses Of the people. the farmers, the
mechanics, and the laboring men gener-
ally. will understand that this tax will
make the rich man do his duty, and pay
his Just and equitable share towards the
support OF the government which pro-
tects his immense wealth. Some few
rich men and almost all the big corpora
tlons will oppose the bill on account OF
the income tax. Their opposition will
be not b. cause this tax is wrong, but be.
cause it sjust. The Republican policy
has been to make the poorer classes pay
almost all the tax that goes to make up
the monster total Of the expenses OF the
The income tax simply
means that the rich man must do bis
fair share towards contributing these
millions of expense. This is the Demo.
cratic idea. The farseeing Republicans
know that when the Wilson bill is once
passed. and the people see its good re.
suits. it will be as impossible to reirstate
high tariff as it would be to restore
slavery IN the South.

JAPAN AND AMERICAN COTTON.

The commercial papers in the
States are commenting on the
growth of the manufacture of cot
ton goods in Japan. The active
and progressive people of that
country have discovered that they
can undersell England in the
Asiatic markets. They need, and
will use, American cotton if they
can import it cheaply enough. But
the cost of railway freight from
the cotton-growing districts to the
Pacific seaboard is a very serious
obstacle to its use. It is believed
that the Tehuantepec route, when
complete at its harbor terminus,
may decrease the cost of transport
tation. But when the Nicaraguan
canal is finished, the commercial
men of the world may be surprised
to see fleets of vessels carrying
American cotton through the canal
via Hawaii to the Japanese fac
tories. This trade may make this
port valuable as a coalirg station.
The Japanese say that, as no
"patents are granted by their
Government, their capitalists may
use, without paying for them, all
or any one of the most valuable
inventions of either Europe or
America.
The Anglo-Saxon is fighting
cheap Asiatic labor. How will he
fight it when the Asiatic stays at
home, and manufactures and I'M
dersells him in the great markets
of the world ? The plan is, just
now, to shut the Asiatic out and
make him harmless. 1t looks as If,
however, he wouldn't stay put"
and has impotence enough to be-
lieve that he has got some rights,
and will get even with his enemies
by staying at home, and, in the
end, shutting the great Anglo
Saxon out of some of the worlds
markets.

THEOS0PHY.

In an another column appears
an account of several very interest
ing interviews, between Mr.. W. R.
Castle and Madame Blavatsky, at
the date of the organization of the
Theosophical Society, in New York,
in 1875. The account was pre-
pared for, and read before, the Ha-
vaiian Mission Children Society,
on last Saturday evening, and, after
the reading of it, by Judge Frear,
a further account of the doings of
the founders of Theosophy was
given by the editor of this paper,
who was well acquainted with
them.
The present leaders of the The
osophical movement, have aban-
doned the arts of the mediums"
and rely upon certain broad
principles of living, which, they
claim, will lead men to a better
life on earth, and, therefore, TO
better life, hereafter.
Many of US cannot understand
the doctrines of Theosophy. The
''re-incarnation" of the soul, many
thousand times, in order to perfect
it, seems to be, what the florists
would call, the reporting" process,
by which plants are improved.
Nor, do we comprehend "Karma."
What, then, is Theosophy?
Driver" said a kind scientific
traveller to the red-nosed driver
beside him, on a London bus,
"have you heard about that Won
derful fluid, electricity" NO."
said the driver, sis it anything
IKE peer, Tor instance
Certainly, at the present time, no
one does live up to the grand,
broad, and wholesome truths,
which the Theosophists expound.
If all did, we should have the mi
lennium at hand, with all of its
moral magnifcence. Whether or
not men can reach the higher
plane" by climbing the ladder to
it, offered by the Theosophists, each
one must determine for himself.
But the day has gone by, when the
hand of intolerance will dare to pull
the ladder away, whenever an earn
est and troubled soul tries to as
cend If.

THE latest advices from the Ash
attic seat of war indicate that very
little is known about the actual re-
suit of the naval battles. 1t is be-
lieved that, Oh the whole, the jap
anese have the advantage. The
Japan Gazette believes that there
will be an intervention by the
great powers. If there is not, then
the Chinese will, if they have been
beaten SO far, prepare a new army
and navy during the winter
months, and renew the war in the
spring. If beaten again, they will
slowly prepare another army and
navy, and again renew the fight.
Their resources, it says, are bound
less. On the other hand, it says,
the Japanese are under a great
strain, financially, and may not be
able to carry on the war indefi-
nitely, even if successful at many
points, Even peace, at the present
time, will only result in the gradu-
al organization of armies and ma
vies on both sides, and create sit
uation like that existing on the
European continent.

Fighting at the New Hebrides

By the bark Flinders word has
been received from Tanna, in the
New Hebrides, that the natives from
the bush have raided Messrs. Stew
ems and Francisco's places. Dwell
ings and stores were burnt, and the
traders barely escaped being shot
as they fled from the flaming build
ings and took to their boats. The
coast natives were quite friendly
with the traders, but the "men O.
bush" are very hostile, and all the
white traders dread them.-Sydney

THE THEATER IN HONOLULU.

| ALE AA12A IL AA AOAhS6O6Os
People, here, who are fond of the
drama, may be congratulated, be-
cause the Daley Company ha:
done some fair and commendable
acting.
There are some snobs, who crit.
CHE, generally, the presentation Of
any play, here, because it is not az
effectually done as it is, in great
cities. But thero are people, here,
who have often seen the finest the
atrical and operate work, in the
world, who do not find fault, but
commend any really honest and
intelligent attempt to put good
plays on our stage. We cannot pay
for the best work, and, therefore,
must take the next best.
A fair and permanent presenta-
ton of the drama here is needed,
on moral grounds. Slow witted re-
formers complain that the active
and brainy young men and women
hurry out of the towns and small
cities, into the great cities, where
they are ruined, and disappear.
These reformers are just begin
ming to find out that one of
the chief attractions of the big
city is, its amusements. A
Christian mother, with a very
level head, residing in a small city
of Ohio, having lost one son in the
whirlpool of Chicago life, kept her
other son at home, by building
theatre and opera house, at a cost
of $50, 900, and renting it, at a nom
inal price, to one who engaged to
give good and attractive entertain
ments. Her missionary work "
was, in fighting off the dangerous
tendency of young people to leave
home, in search of amusements.
For young people will, and must
have them. Only the final revela-
ton will show how many good
people have driven their children
away from home, and into the perils
of city life, by, stupidity, failing to
recognize this important fact.
The Stage is a power, today, and
it is a growing power. 1t breaches
sermons as instructive, and often,
far more attractive, than those from
the pulpit. 1t is the best school of
SPOKEN language, and of social man
ners. The day of smart, honest,
but uncouth men and women is
about over.
Our island community requires
especially amusements which will
really attract and elevate the
young. We may venture an opin-
ion that, if the money invested in
that valuable institution, the
Bishop Museum, had been invested,
instead, in the promotion of whole
some entertainments for the young,
it would in the end do much great
er good than it will do in proving
to US how benighted the heather
were, and how thankful we should
be that we do not worship stone
idols.

q. Klemme Will Run For the
Senatorship.
THE OPPOSITION HAS DwINCLED.
So the Representative Chosen BY the
American Union Party Are as
Good as Elected. and Five OF
the Senators Are Chosen as Well.

The books in the Interior Depart
ment are closed, and there will be
no more candidates placed in the
field for the coming election. They
were held open until $50 o'clock
last night in order to give anyone
who wished a chance to strive for
ballots on October 29th, but only
one person ventured. He is II.
Klemme. and he will run as an in
dependent candidate for Senator.
So this will be the only contest
on election day, and the candidates
for Representatives chosen by the
American Union Party Convention
are as good as elected, while five
of the six Senators, and, perhaps,
all six are equally certain.
John Emmeluth was undecided
until 3 o'clock yesterday whether
to run or not. A number of his
friends called upon him and urged
him to place his name before the
people, but others whom he asked
counselled him not to do so, and
he listened to their arguments.
His reasons for non-action are
stated in a card from him, which
appears below.
Paul Neumann was talked of as
a possible candidate. He was seen
yesterday when he returned from
the Kohala term of court, and said
az shall not be a candidate. l
will never be a candidate for any
thing again. 1t does not pay. l
am going to stick to the law"
Mr.. EDITOR ALLOW me to space
in your paper to thank those friends
who have 80 persistently insisted
on my running as all independent
candidate for Senator at the coming
election.
1 thoroughly appreciate their
confidence and esteem as expressed
during the past few days, and more
especially in the petition l found
at my place of business this after
noon, but the pledge given when
allowed my name to come before
the American Union Party conven-
ton precluded my acceptance of
their call.
Party politics will be fruitful of
just such incidents as above related
as long as the voters will allow
present methods to prevail. Gov
eminent of the people, for the peo-
pie, and by the people, can only be
obtained by giving to all elements
entitled to vote an equal right to
representation. When We have &C
complished this one step in advance
in the science of popular rights,
there will be no need for petitions
to run independent, for then each
man will have but one vote, and |
that vote will be effective.
/ commend to my friends and all |
others interested in correcting the
misrepresentation of the present
political system, careful study of |
the principles embodied in Proper
tional Representation, and hope to
see its adoption in this country,
whether we get annexation or not.
Yours truly,

OWING to the stagnant condition
of trade in London, money was
recently loaned there, in large
amounts, for a short time, at the
rate of one-fourth of one per cent.
per annum. This fact indicates
the difficulty of loaning money on

THE LAST OF THE PEACOCK FEATHERS.

| THE LAST OF THE PEACOCK FEATHERS
The papers published in China
tells US that General Ii Hung
Chang has been deprived of his
"three peacock feathers because
he failed to subdue the japanese.
While the cruel messenger of the
Brother of the Sun, Moon, and Stars,
were ruthlessly pulling the brilliant
feathers out of the cap of the illus
trious General, the latter must have
reflected, with bitterness, on his
sad fate. He had reached the
highest rank of scholarship. He had
closed the Tapping rebellion. He
had reached ali China with his in
fuence. He had entertained King
Kalakaua and staff with a costly
dinner at TENTS Sin, and INDUCED
in CHASTITY grin as they vainly
maneuvred the chopsticks. He
was not only the General of the
Armies, but the Viceroy over co.
100000 people. For all these illus
trious deeds, he was permitted to
wear in his cap the tail feathers of
a bird which may usually be pur-
chased for S. in any market not
controlled by the Sugar Trust.
As the Emperor's messenger
picked the precious plumage out of
his vice-regal cap, the venerable
statesman, no doubt, shed bitter
tears, and remarked that it was
pity that he had not profited by
the saying of the great English
statesman, on his downfall, that if
he had served his God, as faithfully
as he had served his King, it would
have been money in his pocket.
In addition to this disgrace, this
great man of China is in another
trouble. Mr.. Chang Pei-lun, I'm
perial War Commissioner in 1884,
is a willy old fox, and succeeded,
by great gifts of money, in marry
ing Ii Hung Changes daughter,
and he resided in the yamen, or
household, of the latter, in TENT
Sin. For some reason, the Emperor
has "soured" on Mr.. Pei-lun, and
has ordered General Ii to put his
son-in-law, out of the yamen. This,
perhaps, General Ii would be will
ling to do, under ordinary circum-
stances, but he don't like to be
slapped in the face, by the Brother
of the Sun. Moreover, she will
have to run if he does So" says the
Hongkong Weekly Press, "the
gauntlet of fearful invective from
both the second Countess Ii,
and especially, from his daughter,
who is reputed to be a very
good scholar" 1t looks as if
the great vice-roy would have
trouble, in throwing his wiley SON.
in-law over the fence, because his
will surely stand by her
and while she will tug,
with her hands, at the vice-regal
pigtail of her papa, she will plant,
with piercing shrieks, her tiny feet
upon his august person, and call
him nasty thing" in very clas-
sic Chinese.
The latest reports tell US, that
General Ii has been removed from
the command of the armies. If
this is true, he will now be able to
attend to his son-in-law.
We were, some years ago, at the
hotel, at West Point, N. Y, where
General Winfield Scott was visit
ing, in his old age. On his remark
ing, one day, at dinner, that the
soup was too cold, his daughter re-
piled, "eat it, you old fool, and stop
talking"
Great generals, sometimes, have
intrepid daughters.
