He'd Rather Take the Necktie.

Gus Williams was entertained by
a party of West End acquaintance
after Thursday nights performance.
The original idea was to a little
euchre party, but Williams began
to tell stories, and in that way the
night was spent.
"a country clothing merchant
went to the store of Bernheimer,
Bloom & Co. in New York not long
ago" said Mr. Williams, land be
fore he left he had completed the
purchase of a bill to the amount of
| $4,000. He paid $4,000 in cash and
gave his note for the remainder.
" 'Und now, said he to the sales
man, 'vot viii l ged for Grismas
bresent?
' Pm glad you spoke, already,
the salesman returned. Step rigid
over by the gounder and pick for
yourself handsome silk necktie.
THE country merchant was
astonished.
What! Do l hear rigid? Only
necktie und l puy $4oooin spring
goods?'
Well, 1 don'd know. I'll see
Mr.. Bernheimer, said the salesman.
How much did he buy?' the
experienced head Of the house ask
ed.
-Four t'ousand, helluf cash and
helluf a note, said the clerk.
Well, Mr.. Bernhermer contin-
ued, give him his note.
The clerk went out, delighted
with the magnifcence of the gift.
When the country merchant heard
of it his face fell.
'Und did he indorse id?' he
asked.
OF course not, replied the
astonished clerk.
Veil in dot case, the rural
trader replied, I'll take dot neck
tie. ,"

SUNDAY CONCERTS.

In a letter to the Advertiser Rev.
DR.. Hyde asks:
Are open air concerts by brass band
under Government authority consOnant
with the object Of the institution of the
Christian Sabbath, or are they incongru.
GUS with its design and purpose?
1t depends upon the music that
is played. If the band should draw
its melodies from the score Of La
Somnambula or from Billy Emer-
sons minstrel repertory, its Sun
day concerts would be an offense to
the Christian Sabbath. If, on the
other hand, it should confine its
themes to those supplied by the
writers of the highest grades Of
Protestant and Catholic religious
music and Of purely classical COM
positions, then the Sunday concerts
would be in keeping with the
sanctity of the day. The STAR
does not approve of secular con-
certs on the first day Of the week
even though the Divine command
was to hallow the seventh day; but
it can see no moral difference be-
tween sacred music as performed
by band out of doors on Sunday
and the same thing as performed
by an organ and choir within the
walls of church.

Making a Paper PAY.

The Philadelphia Lcdgre well
founded in o. $40 by three journey
men printers Mcssrs. Swain. Bias
and simmons, and had prospered
greatly. The Ledger had been
| founded as a penny paper and had
gained a very large circulation, but
when the price OF white paper
! increased so enormously as it did
! during the civil war, the great
circulation was actually a source Of
loss, since the white paper on which
the sheet was printed was worth
more than the printed sheet sold
/. for. Under these circumstances the
b. Ledger, in spite gifts popularity,
was falling speedily behind and was
published at a loss of about $3.50, 900
year.
1t required great courage TO pur-
3 chase a paper under such circum-
stances, but Mr.. Childs determined
to take the risks, and purchased
the Ledger for a sum slightly in

loss.

OFFICE OF THE ATTORNEY GENERAL,l
HONOLULU, APRIL 2, 1894
There appearing to be some misunder-
standing as to the effect of the oath
required Of voters for Delegates to the
Constitutional Convention, it has been
deemed advisable that an authoritative
statement on the subject be made.
The following is a correct statement
of the intention of the law:
The word "oppose" in the form of the
oath relates to the duties OF those taking
it. as voters and as delegates the former
binding themselves in voting for dele
gates to vote only for such persons al
are opposed to a re establishment of the
monarchy; and the latter as members
of the Convention binding themselves
to work in the Convention against the
introduction of any provision in the
new constitution tending to a re-estab
lishrent of the monarchy.
The word resist" was in the first
draft of the oath, and was stricken out
as possibly misleading.

CONSISTENT FROM THE START

An esteemed contemporary |
speaks of the revolution which
has come about in the STARS atti-
tade upon the issue OF Hawaiian
franchise, but does not so into de
tails We feel called upon there
fore to supply the deficiency.
When the STAR started It
pointed out that the natives of Ha-
wall would probably secure, by the
annexation OF these Islands to the
United States, the right to eNer-
else the Elaeya franchise right
which had been conferred in turn,
by the process Of annexation, upon
Crcoles and MexiCans and by the
process of emancipation upon Ne
proes. This paper stood ready to
advocate the political union OF Ha-
wall with the American republic on
such conditions and under sucf
circumstances. The position how
ever did not imply that Statehood
franchise, which is a differen
thing from the Federal pre-
rogative by which ballots ma,
be cast for Presidential electors AM
Congressman only would be a neces
sary sequence to or a desirabl
factor in the annexation status
We have never said that anneXa
ton should be had on the basis c
complete home rule by the aborig
inal majority. We have never &C
vocated such a measure and do nc
advocate it now, believing tina
what was gained for good govern
nent and good morals in Hawa
by the bayonet should not be los
bv the ballot. There is where tn
STAR differed from the Ad0erhiser
full representative plan whicl
seemed to involve a wider eXercis
of the franchise than would be safe
We agree in the main with tn
more recent declarations Of tina
paper, though their inconsistenc
with those Of previous utteranc
has not failed to provoke our mel
riment
There is no revolution in STA
opinion here. Those who thin
there is are not aware, perhap
that people may have the right
vote in the field Of Federal polite
who are restricted by property
educational and other qualification
in voting for State and legislatiy
tickets, and that a paper may al
prove of universal suffrage in ii
one respect and Of restricted suf
rage in another without incor
sistency.
The Hawaiian star. [volume] (Honolulu [Oahu]) 1893-1912, 1894-04-03

WE are sorry to learn that some
one has interpreted the STARS news
that independent candidates would
be run by the District Clubs for
convention delegates in case the
central committee should assume to
nominate, as a threat instead of a
friendly warning. The only pur-
pose of this paper was to put up
sign such as they have at railway
crossings in America-Look Out
for the Locomotive When the Bell
Rings. The wayfaring man does
not regard this declaration as
threat even though it may be
couched in rather crisp and even
imperative terms. He accepts it as
a service to him which may save
him from accident; and thereby he
sets an excellent example to the
people who think it good politics
TO restrict their own party in the
exercise Of a natural political right.

A PUZZLE IN PRONUNCIATIoN.

The following odd composition
was placed upon the blackboard at a
Teachers Institute in Vermont and
a copy ofWebster's unabridged die
tionary offered as prize to the one
who should read it and pronounce
every word correctly. Twelve were
the least number of mistakes made:
"A sacrilegious son of Belial who
had suffered from bronchitis, having
exhausted his finances, in order to
make good the deficit, resolved to
ally himself to a comely, lenient
and docile young lady of the Malay
or Caucasian race. He accordingly
purchased a calliope and a coral
necklace of chameleon hue, and,
securing a suite of rooms at prin-
cipal hotel, he engaged the head
waiter as his coadjutor. He then
dispatched one of the most unexcep-
tional caligraphy extant, inviting
the young lady to matinee. She re-
yolted at the idea; refused to consid-
er herself sacrifcable to his desires,
and sent polite note Of refusal, on
receiving which he procured car
bine and boywie knife, said that he
would not now forge letters hyme-
neal with the queen, went to an
isolated spot, severed his jugular
vein and discharged the contents
of the carbine into his abdomen.
