CONCERNING REGISTRATION.

In discussing the Chinese ques-
ton in late issue, the ADVERTISER
has dwelt upon the necessity of
universal registration as pre-re-
quisite to the successful enforce
ment of all laws dealing with the
problem. It may not be amiss to re-
mind our readers that the Legisla-
ture of 1892 had this matter under
advisement, and discussed it with
the greatest amplitude. 1t was
proposed to register all residents of
the Kingdom, and again to register
Chinese only. The former measure
gained the day, and finally an Act
" To Provide for the Registration of
Male Residents in the Hawaiian
Kingdom" passed the gauntlet of
Committees and readings, and was
sent to the Queen to be signed. The
Queen, however, buried the bill
somewhere. It disappeared from
sight as thoroughly and untrace-
ably as De Quincey's Spanish Nun.
We are in possession of copy of
this bill, and present it to our read
ers this morning in full. The bill
is not without faults. but it repre-
sents a great deal of thought and
labor. Detailed comment upon it
is reserved for future day.
1t would be we'll for those per-
sons who are interested in the solu-
ton of the labor question to pre-
serve this copy of the bill, as it
will be found useful for future ref
erence.

CONFIDENT ROTALISTs.

No one in this city pretends TO
know what news the Australia will
bring today, always saving. OF
course, the royalists. They are
said to be jubilant in anticipation
of ruin to the Provisional Govern
rnent. The Holomua interpreta-
ton of the McCreary resolution as
meaning, first restoration, and
then non-interference, is doubtless
an authoritative statement of roy
alist dogma. In accordance with
it, they doubtless expect Senate
Committee report which will not
only varnish the President, but
restore Mrs. Dominis to her losS
throne, and call for the scaips of
all her enemies
The ADVERTISER is not in the
prophecying business-except as
to the weather-but we are re-
minded of good old biblical say
ing: "The hopes of the wicked
shall come to naught."

JAMES BRYCE ON HAWAII.
His Opinion of American Interests
These Islands.

To THE EDITOR OF THE Sun
SIR: In thr American Common
wealth." by James Bryce, is this
reference to Hawaii
There is, however, one spot beyond
the limits of the North American con-
tinent in which American declare
that they feel directly interested.
This is the island group of Hawaii,
which lies 1000 miles to the south
west of San Francisco. Great as this
distance is, the Americans conceive
that the position of these isles over
against their own western coast would
be so threatening to their commerce
in war between the United States
and any naval power that they can
not suffer the islands to be occupied
by, or even fall under the influence
of any European nation. No Eu-
ropean nation has so far betrayed
any design of acquiring such an in
fiuence. However, the United States
Government, wishful to provide
against emergencies, has endeavored
to purchase land at Pearl River, in
Oahu, reputed the best harbOr in the
islands, with the view Of establishing
a naval station there.
Are we still living under the
same Government of the United
States to which Mr.. Bryce referred,
or have we been translated to the
Mugwump heaven [ will thank
you to inform me.

Oriental peoples. They do not join
with US to build up a society and a
state, but retain, in this foreign
land, the habits and sentiments of
their own. When they emigrate
they change, as the Latin poet OBJ
serves, their skins, but not their
manners.
There are Chinese merchants of
long residence and good character
in Hawaii, who have large interests
here, and who are better qualified
to vote than hundreds of those who
for years have abused that privi
lege. We cordially recognize, also,
the fact that there are in our midst
many highly-educated and worthy
japanese who are an honor to their
own, as they would be to any, race.
But these are the exceptions. De
nlinimis non curdt Le1. The great
mass of those of both races who
are in Hawaii belong to the lowest
class, and are in every way unfit
to be entrusted with the franchise
Their numbers alone would make
their exclusion from it necessity
of self preservation for Hawaii,
even were they much better quail
fed than they are. Under such
we believe it to be
the duty of the educated Japanese
not to trouble Hawaii by pressing
for political privileges, but to rest
content with the protection of the
laws, exactly as Americans do who
happen to reside in Europe.

Little Giant rat traps have
been known to catch two rats
at a time; we sell them to
catch one at each setting. ii
they do more than that you
are the winner.
We have a large stock OF
brass and painted bird cages
which we are selling at very
low prices to meet the strin-
gency OF the times. Birds are
luXurles and should be kept as
economically as possible; the
first step in the direction of
saving In expense of Il
luxury of this sort should
be at the cage = often
the bird costs you nothing.
The painted cage is the cheap
est and will last until you
grow tired of it.
We heard a funny thing the
other day about the material
for our locked fence. We have
been shipping this to custom
ers all over the group without
regard to politics, age, sex or
previous condition of servitude
of the person ordering it. At
Lahaina, we have a customer
who recognized in the locked
fence the best fencing he ever
saw, and gave us an order.
When the goods reached the
port, some curious individual
examined the bundles of stays
and concluded at once that
they were steel ram rods for
guns and Immediately started
a rumor that we were shipping
arms to the other islands. The
only thing that surprises US is
that the efficient clerk at the
MarshaFs Office has not been
down to see why we had not
procured a permit. We can
understand how the curiousin
dividual took the stays for ram
rods; they are made of steel
and are about the same size as
the old fashioned article used
for hammering in the powder
and shot. Any of the old
timers here will remember
what a steel ram rod is and
will understand from the COM
parison what a steel fence
Stay is like and almost how
much pressure it will stand. 1t
is about the best description
we can give you. They cost |
you only six dollars d hundred
and the washers fifteen cents
4 pound. Send US an order |
and let US assist you that far |
n making the best fence you
ever saw.

MIR. Coffee In Vain WOOs His Lost
Bird With Talk About a Cracker.
A parrot with a saucy head and an ag-
gravating look in its beady eyes, gazed con-
temptuously down upon a crowd of men,
women n children, Saturday afternoon,
from its perch on one of the upper branches
of a tree in front of fire headquarters on
Bay street. 1t seemed to be perfectly happy
and commended where it was, and did not
show any desire to go back to the cage
which its owner, Mr.. William Coffee of No.
217 First street, held open and tried to o "a
it to enter.
Mr.. Coffee, after calling sPretty Poll"
stPoll want a cracker and other fascinating
Establishments to the pretty representative
of the tropical chimes, visited fire head
quarters and asked Chief Conway to lend
him a hose or a ladder SO he could get the
bird down.
Mr.. Coffee is a native of that land, whose
color predominates in the parrot, and there
fore like all of his countrylnen, full of good
rumor and wit. SIS when the firemen sug-
| gested many and various ways OF capturing
sPoll' that were more amusing b
practical. Mr.. Coffee, although somewhat
depressed in spirits by the prospect of losing
| his pet. enjoyed the fun as much as the rest.
At SIX o'clock the parrot was still in the
tree nodding his head in defiance at the
| crowd below and refusing to talk.

Tyler Smashes A Record For A Mile
with Pacing.

The splendid performance of "PInkey"
Bliss, which resulted last month in q new
and sensational record for the paced mile,
flying start, at Waltham, was eclipsed Sat
urday afternoon onthe same track by Harry
Tyler. who covered the distance 1:53 4-5, just
one second faster. The conditions were re-
markably good, the breeze, which had been
blowing all day, dying almost completely
out at 5:45 o'clock, when the starter sent him
away to q good pickup by a tandem team.
Tyler has remarkable staying qualities, as
will be shown by a comparison of his inter
mediate time with that made by Bliss. Ty-
Ter also has a good deal of reserve energy,
which he let loose on the last quarter. Here
are the times:-

half. 0:26 30; two-thirds, lis 40; three
fourths, 1:25; mile, 1:53 As.
1t will be seen by this that Bliss interme-
date time was faster than Tyier's by three
fourths, which was a tie.
