A WASHINGTON Opinion.

Ex-Queen Lii announces that
she will sue the United States
for damages in an immense sum
for evicting her from the premises
known as the Hawaiian throne, and
it is intimated that she has an
equally strong ground of action for
breach of promise in failing to re-
store her to those premises after
promising so to do. Her principal
witnesses are Grover Cleveland of
New York, Walter @. Gesham of
Illinois and James II. Blount of
Georgia. It is well known how
these witnesses will testify, and it
is believed that their testimony
will have great weight with the
present administration of the Unit
ed States. If the President should
instruct the Acknowledgement to
confess judgment in such a suit,
(and how could the President re-
sist claim in respect to which he
has so frequently pleaded guilty
for the United States?) some mil
lions probably of additional reve-
nue. will be needed, and the WAYS
and Means Committee must make
provision to meet this claim. In
the breach of promise suit brought
by the widow Dominis, Uncle Sam
may perhaps profit by the elder
Weller's advice to Mr.. Pickwick
and approve an alibi. He was
elsewhere at the time of the max
ing of the alleged promise, and it
may turn out that this suit should
be brought against Mr.. Cleveland
personally, and not against the
United States in the person of its
President But whatever view may
be taken of the possibility of re-
ducing In part the amount of Mrs.
Dominis' recovery, the important
bearing which this suit has upon
the size of the treasury deficiency
and the character of revenue legis-
lation is obvious, and neither the
Secretary of the Treasury nor the
Ways and Means Committee can
afford to ignore the matter.

Precious Monroe Doctrine.
he St. James Gazette SAYS:

The st. James Gazette says:
The precious Monroe doctrine seems
TO be construed into allowing the
United States alone to interfere in
South American affairs.
The precious Monroe doctrine was
not invoked by Admiral Benham.
If the British Admiral had openly
taken the part of the insurgents,
and the American Admiral had init
mated that England had no right
to pull down or set up governments
in America, the latter would have
given the Monroe doctrine as his
authority. But the question was
simply one Of affording protection
to national vessels engaged in law
full commerce. The English Gov
eminent had chosen TO say that
British merchant vessels must take
the chances of war, even though
the Government had not recognized
a state of war to exist. The Amer
lean government took another view
of the case. That is all the Mon
roe doctrine there is in its. F.
Call.

While the rainy weather is
not pleasant for the pedestrian,
it teaches rs to appreciate the
sunshine when it is here. In
addition to this it creates a
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 a good
deal like certain varieties of
cheese, it speaks for itself.
Wherever a rod of this fence
has been built we have had
orders from otherparties in the
same neighborhood. Strength
and economy are the two
points which commend it to
the public.
If you can get a better article
for less money than you would
pay for an inferior one, why
not buy the best, and save
money

THE sUPERFLUOUsNEss OF SECRECY.

Last nights Star makes what
may seem to some people plausi-
BILE defense of the secrecy observed
in the American League. The line
of argument, as before, is intended
to show, first, that secrecy is very
good thing, and second, that the
League is not secret. The Star
is evidently acutely conscious
that secrecy is one of those good
things which it is easy to get too
much of.
The too much" is the disease
from which the American League is
suffering. It's debates are not open,
though the Star publishes an ex-
purgated account, which gives
about as correct an idea of them as
an edition carefully prepared for
girls and school children would of
lola. If the oath is not strange
and secret" the proof of this lies
in the hands of those who can pub
lish this oath. Every good friend
of annexation will welcome the
demonstration.
The occasional secrecy observed
by the Advisory Council is no JUS
tifcation for the invariable secrecy
practiced by the League. At the
same time the executive sessions
which used so frequently to be held
by the Councils, were deplored as
a political necessity and univer-
sally regarded as an evil. Secrecy
In matters political is everywhere
regarded with just suspicion. Lib
erty is plant which Aourishes best
under a free and open heaven.
We have never commended that
political secret societies are 40
solutely inadmissible, when their
objects are patriotic and their
methods lawful. What we do say
is that such societies cannot posi-
bly, claim to be entitled to any rep
resentation beyond that to which
their members may be individually
entitled as citizens. This is a pro-
position so self-evident that it needs
no defence. 1t may be argued
around; it may be met by "abus-
ing the plaintiffs attorney" but it
viii never be denied III good faith
by any intelligent man, because it
is too true.

EVERYTHING which the ADvER-
User has urged against secret po-
itical societies will apply with full
force to the case of the Schuetzen
Club, just as soon as that body
evinces the power or the disposition
to usurp functions to which it has
no claim, and to dictate to the
Councils of the Government.

HAVE THE COUNCILS CHANGED {?

The Star has, on a variety of &C.
casions, recognized to the fullest
extent, the representative character
of the Executive and Advisory
Councils of the Government, as
they were constituted on Jan. II,
1893. In an issue of a few weeks
since, for example, it says: $50
Tar as the original selections went.
the Council was representative in a

| wide and popular degree. A lew
days later, speaking of the original
Council, it said: "To the Stars
mind, that Council could have been
but slightly improved upon" Re-
ferring to the representative princi-
pie, it said, with a fresh effusion of
admiration, "The wise men who
constituted the Hawaiian Advisory
Council in the first place recog-
nized that great and enduring
principle"
Within a few weeks our evening
contemporary has made the dis
covery that, although the Councils
were originally representative, they
have now ceased to be so. 1t has
come to its knowledge that as
time passed on, many of the popu-
lar representative went out of the
Council and their places were taken
by men who invariably stood, and
not by virtue of a coincidence, for
single important industry" The
original Council was widely repre-
sentative, popular, satisfactory and
hardly to be improved upon. The
present is "not representative of
either the varied interests of the
islands or the mass of the sup
porters of the Provisional Govern
ment or the policy of annexation.
1t is upon this tremendous, this
revolutionary change in the char
acter of the Councils, that the Star
bases its demand that representa-
ton be accorded to a political
secret society.
Now look on these two lists:
ORIGINAL COUNCILS. PRESENT COUNCILS.

f. Wilhelm, J. p. Mendonca,

The above lists require no COM
ment. They are an absolute de-
that the charges made
against the representative character
Of the Councils are false. Every
one who has been in this country
long enough to know anything
about its affairs, must know that
the Council is not a whit less repre-
sentative now than it was a year
ago. The Star has a high eulogy
for the men who constituted the
Council a year ago. Yet these men
stand now just where they did
then, and are in favor of the same
principles and the same Govern
ment.

The young people of the Willow
are becoming good spoilers as the
result of the revival of ye old time
spelling school. The match be-
tween district 70 and the Willow
school resulted in a victory for the
latter. Misses Baker and Wood
worth favored the audience with
some select music after which the
spelling began. In the free-for-al
Horace Taylor won the laurels.
Misses Stangeland and Rittenhouse
both have model schools. Miss
Nettie Helm of the Willow school
won the victory. We understand
the Ball district has challenged
the victors with the intention OF
%divesting them of some of their
conceit, which. it is supposed they
now possess. Box Elder is also
DESTROYS of competing with them.

FREE HOME TREATMENT.
CATARRH CURES BY THOUSANDS BY
DIR. HARTMAN.

The symptoms of chronic ca,
tarrh vary according to the stage
and exact location of the disease.
The first stage of catarrh of the
nose and head produces discharge
from the nose, sneezing, pain in
the eyes and forehead, weak, and
sometimes watery eyes, occasion
ally loss of memory. In the last
stage the discharge ceases, and
dry, offensive scabs form in the
nose; polypi growths sometimes
form in one or both nostrils, and
the pain in the head and eyes is
much less. Unless something is
done to prevent, the catarrh will
follow the mucous membrane into
the lungs, where it will be followed
by coughs, night sweats, rapid loss
of flesh and other dread symptoms
of consumption.
10 all Sucn persons LII. dart
MAPS treatment comes as a great
boon. It is only necessary to send
name and address to DIR. Hartman,
Columbus, Ohio, and complete di-
rections for first months treatment
will be sent free. Not only is it
more successful in curing catarrh
than the treatment of the catarrh
specialists, hut it is within the
reach Of every person in this land.
A medicine which is the principal
part of DR.. Hartman's treatment,
known as Pe-ru-na, can be bought
at any drug store, and is a remedy
without equal for catarrh i'll all
forms, coughs, colds, bronchitis,
consumption, and all climatic dis
eases of winter. Each bottle is
accompanied with complete direc-
tons for use.

Manufacturing Company, Column

any address.

providing for the erection of a pubic
building at Brockton, Mass, was favor
ably reported from the committee on pub
lie buildings and grounds After this,
without being able to fix limitation to de-
bate, the house went into committee of
whole on the seigniorage bill. and the
question occupied the entire day.
The Peckham fight occupied most of the
day in the senate. The anti peckham
men are somewhat more confident of the
result than are his friends. They display
estimates of the vote. giving 43 votes
against confirmation, sufficient to insure
rejection, and IL doubtful, of which they
claim they will secure five or six. The
friends of Mr.. Peckham, while displaying
no estimates and not making such ex-
plicit claims. are still hopeful, and say
they are making gains.

Several amendments were proposed
and were rejected. The bill was then
