Tried TO Get IYeu.

Five Japanese were arrested at
Waianae plantation yesterday for
placing distractions on the rail
road track. 1t seems that they
had a grievance against the engi-
neer who runs the locomotive and
made the attempt to derail the
train. The engineer saw the pile
of wood ON the track and stopped
his engine a few feet on the safe
side. The train contained a large
number Of japanese laborers at
the time.

Tn. Old Bandboys viii Make n Fight
at the Coming Session OF the Leg
islature tor Acknowledgement.

1t is generally accepted as a
fact that the members of the old
band will make fight at the COM
ing session of the Legislature for
reinstatement. Of course they
want to dictate the terms under
which they will serve the Govern
ment, but the chances are that
they will not succeed in doing so.
It is understood that the boys are
willing to work again, but they are
like the usual crowd of strikers,
"you must take US all or none at
all"
There are about thirty-six men
in all of different grades of efficien-
cy, some good and some bad. The
latter are not wanted at any price,
go the authorities say.
The bandboys have not had reg
ular employment for nearly two
years. A few days after the mon
archy was overthrown they refused
to take the oath of allegiance, so
they had to go. Professor Berger
hunted around and secured men,
so the regular concerts were not
interfered with to any great ex-
tent. Finally he made arrange
ments to secure a number of mu-
sicians in San Francisco, and the
nucleus of the present excellent Or
ganization was formed. The band
as it stands today gives satisfac-
ton to the public at large. Of
course, much of the success is due
to Professor Berger who is an ex-
ceedingly hard worker.
Some of the old band boys are
working on the wharves and a few
are on the other islands. The ma
jority would gladly return to work
for the Government.

JAMES FRESH TELLS ABOUT IT
He Sizes Up the Situation in
Few Minutes.
A Newspaper Calls Him "Gentleman'
Instead OF sorehe.d.-How Guns
Were Landed on the Beach.

despite all stories to the contrary,
there is storm brewing in Hawaii
that may ere long burst in revolu-
ton" That is the situation as sum-
med up in few words by a gentle
man just returned by the Warrimoo
from the Sandwich Islands, says a
late Victoria Colonist.
The gentleman goes on to say: sin
the first place, in spite of all precau-
tions taken by President Dole's gov
eminent, arms in considerable guam
titles have been struggled into the
islands. While i was there during
the last few days of November 500
stand of arms disappeared and it was
also reported that 1000 stand, with
ammunition, shipped from Tacoma,
had been smuggled into Sans SoucI.
The general feeling Iervading all
classes, in spite of the assurance OF the
friends OF the present administration,
is that war will come and that soon.
The executive buildings at Honolulu
are strongly guarded, guns planted at
at the doors and others in the grounds
commanding the approaches, while
soldiers parade about as thick as flies
and mounted police are constantly 10
be met.
"The members of the army receive
$40 a month or at least were getting
that last month. There was trouble
in the army at the beginning of the
present month. The men concluded
they were not getting enough pay
and the strange spectacle of an army
'on strike was the result. The men
demanded $50 month, but whether
they got il or not do not know, as
the Government settled the matter in
some way but did not let a word leak
out as to whether or not they acceded
TO the mems demands. i rather fan
cy they did, however, and that was
the general impression.
Another worry for the Govern
ment was little difficulty with the
Portuguese. At the time the Govern
ment got the upper hand they sup
piled lot of Portuguese with arms
TO aid in keeping the peace. The Por-
tuguese, however, after a while came
to the conclusion they were not well
treated and their arms now have dis |
to increase the ma |
tives' secret armament in preparation |
for the expected revolt"

SUNDAY. AUGUST 19, 1894.
Mr.. Jones's Speech.

That the speech OF Hon. William A.
sones. OF this State. commented upon by
us few days ago, has merits. Is shown
by the fact that IL called forth a column
Of editorial in the leading Republican
journal OF the West-namely, the Cincin-
natl Commerciai-Gazette paper which
Mr.. Halstead rendered famous. However.
our Cincinnati contemporary either read
Mr.. Joness speech csrelessly. or else was
not above msrepresenting 1t. There was
nothing in 1t to which any true American
could Justinably take exception. On the
contrary, Mr.. Jones was exceedingly eau
tious In selecting his words, and used
them so as that nobody in the North
could reasonably find fault with him for
his utterances. His references to the pa
trlo;Ic soldiers of the Union army were
such as the most devoted Union man
might have made without any fear OF Of
tending the men who made "Old Glory
their rallying cry.
The Commercial Gazette ought TO ascer-
tain whether the statements made by Mr..
Jones are true before IL undertakes 10
censure him for having made them. Is
81 not true, as Mr.. Jones stated. that by
FAR the larger part Of those who fought
thc battles OF the Union in our late civil
war were the recipients of bounties which
in every case amounted to $500. and in
many instances were as much as 81 ,000?'
Not only Is this statement true, but Mr..
Jones furnished full authority for It. He
quoted the official figures Of the United
States Government ii was these merce-
naries that Mr.. Jones had in mind when
he spoke OF 1.-THE hordes WHO fiocked TO
our shores during the memorable years
from 1861 TO 1865. and said that the in
centive aetuatlng "A large majority OF
1hem was either gain or adventure.
No, Mr.. Jones used no harsh words in
speaking OF the men who worthily wore
the blue. lie had not word ~ say of
them which II was not proper to say.
On the contrary. he pleaded the cause OF
she real, patriotic. soldiers when he de-
nounced the soldiers OF fortune. The Du-
rald Dalgettlss are the only men who
can complain because Mr.. Jones. follow
ing the advice Of President Cleveland. has
essayed to make the pension-lst a roll
OF honor. 1t is wrong done 10 him by
our Cincinnati contemporary when that
paper charges him with desire TO sweep
the pensions from the statute-book."

Our Voluntesr Militia

The record presented on page OF the
Dispatch this morning Of the active ser
vice that has been rendered by the States
volunteer militia since the reorganization
IF the force in 1871 ought to put at rest
all question as TO the duty Of according
The military hearty support and encour-
ngement The facts, which are for the
most part taken from the official re-
ports Of the Adjutant-General, are preg-
nant with suggestions to every citizen
who champions law and order and has
due regard for the good name Of the
Commonwealth.
Virginia was q military State before
The war. and although Virginians have
an inherent respect for the law. to the
military spirit that prevailed were due In
U measure at least the peace and the
quiet that reigned within her borders.
That spirit operated in two ways to con-
esce TO order. 1t especially inculcated
obedience TO constitutional authority on
the part Of those who belonged to military
commands, and was q constant reminder
20 all others that the majesty OF the law
would be indicated at all hazards.
Since the war conditions have been
forced upon us which render 1t more
necessary than ever before in the history
Of the Commonwealth that the civil au-
thorities should be prepared TO quell at a
moments notice any outbreak that
threatened to get beyond their power.
This safeguard TO the reputation Of the
Etate--this assurance of protection to lie
and property-can only. as the experience
OF the last twenty years has shown, be
secured through the maintenance OF q
welhorganized and well-disciplined mill
tary force.
by sustaining the volunteer militia and
stimulating the military spirit the people
OF Virginia will not only serve notice 10
the world that they retain their time
honored respect for order and the law,
but will afford the strongest OF Induce
ments to capital and a good class OF I'M
migrants to come into the State. The
story Of the twenty-seven times our
citizen soldiers have responded to the
call OF the civil authorities amounts TO
guarantee that no such continued dis-
order and protracted violence as have Cd
tanned in the North and West would De

A Word to the Democrats.

The celebrated Sam Slick said that
whenever his grandfather began to scold
his grandmother she told him that he
might as well quit scolding at once, see
ing that he would surely find it neces-
sary TO quit before long. We advise the
various factions Of the Democratic party
to profit by the advice Of that famous
old lady. These factions employ Ian
guage in speaking OF one another which
they will wish to recall before the fall
campaign Is fairly opened.
The distinguishing feature Of the creed
of the indestructible old Democratic party
is its adherence to the doctrines laid
down by the fathers of the republic as
to the respective powers of the Federal
and State governments. Men may come
and men may CO." but principles go on
forever The light that shone upon the
pathway of those fathers may be some
what dimmed just now, but it Will ere
long blaze out anew.
