A Pie-sener Who Became Prince.

A Pie-Seller Who Became Prince.
One of the most celebrated OF Rus
sian families has just become extinct
by the death at Baden OF Prince Men,
tchikoff The founder of the house
was a pastry cooks assistant who
hawked pies in the MuscOvite capital.
By some means or other he obtained
an inkling of projected revolt of
the Cars body guard, and informed
Peter the Great of the fact, who
showed his gratitude in the most
generous manner, raising the young
fellow by degrees to the rank of gen.
eral in the army and prince of the
empire. On the death OF the En-
peror MentchiKoff secured the sue
cesSion to Catharine, who. in return,
caused Peter III. to marry the Princes
daughter. This seemed To turn his
head, as he became so arrogant that
the Emperor ended by disgracing him
and sending HIM to Siberia, where he
commanded the Russian army as chief
during the Crimean war, OF which he
was one of the principal originatOrs.
After his disastrous defeat at the
battle of Alma he was deprived of
his command, which was entrusted
to Prince GortschakoT. and he died
some time after in obscuritY and par
tial disgrace. His son, the last of
the race, lived almost entirely abroad,
keeping aloof from politics and de-
voting his energies to the turf. Like
the remainder of his family he be-
longed to the vigorously conservative
school of the Russian nobility, and
made no pretence Of Disgusting his
contempt for the efforts made Of late
years to bring the institutions Of his
country into conformity with western
civilization.

We learn the foregoing contract

RECEPTION ON THE TAXA
CHINO.

The bountiful hospitality Of the
officers Of the japanese navy was
enjoyed last night by Honolulu
society people. All of the unique
elements Of ship life added to the
beauty Of the scene and the pleas
ure Of the guests. The spirit
which pervaded the entertainment
was one of the friendliest courtesy.
A mark of the spirit which per-
vades the relations between the
two Governments at the present
time.
This must continue to be the
distinguishing feature of Hawa-
iian diplomacy and though we can
not give the franchise to the Japa-
nese residents we can impress upon
their Government that in every
commercial and social respect they
shall enjoy the fullest protection
and security.

THERE is a strong undertone
against public concerts where Ha-
waiian airs ola questionable charac-
ter are rendered. Complaints have
reached the STAR, from reliable
sources, that songs of a nature
which should not be tolerated in
public have been openly sung at
recent concerts. 1t is alleged that
some of the "hulas' at the hotel
last Saturday evening were partic-
ularly unrefned. One young lady,
a late arrival from California, after
listening to the concert mentioned
requested repetition of one Of these
questionable airs while visiting
private family. Her chagrin upon
learning that such songs could not
be repeated in the home circle can
be better imagined than described.
This continued offense to the feel
ings Of the more refined and moral
portion ofthe community has reach
ed a point where it is happily pro-
voking discussion and it is to be
hoped some steps will be taken,
before the matter goes further, to
abate this public nuisance.

largely explained boy the iudcpcnd-
encc acquired in their remote isl.
and homes Far from Government,
free from the absolute domination
of the church, their circumstances
give scope for the development OF
freedom Oh normal lines and when
they come to us they are permeat-
ed with the spirit of Western polit-
ical civilization.
We cannot be persuaded that any
serious obstacle intervenes to pre-
vent a practical adoption Of further
immigration, excepting only the
dilatory methods of the Portuguese
Government. No one who has not
had the experience can realize the
exasperating and trifing causes of
delay from this source.
Whoever goes to Lisbon on this
matter must be possessed Of a
patient determination which shall
persistently and continuously press
the question to finality. This
alone will ensure success.

THOSE who support the pro
position to grant the franchise to
Asiatics are at present kept busy
through the medium of the Royalist
press, endeavoring to explain that
Chinese blunder," which absurdly
questions the authority of the Ha-
waiian Government to attend to its
diplomatic business. As a re-
minder there is but one Govern
ment in Hawaii with which bust
ness can be done, this semi Royalist
petition should be returned to the
committee with the suggestion the
blunder be corrected instead OF
being daily explained by the
foreigners who imposed it upon
the Chinese residents.

PORTUGUESE IMMIGRATION.

We have always had unreserved
confidence in these people as

as permanent settlers. No other

the Portuguese; no other has equal

stantial citizenship.

IT is unfortunate there has been
a considerable drawback to sales OF
public lands owing to past legis-
lation on this subject. The Legis-
lature of 1892, with false economy,
failed to make proper provision foi
this department Of the Government
service. The appropriation made
for surveying the property falls
short of the requirements, and thus
the present officials have scant
funds to work with. In instances
they have been compelled to throw
the cost OF surveys upon the pur-
chaser. 1t is clear, however, that
much good work has been done
with limited means, as the sales
show, and with better facilities,
further Improvements in the inter
est of settlers may be looked for in
this department.

The Radical element in Hawaii can
do no better than continue under
the leadership of Mr.. 7. B. Murray.
Although that body is made up, in
part, at least, of elements which
might, through mistaken zeal,
cripple the good work of the organ

leaders during the last campaign
commends their intelligence and
