sED1T1oUs MUSIC.

The suggestion is made that it is
about time to stop the playing of
seditious music by the members of
the National Band. No doubt it is
true that the Band is a nucleus of
political discomfort, and that the
adherents of Mrs. Dominis never
feel so sad or so mad as when they
hear the strains of the Liliuokalani
March, and are reminded thereby
that the good old days of royal
junketing are gone for ever. But
this is no reason for attempting to
check and confne the seditious
breath which is blown into the
horns and trombones. It is better
there than bottled up inside, and
if music has any charms to soothe
royalist melancholy, why, in COM
mon humanity, let music sound.

A PRECEDENT.

This mornings ADVERTISER con-
tains a translation of an alleged
cipher dispatch from Charles X.
Of France to the then French Min
lister. Our readers will possibly be
disposed to doubt the authenticity
of this dispatch. But why should
they? 1t is no more than a prece-
dent for diplomatic transaction of
Of which all of Us have been wit
nesses. If there are fools in Amer
lea, may there not have been fools
In France? It would be most un-
just, most unpatriotic, to deny it.
There is one feature of this matter
which is worth noticing. Charles
x. was dethroned very soon after
the date of this alleged piece of
diplomacy. His case then should
furnish a warning, not an example,
and his imitators in the United
States should take heed lest, follow
ing in his footsteps, they share his
political fate.

DODGING THE COMMITTEE.

1t was expected that Secretary
Gresham would be the first anC
most important witness called by
the Senate subcommittee on For
eign Relations, but just before the
committee was to meet, President
Cleveland took Secretary Gresham
under his wing and they went down
the Potomac in search Of fish and
game. If telegram received by
Logan Carlisle is to be credited
Gresham is having good success
with the game, for the telegram
stated that the party were having a
nice time, but that Gresham had
all the chips.
The Senate is in earnest in its
inquiry into the Hawaiian question.
and all that Gresham can gain by
lodging the committee will be q
delay of a very few days. Mr..
Cleveland has found out by this
time that even his own party does
not sympathize with him in his
desire to overturn the Provisional
Government and restore Liliuoka-
lani, and he probably wants TO de-
fer the evil day as long as possible
when Gresham will have to tell
what instructions he gave to Minis
ter Willis, verbal as well as writ
ten.
Senator Morgan, of Alabama.
the chairman of the Committee on
Foreign Relations, is regarded as
an able international and constitu-
tional lawyer, and it is not believed
that he indorses the course of the
President, though a member of his
party. He would be willing, per-
haps, to drop the inquiry, but he
knows the whole country demands
that the veil of mystery which has
been thrown around the Hawaiian
affair be removed, and he will do
his duty on the committee, no mat
ter who may be affected by the
results of the inquiry.
As for Gresham, the MISSING
witness, he must say when exam.
ined that he acted under the direc-
tons of the President, for he would
not venture to devise and initiate
foreign policy on his own motion.
His letter to the President was, as
everyone must have seen, nothing
but a reflection of the Presidents
views and ideas, and he may well
disclaim the responsibility for the
letter and put it where it belongs

TWENTY YEARS OF HAWAIIAN HIS.
TORY.

Prof. Alexander contributed to
Mr.! Blount's report a brief histor-
ical sketch of the twenty years pre-
ceding the revolution. 1t is neces-
sarily very concise, but covers the
main points. So far as we are
aware, there is no other account of
these years which can enter into
competition with this. The school
history, which Mr.. Alexander him
self wrote, was prepared on behalf
of the Government for use in the
schools, and in the nature of the
case it could only touch very light
ly on matters of a political nature
affecting the reputation of per-
sons then ruling. Moreover, its
narrative of the events of Kala-
kaua's reign was not intended to be
more than an appendix, barely
enumerating the principal occur
rences.
Prof Alexander is recognized as
the leading authority on Hawaiian
history. He has made a thorough
study of the subject and has his
facts at his fingers ends. This
narrative will be highly priced. 1t
will bring back to the minds of
many, events, the details of which
had already begun to fade from the
memory; events, too, which should
not be forgotten in times like these.
We take great pleasure in pre-
senting to our patrons this morning
a first installment of this invalua-
BILE narrative. 1t will be followed
from day to day by others until our
readers have the whole of a paper
which Is now made public for the |
first time.

In the Courts.

The Supreme Court has filed a
decision in the case of the Provi-
slonal Government VS.. Yoshimoto
Sakuhachi, charged with the Illicit
distillation of liquor. The jury
found defendant guilty, and the
case comes before the Court on ex-
ceptions.
The evidence against defendant
consisted principally in the posses
sion of the liquor and apparatus
for distilling. Such possession is
made prima facie evidence of guilt
by the Act of '84. Chapter 1913 of
the Laws of 1928 repeals some of
the provisions of the Act of '94,
and the defense claims that the
clause making possession prima
1acle evidence was also repealed by
Implication. The Court hold other
wise, and hold also that defendants
statement that the liquor was made
by his wife does not as a matter of
law rebut the presumption raised
by the fact of possession. That was
for the jury to decide. The excep-
lions were therefore overruled.
VIM. Wond, ex-Deputy-Sheriff of
Eva, has been granted a license to
practice law in inferior courts.
The guardian in the estate of
Andre Machado has filed his &C
count for 1893.
The executors of the will of Geo. |
Lucas have filed their first and |

ion praying for their discharge.

on Monday, would have been ham.
pered by something besides Ha.
waiian law.
In the first place ships intending
to take Chinese emigrants are re.
quired to give notice to the authori-
ties with full specification of all
particulars in regard to place OF
destination, terms of contract and
SO forth. They are required to pro-
cure special license, and cannot
clear without it. The shipmaster
must give bond conditioned upon
the faithful performance of every
thing required by the law. General
licenses are only issued for vessels
carrying laborers not under con-
tract.
The ships must be provided with
hospital accommodations and
medical inspector. They must al
low space sufficient for the health
and comfort of each passenger.
The quantity and kind of food to
be furnished is fixed by rules of
the Emigration Bureau, and in
general, everything which concerns
the health, comfort and proper
treatment of the emigrants is made
the subject of minute regulation.
No one is permitted to engage in
the business of passenger broker,
or of one who procures emigrants,
and receives passage money, with
out obtaining a license, and giving
a $4,000 bond. 1t is not probable |
that Gardiner was able to comply |
with these conditions.
The regulations thus briefly des-
,ribed refer principally to en1igra-
ion from one British colony to an
'ther. The emigration from Hong
,ong to Honolulu of Chinese
under contract is forbid
len by the Secretary of State for
he Colonies. One reason for this
is stated to be the sus-
icion and disfavor with which the
English Government looks upon
he contract labor system. An
Their is the failure Of the Chinese
government to appoint a Minister
.esident in Hawaii with full
over to look after the interests of j
hinese subjects.
The unrestricted emigration to !,
honolulu of Chinese not under
,ntract is also forbidden. We 9
ave not been able to learn the i
JASON nor the precise extent of I
lis prohibition. .
The careful manner in which Z
lis matter of emigration has been
gulated reflects great credit upon n
le humane spirit of the British q
Overnment.

Secretary Blaine Didn't Write.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 16.-The fol-
lowing statement was made public
at Augusta, Me-, last evening:
Regarding the dispatch to Secre-
tary Blaine, signed by me and
published yesterday morning, it is
proper to say that no answer was
ever received by me, and probably
none was ever written. Doubtless
Mr.. Blaine thought that standing
instructions and usages of the lega-
ton of which I then had charge,
especially Secretary Bayard's dis
patch to Minister Merrill of July
IL, 1887, were sufficient for my
guidance, thus throwing on Amer.
lean representatives at Honolulu
responsibility of dealing with facts
and emergencies, as to which they
could judge more accurately than
Washington officials. All official
dispatches received by me during
my residence in Honolulu are duly
numbered and on file in the lega-
ton at Honolulu.

have imported a stock of
Crank WaIcot's Knife
Sharpener.' This continuance
is made of compressed emery
and is shaped like scythe
stone, but much smaller in
size. 1t far surpasses the con-
ventional carver's steel for the
reason that the action is
quicker and the edge more
even. This instrument is
much harder than steel and
will sharpen anything from
the blades of the finest scissors
to the wits of a dullard. AS

found particularly useful
among the hands On sugar

s'Mr. Wainwright is out, will re-
turn in half an hour" the clerk
said, and Cleo dropped into an easy
chair by the desk to wait for him.
She was all alone in the room.
Lying back in the comfortable re-
cesses of the chair, she let her
thoughts travel back to the day she
had first come there and had first
met Mr.. Wainwright.
His desk was strewn with papers,
Just as he had left it. Cleo rose
and seated herself before it in his
chair. 1t seemed SO good to be in
his place for this once.
Tenderly and reverently she
touched the papers over which his
hand had travelled. At the end of
one document his name was signed
in his clear. bold character. "Clyde
ii. WalnWrlgnt.
Cleo lifted the paper softly in her
hands. Lower and lower her head
bent over it, and then, with pas
sionate sob, she pressed her lips to
his name.
She had entirely forgotten where
she was. She knew only that this
was her last good-hy to him. But
now she felt her hands suddenly
seized in strong grasp.
"Clpo, little girl" said a voice,
softly behind her.
At the sound of that voice she
turned, her face scarlet with shame
and humiliation, and lifted pair
of tear-dimmed eyes TO Mr.. Vain
wright's handsome ones. They had
new light in them now.
''Cleo, darling" he said tenderly,
''can it he that have been so blind
all this time as not to see the truth I?
You do love me, don't you? May
know that you do, dearest2"
II WAS full half an hour after that
Cleo raised her face to say softly:
Are you very, very suie, Mr..
Wainwright, that you really do
want me? You are SO great and
clever, and you've seen so many
other woman"
"Yes, beloved" he said in his old,
playful tone. 1--we seen great
many women. Pm quite connoi-
sseur in them, and that is why |
can tell a genuine one when find
her."
"Well, do please tell me one
thing" she said earnestly. Who
were those violets for?"
"Violetsl" he repeated. "What
violets? l don't understand"
With some hesitation Cleo ex
planned. Mr.. Wainwright opened
his eyes very wide as she recalled
the little scene that had been EN-
acted three months before At
length he burst into a merry laugh.
''Do you mean to tell me, little
girl" he said, tenderly. "that that
bunch of innocent violets has been
the cause of all this trouble? /
bought those violets for my aunt
Sylvia. She loves them, and | WAS
going mp there that night and
thought I'd surprise her with some.

sultation had developed npon Cleo,
who was bright and business-like.
For all her twenty-three years
Cleo was much OF child in some
things, and perhaps it was because
the severing of early associations
had left want in her life that Mr..
Wainwright so soon entered into
and completely filed her heart.
Cleo had never dreamed that she
was falling in love with Mr.. Vain
wright. She only knew that the
DAYS when she saw him were always
bright ones, though the city might
he nuantled in fog, that she lived
over every word and look and tone
OF his until IA new meeting brought
new happiness.
She had come to the Office to-day
filed with glad expectation that
she was to see him and talk with
him, and then those dreadful words
had come to destroy her peace.
81 wonder what she is like" she
said to herself. "If l could only see
her-or no, I don't believe l could
bear it"
Mrs. Wolston was clever woman,
Something in Cleo's tone as she re-
peated Mr.. Wainwright's message
flashed a suspicion of the truth over
her mothers mind, and she instant
ly ran up a danger signal.
Cleo, dear" she said "you
mustn't let that handsome Mr.. Vain
wright try to flirt with you. Men
like him sometimes think they have
right to amuse themselves with
any pretty girl they meet"
"Why, mamma, / don't believe
he'd dosuch a thing" exclaimed
Cleo, Indignantly.
She kissed her mother fondly, but
for the first time she could not con-
tide in her, and she soon pleaded
headache and slipped away to her
room.
Mr.. Wainwright came the next
evening, but Mrs. Wnlston was
prostrated by headache and Cleo
was compelled to receive hin.
All day she had schooled herself
for the ordeal. She was deeply hu-
INFLATED to think that she had been
bestowing her love unsought on a
man who never thought twice of her,
and she would have died sooner
than have him dream it.
But the new constraint of her
manner at once attracted his atten-
ton, and he interrupted her in the
midst of sentence with:
"My dear Miss Wolston, you're
not yourself at all tonight, and you
weren't yesterday. Now, / really
must know what is the matter"
Nothing, nothing, assure you," +"
Cleo stammered, with guilty blush.
But know there is," he per-
sisted, Haven't we become good
enough friends by this time, so that
you could tell me all about it?"
Cleo's overstrained nerves almost
gave way, but she managed to say
quite carelessly:
you're awfully kind, but really
it's nothing. | am tired"
"Then | won't keep you long to-
night don't want to kill you with
this business" And soon after he
said goodnight.
Although Cleo felt that all the
light of her life had gone out, with
proud heroism she forced herself to
meet Mr.. Wainwright just before,
but she never forgot herself. There
was a dignified reserve about her
manner that he could never break

The natty Office boy hurried him
self into the decending elevator with
a virtuous show of alacrity, while
the junior member of the firm of
Forbes & Wainwright bent over his
desk again with a half smile play
ing about his lips.
II was toward the close of Win
ter day, and han dsone Clyde Vain
wright in the inner room of lux
urious suite Of law apartments was
plodding his way through some
extremely dry-looking legal docu-
ments.
What connection could violets
possibly have with an occupation
80 prosaic2 So thought the Office
boy, and so thought, for Offices
sometimes have two doors, a sweet
faced, blue-eyed girl, who, standing
on the threshold OF the outer office,
had witnessed the little scene and
heard the words he had spoken; the
face had been bright and smiling
before, but it suddenly became grave
With an impnlsive movement she
retraced her steps, and a moment
later entered the Office by the front
door and walked to the desk where
sat Mr.. Wainwright.
"Why, how do You do, Miss VOL
ston2" he said cordially. II was
wondering to-day what had become
of you. Have a chair, please, and
give an account of yourself"
How handsome he was, thought
Cleo Wolston, so tall and manly,
with that elusive grace in every
movement that betokened culture
and good breeding.
With his great brown eyes read
ing her face Cleo dropped her own
lashes, but she felt a sharp little
pain at her heart. She did not take
the proffered chair.

and as she turned to leave he follow

"You wear a serious face to-day.
l hope there's nothing wrong" he
said kindly, looking down on her
with his hand on the knob of the
door.
"Oh, no. nothing, thank you,'
she said hastily. "Good-by." And
she escaped into the dimly lighted
hall, glad to get away from the scru-
tiny of his eyes.
In vain she tried to think cohe-
rently; her brain was in whirl.
Yet why, she asked herself, should
it come to her with such shock
that Mr.. Wainwright YVES sending
violets to some one dear TO him.
Had she forgotten that he lived
another life from the one with which
she had come into contact, that his
pleasures belonged to another
