LIGHT ON LoGARlTHMs.

An expert engineer in New England
city rendered bill to corporation who
lad employed him TO write a technical re-
port The amount OF the fec was large,
the corporation refused 10 pay it, and the
claim was carried into court
During tho trial the counsel for the cor
poration sought 10 belittlo the experts
work, raising questions as 10 his expert
ence, and, in fact, TO prove that his labor
would have been amply rewarded with
few dollars a day.

the lawyer, referring to a certain calcula-

The plaintiff smiled maliciously, took
paper and pencil and began his work. In
about five minutes the lawyer asked him

SPITEFUL JOURNALISM.

If the spiteful Bulletin had fol-
lowed the example Of the STAR and
said nothing editorially about the
squabble at the Hotel between men
from the American and British war
ships the other night, it would have
done the proper thing. Such course
however, would have shut out
our estee med English contemporary
from its usual slur on Americans
and the Republic of Hawaii: hence
its 0ery late and somewhat untimely
criticism of yesterday, in VIC
lation of the hypocritical dictum
published in the same article that
least said is soonest mended." If
the Bulletin had been sincere it would
have followed the advice it ladies
out to Americans and its contem-
poraries-and have kept still.
The public will also probably
search i'll vain for the alleged con-
nection between the STARS editori-
ais, the dispatches of the United
Press and the late exchange of
amenities between the naval
syphons who occasionally re-
lieve the liquid pressure on
the Hotel bar. The BHiiFhR will
be justly disappointed in its present
attempt to hang a racial and
national significance on the dis
pute in question and can rest
assured in its prophesy that moth
ing which has occurred is going
to change these happy international
relations. 1t is unfortunate the
Bulletin did not follow the example
set and sleep off" its political
spleen as the disputants did their
quarrel.

THE EGYPTIAN PARALLEL.

In a review of Mr.. Alfred Mil
ner's recent work on England in
Egypt, published i'll the Ad7erf'Sf'
last year, attention was called to
the wonderful parallel which had
existed between the state of affairs
in Egypt and that in Hawaii; and
the position Of England with her
"veiled protectorate' i'll Egypt was
compared with that of the United
States in these Islands.
Fortunately the progress OF
events has spoiled part of the par
allel. While Egypt, if left to her
self, would undoubtedly drift back
into barbarism and anarchy, Ha-
wall has been able to organize ana
maintain an independent civilized
government in the face of hostility
from without as we'll as from with
in. Besides, it is impossible to
conceive of any British minister, OF
either party, pursuing such policy
towards British interests in Egypt
as President Cleveland undertook
to carry out last year towards the
party representing American prin-
ciples and interests in Hawaii.
One point of comparison, how
ever, between the two countries
unfortunately still holds good.
English journals complain, with
reason, of the intense jealousy
shown by the French residents in
Egypt, which has led them to OPP
pose every reform in that country.
The same charge may be made
against a certain class of foreign
residents in Honolulu, whose an
tipathy to everything American
leads them to assist the party Of
rea action and to oppose the only
course that can secure peace anc
prosperity to this country. Whole
pages of Miners book, as has beer
stated, with a few changes o
names, will apply exactly to thu
present state of affairs here.
For example, he says: II ell
tirely despair Of being able to con
vey to my readers any idea of the
unbiidled license in which some
foreign journals in Egypt,
and the "Bosphore, above
all others, are accustomed
to indulge when criticisine
the conduct of the Government il
the persons Of its principle mem
bers." This quotation exactly
describes the course of certain
Royalist newspapers of Honolulu
where their case is hopeless. TIT
time has now certainly come whel
all residents of whatever nationality
who have stake in this country
should put aside such miserabl
jealousies and work together 70
the peace and prosperity of tn
commonwealth.

A young American once found himself in
an English country house. He was not Il
bad young American, but he carried the
habit of self glorification beyond the pos
sible point, so that he got himself disliked,
and ordinary men said that he was liar.
A son of the house took him aside and
spoke to him delicately upon the subject.
WAL" the American said, "it would
hurt me to offend any of your insular pref
udices, but the fact is that when | com
mence to bluff my tongue sorter runs away
with me. I'd take it kindly if you'd give
me a nudge or kick or something when
you think I'm spreading it too thick"
The son of the house said he would. That
night the American took an English heir
ess in to dinner, and she happened to refer
to conservatores. 1t started the American.
