VOICE OF THE PRESS.

The refutation which Mr.. Kurino
has been at the pains to make touch
ing the story as to the likelihood of
disturbances in Hawaii, to be created
by Japanese residents, is timely. It
happens that yesterday was appointed
by the Japanese in Honolulu IS a day
of rejoicing for celebrating the victo-
ries of their countrymen over China,
and it is said that the authorities re-
solved to allow artillery salutes to add
to the hilarity and complete the
honors of the occasion, although posi-
bly, not overjoyed to grant this privil-
eye. Thus this fact may be connected
with the queer story of Japanese plots
or ambitions in Hawaii, which Mr..
Kurino answers by saying that his
countrymen there are orderly
and Industrious, and have no
military aspirations or training.
While Mr.. Kurino is justified in in
sisting on the peaceful character of
the Japanese in the islands, yet Presi-
dent Dole's Government naturally
does not forget that at late reckon
ing there were 1880 of them, or more
than six times the number of Ameri-
cans, and that they do not enjoy the
political rights conferred on some
other residents. That they are not
really destitute of national pride is
indicated by this celebration of their
country's victories on the battlefield.
We may expect, however, to hear in
due time that the celebration passed
off without disorder. There is no
ground yet for supposing that the
Japanese element is dangerous one
for the liberties of Hawaii.
Corinto has been evacuated by the
British and the Nicaraguans have re-
turned to their own. Naturally there
is much rejoicing at the result, for
while the smart money must be paid,
it is to be turned over with some re-
gard to the feelings of the payer and
through third party. The incident
is one that will be remembered and
to by students of interna-
been reached through the mediation
of the United States rather than by
the help of Honduras, and our govern
ment has failed where it might have
scored an important advantage -
Lynn (Mass.) Item.
If American commerce is to be bene-
flied by the changes brought about in
Japan and China, American mer-
chants ought to take advantage, as
as possible, of the existing
and the approaching opportunities. A
good number of Japanese merchants
have come to this country and are in
Japanese wares into our
markets. Enterprising Americans
ought to take advantage of this cir
to promote the advance
ment of desirable exchanges.-N. Y.
Sun.

1ations can make up their minds to |

CONSUL GLADE in letter accom-
panying his report on the Elbe dis
aster says, "Hard as their loss has
been they cannot blame any one
man for it, but have to bow down
before God Almighty's will" Now
that time has done its work in
effacing certain memories of that
disaster in many households, the
disposition to accuse any one man
of having been accountable for the
wanton destruction Of life. The
question now comes, what use is
being made Of the terrible lesson
which the Elbe wreck taught ?
What is being done to prevent
a repetition of such an event ?
MAN proposes and God disposes,"
but it bids fair for mankind not to
trust in Providence to always pro-
tect them from the results of their

CAPTAIN KIDD AGAIN.

George Parsons Lathrop, born on
these islands, and the husband of
Rose Hawthorn, contributes to the
New York Sun a long article on
the history of the great pirate. He
has collected a mass of valuable
material and proves beyond ques-
ton that Kidd was not a blood
thirsty pirate. He was first tried
and convicted of the murder of one
of his own crew, who had used
mutinous language, and he was
also tried and convicted for Selling
one vessel called the "Queddah"
and confscating her property. It
is admitted that he held a royal
commission from King William to
seize all pirates and to destroy
French shipping. His men, how
ever, got no money out of this and
forced him to seize several trading
vessels.
In order to relieve himself from
odium, King William III. declared
him to be an outlaw. There is evil
dence to show that Kidd was
mixed up in political quarrels in
England, and that he was finally
sacrificed to save the king and
cabinet, who were charged with
being hia partners in priyateering. |
This was true, as the king got one
tenth Of the booty. Of course, the

CHICAGO is always cropping out
with new ideas Of one kind and
another, some good ones and others
not entirely satisfactory. One of
the latest is the establishing of a
circulating picture gallery made up
of about fifty reproductions of
standard works of art. Each pic
ture may be taken out for two
weeks without charge and without
security. There are many excel
lent possibilities in this scheme
and its success after the novelty of
the thing is gone will be watched
with interest.
The Pacific commercial advertiser. [volume] (Honolulu, Hawaiian Islands) 1885-1921, 1895-06-04

enemies of the king magnified the
acts of Kidd, and sent him down
in history as a bloodthirsty villain,
rather than as a retired New York
merchant. who had foolishly un-
dertaken to command a privateer,
and in doing so got mixed up in
several questionable transactions.
The foolish stories about his
buried booty are still believed, and
even now the enthusiasts and vic
TINS of indications" are digging
along the Atlantic coast of Amer
lea in search of it.
Kidd on returning to America
in 1901, lay off Gardeners island in
Long Island Sound, and compelled
Gardner to keep some treasure for
him. The wife of the late ex-
President Tyler of the United
States was descendant of Gard
ner, and a piece Of the cloth of gold
given to her ancestor by Kidd was
often exhibited by her and is now
preserved in New York city. The
cloth was given, so the story runs,
to the wife of Gardner, as a return
for roast pig which she presented
to the pirate on his demand.

ONE of the measures to be
brought before the coming Legisla-
ture in the line of public works is
an appropriation for the improve
ment of the Pail road. Several
gentlemen who have property in
terests on the other side of the ISL
and stand ready to purchase bonds
to carry out the work which, when
completed, will prove valuable
addition to the attractions about
Honolulu. With the Koolau dis
trict of easy access, the Tantalus
lots put on the market and finally
an electric railway, the opportuni-
ties for suburban homes will at
tract local as well as foreign CAPT
tai. Money invested in the inn
provement of roads in any and all
districts of the islands is bound to
reap rich returns in the near future.

turned first to the United
States for help in her trouble
with England, the chief honors
of the settlement are carried
off by Nicaragua's neighbor,
Salvador.
A problem so difficult for the
Cleveland administration to
handle in any satisfactory way,
before Corinto was seized, has
now been easily solved through
the Salvadorean Minister in
London.
1t is now asserted in Wash
ington that the suggestion to
Salvador to put herself forward
was made by the Department
of State. Be that as it may, it
does not take from her the
credit of her act.
1t only raises the question
why British occupation of Cor
into was awaited before a
settlement was reached. Of
course, Salvador was power
less to demonstrate or reason
with England while threaten
inc her would have been ont
of the question. Salvador has
not a solitary warship, nor is
she of such importance to Eng
land that she could be counted
upon to help her. She simply
satisfied herself with the brief
est examination that Nicaragua
could and would pay the
money demanded by Great
Britain, oferedherself as guar
antor, and the whole thing was
over.
Salvador is the smallest
sovereign state in this hemis-
phere. In area she is less than
New Jersey; in population not
equal to Connecticut. But in
Nicaragua's hour of distress it
is she, rather that has proved
herself the giant and the
United States the pigmy. 1t
is said that Coming events
cast their shadows before
them" Can it be possible
that the United States will
again play the part of the pig
my as regards diplomacy in
connection with these islands?
Imitation is the sincerest
hattery and there can be no
better evidence of the super
iority and value of the Pennsyl-
VIVA Lawn Mower. We re-
gard durability as the first i'm
portance, and with decent care
one of the mowers ought to
last a life time. We regard |
beauty of design, which means
graceful outlines as being of
as much Importance as the
durability. It is one of the
lightest and easiest running
lawn mowers ever placed upon
the market, a child can run it
and considers it is fun. A
well kept lawn is one of the
many things that go to make
home attractive and inviting.
You use the lawn mower to
keep the grass well trimmed,
but grass will not grow to any
extent without encouragement.
Nature is very lavish with her
gifts, but we must not expect
ner to do everything.
Take a few minutes of your
time some morning and invest
n a good quality garden
nose, and attach it to
one of our Ball Nozzle
lawn Sprinklers. No direct
ons are necessary. Turn on
he water-the ball does it all.
The Ball Nozzle once seen
sells itself. It is a perfect
avn sprinkler and reproduces
he April shower. Another
point is that it is one of the
'est tree irrigators, and this
eature should be thoroughly
nd carefully investigated.
