four rare-up collars and two pair of cuffs = and though there was big crowd, at no time during the evening were more than fifteen pipes going at once, and it was possible even up to a. m. to see distinctly across the parlor. Furthermore there were only nine men and two women who became so full that carriages had to be called Where is there another place in this section that can cite one instance where there was big crowd that there was not half dozen fights? At the Fastclip racket only one shot was fired, and that passed harmleSsly through the window, grazing Nick Thompson's ear only slightly As we said before, Bungtown is the place you are looking for if you want home where your wife and daughters will have the advantages of cultivated and refined society.
 A Blank Outlook.-We sent a reporter around to interview Mayor Lushton on the political situation. His views are published below
 Reporter-"What do you think will be the outcome of the present contest, MT. Lushton?'
 The mayor-"Are you attached to the Cyclone?"
 Reporter-"Not particuarly so; I like it pretty well, though"
 The mayor-"Did old Whiskers send you to interview me?'
 RepOrter-' lie lOiQ me tO go anu ioOk up the old alcoholic reservoir with nose on him like an over-ripe tomato, and see what he had to say. l suppose he meantI you. and l am here"
 The nayor-"You tell him to take his sheet and go to As far as the election is concerned, tell him I say he vii be so - badly beat that he can never even hope for an officeI in the gift of Bungtown's citizens. He will never again have the pleasure of having his name on another ticket. I'll show the what he will get for running against gentle man."
 After this clear and concise statement of the situation the people will readily see why they should not.vote for Lushton The fallacy of his argument has been plainly set forth in the Cyclone from time to time, and the Cyclone predicts a colossal victory for the editor of this paper. We do not lose sight of the fact that we have an able opponent-one whose arguments are seemingly impreg nable, but their SophiStry we will en- deavor to expose on every occasion.
 A short time ago we wrote a short biographical sketch of Herr Won Bis marck. It left the editorial desk con- taining about fifty worlds but as it passed through the hands of our fore man it grew. From the foreman to the compoSitor 1t went on It's journey, and continued to grow. Simple John read it and it grew some more. Next the devil grasped it and the "grew-some" tale continued, until the original short item became an exhaustive search warrant going through the minutest details of Mr Bismarck's life, habits, etc. The Bungtown Historical society has taken the matter in hand. and dispatched a special envoy and preacher plenipoten- tiary to Greece for the purpose of inyes- tigating the accuracy of our statements. If any errors are found it will go hard with some of our staff.
 Boomers won't be anything new when they strike Bungtown. The majority of our ladies have been wearing the pants ever since they were married.

torial chair. Simple John.
 To the public: You must excuse this weeks paper. I am the devil, and never got out a paper alone by myself without anybody to help me before. Most of the news what put in l, found on old Whls- ker's desk. Some of it l wrote myself and what with getting out great news paper and trying to satisfy the people what come in and want to lick the boss when they know he ain't here, I've had my hands full, and find that running paper ain't what it is cracked up to be. l thought something was going to go wrong when the boss come in perfectly sober Monday morning. He was in good humor, too and after playing fir ing the shooting stick and paste pot at me. he showed the beer keg up to his desk and sitting down on it, began to write an editorial on woman's rights. He hadn't been there more than ten minutes when in rushed old lady Lushton all out of breath, waving an umbrella. and sailed into the boss like a 2-year-old She yelled: "What do you mean, you old bald-headed blanketty blank, putting my name in the same paragraph with that female hussy Miss Schrill? I'll see myself, society lady, getting out a paper with such a blank blankety blank person." and before she got half through, in jumped Mrs Crosseye, and the way she did go for old Whiskers was caution. -'HUItlnS ner ndTne III the paper dlOHS side of that woman, Bray'S It would be a blank long time before she'd help get out a woman'S edition with such trash g companions" While she stopped for breath the red head of Mrs. Judson shot in through the door. And looking down the street, the old gent saw Miss Schrill coming towards the office with buggy whip in her hand and not 10 feet behind her was Mrs, Fastclip with the old mans shotgun on her shoulder. Well, the boss just grabbed his hat and jumped out the back window, and nobody ain't seen him since. If any of our readers should see him, try to get him sobered up. Tell him if he don't get back in time to look after the woman's edition, he will find his little devil dead when he does come. and there won't be enough of the office left to print a funeral notice. I have put mo- tice on the office door that reads. 'The boss is out If you have business. go to the devil"
 Bungtown offers great Inducements for persons of refined tastes. If you are look ing for a new home and are the father of Ia family who have been accustomed to select society, locate in Bungtown. Avoid the many wild west towns that offer inn possible inducements to the stranger towns where culture and refinement are unknown. Come to Bungtown. Here we have society that is society. The boys don't go to receptions in Bungtown in their shirt sleeves, as they do in Snort vile and many of our neighboring towns There have not been more than half a dozen dresses spoilt by tobacco spit this season. Where is another place that can show a record as clean as that? Taking into consideration the number of balls, etc, we have had, this is an unprece- dented showing. and goes to prove that Bungtown is fast becoming the Newport of the west At the big blowout given by Mr. and Mrs Fastclp last Friday night we counted seven piled shirts.

Undertaken Grewsome, Bungtown's popular planter of the defunct, had quite an exciting experience last week while taking the body of old Tom Shuffell over to Snortvile. It was the first time Grew some had his new hearse out, and it is not surprising that some people did not know what it was. GrewSome was driv- ing at a leisurely rate through the dark pass when he suddenly found himself looking down the barrels of five Win cheSterS. GrewSome never thought that looking into barrels of anything could disturb him, but there was a distinct menace in each of those now surround ing him, and he does not deny that he even envied his corpse on this occasion. The highwaymen removed the box con- taining Shuffelrs body, and, throwing it on a cart, left for the mountains They evidently thought they had run up against a newfangled treasure wagon. We would liked to have seen the look on their faces when they opened the box and found, instead of a large fortune, the grinning features of old Shuffell. We say grinning, because this joke on the robbers would make even dead man laugh
 Desiring to get the views of our more prominent citizens upon the advisability of. at an early date. getting out womens edition of the Cyclone, re- porter obtained the following result:
 Mayor Lushton-Who the devil cares what the sheet gets out? It had better get out of town. is my opin- ion.
 Cyclone thinks there are enough women in this town to constitute a quorum in a women's edition, let the blamed galoot go ahead. It cuts no ice with me.
 Bill Judson--Whut's women's edi- tion?
 Major Clay-The women of Bungtown- should resent this
 Judge Crosseye--No respectable woman will take part in anything of the kind in connection with that paper
 Abe Dadson-My wife won't do it with my consent, but she might do it anyhow.
 Colonel Fastclip-My wife writes good spring poetry, but your infamous sheet will never get smell of it, begad.
 Dr. Chasem-Go ahead by all means. Business is getting dull with me lately. It will be worth thousand dollars to me.
 The reporter saw many other leading citizens. all of whom, like the above, gave us every encouragement, and the women's edition will appear in due time.
 Some thief stole the bell out of the church steeple last week, and it is re- marked that Deacon Smiley has new bell on his cow There seems to be an intimation of some sort in the two state ments, and the deacon should lose no time in vindicating himself of any con- nection with the robbery. Of course he will be able to do so to the entire satis- faction of his friends. Still it is grave matter and it's importance should not be lost sight of through any false deli | cacy on the part of the authorities. The enterprising proprietor of the Lit tie Dewdrop has erected large pyramid of barrels in front of his place of busi- ness. It is attracting good deal of at- tention, just as he thought it would, Some claim that he has no right to ob- struct the streets. compelling vehicles to go around the block, while he claims that the property in front of his place Is his own, and he can do as he pleases

 Simple John offers to work the press tonight if l will publish the following poem. As I can't get anyone else to do the job I will have to put the verses in. old Whiskers hates poetry, and he will give me hail Columbia for printing this, but the Cyclone must go to press. no matter what the consequences may be. So here goes Baby Land:"
 Baby Land
 A land of flowers
 Is Baby Land;
 They count no hours In Baby Land. The birds they sing Till the green woods ring. And their melodies bring
 A sense of joy to everything
 In Baby Land.
 There are no clouds In Baby Land.
 Or funeral shroudS
 In Baby Land
 The sun is bright.
 And there is no night:
 No cold winds bite A world of delight Is Baby Land.
 And I am grieved. o, Baby Land,
 To have to leave
 Fair Baby Land
 But life is ahead. And leave my bed Of roses yellow white and Ted, And go to a land of living and dead
 Farewell. Baby Land. |d9lI am glad Whiskers left as much newa written up as he did, for it was a great help. My articles all have to be worked over to correct the spelling, and 1t has been a big job for Simple John and me. Simple John would make a right good ed- itor if he would only write 1t out in the proper style, but all he writes reminds mo of the Ladies' Home Journal or the Society editor of the Birmingham (Ala) Age-Herald, which is all good enough, but it don't suit this country. That poem he wrote about Baby Land' makes me sick, and I know there will be trouble about it when Whiskers gets back. Remarks by the Devil-An umbrella is a poor substitute for a clear day. Poker is not game of chance when the other fellow knows how to stack the cards
 A reeling lamp post is not always sign of an earthquake, or the missing latch string @ sign of burglars. A bootblack shines in any society. The biggest theological student in the world never gets nearer to Heaven than the little boy that says "Now lay me" at his mothers knee xvisb inc women's edition was over with. The Cyclone is passing through dangerous and revolutionary period which is disgusting me. thought the newspaper business was good busi- ness to go into. but am afraid it is good business to go out of just now.

LEI HIMA RECEPTION.
A Grand Success in Every Way.
Handsome Decorations.

Handsome Decorations.
independence Park pavilion was
thrown open last night for the first
time since the cholera epidemic to
welcome the guests of the Lei lima
Club which had afforded to the soci
ETY. people of the city many times in
the past, events which have gone to
make the life in Honolulu more pleas
ant The occasion was hop and the
welcome to the guests was in every
respect cordial.
Persons who visited the pavilion
during the evening, Were particularly
struck with the decorations, the work
of James Spencer, a membe of the
club. Running from the gateway
along the whole length of the walk
leading to the main entrance to the
hall, ami fastened TO the left of it, was
a string of Japanese lanterns. Above
the entrance on the outside were par
allelOgram- shaped lanterns of purple
and white The words Lei lima
were spelled out on the white sides OF
the lanterns. American and Hawai-
ian flags gracefully draped, formed
the curtain for the main entrance TO
either side of which were pots Of ferns.
! The whole interior was decorated with
/ flags and Ialms. Set about here and
/ there were pOtted ferns and other
greens peepiug forth from the folds OF
/ fiags.
The program consisted of fifteen
dances and three extras. special
/ features were introduced after every
third dance The first of these was
/ guitar duet by MessTs. Ward und Her
rick, the second a banj o and mandO
lin duet by Messrs. Ordway and Hen
nesy, the third a piano solo by Miss

chorus by the Kawaihau CLUB. All
were well executed and much enjoyed
by those present. supper was served
after the ninth dance. GoOi-by
we're said shortly after midnight.

persons present were members aud

and they never NEEDLE in the affairs
OF other nations.
"Granting all that you say is cor
rect, Mr.. Fureuya, what action do you
propose TO take?''
"From what we have learned we
deduce that, as l stated a little while
ago, the Government intends putting
barrier against further Japanese
immigration because the officials fear
il will affect the cause of annexation
We have made this the basis of u
complaint which we have prepared
and transmitted to our government.
If the Home Secretary Is not satisfied
with it, If ne does not consider 1t OF
sufficient moment TO communicate
with the authorities here, then we in
Tend to bring more direct and explicit
charges as to the intention of the Ha-
waiian Government"
In your various organizations here
Is politics often subject of discussion
among the members?'
Never; and / want to emphasize
that, fully. Our clubs-and we have
three of them-are for social inter
course and for mutual advancement OF
the mem hers. The Japanese CONNER
clal Union, when Is the leaulnS OF
ganization, has more of a business
than social character. 1t officers
are: 5. Ozaki, presidents; NJ. Chiya,
treasurer; B. ShimiZu, advisor, and
myself secretary. Besides these there
are two directors, Messrs. Sekano and
kojimi. The Union is in prosper
Gus condition, and there is no danger
of these meetings that are being held
creating any discOrd."
'At q recent meeting of the Union
one of the wealthy members intro
duced "a resolution to the effect that
the management of the association
should be in the hands of the men
who contribute the most money, but
it was promptly voted down. The

both the Yemota and HeuOdi clubs

feelings and opinions should be
brought to the notice of the white ele
ment in the community, because it Is
that class that does not understand
us. The japanese papers are not read
by the white people and consequently
our opinions when expressed IN the
columns of our japanese papers are
unknown to the white element. You
may say that we are not after poltl-
cal rights, because your constitution
does not provide for them to the ORR
entails. We simply ask that we he not

steamer left report was circulated
that the Hawaiian Government had
notified Minister Iswin, at Toxic, not
to take passengers, freight or mail on
the China for this port. And here
was the rub. The rumor spread and
the excitement grew more intense
until it was ascertained that no such
instructions were sent Mr.. Irwin. But
the ball had been sent rolling, and it
was a difficult matter to eradicate the
opinion from the minds of some of the
prominent japanese that they were
being unfairly dealt with.
1t Is well known that about forty OF
the merchants have an organization,
the japanese Commercial Union, and
it is couiectured, by those of the
white people here who were at all in
terested in the matter, that whatever
important steps are taken by the Jap
anese here must be through that
organization.
This idea Is repudiated by Mr. Fur
euya, the secretary of the Union. In
speaking of the matter last night
he denounced the recent meetings as
unworthy of consideration. "Our
people" he said, "have been eXer-
cised over the matter because we be
lieved it to be additional evidence OF
what we had already satisfied our
selves upon as TO the attitude of the
Government toward the japanese"
Do YOU think, Mr.. Fureuya, that
the officials OF the Government are
not friendly to your people?
Think it? We know it. The Gov
ernment has violated, and continues
to violate, the labor treaty hich the
Hawaiian Government entered into
with Japan. If party TO an agree
ment knowingly breaks it there Is
evidence of dissatisfaction and this
leads to difficulty"
In answer to the question as to how
the treaty had Ueen violated Mr.
Fureuya said:
"You must be aware that in regard:
/ labor, Japan, by this treaty, was u

aware that majority of the IabOrer:
