Mr.. @. V. Sturdevant has letter
in this mornings Advertiser in
which he says that he is responsible
for the presence of the Salvation
Army in Honolulu and that he
proposes "to shield them from in
suit and misrepresentation so long
as they and l shall remain here"
The letter is caused by the recent
arrest of the "army" for obstructing
a sidewalk. Mr.. Sturdevant must
be mighty man in the state if he
can shield the "army" from mis-
representation and insult. The
modesty of the lady captains pre-
vents insult. He, however, mis-
represents the action of the police
when he says that the arresting Of
fcer Hammer was "reprimanded by
the captain on duty" Senior Cap
tain Parker was seen this morning
and said that so far from reprimand-
ing Officer Hammer he told him
that he had done his duty. He
allowed the 'army" to go free be-
cause he desired to consult with the
Marshal before acting further in the
matter. We will be pleased to learn
under what laws the Marshal has
the power to discriminate and allow
one crowd and not another to OBJ
struct the sidewalks of the city.

We publish on the outside pages
very interesting article about the
influence Of the bicycle, which APP
peared in the last number OF The
Forum. Although there has been a
good deal of exsgeration in the
complaints of tradesmen, manufac-
turers and even preachers in regard
to material losses OF patronage since
the advent of the wheel, il is we'll
worth studying the bearing which
tho bicycle undoubtedly has had
socially, economically and otherwise.
An invention for which during five
years it is estimated that 100000
600 have been spent in the United
States alone is prominent factor in
the political economy of the world.
Secretary Olney has sent instruc-
tions to the United States Repre-
sentative at Columbia to demand an
immediate settlement of the claim
for damages in regard to an Ameri
can schooner which, as it will be
remembered, got into trouble with
the Columbian Government. Mr.
Cleveland has called twice upon
Columbia to settle, his third "call"
is couched in terms which cannot be
misunderstood and the demand will
undoubtedly now be responded TO
in a satisfactory manner to the
claimant. In his last message to
Congress Mr.. Cleveland stated that
certain claims for damages had been
presented to the Hawaiian Govern
ment on behalf of American citi-
zens, for false Imprisonment during
the so-called rebellion of 1895. The
President stated that so far he had
not received a satisfactory answer
from Mr.. Dole's Government. If
President Cleveland and his esteem

minister columbian" dose to the
Hawaiian Government, we have no
doubt that satisfactory arrange
ment could be made and that it
would be demonstrated that even
in Hawaii an American citizen can
find protection from his home gov
ernment. So far number of Amer
leans doubt it very much, but Minis
ter Willis may yet show that they

those DAYS and it is astonishing how many of the
land titles of today when they came to he traced
back, are fonnd TO originate in just such tricks.
The evil was due principally TO the lack of any
Office place of public record and to the gen
eral custom of the not passing title deeds to
purchasers and was greatly aggravated, of
course, by the conflict of jurisdiction and the
New York scheme of granting the lands the
second time and the general in security of
titles IL created. Spectators were constantly at
work 10 get possession of farms that had been
cleared and improved, sometimes by fraud such
as Peters and sometimes by taking advantage
of fraud that had been practiced on purchasers
The trouble was ended by the "betserment and
quiefing acts" Gov Chttenden's statesmanlike
conception, cutting through.the strict rules OF
law with the principles of equity, by providing
that where land had been entered and improved
in good faith and 'the title afterwards proved
