cling all her alleged rights TO reign
in Hawaii, is on parole, and drives
freely about the streets OF Homo
lulu; and it is not unlikely, if we
may trust recent reports, that she
received her full pardon yesterday,
as one celebration of the day.
"The 18th of January will hold
memorable place in Hawaii's
calendar, even after the period
which, we trust, is now not far dis
tant, when she comes into the
sisterhood of the United States"
If there els one paper in the
United States that is a true ex-
ponent of American sentiment, that
paper is the New York Sun. 1t
has its political peculiarities, and
is strong party organ, but in its
expression of national sentiment 1t
is never found wanting. The 18th
Of January is a memorable day in
Hawaii, and every true American
is well as every Hawaiian citizen
recognizes it as marking a new
,poch when monarchy gave
way TO an advanced repub-
lean form of government. Unfor-
there are a few who are
lot willing to make due recogni-
ion of this fact, but we are willing
o leave them to the tender mercies
II the American sentiment of which
he Sun gives a good expression.

WHO is THIS CRITICS
When in the course of human

When in the course OF human
events newly arrived individual
in this, or any other, country hnds
himself called upon to set up a
Identifying, mischief making
throne of his own and spread there
from literature that partakes of
the nature of his Ebenezer OF cor
ruption and misrepresentation, the
first question, and very proper
one too, that is asked is: "Who is
this new Moses who would lead us
into greater dissention and arouse
public distrust?" In Biblical times
Saul was selected as a leader be-
cause he was head and shoulders
above the people of his nation.
This is sometimes true at the
present time, but, unfortunately,
there are those who endeavor to
attract attention by waving the
red flag above their heads. Since
Hawaii was put down on the sail
ing route of the steamship lines it
has been subjected from time to
time with class of men not I'M
like the tin-horn gambler type,
who speak of their past history in
a peculiar, many-thousand-miles-
away tone and pass by ON the
other side.
So long as these men keep quiet
and endeavor to lead a new life
rom that which has characterized
heir never-to-be-mentioned past,
The public win keep quiet with |
hem and assist them in their
Efforts to create a new record.
But when they plant the seeds of
liscord, water them with the bile
# the miserable malcontent, and
ndeavor to propagate political
egetation that is rank menace
o established institutions, then the
'ublic has a right to demand with
whom they are dealing.

Since the japanese made their
first appearance they have increas-
ed over three thousand per cent.
In 1894 the japanese represented
less than four per cent. of the total,
while today over sixty per cent. of
the prostitutes of the country are
Asiatics. If this increase keeps on
at the present rate, Honolulu will
be a second Toxic in the course of
few years. In the face of these
figures it is simply suicidal for the
people of this country to sit still
and make no move to check a
fragrant evil. 1t is safe to say that
each woman added to this list
means an addition of at least five
Japanese men to crowd ofidlers and
blackmailers now within the city.
Trusting to luck will not put an
end to this business; it will not
solve the problem. Can any man
or woman scan these figures and
then say that the agitation over
this matter is uncalled for and un-
timely. Unfortunately the figures
lon't tell one-half the story. The
situation demands action of the
people and officials to investigate
he social evil" that is gaining
Roadway in Homo
ulu. |

THE only surprising feature about
ex-Minister Thurston's statement
of his dealings with the late Secre-
tary Gresham is that he should
have kept the facts secret as long
as he has. This statement leaves
no further question of the attempt
to cast discredit not only upon Mr..
Thurston, but upon the officials of
the Provisional Government and
later upon the Republic. Personal
spite increased in its virulence by
the fact that the aggressive party
was baked at nearly every turn is
evident throughout the whole affair.
1t may be said that owing TO the
death Of Secretary Gresham, Mr..
Thurston would have done better
to have kept quiet. This is idle
talk. Mr.. Thurston was placed in
a position where less polite man
would have forgotten the require
ments of diplomatic etiquette. He
held his place until the proper
time for him to make public his
side of the question. As private
citizen he would be doing himself
and his country an injustice by
withholding facts which should 60
down in history to show the true
official character of the men who
have figured in events of vital in
terest to this nation.

A MEMORABLE DAY.

In its issue of January 18th, the
New York Sun made the following
editorial notice of the natal day Of
the Provisional Government, which
will be read with particular in
terest in view of recent events:
Yesterday was the day appoint
ed for the third anniversary cele-
bration of the downfall of the
throne in HAWAII, with its natural
sequence of the establishment of
the present Republic.
|" 1t was on the memorable 18th
of January, 1898, that the Com
mittee of Safety installed a Pro-
visional Government at Honolulu
that our Minister, Mr.. John L.
Stevens, recognized this "as the
de facto Government of the Hawai-
ian Islands," and that Liliuoka-
lani abdicated under protest.
During the six and thirty
months since then the revolution
has not gone backward. A certain
dangerous attempt made in this
country TO restore a discarded and
barbarous monarchy was put down
by the force of American public
sentiment. A feeble and fatuous
effort of the royalists in Hawaii in
the same direction resulted in get
ting their leaders into Jail. Fin
ally. since then, the Republic, con-
scious of its strength, has been re-
leasing these misguided convicts, a
few at a time, until lately only
about half a dozen of them re-
manned in confinement.
Indeed, Mrs. Dominis herself,
who long ago took the wise step Of
voluntarily and formally renoun-

MISCHIEy0US MISREPRESENT-
ALTON.

In the last issue of the Hilo
Tribune, the editor gives vent to
the most childish, evil minded and
we might well say dastardly
attack upon the Government Off
cials, that it has been our misfor-
tune to read in any publication OF
this country that makes any pre-
tention of being fair-minded or
blessed with even an occasional
scintillation of average common
sense. Whose opinion, besides his
own, he pretends to voice has not
been discovered. We note with
pleasure the prompt reputation
made by the directors of the COM
pany owning the publication. Had
they not made the statement
which We publish in another col
umn they might well be consid-
cred candidates for a colony of an
archists. 1t is quite apparent that
the editor is afflicted with chronic
billiousness which his employers
have discovered too late to remedy.
The editors dissertation on the isl
and tour of the band, and his re-
marks on the treatment of the
Hawaiians are not only ridiculous,
but a disgrace to the columns of
any paper representing a higher
order of humanity than hoodlums
and street-corner orators. He has
brown off his sleeps clothing
ionned when the lengthy salutatory
was promulgated, and now comes
,ut in the true colors of a narrow
minded mischief-maker Ii the
people OF Hilo have any use for
iuch writings they have degener-
tied to a condition which their
worst enemy would not have the
emerity to suggest. This country |
'ught to be too small to allow such |
nen to continue their work of !
preading broadcast such fragrant
nd insinuating misrepresenta-

Serious Accident.

While exercising horses yester-
day morning, Jack Dunsford, a
Canadian, met with injuries which
will probably prove fatal.
Dunsford was riding out along
on Beretania street leading another
horse. The latter SHE'D at an
approaching car while near the
home of H. w. Schmidt and pulled
back suddenly, Dunsford was pull
ed off his horse by a sudden jerk
of the led horse. His.head struck
the ground with great force and he
remained where he fell in totally
unconscious condition.
He was assisted in so far as it
was possible by people who hap
pened to be in the vicinity when
the accident occurred. Later he
was taken to the hospital. Ex-
animation proved that a blood
vessel at the base of the skull had
been ruptured. The top of the
kull was trephaned and a small
button of bone taken out. From
this nearly pint of blood flowed.
At late hour last night Duns-
ford was in dangerous condition.
1t will be a marvel if he succeeds
in pulling through.

IN THE BEGINNING

OF the new year, when the winter sea-
son of close confinement is only half
gone, many find that their health be-
gins to break down, that the least ex-
posture threatens sickness. It is then,
as well as at all other times, and with
people even in good health, that the
following facts should be remembered.
namely: That Hoods Sarsaparilla
leads everything in the way of medi-
cines; that it accomplishes the great
est cures in the world, and requires the
largest building in the world devoted
exclusively to the preparation Of the
proprietary medicine. Does not this
conclusively prove. If you are sick, that
Hoods Sarsaparilla is the medicine for
you to take?

THE W. F. BABC0CK.
Sailors Do Not Like the Way They
Are Treated.
Two Men Corroborate the Statements
Published-No Relief for Men
Regularly shipped.

The editorial department Of the
ADVERTISER had two callers yester-
day who wanted to know who
wrote the article defamatory to the
mate of the ship w. F. Babcock.
The calls were made after an even
ing paper had published an inter-
view with the mate of the vessel.
'There is but one fault to be
found with the report in the Bull
letin," said one of the visitors,
''and that is that the reporter
seemed to want to whitewash the
officers of the ship rather than to
verify the reports in the Star and
ADVERTISER.
$50 far as the ruptured man is
concerned" continued the caller,
II saw him and talked with him.
and his condition is pitiable; he
said he had tried toprocure truss
suitable for his ailment and could
not get one in Honolulu, that the
mate said he would have to gof
with the ship anyway but he would
prefer death to continuing on the
voyage.
'The mate may be Salvation
Army man but if he is the men on
the ship can't see the joke. have
no doubt that when he sends the
old G. A. r. veteran to the main
gallant just before the time comes
Tor a change of watch, and keeps
him there until half the watch is
over, he issues the order with a
God bless you Have
you talked with the mate? well
you should; go down some time
when he Is putting the men through
! knee drill. There is a govern
Ient official here who has secured
he papers of this G. A. R. man,
md is going to see what can be
lone for him."
The other caller was a water
rent man who has been to sea for
-ears and is now second officer on
n inter-island steamer. His state
nent was to the effect that the
umor of harsh treatment of the
nen on the w. F. Babcock, was
ommon, and not without founda-
ion. sailors are tough citizens,
nd have to be handled little
ifferent from babies, but when
len complain of continued rough
reatment and can get no redress,
is about time that something was
one for them, by people on shore"
In the ADVERTISERS report of the
oings on the Babcock there was
o attempt at coloring what
ppeared to be very unpleasant
fair. The information was OBJ
aimed from the sailors if the re-
orter had interviewed the officers
would no doubt have resulted in
denial on their part of every
barge made.
The case Of the old "war horse"
hat shipped on the vessel was
iscussed in the G. A. R. post last
light and the committee from that
Ody will see the captain of the
nip and ask his discharge that is
u that can de done. The man

courtesy on the part of the
Lptain to let him 90.

We note with pleasure the active
interest which the citizens of Ho-
nolulu have taken in the endeavor
of this paper to bring about some
sort of a renovation in the dis
tricts inhabited by the lower class
es, but which are, unfortunately,
streets frequented by business men
and their families. The suggestion
of placing the matter before the
Board of Health and obtaining an
official investigation, the returns of
which shall be placed before the
Legislature, is a good one. The
people who are willing to put their
shoulder to the wheel and assist in
working out this problem will find
that they will receive the moral, if
not active, support Of the entire
business community. There is a
power for reform at their command
if they will use it.

WHAT FIGURES PROVE.

Statistics taken by the Board of
Health under the act to mitigate
give signal proof that the growth
of the social evil" in this city has
been largely due to the influx of
japanese women. In July of '93,
of the total forty-three women on
the register, two were Portuguese,
two half castles and thirty-nine
Hawaiians. In January of 1894
the japanese made their first APP
pearance, and of the total fifty-two
on the register, forty-six were Ha-
waiians, two half castles, two Portu-
guese and two Japanese. The record
of July, 1894, shows an increase OF
japanese to thirteen and Hawaiians
to ffty-five. During the following
six months the japanese had in
creased from thirteen to thirty-fve,
and on the 31st of January, 1896,
the record is given as follows:
Hawaiians, thirty-two; half castles,
South Sea island, one ;
French, one, and japanese, sixty
seven, making a total of 10S. Dur
ing the two years ending January
81, 1896, the total number regis
tered under the act to mitigate has
increased a little over 100 per cent.

A RECENT San Francisco dispatch
saws that President Cleveland is
contemplating a trip to the Pacific
Coast during his summer vacation.
1t is rather unusual for a chief
executive to wait until he is about
to 60 out of office before making a
tour of the country over which he
has presided for eight years.
