Enderby, recognizing his visitor, wns

As he talked he helped them through
the window, and babe them good-by

Felicity's hand drop till he had kissed
it and wished her a whispered God

When they had gone he listened for
q time, but hearing no sound of sur
prise or discovery he returned to the
supper room, where Garrett Enderby

and the cavaliers.

With gesture of despair Enderby
turned and entered the house and
passed into the library, where he found
his daughter. Pale and fearful she
threw herself into his arms.
At eleven o'clock that night as they
sat in the same room, while Lord RIP
pingdale and his officers supped in the
dining-room, Sir Richard Mowbrny
hurriedly entered.

Doiling his cap once more, the stilt-
walker suddenly stopped, and, turning
aside, mnde his way with an almost
incredible swiftncss across the fen,
taking the bitches with huge grotesque
strides. Enderby looked back and
watched him for moment curlously.

her thumbs she daintily drew down the
eyelids and opened them again. "There,
that's better. Now what did the king
say to ,heeP"
HE said to me that l should be Sir
John Fnderby, of Enderby."
"a Knight! A knight! He made
thee a knight" she asked gayly. She
slipped from his knee and courtesied be-
fore him, then seeing the heaviness Of
his look, she added: "Booh! Sir John
Enderby, why dost thou look SO grave? ?
Is knighthood so big burden thou dost
groan under it?'
Come here, my lass" he said gen tly.
"Thou art young, but day by day thy
wisdom grows, and l can trust thee.
1t is better thou shoudst know from
my own lips the peril this knighthood
brings, than that trouble should sud-
denly fall and thou be unprepared."
Drawing her closely to him he told
her the story of his meeting with the
king; of Lord Rippingdale; of the king $
threat to levy upon his estates and to
issue writ of outlawry against him.

Now that the new market is in
working order it is about time that
the Tramway Company should run
q car there. The track is laid and
a regular car would be a great boon
to the public. This car need not
be run for every hour of the day,
but at such times as the public are
likely to need it We have been
long expecting that the company
would see the necessity OF this
change. but as it is apparently
oblivious of a very great public
need we venture to call attention
to it. Not only would it be con-
venience, but there is no doubt
but that such a car would pay.

THERE seems to be much dis
satisfaction about the band not
going to Kapiolani Park to play
at the races. The contention is
that the Kapiolani Park track has
been leased to private individual
and therefore the band cannot be
allowed to go. The fact is that the
bulk of the public will be out at
the races and il would be for the
benefit of the public to have it play
at the park. The argument doesn't
hold together, for the band does
sometimes play at private enter
tainments. The band is for the
public and should play for the
benefit of the greatest number.

number Of 10,377.s7 ,O40 packages

A CERTAIN section of our Hilo
fellow citizens seem to have a craze
for Decentralization, as they call it.
What they really want is GEN.
tralization of government in Hilo.
We very much question whether
the rest of the island of Hawaii
wants to be run by narrow Hilo
clique. That in the past there may
have been dereliction of duty on
the part of the then government is
possible, The country districts
have not always been looked after
as they should be. But the present
Government has assuredly given
every attention to the country dis
tricts, and the members of the gov.
eminent by frequent personal in
spection make themselves we'll
acquainted with what IS actually
needed by the districts. A man
who knows the whole needs of q
country is far more just in appor-
tioning expenditures than he, who
only is acquainted with his little
local needs. As a fact Hilo has
more than its share of the general
taxation. Judge Austin's rejoinder
seems to fit the case we'll. Ii the
island of Hawaii were to set to
work and pay all its own govern
ment expenses, it would have only
s15, 900 left out of its taxes for the
many needed improvements, not in
Hilo alone, but throughout the
whole island.

VALUE OF THE OPIUM LICENSE.

Inc question: or license or non
license Of opium is one which vii
play $ considerable figure in n,
next Legislature 1t is necessary
IN order 10 argue upon the question
intelligently, to understand what
has been done in the past and what
hiss been the experience OF the Ha-
wsiisn Government in the matter
o. licensing opium
The Civil Code, promulgated in
1889. put an sd yslorem duty Of
fifteen Per cent on the drug. In
1850 sn opium license was granted
10y the sale OF opium to Cinnamon
in Honolulu and Lahains, snd this
remained in force till 1874. This
license was sold st auction. In that
yesr the Act WAS amended and the
importation and sale of opium was
restricted 10 the Board OF Health.
For ten years the opium license
was s constant bone Of contention
IN the Legislature till. in 1856, the
Minister Of the Interior, with the
consent Of the King in Cabinet
Council, was authorized to grant .
license upon payment of $4,000
This brought about the celebrated
bribery case in which the King was
proved to have received seventy
odd thousand dollars as 81 equiva-
lent to- giving his consent Ii was
about the LAST straw to the camel's
back, and led directly to the revo-
luton Of 1887. The iniquity Of that
bill lay IN the fact that, IS Jar as
the license itself xzs concerned, 1t
could not Dc put UP 10 auction, but
