ANCIENT HISTORY.

Unwittingly, it is to be pre-
sumed, the Advertiser editorially
claims to give, as the latest for
eign news" items it copies from
Yokohama papers by the Coptic.
AS stated in the BULLETIN yester-
day, the Yokohama papers brought
no American or European news
that was not away behind what
was brought by the Australia.
The reported battle between the
Turks and the Druses was not
fought on December %, as stated
In the Advertise +, but on the 21st
and the news is dated London,
Dec. z6," in Yokohama papers of
January 2. News of the toning
down OF warlike sentiment in the
American press really came in the
latest date by the steamer City
of Peking from San Francisco,
which arrived here on December
~, the day before the Australia
left San Francisco, and the news
has since been re ceived in the
Colonial papers. The inCipient
panic in Wall street, with a
tremendous loss from a drop in
securities, was described in the
--latest foreign news" of the
BULLETIN on December %, to-
gether with the Presidents mes
sage on the gold reserve, although
both matters are included in the
budget of news" said to have
come by the Coptic. Australian

a billion of dollars az the loss in
American securities by the war
scare. 1t would not be necessary
for this paper to call attention to
this republication of news that
had long ago appeared in its own
columns, were it not that it was
stated in these columns yesterday
that there was no later foreign
news, excepting Oriental items, in
the papers received by the Cop
tic, and some people were heard
this morning discussing as inter

Ab.ut the volcano.

News received by telephone
from Manager Lee of the Volcano
House just previous to the de-
parture of the Hall from Kailua
was to the effect that the lake was
still rising, and that if it con-
tinued at the same rate the lava
would overt flow into the main
crater in less than a week. Num-
bers of tourists from Hilo and
other places on the island were
visiting the volcano and Peter
Lee was jubilant. The present
flow gives every indication of
permanency and increased activ.

THE OPIUM QUESTION

Mr.. Peck's sermon against an
opium license was doubtless the
honest expression of his convic-
tons, and thus far he is entitled
to all credit for its Elimination.
Yet it lacked one thing to give it
due force. The preacher ought to
have called upon all of like mind
with himself to be prepared to
take up arms to prevent any legs'
lation of the kind from going into
effect, as well as to repress every
retrograde propensity in legisla-
tive and executive actions con-
trary to his ideas OF righteousness.
His appeal to ballots in this in
stance would only be as a sound
ing brass and q tinkling cymbal,
if the congregation had been
mainly composed of the Iron
sides" who three years ago APP
pealed to bayonets as the better
cure for vicious legislation, the
confusion of factions, and execu-
tive alteration. Revolution, it is
now sadly realized by the preach
er, has introduced military COM
mander who orders shooting
matches on Sunday-whom Mr.
Peck sharply rebuked therefor
week previously in public dis
course. 1t also called into being
the Hawaiian Star-a newspaper
q whose advocacy of an opium
license law was the occasion FOL
his denunciation of that proposed
measure upon this occasion. Will
this depression to point a moral
for the prevention Of rashness OIL
the part of good men in the future
rather than the stimulation O.
longings for past that is dead
it must be said that Mr.. Peck
gave some good reasons for his
warning against the policy of the
excellent people who control the
Star.

A Pleasant Anniversary.

Yesterday was the seventh an
niversary of the wedding of Mr..
and Mrs. Thomas Smith, and it
was celebrated in very pleasant
and appropriate manner by a
large dinner party at their resi-
dence on Piikoi street After pro.
perly discussing roast sucking
pig and other delicious edibles
the lanai was cleared and the
evening spent in dancing, singing
and social converse. The music
was furnished by native quar-
tette from the Honolulu Iron
Works, of which the host is fore
man of one of the departments.
Among those present were the
father and brother of Mr. Smith,
Mr. and Mrs Charles Crozier, Mr.
and Mrs Thomas MoTigbe, Mr.
and Mrs Andrew Brown, Mr. and
Mrs > Is Gibson. Mrs A Gilfllan,
Miss Grace Cole, John Phillips,
David Croz er, Charles Ram a. =,
Mr. Harjot and George Manson.

by subterranean and submarine

The habit has many slaves every

The BULLETIN believes that the
licensing of opium would, by in
PRODUCING the drug in a rough
form, rs it were, to easy access by
natives and whites, be the worse
of two evils. This belief is based
upon information gained here
some years ago from officials who
witnessed, and had to deal with,
the results of opium license prior
to the prohibitory law of 1872.
At the same time, from the re-
ports of a large proportion, if not
a majority, of the British
Royal Com mission lately in
vestigating the use of opium
in the East, there is little doubt
that the evils have been exngge-
rated AS to those countries where
opium-uslng has long since ceased
to be a novelty. The evils OF
legalized opium would, however,
be proportionately much worse in
Hawaii, for various reasons, than
in the Orient. Therefore, apart
from the incongruousness of
opium being licensed here by
government born of a revolution
largely produced by irritation at
the passage of an opium license
law, this paper believes that the
measure in question should have
much longer consideration than
can be given to it in the lifetime
of one Legislature,

ON THE
PRESIDENT OF VENEZU-
Ella AND OTHER
INTERESTING
MATTERS.

President CreSpo of Venez-
uela is a tall, heavy man, with
a countenance revealing force
and determination. He is very
abStemious in his habit and
generally goes to bed at 8
o'clock in the evening. He is
in the habit of Summoning his
Ministers to him at sunrise.
He is fond of cattle-ranching,
and owns a large number of
acres not far from the Venezu-
elan capital. He is a fine equeS-
trian and has an unlimited
amount of backbone. He also
knows a good thing when a
friend puts him on to it. If he
lived in Honolulu he would be
one of the first to call at the
store of the Hawaiian Hard
ware Company and examine
some of that fine cutlery just
received by the last Australia.
Beyond question we have now
displayed on our shelves and
in our windows and showcases
the finest lot of cutlery ever
brought to these Islands.
One of those fine carving
sets with ivory or buckhorn
handles in handsome plush
cases would be just the thing
to take the fancy of President
Crespo or his great and good
friend Grover Cleveland. We
have also smaller sets of cary
ers, designed for game and
tete-a-tete dinners.
In the matter of Knives we
have a new stock of everything
in the line, comprising butter,
kitchen, skinning, dessert, table,
putty medium, hunting and
pocket knives in an almost be-
wildering variety.
Those little pearl-handled
butter knives are dandieS and
you will want one as soon as
you see them.
Another useful little article
is a pocket nail-cleaner and
file, which is a novelty and
quite cheap.
We are entirely out of bicy-
cles, having closed out our en-
tire stock last week. We ex-
pect a big lot of the 1896
model of the Tribune and Mon
arch wheels by the next steam
er and shall be pleased to take
your order in advance.
We have also on hand a
fresh supply of Fresh coffee
pots, which sell like hot cakes.

When all is said, leaving other
countries to settle the problem for
themselves, there is not the least
doubt that il opium were made
"A legalized commodity in Hawaii,
to be dealt in by one or more
licensees and their authorized
agents, the opium habit would
greatly Increase among the
Oriental population and spread
to at least n perceivable extent
among both IEawaiians and Eu.
ropeans. This cannot be
thing desired by any
well-wisher of his fellow men.
Besides, with enormous licens @
fees and high duties, who shall
say that the price would not be
maintained at rate that should
still leave premium on SNUG.
gli"g? Then we should have
carried the ills we have into the
realm of those we had hitherto
not wot of-all for the sake OF
revenue that may not, for reasons
heretofore given, amount to such
great proportions as appear in
license advocates imaginations.

OBSERVATIONS.
columns

1t is nothing new to the people
of Honolulu that japanese ships
of war invariably have the afix
"kan" to their names, while the
vessels in the merchant service of
Japan are required to have the
affix "maru" to theirs. Yet it is
an interesting item of news to
learn that, the usage having of
late become disregarded in some
cases by owners of the merchant
marine, the Naval Department
has issued a strict order in the
matter. In an item of Oriental
News" by the Coptic, in yesser-
days issue, however, the types
made it appear that the aifixes
had been changed to "mane" for
merchantmen and "kau" for war
ships.
