A FIRST-CLASs FRAUD.

The irreprsssible n. B. Breckenridge
is again TO the fore. This time he has
turned up at Evansville, Indiana. AT
that city he made the acquaintance of a
gentleman who introduced Bracken-
ridge to his friends. He represented
that ne owned a sugar plantation TWEEN
ty-five miles from Honolulu, worth
100000, that Representative Robert
son was his attorney, that he had just
returned from Scotland, where he had
been making contracts for sacks, and
that he had left Mr.. Dillingham; in Lon

VOICE OF THE PRESS.

The necessity of the proposed Ha-
waiian cable appears to be more clearly
| recognized by members of Congress
than is usually the case with such pro-
iects. The real obstacle to Congress
sional action, however, seems to be a
disposition among members to take
sides with the rival construction COM
panies that desire to lay the cable. 1t
will be unfortunate should the plan
fail in this way. The several schemes
contemplate an extension of the cable
to China and Japan. 1t is plain that
this country needs direct telegraph
communication with the far East. 1t
is a disadvantage, and in fact it is hard
~ creditable, for the United States to
be dependent for its news from Asia
upon cables that terminate in England.
The claims of rival construction COM
panies should not be permitted TO cut
any figure in the matter.-San Diego
Union.

borrowed money from his friends and
skipped to st. Louis.
1t is needless to say that Bracken-
ridge is a fraud. This is the second
time that knowledge of his having OBJ
tanned money upon false pretenses has
come down to the Islands, and there
can be little doubt that he is on career
of systematic swindling. 1t will be well
for newspapers in the States TO stop
this gentleman's little game by giving
him little notice. Breckenridge was
only on the Islands for few months,
but by means Of directory, a retentive
and a lurid imagination, he ap-
pears to have been beating his way
pretty comfortably around.
The attention of the Foreign Office is
also again called to the case. The Ha-
waiian Consuls ought to be warned that
this man is around, so that they can
authoritatively speak of him, should
hey happen to hear of his whereabouts.
Application at the Police Court will
supply information that may be of
'alue.

JOURNALISTIC ART.

C.. d. Gibson, the great illustrator Of
Life, has been giving his views upon
illustration to the London Sketch. Mr.
Gibson was asked whether he was salts
fed with the accuracy of reproduction
in the printing of his work in Life. The
question was put because Mr.. Du Maui
rier has always bitterly complained
about the reproductions of his drawings
in Punch, and if memory serves, John
Leech used to make the same COM
plant. Mr.. Gibson replied: For my
part, / have no complaint of the kind to
make; but 1 can readily understand the
complaint of an artist whose work is
reproduced by so barbarous a method
as wood engraving. Surely, even an
old fashioned paper should be abreast
Of the times in the matter of reproduc-
ton. Wood engraving, for journalistic
purposes, takes one back into the dark
ages of art

enced a man as Gibson, is valuable

but its methods of reproduction are alb

eye and the ready hand to represent life
as it is or to portray its graces, but they
have never had a chance Of showing
the public what they really can do, save
when they put their originals on ex-
hibition
1t is noticeable, however, that an i'm
provement is coming over the methods
of reproduction, and that many of the |
younger English papers are giving us
work which compares favorably with |
that done in the United States and in
Germany. 1t takes a long time in an
old country to establish new methods,
so we may expect to see Du Maurier
murdered by the wood epgraver till he
drops into his grave.

GAMBLING

The gambling conviction in the court
on Friday shows that the police are
alive to the situation and do not run in
only Chinese. 1t is very hard to get
evidence against the Anglo-Saxon in
such matters, and it is only by such
careful detective work as was done on
this occasion that conviction can be OBJ
tanned. The police have scored de-
cided point.
1t may be argued that there is very
little in a quiet game, but that argu-
ment drops to the ground when we all
know that two fine young men within
very short time have been not only led
astray, but have come to the felon's
dock through indulgence in this vice
of gambling. Let the police keep up
their work in this direction. There are
men here who batten on this vice of
young men, who lead them on to their
inevitable ruin. Such men the law can
not reach as their merits, or rather de-
merits, deserve; but in a small way
they do get their deserts, and there is
hope that they have got it in this in
The fine given by the judge was
but the law was upheld. When |
Judge De La Vergne has been longer
on the bench he will not be so lenient.
The gambling he was dealing with was
the very worst type of the vice. 1t was
the type that leads young men to ruin.

SATURDAY

The views of Mr. Grinbaum, given IN
another column, are a practical indorse-
ment of the position taken by the Ad-
yertiser on the funding bill. All along
it has been clear that the fight made
under cover of Senator McCandless'
resolution was really fight to keep up
the rate of interest for the next two
years. In course of time the Senators
will see the error of their ways and VIII
feel sorry that they acted as they did.
In the case of Mr.. Damon, his action has
been patriotic enough. His plans were
such that they actually cut into his pri-
Vate business.

THE CUBAN SITUATION.

After all the days spent by the
United States Congress in discussing
the Cuban situation, any effective ex-
! preston of friendship for the fnsur-
gents who are fighting for liberty ap-
pears to be as far distant as it was the
day before Congress opened. President
Cleveland has given Spain to under
stand that he is still friendly to the
monarchial government, and the Gu
bans may whistle" for recognition at
his hands President Cleveland's fail
ure to act is probably due in measure
to influence brought to bear by Am
erican plantation owners in Cuba, who
| have entered suit against Spain for
damages done their property by the in
| surgents. What he will do, however,
! before November, is quite another
question, as the Cuban resolution will
undoubtedly be taken into the cam
paign, and the Democratic managers
will be anxious to coin as much po-
litical capital as possible before the
people go to the polls.
The appointment of General Fitz- |
Hugh Lee to representa- the United |
States in Havana has more or less sig
nificance, as indicating President Cleve-
lands intention to gain an opinion on
the situation from a military stand
point. AS has been suggested by some
Eastern journals, General Lees mis-
sion to Havana is not unlike that of
Paramount Blount to this country. I'm L
less Lee goes back on his previous rec
ord,s he will favor the efforts of the
Cubans, if there is ghost of a show for
their success, and he will not sink his
own personality into Oblivion by color
ing his report according to orders, as {
was the case with Blount
With the exception that Congress
;ional action has preceded the edict of :
he President, the Cuban affair occu-
,ies much the same position as the Ha-
yaiian question did three years ago. S

will do the latter, but with men of
estiny" there is no telling what they
will do.

Owing to disagreement as to which
of the two competing companies should
be given the concession for laying and
Hawaii, the Senate Committee on For
eign Relations voted against reporting
the bill providing for that cable. AS it
is known that seven out of the eleven
members of the committee favor the
cable, it is believed that a bill will yet
be reported. The trouble was that the
seven members who favored the cable
disagreed as to which of the two com
panies should lay it, and the four Demo-
Gratis who oppose the cable took adj
vantage of the disagreement to vote so
as to hang the whole business up, for
time, anyway.-Santa Barbara Press.

Notwithstanding the inclement
weather, there was the largest vote cast

clerk County Clerk; William H. Wilson,
clerk Circuit Court; Omar Conrad, coun-
" commissioner; Charles Marstiller,

Just made is, every one of them have

here by Bsal Bros. in building the Roar
ing Creek and Charleston railroad two
years ago. He worked with an ergi-
