The reference recently made to the
effect that the readiness of American
citizens of this country to fire on the
troops from the Philadelphia was an
evidence of a lack of loyalty to the
old flag is a direct insult to every mem
Der of the American colony who stood
by this country in its hour of need
The contemplated landing of the Amer
lean troops was nothing more or less
than a contemplated act of piracy. Had
the marines landed, the Stars and
Stripes would have been disgraced as
they have never been before in the
history of the United States. Thanks
TO the pluck of the American support
ers of the Hawaiian Government, the
Chief Executive of the United States
was given a lesson in loyalty and pa
triotism that he will never forget to
his dying day. What good effect that
lesson has had upon him we cannot
say, but the American people, the bone
and sinew of the American Republic,
have not failed to note the incident
and to honor their fellow-countryme
in Hawaii for the firm stand for the
principles for which men have willing
ly given their lives to defend.

1t has been suggested that when the
next Fourth of July comes around those
interested in the Hawaiian celebration
pursue different tactics from the meth
DDS used this year. In the first place,
there should be public call for a meet
ing of citizens Notwithstanding the
excellence of the personnel, privately
appointed committees are not in keep
ing with popular celebrations. Hav-
ing accomplished a proper organiza-
ton there is no reason why the pro-
gram cannot be easily arranged and
well carried out. 1t is to be hoped,
however, that before July 4, 1897, events
will be so shaped as to wipe out the
problem of a double celebration.

DECISION AGAINST THE TRAM
WAYS.

Another court has spoken upon the
injustice practiced upon the people OF
Honolulu by the Hawaiian Tramways
Company. The rights of the people
are sustained, and it is to be hoped
that this is but one item in the riot
act which the people will continue to
proclaim until Honolulu is provided
with street-car accommodation that is
at least worthy of the name and car
ries with it some of the features of
modern progress.
Judge Carter's decision given on
Wednesday in the two Tramways
cases is broad and comprehensive. 1t
disposes completely of the corporation s
contention that it can evade the de-
cision of the District Court requiring, a
five-cent fare between two points, by
making the public change cars in the
middle of the journey and paying fare
on both cars. The Court says: The
language of the statute is not ambig-
uous. 1t provides that within Judd
street, the Industrial School and Puma
hou street the fare shall be cents for
each passenger In the first case the
car made one continuous trip within
the limits defined by law, and the fare
was 5 cents. 1t is equally clear that
the defendant company was entitled to
but one fare of cents in the second
case. By a mere change of cars the
company company does not become en-
titled to an additional fare. There ex-
lists one general system of street rail
way within the points above men
toned, and where line ON one street
crosses or connects with a line on an
other street, passenger who has paid
his fare is entitled to ride upon such
cross or connecting car within the stat
utory limits without paying on addi-
tional fare"
This decision obviously includes the
right of transfer from the Valley line
either direction.
II remains to be seen whether the
Tramways Company will endeavor to
evade this decision by further shifting
of routes or changing of time tables.
In any case it has been playing with
fire in the past, and will be in the fu-
ture, unless it accepts the decision of
the Circuit Court, at least until an ap-
peal can be decided by the Supreme
Court. Until proper transfer sys-
tenn is established the company is lay
ing itself liable to as many suits for
the penalty of one hundred dollars as
there are citizens who feel disposed to
bring them. The public has been toll
Grant in the past, but it may feel dis
posed to make the company pay for
any further obstinacy.

The whole account of Staten Pasha's
twelve years captivity and final es-
cape from the followers of the Mahdi
is one of the most romantic episodes
of the country, but probably one of the
most curious incidents is the story OF
his sword. In 1883 he surrendered at
Darfur and gave up his sword, which
he had received on entering the Aus
trian Army, and on which, when he
entered the Egyptian service, he had
had his name engraved in Arabic
characters In 1895, when he had es-
capped and went to London, his sword
was returned to him. 1t had been
bought by tourist by native on the
Nile The explanation is that the
Mahdi presented Slatens sword TO one
of his followers and that when the
Mahdists were defeated by General
Grenfell il 1889, the owner of the
sword was killed and it was picked up
by the yillager who sold it TO the
tourist. But it certainly was won
derful restoration Of lost property.
That same sword has started with its
owner once more-for the Soudan. and
may yet be buried in the heart of him
whom Staten calls my tyrannical mas
ter and lifelong enemy, the Khaiifa. .
After reading full account of Staten
adventures it is not surprising he feels
as he writes. Hgs

EUROPEAN SLAVE TRADERS.


What is written by the French about
the Germans, or the Germans about the
French, needs to be taken with a con-
siderable grain of salt Edward Gull
laumet, member of the French Cham
Der, however. has been going for his
own people, and the Christliche Welt
OF Leipsic has been showing I'D the
Germans, so that it seems that we in
each case get the truth The question
is the slave trade in Africa.
Gillaumet draws attention to the fact
that the French have made use of slav-
cry as means of enriching their own
people. He points out from document
airy evidence that the French officials,
in accordance with the custom of the
land, captured as booty of war" the
natives of the villages they had plum
dered, and had then, upon the compile
ton of the campaign, brought these
captiyes to the coast and used them as
payment to their servants and to buy
horses with. In July 1894, when the
town of Bosse was captured, a regular
slave hunt took place, the proceeds of
which were used by the officials in pay
ment OF the costs of the campaign and
the wages of the soldiers.
So strong has been his article, for
every statement in which he brings
his proof, that the. members of the
Institute have taken up the matter and
are publishing his revelations in an
anti-slavery. paper. Gillaumet feels as
sured that it will take long time to put
an end to slavery in Africa, but that
no progress can be made so long as
the representatives of European civil
ization make use of the custom for
greed and money How can the native
be made to see that it is wrong to buy
or sell his brother?
Then comes the ChristIiche Welt
and says things are just as bad in the
German colonies. 1t says that it is a
fact that slavery is being carried on
secretly from the German colonies to
Pemba and Zanzibar, and that every
year from 5000 to 5000 are transported
by the traders. 1t is further stated as
an assured fact that the slave traders
make use of the East African Steam
ship lines for their nefarious traffic
The paper gives the German officials
throughout the colonies terrible in
dictment for their immortality.
The feature of buying slaves to set
them free is treated of by both writer's
Both agree that it is only method of
keeping the slave trade going. 1t was
only recently proved that the natives.
OF the Bismark Archipelago carried on
a nightly slave raid for the purpose
OF selling the proceeds to the missions.
A savage may be rude and uncouth. but
he sometimes has the business instincts
of down East Yankee.
If the cases stated by the two writer's
are correct, we should think that the
time had come for France and Germany
to investigate their colonial admins
tration.

Like all such movements, the Saliva
ton Army, in its commencement me
with opposition and it's methods in
vited ridicule This has been overcome
and one forgives the methods for the
good done.
The Salvation Army is really an out
come of body known as the Chris
tan Mission, which was formed in
1865 and whose object was to deal with
the lowest classes. Fourteen years
later there we're one hundred and fou1
corps and that formation was celebra-
ted by great "Hosanna" meeting al
the headquarters on White Chapel
road. Now the forces of the Army
number hundreds of thousands, and
their influence is felt in every part of
the globe
The Army has fought down preju-
dice and has acquired such position
that it's members, like the Sisters of
Charity, can go into the worst parts
of a great city without fear of insult
But to acquire this position the origi-
nal members had to pass through a
very severe trial.
In San Francisco the Salvation
Army stands high in the estimation of
all classes of people. The depression
in trade and agriculture a few years
ago caused thousands to be in a semi
destitute condition, and the Salvation
Army bravely grappled with the situa-
ton and it's good organization enabled
it's members to do an amount of good
which has never been forgotten.
Here the members of the Salvation
Army have not had to face the oppo-
sition which they have found in other
places. They have never been mob
bed, or had stones thrown at them.
They have, in fact, met with the most
cordial sympathy in this work and have
received ready assistance. Their work
has not had the same booming" sue
cess apparent in many other cities.
However, they have done good in
quiet way.
The very fact of not having met Wig
orous opposition is, we believe, the
cause of the Army not having been
as prominent here as elsewhere. In
point of fact, what can an Army do in
an aggressive way with people who
agree that what it is doing is right?
The presence of people, however,
who devote themselves to good
cause, who go to the very lowest
among the community, who live pure
and simple lives, who are an example
of self-devotion, is a benefit to the peo-
pie that they live among. And in this
the members of the Salvation Army in
Hawaii have done and are doing a
great deal of good to the country. And
as such we honor them.
What the outcome of the Salvation
Army will be it is hard to predict. 1t
is by no means the only religious or
ganization which has set out with high
ideals and great personal sacrifices on
ly to find that as success crowned the
plans of the founders, it also Slapped
the vitality of the organization. Such
a fate overtakes almost every human
effort in this direction. AS long as
there is the pressure from without, so
long will the energy be kept up with
in, but let the pressure be withdrawn,
let brilliant success come, and the
downward grade is often entered upon.

They met for the first time the Fri

the evening ended were betrothed.
1t was first agreed that they would
marry in September, but their inn
patience could brook no delay; so
the next Monday found them both
in Memphis, by agreement, and in
the presence of few friends the
ceremony was said that made them
man and wife. The groom formerly
lived here, and clerked for Dobbins
& Ewing. From here he went to

travel for his present firm. He is a
stirring, energetic young man, well
thought of by his employers.

heart and the instruction of his con-
versation by the small circle OF
friends who knew him.
