An evening contemporary, in an APP
pzrently serious manner, asks why
home talent was not employed in pro-
ducing the portrait of the late Judge
McCully. presented to the Supreme
Court II also states that the portrait
was paid for out of public funds. The
fact Of the matter is that the portrait
WAS ordered and paid for by Judge Nc
cully's widow. and nc department of
the Government had anything to do
with the production of the portrait or
the payment Of the artist. 1t is I'M
fortunate indeed that such uncalled-for
criticism should have been passed upon
a gift from lady whose interest in the
welfare of this country has never
wzned. The only redeeming feature is
the irresponsible source from which the
remarks emanated.

The story about England's proposed
action in the case of volney Ashford
bears all the ear-msrks Of an out-and-
out fake, and Minister Cooper's state
ment leaves no doubt of the untruths
that the people OF the United States
have been treated to. A short review
Of the situation shows conclusi,ely how
ill-adyised the purported demand Of
England would be. In the first place,
Great Britain admitted the legality of
the Military Commission. Further
more. the highest courts of this coun-
try sustained the action of the Com
mission A litsle later, the story goes,
Great Britain objected to the conclu-'
sion Of the Commission in Ashford's
case. because be was convicted upon
the testimony OF an accomplice. It now
seems unreasonable that the British
Government should request the Ha-
waiian Government to reverse the de-
cision of court the legal status of
which is accepted to be as sound as

vances England has made, the public
is sim in the dark, but if the diplo,

case ceased in February last. there is |
not much prospect of British guns be-

MINISTER WILLIS INTERVIEW.

Minister Willis has been talking IN q
most amiable manner about the Re-
public of Hawaii. Evidently the Min
lister has seen Mr.. Cleveland and has
learned that he should have a change
of heart. Seeing. that he devoted him
self ostentatiously to worry the Gov
eminent here, and that he was per-
petually running to them complain
ing of the attacks in the press, this
right about face movement is refresh
ing
However, the change of opinion is
all in our favor, and we can only say
that it is pleasing to know at last that
Minister Willis time was not wasted,
but that he acquired wholesomesre-
spect for Republican institutions. like
the man who came to scott and stayed
to pray" he came to destroy Republi-
canism and restore a throne, but he
stayed to finally believe in Republican,
ism and to despise royalty, as every
good American should.
The Washington Star, in it's editorial
columns, remarks as follows upon Mr.
Willis change of heart:
Albert S. Willis, envoy extraordinary
and minister plenipotentiary of the
United States to the Republic of Ha-
wall, is in Washington. He has talked
to representative of the Star and has
saidssome extremely interesting if not
surprising things. The Star has, from
time to time, through the medium of its
correspondent in the Hawaiian Islands,
made plain the international situation |
as it appeared to Hawaiians. Now
comes Minister Willis, who voluntarily
places himself on record to the effect |
that the people of Hawaii have been
uniformly friendly and amiable; more
Tan that, they have been very cordial
In their treatment of him as the repre-
sentative of the United States, not har-
boring resentments. There could hard
ly be stronger testimony than this to
he self-restrained and forgiving dispo-
sition of the Hawaiians. 1t will also
interest many of the Stars readers to
note-in the interview which appears
IN another column-the tribute which
Minister Willis pays to the wisdom and
capacity of the Hawaiian Government.
He says that phenomenal prosperity
that money is plentiful, and
hat people are, as matter of course.
veil content. The possibility of a fes- ,
Grafton of the monarchy-delicat
hough that thought may be for dipio-
matte conversational dismissed byl I
dr. Willis. He says there is no talk and /
10 evidence of desire to restore the ,
queen; nowhere is there appearance Of
dissatisfaction with the Hawaiian Coy

mating from some sources, such testi- =
nony as this would be no more thanl
rdinarily interesting, but coming as it | !.

monarchy, it is entitled to great deal
respect.

The list of congratulations to the
first Legislature Of the Republic would
hardly be complete without a word of
commentator upon the quiet manner
in which the Opium bill was laid
away on the shelf. Whatever may have
been the individual opinions of the
legislators on the question OF licensing
the sale Of opium, we have noted with
pleasure the readiness with which the
Special Opium Committee listened to
the assertion of public opinion that this
Legislature was not the proper body to
rake such a measure under serious ad-
visement. At the opening of the ses-
sion several members felt very much
injured by the adverse remarks passed
upon their action in the public print
Time alone could prove the wisdom of
the Senators or the public print, and as
time has passed there seems TO be no
doubt Of the ACCESSIBILITY of mailing the
opium measure in the legislative coffin
al the earliest possible date. Thanks
10 the common sense Of the representa-
uves Of the people who saw how
strong the current of public opinion
was setting. the generally accepted an
u-opium plank in the political platform
Of the Republic remains intact and we
sincerely hope that the experience of
this session will result In the anti
opium plank remaining firm in its
present place for years to come.

TRAPPING CROWS.
Skill and Patience Necessary For New
Enterprise.

Sklli anu Iatlence Necessary or New
Enterprise.
Several citizens residing in Bucks
county, Pa, are engaged in trapping
crows during the winter months Dun
ing the recent cold snap their business
was very profitable. The birds are sold
to sportsmen for shooting matches, usu.
ally bringing $40 per hundred, but, like
other things, when scarce they bring
more.
1t is no simple matter to trap crows,
for the crow is willy bird and to catch
him in II net set for that purpose requires
skill and patience as we'll, but the hun
ger of the crow is always the trappers
greatest aid. One man alone would make
but little Roadway catching crows, and
would probably sit all day in his little
bough house ready to spring his net, but
the crows would give his bait II wide
berth, because they would know that he
was in there.
After placing the carcass Of some ami.
mai on field, the net is set close to it by
bending poles of .saplings on which the
net is hung fiat to the ground, where
they are held down by trigGer-like pegs
and II IL liue run fifty yards or more to Il
house built Of boughs, where the trapper
is secretcd.
Another carcass is usually laid some
hundreds of yards distant on the same or
another field, where there is no net set
The trappers, usually two in number, go
into the bough house together before day
light, and when the crows begin to as
semble on the fields one of them goes out
and walks away.
The crows, seeing him leave grow IL
little holder, and approach the bait in
ones and twos, but stop only long enough
to get IL bealiful of flesh and fly Off again.
The carcass where there is no net is, Of
the best patronizcd, but the trap.
per on the outside makes it his business
to walk near enough to that to keep the
crows from settling on it in numbers,
and thus satisfying their hunger with.
out going to the one where the net is.
After Il while their hunger gets the bet

they gather Oh the carcass where the net
Is. This is the opportunity of the man
i'll the bough house, who, with Il vigorous
pull on the line, springs the net over
them. Quick work must be done then
by the 'trappers, who rush up to the net
to keep the trapped crows from crawling
out ut the ends and the front, where it is
not stnked fast tic the ground.
With their hands covered with stout
bucksllin gloves to keep the crows from
biting and scratching them, the captured
birds pre put in bags ready to be carried

the main pipe was choked, and laborccs
were at once put to work digging the
dirt out for about ten feet. After sew

the obstruction was supposed to be-
Every now and then they were surprised
TO hear scratching noise that came from
within the pipe, and many reasons were
given as to the cause. Finally the pipe
was opened, ami they worked, taking
out the pipe for some distance, until the
whistle blew for dinner, says the Phila,

After eatn" their we'll earned meal,
they all started TO the hole TO begin the
afternoons work. On reaching the spot
they descended. But behold, they saw
something crawling along the pipe. Each
dared each other to 20 l,elow ana find out
what 1T was; but, before going far, they
discovered that it was an alligator, which
was about two feet six inches long.
Everybody iii the neighborhood began to
wonder how the reptile got there and
