SECTIONALISM.

A Democratic organ of San
Francisco accuses the Republican
party of fomenting sectional dis
cord in the Union for party pur-
poses, saying that "the gold press
Of the East as whole is now ex-
hausting its energies sowing dra.
CONS teeth" Probably the truth
is that the silver press Of the West
and South is equally guilty with
its opponent in the East on that
score. 1t is the meanest resort of
politicians anywhere, to charge
their opponents with want of sense
and patriotism. Many a party
that has been so maligned has
come to rule, and, to be logical,
the party that had accused it of
being an enemy of the country
would need to assert that the ma
ton was not fit for self govern
ment. Enormous majorities all
one way in particular sections of
the United States at this cleo
ton would, after so much mu-
tual recrimination as to sectional
ism, create a most undesirable
situation in the Union, approach

AN UNHAPPY RETORT.

1t must be a sense of guilt
which makes the Advertiser put
a strained meaning on the word
this paper applied to its insulting
reference to the President of the
United States. "Vulgar," accord
ing to the Standard Dictionary,
has these among other meanings:
somewhat COARSE" offensive to
good taste and refined sentiment"
opposed to reputable literary
usage" "inelegant, unrefned, as a
vulgar word, speech, or PRACTISE"
but "only in loose usage" what
The Advertiser resents as applied
to its language. 1t was simply in
the ordinary sense of the quoted
definitions, foregoing, that the
BULLETIN classed as vulgar the
Advertisers brag, on behalf of
Mr.. Thurston, that the President
never could click" that gentle
man. The Advertiser seems to be
self.convicted, by its reply of this
morning, of using words in ignor-
snce of their ordinary significa.
ton, or, worse, of deserving the
judgment, EVIL be to him that
evil thinks" That pretentious
sheet, by the exhibition in ques-
ton, at least proves that its
etymology is next to being as
awry as its VIGOROUSLY faulty
photography. Scarcely a day
passes but it employs both big
and little words that it has not
learned to spell. This mornings
issue is no exception. Its litera-
ny features are, to be precise,
vulgar"

A late British paper has an
item saying that the terrible ORR
entail disease, beri beri, has broken
out in lunatic asylum in Dublin.
There are between 20 and 80 cases.
The disease first appeared there
two years ago and, being attribut-
ed to overcrowding, the authori-
ties decided to build a complement
airy asylum at a cost of about one
million dollars. Official slowness
has, however, delayed the work,
and the consequence is the formid-
able outbreak of the malady re-
ported.

ing almost within sight that which
war had to resolve in the sixties.
1t is to be hoped that there will be
a splitting up of sections by the
vote, and that the winning party
will obtain its victory by moder-
ate majorities here and there in
different sections. Such a result
would do more than anything else
toward sterilizing the alleged seed
of dragons teeth, besides proving
to the world that the American
nation as a grand whole had de-
cided the main questions at issue
upon their pure merits. There is
little fear of the country's going
altogether to the bad as a result
of either party's success, but
tranquility is apt to be made less
secure if the result should mean
pronounced sectional domination.
1t is true that for a quarter of
century there was Northern
domination, which, however, is
not a parallel of what is now
possibility, for that domination
was an effect of past trouble
which time was likely to over
come, whereas sectional DONNA
ton now on entirely new lines
of controversy is apt to be the
cause of different territorial
division from the former one,
which might forebode another
"irrepressible conflict"

COMING CRICKETERS.

1t is almost hoping against hope
to expect an exhibition of scienti-
fic cricket from the calling in of
the returning Australian champ
ions. No team could be collected
in Honolulu which would be able
even to make faces at the visitors.
The time of the steamers arrival
is uncertain. Being professional
players the Australians would
hardly sacrifice the time of their
welcome run on shore to amuse
the public without the assurance
of a goodly sack of gate money,
and it is doubtful if there is
enough interest in the game here
to fill the grand stand at short
notice even to see the ablest expo
nents of cricket in the world at
the wickets. If, however, the
local cricketers and any consider
able number of others think it
worth while to make an effort to
secure an exhibition, no time
should be lost in getting together
and considering plans of action.
One scheme that might work
would be to have two local play
ers choose teams, drawing alter
nately from the visitors until
they were all chosen and then
filling up with the best home
players. This would afford an
exhibition of both the bowling
and the batting of the champions,
even if the side winning the toss
should hold the wickets for the
day. The baseball ground should
be secured and tickets sold in adj
vance Professionally, the money to
be refunded if there should be
no game. 1t would probably be a
great thing for cricket in Homo
lulu if game could be secured.
Baseball here was but rudely
played, most popular though the
games were for many years, until
Frank Hogs brought a team of
first class players from the Coast
to expound its finer points. An
exhibition by the Australian
players might do as much for
cricket, which, although tanner for
the spectators than baseball, is
second to no other field sport as a
means of healthful exercise for
the players. 1t is a game, more
over, that has been recommended |
particularly to middle.aged men
by the medical faculty. The
management of the Honolulu
Cricket Club might at least con-
vene a general meeting, inviting
all who may feel an interest in
the subject, to consider the ques-
ton of trying to get an exhibition
from the Australians.

NEW ST. MP ACT.

1t is sad to see the Star persist

very long ago both the Advertiser

answer criticisms upon govern
mental action or policy. Day be-
fore yesterday the Stars charge
of incompetency in street. making
against the Government was
noticed, and yesterday a muttered
growl of the Advertiser against
the neglect of an important pub

against the petty recognition of
ex. Minister Thurston in the
placing of his portrait on a post
age stamp, stamp indeed which
is not for the general public's vul.
gar use. 1t is very unkind to its
patrons in this matter, objecting
to scheme by which they
may raise money by cater
ing to the stamp collecting specula-
tors. The Star does not say, if it
has it on its mind, that the get.
ting up of an exclusive stamp for
the Foreign Office is in line of the
example set by miserable cheats
o' countries in Central and South
America and by obscure, semi
berbarous governments in islands

itself with commencing the
Hawaiian Government to the
example oftheUnited States, which
does not permit the picture of a
living person to be printed on a
postage stamp. Yet it admits that
il was silent when the American
rule was ignored in the placing of
President Dole's image on a post

Before WhltelaW Reld be-
came Minister to France he
devoted a good deal of his
time to the conduct of his pa
per, the Tribune. The copy
editors who put up the head
lines of stories of the day fell
into the habit of making most
of them interrogative, as, for
instance, "Was it murder or
Suicide?" or did she kill him
for lover" or "Will the PreSi-
dent sign it," etc.
The whole paper was speck-
led with interrogative points.
The thing had been going for
weeks, till one day a postal ar
rived, addressed to Mr.. Reid,
and marked personal. 1t read
as follows:
"l'm getting awful tired of
your questions. Why don't
you find out something? A
great newspaper is supposed to
know everything, and ought
not to annoy its readers with
needless inquiries. This morn
ing you asked: twill Mr..

That night an order came
that the Tribune must ask few

In spite of Whitelaw Reds
experience we are tempted to
ask the people of Hawaii a few
leading questions, just an even
half a dozen of them.
QUESTION 1-Haveyou seen

you to call and take a look at it.
1t has an automatic rotarymove-
ment as we'll as the up and

QUESTION2-Have you seen
the new BRASS BIRD CAGES
we have just received? They
are beauties and they only cost
from $3.50 to $3.50 according
to style.
QUESTION Have you seen
the PAINTED Bird Cages we

QUESTION 4-Have you seen
the HARTMAN STEEL WIRE
MATS we are offering? The
rainy season is coming on and
they are just what you want.
They are cheap, Clearly and
indeStructible.
QUESTION Have you seen
the RAIN GAUGES we have
lately imported? With one of
these little instruments you
can laugh at the Clerk of the
Weather and give him a point
er after every storm.
QUESTIONo-Havey you seen
the latest thing out? 1t is a
