A Distillery Caught.

Deputy Marshal Chillingworth
went to Waialua on Saturday and
made raid on a distillery which
was located in the mountains, and
which it is claimed has done a rush
ing business. When the officers
arrived the distillery had been
blown up, but the remnants of the
machinery and five big bottles Of
fine okolehao were secured by the
authorities. Enele Liilii and Mali
ku (w) were arrested aud will be
tried in the District Court on a
charge of distilling spirtuous liquor.

TOPICS OF The DAY.

Lieutenant Lucien Young who
gained an unsavory reputation in
Hawaii in 1893 has published book
titled "The Boston at Hawaii"
President Cleveland during his ad-
ministration prohibited the. author
from publishing his book, which
was considered insulting to friend
ly Government and an independent
nation. Under the Mckinley regime
Lieutenant Young has been able to
publish his peculiar views OF condi-
tions and people in Hawaii, and or
ders for the book are being can
vassed by Mr.. VIM. Smithies. We
have not yet had the opportunity
to closely scan the work which has
been illustrated with pictures Of
nude prostitutes ('typical Hawai-
ians," according to Mr.. Young) and
OF Mr.. Dole and other similarly in
teresting subjects. When we have
had an opportunity to read this
literary work OF the "talkee- talkee"
author, we may be ready to add a
spicy chapter headed, "Lucien
Young in Hawaii"

AMERICA AND HAWAII.

We are told, and for the sake Of
argument we admit, that Hawaii
has become an integral part of the
United States of America. We have
lived to see republic formed and
overturned, and Imperial again rules
reign supreme. We cannot believe
that an unwilling" or reluctant"
population can ever become valua-
bic portion Of great country, which
boasts of its democratic principles,
aud the statesmen of which intend
to rule the latest acquisition of a
territory in manner suitable per-
haps to the "unfragrant" Indians of
Alaska, but not to a people which
has enjoyed self-government during
the past 80 years, and have proven
themselves more intelligent, better
educated and far more honest and
reliable than the majority of the
voters in that copglomeration of
people calling themselves Ameri-
cans.

Speaking Of "The Imperial Policy"
of the United States, particularly in
reference to the Spanish colonies
now being exploited, but equally
applicable to Hawaii, the N Y. Ma
tion says of the officers to govern
them: X "The salaried places
would, as rule, be given to men
who had worked hard in the last
campaign, old journalists who had
written somebody up and were out
OF job, consumptive men who
needed warm climate, sons of rich
fathers who had contributed hand
somely to the campaign chest, and
rich fathers themselves who wanted
to do little governing OF poor
heather and 'cut SWELL among
foreign 'bignigs.' If anyone thinks
that we are putting this too strong,
or, as the We'll Nows' say, we are
going too far let him go carefully
over the list Of our diplomatic and
consular appointments during the
last thirty years and then tell us if
we lie, or even exaggerate."

Ex-senator Ingalls,, famous Re-
publican, in recent letter to the
Globe, says:
Our boast has been that we have
abolished the artificial distinction

rather than pedigree the criterion
of preferment. y X We must
have been wrong, for in the last
month we have seen the health, we'll

city of 100000 men; their food,
clothing, shoes, tents, medicine,
arms, ammunition, equipage, and
pay, involving the expenditure of
hundreds of millions of dollars and
the protection OF the Government
against corrupt and incompetent
contractors intrusted to youthful
and inexperienced civilians for no
apparent reason except the shame
less importantly of influential
kinsfolk and greedy politicians with
a pull.

Senator Ingalls, assertions have
not been contradicted. If he told
the truth we fail to see the benefit
to Hawaii in being thrown from the
monarchical- oligachical frying pan

What a sham Battle Is Like.

The spectators could understand neither
its scope nor its extent They could see
that battles in these days are not fought
or won by steady onward movement,
with men marching erect and shooting as
they go, but by "A series of rushcs, with the
combatants throwing themselves fiat upon
the ground to avoid the fire of their oppo-
nents The more observant of the specta-
tors could see also that victory in battle
meant the gaining of certain positions
rather than the mere killing of men. But to
all, to guardsmen as well rs to spectators
the great puzzle of the day was how 1t
was all done. What power was there that
could bring these forces, without sign of
command or communication of any kind
between them, into a series of Positions
with retreats and advances over hilltops
and plains, through ravines and around
swamps and over bridges; that brought
order out of great confusion; that made
