HELENE.
Home After Ten Days - Rough
"eather-Anchor Found.

After an absence of two weeks. the
steamer Helene returned 10 port at IL
o'clock last night with but 1000 bags
OF sugar in her hold She took UP a
large amount of freight for Paauhau.
Kukaiau, Laupahoehoe and Ookala and
after landing this safely. started in TO
load sugar. The weather was very
rough and many times, il became ne
cessary 10 cease work. Had the boats
gone ashore at that time. they must
surely have been smashed on the
rocks.
While preparing to leave Paauhau,
the Helene's anchor got afoul of some
thing very heavy which proved to be q
5000 pound anchor which had been al
the bottom of the sea there for many
years. The labor of getting the anchor
aboard ship was very great.
At Paauhau also, 10-foot shark wa:
| caught.

the Kinau would be in at the usua

AT THE CIRCUS
The Opening Performance
Proves a Fine Success.
Harry Dixon's Riding-The Contor.
Ponies" Funny Peanuts"

For its initial performance in Ho-
nolulu, Wilson's circus had very
good audience. The people who at
tended applauded and laughed a good
deal and seemed to be entirely satisfied
with the entertainment. The program
was a long one. There was merit in
every number and considering that it
was the first night after a long sea
voyage things went quite smoothly.
There are many novelties and many
very good things in the circus. The
interior was nicely decorated and well
lighted. There was an avenue Of palms
for the entrance and there was one
big Hawaiian flag and a lot of the
stars and stripes. Seating arrange
ments are excellent.
There is not poor performer in the
company. The St. Icons and Jack
Hayes were warmly welcomed. The
liliputians and the little ponies furnish
amusement for young and old alike
There is no question about Funny
Peanuts" being funny. AS a clown
he is prize for any circus.
There is a division of opinion as tC
Harry Dixon and Lahl Sing. So fan
as those who looked the matter III
were able to tell, the best judges were
satisfied that Dixon is much superior
to the man who was Wirth's star
Hundreds of personal friends of Lab
Sing were in the audience last nigh
and they applauded DiXon's riding tC
the echo. He is certainly a pheno
minal horseman.
The opening grand pageant makes {
pretty scene. Miss Frederick handle:
horse beautifully, and Miss Will
son is decidedly skillful with foul
horses. Miss Wallet rides we'll and i!
an expert on the trapeze. The riding
monkey made big hit. All the clown!
are laugh producers.
The Virets are wonderful in thei1
contortion act They do about the bes
work of that sort ever seen here.
Altogether the show is more and bet
ter than promised and from what MI
Wilson says there is a whole lot il
reserve Last night the tots swun,
Indian clubs and the windup was al
| expose of circus riding with a bo.
whose antics made people laugh til
tears ran down their cheeks. The tricl
dogs and the Ceylon dwarf bull wer
not on the program. Mr.. Wilson say
all he has in the shop will be shown
| in due time and that when all hand
have their sea legs back they will d.
better yet. The band is a little lame
but is to be improved.
Another performance will be givel
| at this evening.

KALUNA'S CASE.
Officers Interfere in Health Board
Agreement.

At meeting a couple of weeks ago,
the Board of Health authorized Mr..
Reynolds to proceed and deal with
Kaluna, leper in Koolau who had
requested to be permitted to make a
trip to Kauai on business before TAX
ing passage for Molokai. Mr. Reynolds
granted and in accordance with the
advice of the Board sent a permit to
Kaluna Kaluna had been in the foot
hills in Koolau and was armed, but
was not considered a dangerous man.
On receiving his paper from the Board
Of Health he came down to one of the
little settlements along the beach and
began preparations for his journey to
Honolulu and on to Kauai. Kaluna
sold his gun and ammunition. Some
officious policemen, hoping to make
good a claim for reward made a de-
scent on the house in which Kaluna
was sojOurneying and with drawn re-
volvers arrested the man. They then
telephoned to Honolulu an account of
their capture and asked for instruc-
tons. They were told to release the
man and to report to Honolulu. They
came over and were read a lecture and
may be further punished. Later in
the day Kaluna arrived in town with a
friend for the purpose of keeping his
part of the agreement with the Board
of Health. The Attorney General was
very much vexed with the action of
the Koolau officers, who should have
known, if they did not, that they were
interfering in the case in a manner to
prejudice the Board of Health.

name in London and the larger cities
Is legion. He is considered TO be good
enough to elect a member Of Pariia-
ment, but not wise enough to select a
veEtryman or County Councillor. The
explanation offered Of this absurd
anomaly is that the lodger is not a
Tattpayer, and is too frequently a bird
OF passage. But both of these objec-
ticEs, IL true, would apply to a much
larger section of County Council and
parcchial electors-the tenement occu-
piers.
The difference between the tenement
occIpier and the lodger is that the
former pays rent TO landlord who does
not reside on the premises, while the
latter pays his rent to resident land
lord The difference Is one of tweedlt-
dunn and tweedledee, so far as 10Th
payment Of rates and stability of oc-
cuI,ation are concerned. The lodger
pays rates in his rent just as the tene-
rlent occupier does. If, therefore, con-
tributing to the local and municipal
rates is the qualification for the pa
rcchial and municipal franchise. the
lodger is entitled TO it equally with the
tenement holder.
We shall see presently that the lodgcr
Is the Cinderella of the registration pan-
tcnime, who is clothed with the rags
OF the franchise, while her elder sis
ters, the householder and the tenement
ocourier, are all glorious with every
garment OF the suffrage.
So far We have dealt, by way of
Introduction and for the better under :
standing Of the vagaries Of registration,
with questions of the franchise rather
than the technical work Of registration.
REGISTRATION
Tt is when we come to the duties of
the registration officers that the ano-
males become ludicrous and the griev-
ances of the. elector both numerous and
pathetic.
His first trouble is compliance with
the necessary residential qualifica ton.
NCiEinally this is years residence,
but as it must be a years residence
from July 10th in one year to July 18th
in the next. the qualification is large
ly an Elusive one. The average man
will see no objection to taking posses
sion of a house or tenement on July
16th-the mere affiiction of moving will,
in ninety-nine cases out of a hundred,
absorb him in his present trouble, and
leave him no thought of preserving nis
political privileges.
But how will this move work out for
him politically? Suppose he move on
July 16, 1893, he will not be able to
begin his qualifying period until July
Is, 1899, and will not have completed
it until July Is, 1900 And as the regis
ter is made up in 1900 will not come

BRITISH ELECTORS.
PECULIAR QUALIFICATIONS
UNDER THE Law.
Extraordinary Anomalies in the
Distribution OF the Right OF
Suffrage.

Inc asinine qualities of the law are
nowhere more OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES not
tragically-demonst than in the
registration courts, which sit for the
revision Of the electoral register. Ex-
eept the weather, nothing in this coun-
tfy IS more uncertain than citizen 8
voting qualification.
In it's infinite but variable vision,
The Legislature has created four kinds
or celebrates; "a Parliamentary, CD
County, G; parochial. C4) School Boarl.
For the last named there is no official
register, the ratebook being used as the
list of voters; but for the other three
eiectorates there is an official registcr
Ia three divisions, which goes through
t1e process of legal revision every Sep
tember
The various classes Of electors are:
taD Householders.
(b> Tenement occupiers.
tct Lodgers.
td) Service voters (persons living in
service, as shop assistants, coachmeii,
etcl.
(e) Occupiers (other than dwelling
houses) of f10 value.
(D Women, with qualifications (a)
kDi, NS).
For Parliament women may not vote;
for County Council and parochial pur-
poses women are included but dodgers
ard service voters are disqualified. 1t
should be added that the position of the
elector is further carefully complicated
by allowing him to vote in any number
OF boroughs for Parliament, for only
one constituency for his County Council.
and for every parish in which he has a
qualification if he be parochial elector.
Thus, if Parliamentary or parochial
elector be upon the register of Padding
ton. Fulham, Westminster and a dozen
other Parliamentary boroughs or par
ishes, he may vote in each; while as a
County Council elector he could vote
in only one of the constituencies.
THE LODGER.
The most remarkable anomaly, so
far is the position Of the lodger whose
