. INTERESTING EQUITY SUIT.
Neglected TO Provide for Interest in
an Agreement OF sale.

Judge Archibald was given an unusu-
ally interesting case to adjudicate in
yesterdays session of equity court. f.
f. Nettleton was plaintiff and Josiah
d. Caryl, defendant Patterson and
Wilcox appeared for Mr.. Nettleton and
j. w. Carpenter for Mr.. Caryl.
1t appears that on Jan. 90, 1891, the
plaintiff sold to Caryl a piece of real
estate valued at $500. The negotia-
tions were made and the deal con-
summated by Jadwin's Real Estate
agency, BY some mistake or accident
the party who drew up the agreement
and terms of sale neglected to make
any mention of interest.
According to the stipulations, Caryl
paid $500 down and 5000 a year for six
years. The last payment was due in
January, 1897. Caryl had paid 1892 in
advance, and when the time was up
rendered the other SS0S of the $500 and
asked for receipt in full. Nettleton
refused to accept this as final payment,
claiming that $1,071.06 was due him,
the difference of S7630G being the in
terest which he claimed was owing
Caryl held that there was no interest
due; thar no agreement had been made
regarding the interest in the written
terms of sale and that no mention was
made of 1t verbally when the deal was
being negotiated.
Nettleton thereupon entered judg-
ment for S1,O71.OG against Caryl and
brought a suit in equity to have the
terms of sale amended by the inser-
tion Of the words with interest an
nually," as he claims was the under
standing.

A number of plays have been written
with the Spanish-Cuban war as a sub
ject, but none have reached the stirring
and desired point, as has "Cuba's Vow,"
which will be presented at the Academy
of Music the first three days of next
week. The story hinges on the murder
of nearly all the members of Cuban
family, by the order of the wife of a
Spanish general. A daughter called Cuba
Verona over the body of her dead par
ents. swears vengeance and the play
deals with her determined efforts to keep
her vow. Cuba Verona is the central
attraction of this great production, and
will be acted by Teres'e Deagle, regarded
as one of Americas foremost emotional
actresses. She has the support Of pow
erful company of fifty artists, well picked
and handsomely staged.

The Rising Generation.

Comedian Billy Barry, who comes TO
the Lyceum Wednesday, Jan. 12, with his
successful Irishman-American comedy,
"The Rising Generation" can justly be
called the leading Irish comedian of
America. His work is not only irresisti-
bly, funny, but 1t is thoroughly natural
and artistic. 1.-The Rising Generation
gives him an excellent opportunity for
the display of his rare qualities and en-
ables him to keep an audience In a con-
tinual roar of laughter while he is on the
stage. The company surrounding Mr..
Barry is an unusually large one and COM
prises some excellent talent.

Tannehill's THE Nancy Hanks" light
comedy in which Marie Jansen and the
author of the play, Frank Tannehill, Jr..
will appear in the star roles, is booked
for an appearance in this city Tuesday
evening at the Lyceum. '"The Nancy
Hanks" was produced last season and
was a big success everywhere 1t was
presented. 1t is sometimes called farce
comedy, but it deserves a better name
than that usurped by senseless concoc-
ton of song, dance and idiocy. True,
"The Nancy Hanks" offers song and
dance, but they are legitimately intro7
duced into a story whose complications
never exceed the limits of probability al

KAPIOLANI PARK.

The community ought to be, and we
hope, is, grateful to the men who had
the forethought, to plan the KapiOlani
Park, and the energy to execute it. 1t
is so easy to forget obligations, that it
is a most important duty of the Press
to occasionally remind benefciaries of
the benefits conferred.
Everyone can see that if the land in
cluded in the park had not been taken
when it was, it would now be almost
impossible to secure it at prices which
the Government could afford to pay.
We are singularly fortunate in it's To-
cation, because the extension Of travel
and residence is around and beyond it.
Only to those who have not had the
opportunity to ride or walk through
it, need it be said that its large area of
$50 acres makes it, in proportion to the
population of the city, one of the larg-
est of urban parks. 1t will be sutfi-
cient for the needs of the people for a
century to come. The marvellous
many places, the appearance of age.
Already many of the walks and drives
are singularly beautiful. All this has
really been done by several public
spirited men. who have charged moth
ing for their time which is money to
them. The community has really OBJ
tanned through their foresight, an ex-
uuisite gife. 1t is, indeed, SO precious
it is hardly appreciated.
While it is used mainly at present
by those who can afford to own anc
hire carriages, the construction o
rapid transit, will throw it open to al
classes. with rates of fare SO low tina
all can enjoy it. Therefore, it become
an important matter to everyone tina
it be kept in the best order, and Inn
proved. The care of $50 acres of sucl
grounds, involves some expense. Tn
facts which we present elsewhere shoY
the present condition of the manage
ment. 1t hardly does credit to the com
nunity that it has not taken more IN
terest in the matter.
Elsewhere, there is no public objec
which secures such generous supper
as the breathing places" AS we ar

beauties of our town, and we'll we may

trail, she is subject TO be treated as an
enemy by Spain, or to a claim for
damages, which she will have neither
the legal nor the physical power to
resist.
This is a question which cannot be
postponed. Inaction is positive action
in this case. Failure to declare and
enforce her neutrality constitutes ac-
ton on the part of Hawaii, fixing her
status toward and her liability to
Spain.
"On the other hand, such neutrality
action on the part of Hawaii will de-
prive US of an advantage which we
now have and which we can retain by
saying the word. The United States
must either fish or cut bait. 1t can no
longer continue the shilly shally
course toward Hawaii which it has
maintained for the past five years.
The evolution of circumstances has
forced upon this country situation
which makes immediate decision i'm
perative and unavoidable. What shall
the answer be? Do we want Hawaii
or shall we let it go?"

OUR RELATIONS WITH THE
STATES.

There seems to be an opinion held
here by some people, that Hawaii only
is to be benefited by annexation, and
therefore it is good politics to tender
to the United States, the use of the
Islands during the existing war.
The question in America is, however,
not what may be good for Hawaii, but
what is best for the United States
That involves a question of cool and
sound Judgment, and the American
statesmen will settle it. There is moth
ing for us now to do, but to remain
massive, and do whatever needs to be
done, as the occasion demands.
AS a matter of international law,
Hawaii, unfortunately, still remains an
independent and sovereign State. She
has been laid, as a gift, at the feet OF
the American Government, and the ac-
ceptance of this gift has been fervently
urged. But that Government, as a
whole, hesitates to accept the gift,
or recognize the strategic value OF II.
AS a Nation, it can open its thumb and
forefnger and pick up the gift at
moments notice. 1t permits the indie
pendent sovereignty of the Islands to
continue.
Our neutrality is entirely in the
hands of that Nation. 1t may termin-
ate it, whenever it chooses to do so.
AS Nation, it will act, in the matter,
not for the benefit of Hawaii, but for
the benefit of its own people.
Having placed the Islands at the dis
position of the American Government,
entirely, and unreservedly, an ELUSIVE
tender of the Islands to that Govern
ment for strategic purposes, during the
present crisis, is hardly necessary.
There is a touch of the vulgar COM
mercial spirit in it, the spirit of the
dealer in ready made clothing who
saws to his customer: MY friend,
YOU hesitate to take that suit OF
clothes? Well, suppose you wear them
until you have made up your mind
about it," The dealer is willing enough,
but he does not give his customer
credit for much intelligence.
President Mckinley desires to an
mex these Islands. He does not care to
trife with or temporarily use them.
The opponents of annexation might
be only too glad to have him temper
arily occupy them, without any regard
to neutrality, and then declare that
the Islands should remain independent,

but subject to the temporary occupa-
ton of the United States forces, when
ever an emergency occurs. 1t would
impair the force of the annexation
movement TO do so. unless it led TO
something more permanent. The
President will, undoubtedly, fully con
slider the bearing of events, as they
happen, upon the plan Of annexation.
If he sees in the existing relations, and
contracts between the United States
and Hawaii, any right or authority to
use the Islands, he will do so, if neces-
sary, without reference to our wishes
or hopes in the matter. 1t is not a mat
ter of sentiment, but of craftsmanship
and right He would hardly ask of us
the favor of using the Islands, how
ever willing we are to permit the use,
and desire that he should. In the Gu
ban affair, the President has shown his
strong sense of responsibility, and by
his wise and conservative action, has
secured the solid support of the people,
will move in our matter with the same
caution in order to avoid charge by
the anti-annexationists, that he is US
ing the war feeling to subdue opposi-
ton in Congress.
If he desires to use our port, in the
present emergency, he will do so, I'M
der some existing right, and will pro-
tect it against Spanish invasion. But,
| from the introduction of the joint reso-
luton in the House, it may be infer
| red that the instant and open accept
ance of the gift already made is, in his
opinfon, the simplest and best course.
