out another anchor and the two held

Yachtsmen should bear in mind to
anchor several hundred feet above and
outside the wharf at Heeia, where there
IS good bottom. Close in, the mud

hoisted, anchors gotten IN and every
thing made snug for the return trip.
The run down Koolau bay is an ideal
one. Full sea breeze, smooth water
and scenery OF indeScribable beauty.
The party were loath to leave the bay
but time was flying and forty-five miles
of rough water lay between them and
Honolulu. The lower or koolau pas
sage is rough enough 10 suit anyone.
Every wave looked like breaker, sure,
and 1t took over half an hour 10 beat
out into deep water. When there, how
ever one tack was all that was neces-

MOkapu on, it was continuous coast

twenty knot clip, on big breaker in
canoe is exciting sport, but coasting on
the top of big roller in good-sized
yacht, with a strong wind pushing be-
hind is still more exciting. The run
from koko Head to Diamond Head was
made in forty-two minutes, which Will
probably be record time for some time
to come, this being a ten knot clip. The
entire trip home averaged better than
seven knots Those who have claimed
the Gladys to be only a light weather
boat, should have seen her perfOr
mances in a heavy sea. They were
more than satisfactory as she is both
speedy and dry, which is all that can
be asked. Sailing close hauled, the
heaviest rollers did not appear to stop
her Roadway in the least and the over
hang forward kept her nose we'll up,
making her unusually dry. At no time
on the trip did any solid water come on
board, but spray was plentiful and the
entire party were we'll sailed. Moor
ings were picked up at o'clock, all be-
ing we'll pleased with what proved to
be the finest trip they have yet taken.
A NEW SCHOONER.
1t is pretty we'll settled that a hui,
with Prince Cupid at the head, will
soon bring down schooner yacht, that
will be a revelation to Honolulu
yachtsmen. The plans are already in
hand and the matter will be pushed
forward as rapidly as possible.
A NEW LAUNCH.
The fate of G. S. Desky's launch,
which went on the reef off Puuloa last
year, has apparently not discouraged
him very greatly, as he proposes to
have another that will cast the old one
in the shade. Something of about
eighteen knots he thinks, will do, and
he will profit by past experience and be
his own master and pilot, so no others
need apply.

the numerous additions to the Hotel

MILES AND ALGEE.

The feeling against Secretary of

have to go. John Sherman is evil
dently after his official scalp and he
will get it. The relations between
General Miles and Alger are very
strained, and the death OF Lieuten-
ant William Tiffany from fever and
starvation has caused strong pub
lie feeling against the officials who
were supposed to provide properly
for the army. II Tiffany hadn't

fearless defender Emile Zola, Col

has committed suicide after making

THURSDAY, SEPT. 8, 1898.

General King is quoted as saying:
II have never yet heard of the
United States treating anybody un-
fairly, and I think the Government
can be trusted in this matter" The
matter treated was the occupancy
by his forces of the quarters lately
occupied by the Army OF the Re-
public of Hawaii. AS to whether
the United States has ever treated
anybody unfairly we are surprised
that General King, an Indian fight
er, has never read Helen Jackson's
greatest book, entitled, "a Century
Of Dishonor," in which the wrongs
perpetrated by the United States
upon the American Indians is 80 un-
answerably set forth. Again, Cen
eral King must have been in the
bush for the past six years not to
have read something of the outrage
perpetrated by Minister Stevens and
Captain Wiltse, representatives Of
the State Department and Navy Of
the United States, in January, 1898,
by which Hawaii's Queen and peo.
pie were deprived of a throne aud
this fair land. And more than all
the Congress of the United States
has taken advantage of the outrage
perpetrated by its officials in 1898.
The United States is no better than
other bulldozing, land-grabbing ma
tions who prey upon weak nations.

THE NEW SAVINGS BANK,

The establishment of a savings
bank by the old banking house OF
Bishop e. Co., will be hailed by the
whole country with great satisfac-
tion. Men OF moderate means, who
recently have been inclined to
plunge into stock gambling, say fre.
quently, as an excuse, that there are
no safe investments here for small
capital, the former unsettled
affairs of Hawaii having made them
suspicious OF investments in govern
ment bonds or other securities.
A savings bank paying to depo-
sitors Al percent interest on their
money lie blessing to any country.
A chance is offered for the wage
Garner, and the "small" man to put
his savings in a place, where they
are absolutely safe, where he can
call for them at all times, and where
they will swell at fair rate Of in
terest # untouched
Bishop & Co. had savings bank,
as a branch Of their banking estab
lishment several years ago. When
the Postal Savings Bank was organ.
lied the private savings bank closed
in the interest OF the Government
venture, which eventually has proven
more OF an annoyance than help
to the Ministers OF Finance, who
have held their porto -folios since the
Postal Savings Bank was inaugu-
rated.
Mr.. Damon intends to run the
savings bank absolutely independent
of his banking house. 1t will be a
distinctly seperate branch of Bishop
& Co., and will be conducted in a
manner which will facilitate the re-
lations between the bank and depo-
sitors and do away with lot of the
red tape, which necessarily exists in
Government business.
The United States Government
opposes any measure which can lay
it open to a charge of being a
"paternal" government. The Postal
Savings Banks are beyond doubt ol
a "paternal" nature, and as soon as
a permanent government for Hawaii
has been framed, the Postal Savings
Bank will cease to exist.
The savings bank of Bishop g. Co
will be great benefit to the coun.
try, and will meet with the success
which it deserves.

So we have an imperi,tm in in,perio.
King Dole has government inside

very dangerous and somewhat awk-

for reasons that may be developed
in time; but one that is obvious
suggests itself to us as allowing
King Dole to draw the salaries due
to the President OF the Republic of
Hawaii, which we supposed was de-
funct, and as King McKinley's Com
missioner to Hawaii. This plan will
reward handsomely King Dole's
treachery to Queen Liliuokalani and
her subjects, and pave the way for
his retirement from public life, al
