BAR TO APPROPRIATIONS.

It is unfortunate that several chari-
table institutions which have hereto
fore enjoyed the countys bounty will
in future fail to figure on the appro-
priation list This is so, not because
the members of the Levy Court are
ayerse to making such appropriations,
but because they have been advised by
their attorney, an old and capable
practitioner, that they cannot lawfully
do so, the new Constitution standing
in the way.
There are some OF these institutions,
most notably the Ferris Industrial
School and the public hospitals, which
are especially deserving of appropria-
tions from the county funds, not only
in consideration OF the humane pur-
poses which they serve, but because
they deal with persons who would go
to the county jail or to the county
almshouse at much greater cost to the
county than that entailed by the care
and dattentionwhichth they receive in these
institutions. So that, instead Of saw
ing money under this constitutional
provision which acts as bar to a
continuance OF such appropriations,
the county is really a loser.
We know that the members OF the
Levy Court have been disposed to act
,,o.+ 1i1,ay-a lrNs frnn,a rdc thacp worthy y
charities, but they cannot be expected
to violate the fundamental law Of the
state for the sake OF sentiment; nor do
we believe that the men and women
who are interested in such charities
desire them to do so. 1t is an unfor-
tunate condition which must be sub
mitted to with the best grace possible
until It can be remedied.

NICHOLAS OFF MONTENEGRO.

Prince Nicholas, ruler of Montene-
gro, who is ait present paying a state
visit to London, is one Of the most pic
turesque of European princes. He is
stout, handsome man of 81, with
striking physique. The national dress,
which he loves to wear, is composed
OF full dark-blue knickerIbOckers and
crimson jacket, with flowing sleeves,
and a kappa on the head, ornamented
with crimson patch in the centre, al
luding to the blood that has flowed for
the country, and five strips Of gold
braid, standing for Montenegro's five
centuries of independence. Nicholas is
the first Of the Montenegrin princes to
have a son for a successor. The old
rule was that the Prince should be a
priest, and uncle has ever been sue
ceeded by nephew. The uncle of the
present prince, Danilo II, severed the
ecclesiastical from the temporal power,
and when he was assassinated on the
Cataro in 1860 Nicholas sncceeded him,
and Immediately married the 13-year-
old daughter Of one Of his senators.
The prince is a man of culture as
we'll as a soldier. He has written bat
tie songs and tragedies, one Of which
was played at st. Petersburg His
chief palace, at Cettinje, is an unpre-
tentious pace, like a Swiss hotel. The
boast has been made that he knows
each one of his 25OOOO subjects by
sight. He governs them in a patri-
archal fashion, and is passionately be
loved by them. He probably has the
securest throne in Europe. Likewise,
he is probably the poorest and most
democratic prince. He has occupied
his throne nearly forty years, though
he is anything but an old man. He is
an able general, and in 1878 he had
almost conquered Herzegovina from
Turkey when "the concert" came and
gave it to Austria. Unlike "the con-
cert" he is not a bit afraid of Tur-
key, which he has twice fought and
beaten.
Prince Nicholas has several sons
and daughters. OF the latter one is
crown princess of Italy and another a
grand duchess of Russia. The young
est of the three boys, child Of about
8, is the favorite of the Montenegrins
/ They say "he never misses his bird
hence his popularity. At the opera
recently Prince Nicholas was intro
duoed to two or three American gen
tlemen, and one Of them, somewha
unwisely, considering that he is sov
ereign, asked his highness what h
/. thought Of the American-Spanish war
"I will tell you," replied the prince
"as soon as we have heard from Samp
SON." Then the English equerry in at
tendance turned the conversation

WONDERFUL! MARVELLOUS !
Two Shows Under One Tent-A
Record Beaten.

At $50 last evening a Valley resi-
dent telephoned to this office a Lost
adlet. The missing article was a silk
cape. In fifteen minutes by the clock
in the meat shop across the street a
lady whose home is in Makiki tele-
.phoned to the Advertiser that she had
found silk cape on Nuuanu avenue.
This incident shows that the Adver-
tiser never sleeps, that il has a circula-
ton covering all the territory between
the North and South Poles and the
Tennessee regiment as well.
Testimonials from the loser and find
.er of the cape are in course of prepare

be instahed by the Honolulu Rapid

WAR LUNGS.

One Of the first rules OF the Naval
Academy at Annapolis is this:
At all times in mastering in the
crews the captains must call the names
in the lowest tone that viii secure
attention"
In the volunteer service there is a
tendency 10 shout all orders. In the
old fashioned militia the voice of the
commander was used to its utmost
capacity. The bravery and capacity
of the officer was measured by the
strength of his lungs. The best action
is secured with the least possible force.
No strength is wasted.

The ghost is justified in making a
final stand. No doubt he informs
friendly ghosts who are not disturbed,
that it was the greatest mistake of
mis- life" to have encouraged the
greedy instincts of Columbus before he
began his voyage by picturing the num-
Der Of slaves and the amount of gold,
he might obtain, if he sailed westward.
Columbus got little out of the ven
ture. Mrs. columbus only became sus-
picious, even after his death. And the
ghost, for nearly four hundred years,
he must make another voyage across
the Atlantic, and suffer once more the
pains OF astral seasickness.

A TROUBLED GHOST.

The ghost OF Columbus should serve
notice on mankind that it will stand
no more nonsense, if the story, which
we print in another column is correct,
regarding the circulation of his re
mains" through Spanish territory.
Some speculative scientists declare
that ghosts closely attend the body of
the departed The removal of the re-
mains involves a removal of the ghost.
Mrs Columbus, for some reason, APP
pears to have been suspicious of her
husbands ghost, and in order to take
it away from some unexplained and
supernatural emptation-perhaps the
propinquity of a lady ghost-adopted
the plan OF travelling with his remains,
which forced the ghost to follow. Some
spiritual medium had undoubtedly
limited at the irregular conduct OF
Columbus ghost.
While the body was temporarily de-
posted in the church in Valladohd,
the ghost appears TO have made an
unfortunate acquaintance with the
nelShDorlng ghosts, winch ulu MOI
please Mrs. C. SO she removed the
body to Seville, where it remained
many years, and where it's spiritual
companions were of the higher class OF
the late lamented of the city.
In removing the body across the
ocean to San Domingo, the ghost must
have endured many hardships, espe-
cially in the swell of what the theoso-
phists would call astral bilge water.
But on that Island the local and In
dian ghosts must have been uncon-
genial. 1t is said that when the Span
iards attempted to remove the body to
Havana, the priests kept part of it
in San Domingo. The ghost was then
confronted with the problem OF double
allegiance, like the Americans who
tried on these Islands to retain their
American citizenship and at the same
time hold Hawaiian citizenship. The
mediums have not left any record OF
the final settlement of these super
natural rights and liabilities. And
now another removal must take place.

NOVEMBER 10.
NO LAND FOR ENCAMPMENT?

When Gen. Merriam states in his
report, made TO the War Department,
that he cannot find suitable spot for
an encampment here he states that
which is not true. He could have
found it, if he had seriously under
taken to do so. 1t was not, and is not,
an easy matter to find suitable place.
War itself, business of every kind, pre-
sents more or less difficulties.
Men VINO know every square foot Of
the land on this Island, are connected
with the Government. The land agent,
the tax assessor, the officials OF the
Interior Office could have readily point
ed out what land there is available for
camps
We are Informed that neither Gen.
Merriam nor any of the military auth
critics, nor any one representing the
United States, ever approached the Gov
eminent officially and asked the aid of
it's knowledge and experience in Sc
lecting a proper spot. 1t is known that
Minister Damon made some sugges-
tions about it, and pointed out at least
one tract of land. Aside from his sug-
gestion, the Government was neither
by letter nor verbally asked to aid in
securing the needed ground.
If Mr.. Dillingham;, a man full of re-
sources and energy had been requested
to secure the place needed, we believe
he would have promptly secured it.
If the military authorities had, in
the first instance, said to the Govern
ment: I'VE have the right to expect
your hearty cooperation in securing
the spot we need, and ask you to kind
ly aid u.s." the Government would have
responded with alacrity. 1t would have
gone further. 1t would, we believe, in
the failure of authority to expend
money here by the military command
ant, have advanced money willingly,
and equipped a camp with water facili-
ties and sanitary convenienceS. The
camp site at Waikiki was chosen with
out Government suggestion.
When Gen. Merriam informed the
Government that he required parts OF
Inc Executive DullulllS lOf military use,
and was told that the entire building
was needed for the civil administra-
ton, he replied that he could take the
premises, and the Government offices
could be established in tents. OF
course. this was clear intimation to
the Government that it's assistance was
not needed. And it stood off even at the
peril of allowing the typhoid fever to
spread.
The report of Gen. Merriam is incor-
rect, and if not contradicted, may make
"a serious difference in the disposition
OF troops in these Islands. The annual
cost of maintaining regiment is over
$4,000 The time may come when
that amount will be very acceptable to
our local merchants.
However. the little friction that has
existed will in time be reduced, and
the military and civil cogwheels will
operate more smoothly.
