JUBILEE OF THE AUSTRIAN EMPKsoR.
StaHdaya-London, Dec. a

Good bye, Youth. is a saying sttrib-
uted to Francis Joseph at his accession,
In old age he bears the burden as cheer
fully and bravely as if he we're fresh to
rule. Ample, indeed, would be his
reward il his subjects in every province
could but follow his example. He has
practised the supreme art OF forgetting
all that is irrevOcable in a bitter past,
and of making each crisis a new starting
point on the road of hope and lasting
peace. II IfpolitIcians IN the multitudinous
Parlaments of the Empire could only
cultivate this saving grace offorgiveness
and of consigning worn out ieuds to
oblivion, and joining hands heartily with
old antagonists, the desires OF Europe
for the Emperor would be fulfilled.

DasH MsaOS-LondOn, Dec. Z.

The Emperor Francis Joseph, while
showing sympathetic interest in the
rejoicings for the jubilee, keeps firmly
TO his resolution to take no active part
IN the celebration. He will spend the
day in quiet mourning" . He
has had everything to endure in his fifty
years OF rule, the heaviest cares OF State,
and the keenest pangs Of personal suffer
ing. He will probably leave Austria
weaker than he found il, though It was
tottering to its fall when be came TO the
throne. He had to face tremendous
civil war, and his empire was saved only
by the compassionate Intervention Of
neighbor. AS it's its OUTLYING parts have
crumbled to pieces in bis hands. He
has lost the lead Of Germany, and the
i'll assorted union Of races and faiths and
national ideals has become weaker than
ever by the mere lapse oi time. He has
lost brother, son and a wife
As he stands now in his lonely grandeur,
he is perhaps the saddest Of all the sons
OF men.

LUNATIcs IN SECRET CONFINEMENT.

CaSSsH'S Saturday Journal.
Il am quite sure that rich lunatics
need a great deaI more care and prOtec.
ton than they get. Many of them are not
really so well treated aspauper lunatics."
This startling statement was made by
a gentleman connected with West End
nursing association. Pressed by the
writer tor some details, he continued:--
"Well. some rich Iunatics are not
certified, and are kept at home or in a
private house without the knowledge Of
anybody except the immediate relations
and a servant or nurse, Every certified
case, you know. IS visited at least once
a year by the Commissioners in Lunacy,
who see that the person is properly
looked after and so forth. But no official
knows anything about uncertiie6 cases.
You can practically do anything you like
with them, There is in a house not a
mile from here lunatic kept under lock
and key in his own rooms, That man
has not lett his apartment for years. His
food is taken in to HIM by a servant, anti

which Idoubt-she does no trouble her
self about him, tor she is an exceedingly
worldly woman, and is present at social
gatherings Of all kinds Every day she
goes out driving as il there were no
skeleton IN her household. I know a
nurse who was once sent for to look
after case Of this kind. On reaching
the house, he found the patient in a
shocking condition. The butler was
supposed to have look ed after the
gentleman, but he had done little more
than feed him, The patient was in bed,
and his skin was black, not having been
washed tor years, while his hair hung
down his back, and was matted with
dirt, The poor lunatic could not speak.
Terrible as was his state, the nurse
soon got him clean, and he lived for
ten years afterwards. A case in -
shire was nearly as bad. Near a GER
tain town in the royal county there
lived lady who was supposed TO be
a widow, Nobody knew anything
about her. Eventually she sent up TO
town for a male nurse for her husband,
who was a lunatic, and who had been
removed there secretly from somewhere
in the Midlands, Before he saw the
gentleman or was told anything about
the case, he had to promise not to say
word about it. Well, the patient was in
a perfectly lndescribable state. He had
been disgracefullY neglected, as YOU
may Judge when tell YOU that his nails
were nearly twice as long as Chinese
lady's."

In all ways the Emperor King has
earned the affectionate loyalty Of his
subjects and the sincere gratitude of
Europe. His position, always exalted

by a series OF tragedies which has over

when he heard the terrible news from
Geneva, There is something in the

day and night for his country, and los

call forth the deepest and truest sym

Ings have given him a higher place in

CAN KEEP THE CHANGE
THE REPUBLIC NOT LIABLE FOR
STAMP DUTY.


Col Mactarlaue counot get the SI~4

sued the Republic for it. but the jus
tees of the supreme Court this morn
ing told him i'm effect that while they
were not sure that it was necessary
for him to have paid it. still having
paid it, he could not get il back.
Colonel Macfarlaue', contention in
this suit was that valid deed meant
Il stamped deed and that it was us
age amounting to law for the vendor
of property to pay the stamp duty.
Therefore the Government ought to
/ have paid the duty uu the deed OF the
/ Hawaiian Hotel But as it did no;.
and he was Obliged to, it should pay
him back the amount.
The Government replied that while
/ it was the usage among individuals
for the vendor to pay the duty ii was
/ the usage for the Government. when
it was the vendor. not to.
The supreme Court in decision.
signed 10y all the Justices. says:
Either alleged usage could only
go so far as to determine which party
should pay the stamp duty i'm case
any stamp duty should be payable.
/ Neither could create liability 80 pay
what the statute does not require to
be paid. \ usage cannot be of great
er force than a statute to the same
effect would be. Let us therefore as
sumo that the statute expressly pro-
vided that as between vendor and
vendee, whenever any stamp duty
should be paid at all, it should be
/ paid by the vendor. unless otherwise
| agreed. The question would then
arise whether under such statute any
stamp would he payable upon a deed
from the Government. In Hilo Sugar
| Company vs.. Mioshi, the question
arose whether a labor contract requir.
ed stamp. The statute expressly
provided that the stamp duty upon
such contracts should be paid by the
employer. The Court held that as
the Government was the employer IN
that case no stamp was required.
I'VE decide merely that the Govern.
ment is not liable to pay stamp duty
upon its deeds in the absence of an
agreement upon the subject, and con.
sequently the plaintiff has no valid
claim against the Government for the
stamp duty in question. We do not
decide that Vendee is liable fol
stamp duty ON deed from the gov
eminent. If he IS liable. he has mere
~ done his duty. If he is not liable
he has paid the money unnecessarily
With respect to deeds leases and 9th

Government deals should pay duty o.

.0NE TELLS ANOTHER.

And so the news spreads
and spreads. Housekeepers all
around are talking of the fine
quality Of goods bought at our
grocery department. AS the
news spreads, SO our groceries
spread all over the city, from
Waikiki to Palama; from the
wharf to way up the valley.
There is only one conclusion
to be drawn, and that is that
the quality of goods must be
right-not only that. but the
prices are right, the attention
is right, and the goods are in
the right condition.
Every one knows of the Americ-
an Biscuit Company and the class
of goods they make. The follow
ing are few of the many styles of
crackers that we carry: Graham
Wafer, Honey, Popular, Oyster,

Canned Fruits.

In buying these goods you can
not be too careful; many people have
experienced rather disastrous re-
suits from buying cheap trash, put
up in tin. We can vouch for the
brands we carry. In the Cooking
Fruits, we have a full assortment in
gallon cans. Very economical when
a larger amount is required. The
Table Fruits have the best known
brands in the market, put up in
two and half pound tins, and a
smaller size known as the lunch
tins for campers and picnicers.

Trouble in the Chinese Quarter Ends

There has been trouble down i'm the
Chinese quarter between the Chin

the police were looking for both.
Things came TO a crisis yesterday af-

the Chinese theater. Out in front of
the theater. All Chin, a woman, ac-
cording to the statements of some of
the witnesses, caught All Choy by the
queue, and trouble began at once.
Partisans of both sides joined in the
melee. 1t was getting good and hot
when Mounted Patrolmen Reimann,
and Duvauchelle interviewed. and Ah

them. Loo HOon seems to have suffer

been in it.

good reasons why their attempt to

frustrated. They tried to attach it
as rider to an appropriation bill,
and they endeavorod to cmbarrass

with the general programme whlch

WM. J. BRYAN may not know
overly much but he knows enough
to know that what little he does know
has at present a market value and
can be disposed Of for so much
coin of the realm. We all thought
that when Mr.. Bryan returned
from Mexico, where he had gone
to enlarge his views on the silver
question, he would at once give
the people the result Of his dednc-
tions on Mexicos systems Of
finance and political economy free
of cost. But not so. When
Bryan got back from the land Of
free silver and 25c wages for labor.
he was peculiarly close mouthed
for one who loves to talk as he
does, and the people wondered and
waited for the pearls Of wisdom To
cmanatc from him. He WAS only
holding them back for price, how
ever: which has now been paid by
the ''yellow' papers. We do not
blame Bryan for taking hold OF
his opportunities. but we cannot
help being filled with disgust to
see Il man who still aspires to the
honors and dignity of the presiden-
tial chair huchstering his notoric'>
for pecunlary gain.
