Next Friday evening, at the Academy

Hoyt has written and produced a score
or more of comedy successes. but claims
that the one that has made him the
most dollars and placed him more
prominently before the public as n sue
cessful author, is "a Stranger I'm New

ed here 1t has undergone many
changes and many improvements have
been made, and it is claimed by Mr..
Hoyts friends that in "a Stranger in
New YORK, as now constructed. this
popular playwright has never shown 4

makes the success of such a piece than
In this production. Its novel features,
ridiculously funny scenes and situation

M'hINLEN'S LAND ORDER

\ Late news from Washington makes
. it reasonably clear that the Presiden
was misled in the matter OF his Hawai-
ian Land proclamation and that he now
intends to modify it. if not in precise
terms, al least by the manner in
which it is construed. Advices from
various people now at the Capital or
lately there are 10 The effect that sales

with the outlook that he will 90 on

All this is reassuring and quite wha.

that the Executive may be led to annul

mediately after the passage of the An
course it could not be foreseen tina;
there would be trouble and we do not
in any way arraign the Government for
neglect. The point We make is that the
premature and undigested land order
justified the local authorities in send

well-informed Hawaiian citizen to

that the danger did not give warning
early enough to enable them to antici-
pate it by having a man on the ground

NO ADVANTAGE TAKEN.

One of the striking mistakes in the
Cullom letter is the charge that Ha
waiian merchants have rushed foreign
goods into the country under the ioca.
tariff so as to get a special advantage
over American jobbers when the
Dingley tariff takes effect. We are
assured that nothing of the kind has
been done. Imports have, it is true,
increased, but they are chiefly from tbs
United States and are due to the
growth of our population and OF our
commercial interests. Far from being
oyerstocked our merchants are subject
TO periodical famines. Were the charge
which Senator Cullom makes a valid
one it would come with bad grace from
him as the representative of a State
whose wealthy importers got in four
teen months supply of foreign manu-
featured articles between the time the
Dingley bill passed and the date upon
which it went into effect. In fact, so
general were importations during this
period that Mckinley prosperity did
not ensue for a year and half after
the election of 1896. 1t took that time
for American manufacturers to get
control of the home market. We do
not, however, make the tn quoque argu
ment. The plea is that what Senator
Cullom's wealthy constituents did
and on a vast scale, Hawaiian
importers have not done at all.
