Serenaders have made some mistakes
rather embarrassing to themselves, in
Maine lately. In one instance they
rushed over to serenade q couple and
found only the young man who WASH :
married at all, although somebody had
reported that he was; and in another
case they thought they were sercnad-
ing a bridal couple who nad just come
to town, when later it transpired that
the pair had been married a year or
two.
There was startling array of Maine
tragedies in Monday mornings papers;
affray in Belfast harbor; man
stabbed in Bangor; n fatal premature
blast at Ninalhaven; and a collision OF
electrics at Thomaston with the motor
man badly hurt, made up the chief
features of the list.

The longer Minister Willis re-
NAMED in Honolulu and defied the
will of the majority the larger and
stronger that majority became. The
Church Party came over to a man.
Many English sympathizers OF the
queen lost their admiration and turned
their sympathies with the Provisional
Government, which, under the calm
guidance of Dole and Uncle Tom,
carefully refrained from any act of vio-
lence toward the queen or her party.
Business remained practically sus-
pended.
The peculiar attitdue Of the Ameri-
can minister kept us wondering
whether we would be blown ont of
existence by the warships in our har-
Dor or whether he would, after all his
bluff and bluster, finally leave us alone
to work out our own salvation, which
would be an easy matter, once we
could rid ourselves of his menacing
front.
One day he would seem to be on
friendly terms with Dole's government
and Americans would take heart
Then again would come a menace
that the queen would be restored by
force if necessary. Then our people
would look askance at the frowning
gun-boats under his command, and
their fears would be redoubled.
The true condition of things seemed
to be that Willis came to Honolulu
with a false impression OF the situa
ton and with instructions to perform
services that could not be performed.
If his instructions fell short of having
authority to use force against his own
countrymen in the interest of a rotten
throne, he sought TO make the omis-
sion impalpable to us and tried to give
us the impression that it needed but 3
word from him TO bring the iron from
the mouths of the big guns on his
warships into our very houses. But
his policy of intimidation did not
work. That is, it did not deter Dole
and the gallant men about him from
marching on in the strict perform
ance of their duty, true to themselves,
true to their own manhood, their
eonsciences and their fellow-men.
And Willis remained a stumbling
block in the way of progress, and
his policy a reproach to the United
States.
Gradually the circle of the malcon-
tents became smaller. Disorder did
not entirely cease, for the disorderly
element was against the Provisional
Government and sought to worry tho
Liberals by unlawful acts. But evil
doers were brought to punishment,
and, out OF the depths of chaos brought
by Willis. Dole aud his cabinet began

 The republican party is accused of plan ming to surrender to the banks the govern- mental functions of issuing paper money, and controlling its volume.

PORTO RlCAN BALLOT LAWS.
The Australian System Will Be Used in
 Municipal Elections.

Washington, September 2l.-The war de- partment has received copies of the gen eral order issued by Governor General Davis, of Porto Rico, prescribing the man ner in which municipal elections shall be held The Australian ballot will be used, and the qualifications of a voter arc that he must be a bona fide resident Of the municipality, twenty-one years of age, tax payer, or else be able to read and write. and a resident of the island for two years.
 The order referred in particular to the election at Adjuntas, but the regulations probably will be of general application. The first election at Adjuntas was de- clared void by the goyernor-general for the following reasons, as specliel in the Crder:
 Tt appears that during the noon cur on the day of the election he various be cards of supervisors adjournel for break fast, suspending the election fo a certain period of time, removing the ballot boxes fl om public view and carrying them to private houses and hotels, where the su pervisors were taking breakfas:."
 General Davis says that wnlie satisfied no corrupt practices were attempted, vet, in order to remove the least vestige of suspicion, a new election will be held.
