The Orpheum.

Despite Our reputation we critics are now and
then delighted when we can truly and cordially
praise. There are all sorts of nice things to be
said this week about the Orpheum and am most
happy to say them The program calls for the
highest enconiums for the management They
have spared no expense or pains to furnish first
class entertainment and they have done it, The
luxury of the present array of talent is almost
prodigal from money-bag point of view, but
think the management is justified in launching
out. 1t remains for Honolulu to show that they
fully appreciate such an effort to please. The

"HUMANITY."

"HUMANITY''-the word implies
a vast amount of misery:
OF woe and sorrow, fear and strife:
OF beggar's cries and poverty.
or millionaires in mansions grand:
OF men in novels bare and cold;
OF servants going at command,
OF lords and ladies dec1ed with gold:
For wealth and want 60 side by side,
While veal and woe together dwell.
And children's needs are oft denied.
For bread fair women virtue sell.
The rich with boarded heaps of gold,
Look on the poor with cold disdain.
Nor help protect them from the cold,
Nor heed the sharpcst hunger pain.
Yet in the face of all these facts,
fondly love humanity:
plainly see what most it lacks.
And know how different it might be.
Let all who watch and wish as 1,
Unite in effort molly grand
TO lift the curse come let us try
TO beautify with love our land.
The move already has begun,
So do not sit ye idly by
BE up and doing every one;
Success may be so very nigh;
For while rich men sip and feast.
And reyel in their midnight lust,

THINKS IT A CASE OF "swIPING."

Inotice that the "New Time. has
been absorbed by the resuscitated
Arena" So far as can learn the
minority stockholders in The New
Time had no notice. whatever Of the
transaction, either before or after the
event. 1t seems to have been about
as cool a sWindle and outrage upon
them as any plutocraticc combine could
have wished. can't sec' anything in
it but COmtenpible piece of yilliany
upon the par OF the managers Of the
''NeW Time, and the owner of the
Arena seems to be particeps criininis
in the foul Job Of course the whole
thing was illegal for all stockholders
have a right to due notice in snch
transactions and a right to a say in
the matter, otherwise the transaction
is Illegal. The managers probably
wanted to save themselves, and did
SO at the expense of the minority
stockholders in the most approved
modern fashion. They seemed to
think the minority stockholders would
pocket the outrage, but | think these
stockholders ought to register a kick
against the scheme that would make
the perpetrators feel lame for many q
day.
Judging OF the way the matter has
been handled, it looks nightly asifWe
had been sold out to plutocracy in
this lob. The subscribers to the "NeW
Time, to whom there may have been
due anywhere from 1Ocents to scots,
are carefully taken care of but stock
holders who may have $40, 500 $50
or more invested with the concern,
are cody "swiped' of their invest
ments without as much as a word of
explanation The Arena has al
ready failed twice when it was really

from it's cheap John get up, the absurd
Slush of it's contents generally and the
ridiculously high price at which it's

ly being published for what there is
in it, for the owner and it ought TO
fail again. The "New Time was far
ahead of it i'll every respect, and was
a real reform journal as long as it
lasted.
hope YOU will publish this, for it is
by Just such villiany that reform is be-
ing hampered. Reform papers are al
ways complaining that they are not
properly supported but such things
as this are accountable for a large a.
mount of the indifference from which
they suffer, and unless they faithfully
expose the frauds perpetrated in the
name of reform, they cannot expect
to retain the confidence of honest re-
formers.
