THE OUTLOOK.

The Advertiser man reads the in
tercepted telegram which we pub
lished in our last issue and fear en-
tered his heart, and knowing the re-
liable sources of our information
from Washington the grim spectre
of a colonial government rose before
him and made him feel sick and
faint.

We may yet languish for another
year under the present nondescript
regime headed by Mr.. Dole. We
may, for months yet, tolerate the
spectacle OF supreme judges one day,
saying that they have jurisdiction in
all matters. and the next day that
they have not. But the end must
come some day, and it will bring to
us the fact that Hawaii is either a
"crown-colony" of the United States
or again an independent country
not under missionary oligarchy.

The conservative republicans wish
to stop the wild policy of Mckinley,
who more and more appears as a po-
litical charlatan, and who has such
q very firm grip on the big political
bear that he dares not let go. There
will come a revulsion OF sentiment
one of these days. There will come
condemnation of the jingo policy
and then perhaps there will come
retribution and restitution.

The laws which the annexation
clique did not wish to see in force
here will make their appearance be-
fore the present Congress adjourns.
Contract labor will become a thing
Of the past and the navigation immi

of the United States will be extend
ed to Hawaii. 1t is not very pleas
ant to contemplate such possibilities
as long as there is SO much money
to be made in false booms and stock
gambling. 1t would be blow to
Kihei stock, il it should be learned
in few weeks that no more coolies
can be brought here, and that to
handle the limited supply of brack-
ish water on the Kihei desert labor
ers will have to be employed, who
will demand from $25 to $50 a
month, and who will insist in being
treated as free men and not as dogs
or slaves.

BACKING UP.
Not, Perhaps, the Principal Part OF
the Art of Driving, Hut an
Important One.

Not all OF the drivers skill is devoted
TO driving ahead; il takes good driver
TO be able TO back up in good shape.
Not every driver, by any means, can halt
and then back up 10 a curbStone and hit
il square and true with both wheels the
first clip. That is something that re-
uuires more skill than might he imag-
ined by one who had never tried II.
But In backing up on the level, If a
man fails 10 hit the curb exactly the
first time, he can maneuyer until he
does. There are places where skill must
be exercised and where "A level head is
called for, too. For instance, in back
ing up, or rather, backing down, into
an excavation, on the inclined cause
way left for that purpose. The excava-
ton is begun AT the rear of the lot, and
the earth forming the causeway, run
ming up TO the level Of the street at the
front, is left until the last. In the later
stages OF the excayating the causeway is
left just wide enough at the top for the
carts or wagons TO move on, and its
sides slope down precipitously. The
driver who backs down on one of these
narrow cellar causeways simply must

DISHES OF LONDON INNS.
speciaIties of Eel Pies, Tripe Sup
pers, Green Turtle SOUP and
Oyster Patties.

IT is not many years since practically
every London tavern, with any preten-
sions at all, had its own special dish,
upon whose excellence it prided itself,
and to partake of which people often
Travelled considerable distances. Eel
pies. for instance, were once the great
feature Of ''duellists' breakfasts" served
at the old Sluioe house, near Finsbury
park; the necessary quantity of fish be-
ing regularly dredged up from the
stream that used TO run under the win
dows. The pies can still be had, but the
cells are now obtained from fish
monger who carries on business in an
adjoining thoroughfare.
Dating back 90 about the same period
are the oyster patties. for which Rules,
in Maiden lane, is still famous; while
not far away, in the Strand is Simp-
sons, noted for it's fish dinners. These
latter were quite an institution in days
gone by, and even now there are 10 be
found certain old-fashioned bon-vivants
who swear by them. The guest pays a
certain fixed sum and eats as much fish
of as many different varieties as he may
care for.
The Daniel Lambert has been cele-
brated for il stripe suppers from time
immemorial, and up till quite recent
ly brown stout, in tankards, used to be
the only correct accompanying bever-
age.
The Ship and Turtle, in Leadenhall
street, is noted for three things-its
turtle soup, its turbot, and its Madeira.
The first named is prepared after a
recipe which has been i'm the possession
of the hosts of the house for over a cen
fury. The only portions Of the fish
used, il appears. are the calipee. the
calipash and the fins. These are stewed
together for some time in a specially
prepared stock, and the result is a pc
culiar gelatinous green liquor, which
tastes of nothing in particular.
To this foundation is added, however,
atdifferent times and in varying proper
tions. allspice, marjoram, thyme, whole
pepper. salt, green basil, rue, flour, but

bottle of Madeira, the juice OF large

Both the Cock and the Rainbow pride

opposite side OF the street, and was Of
far less pretentious proportions.

SONS. IL is in February, and that in
the part of the world that Sum Sees
mother came from.
Therefore, when little Miss Sum See
was born they called her Almond Bios
som, with true Chinese symbolism.
The fact that she was born in Pell
street, New York city, was nothing
against her name. Only she never
would remind you of an almond bios
som. Rather Of a yellow crocus, or, say,
q black-eyed Susan.
When Sum Lee was eight years old
abe lost her mother, and they took
her away where Sum Lee could not fol-

Hip Sing how TO reach her.
"IIushl" said Hip Sing, bending over
his shoe mending, THAT is not for you

This sounded beneficent, but was un-
satisfactory from Typographical point
of view.

Sing, "but there sits He who knows"
Miss Sum had stayed late TO talk

looked at him refectively under her
threndlike brows.
"Yes?" she said, calmly.
Sum See folded her small, tea-colored
claws and leaned against the wall o;
the house. The two queues, braided
Enthusiastically with blue and white cord,
looked very funny, standing out from
her little round head in an inquiring
state of mind.

offering OF two very grimy little wooden

that See had brought her one day.
She climbed the dusty stairs labori-

main room of the joss house (Which is

undismayed TO consult the man who
presides there.
She found him in, seated upon his
