Sad Fate of the Disobedient Wood
ccck-Lucy jane of Glover Lane.
The shamming Fox.

Once upon a time family of little
brown birds lived in snug, happy
home In lovely wood. Their name
was Woodcock, and they were held in
much respect by their neighbors Papa
and Mamma Woodcock had brought up
their family well, their two daughters
Speckle and Russet, and their one
son, Jacky, being well educated at
home by governess called Miss Jack
daw.
Now, Speckle and Russell were a
credit to their teacher and their par
ents; but, sad to say, Jacky Woodcock
was both naughty and disobedient and
gave poor Miss Jackdaw a great deal
of trouble. One day Jacky had been
unusually naughty and refused to learn
the ''rudiments of boring" which, as
every one knows, are an important part
of woodcocks education, so he was
left at home to learn his lesson proper
ly. But no sooner was he alone than
Jacky threw his book into a corner
and hurried into coppice to play by
himself, a proceeding which was
strictly forbidden.
1t was glorious autumn day. The
sun was shining brightly, and Jacky
hoped along gayly, as if there was
not such thing in the world as the
''rudiments of boring" He didn't care
a bit. so long as he was out enjoying
himself. But there is always a sad
fate in store for little birds who don't
care" and are disobedient.
Jacky spread out his wings and rose
into the air. Suddenly cry rang out,
Mark Woodcockv' There was a sharp,
cracking sound, puff of blue smoke,
and there on the ground lay Jacky,
quite dead. That night he graced the
sportsman's dinner table. beautifully
cooked and laid on piece of toast.

THE Paris Exposition will pre-
sent an opportunity to combat
these theories as to the enterprise
and resource of the native in
habitants of Uncle Sans new
possessions. Exhibits showing
native workmanship in machine
made features should be shown.
Patterns of machinery obsolete
and new. Books, geographically
handled by natives, should be
presented. 1t is only fair and
just that the stigma should be
removed from the Hawaiians by
the nations who have assumed a
protectorate over them. The
Hawaiians never needed coercion
by fire and sword to force them to
enjoy the advantages of modern
thought. The desire and the
faculty, if dormant, were always
present.
AFALsE ALARM. The WEEKLY,
in publishing Assistant Secretary
Vanderlip's letter last Saturday,
was not attempting to spring an
alarm. 1t was a mere statement
of facts that had come into the
hands of this paper and of con-
siderable interest to the public.
1t is hard to think that Mr.. Van
derlip, after definitely debating
Honolulu both at the heading and
in the body of the letter, should
confound Honolulu with Porto
Rico or some other place. and
despite the opinion of Colonel
Ruhlen and others in the Star
Documentary evidence from
Washington is at the present
standing primary evidence.
THERE are statements in the San
Francisco papers that counterfeiting
is being largely practised in the
Philippines and Hawaii. Branches
of the United States Secret Service
are to be established here in that
respect. The counterfeiting is news
to most of US.
Austin's Hawaiian weekly. [volume] (Honolulu [Hawaii]) 1899-190?, 1899-10-21

IT is doubtful policy on the
part of the morning paper to,
after the City of Para has left,
vituperate the officers who control
its military assignment. There
are always two sides to a ques-
ton and developments have great
ly reduced Dunwell's side of the
case. 1t is not policy of Hawaii
to write leading articles two col
umns long against the prestige of
the American army. That the
officer was not the example to
his men in striking Dunwell "va
sans dire" the act was not that
Of an officer and a gentleman,
but he was reprimanded by his
leading officer who has full au-
thority by the laws of the Amer
lean government to enquire into
and adjust his case. There is on
reason to doubt the intention of
the commanding officer to deal
properly with the matter.
THE WEEKLY is not for a moment
attempting to defend the actions of
the troops in Honolulu. 1t is diff
cult of course, for the officers to con-
troll men who have only been under
their charge few weeks. Still
more complicated is the situation
when officers themselves lead the
example.
AS regards the roaming of soldiers
on ga tear" about the city, the haul
ing in of the offenders by our own
police is inevitable. You cannot wait
for police detail from the transport
when Chinaman is maltreated, a
Japanese robbed, or the Home Bak
cry relieved of its cutlery.
The Colonel in command on the
City of Para, as before said, will
doubtless deal with his offending
subordinate, still the action of resist
ing the police and refusing an inter
view is palpably in the wrong.
Honolulu has had call sorts and
conditions " of soldiers. The best
the most orderly have been those
who have won their spurs, the vete-
rams of Cuba. Their walk and &C.
tons showed, that they had earned
their right to nations pride that
they would net lightly throw away
but we are at the mercy of whatever
riff raft from the East may pass
through here,

yellow journalism is not calculated
to solve the problem, or stand US
higher in the estimation of either the
War Department, or the other Pow
ers at Washington.
THE hackdrivers of Honolulu,
not citing Dunwell necessarily as
a case in point, are at times more
familiar and sometimes imperti-
nent than their position warrants.
This is due doubtless greatly to
the fact that many of the parties
they drive, meaning those from
our own town, exercise familiar
ity towards them.
Our " Scissors and Paste"
contemporary discovers a rumor
anent the displacement of Presi-
dent Dole. We editorially, says
the Tiser" heard it yesterday,
but are informed that others
heard it days ago. The morning
journal then promptly interviews
the only people who would natur-
ally be under obligations, diplo-
matte and otherwise, to deny the
report, and triumphantly reports
that there is no truth in the
rumor. Whether there is or not
this is somewhat peculiar journ-
alism.
THE WEEKLY takes pride unto
itself on the present number. We
haven't applauded ourselves very
much on our new volume, but,
now that the etching plant has
settled down to working order,
we feel self-congratulary about
the work turned out, especially
the front page which, drawing,
border, half-tone engraving and
all, is turned out by our own
company and printed on our own
presses.
THE Orpheum keeps up a good
record, but the Opera House has
drawn only fair houses while
Herr Friedenthal's recitals have
not met the enthusiasm they
merit. Space prevents a lengthy
notice of Herr Prudential in the
regular column, but the visit OF
that gentleman has been verita.
BILE treat for the musical commun.
ity here. His technique is bril-.
liant, his poetry in Interpretation

derful repertoire add to the at
fractions of his recitals.

ASIDE from policy all the papers
of Honolulu seen to unite in choos-
ing Hassinger for the vacant Office Of
Minister of the Interior. 1t is re.
freshing to see the editorial pages of
Independent and 'Tiser agreeing on
one man for office.
Now that the great value of Ha.
wall as base of supplies has been
so permanently established, we may
reasonably expect the Government to
go ahead with their contemplated
works early next year, or soon in the
next century. The Kalihi and Ho-
nolulu harbors will be made one and
ships no longer lie in the stream
awaiting wharfage room.
A RECENT body of tourists en-
route to Australia commented in
no small terms of surprise upon
the position assumed by the ma
tives. One of the party, Ger
man of education and consider
able prominence in the Father
land, vented his establishment as
follows cit is matter of
wonderment to me. In Europe
we imagine, having had no direct
evidence to the contrary, that
the Hawaiian natives are as the
Maoris and members of the Poly
nesian group, merely savages, to
whom civilization has brought the
curses instead of the material
benefits with which native nature,
as rule, does not assimulate. l
find, to my establishment, in your
press-rooms, your machine shops,
natives as foremen of various de-
partments. l find them skilled
mechanics, astute lawyers and
acute business men. AS sailors
and boatmen, / am told they are
unexcelled. 1t is a complete sur
prise to me and, believe me, will
be to the Eastern world at large.
1t seems almost incalculable to
those living here that such an
opinion is really the fixed opinion
of the bulk of the civilized world
We pass as a joke the saying
cob! they think we are all saw
ages here!" but there remains
Individually the fact that people
think that to large degree.
IT is within the grounds of pro
liability that Hawaii is holding
its customs and closing its pocket
books until the arrival of the
Opera company, but it seems a
if the interest of things dramatic
are at ebb tide in Honolulu.

H LAST HOURS.
Today Winds Up The Session

The two branches Of the Legislature
met yesterday at an early hour, and it
was first thought that all the work
could be finished by night, but it seems
that it will take till moor today to close
the session.
The Assembly convened at nine
o'clock and a lively struggle was looked
for in relation to the four per cent bill,
but it failed to materialiZe. A number
of minor measures were passed or re-
ceived their quietus.
The fun began in the afternoon and
the first test of strength come when
Van Etten introduced a resolution
that all bills not on the file be indeh-
nitely postponed" The resolution re-
celved a second and after considerable
debate the roll was called with the
following results:
This was intended to defeat the four
per cont bill, which is dead.

The bill simply laid the proposition
before the people Of Ormsby County
whether they should vote or the mat
ter of owning their own water
system and electric lights.
Upon the bill being taken from the
committee, where it had been reported
favorable, Mr.. MCGOWAN offered an
amendment submitting the question
of the disincOrporation Of the city. He
afterwards recalled the amendment and
the bill then came up for third reating
for final passage and upon the motion
of Mr.. Spindle, from Storey county
the bill was laid upon the table, and
will in all probability remain there
until the session is closed.
Upon the question OF laying the
motion upon the table MesSrs, Van
Ftten. Kirmau, and McGowan voted
against it, but the ''yea> having Il

This showed the respective strength Of
the two sides on the measure. The bill
for the time being was dead, but dead
things have crawled before, and it will
not be the fault OF the "lively crickets"
if it don't show considerable life again.

by rank outsiders.
The sheep faction had Il kink taken out
of its wool in the next round, as Flani-
gan's concurrent resolution to turn Ma
ti0nal parks into sheep pasture was i'll
definitely postponed. 1t was a shame as
the Government and people should not
have any rights in these broad domains.
where there is profitable sheep to be pas
tured, tally one for the people.
Next the State was punched out fol-
about $4,000. AS Comin's bill calling fol-

things taking a very live turn

the tires Off of ita:ice's bin. It pro-
vided for the reputation of tires to be
used on work wagons. but as the Sena-

There is a good deal of anxiety
among Cherokee citizens at the
possibility of the defeat OF the
Cherokee treaty. Those who are
opposed to the ratification of the
treaty base their hopes of its ulti.
mate defeat by keeping it back till
the present congress expires by
Limitation on the 4th of March.
The committees of the two houses
will meet tomorrow and discuss
the measure and doubtless report
it with recommendations to the
house and senate. An effort, we
understand, is to be made to get
the treaty tackled onto the Indian
appropriation bill and to secure
its passage in that way. The
proposition is to withhold the en-
actment of the appropriation bill
till late in the session and in the
closing hours of congress to pass
Il with the treaty. 1t is to be
hoped, however, that conditions
are more favorable and that the
treaty will be taken up and passed
on its merits and that it will not
have to take the chances Of being
ruled ont on point Of order.
