a Fine Turnout.

Tt is pleasure that in spite of
the epidemic here the brewers of
the Rainier Beer have not forgotten
Honolulu. Loveioy q Co., the
agents of the popular beverage are
no longer delivering their goods by
cheap express wagons.
When you order Seattle beer now
one of the managers Of Loveioy g.
Co. presses the button and hand

in SNOWY harness and attached to
a roomy and natty express wago on,
appear and calls for orders.

Swell the Surplus.

A number of Chinese we're charg-
ed in the District Court with receiv-
ing stolen goods. The men pleaded
guilty and it was shown that young
children we're in habit of stealing
bottles OF samshoo from the wharves
and selling them at the price of 45
OTIS. bottle to the Chinese.
Judge Wilcox gave the Chinese a
good lecture saying that their con-
duct could only encourage small
boys to continue their criminal &C
'tions and each of the defendants
was fined $40 besides paying costs
and promising to pay the owners of
the stuff the full value of the stolen
goods. The Judge added that 1T
was his duty to swell the surplus.

The M Dana Departs.

The Moana arrived off the harbor
about half past eight this morning,
but when Captain Carey learned
from the pilot boat the condition of
affairs he politely said "good- bye;
Pm off for San Fraucisco;" and off
he went as rapidly as his heels
could take him. He, it will be re-
membered, adopted identically the
same policy during The cholera scare.

MoDpER RIVER, Dec. 22-The
Beers trenches were ascertained by
our mounted men to-day to extend
for twelve miles in all, connecting
the two horns of the river in the
form of crescent. Our camp lies
midway between the two horns. The
Beers have prepared against our ad-
vance in every direction. 1t may be
true that they numbered 10000, or
three times our strength, at Mayer
sfontein. The enemy has fred shells
into our camp for two or three days,
but their guns do not carry far
enough to do damage. There is
little fear that the Beers will attack
us in the open veldt. Though
there are few cases of enterio fever
and dysentery, the British camp is
the healthiest in the world.
The Call figures up the British
losses to December 18th as follows;
killed 566; wounded, 2.027 and miss
ing 1877. This means 1870 rank

The Minister of Finance desires to

A Question Of Sympathy.

The pretended sympathy of Russia for
the Beers is a good deal like the SYM
pathy Of the Democrats in this country
for Aguinaldo and the Filipinos To
fancy that the absolutism OF Russia
should have any real feeling Of SYM
pathy for a nominal republic engaged
in a conflict with its monarchical suzer-
ain power is to suppose that that coun-
try has abandoned all Of Its traditions.
II the sympathy were an actual. exist
ing fact, It would be the most startling
phenomenon witnessed in the domain OF
international politics. However. the
Russian attitude, of course, deceives no

of the earth without the fact exciting
the faintest public interest I'm Russia.
had they happened to be in conflict with
any other nation than Great Britain.
Soon or late. in the natural order Of
events, II seems that Great Britain and
Russia will be in actual armed conflict.
Everything that injuries Great Britain
naturally has the sympathy Of Russia.
The Boer war may create Russia's op-
portunity in Asia. The Beers are. to a
certain extent, allies OF Russia. Hence
the alleged sympathy with their strug-
gle.
How like this is to the Democratic
attitude towards the Fflipinos. Natur-
ally the Democratic leaders have as lit
tie real sympathy for the Fflipinos as
they have for the negroes struggling
for their political rights in the states
which furnish the bulk of the Demo-
cratic vote. The Ffiipinos are to the
Democratic leaders no more than any
other ''nisgers," as they would style
them But the Fiiipinos are in arms
against the government of the United
states. That government is at present
being conducted by the Republican
party. Anything which Injuries the gov

received the thanks OF all our people?
The reported outbreak OF Capt. Chad
wick on this subject is most ill-advised
and unfortunate. Nobody is aware Of
any attempt on the part of Schley's
friends to ''exalt'' him unduly No at
tack has been made by them upon the
friends or the reputation of Sampson.
In fact the whole wretched business has
been permitted to slumber since the poll
ticians gave over their endeavor to use
1t for party purposes. We could under
stand IT IL Sulzer or some dema gogue
Of his stamp were to reopen the quarrel
as the campaign approaches. That any
naval oficer should attempt to do so
is sufficiently discreditable to bring
upon him sharp reprimand from his
superiors.
What has been accomplished by this
pitiful squabbie in the past? Has II re-
fiected credit upon Sampson or schley
or the navy or the nation? The princi-
pal net result was to defeat and render
impossible the promotions for gallant
conduct which, but for IT. would have
been made long ago. Many of the he
roes Of the war with Spain have been
deprived Of honor and prestige. and the
whole navy has suffered from the un-
dignified action of the partisans of these
two men. The country honors and be-
lieves in them both. but IL has shown,
by its contemptuous ignoring OF Ad-
miral Dewey's candidacy. that no mans
record viii save him IL he assumes too
much or trespasses too far upon its pa
thence. Were II possible. the navy de-
partment would do well to announce a
court-martial for any man who raises
publicly hereafter the question Of the
comparative merits Of sampson and
Schley. Let us not be compelled to
take another hero from his pedestal, or
stamp q brave defender Of his country
with the ignoble brand Of jealousy and
self-seeking.

Water Front Improvement.

The extensive improvements planned
by the Northern Pacific win transform
the whole face of the Seattle water
front Within the next five months 1--WE
great wharves will be constructed, to
take the place OF the old ones that are
no longer either adequate to the de-
mands of business upon them or TO the
place and dignity of the city as q port
of commerce. The effect of these changes
upon the aspect OF the city will be very
great.
Whether viewed from land or water.
the shore line OF the business district
will present a metropolitan air. APP
preaching from the Sound, the visitor
will see a solid front OF magnificent
docks. with slips between, the wharf
houses for the storage Of freight con-
stsntly arriving and departing. Look
ing from the shore the eye win no longer
be vexed by the aggregation OF shacks
and shanties that at present constitute
a sort of marine Midway plaisance, but
win rest upon huge buildings destined
for commercial purposes, with long
trains OF vehicles passing TO and fro for
the accommodation Of local commerce.
The benefit 70 our traffic will be very
great. The local business OF the water
front Is multiplying rapidly and Is des-
tined to increase in the same proportion.
IL is good business enterprise 10 take
care Of Il, and IL Is also gratifying to
our people that these improvements are
to be made upon a scale commensurate
with our needs and our business emil
nence. The regeneration OF the water
front is a welcome ard ausploious sign
OF the new era. and the immediate COM
pletion OF the work win be appreciated
heartily by our people.

The reasons advanced by the Post
country neither could nor should take
action aimed especially at Japan to for
bid immigration are confirmed and en-
forced by the announcement that the
Japanese government itself will take up
the matter in its own interest and for
the protection OF its subjects. Japan
is not to be classed with China, It IL
one OF the most alert and progressive
of the nations. The last thing that il
desires is to lose its citizens. 1t needs
every man OF them for internal Develop
ment and also for the possible conflict
with Russia that 1t sees impending. 1t
Is also too proud to tolerate the repu-
tation Of inundating protesting coun-
tries with unwelcome immigrants.
The facts In the case appear to be
that such emigration from Japan as has
taken place is caused by exactly the
same sort OF work that has dumped
upon our Atlantic coast hundreds Of
thousands OF people who ought never
TO have been allowed to land. 1t 10 the
local emigration agents who are to
blame. There is big money in ferryiny
across the ocean a lot of steerage pass
ensers. Their carriage and maintenance
costs practically nothing above the OPP
Grating expenses of the ship. Even at
the low rates charged. they form most
profitable cargo.
For years the agents Of the Atlantic
steamship companies have drummed up
business in every slum In Europe. They
have gone to these ignorant people and
Allied them with fairy tales. Not the
sands OF Cape Nome. although they
were OF solid gold. could draw men as
strongly as the America which has been
set before these credulous people. They
were told that there was work waiting
for every man the instant that he ar
rived, at a wage so far above every
him like immediate wealth. Under
these representations he procured, no
matter how. the sum necessary to pay
for his passage: and that was ali that
the steamship agent was concerned
with. He then passed on 10 the next
victim.
The same practice, II appears. has
been introduced in japan. Great emf
grafton societies have been organized
there. whose purpose Il was 10 deiude
