OF CURRENT INTEREST.
Costly Eating Places.

Restaurants on the Paris Exposition
grounds are believed to be entitled to q
place at the head of the procession in
the matter of expensive meals. The
cost of moderate unpertentious dinner
for four persons at one of them aver
ages from 100 to $50 francs, or from $40
to $50. 1t is related that when Baron
Edmond de Rothschild entertained
some friends at one of them recently
the bill was so large, even for his long
purse, that he refused to pay it, and
signified his intention of depositing the
sum with the police and compelling the
restaurateur to sue for it. The result
of his protest was that 80 per cent was
deducted from the total. which was
something large then. On the other
hand, James Gordon Bennett was din
ing the same evening at the same res
taurant with four or five friends, and
when bill of 800 francs was presented
to him he paid it without a murmur.
he rather enjoyed being imposed upon
in such a magnificent manner.

UNITED WE STAND.

The nomination of so popular and
capable a man as Paul 1senberg, Jr-,
for Delegate in Congress would, under
ordinary circumstances, command
widespread support independently of
his politics. But the circumstances, 1t
is but Just to say, are far from ordin-
ary. We have a dire need, if Wilcox
IS to be defeated, to rally all the con-
servative white elements and as many
Of the natives as possible to one STAN
dard to the end that the prosperity of
the Islands may be preserved. These
votes must be concentrated on Single
man who can get the support Of both
sides; they cannot be divided between
two men without giving Wilcox a ma
iority over all. With one union candi-
date there is a fighting chance; with
the Good Government ballots scattered,
there can be no chance at all.
AS Paul Isenberg's candidacy would
subtract from the strength of Samuel
Parker without sending him to Con-
gress instead, and as a union of Demo-
Gratis and Republicans on Parker might
pull the latter through, it seems incum-
bent on Isenberg as a good citizen to
retire in Parker's favor. 1t may be
asked, on the other hand, why not
have Parker retire in 1senberg's favor?
The reason is that, of the two, Parker
can draw the most strength from the
native majority without losing any OF
the white strength that Isenberg COM
mands. In this canvass he is the best
vote-getter of the two. Hence Parker
should have the chance to poll the
whole anti-Wilcox vote. Were Isen-
berg the more available man we should
as cordially advise his Endorsement.
Party fealty is a small thing here to
culated to save Hawaiis credit from
the ruin that would come to it from an
anti-haole representation.
The Advertiser would like to see the
Republicans and Democrats come to-
gether for this once, supporting Parker
for Congress and a mixed Legislative
ticket that can be depended on. if elect
ed, to frame careful policies. There
may be those who had rather go to
defeat with party colors flying than To
victory under the fusion flag but they
are not among the people whose con-
Germ for the welfare of Hawaii is most
vital. Politicians of a certain class
take defeat serenely because ii has
made them eligible for Washington ap-
pointments but these are not the coun-
selors Hawaii needs at this crisis. The
great thing is not to make the Legis-
lature Republican or Democrat but to
make it safe: to have a Delegate in
Congress who realizes that Hawaii be-
longs to the American Union and must,
to succeed, fall into American ways
and not cultivate an anti-haole policy
that must ruin the commercial ana
other material interests of our citizens.

fHE LABOR QUESTION.

~ rs not going TO be an easy task to
get the right kind of negro laborers
from the South TO take the place of
japanese in the Hawaiian cane fields.
The rural negroes who are the only
Kind wanted. are suspicious to a de-
gree and their white employers, If they
Thought there was much danger of an
exodus, are capable of filing their
credulous minds with absurd fears
about their treatment here. Last fall
the Louisiana Planter had an article
about Slavery in Hawaii wherein the
luna with his whip" a veritable Lee
gree. was shown in the act of scourg-
Ing the helpless japanese. Such yarns
would be rife in the South the moment
a Hawaiian propaganda began work
there and emigration would be checked
as promptly as IL was in the days OF
the Kansas "exoduster." The Southern
planter knows too we'll the value of his
stay-at-home cheap labor to part with
any OF II, especially TO help out rival
sugar-producing section.
The Advertiser can see no way to
settle the labor question except by in
teresting white farmers in some CO.
operative plan. Thousands of young
American field hands would like to
come to the Paradise of the Pacific and
they could stand the climate here
while doing manual labor as we'll as
such men stand the hotter climate Of
Luzon while chasing bandits through
the swamps. They enlist as soldiers
for sl3 per month; might they not jump
at the chance to harvest cane for $40?
1t seems to us that, as $4,000 men now
in the Philippine army must be dis
banded before the 1st of July next that
an agent Of our planters might, by go
ing to Manila, engage large number
for field work. Under the law the Gov
ernment must return them to the
places Of their enlistment; but as we
understand the matter IL they stop en-

The Governors Council about which
so much nonsense is being written
consists of the heads of departments
who meet simply TO give the Governor
the benefit of their advice. The body is
neither recognized nor prohibited by
law. but on the whole is a good thing.
The papers that criticise it would not
have a word to say If the Governor had
organized a council of machine bosses.
That is what they wanted him to do
and his unwillingness to so degrade his
office sufficiently accounts for the deli
rum the phrase Governors Council
excites.

company. But all the white men are

A strange malady is going the rounds

Constitution. 1t is some kind of a
germ which is attacking the ear drum
Of the people, causing risings and alb
cesses, which prove very painful and
troublesome. In Birmingham many
people have been attacked by this NAL
ady and much suffering has been heard
Of Gov. Joseph F. Johnston has been

ing the past week with trouble in his
ears and physicians had to attend him.
Mr.. John w. O'Neill, the popular pres
ident of the Birmingham board Of
trade, is now suffering agonies with the
pain in both ears. There are many
other people troubled in the same way.
The germ seems to come with the least
warning and the pain that follows can
only be allayed a little until the rising
either bursts on its own accord or al
operation has been performed, when
the pain ceases and the patient recov-
ers. So far the disease has not proven
fatal, though it has given the people
whom it has attacked considerable
pain.

THEY CATCH FROGS.
Industry of Considerable Importance on
the Shores OF Oneida Lake.

the Shores OF Oneida Lake.
Among class of people residing
along the shores of Oneida lake in the
vicinity of Upper South bay the in
dustry of hunting frogs is surpassed in
Importance only by that OF fishing.
Frogs legs and fish go together in
making up an appetizing meal at many
OF the Oneida lake summer hotels, and
killing frogs and catching fish are kin
dred pursuits. In this manner a score
OF Oneida lake longshoremen make a
livelihood. The frog business, how
ever, Is comparatively new. During a
greater part Of the season frogs are
found in marshy places along the lake
shore. frog hunter sometimes uses
a spear, but more often a long, stout
club. The club has fiat end, and one
well directed blow will add another
frog % the collection in the hunters
basket. During the summer months
frogs are found on high ground, hav-
ing migrated from the boys bordering
the lake. Hay fields are a favorite
abiding place for them in summer, and
it is no unusual sight to see q frog
hunter following a moving machine
and aiming blows at frogs that arc
exposed to view as the grass falls. In
the southeastern part of the state
there are inclosed frog farms with ar
tificial ponds. Here frogs are raised
for the New York city market. While
central New York cannot yet boast Of
a real frog farm, an Oneida lake man
is proprietor of something closely re-
sembling such an institution. The
Oneida lake man has large yard or
his premises inclosed by tight board
fence. In the yard are thousands of
fine looking frogs. They were picked
up along the lake shore last spring be-
fore they had awakened from a stupor
brought on by few days of cold
weather. The owner of this collection
of frogs is able to fill orders from no.
tel proprietors for fresh frogs legs
promptly. By going into the yard with
a lantern at night as many frogs as
are required may easily be picked up
by hand, providing the collector is
careful to make no noise. Frogs legs,
after being dressed. are left on ice
for a day or more to make them good
for eating. Twenty or twenty-five
cents a pound is the price usually paid
by Oneida lake hotel proprietors.
