FRIDAY. MARCH Is, 1901.
SADLY MIXED.

Our legislators are sadly mixed,
and although we always uphold the
Hawaiians, we feel more and more
that a faculty should be established
to teach them how to be Americans,
as they proudly claim they are.
Who ever heard about clerk in
Legislature being called to the
Chsir, while the honorable gentle
man occupying that high position
spoke from the foori Aud yet yes
terdsy that occurred in the House
OF Representatives when Makekau,
the temporary chairman, called the
Secretary Of the House, Solomon
Meheula, to the chair, while he was
spouting from the floor. Meheula
has no more business to taking an
active part in the proceedings OF the
legislators, as any uitlander has. II
Meheuls can occupy the chair, why
can not that honorable position be
filed by the sergeaut-at-arms, the
messenger, janitor or spittoou clean
or. The idea OF having an elected
body presided over by man, who
was not elected and is unrecognizsd
by the voters is preposterous. To
day another incident occurred which
showed what good Americans We
are and the ignpranss of the leRis
lators. An English admiral who
happens to bs calling with hia f,g-
ship at this port, visited governor
Dole, the head OF the Executive
branch OF the government, this
morning. His official advent had
been announced in the proper man
ner, but what the Legislature lad
to do with his call on the Executive
is a myatery to US. The band was
of course stationed in the palace
grounds, and when the gallant ad.
miral arrived it struck up "God save
the King" As soon as Speaker
Akins heard the well-known sound
he got on his feet and moved that
the members should stand up, while
the baud was playing the British
anthem, and the admiral passed
through the hall to the Of.
flee OF the head OF the Executive
branch of the territorial govern.
ment. We mention the incident,
because it is so extremely unique to
imagine an American legislative
body arising while the British an.
them is being played upon the ar
rival OF British Admiral at the
Executive building. Later on Rep
rssentative Beckley asked the
Speaker whether the House should
be standing il Yankee Doodle or
any other patriotic tune should be
played in the grounds OF the ESecu.
tipe building, and the answer is yet
awaited with anxiety. The whole
Legislature is evidently not go
musical as Mr.. Akina seems to be,
because on Wednesday afternoon
the regular weekly band concert at
the Executive building was stopped
by order OF the Senate, probably
because the music woke up the
President Of that august body.
That was another Instance where
the Legislature got sadly mixed as
to its power and right and laid it.

TOPICS OF THE DAY.

We are pleased to see that
Aylett's bill to repeal certain Sec
tions OF the Sunday law was referred
to On intelligent committee yestev-
day iu the House, on the motion OF
Mr.. Robertson. The bill may be
too sweeping - IL stands, but we
think the committee will make q
substitute bill, which will eliminate
the obnoxious features from the
present Sunday law. Several OF the
orators spoke eloquently about the
Hawsiians being Americans and

our merchants aud the people at
large wish Honolulu to become q

should such matters not be left to

ments, which we hope will be es.

laws are obsolete and ridiculous

"Blind Tom" Still AliYe.
He Can Still Play Three Airs at

Springfield Republican.


"Blind Tom" the negro pianist,
who has SO dropped out of hear
ing that many have supposed him
dead, has now reappeal ed in con
cert. Tom is now SO years old,
and is still mentally the child he
was when his extraordinary lmi-
tative faculty was first manifested.
Since 1882 he has been under the
the most punctilious care, in asy-
lums and sanitariums, ant his GUS
tody has neen shuttlecOck be-
tween one and another attorney.
The present guardian is Albert
Lerche. Of course Blind Ton is u
musical freak. but he is quite
different from freaks that are
made SO, for his gift is something
born with him, and apparently it
continues despite his long sick
ness. He can still play three airs
at once, play second to any per-
former, play with his back to the
piano, and repeat any new tunes
that is sung, whistled or played
to him. "Blind Tom remaius a
riddle, with no fellow. His "origi-
nal' comp lsitions are of no value,
but his reproduction of notable
works a. a moments hearing is
marvellous. To see this lolling no
gro, with closed eyes and heavy
jaws, delight himself In music he
produces, is to witnoss one of the
puzzles of human life.
