1t is gratifying to learn from Senator
Baldwin that the planters viii stop the
importation of negroes without fami-
lies The practice Is dangerous one
in any event; but it has been rendered
doubly so by the quality of the male
negroes from whom selections were
made. The very riffraff of Southern
city was included in the first party;
the second one was somewhat more
tolerable; while the third, judging from
the exhibition made on the streets yes
terday by field hands and preacher
alike, is made up of men who will be a
menace to whites and natives both.
Various crimes have already been COM
mitted by the first lot and we need not
be surprised If some of the worst Of
lenses against society should follow.
By bringing in family negroes the dan
ger will be minimized, though it is a
pity, as the Advertiser has often point
4 ed out, that any necessity is thought to
exist for bringing in negroes at all.

The Hawaiians in the House did
their race an injury when they voted
to. indefinitely postpone the bill regu-
lating the size of the mesh of fish nets.
The bill, which, we believe, was orig
inaIy conceived by Allan Herbert, one
of the warmest friends of the Hawaiian
people among the white residents of
these Islands, was intended to stop the
ruthless destruction-by Japanese and
Chinese. principally-of the sea-min-
nows upon which the native supply of
larger fish depend. If the small fish
are raided for a while longer, fish of
larger size will disappear from the Ha-
waiian bill of fare. These fingerlings
have natural enemies that keep their
numbers down. Add to these active
foes the small-mesh nets of the Asiatic
fishermen and the destruction of our
principal sea food supply cannot be long
delayed. In view of the unfortunate
attitude of the Legislature the United
states Food Commission must be ap-
pealed to. 1t would seem that, If the
Federal Government controls our har-
oors and sea line, 1t could interfere to
save the fish. We do not feel perfect
assurance on that point, but the re-
course is worth looking I'D.

Mr.. Spreekels is not alone among
those who have a sentimental regret
for the passing of old Honolulu. The
quiet, beautiful place, comfortable and
languid, where luxury was hospitable
and poverty almost unknown, where
the benefits of progress were enjoyed
without the din and where tropical
dooryards had not been invaded by
shacks, stores or box cottages; a place
where the natives did not want for poi
and fish and where white people min
gled with them on terms of cordial fell
lowship-ah, that was a Honolulu to
soothe the soul. But it could not stay
and it will never return.

There was more folly in the House
yesterday over the Governors official

insist that he shall sign his title after
his name, although President Mckinley
does not do SO in his messages to Con-

individual preference and taste. There
is no law for or against. By raising is

tan communities, to a begSarly array
of empty benches. Why? Because the
art" of preaching or the histrionic
capacity to preach with magnetism, or
the genius of making themselves in
teresting to an audience is absent. If
it is true that such defects make a
minister unsuccessful before Christian
congregations how about an actor? II
he couldn't act would he be acceptable
because he was a Christian? And how
many men are both Christians and
actors?
There being no Christian actors and
actresses available, how are they to be
had in future? Mr.. Sheldon does not
say, but he thinks they might be train
eu. They would have to have a long
drill under worldly artists and much
practical experience on the stage as it
is before they could hope to fill difficult
parts. After such an education and eX-
perience would they still be Christians?
Furthermore, would young Christian
men and women enter the theatrical
life with its coarse associations and
coarser plays, in any event? They
could not pick and choose. If they
joined a theatrical company they would
nave W ODty the ildndSSi VI get Jul.
Is it likely that any of them would ac-
Icept the risks? Theory would not teach
them. They would have to go into the
business.
Judged impartially. the Sheldon
scheme for providing Christian actors
seems as visionary as was his more
famous scheme for conducting dis
ttinctively Christian daily newspaper.
Nevertheless the chief end, that of es-
itablishing theaters where none but good
plays are to be presented, may be easily
reached. If the hundreds of thousands
of church-geers who never enter the
alter would unite to encourage any play
that teaches a:moral lesson, or presents
an instructive historical; picture, or
stands for. what Is. noblestt and. most
majestic in dramatic art, the theatrical
managers. would do their best to, meet
/ the new demand and the whole strue-
ture of the stage would thereby be lift
ed, 1t need not matter whether the
+actoE goes to church or not. That is a
service one does not ask of his DOCTOR
or lawyer or druggist, or butcher, and
swhy of ones actor? He does not need
"a Christian faith to enable him to rep
resent Christian character any more
than he needs a Villains experience to
enable him to take villains role He

Pearls Becoming Scarce.

pearls they are making safe investment
row of pearls that was worth 10000 francs
10 years ago is today worth three or four
times as much, as very soon it will be worth
even more.
F"Pearis, however, must be really beautiful
and faultless in order to fetch high price.
Unsymmetrical pearls are bought only when
the ornaments in which they are to be placed
are of surprising beauty. A perfect pearl,
on the other hand, does not need to have its
beauty enhanced by gold or diamonds; in
deed it will be injured if placed too close to
metal or to diamonds. of all pearls the
white are the most attractive, and the only
reason why the black are more iii demand
is because they are more rare Rose-colored
pearls were discovered some time ago-they
do not come from pearl oysters, but from
mussels, which are found in the rivers Of
Scotland. AS rule, these stones are not
quite round.
''There are various theories as to the man
ner in which pearls are formed Some say
that an animalcule bores through the shell
of the oyster, and that the latter, with the
object Of stopping up the hole, eXudes a sub
