later asked to withdraw it. The resigna-

that Samuel Cuvillier, Griffin's brother-in-

Smith to the effect that Griffin had been
intoxicated the street. 1t was decided
that officer Griffin had right to withdraw
his resignation, and 1t was agreed that be-
fore any action was taken by the board, the
case should be investigated by the mayor,
who stated that he would hear the charges
in the presence of the board. Lieutenant

she RESCUED THE
MARK TWAIN TRIBUTE

Editor Advertiser: 1t was privilege
many years ago to rescue from oblivion
that inspiration of Mark Twain -the
prose poem on Hawaii. At the time of
its delivery in a New York speech, 1
sent it TO the Paradise of the. Pacific,
suggesting that it was worth preserv-
ing, and worthy the gratitude of all
kamaainas. The frequent appearance
in print of this gem attests apprecia-
ton. One must protest, however,
against its alteration by so much as a
single word-euphony ana the sacred
rights of authorship forbid. The omis-
sion of allen" and the substitution
of years and years for twenty
years. in no way enhance its value.
Here is a further Indebtedness TO
Mark Twain. In Following the Equa-
tor" he says: ION the seventh day out
we saw vast dim bulk standing up
out of the wastes of the Pacific, and
knew that the spectral promontory was
Diamond Head. Not anything
in the world could have stirred me as
| the sight of that great rock did, This
is additional material for Hawaii
Promotion Committee. The quotation,
or the last sentence, would make an
| effective accompaniment to photo
graphs of Diamond Head.

THE TEST CASE.
rTne oflicial and Commercial RECORD. !

The case brought by Territorial
tendent of Public Works Holloway and
superintendent of Water Works Brown
to prevent them from turning over the
Honolulu Water Works to the County
Supervisors, is a step in the right
direction. 1t is just such a case as the
citizens meeting desired and which the
Bar Association had agreed to formu-
late and bring in order to test the
validity of the County Act. In fact the
Bar Association committee had dis
cussed this very method of getting the
question before the court, and would
have probably made the Water Works
the subject matter of the suit. AS it is
this case can and should bring UP
every one of the general objections to
the County Act and give the court OPP
portunity to decide them. Having that
opportunity the court should decide
them. Not one but all of them.
1t is within the discretion of the Su-
preme Court, when the constitutions
atty of statute is contested upon
several grounds, to decide the case
either upon one ground alone, or to
consider and dispose of all the grounds
presented.
So much depends upon the validity or
invalidity of the County Act, and the
uncertainty is so disturbing 10 public
confidence, which is the soul of credit,
that the public interests call for an
early and complete decision. The Rec
ord urges upon the Court that it not
only advance the case to early hearing
but that it consider and decide all of
the grounds presented as cause for
holding the act invalid, as well as all
those in it's support.
If, on the other hand, the grounds
of attack are considered piecemeal, one
ground only being considered in each
case. during series of cases, the re-
suit will be a waste of time, money and
effort. with no corresponding benefit,
while the evils arising from uncertain
ty will be unnecessarily prolonged.
A short, sharp and decisive de-
cision is needed, and the Record be-
lieves that the Supreme Court will rise
to the occasion and give it.

The scarcity of cotton has caused
mills to shut down in New England
but it has brought sudden rush of
prosperity to the cotton planters of the
South. So things in that respect are
fairly even. The general state of
business in the country. though not at
high water mark, is good enough to
avert the danger of hard times. For
eign trade is looking up, the staple
crops of the past autumn are selling
well and the influx of gold is normal.
Many of the shut downs of industrial
plants are due to the strikes organized
to serve the ends of walking delegates
and other agitators. Capital responds
to the threats of unions by closing its
works, to wait until unionism smooths
down it's arrogance. This state OF
things is noticeable in the building
trades. But behind all the trouble is
a vast country overfiowing with wealth
and enterprise and hopeful of the flu
ture.

CoLoMBIA's ATTITUDE.

If Colombia ventures upon war with
the United States the fact will be due
to the general ignorance prevailing
south of Mexico about the power and
adaptability of the North American re-
public. The Latin Americans have
been taught, partly by Europe, partly
by their own prejudices, that the peo-
pie of the United States are mere ira
ders who let their fighting be done by
hired ragamuffins from abroad, not to
be compared in warlike attributes and
chivalry to the hidalgos of New Spain.
Travellers all say that the threat of the
Gillian press fourteen years ago, to
land an army of $4,000 men at San
| Francisco and march them against
New York, quite fairly represents the
general South American idea of North
| American conditions. Venezuela,
| bristling up to Europe and then, in
| defeat, laying it all to the lack of a
| defensive fleet and ffattering itself that
| If the foreigners had dared come
ashore they would have been welcomed
by hospitable hands to bloody graves,
is typical of the whole pretentious col
| ony of small republics which fume and
buster on our sister continent. We
have no doubt that the people of Co
lombia believe they could retake Pam
anna and hold it against the Yankees.
They count as nothing the affair of the
United States with Spain and affect to
believe that the Filipinos are still hold
ing the HGringos" at bay. They are
quite capable of attacking US and to
feel no presage of the rude awakening
to come

POLITICS AND PATRONAGE.

1t is the duty of the Supervisors
elected on the Republican ticket to
stand pat for their party and divide
none of the advantages gained by Re
publicans at the polls with the Home
Rulers. They should agree among
themselves upon a chairman and stay
bound by their caucus action; and
whatever patronage there may be,
should be used to obtain efficient and
honest men from the ranks of the Re-
publican party and no other, and
thereby strengthen the organization
and fulfill the expectations of the ma
Jerity of the voters.
These are the simplest rules of politi-
cal fidelity. They cannot be violated
save in extraordinary circumstances
such as are presented when Kumalae
came up for Speaker. No such circum-
stances now show themselves and no
& Republican Supervisor can hope to
make a patronage deal with the Home
Rulers and retain the confidence of
3 the party which expects its elected
candidates to help rather than hinder
the fulf1llment of its pledges to give
eaffssspeople a sound and! economical
administration of. public affairs.
Nor is the case changed when the
Home Rulers ask favors for an all
legged Republican. Any man they want
in Office is one who has either done
something to help their party or has
promised so to do; and if the office is
one controlling large patronage, as is
that of Road Supervisor of the Fourth
District, Home Rule preference for the
incumbent must be classed with the
sort of gratitude which expresses itself
Now we submit that such favors be-
long, under Republican auspices, to the
Republican rank and file only. There
are plenty of good men to be found In
: the party for road work and if it is
given to them to do they will labor
hard in the next campaign and cement
the organization; and Home Rulers,
getting nothing, will see very practi-
cal reason indeed to enlist, in the Re
publican ranks. On the other hand
If Home Rulers are supported by the
Republicans and given reason to feel
that they have compelled such support,
there can nothing be done with them.
They will stay Home Rulers and let
well enough alone.

The lady who rescued Mark Twain's
tribute to Hawaii from transient
speech and sent it here for publication,
complains of the changes in the text
which appear in some of the literature
issued by the Promotion Committee
The point she makes is well taken and
we trust, before the prose poem ap-
pears in our magazine advertisements
it will be returned to it's original and
incompatible form. Somebody at
tempted to bring the tribute up to date
and the Promotion Committee, by mis-
take, got hold of the spoiled version.
The poem now resembles a necklace of
pearls with perfect gem taken out
here and there and cheap one sub
stituted.

! private letter from Los Angeles

A private letter from Los Angeles
The Sunday Advertiser is the best
advertising medium in this city today
but it is not fully appreciated by mer-
chants. Everybody reads the paper
as anyone can see by watching the
newsbogs, and its circulation is greater
than that of the city edition of the
daily Advertiser, which leads in its
field. No more favorable medium for
reaching the public was ever presented
here.

If the truth We're known, Honolulu
est slaveholding cities of the new
world. Those who get inside glimpses
of life among the yardboys and in the
purliens of Chinatown, know that wo-
men are being sold over and over
again. When japanese coolie goes
back home he is quite as likely to sell
his wife as to take her with him. Such
things are done quietly and as the
women rarely complain the authorities
learn but little. Occasionally a case
of peonage crops up here and is tried
in court; but it is only a specimen
brick from a great edifice of crime.

Mr. Cleveland chooses to be sage
instead of a Presidential candidate
and as such will secure an old age of
dignified leisure and national respect.
It is remarkable how public opinion
the best public opinion-in the United
States has reversed itself in regard
to Cleveland, perhaps by comparison
with other political leaders of later
day. This is not a tribute to genius or
to brilliancy, for the former President
has neither, but to a man of good
executive mind who can be relied upon
to take counsel of his conscience.
Such men are rare in American or any
other politics; when found they are
cherished and their names live after
them in affectionate speech as well as
in the formal tones of history.
