MIssED-oNE DAY.

The mar who missed the Sunday Ad-
vertiser will find i1..nsIlf just day be-
hind his more fortunate neighbor who
did not today, besides the deprivation
that will be his because of the excellent
special features of the Sunday paper
that he failed TO see. To begin with,
there was the cable news from all the
world in the paper. Now that Homo
lulu is really in the world by the pos
session of the cable, the news comes
every day, for the world moves every
day. The man who does not follow the
worlds movements. loses just one-sev-
enth part of the knowledge that is open
to all. =
Then, as to the special features, there
was the interesting story OF the old
Commercial Hotel, chapter out of the
past OF Honolulu; the philosophic refiec-
lions OF THE Bystander;" Mr.. Arm
strong's always valued Current Com
ment;" the commercial review which
business men have come to look for; a
most readable story OF how Queen Lii
Iiuokalani vas sold by her advisers;
and racy letter from China containing
internal evidences that Volcano" Mar
shall is still very much in the land of
the living.
The paper contained all the local news
OF the day moreover, legislative. marine
and police happenings. being in effect
a complete newspaper as well as an is
sue devoted largely to special matter,
and its chronicle carried the happen
ings OF the week out to their compile
ton In fact. Honolulu has become suf-
ficiently metropolitan to demand a Sun
day paper. and the Sunday Advertiser
OF yesterday met the demand. Those
who missed seeing it scored distinct
loss.

THE NEGRo's POSITION.

The negro question is occupying more
and more Of the public mind, and
many mainland journals profess to see
in the attentions paid to the colored
voters of the South schemes on the
part of the President and Senator
Hanna to secure the votes of delegates
from those states to the next National
Republican convention.
The bill of Senator Hanna providing
for pensions for ex-slaves promises to
do. in the end, more harm than good,
in the light of recent utterances. In
the House of Representatives recently.
when the matter came up Mr. Cannon
of Illinois, chairman of the Committee
on Appropriations. and who will be the
Speaker of the next House. declared
that no such measure as the one pro-
posing pensions for the ex-slaves will
meet with the approval of Congress.
now or later.
1t is not a question then, of the
right or wrong of the matter. but of
facts. Mr.. Cannon is a strong man, |
one whose words must be given weight. |
and to fail to so judge the value of his |
may mean to misread the
signs of the times. Taking it for |
granted. then, that with Mr. Cannon's |
followers in the Republican camp AMI
the Democratic strength opposed to
such pensions no bill can pass, the Il
danger is that sharpers will use the

LIGHTNING IN THE BALKANS,

There has been a flash Of lightning
from the dark cloud that has been how
ering over the Balkans for some weeks
past, and a few Turks have been killed
in battle with the Macedonians. Wheth-
er this is the beginning of the great war
that is TO finally settle the veXed East
ern question" by driving the Osmani
out of Europe remains TO be seen. II
may we'll mean the beginning Of de-
cisive struggle. The time has gone by
when there can be little wars in the
Balkans. There are too many conflict
ing interests. too many powerful par
ties who must be reckoned with, who
ever is permitted to breed the trouble
But il is one thing to begin war TO
drive out the Turks, and quite another
to drive them out. The Turks, in all
their history, have always shown
most stubborn disinclination TO be driv-
en-. and there is d we'll grounded faith
that they will resist now more eifectuaI-
Iy than they have ever done before.
And this is particularly true if, as now
seems probable, Russia is elected to do
the driving. They are more than
hereditary enemies, the Turks and the
Russ. They are religious enemies. and
that is the bltterest of all enmity.
Their embattled armies have met, more
than once, in The centuries. and though
the Turks have fought as mobs fight.
ii cannot be said with truth that the
Russ has proven his superiority in the
game of arms. Even in the last war,
with an army drilled and organized on
the most approved modern system, with /,
a commissariat second to none in the |
world, with IimitIess resources in men
and money. the Russians were all but |
baked of their prey by a brave man
with an armed mob holding a petty
fortress in the Balkans.
The Turk has learned his lesson since
possessed of a mobile army, up to date
n all things, and this modern army
walked through the Greeks as though
hey had been men of straw. For the

ian. and particularly OF the Russian
christian, that will carry him far.

defense seen in modern time

HOW TO STOP A COUGH.

A simple but effective remedy is the
following:
Breathing through the nostrils, inhale
a full breath as slowly as is possible
without causing fatigue. Expel the
breath in the same manner, and repeat
the coughing for about a quarter of
an hour. Take dose of Chamber
lain's Cough Remedy during this lull
and the medicine will have better
opportunity to act and will speedily
effect complete cure. 1t always cures
and cures quickly. Benson, Smith& Co.,
Ltd, wholesale agents, sell it.

WORK BEFORE LEGISLATORS.

With county legislation, appropria-
tons. loan bill, and reforms in practice
and revision of the laws confronting
II, the Legislature enters upon its third
week with vast deal of business that
will tax the energies of members and
the ingenuity of leaders. 1t is all i'm
portant work, every measure will re-
quire close thought. and there Will De
no time for idle discussion. and the
people will watch closely if valuable
hours are spent in gallery play.
The county measure VIII be the first
to receive consideration. from the pres
emit outlook, and there is unanimity
of opinion that there will be many
amendments before the measure IS
passed finally. These however, will be
slight. from the viewpoint offered by
prior discussion. The coherency Of the
bill will not be destroyed, as many
members favor its passage now with
the knowledge that after two years Oh
practical working the still rough spots
may be smoothed down, and the law
so amended as to approach more nearly
to perfection.
The loan bill now before the Senate
will receive careful consideration as
we'll. for there are features of such |
legislation which are necessarily intri- |
cate and which, though seemingly
small. will have a great effect upon |
the value of the securities. The fact is
that a provision. found in section 2O2
of the Civil Laws, sets aside all the
revenues from the sales of public lands
as a sinking fund for the redemption 81
bonds. On it's face this would appear
10 be SUFFICIENT to provide properly for
the amortization of the issue. But

address yesterday to the local socialists.
Mr. Birkhofer is a large operator under

nounces himself to be a socialist He is
the manufacturer of an alcoholic beverage,
and yet he deplored the Incorporate in
diligence in alcoholic stimulants. The
present organization of industry works the
laborer SO hard, in Mr.. Birkhofer's opin-

ulation OF his jaded energies. The more
men will drink, the greater the chance to
sell what will quench their thirst; there
fore Mr.. Birkhofer. from the standpoint
of selfish considerations, ought to be at

busy worker of to-day requires or con-
sumes as much alcohol as the more de-
liberate worker of the old days. The mod

temperance. Only those who are temper
ate are able to keep their positions In a

The North Looks On.

At the risk of becoming wearisome with
repetitions 1t is worth while to renark
again the almost complete absence Of in
dignation in the north at one Of the most
decisions ever given by the
supreme court of the United States. That
tribunal has declared that 1t has, nothing
to do with the question of the constitu-
ttonality of franchise provisions OF state
at any rate, it declined to
method Of DISTINGUISHING negroes. There
has been far more surprise expressed over
the courts refusal to deal with the Giles
case on its merits than over the conse-.
quences OF the decision. The consequences
simply are that there is no judicial relief
are deprived of the ballot in certain states
because they are negroes. Indeed, there Is
a feeling Of relief in some quarters that
the supreme court has given a decision
which makes the question more than ever
distinctly one to be settled by the south
ern people. There is no denying that the
people of the north are now strongly
of the opinion that the negro problem IS
one that the southland by the south lis
meant mainly the white, people-rnust set
knows how to deal with it. The Philadel-
phia Public Ledger goes so far as to, say
that the prevalence of this conviction in,
the north constitutes "a sort of unwritten
amendment to the amendments to the
constitution, and it is undoubtedly in ac-
cordance with it that the supreme court
has declined to allow federal tribunals to
decide whether Alabama's suffrage laws
are in conflict with the negro suffrage
amendments"
powerful enough to keep congress from
enforcing the logical penalty OF disfran-
chfsement, viz, reduced representation in
congress. The southern negroes, as a
class. are now out Of politics, and will
probably stay out until that remote per-
iod when the gradual introduction into
political power of a few superior indi-
viduals here and there will amount ia
something.
