The Rights Of the DaQo.
The Argument of Small Banana Thici
N the Police Court.

N the Police Court
A small hoy caught stealing ba-
nanas defended himself the other
day, in New York police court, by
the assertion, 'Aw, t amt stealth to
swipe from a Dago."
1t is probable that his view is held
by a good many people in that and
other cities who are older. and ought
to be wiser. Some day, perhaps. we
shall be honest enough, brave
enough. far-sighted enough, to get
rid of the idea that justice may be
perverted with impunity when the
parties to the difficulty are of differ
ent and warning nationalities At
present. the feuds arising from such
antagonisms are among the most
serious of our national dangers.
The police court is, in this respect,
a great educator The small boy
who made the plea Just quoted has
learned by this time that the law re-
CARDS stealing as stealing, whether
one rObs a 'Dago," an Irishman, a
Yankee, or a Chinaman. a police
court with an upright and wise judge
is a great reformatory institution.
But what about the courts in
which the judge himself sees things
crooked? What about the judge who
proves to the poor that it is not steal
ing for a rich man to steal from his
pOverty-stricken tenant? What about
the judge who holds his place by vir-
tue of the votes of a certain bunch
of citizens, anG viii not punish a
voter for an offense against the Chi
nese laundryman who has no vote?
What sort of an educating power is
that sort of a court?
Fortunately or unfortunately. the
main part Of the education Of the
foreign immigrant is not received in
the schools, and we are beginning to
understand that.

Easter Sunday in Russia passed
yesterday without the anti-Jewish
outbreaks so freely predicted. In

the government had taken ample
precaution to prevent a repetition Of
the disorders which marked the cele-

year. The absolute quiet of yester-
day demonstrates that, had the gov
eminent acted promptly last year,
the disgraceful butchery OF helpless
men, women, and children could
never have taken place.

| all his life. There are none of the
! naughty airs of the traditional man
DARN about Prince Pu Lun, and our
! ing his stay yesterday in Honolulu he
proved himself to be indeed prince.
THE DAYS ITINERARY.
The program yesterday was a formal
greeting to him aboard the Gaelic by
the Secretary of the Territory, mill
tary escort to the Alexander Young
Hotel where he had engaged a suite of
rooms on the parlor floor. an official
call from the Governor of Hawaii, a
visit to the Chinese United Society
rooms, formal call on Governor Car
ter at the latter's residence, luncheon
at the Young Hotel, a ride In an cleo
trio car over the system of the Rapid
Transit railroad, an inspection of the
Aquarium at Waikiki, an afternoon
luncheon at the Chinese consulate and
a reception rendered to His Highness
last evening at the Chinese Consulate.
1t was busy day for the Prince and
suite, but they did not seem to weary
of the attentions paid them. and he
expressed his great delight in being
able to be on American soil.
MET BY TROOPS.
At daylight the Gaelic made prepara-
tions to enter the harbor. AT the same
time a steady stream of Chinese and
other nationalities made its way to the
Hackfeld wharf. BY the time the ves-
sci swung alongside the wharf one of
the largest crowds ever congregated
on a Honolulu wharf was massed be-
meath the sheds. Drawn up in impos-
ing array were two companies of the |
United States Artillery in command |

Davis, U. S. a.. and Lieut.. Behr, U. S.
A.. the escort provided on behalf of the |
President of the United States Two

companies of the National Guard of
Hawaii, under the respective commands
of Captain Sam Johnson and Captain
Rose. completed the military formation.
On the arrival of the vessel the troops
presented arms, and at the same time
a salute of twenty-one guns was fired
in the Palace grounds.
GIVEN FREEDOM OF CITY.
The Customs launch which went out
to the Gaelic had aboard Secretary of
the Territory A. L. c. Atkinson, and
his military Aides, Lieut.. w. H. K.
Hamilton, Artillery Corps, U. s. A,
and Lieut.. Thos. Cummins, N. G. H,
che Chinese Consul, Chong Tso Fan and
his suite. The Royal Standard of the
Emperor of China was at the foremast
of the Gaelic as the party was greet
ed at the head of the gangway. Sec
retary Atkinson welcomed Prince Lun
to American and Hawaiian soil on be-
half of the Governor of the Territory
and extended to him the freedom of
the city. His remarks were inter-
preted by Vice-Commissioner Wong
kaf Kah. The Prince replied that he

Prince Pu Lun Looked
Upon by Mass of
Chinese.


Royal in title, royal in appearance
and royal in manner, a Prince of the
Imperial house of China yesterday
stepped upon American soil for the
first time in Honolulu. Prince Pu Lun,
nephew of His Imperial Highness the
Emperor of China. Imperial Commits
sioner to the Louisiana Purchase Ex-
position. accompanied by the Vice
Commissioner Wong Kai Kah and
suite, arrived in Honolulu yesterday
morning on the steamer Gaelic and
were accorded Federal and territorial
honors during their stay. The atten-
tions of the United States and Hawai-
ian governments were supplemented by
the homage of the Chinese Consul and
attaches. representative Chinese soci-
cites and the mass of the Chinese popu-
lation of the city.
For the first time in the lives of the
majority of the Chinese here they were
permitted to gaze without fear or favor
upon the features of prince of the
royal blood. In China every sacred
law would have been violated had they
lifted their eyes in profane admiration
of the wearer of the three-eyed pea
cock feather and the yellow Jacket. Not
since the time when Ii Hung Chang
visited the United States has so much
interest been aroused concerning China
as by the advent of Prince Pu Lun.
From early morning until late last
night the Prince was given every
courtesy possible in the name of the
President of the United States, the
Governor of Hawaii and the Emperor
of China. The attentions did not turn
the princes head. however. for he
seems a level-headed man Of 80 years.
and proved himself an intelligent ab-
server of the picturesque in Hawaii.
Above all he indicated that he has
democratic tastes, far from the auto
cratic manner he has been thought to
have.
A drive in fine Victoria behind a
dashing span had not near the inter- |
est for him of a ride on an electric |
car, and above all he dislikes Chinese
prepared dishes, preferring those of |
European recipes. His handshake with
all whom he meets is as hearty as If |

/ was glad to have the opportunity OF
standing on American territory. AS
the vessel was moored at the Hackfeld
wharf the troops presented arms and
the Hawaiian Band played several
selections. Col. Jones of the National
Guard went aboard with others, and
the Prince was the first to go down
the gangplank. He was followed by
Vice-Commissioner Wong Kai Kah and
the Chinese Consul with Secretary At
kinson and aides close to him. AS the
Prince stepped upon the platform the
bugles gave three fiourishes. a unique
ceremony. The Prince was escorted to
the victoria of Governor Carter, by Sec
retary Atkinson, the Vice-Commission-
er occupying another carriage with
Col. Jones at his side, and a large
coach drawn by six horses was occu-
pied by the Princes sdite.
