Dancing went on all the time, couples
coming and going and round dancing
being succeeded by quadrilles. Some
times 1.-THE and sinuous jig-dancer
got a space cleared for himself to dis
port in, and great was the enthusiasm
when some girl would accept chal-
lenge and come out on the boards to
do turn with the jig-dancer. Such adj
vanCing and swaying and retreating;
such apparent Indifference and then
unexampled vigor; such hammering
of the boards and turning and twist
ing, until at the end the crowd roared
it's approval and the dancers disap-
peared among the spectators.
Political society at the picnics, DEM
ocratic as it seemed at first blush, had
it's lines of demarcation, which were
quite noticeably drawn. The wife and
daughters of the big boss" were on
hand, together with the women-folks
of the various office-holders, but they
did not mingle with the average lady
picnickers- They sat by themselves
in something of exclusive grandeur,
and were pointed out by the more
ordinary of the merry-makers to their
companions.
Sometimes a possible presidential
candidate graced the occasion by his
presence and consented to hand out a
sample of silver-tongued oratory. But
l never heard one yet who could draw
away any of the attendance at the
baseball game or the fat women's race.
There's a limit, even to oratory.
Great was the CONSERVATION when,
as sometimes happened, the flood
gates of heaven opened and drowned
the picnic grounds. The last political
picnic 1 attended commenced on "a
very threatening day, and at last the
clouds seemed to make up their minds

aiken alarm, with a number of others.
and had gone down the track to where
he first train to town was stationed.
Fhe crowd got there and damned the
train instantly. Just opposite the pic
mic ground, and a half mile from US,
was a wide platform, uncovered, on
which stood hundreds who were wait
ing for this train. Let her go, Sam,
said the conductor; mo stop till we
get to Chicago" Away we went, and
as we passed the picnic grounds hum
dreds more came down through the
drenching showers in white dresses
that stuck to their limbs and straw
hats that were being soaked to ruin
But the train went past regardless of
their yells, and as it went by the car
windows were raised and the chorus
of the latest song was waited into
their-ears:

Bees in Block Of Stone.

While workmen were saving through
block of Bath stone at Exeter, Eng

was found a cluster OF two or three
dozen live bees.

COMPLAINTS ABOUT PAINT.

The time to complain about paint
is before the painter applies it. The
man who puts up the money should
not shirk the responsibility of choos-
ing the paint. True, the painter
ought to know paint better than the
banker, the professional man or the
merchant. The trouble is, the house
owner too often deliberately bars the
competent and honest painter from
the job by accepting bid which he
ought to know would make an honest
job impossible
Secure your bids on the basis of
National Lead Company's pure White
Lead and pure Linseed Oil and see
that you get these materials.
No one need be fooled by adulter-
ated white lead. A blowpipe testing
outfit will be mailed to anyone inter-
ested in paint.

EXCLUSION LAW HARDSHIP.

| Editor Advertiser.-Article " of the
treaty between China and the United
States, which provides for the exclu-
sion law, contains the following para
graph:
eff the measures as enacted are
found to work hardship upon the sub
jects of China, the Chinese Minister at
Washington may bring the matter to
the notice of the Secretary of State of
the United States, who will consider the
subject with him; and the Chinese For
eign Office may also bring the matter
to the notice of the United States Min
lister at Picking and consider the sub
ject with him. to the end that mutual
and unqualified benefit may result. -
AT that time October ), 1881 the
President of the United States made
proclamation that ''every article and
clause should be observed and fulfilled
with good faith by the United States
and the citizens thereof But how
often has that hardship clause been
overlooked and forgotten in the too
Jealous execution of exclusion lawsl
There is good. faithful old Chinese
man in Honolulu today who is feeling
very sadly a great hardship from the
exclusion measures as enacted. - He
. is a cook in one of the American fami-
lies of the city, and has taken a most
kindly and faithful interest in all the
welfare of that household for the past
seven or eight years. He has had one
great trial. He wanted to bring his
wife from China to live here with him,
and his employer would be very glad
to have her come, but, being a Chinese
cook, a laborer, under the laws of
Christian America, he cannot bring his
wife or family here. 1t is a blow at
the rights of family life, one of the
first and universal rights of mankind.
Is not Minister WI Ting Fang right
when he said of this American law:
Truly the principles of heavenly
right have been Iost2'' Have all the
clauses of the above treaty been OBJ
served and fulfilled with good faith?
Various plans have been considered
as to how he could have his wife come
If he had $1,000. he could class as a
merchant, and then she could come :;
but he was poor. 1t was thought that
possibly something might be secured
by taking the case to Washington. and
it was decided to do so. Now the word
has just arrived that his wife in China
has taken sick and died It is too late
to help in this sad case. Although he
is only Chinese labOrer, he feels very
bad. Even the working man has feel
ings- This is but one case in hundreds.
Can any credit or benefit come to
America from laws like this? Restric-
tions in the matter of the immigration
of laborers may De right, but let the
laws be true to American ideals of home
and family life. Shall it be considered
crime to be forbidden by law for a
man to have his lawful wife come to
live with him in his own home? Take
all precautions AGAINST fraud, but let
It be made possible for even the poor
man, the laborer, or the alien of any
nation, who is already living peaeeably
in our land, to bring his own wife and
children if he wishes

main complaint was that there were
not enough places ashore where the
men on twenty-four and forty-eight-
hour shore leave could spend the night.
They get all of sleeping aboard they
want. YOU can count on that. and what
they look forward 10 in port is to be
able to have a bed ashore. I'm sure
they'd be willing 10 dig up two-bits

UNLOADING BIG GUNS.

Work may be begun today on the
unloading from the hold of the s. S.
Hilonian Of the big mortars and their
carriages brought from san Francisco
for the Diamond Head Notifications.
There are four Of these monster weap-
ons in the Hilonians hold The guns
weigh fifteen tons apiece and the big
gest single piece in the carriages weigh
between sixteen and seventeen tons.
The task Of getting them from the Hi
Ionians lower interior to the wharf,
and thence 10 old Leahi, behind which
hides the fort. viii prove a delicate
proposition.
1t is expected that the Hilonian will
this morning shift from the Matson
wharf. where she went to discharge
her general freight, TO the Railroad
wharf. Extra heavy. tackle has been
rugged from the foremost over the fore
hatch. and the foremost has been re-
inforced by a couple of new preventer
stays. and the forestry is new and of
the hest.
Every precaution has been taken 20
prevent a repetition of the accident
which occurred aboard the big Jap
hence TO Formosa, when a twelve-ton
condenser swung outward over the
wharf because of the loOsening of
guy. crumpled the aftermast of that
vessel and fell 10 the wharf. If one
of the fifteen-ton mortars fell from the
hoist TO the keelson of the Hilonian it
would likely go through her bottom.
From the chains the great weights
will be deposited on fat cars and
shifted TO the railway yard, where they
will be lifted by the railways 25-ton
