THE MANcHuRIA's DEPARTURE.

THE MANCHURIA'S DEPARTURE.
With the Imperial Chinese flag fly
ing at the forepeak, to the pleasing
strains Of music rendered by the Ha-
waiian Band, and to the waving fare
wells from those on the wharf, the Pa
cific Mail steamer Manchuria slowly
backed out from the Alakea street
wharf about p. m. yesterday. His
Imperial Highness Prince Tsai Hsun,
after having spent a busy day ashore,
boarded the vessel shortly after 4:30
p. m. and continued his voyage to
America. There were many Hawai-
ian residents on board the mammoth
liner as she departed and among them
were several young men and women
returning to the States to continue
their studies at various colleges. The
prevailing custom of presenting gar
lands of flowers to cheer the part
ing guest" excited much comment
among those passengers Of the Man
churia who were only passing through
Honolulu as well as among those re-
naming here whose privilege it was
to witness the pleasing incidents for
the first time. The passengers VINO
arrived from Australia on the steam
er Mariana were also greatly interest.
ed in the proceedings which preceded
the departure of the Manchuria and
several of them expressed their admir-
alton of the custom and of the music.
There was a large number of local
residents on the wharf to bid their
friends adieu.

The Leading Paper Of the County
Observation-Disclosures

Several of our most respected
citizens has asked us to write a rec
hot editorial aginst trusts and We
comply with great cheer as follers
For the benefit Of our more 10.
norunt readers who don't know
whot a trust is we will start in b,
explaining whot it is in simple
langwidge that any person with
any sense can understand. When
several men gets together. for in
stants, and buys up all the hogs
they is in the country and then
puts the price OF spare-ribs and
sawsldge up as high as they want
to, so that the publick has to pay
the price or 90 without spare-ribs
or sawsidge, that is what YOU call
a hog trust. Most all trusts is
hog trusts, as far as that is con-
cerned, because a trust. always acts
the hog II he gets half chance.
Trusts is more common in this
country now than they was several
years ago. We can remember
when they was no SIGH a thing as
a trust in our midst, but that time
is past. From what we can gather
| J. Peerpoint Morgan is the father
Iof the trusts in this country. He
has formed several in his time and
has made a great success at the
business. He is the Teller what
formed the billion dollar steel
trust. We don't know how much a
billion dollars is, but it must be a
awful lot. Morgan also formed
several railroad trusts and the
Shipbuilding trust and a lot more
trusts too numerous to mention.
Trusts is bad thing for the pub
lick at large, if we do say it our
sell. Take the Standard Oil Trust
which John Rockefeller got I'D
for instants. John he has about
all the lamp oil they is in the coun-
try under his control and he
charges just what he blame pleases
for it per gal.
Even Hen Weathersby, prop of
our general and only store, las to
buy his lamp oil of John Rocker
Teller. Well, we don't know what
Hen has TO pay for his oil, being
as it amt none of our business. but
judging from the price he sells it
at to his customers (23 cents per
gal. } we calkilate that the Rocker
teller teller soaks Hen considerable
on the price. Now what is the re-
suit? We pause for a reply. Be-
ing as there amt no reply, we will
tell you:-the people of Bingville
and visinnity is paying about twice
as much for lamp oil as the gosh

That's What Little Sammy HiIIyer
Done to a Button Which

CONSERVATION and horror soopreme
/ spread among the inhabitants of our
! earstwhiie quiet and busting village on
Tuesday morning last, when Mrs. Amos
( Hlllyer, wife OF our justice Of the
( peace, notary public. LAWYER, attorney
and all around legal light, announced
to her neighb0rs that her little Swear
old son, Sammy Hiilyer, had went and
I swallerd a button clean down into his
/ stuUmiCk.
When we heard this awful irtellig-
ence we was striking off some sale bills
for Gideon Packard out Hardscrabble
way, but, as old Israel Putnam drooDed
the handles OF the pillow, and lett his
oXes standing in the field 70 60 to war
when he heard that the Revolution
had broke out so we dropped our work
and with our characteristic newspaper
enterprise we hurried to the scene of
the disaster TO git the fackts in the
case while they was vet hot
Arriving at the FIillver residence we
pushed bravely through the crowd Of
morbidly curious witch was surrounding
the house and entered the settin room.
where most all OF the wives Of our most
respected citizens of the town was
gethcrcd together trying to console poor
Mrs. Hillyer, who was terrible worked
up.
Little Sammy, the hero Of the occa-
sion. was setting on the floor playing
with some wooden blocks witch Santa
Claus brung him last Christmas. Sammy
was cheerful and didn't seem to be
filed with remorse because he had swal-
Tered the button, but OF course he was
too young to realize the awful henious-
ness OF the terrible thing witch ne had
did Sammy didn't know that the DAYS,
yea the hours witch he had remaining to
live on this earth was very short.
We calmly asked the grief-st7icken
woman whot kind Of button was i
that Sammy swallered, and between
sobs she said she had bought half duz-
zen buttons at Hen Weathersby's store
to put on a shirtwaist she was making
for herself and that she left the but
tons laying on the table while she went
out 10 put stick or 50 OF stovewood
in the kitchen stove. As she come back
into. the room she distinctly saw Sam
my pick up one of the buttons, and put
it into his mouth. She give a terrible
shreek and rushed toward him, and
this skeered Sammy so bad that he
give a gulp and the button went down
his throat.
As we were talking to her Doc Liv-
ermore, our horse physician, surgeon
and human specialist, come into the
room, having been summoned by sew
eral of the neighbors Doc asked the
particklers of Mrs Hillyer Then he
felt Samny's pulse and looked at his
tongue and tried TO see down his throat
into his stummick, but Sammy object
ed Doc then said he didn't see any
other way than TO perform a operation
on Sammy. As Mrs. Hillyer was try
ing to make up her mind whot to do
Doc he up and asks: Say, Mrs. Hill
yer, perhaps Hen Weathersby has an
other button left just like the one Sam
my swallered"
Goodness sakes," says Mrs. Hillyer,

hisn, why, lamp oil becomes a lux
ury, as YOU might say, and conse-
Iquently it is cheaper to burn taller
candles than TO burn lamp oil,
which most people does in this
|neighborhood. Taller candles don't
give quite as much light as lamp
oil does, but give an alfred sight
more light for the money. Hen
could sell more lamp oil if it
wasn't for the oil trust. As it IS
he don't sell SIGH awful lot. He's
had bari Of lamp oil on hand now
I goin on FIVE years and It amt half
empty as vet.
On the other hand we under
stand that trusts is a awful good
thing for them as owns stock in
said trusts. OF course if a man
owned stock in a trust and was get
tin 2 or hundred per cent more
| for his goods than he would get
under luther circumstances. we can
/. see how he could believe trusts was
ia good thing. If we owned a trust
.oursclf we probably would study
Ia long time before we would come
out so strong agin trusts as we
have in this editorial. But we never
had no chance to join a trust and
so we haven't got our own interests
at stake like we would have if we
had joined one. That's why we
amt afeared to say what we think.
1t has always been the policy of
the Bugle to denOunCe ANYTHING
what is detrimental to the welfare
of the people, especially when we
don't own stock as in this case.
What do we care if this editorial
we have wrote Injuries the business
of the trusts all over the country?
We reply-Notlling On the con-
trary we hope it will injure them.
We hope that when the big trust
magnates read this artickel that
they will cringe in their boots and
that their consciences will pain
them and that they will resolve in
their little, shrunk-up hearts to re-
form and to lead better and nobul-
Ter lives.
If the trust owners don't want us
to say things aginst their nefarious
and thieving methods, let them
write to us themselves and make us
some proposition in the way of a
donation of stock, or something
like that so as to make us less bitter
in our feelings lords item. Other
wise the trusts needn't expect no
quarter from rs. No-sir-ee-bob. We
propose to hew close to the line on
this trust question, let the chips
fall where they may. We believe in
free speech, free press, free lunch.
but We don't believe in free adver-
Using, nor free sample copies, nor
trusts. Let the trusts beware of us.
