15- c Li t 1 C5' PROGRESS. The Life of the Land is Established in Righteousness. HONOLULU, SEPT. 23. 1S93 TOPICS OF THE DAY. The Advertiser this morning admits that the ball to be given at the Palace on Monday, com plimentary to tho Boston officers is a political affair. The Star which at present does not seem to bo in the good graces of the Advertiser Editor, came out in a positive and decided way, and from the beginning gave to the entertainment in question a poli tical color. Tho maudlins: and half-hearted attitude of the Advertiser is to say, the least ramarkablo- Tho admission though to-day, that tho ball is a political affair, lustines tne utterances m our paper yesterduj-. If the Admiral commanding the squadron hero was in tho service of any .Euro pean government, he would con sider himself obliged to forbid the oflicers under bis command to attend a ball, wbich now only can bo considpred a political demonstration- of an offensivo ntture,to the Hawaiian people. "When the Wiltzso ball took and Jap- place, the English nneso officers stationed with in tho harbor at that time their vessels of Honolulu refused to be present at an enter tainment which carried with it so distinctly a political character. Why tho Araoricau navy should follow and oboy a different code of rules we cannot see. Tho par tisan stand taken by tho Boston officers in tho Hawaiian matters is such as to making them deserv ing of tho greatest rebuke and . disapproval by the administra tion in Washington, and we have no doubt, that the maj who to day represents the American navy in tho Cleveland Cabinet will ex press himself in the rast unmis takablo language when furnished with the particulars regarding tho attitude of tho Boston officers in Honolulu. It was our intention to oncour age all of tho citizeus who are in opposition to the provisional gov ernment and to annexation to at tend thoball if invited because wo are mainly inclined to follow tho principlo of "burying the batchet," but tho remarks in the Advertiser this morning make us change our ideas, and we now say that nobody who sympathizes with tho Hawaiiaus, nobody who is indebted to Hawaii and her Queon for pjst favors, or who expects futuro favors from a Ha waiian Government should attend tho political ball to be given at tho palace. If tho Amorican of- i fleers havo tho bad taste to go to an entertainment advertised and stigmatized as a political af fair offensive to tho Hawaiian nation, well and good. Wo do not presume to direct tho move ments of that otherwise gentle manly body of men, but wo sug gest to evry friend of Hawaii, hu or wuBtas to st ty- away froai mm the ball, which now is made to appear as a dunce on the grave of Hawaiian independece, Hawai ian self-respect, and Hawaiian manhood. GO "HEELED." "We advise all our friends who can so far forget or ignore the proprieties of the time and occas ion as to attend the annexation bull at the Palace on Moudy night to go "heeled." Now, the word quoted is not classic Eng lish, j-et it has a well recog nised meaning among thoso who indulge in the profanity of slang. J Being "heeled" signifies bein prepared for whatever is likely or liable to occar, and refers, in general parlance, to a prepar ation for anticipated assaults, riots, and the like. and the " heeling" process usually con sists in stowing a pistol in ones pocket, a derringer in the boot, or, (in case of a lady) concealing a razor in her garter. Gentlemen of color in the United States, are also partial to tho razor as a weapon of either offense or de fense, and it is justly popular for the many close shaves through which it has brought its fortunate possessors, snt our advice has nought to do with the weapons of physical assault or defense Other weapons are much more likely to be demanded of those who attend the ball, and it is to thesv that our advice is directed. With the memory of the annexation ball at tho Hotel, September 18th, in mind, the unfortunates who were there pounced upon for contri butions to the expense of the 'racket" need no assurance that our meaning is th:.t they shculd t "go heeled" with coin to pa any assessments that may bo levied upon than during the evening. It would be awkward, indeed, for a gnest to bo "stood up against a balcony pillar, by tho collection committee, with an invitation to "throw up his hands" while the committee afuresaid go through his garments for wealth to satisfy tho tax of their imposition. To bo caught short, without the wherewithal to liquidate might induce serious results. There is a "brig" otherwise known as a cell, for refractory spirits, im mediately under the front steps of the Palace, to avoid an ac quaintanco with whose internal arrangements it might be desir able to pay all assessments with promptitude, and a cheerful coun ten-ince. Therefore, let all gen tlemen who contemplate attend ina the annexation ball at the Pal ace, (and especial y the naval visitors) heed our disinterested advice in heeled." tho premises, and "go "Boston Ball" Notes. "While it is true that the in tended ball is not an official one, it can scarcely be said to havo no. political significance, as it is tne spontaneous act of citizens of Ho nolulu who favor annexation." Star, Sept. 22. It is well that all the invited guests should know before-hand what kind of an entertainment they are ex pected to attend. Among the list of Jiames of thoso persons who are serving on the Ball committees, are not iced, one or two which appeared a short while since, in tho Star's list of those government officials who had Hot sigusd the annexation I roll. Are thev annexationists no? - ," " - - "The Star announces the f-ici that Mr. Htsssingar.kas bought one thousand limes for the lem- onade; that claret punch xetll also be served; and that there will be no wassail after the mon- arcbist fashion. That s good, too good to be true. Out , of the risiug list ot ntteen names compi the B.tll coramitfc- e, are several of whom, who at any of the past dances given -t the Palace, after the monarchist fashion, would not drink lemonade, d d not? care I very much for punch, but would drink, and much prefered it, "hard stuff" and champ gne, in fact, in the opinion of some tho ball was not a success unless tho "hard stuff and wine" was provided what a change has come over them pince the 17th of January. How muy private flasks will be carried to the ball next Monday evening, or how mauy viv-ts will be made to tho Hotel by thirsly ones during the evening. And so the dear Advertiser confesses, that the Bali of Mon day night is to be an expression of public sentiment regarding annexation. Just so, that is ex actly what we thought, and of course invitations are being sent to every body, and further, . of coarse, alter tne ball is over that is to say in the next morn ings Advertise? just for political effect, "you know" tho name of every person iuvited will appear. The whole schema instead of beiner comnlimentarv to the ofii- cers of thb Bost m is a mean in sult. They have an-1 they know it many friends among tho loyal ists who have formed tho deepest respect for thorn during their thirteen months stay here, and the only way those same loy alists can show their respect is bv keeping away from what is neither more nor less than a poll tical annexation meeting. We firmly hope that all those who believe in the absolute inde pendence of our beloved Hawaii will stand to their colors and let the annexationists have a dance all to themselves. It is to bo hoped that every daughter of this their native land will sacrifice pleasure for principle for once. Wo will tako good care to pub lish the names of those only who are actually present. The Boat Race. The race between the Heaianis and the Myrtles on the 4th of October at Pearl Harbor, is the event of the season. Both crews are practising, and both are sure to win. The Ilealani boys fly their blue flag at tho Hawaiian Hotel and pro to bed earlv that is most of them. Glarenco Alac- farlane who is tho Captain, needs a great deal of watching. Jack Atkinson is depntized to look after him, and he has got a con tract on his hands. Clarence insists on running away to meet a ghoul at the cemetery she never mes though. The rest of the bovs are doinc well and wo advise our friends, to pnt their monev on the Heaianis. The Myrtles are stationed at Pearl City, and are doing some fine work in theirnew boat.

Sixteen gHutlemuu presumably aH members of the Annexation Ciub, including one fore gn Consul, and si'ven civil and military ofli cers under this government, are tlie-.Coiiimittee or citizens of this city, who asked the government for the use of that building, for next Monda- night. The request was immediately granted by the Pre sident of the Annexation Club, who also is acting President of the government. Quer. When was the meeting of the citizens, at which time the above Committee was appointed held? The citizens of this city have not been consulted whatever on the siibiect scatter, whether or no the Palace Building is an appropriate or suitable place to give the intendi el reception in. The ball is not a citizens' affair, but that of a politi cal club, and should not be given in that building. Hawaiian National Band. The Hawaiian National Band, under the leadership of Prof. Libor nio, will give another of their soul stirring concerts at Sans Souci this evening, As the concerts given by this band are much ap preciated, there is no doubt, but that a large number of our music loving people will attend.

We aro informed that the total crop on which bounty will bo paid in tho United States during the present fiscal year is estimated at about 80,000,000 pounds, an increase of abont 1,000,000 pounds over the fiscal year 1892. The production of beet sugar has ad vanced from 12,004,838 pounds in 1892 to 27,083,300 pounds in 1893, and the applications for bounty on a maple sugar willihi3 year be about 3,000,000 pouuds. Tho sorghum production is about 986,000 pounds and tho cano production about 450,000,000 pounds. There has been a remarkable increase in the importation and consumption of sugar in Japan during tho past twenty years. which can scarcely have failed to havo had some effect on the course ot tne worlds markets. In 1868 the declared value of tho igar imported by Japan was 819,700, and last year it wa3 10,000,000. A Japan native paper gives the total value of the sugar imported during too last twenty four years as 98,740,000, or an average of about $4,300,000 per annum, -in jloou me de clared value was 3,630,000, and in 1891 S,490,000. Meanwhile tho valne of the sugar produced m japan itseti nas increaseu from $1,700,000, in 1884 to up wards -of $6,000,000 .n recent years. Sugw Cane,
