It must bo a sonso of guilt which makes tho Advortisor put n strained meaning on tho word .this pnpor applied to its insulting Vcforenco to tho Proaidont of tho United States. "Vulgar," accord ing to tho Standard Dictionary, lias thoso among other meanings: "flnmowhat coarse," "offensive to good tasto and refined sentiment," " "opposed to roputablo literary U3go," "inolegaut, unrefined, as a vulgar word, speech, or practise," but "only in looso usage" what the Advertiser reBouts as applied to its language It was simply in tho ordinary Bonse of tho quoted definitions, foregoing, that tho liur.r.KTiN classed as vulgar tho Advertiser's brag, on bohalf of Mr. Thurston, that tho l'rosidont nevor could "lick" that gentle man. Tho Advortisor Booms to bo nelf-convicted, by its roply of this morning, of using words in ignor unci; of their ordinary Bignifica tion, or, worse, of desorving tho judgment, "Evil bo to him that ovil thinks." That pretentious nhoot, by tho exhibition in ques tion, at least proves that its otymology is next to being as awry as its notoriously faulty orthography. Scarcely a day pusses but it employs both big and little wohIh that it has not learned to spell. This morning's 135110 is no exception. Its litera ry features are, to bo preeiso, "vulvar." NEW ST. MP ACT. Tt is sad to see the Star persist iu displaying reactionary tend encies, even if tho Advertiser hns nliown symptoms of also kicking ovor tho traces. Judging those papers by tho criterion thoy bought to establish themselves, they are in a bad way and liable to the pains of the P. O. press gag law still unrepealed. Not very long ago both tho Advertiser a ml tho Star had nothing but the epithets, "royalist," "rebel," "ob Hlructiouist," otc, with which to answer criticisms upon govern mental action or policy. Day be fore yostorday tho Star's charge of incompetency iu street-making against tho Government was noticed, and yestorday a muttered growl of the Advertiser against tho neglect of an important pub lic work. Tho Star is out now against tho potty recognition of ex-Minister Thurston in tho placing of his portrait on a post age stamp, a stamp indeed which is not for tho gouoral public's vul gar use. It is very unkind to its patrons in this matter, objecting to a sohomo by which they may raise monoy by cater ing to tho stamp-collecting specula tors. Tho Star does not say, if it bus it on its mind, that tho get ting up of an exclusive stamp for tin) Foreign office is in liuo of tho cxamplo sot by miserable cheats of countries in Central and South America and by obscuro, semr br.rbarous governments in islands of various Boas. No; that would be too rough. It contents itsolf with commeudiug the Hawaiian Govommont to tho oxmnplo of thoUnitod States,which does not permit the pioturo of a living person to bo priutod on a postuge Btamp. Yet it admits that .it was eilont when the American rule was ignorod in tho placing of President Dole's imago on a poBt ago stamp. Why should tho example-of another country be res peotod, anyway, bo long ns Ilawaii is independent? Lot tho Govom mont persovoro in its policy of procuring rovonuo from this moil orn kind of Btamp aot. Hero is a ouggestion that has millions iu it: Allow ovory individual citi zen to use a privato stamp on his correspondence, bearing his own or his grandinotbor's portrmt, I subject only to tho conditions that tho design bo registered, a foo of j any where from $fi0 to $500 a year bo paid for tho privilege, and, af- ' tor tho owner of tho dovico has paid for the plate, tho stamps bo i furnished through tho post office at face prico 1 COMING CRICKETERS. It is almost hoping ngahiBt hopo to expect an exhibition of scienti fic crickot from tho calling in of tho roturning Australian champ ions. No team could bo collected iu Honolulu which would bo nblo oven to mako faces at tho visitors. Tho time of tho Btoamor's arrival is uncertain. Being professional players tho Australians would hardly sacrifice tho timo of their welcome run on shore to amuso tho public without tho assurance of a goodly Baok of gato money, and it is doubtful if thero is enough interest iu tho game hore to fill tho grand stand nt short notice ovon to see tho ablest expo nents of cricket in tho world nt the wickets. If, howover, the local crickotors and any consider able number of others think it worth while -to mako an effort to securo an oxhibition, no timo should bo lost iu getting together and considering plans of action. Ono Bchomo that might work would bo to have two local ers choose teams, drawing natoly from tho visitors thoy wore all chosen and filling up with tho best play-altor-u 11 til then homo players. This would afford an exhibition of both the bowling nnd tho batting of tho champions, ovon if tho sido winning the toss should hold tho wickets for tho day. The baseball ground should bo secured nud tickets sold in ad vance provisionally, tho money to bo refunded if there should bo no game. It would probably bo a great thing for cricket in Hono lulu if n game could bo secured. Basoball horo was but rudely played, most popular though the gamoa were for many years, until Prank Hoogs brought n team of first-class players from tho Coast to expound its finer points. An oxhibition by tho Australian I playors might do as much for 1 cricket, which, although tamor for j tho spectators than basoball, is j Boconu to no otner neid sport as a moans of healthful exercise for tho playors. It is a game, more over, that has boen recommouded particularly to middle-aged men by tho medical faculty. Tho manngemout of tho Honolulu Cricket Club might at least con vene a gonoral meeting, invitiug all who may feel an interest in tho subject, to consider tho ques tion of trying to get nn exhibition from tho Australians. SECTIONALISM. A Democratic organ of San Francisco accuses tho Bopublican party of fomenting sectional dis cord in tho Union for party pur poses, Baying that "tho gold press of tho East as a whole is now ex hausting its energies sowing dra gon's tooth." Probably tho truth iB that the silver press of the West nnd South is equally guilty with its opponent in tho East on that scoro. It is the meanest resort of politicians any whore, to charge their opponents with want of sonso and patriotism. Many a party that has been so maligned has come to rule, nnd, to bo logical, tho party that had accused it of being an pnomy of the country would noed to assert thnt tho na tion was not fit for solf-govorn-mont. Enormous majorities all ono way in particular sections of tho United States at this elec tion would, nftor so much inu timl rocriminnlion as to sectional ism, oreato a most undesirable situation in tho Union, approach- ing almost within sight that which war had to rosolvo iu tho sixties. It is to bo hoped that thero will bo a splitting up of sections by tho voto, and that tho winning party will obtain its victory by ruodor ato majorities horo and thero iu different sections. Such a result would do moro than anything olso toward sterilizing tho alleged seed of dragon's teeth, bosides proving to tho world that tho American nation as a grand whole had de cided tho main questions at issue upon thoir pure morita. Thero is little fear of tho country's gomg altogether to tho bad as a result of either party's buccosb, .but tranquillity is apt to bo made loss securo if tho result should mean pronounced sectional domination. It is true that for a quarter of a century thoro was Northern domination, which, howover, 1b , not a parallol of what is now n 1 possibility, for that domination I was an effect of past trouble which timo was likely to over come, whereas sectional domina tion now (in entirely now lines of controversy is apt to bo tho cause of a difforent territorial division from tho formor one, which micht forobodo another "irroprossi iblo conflict.' A lato British paper has an ; item saying that tho terrible Ori ental disease, bori beri, haR broken out in 11 lunatic asylum in Dublin. There are between 20 and 30 cases. Thodisoaso first appeared there j two years ogo and, boing nttribut- i cd to overcrowding, the authori- ties decided to build a complement ary asylum nt a cost of about ono j million dollars. Official slowness has, howover, dolayed tho work, and the consequence is the formid able outbreak of tho malady re ported. To sustain tho Hawaiian His torical Socioty at anything like its initial vigor, somo action on tho part of its gonoral membership would seem to be necessary. Its recordB lag a year behindhand, and outy a handful of members now tuke an iuterest iu its pro ceedings.

The thing had been going for weeks, till one day a postal ar rived, addressed to Ar. Reid, ancj marked personal. It read as follows: "I'm getting awful tired of your questions. Why don't you Una OUt SOmetlling." A great newspaper is supposed to know eveiytlling, and OUght not to annoy its readers with needless inquiries. This morn ing you asked: "Will Mr. Piatt consent?" How the h-1 do I know? That night an order came that the Tribune must ask few er questions. In spite of Whitelaw Reid's experience we are tempted to ask the people of Hawaii a few leading questions, just an even half a dozen of them. Question 1 Have you seen the new improved American Meat and Vegetable Chop per? If you haven't it will pay you to call and take a look at it. It has an automatic rotarymove ment as well as the up and down chopping motion. They are simply and cheap and a child can operate them. Question 2 Have you seen the new Brass Bird Cages we have just received? They are beauties and they only cost from $2SO to MSO according to style. Question 2 Have you seen the Painted Bird Cages we are offering at $1.2$ to $2.00? Question 4 Have you seen the Hartman Steel Wire Mats we are offering? The rainy season is coming on and they are just what you want. They are cheap, cleanly and indestructible. Question $ Have you seen the Rain Gauges we have lately imported? With one of these little instruments you can laugh at the Clerk of the Weather and give him a point er after every storm. Question 6 Haveyou seen the latest thing out? It is a portable bootblack stand, made of iron, which can be screwed to a post anywhere and moved in any direction. Must be seen to be appreciated.
