AN UNHAPPY RETORT.
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

Before Wllitelaw R'eid be
I came Minister to France he
j devoted a d dea, of hs
... . .. ... f
me " V'
per, me 1 riDune. 1 nu cupy
editors who put up the head
lines of stories of the day fell
into the habit of making most
of them interrogative as, for
instance, "Was it murder or
suicide?" or "Did she kill him
for love?" or "Will the Presi
dent sign it?" etc.
The whole paper was speck
led with interrogative points.
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. Complete
with brushes, two kinds of
blacking, etc., only 2.0.
