SHORT MEMORIES.
This paper took up tho advoca
cy of annexation in a special way
at about even dato with tho ro
Tived movement now under way.
It was no change excepting in
point of activity. As a matter of
fact the subject of annexation had
for long up to that time received
but scant attention from any par
ty or press. Many of tho earliest
rdherenls of iho cause including
some whoso forwardness as such
secured them snug offices
had begun to urgua ugaiust
annexation and in favor of inde
pendence. From tho first issue
of tho present teries of tho Bul
LKTi.V, however, not an article has
appeared in it opposed to annexa
tion. ' his journal has, on tho
contrary, constantly kopt pro
minent tho fundamental naturo of
this item of national policy. Its
maintained freedom to criticise
general details of thu admiuistra
tion should only emphasize, with
iko.ighthtl poople, the constancy
of its courst" in regard to the car
dinal aim of thifi republic. The
Uullkti.v even iu its oldest series
was really tho prophet of annexa
tion, holding with frequency that,
when the monarchy should bo
come no longer tenable, tho
Unitod States would bo the natur
al and rightful harbor of refuge
for Hawaii. It is true that
this papor has been against
tho raising of falso hopes re
garding annexation, as iu tho
caso of the absurd contention that
the evasive reference to Hawaii in
tho Republican platform declaring-
simply for a "control" that
had. already been established
many years meant a committal
of that party v hou it came into
power to tho annexation of those
islands. Au intimation in the
Bulletin some time ago, that it
would propound r. foasiblo echemo
of political union, was shortly fol
lowed by the submission of a
oohenio involving tho legislation
by tho American Cougrcss of a
sort of colonial system, which
should not only fit the case of
Hawaii but of other countries that
dosliny may, in tho near future,
bring within tho moral obliga
tions of the United States to gov
ern or at least protect. Mauy
mon of mind have conceded the
theory to bo a good one, but at
tho sauio timo expressed tho
opinion, fouuded on tho known
conservatism of American politics,
Unit thore oro quicker modes of
attaining tho oml in view thnu
awaiting tho adoption of n colouial
system by tho United States. Tho
foregoiug assertions of fact res
pecting tho Bulletin's position
which could bo fortified by others
tiro submitted with a challongo
to disproof, for tho especial Bene
fit of all whoso interest it seoins to
bo to cultivnto shortness of me
mory. AN UNTRUTH CORRECTED.
Them has been no presentation
of tho Annexation Club's roll to
omployees of tho BuLLliTlN, un
der any tho olightcst constraint,
for siguature. A copy of tho roll
as a mutter of course lies in the
ollico of one of thu proprietors,
ho being a mombor of tho execu
tive of the club, and has been
voluntarily signed by some of tho
business staff. The editor find
ing tho scroll accidentally nndor
his hand promptly signed it, as a
rogistored elector of this Repub
lic from its early days aud a
mombor of the Amorican Union
party since its organization.
When tho Bulletin, in its last
previous series, was holding out
for restoration of tho monarchy
by tho United States Government,
iu reparation of the disavowed
action of its ugeuts in overthrow
ing it by armed force, its em
ployers were nil awed the utmost
freedom of action. Tho native
Hawaiian foromau of tho Bulle
tin joined the original Annexa
tion Club, aud carried a torch in
the procession organized in faro I
well to Minister Stevens. This
mau's action was not resented
audit was only out ofcuiiosily
that ho was even asked to explain
his motive. HiB answer wus
satisfactory in its manliness, and
ho was permitted in peace to
make his honest livelihood from
"royalist" employ. "1 considered
tho futuro welfare of my chil
dron," was tho simple explana
tion. which DAY?
Latoly the London Times dis
cussed with elaboration tho ques
tion, not altogether now, as to
whether tho ii"xt century would
begin with tho year 1900 or 1901.
It decided iu effect that if the dat
ing figures of each year are cardi
nal numbers tho presont century
will end with Deo nbor ill, 1899,
but if they nro to be takou as ord
inal numbers like the days of the
mouth tho century will pass with
the last day of 1900. In othor words:
Was the first year of the Christ
iau era to bo written 0 or 1?
Tho Times favors tho ordiual
numeration, which makes tho
glorionsXIX. close at midnight of
December 31, 1900. It is prob
ably right in its conclusion, but an
ignorant man up a treo would like to
nsk why tho astronornors, who can
fix tho day and tho hour of a
solar or a lunar eclipso a thousand
years in oithor tho past or tho
future, cannot inform us whether
we aro living in the 358th day of
tho 189titb or the 1897th year of
tho Christiau era, counting by tho
revolutions of tho earth round tho
sun.
It is tho cordial hop of tho Sau
Francisco Chronicle that tho do
siro of Hawaii for a uablo will
soon bo gratified, as tho valuo of
such a means of communication
to tho United States would bo very
groat. Tho author of so wondrous
kind and unselfish a sentiment
must t'eol the sproutiugs of his
augol plumage.
Sau Fiancisco lawyers aro ro
vorting to primitive ways. Ouo
struck at another with his fist in
court tho other day. Tho judge
said such conduct was reprehen
sible, but ho didn't fiuo the praeti
tionor for not having a pistol on
him.

Thero wero twenty eight cases
on tho cateudar this morning and
all but three of tho defendants
wero charged with opium in po
session. Ju many of the eiiMe
where there were two or three de
fondants onn of them pd-mied
guilty and tho others wvu- nob-,
pros.'d. Whether they all chip
ped in afterwards ami helped puj
tho $50 fines of the scapegoats
does not appear on tho record,
and, as one of the cfiVctB of tho
use of opium seems to bo to ol(-r
tho mouths of its do voices, will
probubly never bo knowi. Thoie

Nick Hiu and Ah Chaw. In tho

Chin Cook, who pleaded guilty
of the same offense, had his sen

to allow of his leaving the country
in tne meant imo.
Kaili, a confirmed potty larceny
thief, was given a Christmas box
behind theear iu tho shape of a
seuteuco of six mouths' hard
labor.
Cupid Kalauiauaole was the
next to face the stern majesty of
tho law. Cupid was charged with
assaulting Collector Lloyd of tho
Electric Light Works when the
latter, to use n common expression.
"shoved a bill in his face." Cupid
pleaded "guilty with extenuating
circumstances," claiming that
Lloyd insulted him without cause
in presenting tho bill. His Hon
or, without going into further par
ticulars, mado it nn even So fine
and knocked off tho costs.
After fining Leo 20 for ped
dliug chefa tickets Judge Wilcox
