CLARK PIERSON, Editor. LA.MBERTVILLE. N. J. The Inauguration. John W. Griggs was inaugurated Gov ernor of New Jersey yesterday. The largest crowd ever drawn to Trenton on such an occasion was present. The pa rade of clubs from Essex, Hudson, Cam den, Mercer, etc., was a great, enthus iastic and attractive one, there being about six thousand men in line, accom panied by numerous bands. Hunterdon sent a large delegation, but they were not properly organized and did not appear in the ranks. The new Governor took the oath ot office in Taylor Opera House at 12 o’ clock. His inaugural address was an ex cellent and able one, showing that he is to be no man’s man, and intends to do that which he believes is for the interests of the whole people. The Legislature.

No one doubts but that ttie remark is true of Jersey City, where, figuratively speaking, every second building almost is a saloon. Hut are the people not directly responsi ble for the evil, not only by their liberal patronage of the grog shops, but by elect ing unfit men to carry out the laws, who defy them and encourage their violation. The people of Jersey City are greatly in need of an awakening, and in no direction more than that indicated by the Ereuing Journal. “The Common People,** As Abraham Lincoln called them, do not care to argue about their ailments. Wbat they want is a medicine that will cure them. The simple, honest statement, “I know that Hood’s Sarsaparilla cured me,” is the best argument in favor of this med icine, and this is what many thousands voluntarily say. Hood’s Pills are the best after-dinner pills, assist digestion, cure headache. 25 cents. Sixteen million dollars is a mere baga telle to some persons, but it represents wbat the millions of this country have lost In the last year on account of the smashing of the reciprocity policy by a Democratic Congress. HAWAII, THE "PEARL OF THE PACIFIC.” The Second of a Series ol Letters l>y Jolin R. Bfnslck. AGTI10R OF “THE COLOMBIAN HISTORICAL NOVELS,” “BROTIIER AGAINST BROTHER,” ETC., ETC. (Copyright, 1896, by Funk A Waqwalls Company, New York.) The City of Honolulu.-A Bit of its Hifltory. and a. Climb up to the “Punch Bowl.” Honolulu dateB Us existence as a town from 1810. Before tliis date it was a mere flsbing village. At the time men tioned there were several white men on the Islands, among them one John Young, whose romantic career almost rivals that of Captain John Smith. Young bad been a mate on the American vessel Eleanor, and had been captured by King Kameha meha, together with a sailor named Davis, from a little schooner, the Fair American. The commander and all his crew, save Davis, were killed by the savages, Kam chumcba sparing Young and Davis only because they were expert in the use of fire-arms. When all of the islands had been brought under the control of Kame hamcha, John Young was made governor of Hawaii, the largest island of the group. Young was a man of more than ordi nary ability. He became a true subject of Kamehameha, and hia successor on the throne. In 1815 he advised the erection of a fort at Honolulu, to command the harbor. He was given full power to di rect its construction, and, early in Janu ary, 1810, the fort was begun and com pleted the same year. This fort was nearly square, measuring between three and four hundred feet on a side, with walls about twelve feet high and twenty feet thick. It was built of bard rock and bad embrasures for cannon. It stood on the seaward side of what is now Queen street, and across the lower part of Fort street. About forty guns—six, eight and twelve pounders—were afterward mount ed, and tbo fort placed under the com mand of Captain Beckley. In November, 1820, tho king moved his court to Honolulu, Mr. Thurston and his wife, two pioneer missionaries, accompa nying him. Ever since, Honolulu lias been the scat of government for the islands. In the arternoon of the day of my ar rival I decided to lake a stroll about Ibis beautiful little city of the tropics aod “see the eights. ” These “sights” are well worth crossing a continent and an ocean to see. They are such as no pen can describe, no came ra depict, no painter place on canvass. The beauties and blessings which nature has so abundantly bestowed on these is lands must be seen to be appreciated. Perhaps tin; most beautiful tree in the world is the Hoyal 1’alm, which grows on the Sandwich Islands. In her forthcom ing book, eutitled “Around the World with the White Ribbon,” Mrs. Mary (Jle ment Leavitt says: “The Royal Palm, introduced here from the West Indies, combining the beauty of architecture In Its perfectly symmetrical, highly polished and beautifully colored columnar trunk, with the swaying grace of its long plume like leaves, easily lakes a place second to none in the world.” Her description is neither overdrawn nor incoriect. 80 smooth and symmetri cal nre these “columnar trunks” that a gentleman who was with me, asked a cit izen if they did not scrape the bodies of the trees, or sand paper them. There are few residences In the city which are not surrounded with palms. The city Is rich in vegetation. The houses • W »<-»«' «K '< H j w 4 itup JUIU^I JtH very picturesque, and the grounds are ample. The llonoluiuan thinks more of Ids law ns than of his house. The ap proach to the house is generally through a veritable flower garden. Usually there is an avenue of palms, between which are numerous plants, or shrubs, crimson, Ver million and gold. A tall cactus often reaches the height of twenty feet, with flowers of every hue, and the banana spreads its broad leaves before you. Or anges, dates and figs grow in the yards and gardens. Almost everything is trop ical. A few plants, trees, and flowors may be seen, which grow also in a colder clime, but they reach such gigantic pro portions, and aro of such gorgeous colors as to be hardly recognizable. Great trees that look as though they might have had fifty years of growth, were planted by penplo who arc still in middle age. Walk into one of the numerous yards where plants and trees, and vines are growing, as though on their uative soli, and you will find that every one of them has been Imported within a comparatively receut period. Almost every quarter of the sub tropical world has been laid under tribute. Here Ib the rubber tree, the banyan, the baobab, the litchee, the avocado, the man go, and palms innumerable. Here also, are the brilliant and gaudy banyain vill tea, the prolific plumeria, the night-bloom ing cereus, and the bright and attractive crotons. We have in this nn illustration of the beneficent transformations effected by the enterprise of the foreigners in Ha waii. From the days of Vancouver, the foreign residents hare been tireless in introducing ornamental and useful plants. A smooth path of crushed and cinder like lava usually leads from the front gate to the residence, which is almost hidden in its gorgeous surroundings of rich trop ical verdure. There are a thousand shady nooks and cool retreats inviting one to come in and rest from the dust and heat. I lie bouses or the Americans are the most imposing and beautiful, excepting only the public buildings. They arc most beautifully decorated with the greatest va riety of trees, flowers, plants and shrubs, tastefully painted and ornamented. The native Hawaiian also paints bis bouse, and gives much care to the ornamentation of bis grounds, while the Chinaman’s bouse is unpainted, but picturesque in its Ori ental style of architecture. Chinese houses in Honolulu are built just as they are in Hong Kong. They are usually two stories in height, small and quaint, with the bal cony fronting on the street. At almost every hour you can see the almond eyed Celestial with bis Oriental dress even to the sauce-pan shaped bam boo hat, a long pole on his shoulder with a weight on each end that would stagger a common man, jogging along at a dog trot, a pace at which he never seems to weary. Long experience has made him skilful in carrying large burdens. While passiug a Chinese restaurant in company with several of my acquaintan ces, we were startled by a crash, and im mediately there was such a commotion among the Ja|,s aud Chinamen that one might have supposed the Chtno-Japanese War had broken out afresh. Buddenly a sailor from the U. 8. man-of-war Ben nington name bouncing through the crowd with a native policeman boldiug to each arm. Nearly all the police of Honolulu are natives or Kanakas, and fine, lusty look ing fellows. When they get hold of one, it requires strength and dexterity to get away. The young blue jacket tried to get in “a right-hander” on them, but bis right band was caught. He then tried to gel in “left-hander,” but again failed, and was forced out into the street, and started off to the station-house. “I won’t walk,” be roared. “I belong to the American Navy, and it won’t be said I was ever led by any black son of a gun of a Kanaka.” “Won’t you walk f" asked one of his captors. “No.” “Then you shall ride,” and he called a carriage, lltey bounced the tipsy sailor into it, ui.d away lie went merrily singing: “A life on the ocean wave.” He bad im bibed freely, and bis offense consisted in amusing himself by throwing bier bottles at the head of the proprietor. The native police of Honolulu are said to make fairly good officers. I was sur prised to find so many Kanakas holding office. In nearly every department of tbe government were native cieras and officers. In the evening we wandered to a beau tiful park named “Emma Square,” in honor of Queen Emma, who is known as the “good and just queen." Here tbe Hawaiian band was assembled, and dis coursed some of the sweetest music I ever listened to. The Hawaiians are excellent musicians, and there are many Hawaiian airs composed by the natives, some of which are really beautiful. When first discovered they had several musical in struments, one of which was a nose pipe, played by blowing through it with the nose. Fort street is the Broadway of Hono lulu. From it branch oft numerous streets leading to the right and left. One thing is peculiar in Honolulu. No regard is paid to tlie points of the compass. Tbe terms milkai toward the sea, or manka toward tbe mountains, are used. Kwa means on the right and maikiki for the left. Thu9 the Hawaiian Hotel is on tbe monka side of Hotel street ewa of Hicb ard street. I am told that these terms are even used in surveying lands. There is not a street laid out or house built with any regard to the cardinal points of tbe compass. While wandering in the suburbs of the city I came in sight of a field of what at first seemed corn. “ Green corn in No vember,” I thought. It is not possible.” Determined to investigate, I.entered the field and came upon tall, broad-leaved vegetation which was a puzzle to me. I hailed an intelligent-looking Hawaiian and asked : “Will you tell me what kind of vege tation this is 1 ” He looked sad, shook his head, and, with a noise like a a squirrel eating hick ory nuts, passed on. The next specimen of the genus homo was an honest-looking Chinaman. “ My celestial friend, can you pro nounce the name of this vegetation ? ” “No savch 1 ” John sighed and passed on. I was growing almost desperate in my bewilderment, when a dark-visaged son of Italy appeared. “I beg your pardon, stranger, but can you inform me if that rank vegetation is a field of exaggerated horseradish, or some species of tropical melon! ” With a look of contempt he answered : “ Sat ze banan 1” lne mystery was solved al last, l re membered then having seen large ba nana trees in some of the yards, but with out knowing what they were. The next morning I awoke to find it raining, but in tho afternoon the skies became clear. The streets of Honolulu are not as well paved and drained as they might be. After a rain they present fully as bad an appearance as do the thorough fares cf New York, Chicago, or St. Louis. Somo streets are paved with a sort of cement resembling asphalt, but many are not paved at all. After a rain the bent seems doubly intenso for a disagree able steam arises which makes one sigh for the good old days in Hawaii when people did not wear clothes. This dis comfort lasts only a short time, however. The streets dry quickly, and a gentle cooling breezo fans the heated face. Jnst back of the city of Honolulu a mountain rears its head several hundred feet in the uir. From soma supposed re semblance to that artielo the mountain is called the Punch llowl. Tourists in variably scale Us lofty heights, from which a grand bird's-eye view may be ob tained of the city, bay, shipping, and whole surrounding country. Like all other tourists I determined to pay tho Pouch Howl a visit, and as I learned that many tourists bad walked tv/ Aid a.s A ots Uwt wUu uiuiuiUg Oil foot. As 1 left the city and entered upon the long winding road which leads up to the dizzy height, many of the busy little Japs and Chinese cast curious glances at mo, and from the vine-clad cottages along the way I caught occasional glimpses of dark-eyed maidens peeping shyly forth from trellised vines. At last, wearied with traveling over a road which seemed to have no end, I be gan to cast glances up the steep sides of the Punch liowl and debate In my own mind the possibility of scaling it. Deter mined to make the trial, 1 left the road and started up the mountain side. A few shrubs nnd little coarse grass with loose crumbling stones were all I at first en countered, but booh a new obstacle pre sented itself in the form of a thorny shrub called lantana. It is a species of mesquite, and is ruinous to the clothes, and uncomfortable to tho skin. It is a hardy plant,—triumphs over droulb, and flourishes in a flood. It thrives alike in rich soil, poor soil, stony ground, and where there is a little or no soil at all. Tlie most skilled botanist has never been able to find a single use for lantana. No animal will eat it. The islanders have more to fear from lantana than filibus ters or tlie restoration of monarchy. It spreads like contagion, and defies plow and hoe. It is nearly indestructible. I have becu told that if you cut it down, each joint will start n separate new plant; If you grub it out, it will come agaiu, and if you burn it, it will rise liko the phenix, triumphant from Its ashes. If 1 had an enemy whom 1 wished to do a mortal injury, I would sow lan tana in his fields. [Sometimes hull buried in II119 noxious plant, 1 struggled blindly up the mountain side. At last, making my way across a sort of a ravine to some rocks blackened by time, I sat down nimost out of breath to rest. My hold on the rocks was slight. I bad scarcely six inches of space to cling to, and below me yawned a chasm fifty feet deep. There was no breeze on this side of tho mountain, and the rays of the sun wore excccuiogiy warm. bo, as soon as I It ml partially recovered my breath, I resumed my toilsome journey to the top. I afterward learned there was a path on the west side of mountain which, tho steep, is accessible to foot travelers. As seen from the top of the Punch Bowl Honolulu presents a charming picture. The little city, half hidden in the dense foliage of the tropics, has a shy, coquetish appearance. 1 was willing to return by a beaten path and less precipitous route. On the way I paused to gaze upon n squad of convicts at work on the road. The uniform of the Hawaiian convict varies according to the offense with which he is charged. If it is only a misdemeanor, he wears a suit one half of which is blue, tho other brown. If he is convicted of a felony, his garb is black and white striped, the stripes being perpendicular instead of horizontal, as is the uniform of most of the prisoners in the United States. But one of this squad wore striped clothes. John H. Mcsiok. Important Facts.
