WHERE IS THE QRIEVANCE ?
Mr. Bice, one of the non-commissioned
ofiicers of the Boston,
writes this morning complaining
of an item which appeared in yesterday'.-!
Advertiser, and which
he claims, is grossly unjust. The
item in question is as follows :
A number of American sailors rode
through the streets yesterday in a
wagonette. They sang- patriotic
songs and otherwise enjoyed them
selves. They will not have another
opportunity for sometime, as it is
understood that no shore liberty
will be allowed for a period of thirty
days.
Now, where does the grievance
come in? The Advertiser is cer
tainly the last paper in the world
to comment unfairly or invidiously
on the conduct of American sailmgf
But r',nn" -ii)iirfT """"
, ,j"nT mil , iiKe oiners,
not superior to the weak
nesses to which frail humanity is
subject. One of these is the pro
pensity to take a drop too much.
It would certainly not be just to
report the excesses of our British
friends while leaving the peccadil
loes of the Americans out of ac
count. Reputable newspapers en
deavor to report facts, without
regard to political prepossessions,
and the practice of the Advertiser
is in accordance with this principle.
THE NEW FIRE LAW.
The Fire Bill has become a law,
and its full text is published in this
morning's issue of the Advertiser.
The measure represents a genuine j
reform, and will be hailed as such
by the majority. Honolulu has be-
come a city of sufficient size to re
quire a regular paid department,
which will not cost more than the
volunteer system, while its effi
ciency should certainly not be less.
We cordially recognize the valu
able service rendered by the Vol
unteer Department for many years
past. It has had many efficient
engineers, many devoted firemen,
and we believe the quality of
its work to have been on the whole
of a high order. It has become,
however, a rank political hotbed,
and some of the companies were the
center of a great deal of activity
which had nothing at all to tlo
with their duties as firemen. The
abating of this nuisance will be re
garded with a feeling of general
satisfaction.
It is a pity that the services of
Mr. Asch as Chief Engineer could
not be retained. He wTas sincerely
devoted to the public interest and
zealous in the discharge of his
-duties. Wc have, however, no
quarrel with his successor, and we
believe he will prove a capable
engineer.
SUNDAY LIOXOR SELLING.
There is a law in this country
prohibiting the sale of liquor on
Sunday. It is a good law, and
should be enforced. It has not
been very strictly carried out in
the past such laws, unhappily,
seldom are ; and it is well under
stood that there has been no great
difficulty in getting a drink in this
city, whatever the day of the week.
Liquor-selling of the kind re
r rred to has generally been secret
in manner and discreet as to the
amount sold. Last Sunday, an
exception to the rule of prudence ,

is the view taken by Marshal Ash

saloon from which it is claimed'
the liquor wa3 furnished. Last
Sunday there was, it is said, not
only gin Mowing from bottles, but
beer from the capacious barrel.
Marshal Ashley think- it i- time
this should be stopper.
No effort was made under the
late police regime to stop Sunday j
selling, and Marshal Ashley will
deserve great credit if he succeeds
in putting an end to it now.

An Appeal For Justice.
U. S. S. "Mohican," i
Flagship Pacific Station, ,
j Honolulu, II. I., Feb. '27, U.)2.S
' Mr. Editor : Monday's issue of
the Advertiser published an arti
cle reflecting on the conduct of men
from the American war ships while
on liberty last Sunday.
Just to show the Advertiser that
it has taken a step in the wrong
direction I will here inform him
that not one of all the newspapers
of the United States would be so
unjust as to speak of men-of-wars-men
in a general way condemning
all for the actions of a few. I will
also volunteer the information that
there is good and bad in all things
as was conclusively prPfJnDythe
late Uiu..rovergy in the
"""SdT&tates.
It may be that some of the very
religious were shocked yesterday ;
but, then, some people get shocked
when they see an ice cream
parlor open cn Sunday. This time
I speak from experience. Yester
day, as myself and a friend werr
coming out of an ice cream parlor,
two passers-by made the remark
(evidently intended for our ears),
that it was a shame those places
were allowed to keep open on Sun
days, as there was no telling what
was sold there.
Do the majority of Honolulu citi
zens take all men-of-war's men for
drunks? If so we object, and hope
our vessels will soon leave these
waters.
Again, I wish to impress upon
some of the Honolulu people I met
while driving yesterday, that it
would not have taken a very close
observer to notice noses turn up as
I we approached and passed them
! r ii. .. :r
And I suppose the uniform was
responsible for it all. But people
in civilian dress commit themselves
sometimes. I treated the Adver
tiser man to all the information of
the Washington birthday affair and
I most earnestly hope he will re
turn the courtesy by informing the
people of Honolulu that we have
relatives and friends in the United
States (if we have none here) who
would blush to read an article, no
matter how small, that touched our
character.
The thirty days quarantine we
can bear without a murmur, but
slander we can not.

What Willett t- Gray's Sugar
Circular Says.
The most notable fact of the j
week has been the receipt of news j
from the Sandwich Islands oi a
revolution in the islands, which has
overthrown the government of the
Queen and placed in power a Pro
visional Government of the people,
which has sent a delegation to the
United States for the purpose of
procuring the annexation of the
islands to the United States. Al
though there is a difference of
opinion as to the ultimate success
of this project, yet the majority
appear to think that it will be suc
cessful. The main object of the
islands in asking for this annexa
tion is, of course, that they may
procure the 2 cent bounty on sugar.
On the part of the United States
there are, undoubtedly, many good
reasons in favor of control of the
islands, and inasmuch as the con
tinuation of the bounty law is a
matter of serious doubt, it may be
as well for the United States to
take advantage of this favorable
opportunity for securing the isl
ands. It would please a great
many people much better, however,
if the proposal for annexation had
come to us from the island of Cuba.
That is the island which would
prove of immense value to the Uni- j
ted States, arid we can conceive of 1
no sum of monev that would be too
large for the United States to pay
for its purchase, provided it ever
becomes a question f purchase.

Party of

Dinner was served at G :30. The
table was beautifully decorated
with flowers, a magnificent bunch
of bigonias being the center piece.
Mr. Lucas, formerly steward of the
Hawaiian Hotel, was the caterer,
and the menu was a masterpiece.
Its discussion, agreeably varied
with conversation, kept the com
pany at table from G :30 until 9.
No wine was served, but Apollinaris
furnished a sparkling substitute.
The menu cards the work of a
son of Capt. Mist were a model of
delicacy and ingenuity. Each rep
resented a yacht, painted in water
colors on cardboard covered with
tapa.
The Hawaiian Quintette Club
was in attendance and furnished
music from the veranda. There
was plenty of conversation, but no
politics. The following was the
menu :

SOME FRESH SAIT.ORS.
Thy Attempt to Bulldoze the
Captain of an American
Schooner'.
Capt. II. Pillz, of the American
schooner Robert Searles, had trou
ble with his second mate and five
of the crew yesterday. Five of the
troublesome men are Britishers,
whom Capt. Piltz shipped at Aus
tralia on his present voyage. The
unpleasant attitude of the sailors
was first noticed on Sunday even
ing at sunset, when the British
sailors refused to haul down the
American flag.
Yesterday morning, the men
went to the captain and demanded
that they should be paid before
the vessel is discharged, or, in
other words, they refused to work
any longer on the vessel. The
captain replied that he could not
grant their request. The discon
tented men then left the vessel and
went direct to the U. S. Consulate
to lay their case before that offi
cial. Consul-General Severance
after listening to their tale, ordered
the men to return to their vessel to
work, and only the second mate
was allowed to receive his pay.
The sailors returned to their
vessel, but after taking a look at
. their raft for n few moments they
1 went up tu aiMin to enjoy the
rest of the day.
