TUESDAY. : FEBRUARY 20, 1885,
C03TSFIBACY HATCHING PROVKT.
On the 17th day ok-November
last the Advertiser published the
details, at leDgth, of a conepiracy
for the overthrow of the Govern
ment. It w&a not generally cred
ited in this community, and an
evening paper was quite swift to
pronounce it a 4 fake.
Recent events, however, enow
that the etatement was substan
tially true, and that the Attorney
General and the Marshal were jus
tified in giving it credit, to a certain
extent.
The natne3 of the conspirators
were, purposely, not given by the
Advertiser, but recent revelations
prove that the author of the state
ment was correct in his declaration
of names.
The account of a meeting at San
Souci, about September 1st, was
correctly given, and a majority of
the persons present are now con
victed and are in stripes. The
conspiracy covered the plan of
sending men to San Francisco for
the purchase of arms and ammuni
tion, in November, and it was
stated in the meetings that one
or more prominent men of this
city, identified with the royalist
cause, would liberally contribute
money for that purpose. The con
fession of any one of the persons
present would, just now, make
highly interesting reading, espe
cially the report of the transactions
of the "committee on armament,"
and the replies they received.
Soon after, several persons con
nected with the business left
for the Coast. A communication
from one of them fell into the
wrong hands, and throws some
light on the subject. Perhaps Mr.
W. H. Cornwell, who is in San
Francisco, may be in a position to
make an extremely interesting
statement on the subject of the
ways and means of overturning the
Republic. We are not disputing,
for a moment, his innocence of any
evil intent toward this Government,
but he may have, accidentally,
some information which will aid
those engaged in hiitorical re
searches. The plan of attack agreed upon
by the conspirators, included the
landing of arms at Sans Souci, and
the arming of men at that point.
How far this plan of attack was a
part of the final plan, carried out
on January 6th, of this year, has
not yet been settled. There ap
pears to have been several "storm
centers" of revolt. But they were
connected more or less.
It was perhaps natural that the
public did not take much stock in
the revelations published in the
Advertiser. This paper regarded
the etatement as substantially cor
rect, but did not believe that any
overt acts would be committed. It
did not believe the natives, of
themselves, would rise. Events
folly justify this belief. It be
lieved that white men, of ordinary
intelligence, would not take risks
with the odds' so greatly against
them.
They did, however, and the sin
gular fact is now apparent that
many of the white men are in diffi
culty because they did not kuow of
a simple proposition of law, that
knowledge of a crime is in iteelfa
crime. They intended to take the
royalist chestnuts out of the fire
with the paw 8 of the poor kanaka.
But they failed to see that the
hands which held the paws were
covered with the cuiit that
smirched the paws.
LESSONS OP THE ELBE TRAGEDY.

true, that the average commu

We of the nineteenth century are
wont to glory over the progress in
art, science and the comforts of
life generally; the rapidity of
travel and the safety attending our
going and coming, due to new im
provements, and yet hardly a year
goes by that does not add some
new horror to the list of catas
trophes that demonstrates how
incomplete are our most trust
worthy safeguards in construction
and how necessary is eternal vigi
lance on the part of the great car
riers to assure a comfortable degree
of safety to the patronizing public.
The ruthlees destruction of hu
man life caused by the sinking
of the Elbe brings to mind that the
non-sinkable ship has yet to be
constructed, the water-tight com
partments proving of little avail on
this occasion ; that the average
ship's crew as now made up, is not
to be depended upon to look to the
eafety of anyone but tbem?elves in
time of danger, and that in conse
quence of improvements in con
struction the tendency is to belittle
the recognized value of properly
manned boats and life-rafts. The
ship's crew, outside the officers of
course, which one sees on the ocean
steamere, i3 made up practically
the scum of the earth, picked up
here and there, driftwood of human
ity. The story of the Elbe horror
shows that the passengers obeyed
the orders of the officers, and the
crew did not, looking only to
save their own lives. How often
do ocean travelers watch a farcical
boat drill and know only too well
that in many an instance the boats
are practically bound to the davit
blocks by mst, and, on touching
the water, stand a good chance of
being unseaworthy. Simply be
cause no serious accident has hap
pened in which the inefficiency of
men and boats was shown, for
many years, is no criterion for rele
gating this form of preserving life
to the position of a mere ornament,
or sentimental necessity of the
steamer's make-up.
Familiaritybreed8 contempt, to
be surej but the great corporations
holding thousands of lives and the
happiness of hundreds of homes in
their hands, cannot afford to wink
at the dangers forever attending
ocean travel. They cannot afford
to man their 6hips with irrespon
sible seamen, or send out small
craft like the Crathie that are more
to be feared than floating wrecks
or icebergs. There is a point be
yond which the public will cease
to be long-suffering and kind ;
when the traveler will refuse to
trust, his chances of life or death to
a shin's crew utterly devoid of
moral or physical courage

The Times, always anxious to
discover the worst motive, intimates
that there ia a Maine job in the
Hawaiian uproar. Nonsense. It is
nothing worse than childish silli
ness provoked by Mr. Cleveland's
former spitefulness toward a batch
of Maine's favorite sons. Let the
silliness proceed j it is better than
currency tinkering. N. Y. Adver

Thre has been a drad in
the minds of some people here
during the past two or three
years, that the British Lion
would put its paw on the
Islands, and force people to be
Britons when they wanted to
be something else, anything
else in fact than citizens of an
independent government. If
we draw the correct inference
from the dispatches received
by the Warrimoo, England
will act in concert with the
United States in so far as any
Hawaiian policy is concerned.
Metaphorically speaking the
Lion and the Eagle will roost
on the same tree and from an
exalted perch will watch their
respective subjects on Hawaii
with their usual care. The
strangest part of it all appears
to be in the fact that England
will do in the matter of politic
al prisoners just what the
United States does; which, on
the score of age at least, looks
very much like the tail wagg
ing the dog.
There are windmills and
windmills, some of them re
volve in the wind and some
require the assistance of a
steam engine. You can find
both kinds in this country' but
the Aermotor is the one that
goes with the wind. You take
the sort that is erected on the
Insane Asylum grounds and
the wind" has very little effect
upon it; that's the kind that
requires the assistance of a
steam engine. Look at the
one a little further on at
Kamehameha school or yet a
little further still at Luther
Wilcox's poi plantation and
you find Aermotors that run
in light winds or heavy, and
pay the owners a good re
turn for adopting something
modern. We sell Aermotors,
lots of them, and the people
who use them are satisfied;
people who use other makes
of windmills are not.
Among the good things for
sugar planters nothing is bet
ter than the sugar land imple
ments we are selling. Take
the cane land Cultivators for
instance, we have sold a
number of these to Hawaiian
planters, and have even ship
ped them to New Zealand,
where they are used with the
greatest satisfaction. The
Fertilizer Distributor, in this
same line of implements.is one
of the best things a manager
can have on a plantation be
cause it saves both labor and
material. One man with one
of these distributors can ac
complish in one day the work
of nine men and save money
besides in material.
"Another equally good ma
chine is the Stubble Digger,
also in use on most of the
plantations on Hawaii, where it
is giving the planters more
joy than they have ever before
experienced from the use of
an agricultural implement.
We have a large stock of
these articles and we expect
to sell them. Planters are be
ginning to realize that they
cannot afford to do without
them.

' Sib: I have discovered a virtue in
your "Honey and Almond Cream,"
not mentioned in the book attached
to the case. My four year old boy waa
stung by a wasp on the top of his
fiDger. While waiting for some one
to bring Pond's Extract, I put the
ringer in the neck of a bottle of
"Cream." The pain stopped instantly,
and with big tears on his cheeks tbe
little fellow said, "I want to kiss the
man who gave me that bottle." I
have since used it for bites of mos
quitos and other insects with equal
success. I would be glad for others
to have the benefits of my experience.
