'4 THE PACIFIC COMMERCIAL ADVERTISER : HONOLULU, MA 1S9S, THE PACIFIC Commercial Advertiser. W. N. ARMSTRONG EDITOR TUESDAY MAY 3. THE ATTACK OX THE JUEKN KM MA. LATE It is a pity that some one does not translate into the native language some portions of the book recently published by Liliuokalani. The natives ought to be well informed about the untruthful, malicious, and libellous charges she makes against the late Queen Emma. In this book, Ilawaiians, Jiliuokalani charges that Queen Emma constantly watched Lunalilo, and beg ged him to make herself his successor. She calls Queen Emma indelicate and Bays Lunalilo would make 'no reply. She charges that Queen Emma was constantly engaged in intrigues against King Kalakaua; that she never recovered from her disappointment, after she failed to be elected Queen in preference to Kalakaua. She not only makes a strong effort in this hook to injure the reputation of Queen Emma, to present her as a low-bred, cunning deceitful creature, but she goes further than this. She seriously states that Queen Emma was not equal to herself in rank. If the native Ilawaiians have any reverence, it is for the rank of their chiefs. On that point they never need ed to be instructed. Their geneologies were the precious literature of the peo ple. Their songs preserved every item and detail of royal history. When Liliuokalani tells the natives that Queen Emma was, in fact, a person of inferior rank to herself, she strikes at native sentiment and literature. There was not the least occasion for her attack on the reputation of a charming woman, who was deeply re spected by foreigner and native, and whose rank was fixed long before Lili uokalani chose to marry not within her own race but out of it. In this, if in nothing else, Queen Emma was -more loyal and true to her own race than this malicious ex-Queen, just as we believe that an American girl is more loj'al to her own people, when she marries an American and not an Italian or Frenchman. Queen Emma did, by Hawaiian cus tom represent the Kamehamehas. The reasons why Lunalilo did not appoint her as his successor need not be dis cussed here. The natives know that she did not go a begging for the Throne. Nor will we go into the history of Kalakaua's election, organized and carried out most successfully by the late Samuel G. Wilder, and without whose aid Kalakaua would have hardly been even nominated. Looking at the matter, for a mo ment, from the Hawaiian standpoint, one may understand that the intelli gent native "Royalists" are indignant that the obstinacy and foolishness of Liliuokalani destroyed the Monarchy and involved an innocent and intelli gent girl in its downfall. But one would expect that the same native Royalists, would be doubly indignant that the woman who so stupidly pre cipitated this "calamity," if it was one, should turn about and vilify the mem ory of the most charming woman that ever shared the Throne. If the natives and part natives submit without pro test to this malicious attack on the memory of Queen Emma, they have no reverence for their old Kamahameha line. hundred thousand of young Ameri cans wish to join in the Cuban picnic, and it will be difficult to find places for them. Perhaps the Washington Gov ernment will sell the privileges to the highest bidders. The papers indicate, however, that the plan is to utilize the State militia, which is now maintained at considerable expense. There is now an excellent opportunity to test its value. Its existence is largely due to the experience obtained in the Civil war, where several hundred thousand men went to the battle fields, without officers who had even read the books on military tactics. We recall the case of a regiment of a thousand men, packed in a train of cars moving southward from Philadelphia in 1SC1, where the captains were sitting in the baggage car, in full uniform reading Hardee's tactics. The loss of life and property was so great owing to the weakness of this extemporized army, it forced, after the war, a wider organi zation of the State militia. We may now see it called upon to serve, and prove its efficiency in an emergency. .MORTUARY REPORT. , The total number of deaths reported the month of April. lO-s.J was r.;. tributed as follows : Under 1 year...

Not long after this, a scrofula sore appeared on my left cheek, extending from my upper lip to my eye. Other sores came on my neck and on my right arm and one of my limDs. They were very troublesome and painful and Boon became great running sores. My face looked so bad that some of my neighbors could not bear to look at me and advised me to wear a bandage, but I feared this would irritate the sore and make it worse. So I Could Not Hide the Sores. My niece, who was familiar with a case similar to mine, which had been cured by Hood's Sarsapariila, urged me to try it. Finally I was persuaded to do so, and in a short time I saw it was helping me. The sores began to heal and the neu ralgia in my head was better. In a few months the sores on my arms and limbs all healed; those on my neck gradually disappeared and now they -are all gone. I have never had any symptom of scrofula since. One large scar on my right arm is all the sign that remains of my terrible affliction. The neuralgia is also cured " Mrs. J. M. Hatch, Etna, New Hampshire. Sarsapariila Is the best in fact the One True Blood Purifier. Captain Parker is very much elated over the work of the men directly un der him in the matter of drill.

REWARD OF MERIT. At the CHICAGO CYCLE SHOW in 1897, each visitor on entering the STjow was handed a coupon reading as below: "After viewing the exhibits, kindly fill in the name of the Bicycle which pleases you best as regards beauty and mechanical merit, and deposit the coupon in baiilot box near exits Name of Bicycle,, ' The "Shirk" received 17.4S9 ballots against 12,377 the next highest. When it is known that all the leading makes of wheels in the United States were on exhibition at this Show, the above speaks for itself. The HONOLULU BICYCLE CO. have secured the Agency for this strictly high grade wheel. IT WILL INTEREST YOU TO CALL AND SEE IT. The- SHIRK is the ibest thing that ever happened. THE THIRST FOR GORE. Symptoms of the war spirit are rapidly developing in this town. Young men who wish to see "life" desire to join the forces that probably will enter Cuba before long. Before taking up the matter seriously they should con sult the old campaigners and learn something about war. The young men regard it as a sort of picnic. But they do not realize that the picnic part of it is soon over. We recall, and no doubt many here, can recall, the en thusiasm of the "three months volun teers" in the American Civil war. The romantic stories of camp life during the Revolutionary and Mexican wars, were in every young man's mind. Secretary Seward had declared that the coming war would last "only CO days." The young men who saw service for three months were as a rule quite contented with that experience. A man who en ters the military service ceases to be his own master, and must submit to rigid rules and often to insolent su perior officers. He is not allowed the privilege of leaving camp, and must take the food that is given to him. The volunteers in the Mexican war had, on the whole, rather a pleasant time of it, but many had very bad luck in beins confined to undesirable places. No doubt an invasion of Cuba -by an American army, may be in the nature of a picnic, provided the movements of the forces may be made, with regard to climate.
