Tlie Be!ec arrived frooi San Francifct)en r‘>ute l«»r \<>kohama tt noc>n and bnnght a mail. There are no further developoieut? relating to Hawaiian affaire. The Chroniele and Kxaminer cnrreBpond ents have bad t<> draw etrongly on their imagmation« to find 90methmg t<> fill the:r prescrilied epaee with. The first mraed paper tells U9 that tr.<-re have heen emie eon-eid--rati >n given to a piant >deci«re m.»rtial law and c<>:<fi9cate every dollar that Claus S|>reckele owne in the c>uutrv, whieh 8eems t<> indic >le tiiat the f<>nnerly so highly praised ch:inoter of the P. 8. must have been soraewbat loweredinthe mind of the corre3pondent. Ano ther plan ferreted out by the Chroniele is t<> get the Queen to abdicate formally f<>r 120.000 a year and so 9ettle all d fficulties. The a99<>ciated Pre*e corre8pondent has fabricated an interview with Clau9 Fpre»-kel9 and the Exarainer man hae finally married Ccmmi99ioner Blount’s Mr. Milla, to a young Hawaiian s ciety lady. The truth of the Iast statement ie. thouc . doubted #>mewhat by the ingenioue reporter who admit9 that the 9ecretary hardly has had tirne to attend to “dome8tic matters” pinee his arrival. We hear so mueh about the alleged c>rruptio» whieh it is said was ihe pr>mineut feature in the administrations under the monarchy. We hear daily frora the jien of the 9o-c.»lled Rev.

He wiil r*-ad the following four I couflec:itive edit<»rial paragraph« > in De Sai> Francisco Dai!y Chroniele of April 21at and then he will lay bick muaingly and w> nder, if thc Adverti9er, the Star. and St-rtno Bishop for onee should bc mifltaken and that the promi8td miilennium after all. is not to b« found under īhe Stars and Stripea, and that American polieemen, customs officers. and kahunasare very mueh built on the 9ame plan and i in the 9ame image as their brothers ! and co!leagu»-s in Hawaii nei. I Thii is what he reads in the edit<>r ial eolumn of the Chronicle: “II giv*9 the newspaper mder ‘•that tired feeling” to learn that the law offieers at Vi9alia onee m>>re allowed the bandits. Sontag and Ev;ins. to slip through their fingers. \Vith the end of winter these fellows will now betake themselves to other lands for it is scarcely credible that they will run the risk of another man hunt in the mountains this summer.” “The way smuggling is carritd on in San Francisco was neatly illustrated yesterday by the arrest of Custom Insoector Thomas A. D<)nglass. According to the evidence Douglass used his poailion in order to help those on the 9teamer China who desired to land good Ho< gkong opium without paying any toll to Unele Sam. The investigation of this ca9e ought to yield 8om p goud re8iilt8 whether or nnt it eiids in the conviction of the accused officer.” Maria \Voodworth, the female evangelist who 8>>me yeare ago created a great deal of senation in Oakland. is again demonstrating the truth <>f the Latin m «xim that people want to be deceived. She is holding f<>rth in St uouia and making c-mverts ;«re rapidly as ever. She claims t<> have performed s«ine marvelous cure9, atid on tbis sc«re she may be right. for mind d<»es <<ften contr»l matter. but none the less is she the aame charlatan and fraud that she was here m California, and withal a 9lire\vd, scheming, dang‘*r >us woman.” “The poliee auth >rities of San Francisco are uiiderg»ing at the pres<‘nt tuue one of lh<»9e apaemodic attacks (»f virt«ie whieh make their appeannee only too infrequently. They are raiding tbe rooms and deiis >>f the vendors of lottery tickets. am-sting the 9ellere a.id confi9cating their sh*ck in trade. Thts is all right, for the law directs : t. but it would be interesting to know how «uany of the <»fficers have at Ieast one eoupon m 8>>tne lott«ry or other snugly stowed away in an inside pocket. The law may f>rbid lotlenes. but it haa never yet aucceeded īn suppre89ing them.” And when the uosophi8ticated i Hawaiian haa read bis American paper *nd deducted nome peculiar ■ but correct fact8 «r«lating to th« morai o»ndit«on of officialdom ; in the great Republic he will begin i to draw some compari8one between i that great country and bis owa i lately 90 abused Islands.

he will find that Hawar. aa *n in- | dependent conntry under a Hawaiian monarchy ean bear eompanaon with «ny counlrv in the wor!d and in most i>*iints eoiuw out on top. He will tind that the taxe* pa:d are lighter than anywiiere eiae. That the reveuu»-e of the country in proportion t > the size and population are larger than in rn«a«t other countries. That the educatīonal evstem has rpsulted in the ab'litv of everv citiren to writeand read, a fact never accoraplished in auy other nalion. That the criminal stHt:st:os sh*'W a very emall amount of serious offenses and that the misdemeanors as a whole prove that the popuiation is a order!y and peacef il pe-'ple, in spite of the niix»*d r:ices and the numenu# low and semi b,irb iri m co<>lie lab 'rera. That tiie c.iuntry ean boast of n.j uoor bousee or work houses and that the government in no plaee is called on to take care of its p«.)or. That “the peopleT ean sleep with open doors” from one end of the country to the other and that an oeeaeional and atray polieeman is enough to protect the elumber of the cilizens That roads and wharvea and bridgea and harbora are in excelleiU conditions and suffioient for all demands. That the main dty ean boaet of an excellent tramway 8y8tem, an incomparable telephone net. and a first-clasa fire department water supply, and electric l'ght plant. That thecivil and criminal courts are weil adminiBtered to Ihe confidenc« and eatiefaction of all-Hawaiiana and foreigners alike, and that Iawsuits are just sufiicient frequent to allow the lawyers, who get most of them up. to enjoy a comfortable living. Tbat in spite of the natural growling of the “outs ’ the ‘‘ine have always managed affairs decently, and thal no flagrati:scandal has ever any administration. That the paople have pro«pered from the pennylees adventurer who landed here to the poor kanaka in his taro patch beyond the wildtst imagination and that tue whoie lot of them ought to be heartily aahamed of tiiemselves for gettmg disc*»uraged and de»pairing at the first sign of a crisis or a finaneial setback. and for offering to 8i-ll out the wiiole 8liebang iii8tead of bravely figbtmg the pn»phe8ied 8even ltan years. And when our Hawaiian philo§opher has lhought ita!l over he wil! smile with satiefaction in tlie rememfarance of wh.it his country heeame under ita Kings and Qaeen and ihen he will 8ign the list of the Patri<itic League aiul eall 011 commis3ioner Blount to tell hun what Hawaii was. aud is, aud ask him why it should not be allowed to be restored to the gtatus quo ante.
