The Pacific commercial advertiser. [volume] (Honolulu, Hawaiian Islands) 1856-1888, 1870-02-05

MIR. PAHUKULA's PARADE, as we hear, will take
place this afternoon, between three and four O'Clock.
The programme. as it has been stated to US, will be
as follows First, an old Hawaiian, dressed as his
countrymenw were in the times anterior to Capt. Cook,
mounted ON a wagon, holding the wooden 90 in one
hand, and a palm leaf fan in the other. Behind him
will be seated a Chinaman, with a hoe and a big knife.
These two characters are to be construed as emblem
atical of the two systems of labor, about which there
is SO much discussion, the free Hawaiian and the
bonded coolie. Following the wagon will be some
thirty or forty of Mr.. Pahukula's adherents, dressed
in man-of-war style, while the (prospective) Honora-
BILE gent. himself will occupy a high seat ON the
wagon, and make a speech at every corner. 1t seems
as though Bill Ragsdale's electioneering tactics were
to be revived, and his exploits eclipsed.
ALL RIGHT, AFTER ALL.-Somebody in last We'd
nesday's Gazette who signs himself as a Voter, -
takes our journal to task because we stated that
Messrs. Kalama and Rhodes were members of the
Privy Council, and that we omitted to make the same
statement of membership of the P. C. in connection
with the name of one of the gentlemen ON the ticket
which we advocate. 1t happens, however, that the
name of the gentleman referred to, does not appear
in the official list of the members of the P. C. as
published in the Gazette of last month. 1t may be
that the organ, in apologizing for the
tardy appearance of its Register & Calendar
boosted that it was eract and faulhess. So it will be
seen that we were correct after all, in emitting
the { tail . to the gentleman's name.
Quick TME.-Our townsman j. A. Hopper, being
in want of crucibles for melting copper, ordered a
set of them by the Idaho of Nov. 9th from Jersey
City, desiring them to be shipped by the Pacific Rail-
road. By the Murray on the 23d ult, the crueibles
were received, it being only 67 days from the time
the order was forwarded from here. 1t is generally
understood that the tariff by that road is so high rs to
make it inexpedient to ship any except valuable mer-
chandise by it. Mr.. III. assures US that the freight on
the cask, Gan ordinary sized crockery cask) from
New York to San Francisco was only $3.50 and that
the drayage in San Francisco, amounted to one fifth
of the whole expense of transportation.-GGzeHe.
FULL OF HIS RIoHTs.-A certain gentleman, who
shall be nameless here, but who is a candidate for the
Legislature, approached a prominent government
official the other day, in a state of-well, crapulency
and asked him to vote his ticket. Said he, "I
don't Care partic-ticular about getting in, but
YOU s-see 1 want my rights" The gentleman adj
dressed, giving an expressive shrug of his shoulders,
replied, g Well, it appears to me, that you are pretty
full of your rights already"
Nrw REsrAuRANr-We notice that Mitchell, an old
colored resident of many years standing has opened
a coffee shop in the premises opposite the Court
House. People whose business occupations require
them to be down town during the middle of the day,
cal. we are assured, find at 50 Black Mitchell's" q
well gotten up lunch, even to the extent on particular
days of a plate of pork and beans.
- The Sacramento Bee,-s paper from which
we clip more items of every kind. than any other
exchange on our disappeared on the LIST of January,
in a new and attractive dress, whicL must be very
pleasing to its readers, while it is an evidence of
prosperity as a newspaper enterprise.
SCIENTIFIC AMERICAN.-Every mechanic Should
supply himself with this sterling periodical, which
imparts more new ideas to I those engaged in machinery
or the mechanic arts, than any other periodical
issued. The best time to begin is with the number
for January LIST, received by the steamer.
NATIVE ADvERTIsEMENTs.-The attention of adveI-
tisers is called to the Kuokoa, which is the best
means of reaching the eyes and ears of Hawaiians
offered in the place Office over the Post-ofice, in
the room formerly occupied by ]. ". Austin, Esq.
MAsoNIc.-The regular monthly meeting of Ha-
waiian Lodge No. 81, 2. & A. NJ, will be held at
their rooms, Makee's building, on Monday evening
next. at Il O'Clock.
