POLICE CoURT.-The old sailor traditiog
that on Saturday night an extra allowanceiarrUAL
is to be partaken of, in which to toast {" swesrnss-G
and wives,'' and that extra license is to be Sszrn
generally, seems to have got ingrained into the
character of some people in Honolulu. For there
are more locked up on that night than in all the rest
of the week. Last Monday, some three or four
natives were tried in the Police Court for being
drunk, noisy and mischievous in the streets on the
previous Saturday night. One smashed an iron pot
and a looking glass, belonging to a Chinaman, out
of pure e cussedness,' and another punched a con-
stable who tried to arrest the 8 pot breaker and q
third-he was q powerful looking fellow-picked the
constable up and threw him over q fence. But as
~sistance coming they were all arrested, locked up,
fined, and made to pay the damages All confessed
to having been drunk !; where could they have got
the liquor?-On Thursday, an instance was shown
of the feeling of China-phobia which is SO prevalent
among youngsters of this as well as more highly
civilized countries. A celestial cake-seller, out on
the Palama road, was hailed by some native boys,
who ~bargained for a reals worth of cakes. These
they proceeded to MUNICH, and when John asked for
the pay, they told him to come again on Monday
"In owe you for these" said Kanio, the spokes-
man. John thereupon got angry and laid hold of
kanio, and a scufHe ensued IN which John got
worsted and a bloody nose, besides having one eye
put in mourning. He was an extremely dilapidated
looking specimen of a celestial when he made his
appearance for a warrant 1t ended in Kanio being
that it was high time the lively youths about town
were taught that a Chinaman had rights which they
we're bound to respect.
