EXIT OAKUM.-0ne ofthe 'characters' of Homo
lulu, for the past twenty-seven years, poor iel-
low who was known as "0akum,n died at the In
sane Asylum last week in consequence of an aneur-
ism from which he has been suffering for several
months past He first appeared here about the year
1850 and for many years his hair In long fay
en- curls down on bis shoulders, with nothing on
his head but handkerchief, giving him peculiar
aspect TO which he was no doubt partially indebted
for the soubriquet 10 which be answered which
was also corruption of his real name. He has al
ways lived wild life, spending much of his time on
the mountains in collecting honey, and occasionally
cutting coffee stick TO sell for a cane II engaged
IN conversation his talk often quite rational for
few minutes, but he was always sure TO wapder off
long, and tell of some large plates of solid gold he
had discovered, or an account of boy be had seen
some one murder and rob, and bury In the sand, or
some other equally extraordinary evidence of men
tai alteration. His real name was Holcomb
Dwight, and he was one of the survivors of the
celebrated Donner Party" which came overland
TO California IN 1S46 He was, we believe, native
OF Illinois. The terrible sufferings endured oy this
party are well known. all have heard the sad
tragic story of how the party reached the Truckee
Pass, in the Sierra Neyadas, month too late and
, found it blocked with an impossible barrier of
ssnow; how, during the months of November. De-
cember and January, the snow fell in immense
quantities, completely burying the shaniies they
had erected, and concealing their cattle How, 10
their desperation, party set out on snow shoes
for aid from the California settlements and after
month OF untold agony, during which the flesh of
those that succumbed served TO keep the survivors
alive. the only one In whose breast remained a
spark Of hope, reached a settlement Relief parties
were instantly started from Sacramento aud San
francisco, and on the 18th Of February the irst one
cached the camp near Truekee Lake, and found
hat the few still living had for four weeks fed on
lothing but bullock hides, and :here was but one
aide remaining Leaving a small supply of food
hey immediately started back with ali they could
lake. "a The last relief party reached Douner's
amp late in April The main cabin was empty
but come miles distant tey found the last survivor

BE was ferocious in aspect savage aud repulsiVe in
mauner. His camp-kettle was over the fire, and In
il bis meal Of human flesh preparing. The stripped
bones Of his fellow sufferers lay around him" No
one can wonder that such scenes Of dreadful misery
should have turned poor 0akum's brain. Peace to
his ashes.

poor people Of Waiakea left entirely destitute,

ion for them and nelrly $500 as been raised al

the street into another building. and both lie jammed
together blocking up the street completely. No such
tidal wave has been known here since 1887, which
was but little higher. The dead body of one woman
was found floating around of Honolii.
As near IS I can ascertain about 81 houses were
destroyed at Waiakea and 10 in Hilo town, besides
others badly damaged. l think that the Govern
ought to afford some assistance las they did in
1869 to the people of Waakea whose buildings have
been SO totally destroyed.

IT must be acknowledged that there is a
growing impatience in the public mind that
no active steps have yet been taken by the
Government, looking toward the introduction
of population and labor. The subject is one
whose Importance cannot be overestimated.
Upon it depends our present advancement,
and, what is of vaster moment, our future
national existence. 1t is The question of the
hour, and will continue to be, until honest and
persistent efforts to solve it have either been
crowned with success or have resulted in
failure. Before it all other questions of in
ternal administration, or of national policy,
pale into insignifcance. Upon this question
alone will the present administration stand or
fall. 1t has assumed the duties Of Office most
unequivocally committed to policy of ma
tional conservation and progress, on the foun-
dation of repopulation from abroad. To shrink
from it now without an effort to reach prac-
teal solution would cover the members of the
administration with disgrace and obloquy.
To sit with folded hands because there is a
possibility of failure is enough to make every
patriot in the country cry shame If no enter
prise was ever tackled in which success was
uncertain, the civilized world would very
soon retrograde to barbarism. Ifthere are in the
government men whose minds are too narrow
to entertain a large and statesmenlike policy
for the salvation of the country men of the
picayune type, whose education and antece-
dent life may have fitted them to be good
providers for their families, but rendered them
incompetent to appreciate or foresee the advan-
tages promised by great enterprises; conser-
vatiye men whose gaze is wholly retrospective,
and who worship precedent, let such, we say,
resign their positions and make room for men
Of the stamp demanded by the emergency. If
we must be wrecked, let it not be on the
quicksands of conservatism. The country
has right to demand perfect unanimity in
the Councils of State on this question, and it
will demand it. To bicker and hesitate at
the present juncture can only be suicidal in
the executive. To attempt to carry out to the
best of their ability the requirements of the
time, even should failure result, would at
least restore public confidence in their honesty
and patriotism.
We doubt if it would be necessary to effect
q foreign loan, as suggested by the p. c. Ad-
rcrtiser, in order to carry out scheme of re-
population. Whist money might be required
could be raised by domestic loan at much
cheaper rates than in a foreign market, and
there can be no doubt but that fair proper
tion of the expense of repopulation would be
Immediately reimbursed by those at the head

Systematic efforts have also been made to raise
money for their temporary relief. In this
kind Sheriff and others have been very active, So
that we now have purse of about $500, with the
prospect of more. In communicating with the Ma
tive Church to-day they seemed much aroused. and
we think they will do well, according to their ability.
Though the deaths have been less than in the years
1887 and 1868, yet ihe loss of property has been
greater, and the impression made upon our better
intelligent character. May the lesson not be lost
