Good TempIars.

l notice with much pleasure that this excel =
lent Order is fast regaining the estimation
and confidence Of the community which it for
merly enjoyed. For reasons 1t is needless to speci-
fly, it has laDguished for some months-in fact, COM
pletely died out. l regret that such has been the
Gaze, for l have seen the great good it has done in
the past; and there has never teen q time in which
the necessity for such an Order Of Temperance has
been greater than at present. lntemperance is a
great and direful evil in any community, and in
our tropical climate it is especially destructive to the
intellect and health of its unfortunate victims. This
is a subject which appeals strongly to all classes Of
our citizens who have any regard or sympathy for
the welfare Of the ihebriate and bis family, or those
who are becoming addicted to the use of intoxicat-
ing drinks. 1t affects directly the financial interests
Of the community by e~nlarging the burden Of taxes
rendered necessary for the increase Of pauperism
and crime, and the consequent increase Of expenses
in the machinery Of tbe law. The Independent
Order of Good Templars, from the popularity Of its
rules and discipline. has shown itself to be the most
effective organization yet devised for mans wisdom
for the suppression Of intemperance; and / am sur
prised and grieved to see certain classes Of the COM
munity hold aloof from its ranks. 1t is not SO else
where. In California, the Eastern States, Great
Britain, Canada, and Australia, c%lergymen and
church members, lawyers, doctors and professional
men of every class, contribute largely TO increase
its ranks and influence, and l firmly believe that, be-
fore many years, its influence will be felt and courted
by the leading political parties in these countries in
which it has established itself, for it will certainly
hold the balance Of power in it's hands. This 10
what l would like to see. Temperance or intemper-
aDce is not a mere sumptuary question. 1t is one
that concerns the life and death Of thousands upon
thousands Of our fellow men. Then let US arouse
from our lethargy. Oh, ye, the church members Of
our community, whose influence and example are so
potent for helping on every enterprise that has for
its object the ameliOration Of the condition Of the
down-fallon, and the suffering, and the degraded
everywhere. l appeal to you, and beseech you no
longer to stand apart with ayerted eye, but with
your presence and your couusels to help on this
great means of rescuing the incorporate from the
terrible dangers that encompass them, and the heart
felt prayers Of thousands Of Wretcbed mothers and
unhappy children shall rise TO Heaven to bless your
names. What greater reward could you seek or ask
for an slight a sacrifice?

would be available by wagons etc.
1t would be a step in the right direction Tor tho
government TO give an appropriation Tor the
Hamakua government road many OF the gulches
and ravincs, are almost impassablc since the
recent heavy rains.
Our Road Supervisor, Mr.. Mullis, has made i'm
proyements worthy Of notice, and bis whole aim is
to construct a safe and good road, as far as funds
will allow. and a specimen Of what can be done,
will be seen on the Gne wagon road Carried over
the Paauhau gulch. This has been completed at
no great expense, and will admit OF two or
three teams passing each other. A road OF like
description can be constructed from Naiplo TO the
commencement Of The IIilo district. This We
could not expect at present. but the repairing OF
our road across the gulckcs Is necessary, and this.
unless at once attended TO, will be dangerous, and
as our Road Supervisor is minus the funds TO
render The same passable, il bchooyes the govern
ment to appropriate a reasonable sum to place the
Hamakua road in such a condition that the travel
ing public may pass TO aud fro with safety.
The road across the Paauhau gulch h "A credit

Hamakua, Hawaii.

The rich and fertile district Of Hamakua, is at
tracing attention, for the establishment Of large
sugar plantations aud other industries. the which
heretofore was considered almost impraciicable on
account of its rock bound coast.
The rapid progress Of the Honokaa Plantation
and the immensely Of its cane. has undoubtedly
inspired capitalists to open mp tracts Of sugar
cane lands in several parts Of the district. The
cry of no baIbors or landings" three years ago
is a " vista of the past" aud the determination Of
Messrs. Marsden q Siemsen to establish a safe
landing at Honokaa, has removed the fears that
were entertained, as to the utter impracticability
of landing heavy machinery on this coast.
Landings. equal to the one at Honokaa, can be
effected at several points. within a distance OF ten
miles, which landings would lay open every foot Of
tillable land for settlement and, where such
landings could not be effected, our roads eau be

Mr.. EDITOR Allow me through your paper to
call the attention Of the proper authorities to the gener-
al inconvenience brought about by obstructing the side
walks of our streets with all kinds Of merchandise
placed in front of stores. We have been accustomed
to this nuisance to a certain extent but when the
public forbearance is imposed upon, in a manner
as is now the case in Fort street it is time that the
nuisance of appropriating the streets for the display
Of goods should be prohibited.

Correct ION.-In our item last week headed
- Hawaiian Chronological Table" we inadvertent-
ly gave the entire credit Of its compilation to the
Friend, and it is but justice to Mr.. T G.. Tbrum,
the author and publisher of the " Hawaiian AL
manac and Annual, - that we should make this
correction. The " Animals" Chronological Table
Of important events, in the issue for 1876, and
continued in 1878. is almost identical, down TO
the year 1876, with the Friends " Chronological
Table, published the first Of the current month.
A comparison of the two will readily establish
this. We are sure that neither Mr.. Thrum nor
the Friend desires to claim any credit due to the
other and We very much regret that our notice
of the Friends article has done Mr.. Thrum any
injustice. The well known fairnes, of our brother
Editor gives us assurance that he will join in this
regret.

NUIsANCE.-Who has not often been annoyed at
the street crossings of many of our leading thorough
fares by having to turn out-into the mud if it be
raining-to get around some express or carriage
that blocked up the way? We have been; and our
ire has been kindled at the supercilious smile Of a
stupid driver who sat watching our dilemma. There
ought tc be q standing police order that no carriages
of any description should be allowed to stop at the
intersection of any of the streets, or on any street
crossing. The reason for such a rule is apparent at
q glance.

The DOUBLE CONCERT, last Thursday night at
Emma Sduare. proved all and more than was expect
ed. The generous spirit of rivalry between the two
Bands to excel, gave our music-loving residents a
treat they certainly never before enjoyed, and for
which there was no room for criticism by the most
exacting, even if such was thought of. The bright
moon shon down respondent upon the escene, and
the cool and balmy air made one of those lovely
nights that are seen only in our beautiful Isles. AT
ter the concert the German Band marched to the
British Club and through the streets playing military
airs much to the pleasure Of the crowd that accom-
panied them.
