Gregg township was agitated on last
Thursday evening by two political meet
ings-Republican and Democratic. The
Republican forces were commanded by
Gen. james A. Beaver, and in addition TO
the eloquence Of the General, had the in
spring strains of the Pleasant Gap Cornet
Band TO give animation to the occasion.
The Democratic hosts, in that sturdy
stronghold of the party, were under the
leadership of Mr.. William Kerln, the
President Of the Hancock and English
Club, of the township. The meeting was
addressed In sound and forcible manner
by Mr.. Kerlin, and the Centre Hall Band
furnished the music. We have heard
several accounts of both meetings which
conflict considerably with each other, but
after summing up the net result, without
rcsorting 10 the "counting out" method,
"a practiced in the late Alabama election
which so much vexes the soul of our friend
Gen. Beaver, we are reluctantly compelled
TO say that we think the plain, hard work
ing miller Is ahead of the astute lawyer
politician by several we'll earned points.

GRAND DEMOCRATIC MASS MEETING
AND POLE RAISING AT BoALsBURa-Ex-
Gov. A. q. CURTIN AND SENATOR ALEX
ANDER ADDRESS THE PEoPLE.-Tbe Han
cock and English men of Harris township
had grand time at Boalsburg on Tuesday
afternoon and evening. In the afternoon
they raised two fine poles and flung TO the
breeze large and handsome flag and
streamer bearing the names of the Demo-
cratic National candidates The crowd in
the afternoon was large and enthusiastic,
and when the flag was run up 1t was
greeted with great cheering. The poles
were erected in the Diamond, and the flag
of restored Union will greet the eyes of
all who travel in the direction of Harris
townships thriving village. In the even
ing the gathering throng was marched to
the Academy building where one of the
largest meetings ever held in this part Of
the county was organized. Many were
unable TO gain admission TO the building,
standing room being at premium. Hon.
W. A. Murray was called to the chair
with suitable number of vice presidents
and secretaries. Immediately after the
organization was perfected ex-Gov. A. G..
Curtin was introduced. This was the sig
nal for the widest cheering and it was
with difficulty that the Governor was
enabled to proceed. His speech created
the greatest enthusiasm and he was
constantly interrupted by applause. This
was the first appearance of the Governor
upon the stump and the warmth and
cordiality Of his reception was highly
gratifying, lie will be heard from again.
Senator g. 7. Alexander followed in one
of his happy, eloquent arguments, at the
conclusion of which the great meeting ad-
journed with cheers for the speakers and
thrice three for Hancock and English.
1t will be a long time before the warm
hearted Democrats of that section forget
the grand rally Of Tuesday. 1t was red
letter day in the annals of Boalsburg, and
the result Of the outpouring of the masses
VIII be seen in the increased Democratic
majority in November

The Hancock and English Club of
Bellefonte held its usual weekly meeting
on last Saturday evening. The attendance
was very large, the club room being pack
ed with enthusiastic Democrats. Shortly
after 8 o'clock ex-Gov. A. G.. Curtin en-
tered the hall and was vociferously cheered.
Adam Hoy, Esq, introduced the Governor
in few well chosen words, and as the tall, !,
imposing form of the great War Governor
was seen close by the presidents chair the
entire audience rose 10 their feet and
checred again and again. The Governor
was in excellent spirits and delivered one
of his old-time, eloquent and inspiriting
speeches. He was frequently interrupted
by applause, and his closing words, in
which he pledged his best efforts to the
cause Of Hancock and Democracy, were
the signal for renewed cheering which
lasted several minutes. The Club then
adjourned 10 meet again next Saturday
evening.

For THE information of the many
readers of the ADVERTISER abroad, we give
some particulars of information about the
island of Hawaii and its great Volcano.
The island is SO miles in length from north
to south, and about 80 miles in breadth, and
has an area OF 2,694,4OO acres. It's highest
summit, Mauna Kea or White Mountain,
rises 13,sO5 feet from the sea. Mauna Loa or
Lofty Mountain rises 1900 feet from the
sea /; and Hualalai, the third great noun
tain, attains an elevation of S,275 feet. AS
the tourist sets foot on almost any part of
the island, he sees evidence of its recent
fiery formation, especially if he lands on the
Kau coast at Kaalualu. As he penetrates
into the interior, going by way of Wal
Ohinu and Kapapala toward the ever
active crater of Kilauea, or in the direction
Of Kahuku through the Kona district, he
sees everywhere the evidences of compar-
atively recent volcanic formations. The
ground over which he travels resounds
with hOllows and subterranean caves and
he sees in every direction pits, caves, cells,
grots, and holes so that the whole earth
is hOney-cOmbed, or n vast subterranean
labyrinth of catacombs made by volcanic
action. And in all the accessible recesses,
the tourist who can l%oiter, and who has
taste, will be delighted with the variety of
ferns, MOSES, and lichens that line and
fringe every opening scooped by volcanic
power. Should the tourist, as some ladies
even have done, like Madame Ballieu and
Miss Bird, plod their way on a sure-footed
mule over the frozen lava waves of the fire
river of 1856 hat threatened Hilo, they will
be delighted with the infinite variety of
vegetation with which a formulating at
mOsphere and climate mantles the Once
lurid stream of desolation. And then, when
on the summit of either mighty mountain,
Mauna Kea or Mauna Loa, at elevations of
about fourteen thousand feet from the sea,
what grandeurs of view, M what marvels
of nature to arrest the attention of the
tourist in every part of the wondrous fire
built island

We turn to 90 to Kipukaahina, for at least four

sight which is seldom seen:
There will not be much danger OF the how ever
reaching ilo if it should keep on running the way
it is now, as it will have that immence valley to I'LL
mn below Pun Oio and Wailuku Swamp. But am
afraid that the Pahoehoe flow will start out on the
South side of the IA and then 1t Will of course fol
low the 1856 flow to Hilo and go quick too. So
there is still great danger for our beautiful town.
The two aa flows, this one and the one OF BOT run
side by side for miles and If the 1856 one prevents
the pahoehoe flow from running out on that side
and press it out on the North side of the new IA
flow 6ilo will be safe, 1 think You know l am an
old kamaaina up there and know of what l am
writing. There is no diminution of the fire, and
the smoke is getting thicker, showing that the flow
has got into the large Koa forest at the end of the
middle cround.'' If the flow had not been hemmed
in on the "middle ground but had followed the
old 1856 flow down, it would probably have been
now within Is miles of Hilo. 1t is now about u
miles from there. 1 expect it will gobble up Hale
aloha if it keeps on, but it is not probable that 1t
will run down the Kipukaahlna nat.
The quickest way to reach the How is via Hilo,
as one day will bring any one to the now, and 1t
will take at least two days from Kawaihae. l feel
anxious for Hilo and shall watch further develop
ments very anxlOusly.

forward the plea of ignorance in respect to
the Hawaiian language, but presents this
consideration to candid and fair minded
foreign readers who may be we'll acquaint-
ed with the language, idioms, and style OF
discussion of the Hawaiian mind,-that a
great deal may be said from a Hawaiian
standpoint, which if literally translated
into the English language, would have an
Objectionable significance to the European
mind which had not affected the Polyne-
sian thought. Many of our readers will no
doubt recall to mind in this connection a
discussion some years past, hat the for
eign proprietor of the Hawaiian newspaper
Ruokod was charged with the publication
of o~bscenities in that journal when it was
contended for in defence, that the Hawaii
an did not attach any sense of immoral
significance to certain expressions and
statements, such as would affect an English
or other European mind, if literally tran
slated into their language. And at this
time, though the RuokoG is edited and pub
lished under a careful editorial supervision;
yet it would be an injustice to he worthy
editor to translate literally every native
comm unication or mele, and maintain that
all such u%tterances fully expressed the
literary taste and views of the foreign pro-
prietor and editor. And it is absurd to
translate Hawaiian "Elele" articles into
what is termed "Gibsonese" English, and
represent such translation as the sentiments
of the foreign proprietor. However, we
must say that the editor of this journal and
proprietor of the ELELE PoAKoLU has not
written or dictated for the ELELE articles
having any political significance either as
editorial or as communicated" at any
time since its first issue but has confined
his attention as regards that Hawaiian
journal, entirely to the writing of sketches
of Hawaiian History, and a story. A
native editor takes charge of communi-
cations, and prepares articles which the
proprietor supervises to the extent of pre-
venting the publication of anything con-
trary to law or good manner but does
not undertake to change expressions of
opinion or statements of views, and by no
means must it be understood hat he, any
more than any other editor, endorses all
that he publishes.

in this oo-much-cooked pie. 1t would be DIS
heartening to hear of another Indian t mine pre-,
venting negoti' ton just at the time we imagined
ourselves to have attained the object of our desires
The Gazette thinks q treaty can be negotiated oy
ordinary diplomatic correspondence. But there ID a
slight obstacle in that way just now which perhaps
is sufficiently formidable to prevent the course being
followed. The diplomatic representative with whom
such a negotiation should be carried on is (shall L
say unfortunately not in q position to undertake
it. He is hors de combat Even il he were in full
friendly relations with ourselves much valuable time
might be wasted in correspondence between that
. entleman and his government before the negotia-
ton could be brought to q satisfactory close.
Here is an alternative which may be thought
worthy of consideration. 1t is currently reported
that His Majesty the King will shortly undertake a
journey to Europe. If that be so why should not
the Minister of Foreign Relations be one of his suite,
and negotiate the treaty 10 London? Can any one
be found to doubt that such a treaty so executed
would be we'll and faithfully done? II so completed
it would entitle King Kalakaua to the glorious appel
lation OF . Benefactor of his country" He would
be the means of comforting such benefits on all classes
of Hawaiian residents, foreign as we'll as native, as
would justly endear him to all hearts. for such a
measure successfully carried out would ensure the
permanent prosperity and independence OF his coun-
try. while il would be acknowledged on oil hands to
be = worthy and brilliant continuance of those efforts
which wen so far in Obtaining for as the Treaty Of
Reciprocity with the great and generous people of

IN 1865, when volcanic action III Hawaii
had occasioned some loss of life and
destruction of property. King Kameha-
meha W, who had just the
royal purpose to open the Legislative
Assembly of that period, countermanded
this order, and proclaimed his purpose to
proceed in person to the scene of disaster
on his Island of Hawaii. We nave happily
not yet, had any disasters to life and pro-
perty to chronicle, and to call for the cheer
ing and beneficent presence of His Majesty;
but we think nevertheless that this is a
fitting opportunity for the King to visit his
dominions not so much to observe any
grand natural phenomena, as to visit the
people on all the islands, to enquire into,
and promote their sanitary condition. A
royal progress at home to enquire into and
promote health, would be a fitting prepare
ton for a royal progress abroad to promote
repopulation.

East Indian Immigration.

To the Editor of the Pacific Commercial Advertiser.
SIR,
Now is the winter of our discomfort
Made glorious summer by-Wednesday's Gazette"
At least there are signs of a thaw in the ice of oppo-
sition that has so long held bou nd in its frozen en-
brace, the right of planters and others to the assis-
lance of Government in their efforts to pro mote their
own and the national welfare. The clouds are
breaking, snow cessing to fall. frost disappearing,
and a swallow has actually made its appearance in
the softening sky of what stands for Hawaiian
politics.
The Gazette magnanimously publishe- the g Con-
vention between Great Britain and the Netherlands.
relative to the emigration Of Laborers from India to
the Dutch Colony of Surinam,' and graciously re-
marks after a long discussion of its provisions. {" But
further examination has failed to convince US tn at
such a treaty, as a whole, is not well adapted to our
needs"
Well done friend Gazette. The declaration is to
the point. Better late than never. But what on
earth made you so tardy in recording your benev-
Olent Judgment Why didn't you make q bow and
say something of the sort weeks. m onths. years sgo?
All the time natives have been dying out-celestials
rushing in. planters Tuning, petting, squirting.
kicking. biting at the curb which almost broke their
jaws. and finally some of them breaking down like
u ~ Ohkeys tneY are, or, II not tney, at ieast v
one worthy individual you know signed himself.
True we have not before had this Convention in
evidence, but there have all along been others equal
ly attainsble and valid of many years standing.
They might have been brought forWard and con-
suited; but it suited gentlemen in power. friends
patrons and protegss of the Gazette to ignore tneir
existence. 1t is not we'll to look q gift horse in the
mouth, SO it will perhaps be well to accept the ooon
which (unless he is joking agsin) the exponent OF
the acts of the powers that be seems benignly dis
posed to grant, without more reference than posi-
BILE TO sn.ecedents, and in view Of the parity clause
in the British treaty to make another attempt a.
negotiation to get bold of these East Indians. in spite
of their being British subjects and OF the imminent
danger of increasing British influence.
But it is just barely possible the Gazette may be
joking again. Its one swallow may not make 3
summer, the snow may begin to fall again. and the
thaw be only temporary. II is hard to believe We
shall be allowed to have any Of these East Indians
until we see them, or at least know they are to be
introduced by some one who has not yet had q finger !
The Pacific commercial advertiser. [volume] (Honolulu, Hawaiian Islands) 1856-1888, 1880-11-20

THE Gazette publishes the British Con-
vention with the Netherlands in 1870, as a
discovery of evidence to warrant this gov
eminent to entertain the project of a Con-
vention with Great Britain for the immi-
grafton of East India Coolies; but if our
neighbOr had paid attention to the late
Legislative debates, be would have known
that the editor of this journal, as a repre-
sentative, presented to the Assembly and
discussed a Convention of Great Britain
with France of 1861, altered in 1872, which
made like stipulations and which equally
as well as the Dutch Convention, is an
violence that this country could negotiate
such a convention without any risk of
political Intervention, so often asserted, as
the objection to Indian immigration.

SATURDAY., NOVEMBER 20. 1880.

THE Kings Birthday on the 18th instant,
was celebrated in this city with a sponta-
neity of spirit, an enthusiasm, and at the
same time, a -peacefulness Of demeanor (;
proving a widespread loyalty, and utterly
disprOving the oft repeated statements, that
either ~dislOyalty, or a~ntagonism of race
have affected the masses of His Majesty's

thousand strong, with a sprinkling of
foreigners thronged the E~splanade, and
lined the wharves last Tuesday. His
Majesty unattended, except by his
Chamberlain, being present; and not an
incident occurred to mar in the slightest
degree, the kindly festive feeling of the
occasion OF to indicate to any observer,
any thing else, than that perfect good will
prevails among all races of our population,
and that all were cordially united in doing
honor to the birthday of King Kalakaua.
