dence. Such are needed in our town.
The army is apparently in demand these days.
but as ii is reported that all of their powder
burned one night to preclude the chance of acct
dent, none of them are likely to get hurt.
The KuoEoq says that man was killed in Kau,
and the Coroners jury rendered a verdict of Kill

Work on the new music Hall is proceeding with
communicable rapidity. The foundation walls look

trouble in getting Deputy, Mr.. Lazarus We hear
Barnes, unfortunately is Ill. or he would perhaps
take the matter into consideration.
The first sugar from the Hawaiian Agricultural
Company's works at Pahala. Kau, was received last
week. After so long waiting it is to be hoped that
an abundance of sugar and big dividends will de-
light the stockholders heart.
Mr. Agnev is erecting several neat cottages on the
makai side of Beretania Street near his present
residence. The town ought to contain more pleas
ant houses to rent than we have had, and this
erecting them out of the close confines of the
town is nice.
We hear that Mr. James Dodd is about estab-
fishing a regular line of omnibuses, for passengers
and also for carriage of parcels, between Homo
lulu and Waikiki. Mr. Dodd asks no subsidies"
but shows that the way to resume special pay
ments is to resume" In other words, he does
things, and waits the result of public patron

with an extra in both English and Hawaiian,
which is a ludicrous picture of the Hoapili Baker
manifestoes. Jones' Bush and Kuaea must enjoy
the simile about the thieves 1t seems that accord
ing TO this extra they were elevated to the Min
istry TO honor Moreno.
As an attempt to get up enthusiasm in favor of
Moreno the meeting at Kaumakapili was sig
nal failure On the contrary, to the disgust of his
adherents, resolution was passed thanking His
Majesty for his removal, in answer to popular
desires.
General Armstrong will deliver a lecture on the
Z" Hawaiian Problem" at the Lyceum on Friday
evening. His well known energy and ability in

the benefit of what-and whom?

Neither the present Ministry nor the
dismissal of Moreno seems to have created any
very large degree of confidence in business. Pro
baby however when the country settles down to
the habit of unexpected, unnecessary, violent,
faithless and similar methods of government, not
even earthquake can disturb the equanimity of
men of affairs. People will tie themselves to the
leg of a table and +" let her quake"
