A JEWISH HERO.
Preferring Death Rather Than Have
 the Law Broken.

In the little village of Hungary there lived many years ago Jew who gained his living by carrying goods from place to place. He was so upright and honest that it was commonly said of him, "You might fill his wagon with load of ducats without securing them in any way, and not miss single coin. " Summer and winter, rain or fair, he might be seen driving his horse and well-laden wagon, sometimes here, some times there, gaining his livelihood and that of his wife and children literally by the sweat of his brow. He was so strong, too, and powerfully made, that often, without assistance, he drew the unfortunate animal out of the heavy bogs which still exist and render the roads in that part of the country in rainy weather almost impossible.
 One day carriage drawn by two horses appeared in sight, while the car rier, with his heavy load, was painfully toiling through the deep mnd.
 "Get out of the way" cried the coachman of the empty carriage.
 cit is you who should give place, J said the Jew, "for you have two horses and no weight to carry"
 "Dog of Jew Take that" ex- claimed the coachman, hitting the carrier heavy stroke with his whip.
 Our gigantic friend could not stand this, and, seizing piece of wood which was beside him, he hit the coachman an unfortunate blow which killed him on the spot. Much concerned, he placed the body within the carriage, returned homo at once, and communicated the occurrence to the Chief of Police, giving himself up as guilty of murder. Com mitted to prison, he quietly awaited his trial, while general consternation reigned throughout the whole community, in which the honest carrier was held in high esteem.
 The day of his trial arrived; the ex- animation began; sympathy for the prisoner was so general, that the very questions put to him were worded in such a way that he might easily have cleared himself from the charge of mur- der.
 "No, gentlemen" he said, Cit may be that in the eyes of human justice am not guilty and do not deserve death, but I cannot live with such weight upon my conscience; therefore, 1 beg to be allowed to suffer capital punish ment as the only expiation of my crime, One favor only I ask-that my remains may be inferred in our own cemetery, that may sleep among my own people, and may be buried quietly in the morn ing according to the rites of our relig- ion."
 Ills request was granted, but there were tears in many eyes when sentence was pronounced. A few days later, 2 small, sad procession was seen quietly vending it's way to the Jewish cemetery people of all creeds uniting to pay this last respect to one who, although ht had died the death of criminal, wa' none the less innocent, and as true { hero as many of those who have played @ leading part in the worlds history.

THE THRIFTY JAPs.-A traveller just returned from Japan reports that the feudal devotion which, under the old regime, characterized artists as well as others, has now been supplanted by the
 simple desire to get as much as possible out of the foreigner. An illustration of this is afforded by the fact that brand new vases are by some ingenious native device made to look old, in order to treble or quadruple their mrket value.

Further RemarI.s from ;,

Further Remarks from Truthful James,"
Mr.. EDIToR-It is with pleasure that record
the remarks have heard respecting your issue of
the 14th instant
Several parties have said it was the best since
your assuming the control of the paper; that it
contained more pertinent suggestions for the well
fare of the people, and especially on the liquor
question. We want an expression of public opin-
ion. That the country is full of good men and
women is fact there is no gainsaying but that
they are backward about writing on the topics
which the subject of all private conversations
is also equally true. That we have many robbers
burglars, smuggers, bummers and tramps in our
midst is proven to us by ocular demonstration
White trash and Chinese pirates are as thick as
reaches in a molasses cooler.
That liquor is sold almost openly in the country,
l. e., outside of Honolulu, we sure of. OF its
pernicious effects the natives and the above
mentioned members of society, we are equally
certain.
We complain of the executive in not carving
out the laws to prevent its SALE Should we not do
more! Do we not all belong to the "do you
think I'd inform" class
Of course the police are well paid and it is their
duty to spy out and bring to justice all offenders
but we have seen how powerless they are to quash
this great evil.
When the time comes, for come it will when the
good citizens will have to unite to form vigilance
committees and shoulder to shoulder, stand up
and drive those miscreants from these fair isles
no doubt but there will be bold front shown, but
God help our wives and little ones then. Would
1t not be better to assist the government in its en-
deavors In the good cause noc, and whenever we
can help the officers, by giving information. to do
SO voluntarily, and consider we have but done our
duty good citizens?
10 pay our taxes and complain of the inefficiency
of the police is not our whole duty. We must look
ahead and see what state society is coming to-
and help steer the good ship.
Within the last month or SO we have had six or
seven burglaries, within radius of fifteen miles,
and so far, but little has been done about it. l. e.
little to satisfy the losers. Our Sheriff is Collector
of Customs, ard has his hands full. He is very
indifferently supported, having but one foreign
officer on the police who is frst-class man, but
the whole native force are valueess. We want
more good men on the police, and We ought to help
them by giving information when cogniZant of any
crime or misdemeanor, and not consider it de-
meaning, but our duty.

CRY improvements ought to be undertaken on
some well-defned plan. We have seen some vii
lagos which the original proprietor of the land had
built with freakishness almost inconceivable in
a rational being. Walking about the place, he
would put down his cane, and say to the carpenter
with him, :" Put house there" We have heard
also the crookedness of the streets in more than
one city explained, by saying that these narrow,
winding ways were once only cow-paths. But IN
these days of sanitary skill and architectural taste,
it is crime as well as blunder. for any city au-
thnrities not to secure wellconsidered plans, and
follow out the most advanced ideas In the line of
city improvements. Who can tell where single
street line In Honolulu can be definitely ascer-
tained7 Now that the Government has received
so large amount from the sale of building lots.
the money ought not to be swallowed up in the big

WEDNESDAY, APRIL 81, 1880.

Mr.. S. n. CASTLES letter, which we pub
lish to-day, states the view. we have often
urged, of the much needed reform in our tax
laws. There can be no just Legislation on
the important questions of taxes and of cur
rency unless there is clear understanding
and defining of the elementary meaning of
words like capital, wealth, values, money,
credits, cash and property. No one can in
telligentlY discuss this branch of political
economy if he relies solely on his own ex-
perience. Indeed, he who is not a student
of history and who has not trained himself to
habits of reflection and of logical thinking is
incapable of comprehending the first princi-
pies of craftsmanship. The buying power of
credit is valuable and enables one to acquire
wealth, but it is not wealth the act of bor-
rowing does not duplicate the thing loaned.
One may get money on notes, but the notes
are not money. One who buys by mortgaging
to the seller, may call himself owner of the
property so bought; but no new property
is created by transfers, and all that such a
purchaser has is right to the property if he
pays for it. However, it is easier for most
people, strange to say, to make use of gene
raj statements or conclusions, based on false
principles or on assumptions, than to compre-
hend rudimentary ideas or the first principles
of correct thinking.

Now that the Hoapili joke is laughed out,
it is worth considering whether the subject of
loan, as it is understood that His Majesty
desires one, has any germs of merit, and whe-
ther the Government acts wisely in attempt
ing to stave off any loan. 1t may at once be
assumed that the proposed amount and the
proposed objects of loan are impossible and
out of the question. We cannot, if we wished,
borrow slO,OOO,OOO, the interest on which-at
six per cent.-would be 100000 year, with
no possibility of providing for the payment Of
the principal or interest. Nor would money
be loaned for objects unlikely to prove re-
munerative-such as forts. But loan Of
81 ,0e0, 900, negotiated in the United States,
at six per cent, would call for only $4,000
year interest, to which the addition OF
$4,000 a year would provide sinking fund
on which the debt would be paid in forty
years. If this money were used in deepening
the entrance to our harbor, for submarine
inter-island cables, for island landings, for a
dry dock, and for city drainage, it would be
likely to prove good and paying investment
We do not mention railroads, because we
think the outlay for the projected Hamakua
railroad would be disproportioned to the pub
lie benefit to be derived from i, and because
we think that the planters in that region
should join with railroad and steamer meu
in getting such facilities for their plantations
At any rate, loan for not more than the
amount we have named and for the objects we
have mentioned, if it were negotiated in the
United States, might bring powerful friends to
act for the continuance of the Treaty. OF
course, no loan is practicable until lenders
are assured that the money is not to be used
for useless display or to promote privats~i ~ia<
