The Pacific commercial advertiser. [volume] (Honolulu, Hawaiian Islands) 1856-1888, 1881-10-22

WE TAKE a glance at the Hawaiian
situation and the outlook for the stands
i full of promise. The country was re-
Gently afflicted with an epidemic, but that
was an accident or the result Of neglect /;
and now that it has disappeared, the
general saIubrity Of the Archipelago is re-
cOgnised. There is no endemic disease,
except one sad malady, that may be said
TO be confined to the native population.
And regarding this country dramatically, it
seems not ordinarily favored, but pre-
eminentIy desirable as a residence.
m%ultitudes Of the people of America, that
are desolated by ~tOrnadoes, swept away by
hurricane fires, flooded or frozen out or
harried by tempest, and extremes of
weather in many shapes but what would
be glad to find a retreat undo our sweet
skies, and by our calm shores. There is,
and there ought ever to be peace, plenty
and all enjoyableness Of life on the fertile
plains and mountain slopes Of these islands.
Nature deals so gently with man here,
if he will only act reasonably, and in ae-
cordance with laws of hygiene.
And turning to the business view to the
production Of the country; there is no
other land that can surpass this statement
of facts the annual production of a staple
worth ~S2,5OO,OOO from the cultivation of
about 5000 acres Of soil; with n capabi-
lily Of expanding within a decade to FOUL
fold the above sum. And politically
we nave a comparatively clear sky. The
clouds that appear, originate altogether in
newspaper discussion. Our King by his
tour abroad has established an entente cor
diaIe with all the leading powers Of the
world, and His Majesty will have the
| -.aL-fWHTHv~ 10 Uwnr.fE. hTZ EnNraFaTnnfN
/ without let or hiudrauce. And great states
men and philanthropists will contemplate
with interest the endeavors made by His
Majesty's Government to preserve the
/ Hawaiian race, to assimilate and har-
monizse other races with them and to
/ r~epOpulate this Kingdom.

ON THE STAGE


There is no person il the world that
is easier to overlook the incopsistencies
that show themselves on the stage at
theaters than We are, but once in while
there is something so glaring that II
pains us. We have seen actors fight
duel in a piece Of woods far away from
any town, on the stage, and, when one OF
them fell, pierced to the heart with
sword, we have noticed that he fell on a
Brussels carpet. That is all wrong, but
we have stood it manfuliy. We have
seen a woman on the stage who was 40
beautiful that we could be easily nfashed
ii we had any heart left to spare. Ser
ewes were of that heavenly color that has
been written about heretofore, and her
smile as sweet as ever was seen, but he
hind the scenes, through the wings, We
have seen her trying to dig the cork out
Of a beer bottle with a pair of shears,
and ask supe in harsh tones where in
thunder that cork-screw was, while she
srread mustard on piece OF cheese, and
finally drank the beer from the bottle,
and spit the pieces Of cork out on the
floor. sitting straddle of stage chair'
and her boot heels up on the Top round,
her trail rolled up into ball, wrong SIDE
out, showing dirt from forty diNerent
stage floors. These things hurt. WV
the worst thing that has ever occurred to
knock the romance out Of us was to see
a girl in the second act, after twelve
years is supposed to elapse," with the
same pair of red stockings on that she
wore in the first act, twelve years before.
Now. what kind Of a way is thatP IL
does not stand to reason that a girl would
wear the same pair of stockings twelve
vears. Even if she had them washed
once in six months, they would be worn
ont. People notice these things. What
the actresses of this country need is to
change their stockings. To wear them
twelve years, even in their minds, shows
an inattention to the details and proba-
bilities of play that must do the act
resses an injury, if not give them COINS.
Let theater-goers insist that the stock
ings be changed oftener, in these plays
that sometimes cover half a century, and
all will feel more at their ease, and the
stockings will not become moth-eaten.
Girls. look to the little details. Look to
the stockings, as your audiences do. and
Won will see how it is yourselves.-Pecks

roo MANY LAWYERS AND roo
MANY FEES.

The rock that the legal profession are
in most danger of coming to wreck on is
that of excessive charges. There is con
tinual low growing in the community
on this subject. The following, in an
English lay newspaper, does not exagge-
rate the matter There are certain
well-nown firms of solicitors who can
never be got to render statement they
are perpstually applying for checks on
account, and generally have the faculty
of asking for these at some critical time
in tho procedure, when they know that
the Htigant cannot help paying, in order
that his case may 60 on. Other solici-
tors punish the inquisitiveness Of any
who may wish for detailed bill of costs
by making it out to an extent vastly in
excess Of the round sum originally de-
manded." It is notorious that the
charges are altogether out of proportion
to the time given, tho work given or the
consideration received, and all kinds of
vexatious obstacles are thrown in the
way of any who seek to effect a reform
in this respect. The fact is, that the
ranks of the legal profession are over
crowded, and are being added TO year by
year to an extent which the public inter.
ests by no means require. Yet the ex-
clusiveness that obtains with regard to
methods of procedure, and the strin-
gent rules imposed upon all the men,
bers Of the craft, prevent that whole
some competition which exists in all
other trades. The consequence is that
the public are robbed. and that COM
parative few of the members of tho legal
profession obtain for themselves the chief
portion of the spoil, while the great
bulk of them struggle on as beat they
can. Our legal exchanges are filled with
discussions ON lawyers' costs. The COM
munity are bound to have cheaper JUS
tice, if they can.-Al6any Law Jour

HALF PRICE.
On the LIST of April, 1889, says the
Boston correspondent of the bingham
Journal, the celebrated Fifteen Gal
Ion Law went into effect in Massachu-
sets, causing many exciting times
among the dealers in alcoholic bever-
ages. At general muster in the neigh
boring town of Dedham, dealers in
stimulants we're obliged to confine
themselves to the sale of cider. One
enterprising fellow brought on the field
Il hogshead of the article, and, putting
up a canvas tent around it, CON-
menced thriving business at six cents
q glass. Suddenly his trade began to
slack up in an unaccountable manner,
Which greatly puzzled him. While
bordering over the matter, a fellow
walked up, drank a glass, and handed
over a ninepence. Six cents change
was handed him, which caused the ex-
clamation, "Look here, Capting, yew
charge me six cents, and I can buy
plenty of it for three cents" "Where?"
asked the dealer. "Rite round here"
said the fellow, pointing to the back of
the tent. Going round to inves-
tigate, the dealer found that an
enterprising Yankee had tapped the
rear end of his hogshead.
and was retailing cider for three cents
glass. The wonderful "Striped Pig"
was exhibited at the same muster.
THE SUNDAY Law IN NEW TORK.
A friend of mine sent a servant out

on her return she met a policeman.
"Look herel I've a notion to arrest

frightened servant. "For gettin' beer
on Sunday in glass pitcher. I'll let
you of this time, but the next time you
do it, I'll have you up. You can get it

want to, for then I can say 1 thought it

DOGS IN GERMANY.

Dogs are valued highly in Germany.
In Vienna an enterprising man has es-
tablished bath house exclusively for
dogs, which, after being thoroughly
washed in large tubs, are placed in cages
to dry. Dogs Of all sizes and breeds
and of every social position are admitted
and charged only with reference to their
size. No one appreciates the spirit of
the phrase "to work like dog" until
he has been in Germany. The Arick,aes
Indians call a horse ga big dog" In
Germany dog might we'll be called a
little horse. Abouthaf the draught power
is furnished by dogs and women and
they are frequently hitched up together.
1t is not uncommon to see a dog drag
ten or twelve hundred weight. 1 have

over horse team-it guards the prop

an immense hospital and veterinary col.

Mr.. SECRETARY HUNT showed himself

soever might be hurt thereby, quite
early in his career as Secretary of the
Navy. He has son in the navy, Ridge

Commodore Ridgeley. The young man
has been on a three years cruise on the
Alaska in Asiatic waters. The ship
reached San Francisco on her homeward
voyage about the time Judge Hunt was
made Secretary of the Navy, and his
son, hearing of his fathers appointment,
jumped to the conclusion that he would
be so specially favored, telegraphed for
permission to come to Washington by
rail direct instead Of going with his ship,
which was ordered to Panama, where
the officers were to be changed, and
coming home by sea on the ship which
takes the officers who are to relieve
them. Young Hunt was considerably
surprised, probably, when his father,
the Secretary of the Navy, instead of

PREACHING AND PRACrTCTNC.
A good old elder Of a neighboring
town was invited by q colored minister
to preach to the latter's congregation.
He consented, and, knowing the faults
of the members of his brothers con-
gregation, took occasion to hint at it in
the following language:
"Stealing is a besetting sin. The
man who steals is capable of greater
crimes. He who steals even a pin will
steal chicken, or duck, or a GOOSE or
turkey; and he who steals from his
neighbours hen-roost will steal from his
stable, and horse-thief will commit a
murder: My friends. if you keep away
from your neighbours chickens you will
not bs suspected of other crimes"
The colored minister was here called
npon to make the closing prayer, which
he did as follows:
"Oh Lord We thank Thee for the
sermon We have heard to-day, and oh.
Lord, We hope it will bear good fruit
among an who have heard it, and oh

it, and help him. oh Lord to practice
