MR. ED1ToR What can be done with paper
that publishes such matter Street Talk" in last
Saturday = 2rsF4iser No paper in Honolulu has
ever been guy Of such a contemplate outrage
both against the public and more especially
against those individual sensibilities which all
who arc not entirely devoid of honorable instinct
are accustomed to respect as sacred.
Readers Of newspapers are entitled to some con-
Eiderztiou, and the confidence which they give to
the journal they subscribe for is not to be abused
BY the publication Of indecent and disreputable
articles No one OF ordinary principle cares to
become accessory even in faint degree to an
enterprise which Is liable to be regarded as COM
mon nuisance. The dead have no defence against
the attack Of profane hands, save in a chiralrous
pablo sentiment which am cclfdent is suf6ci-

TIE experiment, which is going to be
tried under the superintendence of Mr.
Stirling, will certainly be unique in the
history of the world. We have never vet
heard of man matching himself with that
greatest of all forces in Nature-the vol
canic If Mr.. Stirling succeeds in tap
ping the flow by the use of dynamite. he
will have accomplished what no man has
ever attempted or perhaps dreamt Of
When the great forces of Nature show
themselves, man is apt to be at first
appalled,, to bow before the overmastering
physical power which faces him. As long
as he remains a savage he is inclined to
worship the physical force, to try and
propltlate 1t; but the moment his intellect
awakes to the knowledge Of the power of
mind over matter, to the understanding
that, pigmy as he may be, his mental
capacities are capable, and more than
capable, of coping with many of the most
awe-lnsplring and apparently most insur-
mountable of obstacles, his confidence in
himself begins to take firm hold of him.
begins to give him a grasp over physical
ills, places him above them; and, as he
advances step by step, makes him wonder
where is the limit of his power over a
large proportion of the forces upon the
globe. Mr.. Strings project is certainly
one which ought to excite the greatest
interest in the mind of every thinker:
prophet is very apt to be without honor
In his own country, and we imagine very
few people have realized what this gentle
man is attempting to do;-he has deliber-
ately gone forth to fight one of the
mightiest powers on earth. If he sue
ceeds, he Will have accomplished far
greater deed than any of the tabled acts
of prowess of the knights of the Round
Table; if he fails, he Will even then have
the solace of having fought good fight.
But whether he succeeds or not, he will
always have the proud satisfaction of
having given inception to an idea which
was bold, apparently practicable and GER
tainly worthy of the very highest praise
as an attempt to see what could be done
by that mightiest of all powers, except the
the mind of man!

Is IT not possible that we may be put
ting too many eggs into one basket
Everything In this country graYitates
towards one grand centre, sugar; and the
success of large portion of the sugar
speculations depends upon the continuance
of the Treaty. Now there certainly are
many industries which our young men
could enter into, that, without bringing in
the magnificent returns which sugar does.
would yield a comfortable living, and by
industry and thrift, decent competence
for declining years. There is hardly an
article Of domestic use that we do not i'm
port from the Coast, and certainly many
of the things that are imported might Just
as well be raised here. What has become
of the potato cultivation? AT one time
the Island potatoes were considered the
best in the market, far superior to either
those from the Coast or New Zealand.
Why do we import our hays Even butter,
though it is made here, the quantity of tits
not large enough to supply the demand of
home consumption, and the retailers are
obliged to supplement their stocks from
the San Francisco market. Then. again.

We are by no means alone in our con-
demnation of Pools and Race-sweeps.
The subject occupies the columns of the
Australian papers, and in Sydney action
has been commenced against the prom
oters of sweeps and they have been fined.
There the evil is reaching gigantic pro-
portions; it is estimated that during the
Spring meetings at Sydney and Mel
bourne, capital Of 100000, say $780,
600, was invested; and it is argued
that so large sum, though subscribed in
small amounts, in part by people to whom
a few pounds more or less makes no diff
ference, is in large proportion drawn
from the pockets of those who cannot
afford it. Moreover, it is not a casual
entrance into a sweep which does the
harm, it is the continued drain. OF all
those who enter for a sweep, how many
win in the long run? In fact how many
win at all very few; and the actual
loss upon any one pool or sweep may not
be large, but if a man, who is in the habit
of rising his money, will calculate up
what he has spent in this way, say in six
months, he VIII find the sum total show
ing a serious drain on his resources, even
though he had made a little coup" dur
ing the time.
The people who conduct sweeps may do,
and as a fact actually do, carry them on
in a strictly honorable manner, everything
may be fair and above board; but none
the less is the thing bad in itself, and
demoralizing to the community; it pre-
sents temptation which, to many people,
is hard to resist. This is question which
ought to occupy the mind of the Govern
ment and of the public as well. Everyone
is more or less directly interested in see
ing action taken upon the matter We
said two weeks ago, and we repeat it
to-day, that it is absolutely absurd that
Chinese, who are caught card-playing for
money, should be so stringently dealt with,
hauled off and fined the very moment the
police can pounce on them, and a system
of gambling, much more extensive in
operation, should be allowed to be carried
on, with hardly word of protest, let
alone any attempt at legal action.

We were somewhat surprised yesterday
to hear that Mr. w. NJ Gibson had been
appointed tax assessor for the city of
Honolulu. The appointment has however
been withdrawn This matter is very
important one and should attract the at
tention of every business man and pro
perty holder in town. An appointment
should certainly be made at as early a
date as possible, for the Minister Of
Finance has delayed making it till he is
almost without the limits allowed by law.
We may presume that ere next week some
definite action VIII have been taken
Upon this we viii make no comment at
present. but we shall look forward to what
takes place during the next few days with

The position of journalists in Japan does not
seem very comfortable one; they are constantly
getting into hot water water with the authorities
and are fined and imprisoned ad Hbifum. SO
hardly have they been used that a new branch
has been added TO most of the newspaper offices
in Japan. A broken down fellow is hired to oc-
cupy the nominal position Of editor, and when the
marched off to the prison where he works out his
sentence while fresh dummy fills his place. The
imprisoned one can readily find employment when
he has worked out his term. 1t would probably be
good idea for those countries which are over
burdened with tramps to export few to Japan.
The dummy" editorship would be Just the place
for them.

ScJibHeJ's Mdgdzine for July has taken new de-
parture; it has for long been avowedly the best
edited magazine in the United States and England
but it has kept clear of politics. The July num-
Der however, gives us paper which proIni ses to
extend over series of articles upon the present
condition of American politics. SoI'ibNef is pc
culiarly we'll adapted for publishing articles writ
ten in the impartial manner which the one under
review uses. The magazine has enormous cir
cuation entirely irrespective of politics. and finds
its way into homes of all shades of political
thought. The article is ably written, evidently by
one who has thought over and studied the problem
he is handling deeply-the writer has merely laid
as at present carried on, entail upon the nation.
Numbering his headings the author states, LIST,
that the system has given the United States mot
peoples government but the tyranny of an cleo
ton machine;" I'd, the election machine virtually
disfranchises the people, destroys the free choice
by the people of their public officers Sd, that the
election machine makes slaves of the public ofii-
GERS; 4th, that the power has been centralized in
the hands of an oligarchy 9Th, that the respon-
sibilty of public servants is destroyed 9th, that
the efficiency of public service is destroyed; 7th,
that the public service is corrupted; Sth, that the
present system gives the control of the public
service to the great money powers; 9Th, in fact,
that the peoples will is not only not represented,
but it is actually defed. Under such o comprehen-
drawn out which is certainly worth any mans
while to read, whether he agrees with it not.
Certainly many of the blots which all intelligent
citizens of the United States agree are to be found
in the present administrative machinery, are ably
touched upon. Next month promised
paper which will propose remedies; that we shall
look forward to with interest, but we have grave
doubts as to its being satisfactory ii is so much
more easy to point out defects than to propose a
remedy.
