Kohala Items.

We are having the warmest weather within the
memory Of the oldest inhabitant, but slight showers
at intervals tend to keep the crops looking fairly.
Quite a number of Kohala people go to Honolulu
this week as witnesses in the case of Johnson
against Tisdale, for alleged eXtortion.
+ Mr.. Furneaux is in town, and will make q visit of
,lt ten days. We are glad to welcome him
here.
We notice a number o fnew building going up in
different parts of the district, which speaks well
of Our thrift.
Our old resident and friend, Ben. Pangehir III,
was married to one Of the new arrivals per Hansa
on Friday, September 81. The bride is a fine
looking girl, and we congra tulate Ben. VIC also
congratulate the bride, for 4 better fellow than
Ben. il is hard 10 lind. His reception at Dramatic
Hall was 4 great success.
Giant powder again comes 10 the front, at the ex-
panse of Il hand and eve of a native living at Kinds
moved by Drs. Thompson and Kimball. When is
this thing going to stop?
Her Majesty Queen Emma has, during the past
week. honored us with a visit. causing much en-
thusiasm. Large crowds of natives met her at the
depot, escorted her to the residence of Mr.. Henry
Hooke, where a fine feast was laid. Or Tuesday
evening last Mr.. and Mrs. James Wood gave Il
reception to Her Majesty at the kohala Club
Rooms, where all the prominent foreigners and
natives were presented. The affair, though gotten
up on short notice, was a brilliant success, and the
festivities were kept up till 4 late hour.
Another case for the English Government to
enquire into. Mr.. Ewert claims that he did not
get justice from the native courts, and as appeal
was denied him, he proposes to put his case i'll the
hands of his Government, Just so long as ignor.

we have trouble of this kind,
a woman was thrown from a car at Mahukona,
and suffered a fracture of the arm. Mr.. White at
once telephOned the doctors, who were soon on the
spot, and she was soon able tO>raturn home.
We are sorry to learn Mrs. James Renton is
suffering from a severe illness. She has our best
wishes for a speedy recovery.

Hawaii.

Extract of a letter from q well-known and
highly esteemed foreign resident of Hawaii, to a
friend i'll town
There is a decided disposition, among our
people of thought and observation that the Glib
son Ministry should have a fair opportunity to
prove what they can do. This opinion is ex-
pressed by~many who do not like Gibson, and
were always doubtful Of his administrative abili-
ties. During the three months of Legislative
wrangle, the executive had no opportunity to
try their hands; and rs they are not yet in re
ceipt of taxes, or any large amount of revenue
to work with it is unfair to denOunce at this
early day their administration. l think, and
others think that it will be reasonable to wait
and see how they will get along with the loan
how they will dispose of the tax receipt and
what they will do for the sanitary improvement,
immigration, roads, and bridges, encouragement
of agriculture and other matters, during. the
next six or nine months; and if after such a pc
period, concurrent public opinion pronounces
failure, then it will be the time to ask that they
step out-and if they do reasonably well, they
will of course stay in,v

By Pilot McIntyrc'S orders the anchor was lmme-
dlately let 90. and subsequently, slipped IN
order that tie ship might stand out TO

70 the reef, aud no efforts availed 10 get

irreparsbly damaged during the night, she will no

Throughout the day she rolled very heavily, and,
about ~haif-past five her main and mizen topmasts
came down. The windmill which was used 10

midnight the second schooner load of wheat was
alongside the mail dock. The report at that hour
was that the foremost was still standing D feet 8

The ship Niagara appears 70 be firmly fixed ON
the rocks. She did not roll al all on Thursday, but
had a slight list on the port side 1t appears
probable that she met with the same cyclone as
the Clans SpTeckels. The captain then threw
overheard 2000 sacks Of wheat. and she has been
leaking till her arrival here There are now nearly
- feet Of water in the hold, and the quantity Is
in -lsins. The a~fterpart Of the deck Is a mass Of
- IS, ropes, and rigging, some Of the spars appear
ii imminent danger of falling. Nearly 400 tons OF
wheat have been landed, besides some Of the sails,
etc. As IL Will be impossible to save the ship, every
effort Is being made TO save as much as possible of
her contents. 4 private inquiry as 70 the cause of the
wreck Is being held by the British Commissioner
The captain does not know what, If any, insurance
there is on the hull or cargo.

EDITORIAL ARTICLES.

From the Daily Pacific Commercial AdUrrtiser.)
WE find the following in the October
humble of h Friend =
The PRESIDENTS FLAG.-The President is to
have a special flag of his own. 1t is fourteen feet
long by eleven feet broad, the material Of navy
blue bunting. In the centre is the American coat
Of arms. the eagle holding in its mouth the pen
nan, ON which Is inscribed E Pluribus Unum,'
and perched on a shield, graphing i'll one claw a
bunch Of arrows and in the other a bunch Of oak
leaves. Above the cOat-Of-arms, arranged in 4
semi-circle, are thirteen white stars. representing
the thirteen original States. One will be placed on
board of each United States vessel and whenever the
President goes on board one Of these vessels the
Presidents faS viii fly from the mainmast."
And having read these lines we thought
we heard "a familiar voice enchanting, Now
We would like to ask what good is hoped To
Toe gained 10y this new flag? Is il DING to
add dignity TO the President of the United
States or to his administration ?" SIS this
innovation going to add the slightest
strength to Mr.. ATthur's occupation of the
Presidential chair The mere Haunting in
the air of a Presidential flag will not make
him more a President in the latter half of
the year 1882 than he was at the beginning
of it," Washington ana Jefferson, Adams
and Jackson have passed away, and not
one of them enjoyed the felicity of having
4 Presidents flag. The very flag Itself, as
we'll as the details of its emblazonTy, has
had to- be evolved from the inner conscious
ness of srme one, and it can scarcely be
said that any one in the United States can
quote from experience how a Presidents
flag ought to be put together" We fancy

we have heard just those words about some
thing else. Can any one tell Us where and
what about
Well, for our own part, we take quite "a
different view of the matter. The United
States. from the earliest days of their
separate entity as a commonwealth, have
recognised aud openly acknowledged the
pTopriety of using symbolical insignia OF
office by requiring the judges of their
highest courts to wear official robes. The
idea seems to be innate in the human being,
and in no races more thoroughly so than IN
those Teutonic ones from which the bulk or
the population ofthe United States has been
derived. And who can say that there IS any
harm in it? Why should not the great
and useful Benevolent Orders which flourish
nowhere more vigorously than in the
United States and thus fiourishing make
of the insignia and regalia with which they
decorate their Officers-why should they
not thus recognise the ranks and degrees
established among them both in the phi
vacy of their lodges and openly before the
face of all n EN-? Or to take an example
which comes home to every man except
those Grabbed specimens of humanity who
go through life in single crnstiness-What
would the marriage be TO US did
not the groom taxi the hand Of his beloved
and place on her finger that golden symbol
of the pledge his lips have given? Yes,
this symbolism belongs to human nature
Oh its truest and purest side, and comes out
strongest when our social instincts are
arOu ed by the highest and most inno-
cent emotions. Let President Arthur have
the breeze over the heads of great and .obie

The Opposition Platform.
Communicated. /

We like a good opposition to government. 1t
is healthful wherever representative government
prevails. We have looked into the proposed
measures and discussions of the present oppo-
sItIon. Like Diogenes searching for truth, We
have searched for some good thing the oppo-
sition have brought forward, and this is about
all We find
Gibson is Premier-this is "a grievance
The Coronation will be an oppressive bur
den ON taxpayers" especially if all have to
provide gloves and regulation trains.
1--WE must have good government. We have
not had any these many years.
For in brag is our trust,
And wen down with the dust,
Or bust.
Gibson dreamed l. of being a hoary-ental po-
tentate." And he is something of the sort.
1.-The coronation farce will need n mounte-
bank in tights, and the boozing Bos'n in Pima

Alatau is the prophet of the oppressed.
"Gibson partnkes "of chops and tomato

Repeat all this several times and it is about

Maui Items.

Interesting meeting, were held at Haiku every
night thi, week by Dr.. Lame Of Wailuku, assisted
by Rev. ". Z. Alexander and the local minister.
Nice shower fell at Haiku on Tuesday night.
Capt. Duttun aud Mr.. s. T. Alexander. made 4
trip ovor through Haleakala crater to Hama, and
returned via koolaT.

hills until they got the level, then put in the
pipes covered by an arched roof. The Spreckels
mills now appear to be too far away from the
cane, and the probabilities are that two more mills
and works will be put up Immediately, back of
Kahului, distant about one and a half miles.

matters.
Everybody on Maui has had a good square look
at the comet and wishes lie had made his appear
ance Oh dark nights instead of early morning
when the moon and early dawn take away much
of the effect.
The great ID OF October has come and gone, but
1T was no different To any other day here, there
have been no arrests for drunkenness on the is
land of Maui, from Sunday the LIST, until now, the
9th. The natives are everywhere r~ejoiced that the
tabu is removed, but do not for that reason wish
to indulge their appetites for drink as much as
they did before so far they have acted better than
any other people on the face of the earth would
have done under the same conditions.
The new cane OF Grove Ranch Is about the best
looking ever seen on East Maui. The expected
yield per acre is seven tons.
The Maui roads are in a very good condition, the
road over the mountain has just been fixed up, and
is now in as good a condition as it is possible to
make it over such country. From a careful view
of the foot of the mountain there seem to be very few
engineering difficulties to be overcome IN making a
railroad there-the distance is not more than four
~miles-there are not more than five gulches that
need trestle-work, only two of which are at all
difficult to cross. When Wailuka and Waikapu
join their cane fields to Spreckels' on the plains
this railroad Will become a necessity, and if not
put through with government money will go
through by private enterprise and capital.
Lahaina roadstead looked gay on Thursday,
there wer0 three schooners and the Lchua laying
at anchor, while in the channel the J. H. Black
was steaming by, and three other schOOners were
passing. All those lying at anchor were loaded
with railroad material for Mr.. Turton.
Lahaina folks have been good enough to sub
scribe over 5000 for a new harmonium for the
church Of the Holy Innocents, the Rev. Mr.
Turton, the pastor, is in town and will take the
new harmonium back with him next week.

The Stnte Of the Streets.

Mr.. EDITOR Who is responsible for the
state of the streets? Everywhere mud or dust,
dust or mud. Have you IL corporation or a Min
lister responsible? What would be the cost of u
street scraper, or IA few Hawaiians with brooms
in your principal thorOughfares. Have you
more than one water cart and why does it never
visit the streets at a short distance from the
town?
Who is responsible for the state of your side
walks? They are n credit to the inhabitants! A
section of wood pavement, then a few tiles, then
dust, tchieiy dust steps projecting on them
some parts higher, some wider than others; yea,
verify they are indeed a snare and pit fall to the
unwary traveller. Oh ye citizens of much faith,
why is this thusness tolerated..
Yours, PEDESTRIAN.

The eocoa, with its crest OF spears.
staEds sentry round the crescent shoru.
And algerobs, bent with years.
Keeps watch beside the Ianai's door.
The cool winds fan the msngo's cheek.
The mynAh aits from tree TO tree.
And zephyrs to the roses speak
Their sweetest words at waikiki.
Like truant children of the deep
Escaped behind q coral wall,
The hsping wsvelets laugh and leap,
Nor heed old oceans stern recall.
All day they frolic with the sands.
Kiss pink-lipped shells in wznton glee.
Make winrows with their pattins hands,
And, singing, sleep at Waikiki.
The closing curtsin Of the night
Is Shading down the gold 10 gray:
And on the reef the hsring light
OF brown-armed fishers, far away.
Dyes red the waves thst thunder by
The sturdy bulwarks OF the sea.
And breaking into rippIets, die
Upon the breast of waikiki
Now come wild echoes through the air.
And shadow Of a rugged face.
With iron limbs and shoulders bare
Theehieftsin of Il dusAy r-ce.
(Whose hostile front, with lifted lance.
And war-prows hecking all the sea,
swept through the palms with bold advance
Along the shores Of Waikiki.
And all unchecked in msatial course
by menace or the spear of foe.

Their ohi-ftsin leading as they go,

Till, lookins down through clouds. they see
The b%eetling front of Diamond Head
And silver sands of waikiki.

While mingled with the ylangylang's scent

And from Disblo's vine-c:ai feet.
From desert bleak and green Alsumee.

As e'er were lie lrd at Waikiki.
