WEDNESDAY, MAY 3, 1882.


The one subject which is just at
this moment the topic Of discussion
in public and private, throughout the
length and breadth Of these Islands,
is the proposed legislation prohibit
ing the importation, manufacture
and sale of all alcoholic beverages.
Copies of u printed petition, in both
languages, have been sent into every
district, and probably not a house or
hut, from one end of the group to
the other, but will be visited by
Jealous canvassers for signatures.
AS none of the other journals of this
city have printed this petition, we
hereby put it on record in the
columns of the BULLETIN:
To TIE HONORABLE THE LEGISLATIVE
ASSEMBLY OF THE HAWAIIAN Is
LANDS:
The Undersigned, Residents Of
the Kingdom, Respectfully represent
that the consumption of Spirituous
Liquors has of late alarmingly
increased that this increase has
been graater than the growth Of the
population for the same period; that
in consequence thereof vagrancy,
crime, and disorder have multiplied,
increasing the burden of taxation
and endangering the peace Of the
Community; that the morals OF the
youth are corrupted, and that useful
lives are thereby destroyed; that en-
pcrience has shown that in this coun-
try there are especial difficulties in
executing the laws intended to re-
strain the sale and use Of Intoxicating
liquors, while other laws allow such
liquors to be imported without limit; ;
that thinking men all over the civilized
world are rapidly adopting the
opinion that the use OF Intoxicating
drinks by any one is wasteful and
injurious, and ought no longer to
have the sanction Of law; and that
the present moment is . favorable
opportunity for the Hawaiian King
dom to take IN advanced position on
this subject among the sisterhood of
nations. Your petitioners therefore
pray, in behalf OF themselves and
for the good Of all who dwell in
these Islands, that a law, applying
equally to all classes, may be enacted
prohibiting the importation as well
as the manufacture and sale Of all
alcoholic beverages.
That such law as is here pro-
posed, ifthoroughly executed, would
be a blessing to the country, both
morally and materially, no one will
probably deny. But there are many
things to be said by both sides of the
controversy, and which will doubt
less be often recaphulated in the
discussions that will come UP in the
Assembly. We may expect decid-
ed sensation when the monster petit
ton shall be rolled into the House;
and we shall look about with con-
siderable interest for the member
who is to immortalize his name rs
the introduccr of the Hawaiian Pro-
hibitory Liquor Law.

The wearing of the painfully tight trousers
at present IN vogue is attended with consider
able inconvenience. When a young man
thus adorned sits down he is obliged to pull
up his inexpressibles in order that the incl
dental strain may not cause them to bag at
the knee, and when he gets up they refuse to
iall back into place again. He is, therefore,
compelled, by fear of disastrous results if he
stoops, to go about with his ankles exposed,
or to hire somebody to attend him and to
pull his trousers down over his shoes when
ever occasion requires. This. of course, is
awkward, ard to the last degree painful to
sensitive mind. 1t will, therefore, be joyous
news to our fashionable youth to learn that
alankee genius has invented contrivance
0y which every man may be the adJuster fhis
own trousers. Like all great inventions it is
very simple, consisting only of two cords,
winch lead down each trousers leg from the
0ot'om of the pockets, and can be operated
without attracting attention. When the
o"ner OF this contrivance seats himself a
s'ght pull on one cord quickly draws
up his pantaloons to any desired height,
.nu when he rises the strengthening OF
.'s knees acts automatically upon slender
'u' stout cord which runs under the ball
VI MS loot and the garment reaches his shoe

'as'ed. Barring a slight tendency on the
