main sound and just. A jury must find the
truth Of the material facts alleged before
divorce can be granted by the District Judge,
but he is not bound by the verdict to grant a
divorce as a matter Of course. The defendant
is also required to be represented by an atior-
ney. This is wise and proper. But, Il strikes
me, that Il would be wise in the Legislature
to repeal the statute making abandonment one
Of the grounds Of divorce, inasmuch as II is
often grossly abused. Men and women, liv-
ing in other STATES, move TO Texas frequently
for the purpose Of obtaining a divorce
on the grounds Of abandonment by
the other party. They move into
other States for a like purpose, just as
they flock into Illinois, without becoming
bona fde citizens. There is no doubt the
alleged abandonment is the result Of collu.
sion, is oecasioned by the very party who
seeks divorce, or is the result Of ft OF
sudden passion in a majority Of cases. Then,
as the witnesses reside in a distant State, and
are personally unknown to the court, there is
a large margin for the fabrication Of test-
mony favorable to the applicant. The pro.
ceeding is necessarily exparte, notwilhstand-
ing the defendant is represented by an attor-
ney appointed for the purpose, since the at
torney knows not what witnesses to examine
to disprove the charges alleged in the petition,
and has no opportunity Of consulting with the
defendant, only one side is heard. b.

The Divorce Question.

One Of the evils which is growing and
spreading so rapidly as to fill thoughtful
minds with alarm and apprehension, is the
prodigious increase 10 the number Of divorces.
This increase in the number Of divorces is not
confined to few Sta'es Of the Union, nor is
the increase more notable in the new States,
whittier people go to mend their fortunes. but
very often spend their pittances in going there
and then are left in position like ship that

Explorations On Maui.

Professor Alexander who has just returned
from Maui where he has been making some
fresh explorations with Mr.. Douglas Monsarrat
reports some very important discoveries i'll the
region east of the great crater of Haleakala,
which had hitherto been almost uneXplored,
The party made the ascent from Makawao and
went across the crater and up the north side.
They camped four nights about two miles east
Of the great crater towards Hama, near n small
lake named Wal Ale. Beyond the crater and
separated from it by a low ridge is a large valley
which was probably a second crater, from two
to three miles wide and from 800 to
1000 feet deep heavily wooded with a dense inn
penetrable forest, This ancient crater belongs
to the Kipahulu district, and is said to be the
property of Captain Thomas Clark, it had evil
IDENTIFY discharged itself through a gap known
as the Alae nui valley, and formed the district
of Kipahulu where Captain Clark's plantation is.
A low ridge separates the Kipahulu valley from
the island basin of Hama which is perhaps a
continuation of the great crater of Kipahulu,
Just described, and had its outlet in the land Of
Kakio. To the northeast is a large plateau COW
cred with craters, all of which are heavily
wooded, and the natives say there are more
mountain lakes besides those seen by Professor
Alexander. In clear weather the scenery ut this
point is not surpassed in grandeur by anything
in the islands. The weather was at times too
cloudy for making observations, but sufficient
information has been obtained, to clear up the
physical geography of east Maui, and a map
of this island will probably be published at the
end of the year. A party of ladies recently went
across the Haleakala crater, and expressed
themselves as being we'll repaid with what they
had seen for all the dificulti-s they had en-
countered and successfully overcome in the
journey.

The Opposition.

An opposition writer calls Upon the King
''tO do right and that his subjects, native
and foreign, will be a. one with him"
Never was there u time when the King Of
Hawaii was more popular among his peo-
pie, native and foreign, than he is at the
present time, and this sort of talk Of an 9p-
position, about 'the people sorrowing over
evil coun5els," aud .'let u certain glamor of
evil influence be removed and the King
will become u d" popular monarch is abso-
Lutte balderdash.
In view of the present prosperity and the
satisfactory condition of the country, we
ask who has got u grievance, who has been
invaded in his rights, who has been unjust
ly taxed and who has been prevented from
carrying out any legitimate enterprise? The
industry of the country has formed itself
into organizations, the Government aiding
such enterprise in every proper way funds
provided according to the revenue have
been applied for legitimate objects and all
j. going well i'm Hawaii. Therefore all this
bowling of an Interested and subsidized OPP
position goes for nothing and Is absolutely
of nOu-effeci. This opposition discussion,es -
pecially against Nicholson, Is merely the old
rant of jealousy and ill-will which was just
as strong before he went into office rs it is
now that he is in Office. Let anyone look
back at the files of the opposition press of
Honolulu and he will see that all this strong
representation of dissatisfaction with the
Gibson Ministry is precisely the same kind
of talk that was uttered when Mr.. Gibson
was a leading opposition member in the
Legislative Assembly. The opposition is
mere personal prejudice and it is appreci-
ated a. such. 1t is without result and can
accomplish nothing until it becomes a fair
and representative discussion of principles
and measures, and not a mere expression
of prejudice and hate against an indivi-
dual. I

The-Mariposa.

The arrival of the steamship MaripOsa
marks an epoch in the maritime
Of this country. She il the first steamer
built expressly for the trade between these
islands and the United States of America
thai has entered our harbOr. Her large size,
her splendid outfit and her remarkable
speed Indicate ut once the actual import
ance of the trade for which she is a Compel
itor, and the enterprise of those men whose
interest i'll Hawaiian commerce has led
them to make so resOlute a venture as the
building of the Mariposa and her sister
ship. We nave had steamer communities
ton Of what we may call al accidental
kind, with the Pacific Coast of America for
many years. But the MaripOsa is the pio-
neer of what we may claim as a domestic
line. Well might the Government tender
to her and to the worthy representative Of
her owners a true Hawaiian Aloha when
she appeared off our coast. When she ar
rived after the unprecedented passage of five
days and twenty-One hours, strains of music,
the acclaim of q thousand voices and the
booming OF guns were just the proper an
uOuncements Of an event which signaliZes
a complete revolution in our means ofcom-
munication with the Coast. Not often i'll
the history Of these islands have we had so
important and at the same time so welcome
a visitor as the steamship Mariposa. We
hail il as an event of the highest import
ance to the country.
With the MaripOsa we are glad to well
come back again the genial friend of Ha-
waii to whose enterprise and enthusiasm
we owe this important addition to our COM
mercial facilities-COl Claus Spreckels, and
among other visitors whom the MaripOsa
has brought TO our sea-girt realm, we may
specify another for a hearty welcome-Gen-
eral Miller, a Senator of the United States,
a man of eminence in the political world
of that great country which is our ~neighbor,
our most interested ally and our most stable
friend. Coming As he does to see for him
self what we are and what possibilities are
before Us, he will be able to note, not only
the progress we have made aul the certain
ties at which We have arrived, but also the
public spirit with which everything that
tends 10 our advancement is applauded by
the Hawaiian people.

50, 400, of which 81, 900 still remains unpaid. In
this Kingdom where there are soma SOD Chi

owners are to a great extent dependent for their
labor, it would not be at all out Of place for the
planters to contribute and asst then in their en-
deavors to supply themselves with the means of re-
ligious instruction. The wages of the ordinary
Chinese labOrer are not very large, aud con se-
quently his contribution cannot be large, bat the
Chinese merchants and storekeepsrs have assisted
literally and will be only too grateful for any out
side Assistance.

London, July 1Sth.-The town of Bedford
is in great excitement over Il lawn tennis
tragedy. A party yesterday We're playing
lawn tennis near Ship Inn at st. Cuth-
bert's in the centre of the town. Among
the players were Mr.. Davere, an army Off
Ger, and Miss Mckay, an exceedingly
pretty young lady twenty years of age.
Suddenly, without prOvocation, Davere
pulled out a revolver and shot Miss Mckay
dead. He then bleW out his own brains.
Both victims are we'll known in society
and in both cases the only surviving rela-
tives are widows. 1t is believed that jeal-
ousy was the motive of the crime.

A Sad Suicide.

Mr.. A. Christian, master Of the schooner Nettie
Merrill, reported on Thursday on his arrival from
Lahaina that he left there Wednesday evening and
that before his departure news had been received
that Mrs. H. J. Agnew, wife Of Mr.. Agnew, the
proprietor Of the Enterprise Feed Company, in
Honolulu, who was a passenger by the Likelike
leaving here on Tuesday last, had jumped over
board at half-past seven on that evening when in
mid-channel between Oahu and Molokai. The
weather was very rough but a boat was immedi-
ately lowered, and with a boat from the Lehua.
which was in the neighborhood, searched the local
ity for over an hour without indin! any trace of
the unfortunate woman. Mrs. AEncw only arriy-
ed ON Monday morning from the Colonies where
she had been visiting some friends. No reasons
whatever can be assigned for the mOurnful act by
those who were well acquainted with the deceased
and know her to have been a most hospitable, good
natured and kind woman. Mr.. Agnew, as might
be expected, was terribly cut up when he heard the
sad tidings.
