Mr.. EDITOR The chief of our hosts, the

whom the nations trembled; the pussant dis.
tributor Of tax assessor and district Judge ships.
even David, our King, has turned over new
leaf
He has become wearied with the vanities
and follies of his past life, and now wishes to
earn his living like an honest man.
Action speaks louder than words and the
country is to be congratulated upon the recen,
evidences of reformation. "HoouIu Lahxi "
was his original motto, but somehow or other
the thing would never work, and now "Hoo-

ment of the resources Of the kingdom, and as
the means of transportation between Honolulu
and Waianae are entirely inadequate to the
need OF the teeming thousands Of that populous
district, he has given up his pleasure yacht, the
Hflani, and turned her over into freight boat
to bring pigs and rice from Waianae. This
sacrificing to the interests of commerce
and an extension of the mercantile marine is
only eqalied by his far-sighted endeavors to
meet the sudden rush Of business which must
inevitably follow this development Of resources
knowing that the small number of express
wagons in Honolulu would be unable to dis
pose Of the ireigh, and passengers with which
the Adam would deluge the wharf, he has
generously devoted portion OF his hard earned
salary tothe building Of new wagons, sufficient
M number to meet the emergency
This development OF the mercantile spirit in
our beloved chief is one OF the happiest signs
OF the times, and We beg to be allowed TO ten
der our eongratulalion to the people and
thanks to his gracious majesty for il.
An unscrupulous opposition has had the lack
OF good taste to suggest that the Hslani was
turned into freight boat because there was
not spare cash enough left from the appropri.
alton for expenses Of foreign visitors to pay for
her, and that the express wagon venture is an
un~auantable invasion by the executive, Of
the means Of livelihood Of private citizens; bu,
for such We have nothing but scorn, and hereby
declare them to be the wild vagaries Of disap-
pointed Office seekers and sore heads.

MR.. EDITOR Judge Bickerton says in his

self would have been relieved of responsible
in the matter. 1t was the very fact that he
acted 7oifhom either authority" or illegal
process, that constituted the gravity of the
offence. Whether the Marshal can be considered
as having acted in his official capacity or not,
1t is very evident that he himself thought he
was. If he did not think SO, he became
common marauder, and should have been in
dicted for malicious injury, instead of being
made only the subject Of a civil process. If his
Official capacity departs spontaneously with
any illegal act, it may do so with all, and if
that official capacity can Immediately again
attach upon the completion Of such acts, it
would seem that the Marshal can be officially

DEFENDANTS BRIEF.
| The facts are clear, with no suggestions o
doubt, that this defendant did not at the time
ofprinting said pamphlet, and does not nov
know its meaning or contents, being ignorant
Of the language in which it is written
This is an absolute defence.
II is necessary, in order to make out a crimi.
nal offence, that either there be proof Of know
ledge or bad intent, or else that the act itself
be Of nature which necessarily includes
knowledge Of its illegality. For instance,
larceny, or passing counterfeit money, or re.
ceiying stolen goods requires in order to be
criminal that guilty knowledge be shown. II
the act be by common law or common
reason unlawful in itself, irrespective Of intent,
motive or knowledge, then no intent, no ignor-
ance or actual innocence will avail. But this
is not such a case. ain an indictment for

The law concerning the printing Of a libel is
not applicable in a case of this nature, for the

well defined reasons. But even in libel case
it was decided by the Supreme Court in Rex

must be specifically averred.

And that same decision is also made in .SmiM

"lf the defendant had no knowledge that the
article published was libellous, he has been
guilty of no wrong" In the present case, the
Court itself has said that it cannot understand
without expert testimony the meaning Of this
pamphlet. How then can this defendant be

defence is not defence of the nature or OBJ

hear, its possible meaning is not open for dis

shown merely to have allowed his employee,
at the request of an employee of the Hawaiian
Government, to print paper in the Hawaiian
language for the intended and actual use of
certain officers Of the Government, that he be
acquitted.

The Protestants in Madrid have hospital
with eight beds. They found that it would not
do to send their converts to be nursed by sisters
OF mercy in the catholic hospitals, as they were
constantly mportuned to confess and return to
The church Of Rome. Mr.. Fletner says he once
followed two sisters in the largest hospital in
Madrid from bed to bed. They carried a large
basket Of clean linen; at each bed they asked
if the patient had confessed. If the answer
was in the affirmative he was provided with
clean linen, if the contrary, he got none.

THE NEW BOARD OF EDUCATION.

The new Board of Education, appointed in
the place of that which was ousted for not ex.
pelling the Superintendents of the Fort Street
School and the Reformatory School, one Of
whom was the Editor of the Haaaiian Gazette
and the other the Proprietor of the Dali,
Bulletin, because these gentlemen had quoted
in their respective newspapers an article from
that powerful sheet, the Nfso York Herald,
commenting on our King, have had their first
session.
II this was the true reason for the expulsion
of the former Board Of Education, then has
not the new board at once fallen into the same
condemnation because they have not expelled
these teachers who are still in Officer
How is it they have gone back on themselves
and have not carried out the programme for
which they were put in the place of the old
board1
1t is also reported to US that on the evening
Of Saturday last, that being the time when the
charnel house that contained the ancient
corPses Of Hawaii mel was re-opened, the eyes
OF some OF the members of the new Board Of
Education, viz; Of Hon. w. NJ. Gibson, T..
Preston and ID. l.. kinimaka were looking at
tentively on to see that the full tale Of young
Hawaiian children was present for the per.
Torrance Of the hula km. whilst their voices
were ringing with mirth. as il they approved
OF such amusements being taught to the Ha-
waiian children. And il they shared in this
mith at these performances, was not this to
allow the inference to be drawn that they were
agoing to have this department introduced into
the schools, that thus their senseless mirth
might be prolongedl
II is a shameful thing to see little children
taught to be expert in these disgusting per
formances, and it will be means of diverting
their attention from the pursuit Of education in
the future.
The Hawaiian hula Is a sacrifice before the
altar d Laka, the god Of the hula, and an
alurement to adultery and uncleanness. And
to consent to have little children perform the
hula before public audience is to roll back
the car ofour boosted civilization to the be.

Therefore, as We earnestly desire to advance

our times in enlightenment, it is the duty Of
every citizen who seeks the prosperity Of Ha
wall to stand up and repel such education in
crime as we have just been opposing.
I'm the old times there lived on Hawaii two
brothers Of some rank, who bore the name
Of Waawaaik The older was shrewd and
bright and was accordingly known as waa-
waaikinaauao, the younger was densely dull

obscene thoughts Of the grossest and most
Polluting sort, such were the performances in

OF a large crowd Of young persons and adults.
The performances lasted from three O'Clock in
the afternoon till the midnight hours. The
end of all the performances of that night was
drunkenness Many were drunk and out of
this grew disturbance, as was reported to us
by those who went there.
Are these the kind of performances to give |
to Hawaii mel the reputation Of being an en-. |
lightened nation Other lands will not find in
such public performances as these a reason for |
esteeming us. 1t is said that when certain |
Hawaans went there and clearly perceived |
the character Of what was done, blush of |
shame mantled their cheeks, they cast down
their eyes and averted their faces, saying,
THESE performances were BETTING the age of
deepest darkness, but they are not fit for this
age"
We have also heard that a mother took her
little girl from boarding school, where she
was pupil, TO amuse her by the sight of the
performances; but when this mother saw what
was being done by this band of hula dancers.
she Immediately turned about and took her
child back to the school. We cannot withhold
our admiration from others in our midst who
have expressed their detestation of these be.

Our attention is frequently attracted to the
prevalence Of smoking by licensed drivers Of
carriages, clerks in government as well as pr.
vate employ, etc, while transacting business.
Now while this habit may not be Objectionable
to some people at appropriate times, it must
be admitted that it is very offensive to many
and especially ladies. The disregard which
drivers of public carriages seem to observe Of
the rights and comfort Of their passengers, is a
subject of much complaint, and ought to be
Iemedied in some way.
