twelve months we have seen a great deal
Of roadway and streets macadamized.
and the result has been unsatisfactory
Our streets in the city and roads in the
suburbs are always in state, either of
mud or dust, twenty-four hours of change
Of weather changes the macadam from mud
to dust, or the converse. Worse still: a
roadway that has not borne one year 5
traffic shows irregularities; undulations,
hollows or ridges and quantities of loose
stone detached mar what ought to be
the firm, road surface.
For instance: Take Nuuanu Avenue.
part Of which has Just been rolled again
by the steam roller, why should this be ?
We have suitable MATERIAL a steam stone
crusher. stone roller, and not over
heavy traffic.
The answer is: that Maeadam's three
fundamental rules are wholly ignored.
First: the stone used here is not broken
small enough-one TO two ounces. or at
most not more than si1-should be the
maximum. Second: our roads are too
high pitched; one foot rise in the centre of
road sixty feet wide, or even four inches
IN width OF forty feet was his rule Third:
no top dressing, the loose friable earth so
lavshly spread on our roads, serves no
purpose whatever but to create mud or
dust-as the weather may bc-wet or dry.
Another fault in our Macadam. is dump
ing by cartloads, instead of by shovel
iulls- Another fault is leaving the newly
lad stone to I've the effects Of chance or
current traffic, several days before rolling.
Hotel street Is a notable ins ,tance of this.
This street was imperfectly picked up.
covered with heaps Of imJlerfectly broken
stone, then left to the disJ ilacing influence
of weeks traffic; then comes the steam
roller and crushes down the misshapen
roadway next comes the earth and black
sand, and the whole is rol led down into an
Ill shapen roadway The consequence is
rapid break up and ever p resent mud
Macadam had not the advantage Of
steam roller, but while his roads were ma
turing under the wear and ear OF traffic he
always had hands with rJll es perpetually
keeping the road in shape. Here then is
the reason Of our muddy, dusty, uneven
roads or streets. stones too large, centre of
road too high, top-dressiIlg & wholly super
nuons' road mis-shapen by traffic before
final settlement.

The remarks made by the Sugar Com
missioners at Kohala last Friday are
extremely reassuring. These gentlemen
came here primarily to investigate certain
alleged frauds. Proof again and again
has been offered that there was nothing in
this cry about importing sugars from
China and Manila; proof has as often
been given of our integrity in exporting
to the United States after 1876, the treaty
year, no higher class of sugar than We did
before that time, in fact that the average
grade was considerably lower after than
before the treaty OF this the following,
table, which has been most carefully pre-
pared, and which has already been pub
lished in these columns, is proof:

Now it Stems to us clear that there is no
better method of keeping capital here, or
of encouraging people to make small in
vestmenis than by having a number of
stock companies established on a sound
basis.
A few years ago whai could young
man who had saved say one hundred dol
lars, do with his money! The opportunity
OF laying out 50 small sum on mortgage
would be very limited, we might almost
say nd. All he could do with it was to
put it in the hands of some capitalist at a
low rate of interest. who in his turn would
loan it, along with other sums IN his pos
session, at a very high rate.
Now the young man, the moment ne
has saved one hundred dollars, can at
once invest it in either sugar or mercantile
stock. This investment, moreover, not
only does the thrifty man good IN bring
ing him higher rate of interest than he
could have obtained formerly, but 1t makes
him directly interested in the prosperity
and advancement of the Islands. The
moment man invests even only one
hundred dollars in such stock he becomes
personally interested in the success of the
undertaking he is shareholder in. There
are numbers, of young men, with whom
we are well acquainted, who are saving,
and investing those savings in the way
indicated They are most of them inform
ing themselves of the methods by which
plantations and other ventures are steered
to success; they are adding quarterly to
the little nest egg they have started, and
in the course of few years they. will form
a strong backbone to our nation.
Those members of the Privy Council
who have beer opposing the granting of
the charters now before that honorable
body, have really been opposing a move
ment among our business men which
tends to encourage thrift in the masses.
To encourage a community to save and TO
give the people an opportunity of invest
ing their savings proftably, is certainly
one of the best things that government
can do. The great strength of France,
after her tremendous defeat by Germany,
lay in the thrift of the lower classes, who
were only able to invest small sums from
one hundred francs: by such means she
to pay off her war debt. By
means of small investments the business
of this country can be largely increased

Opening of the July Term of the SupreIue
Court

The Chief Justice, the Second Associate Justice,
and fifteen members of the bar were present, be
sides a number of visitors.
The Hon. T. Preston arose and addressed the
Court. He spoke feeling of the loss the Supreme
Court and the bar had suffered by the death of Mr.
| Barnard. The work Of the Chief Clerk of the Su-
preme Court Of this country was more ongrous
/ than that of the same office in any other and Mr.
| Barnard had been most indefatgahle in perform
ing his duties. He had ever been uuassuming
| Obllglng, courteous and accommodating. He had
all the records Of the Court in his charge and from
his long acquaintance with his duties could Law his
hand on whatever was required. The bar would
miss him especially, and much labor on its mem
beTs VIII be entalled. No man could be qualified
to fill his place, IT required training of wears to
/ do fully his duties.
Mr.. Preston then read the resolutions Of the bar.
which were published in the GAZETTE Of last week
He concluded by reading the following resolutions
/ Of the officers of the Court:
| We The undersigned officers Of the Court wish TO
place this our humble tribute to the respect of our
friend the late John E. Barnard, Clerk Of the Su-
preme Court.
Some of US have been acquainted with him since
A. ID. 1850, but our more intimate acquaintance
commenced in the month OF February A. D. 1851
when he was appointed Clerk of the Supreme
| Court. That acquaintance has continued to the
time OF his death with the exception of the inter
val that he was absent from the Kingdom
The late Mr.. J. Z. Barnard resigned his Office
I
parted from here TO reside in New Zealand
On the 2lst day of July. A. d. ISL he returned
TO Honolulu and resumed his duties in the Clerks
Office of the Supreme Court, Chief Justice Allen
being absent from Honolulu at the time and on
his return Mr. Barnard was appointed Deputy Clerk
on the lst day of August A. d. ISL and continued
to perform the duties of said office until the lst
day of October A. ID. 1876, when he was appointed
CLERK of the Supreme Court and continued to act
and discharge the onerous duties of said Office up
to the time Of his DEATH which occurred on the
2Id day Of June, A. d. 1883.
In all our intercourse with him We nave found
him at all times courteous. kind and aTable in the
discharge of his duties, and we feel that iu his
death we have indeed lost true and sincere
friend.
When such career closes IT is well for the liv-
ing 10 gather up such memories of his life as will
be worthy of remembrance. He was upright. hon
orabe, benevolent and kind.
We hope and pray that his mantle may fall ON
one who will emulate and follow his example. and
that he will endeavOr to win the esteem of those
with whom he may have intercourse.
To the widow of our late friend and hi, family |
we tender our heartfelt sympathCs in this hour Uf
their sad bereavement and may our Heavenly |
Father in His infinite goodness watch and protect
the widow and the fatherlpSs children

THE Fourth of July with all its memo
ries and traditions comes TO us again.
We welcome the day so dear to American
hearts and unite with our American fellow
citizens in offering tribute of praise to
their great country.
Each passing year witnesses a progress
and development of the American Repub-
lie which justiies the brightest predic-
tons ever made of its future. Its sons
may well feel proud Of their land, and
with patriotic pride shout for 1.-The land Of
the free and home Of the brave And
Englishmen may too feel a pride in the
progress of the States, the .flia pulehrior
born of the mater lJHiohrd. The bitterness
of disagreement has passed away and
Americans and English can unite in say
ing, We are of the same great race, our
language and thoughts are similar, and
we have the same great aims, the same
intense love of liberty.
Let all unite then in celebrating this
American day, and forgetting the cares
and burdens of every day life enter into
the pleasures of the hour with warm
hearts and genuine good fellowship.

Honolulu should be ashamed of itself.
She, the capital of the Islands, ought to
be its leader in advanced opinions. As
fact the other islands are politically ahead
of her, Capitals are usually the spots
where, when government is 50 thoroughly
rotten as ours is, the initiative is taken in
trying to amend the evil II the men of
Honolulu do not make themselves more
active, they stand in danger of having the
outer districts take the initiative out of
their hands. Kohala expresses its opin
ions in no uncertain tones: men on Maui
talk with far more yigor than those in
Honululu; Kauai is by no means behind
her sister islands. Such is the present
condition of affairs. so rotten is the pres
ent administration, SO utterly opposed to
the general feeling of the community are
the present holders of office, that the time
Is nearing when mere written protest
against the maladministration OF public
affairs will have gone by, and a more
vigorous and forcible expression of the
views of an outraged public will have to
be given. Exactly what form such an
oppression will take. we cannot sav, but
whenever it comes, it will sweep away the
rottenness that now disgraces, what ought
to be a civilized constitutional government
Prevention is better than cure. however.
and there is yet time to remedy in part
the present evil If the King be well
advised, he will take the chance of pre-
yention which is now before him, will
clean the Augean stables Of the Govern
ment, and will give all that the people
ask, viz: capable and trustworthy minis
teIs 20 manage the affairs of the people.

faSSar Girls in Rebellion.

New YORK, June 16.-The Vassar
girls are in revolt, based upon prin-
ciPle of some importance. They OBJ
ject to the honor system as detrimental
to health, as deficient as an index of
ability and industry, as conducive to
superficial work and as productive of
unworthy motives. The class gradu-
ated petitioned for the abolition of toe
present honor system, and requested
that none of the members of the class
be appointed for commencement exer-
cises, but that the addresses of the &C
casion be delivered by the alumni. The
faculty declined to yield, announcing
a resolution that the appointment
of speakers of commencement
day hereafter would be made
son the grounds of the students
general record of scholarship, literary
ability, and conduct during college
course" The failure of some of the
appointed speakers to appear at the
commencement created q commotion
at Vassar: but the rebellious girls have
departed. The excitement they
created has abated, the principle they
have raised will remain for future de-
bate, and the reform they have de-
manded may be urged by them with
vlgor IN the meetings Of Vassar's
alumn3.

The Hill Investigation.

WASHINGTON, June 16.-Qdite q sem
sation was produced to-day in connec-
ton with the Hill investigation. AS
slstant Secretary New, chairman of the
committee, had just announced there
would be no session for the day when
Coleman announced for Murch and said
with some warmth that he wished to
call the attention of the committee to
what he regarded as gross inperti-
nence both to himself and to General
New, chairman of the committee.
He then produced requisition
made several days ago by Murch upon
hlil Tor papers relating to the contracts
Tor statuary for the Philadelphia pub
nc building. The request was endorsed
by zen. New, with an order for the
production or the papers. On the re-
verse side was Hills endorsement re-
lusing to furnish the desired paners
for the reason that the statuary in ones,
lon was not mentioned in the charges
being investigated.
Coleman characterized this refusal
as an insult to the chairman of the
com mlttee, and his (Hilrs) SUI
perlors. Coleman then gave no
tice that the prosecution proposed
to take up the public buildings at St.
Louis, Chicago, Cincinnati and other
places, and to show above five million
OF public funds had been illegally ex-
pended. Murch stated this evening
that among the papers which he had
been enabled to extort from the suner-
vlslng architects Office, was one show
Ing that IN one instance, after the
contracts had been made, an order was
made by the architect increasing the

Dreadful Calamity.
ONE HUNDRED AND SEVENTY EIGHT chill
DREN KILLED IN A PANIC.


DREN KILLED IN A PANIC.
LONDON, June 16-A dreadful calam-
lty, involving the death of 178 children,
occurred in Sunderland, county Dur
ham, this evening. From details re-
ceived, it appears that the entertain
ments given in Victoria hall by con-
jdrer we're attended almost altogether
by children, several thousand being in
attendance. The accident occurred at
the close of the performance. The
body Of the hall had been entirely
cleared of the occupants, when some
1900 little ones came rushing down the
stairs from the gallery. At the top
Of the first flight of stairs was q
door, which oOened only twenty
inches, and thus only one child was per,
mitted to pass through at time. A
this point, while the mass of children
were pushing forward, one of them fell
and was unable to rise owing to others
crowding. The result was that q great
number were pushed down, trampled
on and suffocated. The scene was ter
IDLE; no effort could stop the mad rush
Of the affrighted children. They came
on pell nell, though strangely without
much shouting, and soon 178 were
knocked down and suffocated to death
by others tram ping upon them. A great
number of bodies which were badly
mangled from trampling, were laid to
s deep. Many victims and others who
were not killed had their clothing torn
from their bodies, and this, together
with the bleeding bodies of the unfor-
Inmates, shows the terrible nature of
the struggle. The ages of the 178
children known 10 have been killed
ranged from 4 70 Il years. The ex-
element 10 town when the news of the
disaster spread was terrific. Great
crowds rushed to the scene, until 10000
persons surrounded the hall. The feel
ing was SO intense that the authorities
ordered out IS of the infantry to pre-
serve order. The work of getting out
the bodies began Immediately. They
laid them out IN halls and the parents
of those killed were admitted to identi-
f. the bodies of their children. Most
heartrending scenes transpired while
the identification was in progress.
Mothers of the dead children were con-
stantly uttering shrieks AID many faint
ed on discovering the bodies of their
little ones.
