DIoss Meeting at iyaiiuku.

a mass meeting Of citizens, native and
foreign, took place at the court house in Wal
luku on Thursday evening, the 10Th instant,
to consider the proposed I" Bank Charter Act
and for other purposes. 1t was quite largely
attended, being swelled by residents from the
extren limits OF the district. Rev w. p.
Kahae was elected chairman, j. w. Giryin
secretary, and 6. E. Richardson Interpreter.
The chairman stated that there were several
matters which required our attention, the first
being the notorious bank charter act, as pro.
posed by some capitalists. He explained the
intent OF the proposed act and showed the
effect Of its workings should it become law.
The second matter was the grievance TO which
the people wcic on account Of the present out
rageous rates Of exchange, and which probably
had not reached its limit. The third was the
necessity OF having the jury terms both held in
Wailuku He explained that in old times
the government Of the island conferred in
Hama, and that Waikiki was he second loved
place of residence of the chiefs. That when
whaleships began to come To Maui that Laha-
became the market OF the products of the
island. That from that time the chiefs had
lived there, and the center OF government
being there naturally the jurics were called to
that place. In these latter days the whole
face Of the country was changed and sugar
the principal product, and that Lahana was
hut Il deserted village wherein Blu, one planta
ton existed whereas Wailuku, as the center
Of The island and of the whole sugar industry
and, Of course, of the people and that it was
absurd to require the whole mass Of the people
10 travel twenty miles and farther over
mountain to attend jury merely Cor the reason
that it was the custom from old times. On
motion it was arranged that these three matters
should come separately before the meeting for
discussion. TO facilitate matters, petitions in
.eolsonance with the above were dcatted and
each was separately discussed. Mr.. G.. L.
Richardson explained the presumed workings
of the bank charter act should it be passed,
and made such telling speech that the meet
ing was unanimous in voting that the petition
against It's passage be signed by each one in
the assembly. 1t did not require much
calculation to convince the meeting that gold
should be the standard of values and silver hut
subsidiary, and tina, the limit should be made
SO that the laboring man should he enabled To
handle gold. On motion a petition to that
effect was voted, to ne signed by the assembly.

A struggle has been inaugurated between the
Union Pacific and the Northern Pacific for pos
session of properties by lease or otherwise, of
the Oregon Railway and Navigation Company.
This last named company is a corporation or
ganized under the laws of Oregon for railway
and water navigation. 1t holds the outlets from
the mouth of Snake river by the way Of the
Columbia river route
Last November President Gowen attempted to
resign because the company had surmounted the
difficulties of the past -four eventful years, and
published circular giving rather a rosy report
of the company's financial condition. The propo-
sition to declare a dividend was also seriously
considered and narrowly escaped adoption.

week ago however, the company that had earned
year, defaulted. The concerns net debt is
placed at $40, 009 00O though this does not nearly

ParalIeling Old Roads.

There are still in this country wild schemers
who talk of building parallel lines with old roads
and whenever they can find anybody with capital
TO invest in railroads they endeavor and some
times succeed in talking such capitalists into
aiding such schemes, and right here it will do
well for projectors of roads paralleling old lines
10 take warning from the fate of the New York,
West Shore & Buffalo road The ''West Shore
has reached its inevitable end. 1t has had a
brief, and not brilliant, but delusive and de-
structive, career 1t was bad faith and bad
policy to allow this parallel and rate-cutting'
road to be constructed, with no public demand or
occasion for its existence. 1t has brought dis.
aster to its best friends and most liberal support
ers, and it has come to collapse by the operation
of inherent causes There were no jobs or
irregularities, it is believed, connected with the
construction, and the road is bonded for its
actual cost the stock being worth nothing. The
bonds have fallen to about 40, which would make
the property worth $40, 900, 900 iastead of the
$4,000, 900 it cost and as it cannot pay its
interest it has been putin the hands of receivers
The case illustrates the enormous risk of rail
road building, and shows why prudent men, as
general thing cannot be got to build railroads
on the chance of making or per cent out of
the venture. The chance of profit has to cor
respond with that of risk

A Novel Locomotive.

Rothrock's new locomotive is beginning to at
tract the attention of mechanics. The main fea-
lures of this design are the twin boilers" the
arrangement of furnaces and smoke-box, and
the disposition of fuel and water, dispensing
with tender. The inventor claims from this
form an increased carrying capacity for water
and fuel; increased traction, and that the prod
ucts of combustion from the fire-box are utilized
in most thorough and effective manner for
generating steam more rapidly than in ordinary
