Mrs. Ernst, the secretary's sister, ar
rived by the same train. After the three last

daughters are in the Adirondacks. The elder

Certainly we are surprisingly back

chise now before the Iegislaturesfor

granted, but it must not be an exclu-

in this town with the example of
which San Francisco has had to en-
dure, and is enduring, fresh ,ja our
minds. We are most positively in
favor of having the streets aud the
city lighted by gas, but there must be
no fetters forged by any gas corpora

naming in the dark. Let the. LegisIa-

HEALTH IN THE TRoPICs.--The
popular notion of the unhealthi-
ness of life in the tropics is not
eorroborated by the report of Sir
sAnthony Musgrave, Governor OF
sJamaica, from the statistics given
in which it appears that the NOR
tally in the island last year was
only at the rate of &c per thousand
This indicates conditions consider
ably more healthy than those OF
London and the environs, where
the death rate is over Il per thou
sand. The jamaica death rate
however would be much less than
it IS but for the extraordinary
mortality of children under five
wears, which Sir Anthony Musgrave
attributes to incompetence of native
midwives and ignorance and care
lessness Of mothers. Thirty eight
and a-half per cent. of the total
deaths in a year are deaths Of
children of this tender age.

THE Hon. j. Keau, from Honolulu,
| is essaying the difficult task in the
present Legislature of carrying water
OH both shoulders When this gentle
man addresses the house his efforts to
show his perfect impartiality are pain
fully laborious. One sentence is for
the Ministry, the next for the Opposi
ton, anu then comes an interrpgnum
of detail which is again Interrupted
by alternate bursts OF elOQuence for
the Opposition and the Ministry, and
for the Ministry and the Opposition.
Mr.. Keau signed the Finance Com
mittee's Report, and since he affixed
his name to that DOCUMENT has been
the prey of a tornado of mixed feel
ings. One moment we are led 10y this
gentleman's remarks to believe that
he is perfectly in accord with his col
leagues on that committee, and in the
next we are convinced that he is the
victim of misplaced confidence and
had no idea of what he was doing.
This sort of business is not the straight
thing, and is apt to convince the pub
lie that Mr.. Keau is not quite the
consistent sort of a representative.
Gentlemen who at this stage of the
controversy between the Ministry
and the Opposition have no decided
opinion on it's merits, are open to
broad and we'll grounded suspicion.
Mr.. Keau was placed on the Finance
Committee as u gentleman competent
to Investigate the affairs of the Gov
ernment, but his sail trimming
speeches during the latter portion of
the week have not set him in an
enviable light before his constituency.

Editorial Articles. :
FROM THE DAILY p. c. A.
THE COTTON CENTENNIAL AT NEW
ORLEANS.

In the report of the Minister of For
eign Affairs to the Legislature it is
stated that formal invitation had
been extended by the Government
of the United States to this country,
asking the Government to take steps
to have Hawaii represented at the
"WOrld's Industrial and Cotton Cen
tennial Exposition" which is to be
held in New Orleans in December
next. The invitation is pointed
we may almost say q pressing one.
In speaking of it, Mr.. Gibson says:
'"HO such an invitation L need hardly y
recommend a warm response. You
will feel with me that it is desira BILE
to make provision for a proper repre-
sentation of ouEproduBtiOhs iand of
the arts and manufactures, both of
the pasg time and of the present day,
a. an exposition to which the Presi-
dent and Congress of the United
States attach so much Importance"
We trust that the Legislature will
not let this opportunity for joining in
a most important exposition be lost
for the lack of the small sum that
will be necessary for the purpose.
What the Legislature may do is,
however, but a small part of the mat
ter. II the representation of Hawaii
at this "WOrld's Centennial Indus
trial Exposition is TO be worthy of
the country, it rests with the pro-
ducers and manufacturers of the
country to make it so. If they hang
back no efforts of the Government
can supply their lack Of appreciation
of this opportunity. In the great item
of the production of sugar this coun-
prise is behind none in the world.
We doubt if there be in any sugar
country a better under
of the elements of success,
or more liberal disposition on the
part of those engaged in sugar manu-
facture to avail themselves of the
latest and best developments of inven- |
lion. Let our sugar planters but |
show what they are made of and |
what they can do at this great conn |
Oetitive exhibition and the fullest re-
urn will be got for any eXpenditure

RICHARDS STREET, WHICH was in

has received the attentions of the
authorities, and will soon be- "navi-

THE Kapiolani Park road is in q
frightfuI condition. We should like
to hear from the Park Commissioners
on this subj ct, whether there are any
funds in hand to put this thoroughfare
in decent order, and if there are, why
they are not at once applied to make
this road safe for the passage of
wagons, which it cannot claim TO be
in the shocking state it is at present.
The soil which was carted to improve
the roadway, for lack of watering and
rolling, has blown away, and the
road is now in worse condition than
ever. The receipts at the race track
on the 1Ith of this month were TO be
devoted to this purpose, but nothing
has yet been done. The Park Com
missioners certainly owe an explana-
ton to the public. If their position
is merely an ornamental one, they
should step out, and let some more
energetic gentlemen take their place.

in his remarks upon the Attorney Gen

rag personalities. The Attorney Gen
eral, in the very midst of the play of
his heavy artillery upon his assaiIant

pleted sentence on his lips for .he
had only partially finished with
