FLOODS AND FRESHETS.

The very heavy rain that COM
menced shortly before midnight, and
has fallen almost continuously since,
has done considerable damage around
Honolulu. All the streams were
turned into rushing torrents and had
reached their greatest height between
four and five O'Clock. The road at
the Chinese Theater was covered to
a depth of four feet and all the
recent repairs have been entirely
destroyed. Horses, fowls, trees and
portions of buildings were washed
down and several Chinese stores
were completely inundated, portion
of the goods floating into the harbor.
The water covered the floor of the
Chinese laundry. Smiths bridge was
canted over and from it to St. Louis
College was a sheet of water; all
the houses in the locality were
flooded.
Nuuanu Avenue seemed to have
suffered the most. All the gardens
on the Punchbowl side of the Avenue
being under water at five O'Clock
and for some time later. At the
second bridge the water rushed down
with tremendous force; the viaduct
across the valley was carried away
so that residents in the eastern por-
ton of the city will have their water
supply cut off. At the corner OF
the Pauoa Valley road and Nuuanu
Avenue, close to the bridge, is q
small store kept by Portuguese
who was reused up, with his family.
at four O'Clock by finding the water
up to their beds. They rushed out
without clothes which were kindly

There was an unusual appearance
on the road, in the early hours, OF
the residents of both sexes, in va
rious stages of dress, all helping the
unfortunate Portuguese family.

The water subsidized about six o. clock

water.

STRAIGHT IN THE FACE.

Our previous article, under the
above heading, has been the subject
of considerable comment in business
circles. A few have deprecated the
idea that the future prospects of the
Hawaiian Kingdom have gloomy
aspect; but the majority comedies
that the opinion we formerly ex-
pressed is true, and Ewe must do
something The disbelievers are
those who feel, most Eeenly, the
truth and who are afraid to face the
future. Some say that sorghum
sugar cannot affect this Kingdom,
but that Mexican produce will.
Others say the opposite. This shows
that the mercantile community is not
unanimous in opinion as to the cause
that may affect us, though it may be
unanimous as to gloomy future.
Our morning contemporary says
''The laborers are still coming and
something like equilibrium between
supply and demand must eventually
be established. The price of labor
must then fall and possibly will fall
rs much as the price of sugar has
done. When we consider how large
part of the cost of crop of cane
goes for wages, it is evident that a
moderate fall in present rates would
make an important difference in the
cost of production.
We ask what "laborers are still
coming?" The only laborers now
coming are Portuguese-the most
expensive labor on the islands. They
have been contracted for at certain
rates which aoill not pay the planter
with the price of sugar as it now
stands, and at which it is likely to
remain. The contract term of the
first imported Portuguese has almost
expired and the new comers will fill
their places at the same rates. There
is no other source from which to
obtain our labor supply. The Chi
nese have been prohibited from en-
tering the country, and it does not
follow that, because regular stream
of Portuguese will be introduced,
"the price of labor must then fall"
The Portuguese have been previously
contracted for, during the boom, at
high rates which will not now pay
the planter and they cannot be OBJ.
tanned at less cost. The city agents
may be secured by their commits
siOns and exchanges, but nothing is
left for the planter. We hope that
our contemporary will explain how
"the change for the better in the
cost of labor is near at hand"
The latest scientific reports, con-
corning sorghum sugar, are chat it
has been proved a success by means

cratic Success.

The publication to-day of the rumor that John
Bigelow had gone to England to secure funds
for Cleveland and Hendricks and free trade
caused great deal Of talk. Chairman Smith,
of the Democratic State Committee, said that
Mr.. Bigelow had gone to England on account OF
his health and that Of his daughter, and for no
other reason; thai he had known all along that
Mr.. BigelOw was going to Europe, and that no
one in his right mind would believe that En-
glish manufacturers would have any interest in
American politics.

used In this canvass. Large sums of corruption

How Watch Cases are MQJe.

In buying a silver watch case great care
should be taken to secure one that is solid
silver through, The cap Of most cheap
silver cases is made OF a composition known
as albata, which is a very poor substitute
for silver, as it turns black in short time.
The backs of such cases are made much
thinner than those of an all silver case,
being robbed in order to make the cap
thicker and get in as much as possible of
the cheap metal. Another important point

should be made of gold. Those of most
cheap cases are made Of silver, which is
not Il suitable metal for that purpose In

apart, s'!cving the backs to become loose
upon the case and admitting the dust and
dirt that accumulate in the pocket. The

in the treaty history of England in connection

strongest fortress upon the route to India. In
