The Hawaiian gazette. [volume] (Honolulu [Oahu, Hawaii]) 1865-1918, 1885-09-02

On considerate public works-going too fast in a
word, and pursuing colonial policy without =
clear end in view and well-matured plans, much
is blamable. But il is not too late to mend, and
such is the advice electors ought TO give their dep
uties. Rochefort Is continuing to WELD potent
pen in the political situation. He IS IN far way
TO demolish tho Opportunists, he did the Second
Empire Age seems 10 vhet his satire, and add
spartles TO his wit. There is youthfulness and
caiety in Roohefort's writings-apart from his
politics and style, that even his opponents must
relish. Added 10 this, an HsoReidRee and good hu-
NOR, thoroughly Gallo. He does good work, not
in advocating his own programme which includes
all the impossbilites but in exposing the hollow
ness, and unmasking the hypocrfsies in the mani
festOes of his adversaries.
THE GBEkT SCANDAL.
The Pail Mall Ga-etie sensation has extended to
Paris The journals reprint the indictment against
modern manners, in full; some even replace their
feuilletons by this latest mystery Of London;
few papers print the names of the denounced-a
sad black list If true. The iudicious grieve at the
whole exposure, not as affecting any nation, creed
or party, but account against frail human nature
and its veneer of civilization. 1t is not the occa-
sion for cOngratulating the East End of London,
with the Par arLr Corps, or the rue Duphat; still
less, for one nation TO say to another: Stand
asidei am holier than thou"
CHINA.
The Tonquin insurrectian still weighs on the sit
uation That adventure is viewed as permanent
anxiety for the country, independent of its drain
on the national revenues. 1t involves the keeping
of an eye perpetually open on China. Then IL pre-

IL MAHDI.
The Mahdi is dead. Can it be SAID, LONG live
the Mahdir' Perhaps it is as accurate as Olivier
PAINS departure for the great majority or the Set
ting of a price on his head-by nobody. A merry
print demands the funds necessary TO set price on
Monsieur Woseley's head. As the smallest sub
scription will be thankfully received Irish lady
sends an old Z. q. q. TO the fund.- the proceeds-if
they can be collected, TO be applied to the good
work. 1t has been said, that if one Irishman was
to be roasted, another would be found 10 turn the
spit, Bot this is the first authenticated instance
of an Irish woman doing the blasting business,
since Nora Creina's robe flowed as valid as noun
tain breezes NJ. de Drilling, n French diplomatist,
writes TO Rochefort, that he was the Mahdis under
ground railway kind of representative in Europe:

the British Ambassador, Lord Lyons, that for one

thanks as If country editor dealing with original

SUSTAINED RECORD.
The Court of Assizes at Amiens, has condemned
a small farmer, Petit, to be executed he had dis
pute with the local Mayor about a we'll, and shot
him in the head, last May. This keeps up the
total of twenty men now living under sentence of
death in France of which five are in the Paris
prison. 10 work of this list, and lessen the work

SOMETHING NEW.
II is to Spain we must 20 TO find something new
In the way of joint stock companies. Dr. Farran
has obtained notoriety in the Peninsula for vacci-
mating people against cholera. The French Gov
ernment sent Its best scientist, DR.. Brouardel to
report on the process. He returned, his mission
failure, as DR.. Farran declined to allow the neces
sary searching tests to be made. II seems that
the whole misunderstanding is one of pounds shil.
llngs and pence. Some capitalists had taken up
tarTans alleged remedy against cholera morbus
and proposed TO issue shares, and delare dividends
Even philanthropy must be farmed; but, that apart
IS the vaccination a perfect curel That's what
people would like to know, and would have no OBJ
lection TO pay, and handsomely, to be secured
against plague in any form. Look what millions
humanity invests in pills, ointments and eli1irs,
to preserve us against or cure us of some of, the
ills that flesh is heir to.
