ABOUT DESPOTISM.

Our evening contemporary has excited
itself unnecessarily about the Tax Collect
or's notice. It is according to law, and
therefore precisely what should be done
If it were an arbitrary act, the law provid-
ing a different mode of collection, the
case would be entirely different; but
when the Tax Collector complies with
the law what more is to be said about it
The Government has nothing whatever
to say or do in the matter, yet the
Bulletin" assumes that it has compelled
the issuance of this notice as an act of
wanton despotism. 1t says:
Ii the taxation notice is to be understood
as it reads. it simply means that the tax
payers are to be the obsequious and obedi-
ent servants of the lordly coterie composing
the Hawaiian Government. Con-
sidering the unlimited prerogatives of the
mighty men at the head of this nation, it
is almost surprising to find them cOnde-
scend to give any warning whatever to the
citizens that they did not lie back in their
chairs of state, until after the 18th of De-
cember had passed, and then swoop down
with costs, commissions and every possible
exaction. With Mr.. Geo. n. Luce, Tax
Collector. we have no personal quarrel
He is doubtless a faithful public servant,
attending to his duties, according to his in
structiOns. Our protest is against despot-
ism, in this, as in every fashion in which it
presents itself.
There is great deal more nonsense of
ike quality in the article quoted from,
but the foregoing will suffice as a sample.
AS we have said, the Tax Collector is
proceeding according to law; but we go
further and say that there is no hardship
in the case The mode of tax collection
adopted by this country prevails every
where in the United States, and any man
would be deemed insane who would
characterize it as despotism in the
States.

occasions. Dressing the head with
wreaths OF flowers, or leaves, or feathers,
when the bright colors show brilliantly
on the dark ground of their jet black,
glossy hair, is an universal custom with
Hawaiian women.
There are a large number of photo
graphic views These give, without
words, an idea of the scenery, the PEG
pie and the pursuits of the islanders. A
series Of photo-portraits give the mem
bers OF the present reigning family,
Kalakaua; another the late Queen
Dowager Emma, her husband, and
brother of the Kamehameha family
The public buildings and private resi-
dences in Honolulu give evidences of
wealth and refinement, of public spirit
and well-ordered affairs, while the pic
lures Of scenery exhibit bits Of picturesque
and fantastic nature suggestive OF vol
canic formed country where the rents
and riffs OF volcanic force have been
yelled in the verdant dress OF a lux
uriant vegetation.
One OF the chief objects OF interest in
the exhibit is the vivid and truthful pic
ture of the everything fiery crater of
Kilauea, by Jules Tayernier of San
Francisco. The volcanic mountain of
Mauna LOa, with its two craters OF Moku-
weo-weO and Kilauea, is a place to be
seen, not described. Here are to be
seen and noted the forces which have
shapen the globe, and We come into
visual contact with the one phenom-
enOn of Nature which defies all explain

Fatal Accident to Ex-Governor Kanoa.

Fatal Accident TO Ex-Governor kanOa.
7 Yesterday morning the Hon. Paul
kanoa, Ex-Governor of the Island OF
Kauai, met with an accident at his resi-
dence, corner of Richard and King streets,
which terminated fatally. The venera-
bic gentleman has been in the habit
every morning quite early OF getting up
aud opening a door on the second story
of his house SO as to get the fresh morn
ing air. This door does not lead on to
any veranda, but to guard against an
accident happening to him, a bar was al
ways thrown across it. Unfortunately.
those having charge of this duty neglected
it on Monday evening The Ex-Governor
opened the door as usual yesterday morn
ing sometime before daylight, and the
bar being gone he fell to the ground,
probably distance of ten feet. He was
found at half past four O'Clock by Mahoe,
his son-in-law, who noticed that he was
still breathing. He was carried into the
house, and DIR. Trousseau was at once
sent for. The doctor speedily arrived,
but found he could not do anything to re
lieve him, and a little later on he
breathed his last The sad death of this
aged and well-known Hawaiian cast quite
a gloom over the city as the news spread.
The steamer James Makee left for Kauai
about eight O'Clock yesterday morning to
convey the sad news to his son, His Ex-
cellency P. p Kanoa, the present Gov
ernor of Kauai. 1t is expected she will
return this morning with the latter on
board, when arrangements will probably
be made for the funeral, which will be a
military one. His Majesty the King and
a large number of citizens visited the
house and viewed the remains The de-
ceased was Governor of Kauai for many
years, being appointed during the time
of the Kamehamehas, and resigned in
favor of his son. He was a member OF
the Privy Council, and about eighty-two
years of age.

GENERAL NEWS SUMMARY.


General Mcclellan was buried on the
I'd instant from the Madison avenue
Presbyterian Church, New York, with
out military display. He died of neu-
ralgia of the heart, October Doth, at his
home, st. Cloud, Orange Mountain.
Among the other distinguished men
who have died are the King of Siam,
the Earl of Buckinghamshire and the
Duke of Abercorn. The last named had
been twice Lord Lieutenant of Ireland
under Tory Governments.
M. de Lesseps has issued circular to
the stockholders of the Panama Canal

( francs per share. He is going to Pan
anna in January to inaugurate the final
work. " @
AT an election quarrel in Bustamente,
Mexico, six men were killed and fifteen
wounded.
The Archbishops OF Canterbury and
York have issued an address to the
English electors. They say that the
men chosen in the coming election will
be likely to govern the Empire for a
number of years. The Archbishops con-
slider the church question of the highest
importance. The address, though COM
pulsOry in tone, avoids direct party dis
cussion. 1t is regarded as a thrust at the
Radicals. Mr.. Gladstone has written a
highly important letter on Church discs
Enlistment He taunts the Tories with
thrusting the question forward as a politi-
cal dodge. He repeats that the project
belongs to the dim-distant future and
that the public mind is not prepared for
the scheme. In conclusion he says:
'The subject is for others and not for me
to deal with"
The hull of the Toxic, with about 500
tons of coal on board, was sold at Yozo-
hama, September 14th, for S., 600.
Five men have been rescued from the
bark Cashmere, and landed at Ragos-
hima prefecture.
Owing to the prevalence OF cholera in
Japan the Government have adopted
strenuous measures to prevent its spread.
The authorities have decided that coal
may be means Of disseminating cholera
virus, and have ordered that vessels car
rying coal from infected ports shall be
4lnloaded, after undergoing the ordinary
medical inspection, at some fixed place,
the proprietor or consignee of the coal
being held responsible for the observance
of this regulation. Coolies and vehicles
employed in the transportation of such
coal shall be specially detailed for that
purpose and subsequently disinfected,
and, if necessary, isolated for not more
than five days. The vessels themselves
shall also be disiniected in thorough
manner.
The mortality on board the French
war ships at Formosa, and among the
land forces in Tonquin, has been enor-
nous, owing to malarial fever. The
Chinese commander also lost nearly all
his veteran troops.

"Rumbunion" alias ..Kin-Divin."

London News.l
Mr.. n. Darneu Davis, who occupies
an important official position in the col
ony of British Guiana, has written for
private circulation an interesting paper
on the etymology of the word rum
He states that that spirit was fest dis
titled from the juice of the sugar cane in
Barbados about the year 1O40 or 1915,
and that the name the planters of the
colony gave to the new liquor was kill
devil. At a comparatively early period
it was called ~rumbuilion. a word which
expressed the idea of a great quarrel or
tumult Ia the library of Trinity college.
Dublin, there is a manuscript containing
a description of Barbados about the year
1861.
The writer refers to the new spirit in
language which Sir Wilfrid lawson could
hardly fail 10 appreciate: The chief
fuddling they make in the island is rum
bullion, alias killdivill. and this is made
of sugar canes distilled, a hot, hellish,
and terrible liquor Mr. Davis thinks
that it was about the year 1860 that rum
bullion" was clipped of two Of its sylla-
bles: but the first mention of the abridged
word in any public document in Barba-
does appears to have been in an act
passed in 1868 to prevent the sale of both
brandy and rum in the tipping houses
near the most frequented highways or
roads of the island
The word rum, however. occurs in
certain orders of the government and
council of Jamaica as early as 1861 At
the Bermuda aSSlZes cask of "rumbull
ion was confiscated on the ground that
it had caused great disorder and drunk
enness among the governors negroes; :"
but with Singular Inconsistency the OIL
GERS ordered the same cask to be sold for
the benefit of wounded otchman who
had some claim upon the public bounty.
Mr.. Davis points out that when sailors
speak of grOg as rum bowling. the ex-
preston is really a survival of the old
word

from Great Britain and the United
States. 1t would improvethe tone and
elevate the status of society of these
islands, and tend greatly to strengthen
the autonomy OF the country. The
promoters of the Hawaiian Colonial
ton Land and Trust Company, Limited,
should push energeticaIly ahead with
their enterprise, which would seem to be
in the direct line of the requirements
outlined in the letter above quoted.

less crop. The returns of German
lubricants so far indicate a de-
ficiency of 81 per cent in Ger
many. The decline in prices of beet
sugar from lis. to 14s. 413d. is said to be
caused largely by the manipulations OF
" bear" spectators, who have largely
sold paper contracts, which have yet to
be covered by purchases of sugar.
