Return of the volcano Party.

The steamer Kinau arrived in port yester-
day after having made the trip over the
new Volcano route. She left here Thursday,
August 30th, and arrived at Hilo on the
Saturday following The Volcano passen-
gers had plenty of time to look around, as
the steamer did not leave Hilo for Keauhou
until half-past IL o'clock Sunday evening.
The latter place was reached at O'Clock
Monday morning, and an hour later the
party were on the way to the Volcano
House. The distance was made by some
inside of three hours, while others took it
more leisurely.
After good dinner and rest the descent
to the crater was made by the largest party
ever known to visit it at one time. There
were twenty-nine persons in all. The road
leading from the house to the edge of the
lava has been greatly improved and horses
can be used in going down or up. Halemau-
nau and the New Lake were found very
active, particularly the former. The Little
Beggar was also wonderfully active. The
party returned to the Volcano House short
ly after midnight, thoroughly satisfied with
the wonderful sight they had witnessed.
The following evening few of the party
went second time, and were again amply
rewarded for their trouble. All were per-
fectly satisfied with the accommodations
provided for them at the Volcano House,
and speak in the highest terms of the
assiduous attention paid by the manager,
Mr.. Maby. Fine weather was one of the
characteristics of the trip from beginning to
end. Wednesday morning the party re-
turned to Keauhou and took the steamer,
arriving al Mahukoua the same night. The
following morning all went for ride over
the Kohala Railway. Returning, the Kinau
was again boarded, the party arriving in
Honolulu, as stated above.
The Rev. F. G. Oggel, who, with his wife,
spent twelve days at the Volcano House,
says he thoroughly enjoyed the visit. He
vent down into the crater on two occasions.
The first time the New Lake was one sea of
red hot lava. With the accommoda tions
and board at the Volcano House he was
more than satisfied, not expecting to find
anything like it in such an out-of-the-wsy
place. The only inconvenience he ex-
perieneed was having to wait at Keauhou
.anding four days for the Kinau. This was,
Of course, owing to the storm, which delayed
the vessel leaving Honolulu.

The steamer Kinau brought two hundred
and ninety one passengers from windward
yesterday.
Four men have been arrested on suspicion
of being concerned in the robbery at Lon
ing's house, Montgomery Square, on

cles have yet been recovered. One of the
arrested. John Dunn by name, was tried at
the last term of the Supreme Court, on
charge eff burglary, but got of. The other
three are we'll known to the police.

THE TARIFF.

THE TARIFF.
The fact that our revenues are in excess of
the actual needs of an economical admins
tration of the government justifies a reduc-
ton in the amount exacted from the people
for its support Our government is but the
means established by the will of a free people,
by which certain principles are applied which
they have adopted for their benefit and pro-
lection; and it is never better administered
and its true spirit is never better observed
than when the peoples taxation for its sup
port is scrupulously limited to the actual ne
cessity of expenditure, and distributed ac-
cording to just ond equitable plan.
The proposition with which we have to
deal is the reduction of the revenue received
by the government and Indirectly paid by
the people from customs duties. The question
of free trade is not involved, nor is there now
any occasion for the general discussion of the
wisdom or expediency of a protective system.
modification OF our present laws re-
lating to revenue, the industries
and interests which have been en-
couraged by such laws, and in which our
citizens have large Investments, should not
be ruthlessly injured or destroyed. We
should also deal with the subject in such
manner as to protect the interests of Ameri-
can labor, which is the capital of our work
ingmen; its stability and proper remuneration
furnish the most justifiable pretext for pro-
tective policy. Within these limitations GER
tain reduction should be made in our customs
revenue. The amount of such reduction
having been determined, the inquiry follows,
where can it best be RENTED and what
articles can best be released from duty, in the
interest of our citizens? think the reduction
should be made in the revenue derived from
tax upon the imported necessaries of life.
We thus directly lessen the cost of living in
every family of the land, and release to the
people in every humble home larger measure
of the rewards of frugal industry.
BANKS AND COINAGE.
During the year ended November l, 1885,
AS national banks were organized with an
aggregate capital of SIG, 1913 900, and circulat-
ing notes have been issued to them amount
ing to S4.274, 910. The whole number of
these banks in existence on the day above
mentioned was 2,727.
The very limited amount of circulating
notes issued by our national banks compared
with the amount the law permits them to
issue, upon deposit of bonds for their re
demption, indicates that the volume of our
circulating medium may be largely increased
through this instrumentality.
Nothing more important than the present
conditioss of our currency and coinage can
claim your attention. Since February, 1873,
TIE government has, under the compulsory
provisions of law, purchased silver bullion
and coined the same at the rate of more
