THE CANADIAN REBELLION.

Canada has pursued an enlight-
ened and generous policy toward her
Indians, and has been remarkably
free from troubles with them. The
present uprising is a revival of the
old French half-breed movement to
hold portion of the Northwest Ter
ritory, which they claim was not in
cluded in the transfer of territorial
rights by the Hudson Bay Company
to the British authorities. Con-
siderable distress among Indians in
that quarter during the past season
made the tribes susceptible to
sinister agitation conducted by Louis
Riel, the leader of the similar revolt
of 1869. A religious element was
introduced into that trouble by the
murder of an Orangeman named
Scott, by order of Riel when he held
Fort Garry, now the site of Winni-
peg. Sir John Macdonald, the then
and the present Premier of Canada,
instead of securing the rebel and
having him pay the penalty of his
crime, gave the Roman Catholic
Archbishop large sum of money to
get him out of the country. About
the same time he publicly declared
that he wished to God he could get
his hands on Riel. 1t is said the
fugitive rebel was confined for some
years in the BEAUFORT insane asylum
at Quebec. At all events, he APP
pearcd recently in the Northwest,
and the present trouble is the result
of his Vaccinations there. The
Canadian militia will doubtless make
short work of him and his following,
but in the meantime reign of terror
exists among the defenseless settlers.

ness, We are aware of instances,
also, where large reductions in rates
have been made In return for a
good deal of business given at
single order. There is no question
that the hack rates in Honolulu are
low compared with those in many
cities abroad. Still, n comparison
with San Francisco in this regard is
not n fair one. With its remark
ably complete street railway system.
which keeps pace with the growth
of the city, hacks are only in de-
mand for exceptional cases and pur-
poses, and high rates are necessary
to the maintenance of any hack SER
vice at all. Yet it is doubtful if the
business would not be much larger
even there if the fares were lower.
Montreal, which has fair street
railway system, upon some routes
of which ride of four miles costs
only five cents, supports round
thousand of hacks TO a population of
about 10000. The fares there are
lower than in Honolulu, as two per-
SONS can ride distance of one mile
for single fare of twenty-five cents.
AS to the Honolulu hackmen them
selves, so far as our observation and
information has gone, they compare
very favorably. on the whole, with
their class anywhere else. Probably
the proportion of "black sheep
among them is no greater than may
be found in the most eStimable flock
of similar calling in the best-regu-
lated town abroad. In conclusion,
we do not see that there is any
serious call, on either hand, for q
revision of rates. Possibly the limits
might be altered so as to make fares
correspond more equitably to dis
tances in some instances. At al
events, whatever regulations there
arc should be observed. We sup
pose the regulations, like other laws
were not made altogether to fit the
cases of the wealthy. Let the ten
cent fare stand for the benefit of tn,
large class to whom drive is Otter
4 great boon, but who find it pru
dent to look at a quarter twice be
fore spending it.

the HACKMEN.

A few days ago th@-4drerfiser
contained somewhat severe criti-
cism of a portion of the hack driving
fraternity. 1t in effect charged
them with having practically made
the ten-cent fare of the regulations
a twenty-fve-cent one, and the
twenty-five tifty-cent one in many
cases. The article also contended
that the fares to points outside of
the city-the Pail and the Park
chief1y-were excessive. The other
day hackman brought commune
cation to this office, replying to our
contemporaries article, and asked
that it be inserted in the BULLETIN.
He was informed of our general
rule in such cases, mentioned yes
terday, that replies to articles of the
kind in question should first be
rendered to the newspaper giving
the offense. Yesterday the commu-
nication, rewritten and revised in
accordance with suggestions made
to its author on the former occasion,
was handed in, with the information
that the Advertiser had declined TO
publish it. Therefore, we give
space to it to-day, after having
struck out some rather strong per-
sonal illusions. To some extent, we
sympathize with the cause made out
by our correspondent for his class.
Doubtless the public has been large
ly responsible for the ten-ccnt fare
having become practically a dead
letter. In the flush times that are
just past, not many people regarded
few cents in fare as worth chat
fering about, and disdained, even
when they knew the rule. to ask the
driver for the change of quarter.
Still, it is not made clear by our
friend that the abolition of the regu-
lation, with or without legal sane
ton, would be Il real benefit to the
hack business. If the drivers were
as ready to jump ut ten-cent fare
as at Il larger one, they might make
half-a-dozen short trips while wait
ing for one long one. There car
be very little doubt that many
people who prefer walking to pay
ing a quarter for distances within
the ten-cent limit, would engage ;
carriage frequently if the Observance
of the regulation was regarded rs
matter of course Oh all hands. !
would certainly be much more pro
fitable for the hacks to be busy al
the time with ten-cent fares, tina
to be idle half the time waitin
for larger ones. Some, at least, @
the drivers prefer straining the regr
lations in behalf of the public,
letting q chance go of doing bus

In to-day's paper will be found
particulars of the British operations
in the Soudan, in addition to those
given in yesterdays issue; also ac-
counts of the English sentiment at
home regarding the war. The pro-
ject of subjugating the Arab hordes
of the desert appears more colossal
thar ever, and the symptoms are
that the British public are growing
sick and tired of the whole business.

EDITORIAL NOTES.

There can be no good reason why
the Mariposa should be detained sew
eral hours in coming into port, just
to make her trip fit an arbitrary time
table. When her sister steamship,
the Alameda, is permitted to arrive
before noon, even private reasons for
the Mariposa's delay cannot be valid.
The occurrence is vexatious hum
bug that would not be tolerated eX-
cept where monopolies are allowed
to rule.

SaNtmR Of TIE MOrnIma STIR.

Following the rainy weather last week, that
of the new missionary packet, she started
under brigh, and pleasant auspices on Satur.
day, the md instant, at 4 PM. The day was
bright and clear, and the event drew out quite
gathering Of parties interested to witness and
partake in the exercises at her departure.
Appropriate hymns were sung in both the
English and Hawaiian languages, prayer in
Hawaiian by Rev. G.. Leleo, a returned
Hawaiian missionary, and an address, also in
Hawaiian, by another, Rev. w. N. Lono.
who is on his way to his new field Of labor in
Maiana, one of the Gilbert Islands. Rev. DR..
c. NJ. Hyde made an appropriate address in
English that outdid his usual ofi.hand remarks
on such occasions. Rev. + c. Oggel made
the closing PRAYER, and Rev. II. Bingham
gave the benedction. Then, amid adieus and
farewells, she steamed out from her berth and
port, and sped westward to carry glad tidings
afar.
From here the Star sails direct for Tapiteuea,
the southernmost of the Glbcr, Islands, OH
which the Hawaiian missionaries are stationed.
These will be gathered up and taken to Kusaie
for the annual meeting of the mission, touch
ing at Jaluit, en- route for any letters or pack.
ages, that may have been left there. While
the Gilbert Island Mission is holding its
service at Kusaie, the Star will take to Ponape
the mails for the American missionaries there,
giving them also timely notice Of her arrival
and future plans. Then returning TO Kusaie,
Rev. Mr.. Walkup will accompany the
Hawaiian missionaries back to their respective
stations, and make the annual inspection o
the condition and needs Of that part of the
field. After this work is accomplished, and
Mr.. Walkup has been returned to his home al
Kusaie, the Star will proceed to Ruk and
bring Rev. Mr.. Logan to Ponape, in order tt
visit the Mortlock Mission in connection will
Rev. f. r. Doane. Returning Mr.. Logan tc
his home in Ruk, Rev. Mr.. Doane will 90 oil
to Yap, taking the teachers whom he has pre-
pared for that island. Returning, the Sta
will leave Mr.. Doane on Ponape. Going OF
TO Kusaie, and taking on board Miss Ca,hcart
the Marshall Islands will be visited. Thi
work done, and some Hawaiian missionarie
taken on board a, Butaritar, the Star viii
come directly to Honolulu. The voyage a
planned will take about 10 months.

CaSTOR-OIL BEANS.

Reference was made recently by one
of our contemporaries of the advis-
ability Of raising castor-oil beans for
profitable local use or export. We
have no knowledge of any pains being
taken for their cultivation in any part
of the islands, though they are known
to grow readily almost anywhere, and
do grow in a wild state in many
localities
Some fifteen years or more ago the
late G. c. Mclean advertised for and
bought all the castor beans that were
gathered and sent to market, and made
an attempt to utilize them for the
manufacture of oil for lubrioating pur-
poses, but with what success pecuniar-
lily to himself, or Others, We are not
advised though we have faint recol-
lection that its product gave satisfaction
as lubricating oil fol machinery,
having, in its crude state, considerable
body, without the gummy objections to
certain fish oils.
II our information is correct, castor
oil is preferred over all others for
lubricating running machinery. By a
little energy on the part of the farming
fraternity the beans that are now
allowed to 90 to waste might be har-
vested and sent to market, and il a
sufficient quantity were gathered, to
make it an object for export. The
price obtained would, doubtless,
be found sufficiently remunerative
to warrant a direct effort toward theil
cultivation, and in short time Q
hydraulic oil press would again bs
found serviceable for the local utiliza
ton of this product We woult
thereby save the snug little sum We are
paying abroad each year for oils for ths
use OF our mao line shops and plan
tations, for which our imports range, a
times, as high as S,s4o gallons pc
annum for lubricating oils alone.
| II any OF our readers have an,
knowledge upon the cultivation anc
yield Of this product, We should b,
pleased to have them report; in tn,
meantime, probably We may be able t.
obtain information from abroad tha
will be Of material aid in solving tn,
problem of dealing in,elligen,ly wit,
this oily subject.

Russian- Emgiish War Ne,rs.

The fight is not yet on but is i'm

evidently ready for war If Russia does
not yield. Italy is said to be at Eng

Germany and Austria counsel peace
The end is not yet, and may not surely
be predicated. Some of the latest dis
patches are as follows
The Moscow Gazette says that il
England wishes to avoid war she must
evacuate Port Hamilton at the en-
trance to the Sea Of Japan, otherwise
Russia will be obliged to occupy Herat.
The Gazette also says it believes the
question Of peace or war must be set
tied within few days. A later London
dispatch denies the report Of British
occupation Of Port Hamilton though
England is evidently ready for it,
Senators and members Of congress

with the opening OF the Bank Of
Savings and Deposits of Claus Spreck.
els * Co, the era OF private and ire
sponsible banking in Honolulu came to
an end" says Mr.. Spreckels' Advertiser
of the sth instant We trust the public
will not be silly enough to gather from
this that the Bank of Savings and De
posts Of Claus Spreckels & Co." is
other than ''private" bank, AS to its
responsibility" we say nothing. We
hope il is responsible. But we do not
believe, and we don't think any one
else believes, that it is one whit more
responsible than its older rival The
fact that the management of the new
bank has deposited $500, 900 in Ha-
waiian bonds with the minister of
finance, as security for the money de.
posted with it, proves nothing. That
little act need blind no one 1t has
no warrant in law. II Mr. Spreckels
wanted to act in bad faith he could de
mand of the finance minister that those
bonds be given up TO him, and no one
could legally interfere The new
savings bank has nothing but the credit
and capital Of Claus Spreckels back OF
it and similar credit and capital are
back of the old bank. The question
for depositors to decide is a simple one.
Which Of the two sets of capitalists
representing the two banks has the
more careful, the more conservative,
the more Saoing reputation-and which
is less likely to risk borrowed money in
bad investments ?

THs BrLlgrry oN LEpRosy.

The Daily Bulletin, in its issue Of
the sth instant, republishes an article
from the Chicago Times, entitled
"Leprosy in England" wherein the
recent discovery of leper in Scotland
is noticed, and comments are made on
the prevalence Of leprosy in the British
Isles about the I sth century
In the Editorial Notes." reference
is made to the same in the following
language: "a selected article in this
issue tells of the great prevalence Of
leprosy in Great Britain three or -four
centuries ago. As the races inhabiting
that country triumphed over the
hideous pestilence, there is hope for
the redemption OF the Hawaiian people
from its clutches"
We differ with the Bulletin in this,
that we would, at least, qualify our ex-
pressions Of hope by adding -" if the
same means were taken here to prevent
contagion." The measures adopted
for the riddance of the disease Mere
were no half measures; and lazar
house" meant prison, with absolute
segregation for its inmates. And there
were no ten Per cent of lepers among
people there as there is here. More
over, the disease Me,e was generally
feared, and contact with lepers avoided
in every possible way by healthy
people. Here, the natives, with few
exceptions, make no effort whatever to
avoid social intercourse with lcpers,
and even many foreigners seem to be
growing equally Indifferent. In Norway
and Iceland, where compulsory segre-
cation has not been carried out, the
people have not triumphed over the
hideous pestilence," although they have
had centuries to do it in. 1t was here
that the absurd idea prevailed that the
disease owed its origin to the ingestion
of unwholesome fish, and was, con.
sequently. not believed to be con
tagious. Not many years ago it was
estimated that there was larger pro
portion of lepers >to the total popu
lations of Norway and Iceland than
existed in any other countries in the
world, the percentage being about two
and one-half, or one in forty. These
countries adopted style of dealing
with lepers different from that of Other
countries of Europe, and the results
have been different The style adopted
here (more especially of late) has beer
very like that of Norway, and the
results have been somewhat similar
although greatly worse. 1t is authen
tically stated that in Madagascar, afte
the compulsory segregation of leper:
had been abolished, the disease (be
