connected with the prisoner. suppose such

if its repetition is guarded against, hui

offender the sorry comfort of seaing her

who this day presides is unusually good

friendly policeman does not carry out his in

But many curious looks are cast at the

the hawk-faced Mrs. wilson turns in her

still staring fixedly in our direction. The

round toward the bench. Once more the

There is a long, dead pause. 1t may be
that the prisoner does not understand that

collapsed state deprives him of the power OF
speech. notice that one of the policemen
touches him on the shoulder, and whispers

TAKE WARNING |

EDITOR BULLEr1N:-I live on Fort
street, not far from two churches
aye, three. Last night, Tuesday
evening, while I was absent from
home, my wife was sitting sewing
and as someone called she thrust
the work into a small-sized black
leather valise and set it in the next
room while she talked with her
visitor. When her friend left she
walked little way with her, being
gone from the house not longer than
three minutes. On her return she
looked for her work bag to resume
her sewing, but in vain. Some sneak
thief must have entered and taken
it in the short three minutes of her
absence. We have been house,
moving, and are still living in our
old house.
The moral of this tale is: There
are sneak thieves abroad. Don't
trust to the police; they either
can't or won't protect you. E.

THAT NOTICE.

Our genial morning contempo-
rary "has excited itself unneces-
sarily" over our remarks on the
mode of taxation adopted here. OF
course, the process is according to
law; and the "head and front of
our offending" is in the expression
of an opinion on that process, and
it matters not to us where or by
whom it originated. Our opinion is
that taxpayers should be waited on
individually by collectors, and we
said so. The Advertiser's last
sentence would be nearer the truth
if it had said that any man would
be considered insane," in the
States, who should fire off volley
of objections against the free ex-
preston of legitimate opinion on
any matter in which the public are
concerned. If any further vindica-
tion of the opinions offered yester-
day is needed, we should like to ask
how the taxpayers Of Honolulu
were to know that their taxes MUST
be paid between the 2nd of Novem-
ber and the 10Th of December? If
the first intimation that many of the
rate-payers receive of their obliga-
tions to the treasury is to reach
them in the form of summons to
appear before the Civil Court, then
to be mulct in an extra ten per
cent. and costs, is not despotism, it
is exceedingly like it. We main
tain that it is the undoubted right
of every citizen of free country,
in all such matters, to be notified
before he is prosecuted. That right
is not conceded to the citizens in
The Daily bulletin. [volume] (Honolulu [Hawaii]) 1882-1895, 1885-11-11

the tax-collector's notice referred to
yesterday. The notice, in the first
place, had not been published in a
way in which It was calculated to
reach the rate-payers; and any
action, involving penalties, subse-
quently taken against a man for
noncompliance with demand
never made upon him, is piece of
despotism, the morning Advertiser' $
opinions to the contrary notwith-
standing.

the Cigar makers of the golden city
that the cheap working Cinnamon
be dismissed, may, under the cir
cumstances, be an exception to the
universally recognized rule that it is
the undoubted right of the employer
to hire whom he pleases to do his
work, but il is no less true that
such demand is based on wrong
principles. 1t is the union and non
union men contest which has proved
fertile source of mischief the world
over. And the one element in the
strife that evokes sympathy where
otherwise there would be opposition
is that the violation of this funda.
mental principle of social economy
is intended to apply only to the
Mongolian. The rage of white
workmen at being superseded by
Chinese can be fully appreciated in
the latitude of Hawaii. This fact,
however, will hardly ensure SYM
pathy among workmen here with
any such ebullitions as occurred at
Rock Springs in September last.
Our workmen bear their grievances
with commendable fortitude. Out
bursts of violence at different points
in the great manufacturing centers
of the world occasionally occur
with such sudden violence as to
create an impression that society is
seated over slumbering volcanoes.
But the number of persons who
constitute the inflammable portion
of the fraternity of labor, though
large enough to be troublesome, is,
at the same time, small enough to
be kept in check, and almost with
out exception is made up of per-
sons of the baser sort from the
mines and workshops of Europe.
The labor question in the Hawaiian
Kingdom presents phases entirely
different from those that character
ize it abroad. How to make the
laboring population of the Kingdom
a source of moral support to the in
stitutions of civilization is the great
problem of Hawaiian political eco
nomy. The problem is practically
solved in America by the respect
able position won, through their in
telligence and skill, by the working
men in society. The great body of
the skilled workmen of this King
dom are also supporters of civilized
institutions. The standing griev-
ance with them is similar to that of
the cigar-makers over the water
the danger of being "knocked out"
by Chinese hands. This grievance
has, so far, fortunately been fought
here on no more bloody fields than
the columns of the newspapers. 1t
is ''consummation devoutly wished
for" that the grievances of our
white mechanics may be removed
without the necessity ever arising
for combinations to vindicate their
rights by violent measures. Econo-
mical habits of living, as already
stated, are only too apt to be the
last means thought Of, for improving
their condition, by persons of limited
incomes. Strikes for higher wages
seldom succeed, but the strike for
economy is sure to win every time.

President Cleveland has decided
that there is limit to his obligations
to the faithful seekers of reward for
devotion to country through their
party. He has issued a decree, in
effect, that he is not to be pestered
by the opportunities of office-seekers
after November 1st. And all the
people who are patriotic for patrio-
tism's sake will say Amen.
A signal victory over miscellan-
eous force of Black Flags, AMMAN
ties and deserters from the Chinese
army-numbering 5000 In all-is
reported from the French army of
occupation in AMMAN. "The enemy
fought stubbornly, but were eom-
pletely routed" with ''great slaugh-
ter" Nevertheless, it is not clear
that all the slaughtering by the
French in that quarter has amounted
to much advantage for the French
Republic. In AMMAN, as in NADIA
gascar, it would appear that the in
vading Gauls have ultimately come
back to the ground first occupied,
and all their present fighting is for
dear life. Military occupation that
does not prevent the massacre of the
occupying troops countrymen-as
appears to be the case in AMMAN
cannot be maintained under a very
satisfactory tenure.
