PUBLIC WORKS AND PUBLIC CREDIT

A correspondent takes up ourE
plea of few days ago, that publicf
works should, if possible, be under-E
taken to neutralize the business
depression in its effects upon thes
working classes. This writer believes
there is enough money in the hands,
of local capitalists to afford theI
necessary loans to the Government
for such purposes. Therefore, in|
that case, the only question would
be as to the confidence of capitalists
in the Government. The fact seems
to be, however, that the Government
has no authority to borrow money
except for certainfpurposes specified
in the Loan Act of 1882, and the
extension of the Honolulu Water
works is not one of those purposes.
So, then, the question is not one of
DuDllC CICulG dC XII, Duo iuehSl O'S
of the ordinary revenue of the King
dom. We confess that we were
under different impression, but an
examination of the Session Laws OF
the past three Legislatures shows
that the Waterworks extension must
take its chances with other ordinary
objects of expenditure. 1t is sur
prising that the Legislature did moi
make provision for this expenditure
being met by loan. There is nc
object in the whole Appropriation
Bill for which public loan could be
more appropriately asked of loca
capitalists, or more likely to be
cheerfully granted by them, thar
this one.

The letter of "a Hoseman has
our full sympathy. 1t agrees with
sentiments expressed i'll these col
ltmns on former occasions. Putting
out fires is one of the things that
many people imagine they could dc
better than those who have devoted
themselves to the work. All that is
wanted to take the conceit out o1
such people is, in most cases, to Lei
them try their hands. 1t is rather
scool to dcsidc our gallant lircmer

the FOOLS OF HONOLULU.

EplToR BuLLETIN:-Bc kind
enough to allow me space for al
few words relating to the Honolulu
Fire Department. Last night, while
passing along the street after putting
iup our engine, l heard statement
made that the Fire Department were
Fall FOOLS" 'They never know
where the fire is, and never get to a
sirc until it is all burnt down." Now
| suppose there is an alarm in the
dead of night, it means that we fools
shave to dress and run to our res
1pcctive engine houses, and then pull
1 Jour engine to the fire, situated may
Sbe mile away. Then lay hose and
stake water, all for glory. Now all
athis the fools know does take time.
and when there is a fire a distance
afrom town the fools very seldom gel
athe alarm until the roof is ready tC
afall, and we fools are supposed tt
abe all ready for water to quench thu
ahames as soon rs they arc kindled
AAll this the gentlemen know.
Hwould like to say to those gentle
Hmen, that the next time there is Al
;aalarm let them run Immediately t,

LuDTNdToN, Mich, December 81 Tho
Flint and Pierre Marquet steamer No. 1
left Milwaukee Tuesday night with a
number of passengers and a cargo of
-four and sundries. After a heavy passage
the steamer reached the pier at Luding-
ton at I o'clock this morning. While at
tempting to enter the mouth of the river
the wind drove the vessel to the north of
the pier and it was blown sideways on the
beach. During the excitement of the
disaster the steamship connected with the
boiler burst and Joseph Slice, fireman,
was scalded and died shortly after. Two
of the crew were also badly injured but it
is thought they will recover The life
saving crew took off the passengers and
the remainder of the crew safely. The
boat is lying in a dangerous position and
with the present sea no help can reach
her. A portion az he cargo has been
washed overheard and her smokestack
and rudder are also gone. If the hull is
not broken the damage will be less than is
feared. The boat was built in 1882 at nm
expense of 100000, and in 1855 ii was
enlarged at an expense of $4,000.

WASHINGTON, d. c., December al
A series of astronomical observations will
soon begin at the naval observatory to
determine to the utmost nicely the lati-
tude of the institution, or to speak more
exact the latitude of a certain telescope
which will be used in the process. A
naval officer has been detailed to perform
the duty which may require two years for
its completion, one year for observation
and another to work up results mathemat-
ically. A similar series of observations
will be made by the Portuguese astrono-
mers at Lisbon, and ultimately at the natu-
raj observatories in several other parts Of
the world. The purpose Of these under
takings is to secure a standard by which
comparisons may be made ten, twenty or
fifty years hence to determine if in the
meantime geographical changes which
are supposed to be taking place in the
interior of the globe have altered the posi-
ton of its center of gravity.

SAN Francisco, December 3l.-The
Tombstone Epitaph ~telegaphs: The
Americans arrested at Cuitaca, Sonora,
about a month ago, are still held prisoners
atMa gdalena, where they would be suf-
fering for the necessities of life were it
not for help furnished them by friends on
this side of the line. No charges have
been made against them. The Governor
of Sonora promised their release by
Christmas day, but failed to redeem his
promise. The people of Tombstone are
indignant and forwarded the following
dispatch to-day: 1.-THE President, Wash
ington, d. CIV. D. Fleming, George
r. Watts, Stephen Hinckle, Thomas
White, Frank Mills, and two others,
names unknown, American citizens, of
this place, are incarcerated in prison in
Magdalena, in Sonora, by the Mexican
authorities, who have made no charges
against them. Their case appeals for I'M
mediate action on the part of the general
government. Our efforts and those Of
the United States Consuls at Guaymas
and Nogales are %unavailing.
'(Signed) JOHN p. RAFFERTY,,
Mayor of Tombstone"
A second dispatch reads: y. w.
Davis, Commander Department Califor-
MIA, G.. A. r., San Francisco. -Comrades
Watts and Fleming, members of Burnside
Post, Tombstone, are detained in prison
in Magdalena, Sonora, without charges
being preferred against them. All our
efforts for their release have been without
avail. VIII you see that the matter is
laid before the Proper authorities at
Washington without delay?

Post Commander.
Trouble will arise unless the men are
promptly released.

Rather chilly weather.

DENVER, December 3l.-The weather
report from the mountains shows thatthe
snow storm has entirely subsidized, but it
is intensely cold in many places, the Their
mometer being 24o below and growing
colder. Marshall Pass is still open; the
Salt Lake trains are making schedule
time; the blockade on the high line to
Leadville has been raised and no very
serious inconvenience anywhere resulted
from the recent storms. An ~unimportant
blockade is still reported on the Conejos
range and Blue River, branches. but it is
expected that with two days of fair
weather every road in the State will be
in full operation.
CHICAGO, December 3l.-Another cold
wave reported throughout the Northwest.
Mercury here fell 30o between midnight
and 9 a. m. Telegraph service and trains
impeded in Minnesota and Iowa.

MONTREAL, December Sl.-Owing to
the heavy thaw work on the ice palace has
been entirely suspended. 1t is feared that
unless it turns colder the work done will
be to no purpose. 1t is also feared the
structure will not be finished in time, but
the architect declares the castle can be
put up in half the time it took last year.
Work will be carried on at night by cleo
trio light if necessary. As for the condora
it can be built in ten days. 1t is under
stood that the carnival drive will be re-
stricted to TOURS, skies and Fights in hand,
unicorns, tandems and pairs with sleighs
manned by snow shoe and tobogan. The
river fell two inches to-day and is still
falling. 1t is the general opinion, how
ever, that the water will rise again as soon
as cold weather sets in. The merchants
along the river front and in low localities
continue to remove their goods to places
of safety.

Hard on F%oundlings.

DENVER, December 3l.-Last night
another founding died at Williams Asy-
lum, making three deaths from inattention
since Christmas. At the Coroner's in
quest to-day, Williams admitted hat no
physician had been called to attend the
children, or the simplest remedies applied,
as he and his household firmly believed
in the efficiency Of prayer for curing all
human ills, and where the patient dies in
his institution no human power could
have saved them. Prominent physicians
held an autopsy to-day, which revealed
the fact that one or most of the children
would have recovered with proper medical
attention, or ever under the care of a
competent nurse. The Coroner's jury
declares in its verdict that the institution
is in the hands Of a lot of religious fanat-
les, who, in the above cases, were crimi-
nally negligent, and recommends hat the
place be closed by the authorities.

day was OK tail soup and supper of En-
glish meats. The party suffered from
cold feet. He closes the entry for this day
with these words: "How glad we are
that the end of the year has been reached
again can hardly be explained. Rice ex-
poets to start across about the end of Jan
uary." The entry for New Years day is
as follows: January l, Tuesday. The
day was passed in our bags. Lieutenant
Greedy came over and paid IN a visit
shortly after breakfast. He told me that
the Doctor had made overtures to make
allowance (for offensive remarks made
sometime ago) and that he had declined.
He told me also that some time ago he
felt certain the Doctor was easing up dur
ing the night on Corporal Ellison's allow
ance of bread. He was within q feet of
the Doctor at the time and he would
swear to the fact before a
court. He thought it right to mention
the fact to Brainerd, but had said nothing
to anyone else about it. But this as well
as former matters he should make a sub
ject of report to the proper authority. He
told me hat Ellison's hands and feet
were s%uppurating fast, that amputation
would evidently have TO be performed,
but that nothing would be attempted here,
but at Littleton Island. We have all
been feeling remarkably high spirited
to-day on the coming of the new year
and this evening all seemed hopeful. We
now speak frequently of getting home
this year. The condition of the party is
far superiorao anything | expected and
the future bids well to come out all right.

MADRID, December 3l.-A further
earthquake shock was experienced yester-
day at Vilez, Malaga, a city of $4,000
people, a few miles from Malaga. The
shocks were of much violence. Many
houses were utterly destroyed. The peo-
pie, terror stricken, abandoned the city al
together and encamped outside the town,
and the telegraph station has been re-
moved to the same place. One thousand
houses at Albania are in ruins. The work

bodies were recovered. The shocks yes
terday were also felt more or less severely
elsewhere throughout the Province of
Malaga and through Granada. They oc-
CURED between the hours of I and 10 in
the morning. There was a further loss of
life and property at Periana, Riogardo,
Vinnitta and Alfanatiko. The estimated
total number of PERSONS killed since
Christmas is two thousand. The town of
A%lbuquerois completely destroyed. Man y
people persisted, among whom are several
local officials. Subscriptions for the re-
lief of the sufferers have been started at
Madrid, Malaga and Granada. The King
has subscribed $780, 900.
The panic caused by the earthquakes
is increasing at Archidona Granada, Tor
rox and Velez Malaga. The Inhabitants
are still encamped in fields. The museum,
university, hospital and prison, and the
Government offices at Granada are more
or less severely injured.

MONTREAL, December 31.-The police
authorities believe the recent robbery Of
$4,000 from Lafevere's jewelry store, on
Notre Dame street, was planned and
carried out by Jones, the noted chief of
American burglars. Some years ago
Jones was sentenced to seven years in the
p%enitentiary for robbery, but owing to his
health and influence succeeded lately in
getting the term commuted. Lefevere

The Botanical Gardens are open daily from

at the foot of Capitol Hill, facing Penn
sylyania avenue. The object Of the gar
den is experimental in Horticulture pub
lie information and the distribution of
rare plants. The disposition of the col
lection is according to geographical
distribution. The strictly tropical plants
occupy the central conservatory, aud
those of u semi-tropical nature are
placed In the west range and wing, and
all Indigenous to countries lying to-
ward the South Pole are in the east
range and wing. During the summer
the hardest plants in boxes are ranged
ON either side Of the main walk, aud
contribute materially to the beauty Of
the garden. In the centre of the lawn
facing the conservatory Is the Bar
tholdi fountain, which was exhibited at
the Centennial EXposition'in 1876. The
fountain, in full play, presents beautl-
full effect, especially when rejecting
the rays of the sun.
