speak of. That is, from the kind which
premeditates its evil actions and be
comes, as it were, semi-professional.
We do not hold that there has not been,
at different times, very rough classes Of
people here; this is always the case in
seaport towns; but we wish to make a
distinction between the class of undesir
able people chance throws upon our
shore, and those who reside here and
become undesirable, or aid in fostering
and abetting a class Of rufians who
threaten to give this community serious
and expensive trouble.
No one who has lived in Honolulu for
the past few years Will deny that there
have occasionally been evidences Of the
growth of an undesirable class OF what
may be distinguished as ''roughs." The
existence OF such a class has occasion
ally cropped out in our Police Court rec
ords, and those who have had business
which called them out during the hours
Of night know very well that such class
not only exists, but has been growing
apace. When times are flush r1ffianism
takes the more refined form of gambling
and swindling; but when a community
settles down into the rut OF permanent
commercial existence and dollar means
a hundred cents worth OF actual labor,
then rufIianism develops in all of its
brutal deformity and the time has come
when the law must stife the i'll deeds of
this class of society or be overridden and
defed by it.
The display of brutal ruffianism which
took place in the streets of Honolulu on
last Thursday night is sufficient to show
that hoodlumism has reached the point
here when it must be checked. We do
not care to inquire now what circum-
stances led to the present affair, or who
that we have people in Honolulu who
are unIawfully fostering this class of
people, and that in consequence a semi
professional lot of roughs are making
periodical work the pretext for carrying on
their nefariOus practices. 1t is quite
true that the officers of the law cannot
take the matter thoroughly in hand
until this ruffianism oversteps the limits
of legal propriety; but whenever it does
it becomes the duty of the police to deal
speedily with those who fagrantly violate
the law, as in this case, and also to deal
promptly with those who have any con-
nection with the affray, where such con-
nection can be proved. 1t is the duty of
the police to stife ruffianism in Homo
lulu before it gets permanent foothold.

RUFFIANISM.
recess.

Honolulu, like all other cities, seems
to have reached the point in civilization
which develops what is known, in amore
or less extended sense, as the ''city
rough No city of any size entirely es-
capes the curse of hoodlumism, but
some cities deal so promptly and eff
ciently with all phases of rutfianism
that they may be said to be far in adj
vance of other cities socially. On the
other hand, there are cities in every
country where hoodlumism seems to get
the upper hand of law and order, while
municipalities actually gain the unen-
viable reputation OF taking pride in de-
veloping a class OF roughs who make
the surrounding country and neighbor-
ing towns tremble. The city OF Troy,
in the State of New York, is such
place, and San Franciscan hoodlumism
went SO far at one time that the word
"hoodlum'' was coined to represent the
peculiar species of rutfianism developed
on the Pacific Coast.
1t is but justice to say that Honolulu
has in past years been almost wholly
free from the kind of rufianism W.

Departure of the zeaIandia.

The Oceanic Company's Hawaiian
steamship Zealandia left this port for
San Francisco at noon on last Saturday.
Her cargo consisted of 12,473 bags OF
sugar, of which Messrs. w g. Irwin &
Co. shipped 8 $50 bags; l ,446 bags rice,
l 1876 punches bananas, 1901 hides,
2,698 goat skins, $3.50 pieces sugar cane
and sundry articles of general merchan-
disc, making total valuation of $91,-
713 81. His Majesty the King was on
the wharf, as was also His Excellency
George W Merrill, United States Min
lister Resident, who was present at
the departure of the United States Con-
SUI Mr.. J. II. Putnam. There were but
few passengers this trip, and the absence
OF the Royal Hawaiian Military Band,
which is attending the Sunday-school
Convention at Hilo, was generally
noticed

A large audience was present at the
morning service OF the above church
yesterday, including all of the volunteer
military companies except the Honolulu
Rifles. His Majesty the King, attended
by Adjutant l. L. Kaiama of the House
hold, was present. The Rev. Mr.. Waia-
mau opened the exercises with prayer,
after which Hon. J. w. Kalua delivered
an address. At the conclusion of the SER
vice, collection for the church fund
was taken up, which amounted to $500.
Another collection for the same fund

LEGISLATIVE WORK.

The work of the Legislature is fast
drawing to a close, unless the session is
to be prolonged indefinitely. This is
wholly unnecessary. There is really
nothing to be done that may not be dis
posed of in week or ten days at the
utmost, if members would abstain from
irrelevant talk Members from the
other islands are chief sufferers from
the procrastinating methods adopted by
a section of the Assembly, who do not
feel the inconvenience of delay. As a
rule the obstructionists reside at Homo
lulu, and can attend to their ordinary
avocations with more or less regularity
above all, they are at home, surrounded
by their families and home comforts.
With members whose homes and inter
ests are at distance from this city the
case is different. They are put to great
inconvenience and not a little expense,
for it is not probable that the pay
allotted to members by law suffices in
ordinary cases for the expenditures of a
long session Whether such is the case
in the present session we cannot speak
positively, but we do say that should it
be spun out very much longer, country
members will be considerably out of
pocket by attending to their Legislative
duties. As we do not suppose that any
one would seriously think OF rewarding
continuous attendance to public duty on
the part OF members of the Assembly by
imposing what amounts to a pecuniary
fine, we would suggest, to avoid this re-
suit, that the work of the session be got
through speedily.
The Appropriation bill is now well for
ward, and with diligence another day or
two in committee would dispose OF it al
together, although it might be well to
delay the third reading so as to include
all necessary items. There are other
bills of public utility before the House
which should likewise pass. These
should be taken up in regular order, |
avoiding al extraneous matter and irri- |
tating questions. OF course it is for the
Legislature to require, and the Govern /
ment to furnish, the fullest information |
upon all public matters. There should |
be no concealment or suppression; on |
the other hand, there should be no in |
tervention by the Legislature into execu- /
tive action out Of mere idle curiosity or
to delay business. The justice and pro- |
priety of this remark must commend it !
self to the intelligence of all unbiased
people. That this course has not been
pursued during the entire session is re-
grettable, but that Is no reason why the
rule should not prevail during the re-
of it. So far as we can perceive,
there is no useful purpose to be served
nv persistence in the old tactics. What
the country needs is a safe and progress
i've administration, under which all
loose ends will be gathered up, and pub
lie affairs placed upon satisfactory
footing. This will not be accomplished
bv perpetual pickering, and it is hardly
possible under persistent line OF mis-
and abuse during the

The Chinese Club House.

1t is understood that the Chinese club
house, on King street, which was de-
stroyed by fire in April last, is soon to
be rebuilt on the same premises.
Through the neglect of some OF the
members of the club, who had charge OF
the club s affairs, there was no insurance
placed on the former building as was
contemplated, which resulted in an en-
tire loss of the funds previously sub
scribed. New subscriptions have been
circulating, however, for some time, and
enough had already been promised to
ensure the rebuilding OF the club house
1t is estimated that between seven and
nine thousand dollars will be required
to rebuild. The new club house will be
the same size as the other, but improve
ments in the interior arrangements will
be made. The new building will prob
ably have a neat iron veranda across the
front

Baseball.

\ game OF baseball was played at the
Makiki diamond last Saturday afternoon
between the HonOlulus and the Hawaiis,
which resulted in the former club win
ming by a score of 2S to s. The game
was called at five minutes past o'clock
and closed at quarter before 6. By
agreement, the game was closed at the
end of the sixth inning, owing to the
lateness OF the hour. The playing was or
binary, as is shown by the score, which
will be published in full if it is made out
by the scorer.

Virgins Again TO the Front.

OTTAWA, ONT, March In an in
terview Prof. Virgins sa d thst in Au-
gust last he predicted the winter OF
1885 would be unususl'y cold and
stormy on account Of the planet Saturn
being in pelite'ion. This planet, he
said, had forced the gulf stream out OF
the course and nearer the American
shore, which accounted for the lack of
snow in the maritime provinces this
winter. he also predicted some
months ago heavy storm on the me-
ridian Of London on March 81, which
would reach America on March 9TH,
accompanied by hish tides. He Gays
it will be lively in the maritime prov
inces next Sunday, and he is curious
to know how high Saturn will raise
the tidesat Quebec, Halifax and St
John. He added that in March vio-
lest northwest winds across the North
American continent always precede a
dangerous storm in the Atlantic.

containing eighteen fee t Of snow, some
of them half a mile in length.
Owing to the hight of the dlifts on

and echoed the warning note. The
APPEAL yesterday told how the Cotton
Exchange there has loudly summoned
the farmers Of the South to fee from
"all cotton" and, as the Jackson In
terstats Agricultural Association did,

hog and hominy and corn and grasses.
To proceed with the obstinats and un-

There is, perhaps, no more sure or

to carry il to an extreme. The great

diversified crops are necessary; some
OF them even know that those who
will net diversity will have ito sell
out to those who will" Yet they try
"all cotton" one more season, leaving
their neighbors to diversity. These
