What part will China take
in the great European war
when it once gets well under
way? Some of the leading En-
glish papers are beginning to
put forth conjectures in this
direction, acknowledging that
the Celestial empire has with
III a half dozen years made
mighty strides, and now ranks
as a great power. She might
bother Russia a good deal,
cause England no end Of
trouble in Bur1nah or India,
stir up the French in Tonquin,
and even interfere with Ger

fine, she might prove, it is be-
ginning to be thought, quite a
valuable ally or a very dis

The Torcnlight Procession.

The committee appointed TO make
arrangements for the projected torchlight
procession on the 18th instant, in which
the Honolulu Fire Department is to
figure, met at noon yesterday at the
office of Messrs. Hustace & Robertson.
There were present Chief Engineer {.
B. Wilson, First Assistant julius Asch,
Second Assistant Frank Hustace, Fire
Marshal Mcclure and Mr.. b. Orden-
stein. 1t was decided that the fire
companies are to assemble in full dress
uniform at the Bell Tower at O'Clock
on the evening mentioned. Line will
be formed and the procession will start
at 7:30, passing along Hotel street to
Maunakea, thence along King to Rich
ard up Richard to the Palace gates,
through which it will enter into the
Palace yard where three cheers will be
given for His Majesty the King. Re
Stunning its progress, the procession will
make its exit at the Richard street gate,
and after traversing Beretania street,
will pass along Nuuanu, down King to
Fort, thence to Hotel street, terminating
its career at the Bell Tower, where the
companies will dispense. All the en-
gines will be drawn by horses, and every
fireman will carry a blazing torch, whilst
the Bell Tower will be adorned with Il
chaste design, consisting of 40 lights.
At the conclusion of the ceremony a
grand luau will be given by No. 4 Com
pany at their headquarters, and a SINH
lar intention has been mooted in con
nection with No. ,. The expenses OF
the days rejoicings will, it is estimated,
amount to $500.

TO ALL WHOM IT MAY CONCERN.

Something was vaguely limited at by
a contemporary the other day regarding
nuisances and scandals, and the estab-
lishment of Police Intelligence Bureau
to check these evils was suggested.
Now, we most decidedly object to this
for reasons which must be evident to all
intelligent persons. Social gossip runs
strong enough without allying it to a
police bureau. Life would soon become
intOlerable in this community were
such combination made. But
there are many things which should
come under police supervision and re-
straint that do not This is partly the
fault of the police, and partly on account
of encouragement and countenance in
influential quarters. a hint in this di-
rection may do some good, and we freely
give the hint that a proper regard for
moral and social cOnventionalities is not
only expected, but is imperative in every
rank and condition of life pretend
ing to responsibility. That this
is not always the case is too true; and if
rumor is to be credited at all, there is
little or no chance OF improvement un-
less public opinion declares itself very
strongly against practices that not only
tend to demoralize the people, but
which are calculated to bring the coun-
try into contempt and disfavor abroad.
We do not care to 90 into details at
present, but if necessary we shall not
shrink from doing so in the interest Of
public morals, social purity, and good
government. The Hawaiian Kingdom
cannot afford, in this year of grace, to
forfeit the respect of the moral and re-
ligious world by which it has here
tofore been sustained

BELLS AND OTHER NOISES.

This is a city Of churches and of bells.
The bells predominant. They are sonor-
Gus, cracked, and shall We say, tinkling
Their chatter is incessant. From early
morning till eventide they summon the
faithful to prayer in tones of varying in
tensity, according as they are swung.
Now, these bells are a nuisance They
disturb the rest of sleepers, and in the
case of sick people to whom quiet and
repose are essential to convalescence,
they must inhict positive misery
if not even Fastening death. And
what for? That the devOtiOnally in
clined may be reused from their slum-
bers or called from secular pursuits to
worship within the sanctuary" But
does anyone imagine for moment that
the tolling of bells causeth the attend
ance of single person who would other
wise have remained away? We cannot
and moreover bells are no longer
needed to mark time for an ignorant
and simple people. We put it therefore
to the controlling power in each church
whether they should not make a test OF
the attractions of the sanctuary on their
own merits without the adventurous aid
of changing bells.
Another nuisance, although one of
more recent occurrence, Is the hideous
wailing noises that come from the vi
cinity of Palace yard every evening. If
it be practice of ancient music it should
be prosecuted out of ear-shOt of every
body; but if not, it should be sum
marily stopped. We cannot imagine
Bandmaster Berger being present when
this blowing of rams horns, or shells, or
other primitive kind of musical instru-
ment is going on. But we hope he will
find leisure to attend one of these re-
hearsals and stop it forthwith.

that under proper regulations its con-
sumption might be at least regulated,
if not lessened, by license and police su-
pervision- This is our judgment in the
matter, but We do not contend that the
law to license the sale Of opium enacted
last session is calculated to accomplish
this object. And we hope and trust,
therefore. that no license will be issued
under it.
Meanwhile if opium is supplied to
pupils in Government schools by Chi
nese OF other persons, as alleged, it is
the imperative duty of the Board of Edu-
cation to take the matter up and arrive
at the truth regarding it as speedily as
possible.

OPIUM IN A GOVERNMENT SCHOOL.

We agree with a contemporary in say
ing that it is the duty of the Board of
Education to meet the charge, publicly
made, that opium is used by boys in
a Government school, by prompt de-
mand for a specific allegation, setting
out the facts, to be followed by public
investigation. The charge is either true
or it is false If false, it does a gross
Injustice to the educational directors
and teachers; if true, the facts should
be sifted to the bottom, and those re-
sponsible for such a fragrant abuse of
discipline and sanitary laws should be
exposed and punished. Ii action to this
end has been taken by the Board of Ed
ucation we have not heard of it; that it
should be taken does not admit of quas-
ton.
But we fail to perceive how this Incl
dent touches the policy OF licensing the
sale of opium. 1t took place under the
very noses of the prOhibitionists, in ex-
press violation of the law, and without
the knowledge OF the School Superin-
tendent or teachers. 1t follows, there
fore, that prohibition does not in any
sense prohibit the use of opium, and

think that his salary ought to be paid by
the United States Government, while
he Is III a foreign country doing scien-
tific work for its Government. We en-
tireiy agree in this opinion, and think
that the Minister Of the Interior should
at once authorize Professor Alexander,
the head OF the Survey Department, to
pay Mr.. Preston a sufficient sum, say
$1,000, exclusive OF transportation, for
his services. The question OF few
thousand dollars should not be allowed
to defeat scientific work which would re-
feet so much credit upon both Govern
ments, and we hope to see it carried out.
1t would, for one thing, locate the island

In addition to the foregoing outlined
work, there is Il probability of another
equally important project being under
taken at an early date by the Hydro
graphic Office of the United States Navy
Department, which would greatly benefit
Hawaii The ever vigilant aud intelli-
gent head OF the Government Survey
Department, Professor Alexander, hav-
ing observed that United States war
ship had run line of soundings from
New Zealand to the Straits of Magellan
last December, the idea occurred to him
that similar line of soundings might
be run from these Islands westward, to
determine the rocks and shoals, and the
depth and nature of the sea bottom.
This suggestion was taken up by the
Government, and His Excellency II. A.
z. Carter being in Honolulu at the time,
he was consulted as to the likelihood OF
the Secretary of the Navy detailing a
national ship for that purpose. The
wreck of the British ship DunnOtter
Castle at Ocean Island, where the
United States warship Saginaw had
previously been lost, having subse-
quently occurred, we have been in
formed that Mr. Carter was written to
by the Minister for Foreign Affairs, who
requested him to bring the sub
ject before the United States Govern
ment as a matter affecting the com
merce of the United States in common
with that of other maritime countries
AS Secretary Whitney is favorably dis
posed towards this Kingdom, and has
in various ways manifested a friendly
feeling towards it, there is every reason
to hope that this important work will be
undertaken by the United States Hydro
graphic Bureau under instructions Of
the Secretary of the Navy. These
scientific enterprises, carried out by the
aid of the United States Government,
will be of the highest importance to
this country, and must tend to draw it
into closer and more intimate relations
with the Great Republic to which it
already owes so much.
