MUDDY STREETS.

Rain always exposes defects in public
thoroughfares. If there is bad spot
anywhere it is certain to be seen after a
good soaking rainstorm, such as we had
in Honolulu on Wednesday night and
Thursday. The streets are in a very
filthy and unsatisfactory condition,
which should not be the case with the
large expenditure of public money under
the street cleaning contract. There is
really no exception to this description
The streets and roads leading out of the
city upon all sides are in a disgraceful,
and in some places a dangerous condi-
ton. Why such a state of things should
exist it is difficult to understand. The
Legislature made ample provision for
this service in the last two sessions,
and as we have already said, the ex
penditure under the street cleaning con-
tract should have given far better re-
suits.
AT the risk of being considered obtru-
sive, we would therefore again suggest to
His Excellency Mr. Aholo the impera-
tive necessity for intending the Ways
of the city If there be one thing above
another which is calculated to produce
grumbling and discomfort, it is the ne
cessity for wading through mud and
slush on streets and highways, which
should be clean and in thorough repair
if the taxpayers money were honestly
applied. Every one in Honolulu can
youch for the necessity for wading
through mud and slush, and
everyone also knows that enough
money has been spent to ensure good
roads. Any amount of dissatisfaction
and grumbling is therefore eXcusable
and as the representative of the public
in this matter we give expression to then
feelings.
Mr.. Aholo is new to the duties OF hi:
office, and being crowded with the mui
tiplicity of details lppertaining to it he il
no doubt excusable in degree for no
taking active measures for prosecutin!
street and road repairs "a suggested 10y
the ADVERTISER short time ago. Blu
there should be no unnecessary delay
The late rain is the precursor, we hope
of very wet season, by which the
country would greatly profit; and for
this reason it is essential that advan
tage be fully taken of dry spells inter
vening, to get our thoroughfares int
something like a decent condition.

MORE LIGHT.

There is a shortage in the supply OF
illuminating fluid for lighting the city,
or else there is great economy in its use.
Last night the city and suburbs were in
a state of comparative darkness. The
inconvenience arising from this ecOno-
my of light was especially noticeable
when the fire alarm rang early
on Thursday morning. The con-
tractor should certainly be compelled to
throw more light upon the dark ways Of
Honolulu. The attention of His Ex-
cellency Mr. AholO is therefore called to
this matter In the late session, street
lighting, in common with nearly every
expenditure involving patronage, was
concentrated in the Interior Department,
and as Mr.. Aholo is at one and the same
time Minister of the Interior and Attor-
ney General he has absolute control of
the police and street lighting. Let him
therefore exercise his great powers in
the public interest, and take care that
while the police are called upon to pro-
tect life and property they will not be
baulked in their work by the default of
the contractor to light the streets.

\ preliminary test of the new sample
fire hydrant alluded to few days since
was applied yesterday morning at the
head of Emma street. \ hose 100 feet
long was attached to one of the small
nozzles, and without the employment OF
steam power, horizontal stream $50 feet
long was thrown. Two 80 feet lengths OF
hose were then attached to both the
small nozzles, and perpendicular streams
about 12O feet high were obtained. After
this, the small nozzles were shut off and
the large engine nozzle turned on, the
result being heavy stream which
ploughed up the ground. The opera
tions are considered eminently satisfac-
tory and it is anticipated that the fur
Their test with steam, which will proba-
bly, take place tomorrow, will be

DANGEROUS FOOTPATHS.

There probably never will be anything
like uniformity in footpaths until the
city is under a municipal government,
and manages its own affairs. But that
is no reason why the authorities should
not compel owners Of property to level
and repair the footpaths fronting their
premises. The danger to life and limb
from defective sidewalks is imminent.
But unevenness and want of regularity
in formation are not the only defects.
Traps and pitfalls await the unwary al
most at every step, while in some places
The filthy condition OF the footpath
amounts to a pestilent nuisance. This
is especially true OF the footpath on
Hotel street fronting what is known as
the Brewer estate, between the gate lead
into the Hon. Mr.. Bishops property and
Goo Kim's store. Surely something can
be done to abate this standing nuisance.

a New Lamp.

The Pacific Hardware Company re-
ceived by last steamer a dozen of San
Clarke's new "Fairy" lamps, semi-in-
candescent These are something en-
tirely new. The lamp consists of a
round flower dish, in the center of which
is a small wax candle. Over this is
placed a small shade, which comes in
different colors. The light at night is
most beautiful, and the lamp is an orna-
ment to a dinner table, which will be
much sought after. The company will
receive a large invoice of them in a few
weeks. They are just the thing for a
Christmas present. a specimen one can
he seen at any time at the store.
