New YORK, Feb. i9-The cars on the

O'Clock Thursday morning. Crowds of

account of the company failing to keep its
promise. Long hours, poor pay AMI over
work have determined the men to make
firm stand this time, and it is said their
victory will be a permanent SUCCESS.
Negotiations looking to a settlement of
the difficulty are now in progress. The
men say the company has not put the time
table they promised into effect, and have
been keeping them waiting on promise.
They also object to the "trip" system which
makes great difference in pay. The "trip"
is to pay the men by the trips they make.

LAX TREATMENT or PRISONERS,

1t is reiterating what has been
said thousand times, and every
body in the community knows, TO
say that the management of the
country's prisoners is inexcusably
lax. Nevertheless, it is the duty
of public journals to continue their
exertions in endeavoring to secure
amendment. 1t is not with the
management of the jail, or of the
prisoners while within its walls, that
there is dissatisfaction on the part
of decent and law-respecting peo-
pie, but with the loose way in
which they are regulated while out
side. The system of hiring prisoners
as private servants Is decidedly oh
iectionable, and cannot otherwise
than lessen the dread of Jail to per-
sons disposed to commit breaches of
the law. But the special aspect
of convict treatment that now comes
up for comment and animadversion,
is the freedom accorded those gen.
tlemen while marching through the
streets or supposed to be working
on the roads. A complaint appeared
in this paper yesterday, over the
signature of a aprominent merchant,
and the public know that the COM
plant is well founded. The prisoners
march through the street in squads,
chattering TO each other, OCCASION
ally exchanging words with some
old acquaintance as they pass, and
not 'lnfrequently stepping out of the
ranks for few seconds to procure
something from a wayside store.
At the places where they are sup
posed to be at work, they may be often
seen sitting around, smoking, and
having things pretty much their own
way. No doubt, the prisoners them
selves appreciate this kind of treat
ment, and can scarcely help feeling
that they are lucky lot of fellows.
As to its having a reforming effect
on them is another question. 1t is
more likely to make them less care
full to avoid second term. Where
prisoner life is so free and easy,
the thought of prison cannot be a
very strong deterrent to wrong-do-
lug. We cannot think that those
who break the law of the land, and
incur thereby its penalty, are en-
titled TO such easy and considerate
treatment.

Especially, Ia regard 60 the for-
tugucsc Band. When it was initia-

from You and all upon the Portu-
gucse, because they were going to
start q band, sc.
Didn't you at that time know that
the band was going to make noisei
] think you are not such a fool as
10 not have thought OF It, Why
didn't you suggest at first some
suitable locality for it. No, at that
time nobody said anything against
it, now that it is advancing at fast
strides, You come to the front and
say that it is nuisance, &C., and
that it must be removed. &c. You
do this, why? Because they are
poor; they have no high standing
in the community; for that reason
let us all say crush them! Smash
them! They have no right to do
anything, or to stand up amongst
the community.

The above communication has

sion having been supplied, the CON-
munication now appears. Our cor
respondent did not seem TO under
stand that it is the rule of this
office, in common with newspaper
offices in general, not to publish
anonymous matter without knowing
its authorship. With regard to the
subicct-matter of the communica-
ton, it is simply absurd. How
ridiculous to say that opposition is
offered to the Portuguese band be-
cause it's members are poor. Who
is opposed to it? Nobody, that
we know of. We certainly are not,
but hailed its Inauguration with sat-
isfaction, and still wish it every pos
sible success. To be opposed to
the band and to be opposed to its
practising where its practice be-
comes annoying to the neighbor-
hood, are two entirely different
things, which any man of ordinary
intelligence readily understands

THE PORTUGUESE BAND.

EDITOR BULLETIN:-I see in your
journal motto which attracts my
attention. and believe that every
body who loves the sacred principles
of liberty likes the sound of its words,
-'Pledged to neither Sect nor Party,
but established for the benefit of
all"
! am in accord with, and admire
the true words of Monsieur +. Lie
Der, in his words-''Publicity is a
condition without which liberty can
not live"
Therefore, l think it is right TO
give publicity to anything that will
enlighten the world and build up
said liberty, But not in giving pub
licity to things which are only to
satisfy the irony of certain indivi-
duals, and make the rest of the
people with common sense look upon
it with sarcasm. As for instance,
the continued pricking in your jour
nal against the Portuguese colony,
as well as in other journals of this
city.
Why, do you act in this way?
Is il because they are most poor
and shipped people that come to
this country as slaves, TO work and
till the soil for the maintenanl Of
their numerous families, and be-
canse they are not rich and do not
occupy high positions in the country?
Are these the reasons why you
generally say "lhere was robbery
committed in such place probably
PortugueseJ" Yes, believe, ]
struck the point because a hunter
would rather shoot at a rabbit than AT
a bear!
! don't see any reason why they
should be treated this way, when
they did not implore to come to
this country at first; they were en-
treated TO do so.

THE ENTRANCE FEE TOO HIGH.

1t is the opinion of many, and one
in which we concur, that the pro-
prietor of the Panorama of
kilauea." now on exhibition in
Honolulu, has placed the admission
fee too high. The picture is un-
questionab!y splendid production,
portraying vividly and truthfully
our great national wonder, and is
well worth seeing. But in these
times of cash scarcity, many people
feel unable to afford payment of Il
dollar for view of the fine painting.
If onc-half of that amount were
charged, we are of opinion that more
than double the number of people
would attend the exhibition, and the
proprietor would profit more than
by the present high admission fee.
