HANDS Off.
[Aug. 20

Mr.. kauhane SAID in the House
yesterday that sit is only of late
years that we have heard in this coun-
try of Government candidates, or
Ministerial candidates" and express
ed the opinion that sit, would be
much better if the Ministry left the
elections alone, allowing the people
to vote as they please" Every
body who has been sufficiently long
in the country knows the above
statement of fact to be correct, and
many people agree with the express
sion of opinion. Our political
system, in so far as it relates to the
so-called responsible Ministers, is
somewhat unique, in some respects
differing from every other constitu-
tional system of which we have any
knowledge. A Ministry here stands
or falls solely by the Sovereign's
favor, without regard to public
sentiment. Neither the written con-
stitutlon nor established custom
requires it to. be otherwise. Neither
the people nor their representatives
in the legislature assembled possess
any constitutional power, real or
nominal, to dismiss or appoint a
cabinet. Then, why should the
Ministry in any way interfere with
the election of the peoples repre-
sentatives? The Ministers are not
necessarily chosen from either branch
of the legislative body, and as a
matter of fact seldom are so chosen.
OF the present cabinet, one minister
only is either noble or representa-
tive. Its predecessor was similarly
constituted; and seldom has it been
otherwise. If ministries here were
composed of members Of the legisla-
turc, as, for instance, in England,
we could see reason for their cam
paigning at elections; but as they
are not so composed, we are de-
cidedIy of opinion that they should
keep their hands off and let elections

communication with the Coast, At
one time bananas were exported in
sailing vessels only, and since
steamers have been regularly run
ming, and until quite recently,
they have been sent TO the Coast
in considerable quantities by sailing
vessels. True, the banana business
has been considerably expanded by
the steamers, but the expansion has
been too rapid and too large, so that
the trade has become improbable,
and many cultivators are discontinue
ing the production of bananas.
Here few months ago three or
four punches of good fruit could he
purchased for the amount of freight
on one bunch to the Coast. Banana
cultivation at such prices is not only
Improbable, but leads straight in
the direction of the insolvency court.
There has been no money in banana
raising for n long period past, and
unless prices go up or freights come
down many now engaged in that
line of cultivation contemplate turn
ing their attention to something else.
When the planters sent their pro-
duce to San Francisco in sailing
vessels the supply was not so great,
and prices were consequently better.
There was money in bananas in
those days, and some cultivators
made little fortunes, ceasing to plant
when planting became a losing VEN
ture. To he sure, it is not so safe
to export bananas by sailing vessels
as by steamers, because the former
are longer going, and uncertain as
to the time they will require. But
if the fruit is cut at a certain stage
of development, carefully handled,
and properly taken care of on board,
it will arrive over in good condition
after being eighteen or twenty days
on the water. So let it not be ina
gined that the banana business is
entirely dependent on Steamers

A BOLD ROBBERY.

Yesterday between 10 o'clock A. NJ.
and 4 :45 +. NJ, the residence of Mr..
Daniel Logan, of this paper, at Pa
lama was burglariously entered, and
variety of articles carried off.
The premises adjoin the Reforms
tory School lot, the lear of the
buildings being within about two
feet of the fence. The family We're
absent during the hours specified
above. The house was entered by
a side window on the maulka side.
The upper sash had been down to
the first catch. The burglar climb
ing up the side. evidently reached
over the sash, loosened the catch
inside and got the window open.
The rooms were all ransacked,
the back door opened, and the
stolen goods carried out by it. The
thieves left q trail of small articles,
dropped on the ground, from the
back door to the school fence. The
top of one of the fence pickets was
found newly broken off. The indi-
cations were that the burglars had
come and gone over the school
fence. The principal articles taken
are suit of mems clothes, a num-
Der of coats and other articles of
wearing apparel, medium sized
valise, a silver watch with gold plated
chain. The value of the articles
missing is about S75. The matter
was at once placed in the hands of
the police, for investigation

WELCOME RAIN.

Rain began, in gentle showers, at
an early hour last evening, and con-
tinued through the night. 1t has
also been showering, more or less,
most of the day, somewhat retard-
ing building operations on the many
new structures in the course of cree
ton. Rain was badly needed, and
its advent is therefore welcomed.
Cattle down country have been
suffering for lack of grass, and
vegetation in general is in Ian
gushing condition. The rain will
produce a covering of green in q
day or two, and all nature will
smile. Although we have not had
enough yet August 10Th.

THE BASEBALL MATCH.
LAST OF THE SEASON.

The last baseball match of the
Honolulu League for the season of
1886 was played on Saturday after
noon. There was goodly assem-
blage of spectators, and Mr.. Hart
was ON hand, as usual, with ice
cream and cooling drinks. A
miserable match was played. 1t
was twice interrupted by brisk
showers, and there was lackadaisi-
cal air about the play of the losing
club, which threw haze of gloom
over the diamond. The Benedict
received as bad beating as the
Hawaii on the previous Saturday.
Honolulu had its old team, with one
or two exceptions, Morton, of the
Hawaii, playing instead of Mark
ham, off on his honeymoon. The
teams were: Honolulu - Wode-
house, Dat, Whitney, Moore, Thurs
ton, Low, Castle, Parker and Nor
ton; Benedict-Chas. Wilder, Lish-
man, j. Winter, Chan. Wilder,
Lyons, f. Winter, Booth, Spencer
and Wall. The match collapsed
with the sixth inning, when Homo
lulu, which was not whitewashed at
all, had Is runs; and the Benedict,
whitewashed four times, had A.
Honolulu went first to bat, and
Wodehouse, Dat, Moore, with u
three-base hit, and Thurston scored.
In the second inning, Morton
Wodehouse and Whitney scored
third, Castle; fourth, Wodehouse,
Dat, Moore with two-base hit, and
Thurston; fifth, Wodehouse and
Dat; sixth, Thurston, Castle,
Parker and Morton.
For the Benedict, j. Winter made
the first run, in the fourth inning;
and Spencer, Chas. Wilder and
Lishman scored in the fifth. f.
Winter took Wallis place as pitcher
in the fifth inning, somewhat to the
embarrassment of the Honolulus be-
fore they caught on to his style;
but whatever advantage was gained
by this swapping OF horses in the
stream was lost in the new pitchers

A BOARD OF UNDERWRITERS.

The fire insurance agents of Homo
lulu held meeting this morning at
the office of Mr.. Jaeger. The forma-
ton of Board of Fire Underwriters
which has been mooted for some
six months, came to focus. Mr..
Schaefer was elected President, Mr..
G.. w. Macfarlane Vice-President,
and Mr.. c. o. Berger, Secretary and
Treasurer. A constitution and by
laws which had been carefully drawn
up were adopted. The object of the
Board is to promote harmony among
the insurance agents, and to estab-
fish just and equitable rates on all
property insured. A list of rates
will shortly be prepared and printed.

FROM The VOLCANO.

Messrs. Wilder & Co. have re-
ceived from Mr.. G. S. Wight, who
is Oh visit to the volcano, the fol-
lowing interesting letter:
Last night at about IL o'clock we
noticed large bright glow through
the rain, indicating the greatest
activity in the crater. We started
Immediately after breakfast to in
vestigate. On our way, as we near
ed the crater, we found that hot air
and sulphur fumes were issuing
from cracks previously cool, and upon
closer approach we were hardly
able to proceed, on account of the
great quantity of sulphur fumes
that came up from cracks under our
feet. Several large cracks opened
during the night, and Others that
were only an inch or two wide are
now nearly foot. Upon reaching
the point Of observation, where seats
have been made out of sheets of
lava, we found that new lake had
broken out: 1t is about 600 feet
long by 800 wide, and during our
stay it was continually in the great
est activity, boiling and surging like
huge caldron.
A little to the right a new blow
hole has broken out. This also is
very active, putting like the exhaust
from huge engine. At times it
shoots up solid streams of lava, a
foot in diameter and 80 feet high.
And again the whole top would
break off, and it will vomit forth
stream of white hot lava several feet
in diameter.
A large cave in has occurred on
this side of Halemaumau.
The guide went below and secured
some fine coin specimens for us. He
was very nearly caught by a stream
of lava that broke out to one side of
him. Although he was nearly
hundred yards away when it COM
menced to flow, it was so large and
ran so quickly, that for a few min
utes we were afraid that it would
surround him before he could get
away. The guide informed us that
he has seldom seen it so active,
even previous to the falling in of
Halemaumau.
Hot air and sulphur fumes are
coming in great and increasing
quantities from the cracks in the floor
of the old crater, to the northward
of Halemaumau, and there is every
indication of intense action there in
the near future.
There was an earthquake at IL
this morning.

THE SAILORS HOME.

The Sailors Home Society held a
meeting this forenoon. The action
hitherto taken by the trustees was
approved. Arrangements with the
Government are not yet perfected,
but it seems to be pretty fully
settled that the old building is to be
removed, the government taking
half the land now held by the So
ciety on Bethel street, while the
society will retain the other half, and
erect on it smaller but more SUBJ
stantial structure. - Aug. 25th.

A FACT WORTH RECORDING.

A gentleman from Honolulu who
was in San Francisco during the en-
campment of the Grand Army of the
Republic says that he did not see,
in public or private, one intoxicated
man wearing the badge of the
G.. a. r.. Considering that there
were about 5000 men in line, and
that the period of observation ex-
tended over several days, this is
remarkable fact worthy of mention.
The veterans of the war that assem-
bled in such numbers in the great
golden city of the West, gave evil
dence that they were gentlemen as
well as soldiers.

GEO. W. De LONG POST, C. A. r., OF
Ei0kGlUiU, IN SAN FRANCISCO.

Mr.. r. w. Lame returned by the
steamer Australia this morning, and
speaks i'll raptures of the treatment
accorded to him by the people at
the Coast, and not only to him, as
the representative of Geo. w. De
Long Post, but to all the G. A. r.
boys, their families, "cousins and
their aunts." Everything that will
ing hands and OVERLOOKING hearts
could do was done, and the goth
National Encampment of the G.. A.
r. will long be remembered as the
best thing on earth! The gavel sent
by the Post here to the commander
in-chief, was presented to him by
Department Commander w. r.
Smedburg in his happiest manner,
and accepted by Comrade Burdett
in few well chosen remarks, in
which he complimented Hawaii mel.
The Hawaiian flag which Comman-
der Lame took with him was carried
in the grand procession by Comrade
w. +. Smith, and was accorded the
post of honor with Lincoln Post, and
at a meeting subsequently was don
ated to Lincoln Post by Commander
Laine, from Geo. w. De Long Post,
and in accepting it the commander
paid high compliment to the Post
and the comrades of the 'advanced
picket guard of the G. A. r." and
it was accorded the post of honor in
the hall. This was the first time the
flag Of Hawaii was seen in the streets
of San Francisco, and was received
with cheers all along the line

people and the delight Of strangers

An exchange says: Swearing
is wholly unknown in Japan. The
worst word a japanese ever applies
to man whom he dislikes is
beast This is not likely to be
true very long after some of the
japanese laborers in Hawaii return
home. The japanese are swift
learners and as susceptible, there
fore, to vulgar and vicious influences
as any race equally smart. There
is probably as much coarse swearing

anywhere in the world.

THE BASEBALL MATCH.

There was pretty fair gathering
at the Makiki recreation grounds on
Saturday last, on the occasion of
the match between the Honolulu
and the Hawaii clubs. Only a two
thirds game was played, six innings
being more than enough for the
audience and healthful sufliciency
for the players. 1t was not expected
that the Hawaii would win, but few,
probably, expected to see it beaten
by 20 runs. Something less than a
million errors we're credited to the
losing club, and good many to the
winning one. The Honolulu team
was; Wodehouse, Dat, Whitney,
Moore, Thurston, Low, Castle, Parker
and G. Wilder. The Hawaii: Kaia,
Rosa, Fredenburg, Kahai, David,
Bright, Kaaukai, Desha and Morton.
For the Honolulu Wodehouse scored
in the lst, 9TH and 9th innings; Dat,
the same; Whitney, 1st, 3rd and
9th; Moore, End, 3rd, 9TH and 9th;
Thurston, the same Low, lst, 3rd,
9TH and 9th; Castle, lst, 9TH and
9th; Parker, 1st and 9Th; Wilder,
Bird and 9th, being put out between
bases LIST, 4th and 9th. For the
Hawaii kaia scored in the LIST; Jos.
Rosa, LIST and End, being left on
bases Bird and 9TH; Fredenburg, lst
and End; Bright, 3rd; Desha, End
and Bird. This was Rosa's first game
in the Hawaii's frs nine, and he
proved valuable accession, making
his base every time he took
the bat and running like a deer.

lowing is the score by innings

Seldom is it our lot to record 50 sad an
event as the death of little FORREST WELSH,
who died al White Sulpher Springs, w. Va,
September Goth, 1886, aged 3years, 3 months
and II days.
His mother had taken him and his little
sister on visit to her parents, thinking the
change would prove beneficial, but the dread
fever had too deep hold to be batfied by
human power. On Saturday last his spirit
lett its earthly abode for heavenly one.
The cloud which has gathered so darkly
over one home, casts its shadow over many.
Dear Forests stay among us has been very
brief, but his little life was so bright, so
sunny, SO full of promise that he crept into
all our hearts with soft, subduing power,
and we sorrow both for the bereaved parents
and ourselves For him we cannot sorrow,
our loss is his eternal gain. Dear parents
your training was for both worlds, your
darling boy awaits your coming. A few
more years Of trials and sorrow, yet of use
fulness and consequent happiness, and you
will meet Forrest again, and learn more fully
then that God hath in his memorable love
and His revealed will done all things well.
Weep not then as those who have no hope,
your faith and ours can sing, even through
tears that comet
30 thou who art gone from thy place,
| know thou art safe, thou art His,
long for sight of thy face,
And yet il is well as it is;
The life that was blessing to me

The death that was blessing thee
| can not, dare not regret
