SHADES OF FALSTAFF.

EDITOR BULLETIN The echoes
of Nuuanu Avenue resounded last
night with the martial sound of
drums. The residents rushed out
of their homes wondering what the
warlike tumtum meant. Was it
coup d'tat or"was it to convince
citizens: ""Move if you dare-we
are here to intimidate you." But
Shades of Falstaff, Bardoph,. Nym
and Ancient Pistol! What a motley
crowd marched past, clad in every
conceivable garment, from dirty
undershirt to a greasy coat out at
elbows, and bearing rifles, swords
and other dangerous toys. One
small warrior flourished a mighty
sabre and might have said with the
valiant Nym: 81 dare not fight but
| will wink and hold out mine iron
n it will toast cheese"
The only words of command heard
were: "shut up" "go ahead" and
few other orders which appear
neither in Upton's tactics nor any
other drill manual known-but then
of course, our valiant Hawaiian
Army is far ahead of all othe
armies, past, present, or future
and has a choice repertoire of it,
own. Had Dorothy seen thes'
specimens she would have exclaimed
as she did to Pistol. ''Lack-lineI
mates, away you mouldy rogues
away! SPoKEsHAvE.

I'll BIT"

EDITOR BULLETIN:-Although the
expression of ''hi bit" has been
heard by many persons but few of
them know how the words originated.
''Hi bit" is generally used by the
natives when they are swimming
after a passenger vessel, or when
bathing off a pier, and want the
foreigner to throw piece of coin
for them TO dive after. Some per-
sons suppose the expression is from
HE, meaning away, and bit, an
American tenn for l29 cents, while
other persons believe that "hi bit"
is modern Hawaiin. "Hi bit" might
have been carried into the next
seven generations, and it might have
held an important position in Ha-
waiian literature, without anybody
knowing how the expression origin
ated had not this opportunity been
taken to explain. When Mr.. Kraft,
Jr. was here he frequently went
bathing at the immigrant landing,
Kakaako, and on one occasion he
threw 10 cents for some native boys
to dive after. When the dusky
ducks came to the surface, Mr..
Kraft pointed to the one who got the
coin, and said, she beat" hence the
origin of "hi bit"

REGISTRAR OF CoNYEYAnCES.

No official announcement has yet
been made of the appointment of
Hon. j. kaae TO the Office of Regis
trar of Conveyances, rendered va
cant by the death of the late lament
ed Thomas Brown, although there is
good reason for believing the vacancy
has been filled as rumored. We
sorry for it. That is, sorry that the
honorable and responsible offices of
Government should be occupied by
unsuitable and unqualified men.
Personally and socially, the gentle
man believed to be appointed may
be worthy of the greatest respect,
but as Registrar of Conveyances he
is strongly objected to on the ground
of unfitness. 1t is another case of
trying to fill q square hole with
round peg, or of placing a lands
man in charge of ship, or sailor
to run a locomotive. a good farmer
would likely make a poor hand at
sailing ship, and the sea captain
almost invariably gets a farm into
squalls or calms whenhe attempts to
navigate it. Now, there is no reason
able ground of expectation that Mr..
Kaae will do any better in his new
position. He may have been good
policeman or legislator, although of
the latter there is no proof, but he
has neither the education, the train
ing nor the brains for so important
an office as the one he is said to
have been pitchforked into. Our
Government make sad mistake in
placing unfit and incompetent men
in office, which mistake will be
more apparent as the consequent
muddle increases, and increase it
will, unless retreat be sounded,
until the whole business tumbles to
pieces.

NO DOUBT ABOUT 1T.

This mornings Adcertiscr in re-
ferring to "the change from Marshal
to Minister, and from Minister to
Marshall again, of the present in
cumbent of the latter position, draws
the following very pointed conclu-
sion, eff the law can be dispensed
with in respect of the appointment
of the Marshal, it can also be dis
pensed with in the matter of laws
which the Office of Marshal has been
created to enforce. In brief, there
appears to be q decided tendency to
ignore the law on the part of the
Executive in regard to appointments.
This is a dangerous experiment. :"
There is no doubt about it; either
in the matter of there being q ten
dency to ignore the law in regard to
appointments, or the fact of the ex-
pertinent being a dangerous one. In
fact, close and candid observers
hazard the opinion that not merely
in the matter of appointments is
there tendency to ignore the law,
but that similar tendency is appar'
ent in other matters when more con-
venient than strict adherence to lega
enactment. We hardly know whether
to attribute this state of things tc
perverseness or ignorance. Perhaps
it would be fair to make a division
crediting about one half to each. II
may be that this is new method o1
maintaining "the dignity of the
throne and the best welfare of tho
people," according to the mellifluou;
profession with which the new
ministry was heralded into th,
House. The idea is unique, but tht
experiment is so fraught with danger
that neither the "dignity of tn,
throne" nor ''the best welfare of thu
people" is invulnerable to its men
ace.

DEAR FISH.

Fish is usually abundant in Ha-
waiian waters throughout the year,
and the weather is seldom of a
nature to prevent their being hauled
in sufficient quantities to satisfy
demands. Notwithstanding these
facts, fish is rarely cheap in our
market, is generally dear, and some
times very dear. Just fancy twenty
five cents being asked for two small
fish, both of which are scarcely
enough to make meal for twelve

The society would have but little to

where the ngly places are, and consult
about the best way to turn an ugly into

useful, suggestive and enthusiastic in
these societies. BY consulting with aud

TO ProhIbitionists.

Immediately after tho local option cleo
zion IN Lincoln county II was definitely
ascertsincd 6y the Executive Committee
of the Central Prohibition Club, that not
one of the six saloons in the county had
q legal existence, and could be closed by
injunction any day the Prohibitionists
might elect. This course would have
been pursued, but after considering the
subject iT was decided at an informal
meeting Of the committee that inasnuch
censes in good faith and paid the requir-
ell fee for the same, that the spirit of the
local option law should he adhered TO
andthe licenses allowed to run
their allotted time, though issued H.
legally. This conclusion was arrived at
with full knowledge of the evils that
would be- entailed upon the community
by the saloons for the months they were
to remain, and the thousands ofdollars that
would be diverted into their tills from the
legitimate channels of trade to debauch
the manhood of our county and bring
privaton and misery to many homes; but
it was done nevertheless AS an act of good
faith toward u class of men whose bust
ness the Prohibitionists had opposed. 1t
was assumed, however, as a recognition
of this leniency, il for no other reason,
that all saloon men would strictly observe
the provisions of the old law under which
their bogus licenses were issued, and that
any failure Oh their part to do this would
he signal for the closure of the saloons
of all offenders.
] have reason to believe some of the
saloon men of Brookhaven are not com
plying with the provisions of the statute
under winch they obtained their licenses,
aud have therefore forfeited further con-
besides subjecting themselves
to the penalties of the violated law.
This has caused me TO issue this address.
CHAPTER 80 of the Code provides that it
shall be unlawful to sell intOXicants to
drunken person, to u minor or Indian, or
on the Sabbath, and that saloons shall be
kept orderly. therefore request all Prohi- |
bitlonists and good citizens, whether they
are Prohibtionists or not, who havo ac-
curate knowledge of the violation of the !
law in any one OF these particulars, to re- /,
port the same to me, and l will take
prompt steps to have the saloon closed
and its keeper held TO answer to a crimi-
nal proceeding in the Circuit Court, be-
sides bringing suit OH his bond for 81, 900.
