tion the energy with which this journal is edit
ed; and the present issue presents more news and
in better shape than ever. The leading article is
upon tho New Portuguese Colonies IN Africa.
Portugal proposes to the whole of the terri
tory lying between her Eastern and Western pos
sessions which will then stretch from the Indian
Ocean TO the Atlantic. That she is earnest in her
colonial schemes is shevn by the fact that she is
helping private colonization schemes. One CON-
pany has been granted 10000 hectares Of land,
free for seven years, another 5000 hectares and
yet another 1000 hectares. The latter is estab-
lished for the purposes of general commerce but
especially with view to the manufacture of al
cahol. Il has a capital of $500. new feature

GWEcE is making "a greater STIR in Eu-
ropean politics than brrpositun warrants.
But IL is often a wretched little country
like Greece which causes trouble. Seryia
and Bulgaria came within an ace OF pre-
cipitatlng European war and. that trouble
being over. Greece must needs rush in and
try TO keep the Eastern pot boiling.
What. really has Greece TO complain OF ?
She is independent and her kinglets have
had the support Of the great powers since
1852. when Otto Of Bavaria ascended the
throne The Greeks themsclyc are de
generate race, from whom some Of the
greatest scoundrels in Europe and the
United States have their lineal descent.
II seems as If all the bad qualities OF
Ulysses and none OF his good ones had.
during the course Of centuries, been grad
ually concentrated among the degenerate
Greeks a short time ago. we met gen
Deuau who had spent some timc in Athens.
He described the country as consisting OF
two Glasses the "ins" and the outs. ~
The outs were always higands: when
their party came into power they became
government officials. the former officials
becoming in their turn brigands The
sketch may have been somewhat sweeping,
but il had the merit Of terseness Ii was
a sketch by a master hand
il is really sad TO think that the vanity
Of little twopenny halfpenny State, such
as Greece Is, should have the power to en-
danger the interests Of such great nations
as Germany. Russia and England. In
trigue has assurcdly been going on-and
If intrigue has been at work. we may fairly
infer that Russia is at the bottom of it. II
is to be hoped that by next mail we shall
hear that Greece has been summarily
squelchcd by the Powers.

TIM British Parliament was opened by
the Queen in person on Jan. 2lst. The
telegraphic summary of the speech from
the Throne Is given elsewhere in this issue
OF the GAZETTE.
The day was dreary winter day, the
streets covered with snow and slush, and
the route from Buckingham Palace to the
Houses Of Parliament had to be covered
with gravel to keep the horses on their
feet.
Notwithstanding the inclemency of the
weather, and the fact that Her Majesty
appeared to be suffering from cold, the
Queen rode IN an open carriage which was
drawn by eight horses, and escorted by
the Household Cavalry.
The Queen was received with hearty
cheers from the people throughout the en-
tire route Owing to the darkness of the
day the House of Lords was lighted by
gas, which, at all events had the advan
tage of showing more brilliantly the uni
forms and decorations of the gentlemen,
and the Jewels of the ladies.
The speech" touched great variety of
subjects, but we have them here in so alb
breviated form that IT Is almost impossi-
ble to further condense them.
The most important clause is that re
ferTing to Ireland, in which the Queen
says: Il have seen with deep sorrow a
renewal, since i last addressed you, of the
attempt to excite the people of Ireland to
hostility against the Legislative union be
tween that country and Great Britain. l
am resolutely opposed to any disturbance
of that fundamental law. and in resisting
it | am convinced that shall be supported
by my Parliament and my people" There
follows some remarks on the continuance
of organized intimidation which it Is
stated, still exists, and an intention to pro
tect Irish subjects in the exercise of their
legal rights, and in the enjoyment of indi-
yidual liberty" These sentences have
been construed as intimating a coercive
rule dictated from Westminster, though it
is obvious that no coercion by the Imperial
Parliament can be SO oppressive or so dis
astrous as that now in force at the hands
of private, irresponsible, self constituted
leagues"
However, amendments We're put, and,
by the joint influence of Liberal, Radical,
and Parnell's parties carried against the
Government, which latter has promptly
declared an intention to resign Office
Home Rule has not yet been defined
at least Mr.. Gladstone said so, not many
months ago. "Landlordism" is to be abol
ished, at least so Mr.. Davitt says, aphrase
which if it means anything, means that
property in real estate is to cease, though
Mr.. Parnell's estate and Mr.. Biggar's pork
shop may be exempted by grateful
country.
We have to await further developments
before an opinion can be pronounced on
the possible Outcome of these complica-
tions
With regard to foreign affairs, the Queen
announces that .the differences with Rus
sia regarding the Afghanistan boundary
have been satisfactorily adjusted" that

Tn fire at the residence of the Hon. II.
A. Midemann, calls attention To what has
been often noticed in our columns, VIZ;
the necessity Of having an engine on the
Plains. There are now a number Of houses
and a large amount Of valuable property
ont Waikiki way. and however smart and
active our firemen may be. il Is impossible
for them TO reach the scene of disaster be
fore the flames haye got such hold that no
more good can he done. even If they do
not find merely heap Of smouldering
ruins on their arrival
It is absolutely necessary that this ques-
ton should be faced Insurance agents
should insist that something practical be
done We have had now a number Of
warnings and we should pay heed to them.
There is. of course. little danger of a gen
eral' confagration for the houses are, as a
rule. wide apart But isolated property
stands very little chance Of being saved If
once it gets on fire and the fire has head
way. on.
Another suggestion has been made. Let
the fire companies in Honolulu have few
good teams Of horses at their command.
These would very quickly whirl out the
engines to any fire a couple of miles off
To have a fire engine on the spot is the
proper thing, FOR more can be done by
promptitude than can be done by hard
work when once the fire has got com
mand
The question might very well be brought
before the Legislature and a proper ap-
preparation made for the protection of
property in the district under review. We
believe that an appropriation for this pur
pose would find favor with both parties.
and that all would wish to favor a measure
for the public good If something Is not
done, we shall have one of these days a
tragedy which will send thrill of horror
through the community. 1t is a most IN
pleasant thing to lose property which has
been accumulated with the care of years:

OF the humours Of the election day a
few words may be SAID:
The crowd in front of the Government
buildings, though excited. were orderly
and good tempered. Some few were drunk
but these were more oratorical than pug
nacious But an otninous sight to the
lovers of Constitutional Government, was
the large number of military uniforms,
mixed up apparently at hap-hazard with
the civilian crowd, but grouping them
selves together now and then as ifto favor
or to hinder access to friend or foe.
Again, there were both commissioned and
non commissioned officers nearing their side

ted at elections in free countries.

The decision OF the voters of Honolulu
is certainly Il peculiar one. They have
rejected in the person OF Mr.. Warehouse
an Hawaiian born. a life long friend of
the Hawaiian people. and his purse has al
ways been open to help in every good
work He has been particularly interested
in Kaumakapili Church, and he has spent
large sums in subscriptions to it, besides
giving other practical aid He has more
over, done active work in visiting native
houses, and he certainly seems beloved by
a large section OF the Hawaiian people
And yet this sturdy worker for Hawaiian
interests, tins Hawaiian born citizen is
rejected and at the top of the poll appears
one who is not Hawaiian born: who has
taken no active part in any work for the
amelioration Of the native race. who is
only place holder, and takes his seat in
the House, not to pass laws for the nation
at large. but to support a narrow ring In
carrying ont their schemes Of self-aggrand-
isement.
This shows how venal and corrupt the
city voter has become PdHen ct ejrocnoes,
food and amusement gratis, are what he
seeks. The days when a candidate was
elected on his merits are passed. The aver
age Honolulu voter asks himself: WHAT
can l get for my voter The equivalent
may not be money, but II lies in promises
Of higher pay, of petty Office and as effectu-
ally coTupts as money bribes would do.
Add to this a copious use of liquor and it
is not difficult to account for the result
A corrupt governments worst legacy to
a people is that it corrupts a large section
OF the population. How the Hawaiian has
been blinded and misled was shown by
the Honolulu elections The gold was
rejected and the dross taken. 1t may as
well be noted that voters are already ask
ing Mr. Hayselden about his election
promises.
We have contrasted Mr. Hayselden and
Mr. Waterhouse because they came in con-
trast on the polls, each heading his ticket.
II is needless to contrast Mr.. Carter, with
his keen brain, his business ability and his
experience with such men as Keau, Lii
lalani and Baker When capital chooses
such men as these aud rejects Joe Carter,
IT is very plain that the vote is mercenary
and ycual. Il is not intelligent
