a runaway occurred on Nuuanu
street yesterday afternoon, about half
past four O'clock, above the second
bridge. The vehicle contained two
native woman and a Chinese driver,
who were going up the valley. The
horse got good start, having been
frightened at basket of clothes left by
the road side, and would have more
than likely made a successful smashup
of it, had it not been for the uphill
work this side of the grave yard, which
beat the horse worse than a Govern
ment election could have done! When
last seen the Chinese driver was out
pushing the horse and hack up the hill.
Two gentlemen slightly under the
influence of "twist-fooP suddenly found
themselves in the midst of friendly
alteration last night near the Hotel,
while the concert was going on. After a
few moments animated discussion as to
their respective views of the matter
they came to blows, but we're speedily
separated by a successful Government
candidate, who yelled in their unwill-
ing ears: "Don't you blasted Opposi-
tionists know the elections overp"
They both thought they did, but when
the the three went into the hotel to
irrgate the two "Oppositionists" raised
the Government flag and drank gun
straight. When they we're fully in the
light it was discovered that they both
held Government offices.
They say; That the S. S. City of
Peking will peek in Thursday or Friday
next with about 900 Japanese for this
port; that the Government organ cried
fraud" in order to anticipate the facts
which it knew the residents of the
other Islands would soon Justly prefer
against the gin-party; that the Iwalani
will visit the wreck of the Planter be-
fore she returns from Nilhau; that the
firecracker season is over until the 4th
of America; that the skating rink craze
is abating in Honolulu; that the
weather is the only warm thing in town
since the election; that the next Legis-
lature ought to pass usury bill fixing
the scent. per cent" of our private
pawnbrokers; that the colonization
scheme and the question of new Ha-
waiian industries ought to be "boomed"
for while to work off the late effects
of Government gin; that Roth's new
sign is as stylish as the latest fashions;
that the natives will feel lonesome I'M
til another holiday comes; that there
will be several mails for San Francisco
during the week; that the political
Mohlcans will encamp around the Gov
eminent building for the next two years.
that the only harmonious thing at
tached to the Government is the Royal
Hawaiian Band; that the speeches of
some of the late candidates will not
tally with their future actions; that the
hope of the temperance workers on
these Islands lies in a good example
set by the Government and King; that
the foreign citizen who does not be-
come voter has no right to complain
at the result of an election; that the
fire department ought to have more
support from the Government; that the
world turns from the West to the East
that the King lately expressed an "opin-
ion what is an opinion" in regard to
his false Ministry; that the bulk of the
natives would applaud if the King
made an action out of his opinion;
and that an "opinion what is an opin-
ion" ought to be acted upon at once
