ASSAULT AND BATTERY
Wan Nee, Chong Hook and Yong San,
on remand were charged that they did
unlawfully assault and beat one An Fat
on the 10Th instant. Plea not guilty.
Messrs Kinney & Peterson and W. R.
Castle for defendants. The evidence of
complainant was to the effect that about
6 o'clock in the evening Of that day he,
in company with two friends, was pro-
ceeding towards the laundry, and on
turning the corner of the building they
met the defendants. Yong San asked
him if he had given information to the
police about his friends smoking opium,
which complainant denied. Yong San
continued that he had heard so, and the
latter's two companions exclaimed,
eyes, that is the man; beat him. "
Whereupon Wan Nee seized his left arm
Chong Hook got hold of him by the hair,
whilst Yong San beat him and tore his
coat, causing complainant to loose his
hat in the melee Upon his calling out,
his three assailants ran away, but no
police appeared on the scene. He was
accompanied by two friends who advised
the men to desist, but did not otherwise
interfere. He had known defendants a
long time, and regarded them as his
friends. They were Haka men Com
plainalt had been employed as a waiter
at the hotel, but was at the time out OF
work. He had received several bruises
on his back and one on his forehead.
Corroborative evidence was given by
by Hoon Man and All You
For the defense, the prisoner sought to
establish an abb, and produced wit
nesses to substantiate their statements.
All Fee, who lived at the wash house, in
the neighborhood o. which the assault
is alleged to have been committed, stated
he was there at the time, but heard no
disturbance. Had there been any he
must have heard it.
The defendants were remanded for
judgment until the 25th instant.

THE LEGISLATURE.

The Legislative Assembly yesterday
made progress with the file of bills on
the secretary's table There is sill
big heap of unfinished business, and
whether it viii be got through satiscac-
torily is an open question That a good
many of the bills introduced during the
session will not become law IS certain,
but they, nevertheless, cucumber tne fi-e
and delay necessary legislation. a COM
mittee OF selection might be uae.ully
employed upon the bills, but as this
would be rather invidious task, it will
not be imposed upon any member OF the
Legislature.
The election laws, or rather bills in
tended to amend them, occupied the
greater part OF the time devoted to public
business. Our report contains a concise
summary of what took place in the
House in relation thereto. The ques-
tons involved are of considerable il
terest to the country at LARGE, and should
be carefully studied; but it was quite
evident that the majority did not share
the anxiety of Mr.. Thu -ston and Gentle
men on his side r 2arding the future @
this Kingdom Unless radical changes
were made in the Law governing cleo
tons

THE POLICE FORCE.

1--WE agree with our evening contem-
fporary that increased police protection
is needed. One cannot help remarking,
however, upon the comparative absence
of serious crime, as a fact in our social
organization, which accounts in large
measure for the security heretofore en-
Ioyed by this community, although pro-
vided with an insufficient police force.
But we cannot always hope for a con-
tinuance of existing conditions. The
native Hawaiian people are as devoid of
criminal instincts as any race in the
world, but constant association with
men of other races is calculated to work
a change in time. The Chinese are a
much more dangerous element, and re-
quire very much closer attention.
Among them are undoubtedly many
highly respectable men, but large num-
Der of them cannot be so cIassed. Here
tofore they have preyed chiefly upon
their fellow-countrymen, but their Grim
inal proclivities may lead them to be-
come aggressive in other directions, and
to guard against such a contingency
mainly additional police protection is
required. We do not in these remarks
exclude Portuguese, but they are very
different class of people, and what
ever may be their offenses against
property, they are of a petty charac-
ter and do not amount to any very
serious affair even in the aggregate.
At least the Court records do not show it
ifthey do, and that is the only test that
can be applied with safety. Indeed, we
think that az the Portuguese begin to ac-
quire property, and throw off the poverty
of their early surroundings in this coun-
try, they will be found to be as great
sticklers for Common honesty in the
conventional sense, as their neighbors Of
any other nationality.
But the fact remains that the city pop
ulation is increasing, and the building
area is widening, without proportion
ate increase in the police force. There
is really no police protection in the
suburbs, and the safety of life and prop
erty is dependent upon the law-abiding
character of the population as whole.
This state of things should not-f5e al
lowed to continue. The protective force
should be increased, and its efficiency
maintained, in the general interests of
the public. And here it is proper to
remark upon the improved tone and
activity o. the force since it passed unde-
the control of Marshal Kaulakou This
is very noticeable feature in his adj
ministration, and the community at
large is to be congratulated upon it.
But the Marshal cannot do impossible
things, and unless the police force be in
creased and mounted patrol added, his
work must be limited to the present area
of active police supervision This Is a
point which the Legislature should con-
slider when the Appropriation bill comes |
up for third reading. 1t affects the we'll |
being and good government of this city, /
and should not be lost sight of in the |
general legislative scramble which nearly /
always marks the closing days OF a ses-
sion

Attempted IncendIarIsm at wa.luA.

II 10 u.
What appears to have been most de-
hberate attempt to destroy the skating
rink at Waikiki, Maui, is reported to
have been made at a late hour Friday
night, but happily frustrated. The
flames attracted the attention of an old
woman and a young half-white boy, who
with praiseworthy promptitude and not a
little courage, set to work to extinguish
the fire before it got firm hold of the
building. In this they were successful,
as the extent of the. damage was but
slight, being confined to some OF the
rafters. An empty kerosene tin found
in close proximity to the scene of the
confagration furnishes strong presump-
tive evidence that it was used for the pur-
pose of saturating the roof with oil. No
motive can be assigned for the dastardly
act, if such it be. The building is the
property of an elderly woman named
Kamaka, who states that she is quite
unable to fathom the mystery.

arranged accordingly. One day Mtesa
played me nice trick. I had been to the
palace to take him a lotion, and had warned
him particularly not to drink it. After
had left he sent a page after me with gourd
of mwengi, asking me to taste it, and say if
he might have some. I did so, and said
eyes" It being a very hot afternoon, my
friend drank the remainder; but it soon be-
came evident that the king had doctored the
wine, for my friend became violently sick.
It turned out afterward that Mtesa wished
to see what effect the lotion would have up
on me.
An impressive map has been issued by the
Church Temperance society of New York.
It is map of the First ward, and it shows
that in this ward, covering about one hun
dred and fifty acres, and having present
population of some 10000, there are 335 sa-
looms. The black marks which indicate them
on the map are SO thick that the sale of drink
might at first be thought almost the sole
business of the ward. There are several
blocks in which every other house on both
sides of the street seems to be saloon. On
a single block twenty-six of these establish
ments can be counted. They are, as was to
be expected, especially thick on the water
front, where sailors and stevedores and long
shoremen congregate and cherish a chronic
thirst. There is one saloon to every 5S or 50
people in the ward. There is one school to
every {, 900 people in the same ward. There
is one church for the entire population of
10000. What makes this the more interest
ing and significant is that the First ward of
New York is that part of the city in which
all the European immigration first touches
American soil, and through which the said
immigration percolates, or is filtered, before
reaching the rest of the country.

COMMUNICATIONS.



To the Editor of the JOURNAL AND COURIER:
1t is reported that at the recent Congrega-
tional conference held at Hartford, it was
ordered that the committee on Fast day be-
continued and directed to report on the ex-
pediency of discontinuing the observance of
that,day. If the object of the general con-
ference in thus calling in question histor-
ic and time honored custom is to conciliate
an element among our citizens who claim
that the commonwealth should not recog-
nize any obligation to the Supreme Being
the writer would recommend the committee
for further light to consult with the Ameri-
can Secular union now in session in New
York city at Chickering Hall of
which Col. Robert G. Ingersoll is
president. This organization has in view the
complete secularization of our political sys-
tenn and the doing away of all forms of
Christian morality, and we respectfully COM
mend to the consideration of the Commit
tee on Fast day." paragraph of their plat
form, which reads as follows: "We demand
that the appointment by the President or by
the Governors of the various States of all re-
Ggieus festivals and fasts shall wholly cease"
1t is to be regretted that it did not occur to
the general conference before their dissolu-
ton to send words of greeting to the Ameri
can Secular union and arrange for a confer
ence in reference to this topic.

One of PIutarch's Men.

r. j. Burdett IN the Brooklyn Eagle.
Bennie Gibbs is one of the daring, ven
tursome boys in my memory of school days.
His pa was director and consequently Ben
ME defied the teachers in the Globe school to
an extent that made him heroic in our eyes.
It was always understood that Bennie was to
test every new teacher to see how much
'ssass" he would take before he broke out
and left the reservation.
One time old Mr.. Grayson was sick and a
substitute took the school for few weeks.
The substitute was a mild looking man OF
middle age, somewhat bald, with thin
neck. sandy complexion, meek voice and
paddock whiskers. Not boy of us was
afraid of such looking man as that: still
Bennie Gibbs as usual took the field for q
reconnaissance the first morning. First he
dropped a book on the floor. Then he
dropped his slate. Then he pushed the big
dictionary off the table. Then he whis-
pered. Then he left his seat without per-
mission. Then he slammed the door like
an earthquake when he went into the reci-
tation room. Then he whistled once.
Then he mewed softly like cat. Then he
whined like dog. Then he said 'tMaamF'
very loudly and peruly when the new teach
er spoke to him very mildly, and we all
laughed ourselves tired. Then Bennie
coughed like an old man.
Then it was time for recess and the new
teecher looked at his watch and told US to
put away our books, and then he tiptoed
meekly down the aisle to Bennie Gibbs
seat. He took Bennie by both shoulders
and churned him up and down for while,
and then he shook him until Bonnie's hair
began to fly out, and then he bent over
the shrinking lad and wore out an ebony
ruler on him Then he said in a meek, tim
id way, 1.-The school may have recess, }" and
touched the bell for us to go out. We walked
out like boys walking to their own exeeu-
tions.
When Bennie Gibbs could command his
feelings he said: 'sBoys, there's one point
beyond which it amt safe to go with this
fellow, but he's 30 sneakin' mean about it
you can't tell whether it's droppin' the gram
mar or sayin' sma'am,' but it's somewhere
along in that list" That night Mr.. Gibbs
went to see the new teacher about it, and
that meek man beat him with chair leg
until he had to be put to bed. You never
saw such man. He wasn't afraid of any
body. One day he put the president of the
Board of Education out of the school room
because he criticised the way the new man
taught long division.
This teacher, whose name was Moses II.
Meeker. went into the Union army soon after
the war broke out, and when one of our old
bows, George Slocum, Missouri boy, who
had gone into the rebel army and was serv-
ing under Price, heard that Meeker was in
Grierson's cavalry, he deserted and came
North and shot off three fingers of his right
hand to avoid the draft, He said as soon

Dust.
[From Harper's Bazar.I

At all times unwholesome, when damp
ness gets hold of this dust it ferments, de-
and nee and
on foggy mornings, on dewy nighta, and
at that season of the year when the damp
ness seems to penetrate the house, and 1t
is not yet time to light the fires that might
dry it out or hinder it.
The rooms of dwelling house then can
not be kept too thoroughly well swept and
busted off, in order that the least possible
deposit of dust may be left in them.
Many housewives think that the less the
dust is stirred in sweeping the better the
work is done, and tea leaves and wet grass
and moistened meal are thrown about the
floor in order to gather the dust and pre-
vent it from rising. But people giving the
matter philosophical attention have come to
the conclusion that precisely the opposite
course is the fit and proper one; that good
stirring up and then good blowing out is
what the dust needs, and that with wind
blowing unobstructedly through the room as
thoroughly as wind can be made to blow.
