The rubbish that gets into the bills pre-
scented to the House is simply appalling.
Take Section four of san Act for lighting
the city of Honolulu and its suburbs with
arc and incandescent electric light"
The section reads as follows. The italics
are ours:
Section T. The said D. P. Smith, his associates
and assigns shall upon the completion of each cir
cult of electric lines where danger is to be appre
hended i'll the city of Honolulu post up in conspc-
uous places along the line printed or painted on
card board or tin in plain letters the words
'Kapu. Pilikia Mdoh,'' in the Hawaiian language;
and "Keep away. Danger" in English, all wires,
ductive nature whereby life and public safety may
be endangered, shall be protected and rendered
homeless. Where case of injury or death occurs
and has been caused by either palpape careless
ness neglect bad management or in any way di-
rectly attributed to mp'OdRctUeneSS of d. Z. a1iih
viction suffer the penalty governing such cases IN
the Courts of this Kingdom.
By the way this bill, which is introduced
by Rep. Kaulukou, asks modestly for a
franchise for fifteen years. Seeing the
condition of electric lighting at present,
and the rapid improvements that are being
constantly made, we would be very foolish
to tie ourselves for fifteen years to method
of lighting which may be obsolete in twelve
months For the fifty lights which the
city is to have, the sum of $500 each per
annum is asked Making cost of light
ing for the biennial period of $4,000. At
this rate Honolulu cannot afford the lux
ury of an electric light.

The prices paid and the method of pro-
curing supplies by large departments of
the Government, the Board of Health to
wit is, in this Kingdom especially, sub
iect of the gravest Importance
The post of Secretary of the Board of
Health, non existent few years. ago, was
called into existence, as was that twin Sec
rotary of the Board of immigration for
the purpose of providing relatives and
friends of the Minister with fat salaries
and soft places.
He of the Board of Health expends per-
haps from two to three hundred thousand
dollars of public money in one biennial
period. 1t is not unbecoming to enquire
for an account of his stewardship. twas
stated in their own report that the Board
spent on few little girls sum of about
$1,000 per head, per annum.
In the instance at east, twenty
per cent of the public money has been
wasted-or worse-for money is never alb
solutely wasted, that which is thrown away
by one man is picked up by another.
Twenty per cent on the expenditure of
the Board of Health amounts to very
large sum, and it would be becoming in
public officials who pretend to resent the
imputations of commission taking, to make
known their system of purchase and pay
ment.

public advertisement calling for tenders
for certain supplies provisions, ETC., for

Settlement at Molokai, we have been fur
nished with statement by the Secretary
of the Board of Health, too late for this
issue, which shows that there should have
been no ground for complaint as against
the quality furnished The complaint
there made now rests upon the probable
damages received in transhipment and the
injury received through immersion in the

The defeat of the Gladstone party is
assured. The latest accounts gave the
conservatives a majority of two over all
parties, but the liberal unionists will act
with the conservatives upon all broad
questions, and will follow Lord Harting-
ton, who may probably have a seat in the
Cabinet. This would give working ma
jority of about one hundred and thirty one,
and it would take many OBJECTIONS and
gross mismanagementt to lose that for some
time
The mistake Gladstone made was to
have applied to the country on the first
dissolution upon questions of internal re-
form. Then when the session opened to
have thrown those questions aside, and
made the Irish question, which had not
been made an issue at the election, the
great party measure. The agricultural
The Hawaiian gazette., 1886-07-27

laborer felt he had been deceived, and
moreover, during the session had received
some good political instruction. This
cooled his ardor for Gladstone, with the
result we now see. The conservatives have
come in upon the Irish question, and will
have to face it at once. We fully believe
that they will put forward scheme which,
while maintaining the integrity of the en-
pire will be satisfactory to the bulk of the
Irish people, Roman Catholic as we'll as
Protestant. 1t will be most interesting to
see what Lord Salisbury can do, where Mr..
Gladstone has failed Lord Salisbury is

THE SHIP-WORM.
Enormous Losses Entailed by tho De-
structive Work of the Tercdo.

Enormous Losses Entailed by tho De-
structive Work Of the Tercdo.
There are several species of what are
popularity called ship-worms, which
are ordinarily included under the name
of teredo. Although they have worm
like appearance, they are not worms,
but shell-bearing mollusks as much as
the common long-necked clam of
the Atlantic coast of the United States.
The teredO is not particular as to the
kind of timber into which it bores, but
always goes with the grain, unless it
nail or very hard knot. 1t is not be-
lievcd that the wood it perforates fur
nishes any nutrimcnt to tac animal,
but that its sustenancc is derived en-
tirely from the water which is con-
stantly passing through its body.
Upon the water fronts of San Fran
cisco, I have known says writer]
piles of Oregon pine and tir, over foot
in diameter, rendered worthless in
eighteen months, and have heard of
even more rapid destruction of wharf
pliCS luC hdl UOI Va IlC Slty. AL thO
case which came under my notice as
above, the wood of the pile had not
lost its original freshness when it had
to be removed from the wharf, and
new one put in its place.
One case occurred of the destruction
of the supports of a small pair of piles
in six weeks. The money loss entailed
by these little mollusks upon private
parties and business corporations en-
gagged in commercial marine enter
prises, and on the naval equipment
and appurtenances, is enormous. and
has led to number of experiments by
governments and inventors, for the
protection of woodwork used in
ma. inc structures; but from the result
of experiments. it is believed that the
constitution of the ship-worm is poison
proof.
The palmetto tree of the Southern
States is said to be never bored by the
ship-worm, and some Australian woods
have similar immunity.-Youth's Com
