At a reunion of 400 Germans,

were adopted protesting against the
brutal, shameful policy of expelling the
Poles. The German colonies at Gen

ment upon at another time. The

THE Adsvy1isey is still consuming
space to prove that going into debt is a
sign of national prosperity. In the
same illogical manner it might be as
serted that leprosy is not dangerous be-
cause the disease does not develop for
years after it is contracted. In either
case the risk is SO great that sensible
men and we'll governed nations avoid
taking chances. For the sake of argu-
ment it might be well enough to admit
the present transient prosperity of the
Australian Colonial Governments un
der immense debt-burdens, but We
again take occasion to deny that any
analogy exists between the debt OF the
Colonies and the financial conditions o.
Hawaii. We mention this again be
cause these editorials on progressive
borrowing" are being written with ar
object which, We are assured, will CROP
out during the next Legislature.

the night, while the shocks of earth
quake continued, the ground was rent
apart in many places, one large OPEN
ing being made on the road to Kllauea
Xxi Extinct Kilauea). March 9TH, 1886,
8. 80 p. NJ, there was no light and no fire
to be seen in the crater expecting two
small openings giving the appearance
of lanterns in the distance.
Several other tourists we're interview
ed whose statements coroborate the
above facts The rumor that Hale
maumau had not collapsed is doubtless
without foundation, as more reliable
witnesses testify otherwise.
The steamer W. G.. HaH which ar
rived in Honolulu from Hawaii on the
afternoon Of March 10th confirms the
above facts concerning the Volcano,
and further reports that a great fissure
has been found five miles from the era
ter in the direction of Kapapala. Peo-
pie in the vicinity of the Volcano de-
clare that evidences of lava movement
are still noticeable. Volcanic odors are
said to be escaping from this great fis-
sure which is from 10 to go feet in
width. Residents of Hawaii who have
been interviewed since the arrival OF
the Hall doubt the accuracy of the
statement that the bottom of the lakes
cannot be seen, and state that on pre-
vious occasions that same statement
has been made, but has always turned
out to be false when the crater had
cooled sufficiently to allow nearer ap-
proach to its edge. The Press sent a
representative to the Volcano by the
return of the steamer w q. Hall yes
terday and will publish full accounts Of
the phenomenon in the near future.

IT is more than likely that we will
receive more definite news by the
Ma,IpOsa to-day in regard to the stand
ing and chances Of the Reciprocity
Treaty. We do not believe in the
alarmist theory in such matters, neither
do we believe in keeping up public ex-
pectatlon by whistling idly over for
lorn hope, which, from private advices
we have received from reliable men in
Washington, We believe the hope of a
continuance of the Treaty to be. We
are thoroughly convinced, as we have
stated before, that as political party
policy gave us the Treaty, SO another
party policy will take il away. Our
only reasonable hope at present is, that
notice OF abrogation will not be given
before the next session of Congress,
which will place the catastrophe of
three years, if such it can logically be
called In any event there will be nc
use crying; we should be doing all we
can to meet present emergencies if they
come, and should look forward to the
future Of Hawaii no matter what
comes.

Those who have been prophesying
the failure of the Civil Service law will
not find much TO encourage them in
that belief in tho amendments to the
Civil Service rules which have Just
been approved by the president. Ten
amendments have been made, all
tending to increase the usefulness
and efficiency of the service. Among
the important changes made is that
which allows q person who fails TO
secure a permanent appointment af
ter serving the probationary period
Of six months, TO be admitted to an
other examination within one year.
Heretofore he could not be re-exam-
ined until after two years. Another
rule has been 50 modified as to per

NO TIME LIKETHE OLD TIME.

Thore is no time like the old time
When you and were young.
When the buds Of April blossomed,
And the birds Of spring time sung.
The gardens brightest glories
BY summer suns are nursed,
But oh, the sweet, sweet violets,
The flowers that opened first
There is no place like tho old place
Where you and were born,
Where we lifted first our eyelids
On the splendors Of the morn.
From the milk-white breast that warmed US,
From the clinging arms that bore,
Where the dear eyes glistened DER us
That will look for us no more
There is no friend like the old friend,
That has shared our morning days,
No greeting like his welcome,
No homage like his praise;
Fame is the scentless sunfiower,
With gaudy crown of gold;
But friendship is the breathing rose,
With sweets in every fold.
There is no love like the old love,
That we courted in our pride;
Though our leaves are falling, falling,
And we're fading side by side,
There are blossoms all around us,
With the colors of our dawn,
And we live in borrowed sunshine
When the light of day is gone.
There are no times like the old times
They shall never be forgot!
There is no place like the old place
Keep green the dear old spot!
There are no friends like our old friends
May heaven prolong their livesl
There are no loves like our old loves
God bless our loving wives!

Senator Coke has favored us WIT
copies of his speech on the silver
question. We need not say it is
sound and able. We copy the closing
paragraph:
If the laws of the land in relation
to silver dollars and to the payment
of the public debt were enforced or
obeyed there would never be silver
dollar in the Treasury unrepresented
by an outstanding silver certificate,
and there would be no more agitation
in this country over the silver dollar,
because the bankers and bondhold-
ers, who from motives of selfinterest
have fomented the disturbance, would
be prompted by the same motives to
maintain and protect it. This action
on part of the Government would be
taken by the world as a declaration
of an American policy, to be adhered
to and maintained, and could not fail
to encourage and strengthen through
out the world all who in behalf of the
great mass of laborers and producers
are struggling to prevent the
destruction of one-half the money of
the world.

For the FREE PRESS.
Some weeks ago, Mr.. Bryan diving on the
side of the hill north of town. in prepar-
ing place for his bees for winter, on the
south side of the bluff below his home, found
small cavity in tho rocks. After enlarging
this cavity for several feet, he found large
arched chamber. Judging from the arch of
the ceiling, the opening Of the cave must
have been originally about hundred feet in
diameter. The ceiling and floor showed no
indications of fire or smoke or that it
ever has been used for human habitation,s
and we believe, Mr.. Bryan was the first
man who entered the cave, since il was
artIfcially sealed in the dawn Of earth's last
creation. S
History proves that all largo caves were
once closed and only became accessible by
n large amount of labor. We believe that
all large caves belong to an antibiblical
period of former earth, which came not

The Dallas Mercury is publishing
a life of General Ben McCulloch, the
famous Texas and confederate soldier.
In speaking OF the battle of San Ja-
cinto, it says:
Ben McCulloch, the Tennessee
backwoodsman, bear hunter and trap
per, commanded one of the famous
Twin Sisters, two cannon donated to
the Texas patriots by the noble ladies
of Cincinnati, to which responsible
position he had been assigned by
Captain Poe a few days before the
battle. Of his own conduct in this
battle, he wrote to friend: "At the
battle of San Jacinto was in COM
mand of one piece of artillery. The
fire of it opened upon the enemy,
about 200 yards distant. We ad-
vanced after each discharge, keeping
it in advance of the infantry, until we
were within less than 200 yards of
their breastwork, at which time I had
aimed the gun, but was delayed in
firing for a moment by General Hous-
ton, who passed across some thirty
PAGES in front of the gun, and was
nearly that distance in advance of
every man in that part of the field.
