RUNAWAYS.

The runaway nuisance seems to be
increasing rather than diminishing with
the steady improvement of road stock
in and about Honolulu. Perhaps this
is enc of those grievances that cannot
be adequately covered by laws, yet the
regulations in existence, if more thor
oughly enforced, should suffice to
largely abate the evil. There should
be no excuse in the world for a "car-
riage for hire" or what is commonly
called hack, being sent flying on
career of damage and devastation from
a standing position either at an APP
pointed stand or any other place
along the street. Neither is there
any reason why so many runaways
should start in the course Of carry
ing passengers. If horse is not
properly trained, or impracticable Of
training, it should not be allowed to be
employed in hauling passengers. Sheer
carelessness or recklessnes is at the
=inrrorn of o,t-runsrway and for=ri1e
balance unframed or incorrigibly bad
horses will leave very exceptional cases
to be accounted for by other causes.
Without going further into the subject,
let it suffice to say that the public
should expect the authorities to use
what power they now have for the
abatement of the nuisance to better
advantage in future than in the past.

Age and Greatness.

The London ,SlDadayd in recent
issue says: at would seem as if the
work of the world were sometimes
destined to be done by a band of
young men and sometimes by group
of old ones. At the beginning Of the
present century, for instance, most Of
the heroes of peace and war were
young. Napoleon was not much over
80 in the days of AusterItz and Mar
engo; few of his marshals were older
Wellington passed his 10th year in the
Peninsular campaign. Pitt, after 20
years in the premiership, died at AZ.
Nelson was just the same age at Ira

Keats and Colerldge-w,re young; Sir
Walter Scott was looked upon as
patriarch of letters at SIS. At present

have Mr.. Gladstone and M. Grevey
Prince Bismarck and the German En-
peror, all OF whom, if they belong very
actively and wildly to the present,
would have left good record of nota-
bic work behind them if they had JON
ed the majority before M. Beneditti
altered the map of Europe by forget
ting his manners on the promenade
at Ems on a certain critical day. Aud
the strange thing is that when these
veterans disappear from the stage they
seem likely to leave no successors. No
doubt Providence has not forgotten
posterity, and the next generation will
be duly provided with its proper pro-
portion of great men. But it must be
admitted that they are slow in making
their appearance. Who is to succeed
Prince Bismarck in Germany Who has
taken up the mantle of Victor Hugo in
France7 Who are to be the successors
of Lord Tennyson and Mr.. Browning2
AS for politics, We do not forget Lord
Randolph Churchill and Mr. Chamber
lain in this country, or Count Kalnoky,
M. Tisza, and M. De Freycinet abroad,
when we say the 10Th centuy-the
century of statesmen, shows at present
but faint prospect Of closing with such
galaxy of great men as that which
shed lnstre over its infancy and its mid
die age. Let US hope that destiny in
one OF its freaks, is only waiting till the
old heroes are cleared off the board to
siartle US with constellation of young
geniuses in peace and war, in letters
and in arts. In the meanwhile we have
old men, and may be thankful for them.

TARIFF MATTERS.

Morrison aud His Supporters Prepared To-

WASHINGTON, Dec. 1i.-Mr. Morrison has
decided 10 call up the Tariff bill lin the
House the latter part OF next week. Tariff
reformers in the House are confident now
that they will be able to get the matter up
Tor consideration, and many believe there
will be tariff legislation OF some sort this
session. They nre prepared to make a hard
hght and take advantage OF every clrcun.
stance in their favor. II Is generally c0nsid-
cred that Mr.. Randall has placed himself at
great disadvantage by introducing his bill
last session. By so doing he committed him
seif 10 the acknOw ledgment that revision
OF the iarif Is necessary, and the friends OF
revision say he can not refuse TO consider
The question. They urge, too, that no man
ln the House disputes that the revenues of
The Government should be reduced. aud
that they can no longer refuse to attempt
The reduction. Tie opponents OF the Nor
r,son BILL are Invited TO consider the prOpo
Iiiion In spirit OF fairness aud
10 amend the bill IN any way
hey have the power 10 do
hat may please them. Many Republicans,
Is believed, are disposed to do this. Mr..
liiscock and others OF the Republican
eaders would favor taking up the question
and hghting tho Morrison proposition with
1 substitute, taking the tax of tobacco and
fruit brsBdies and placing sugar on the
Tree list Such a proposition would, 1t Is
believed, get the votes OF the Virginia,
North Carolina and South Carolina delega.
