some public interests and pressing
public wants, and some necessary
departments of government have
meagre allotment on the Appropria-
tion Bill, while liberal amounts are
recorded for objects and purposes
Of little or no benefit to the country
or its people. Thus, for instance,
the sum of ten thousand dollars is
lavished on useless genealogy
board, and useful institution like
the Insane Asylum compelled to
drag along with an amount unequal
to its reasonable and absolute re-
quirements. So that with over
seventy inmates it can only employ
four watchmen, divided into two
watches Of eight hours each. A
pretty weak guard for so large q
number of unfortunates.
Now, we confess to lack Of
veneration for body Of men who
disposes of the peoples money in
this sort Of way, however much we
may respect individual members of
it. In fact, we feel something akin
to contempt. Perhaps it is wrong
feeling, but really we cannot help
it. If this body constitutes the
assembled wisdom of the country,
we are constrained to say that the
country is sadly in want of wisdom,
and had better send abroad for
some,

my removal from the Post Office,
allow me space to state that no

The following official letter furnishes
all the evidence l have, that my

SELLING WITHOUT A LICENSE.

The merchants of Honolulu have
just grounds of complaint against
some of the sailing vessels running
between this port and San Fran
cisco. The captains of these vessels
bring here every trip quantities of
hay, grain, and other commodities,
and sell them without license. In
some cases they are assisted by
their wives, who are generally sue.
cessful in disposing of imported
wares in the line of female reQui-
sites. This is a manifest injustice
to the people of the place, who pay
large fee to the Government for
the privilege of selling imported
goods. These captains, who pay
neither license nor rent, undersell
the regular traders, and thus
damage their business. 1t is i'm
possible that those who contribute
to the Government the cost of q
license and to the landlord the rent
of premises, besides paying the
annual taxes, should be able to
compete with others who are en-
numbered with no such burdens.
OF course, the injured traders have
remedy at law, but the remedy,
like many other legal remedies for
existing evils, is difficult of applica-
ton. That is, the offending parties
are shrewd enough not to be easily
caught, and until the culprits are
caught and evidence forthcoming to
secure conviction, they cannot be
punished, although well known to
be guilty.

MlSAPPROPRIATI0N.

A Hawaiian Appropriation Bill,
at least that of the last session of
the Legislature, has one striking
popularity, viz, that the amount
appropriated exceeds the revenue
estimated. The legislative bodies
of other nations are in the habit of
regulating their appropriations by
their probable revenue; that is,
they do not usually vote away more
money than they expect to receive.
If the revenue from all sources is in
sufficient for requirements, the
deficiency is provided by Loan
Act. Our legislators are not gov
erned by the customs and methods
of other countries. Oh dear, No!
Whether there is money or not,
they can appropriate it all the same,
and keep on appropriating! This
is matter in which we beat the
world. Perhaps it is because we
are more enlightened and wiser than
other nations! Only it requires
great charity and little knowledge, a
strong heart and a weak head, to
believe so.
There is another feature Of our
Appropriation Bill that is striking,
but perhaps not so peculiar as the
one just noted; that is, the large
ness of amounts put down for super
fuities and the smallness of those
for necessities, thus magnifying the
work of the merely ornamental and
depreciating the value of the really
useful, giving prominence to the
insignificant and obscuring the i'm
portant. We do not wish to insinu-
ate that every necessary work and
all worthy objects are sighted or
jnadequately provided for; but that

the WATER SERVICE.

1t is all very we'll to put forth the
excuse for an inefficient water sup
ply, that people waste great deal
Of water in irrigation and otherwise.
But it should at the same time be
shown that the department has taken
reasonable measures to prevent
waste. There is good deal of
evidence, apparent to the most
casual observation, that the outside
management of the waterworks has
been as slovenly as the administra-
ton of the finances inside. In some
quarters of the city, where house
taps yield no water for several hours
each evening and morning, the
gushing Of water from garden hose
may be heard through the whole
night. As late as nine O'Clock in
the morning, too, Chinese shop
keepers all through Chinatown are
drenching the streets in front of
their premises. All this constitutes
an imposition upon householders,
from whom water rates are exacted
but who cannot get supply for the
most necessary domestic purposes.
Again, the reservoirs are maintained
in disgracefully careless fashion.
There are many acres Of land above
Kapena pool in the condition of
stagnant. swamp. The porous soil
must suck up an immense quantity
of water that might be conserved
and conducted into the reservoir.
Rank vegetation, permitted to grow
and rot all over the area, must
absorb great deal more, while
corrupting the water Of the stream
supplying the pool. Cattle are
allowed to roam all through the
swamp, adding material quota Of
filth to the supply. Probably il is
not too much to say that very
little engineering, with proportion
ately small expenditure of money on
mechanical work, would add at least
a fourth to the efficiency OF that
reservoir. The Government should
make an effort to place this most
important public service in salts
factory condition, before acting up
on Suggestions" of fancy improve
ments.

GLAD TO HEAR the BAND AGAIN.

1t is scarcely an exaggeration to
say that the return of the Royal
Hawaiian Band is hailed with joy
by every man, woman and child in
the community. The Band is one
Of those institutions which we can
not do without. Its temporary alb
sence brings us to realization of
this fact. We can, and have, and
do put up with many discomforts,
and inconvenience, and actual nui-
sances that might be obviated, such
as dilapidated sidewalks, rutty
streets, an insufficient and some
what impure water supply, unclean
poi factories within city limits, and
pestiferous back sluns which i'm
pregnate the atmosphere with un-
wholesome odors. But what should
we do without the Band? If we
had never had 1t, we should proba-
bly, never miss it; but having had
it, and had it so long, it becomes a
necessity. When deprived of it for
while, as we occasionally are, we
pull through with difficulty. With
out the Band life in Honolulu to
many is unattractive, our public
gatherings are dull, our evening
parties monotonous, and our beau
tiful moonlight nights lacking the
final touch that makes loveliness
perfect. With the Band our isola-
tion is bearable, our lack of amuse-
ments endurable, our dust and un-
even thOroughfares and insufiiciently
lighted streets not so disagreeable
after all. Therefore we are all
pleased and delighted that the Band
has come back, and shall prize it
more highly than ever, because of
its brief absence. To ask the favor
of little music now, is entirely un-
necessary; because the Bandmaster,

from floor to floor, causing the widest
excitement among the employees. ALI

euished the bruised and mutilated body
of Carrie Bruner, aged 80, was found
buried under mass OF heavy timber and

TRIED TO BURN, THE JAIL.
The Foolish Act OF u Prisoner in
the Princess Anne Iaiis

PRINCESS ANNE, ND, Nov. IA bold
attempt was made last night to burn the
Somerset county jail in this town. The
man charged with the crime is James
Stevens, colored, who was convicted at
the October term of the circuit court OF
committing q criminal assault upon an
aged widow, and who is now under SEN
tence Of death. The fire originated in his
room. The ceiling was saturated with
coal oil and then ignited. The flames
burned vigorously bnt Stevens gave no
sign Other prisoners, however, disoov-
cred the smoke and gave the alarm.
When the door of the cell in which
Stevens was confined was broken open he
was found in one corner of the room
wrapped up in blanket and feigning
sleep, although nearly suffocated.
A 'oser examination showed that he
had skilfully removed his shackles so as
to be ready to make his escape. His plan
however, was very foolish one for if the
fire had not been discovered the jai
would have been destroyed and he woulc
have been burned TO death. Thomai
Caviney, an Englishman charged will
larceny was also in the cell with him
Both were totally unconcerned. Ono
before an attempt was made to burn dow
the jail. The incendiary was luuati
and he was burned to a crisp by his owl

RETURNING TO WORK.
The Strikers Go Back to Work but
All are Not Wanted Now.


CHICAGO, Nov. 15.--At an early hour
this morning the late striking employees
of the packing houses assembled OF the
respective headquarters indicated in the
sherif's order issued yesterday and ap-
piled for employment. The crowd was
orderly and perfectly quiet. The fore
men of the different houses selected such
men as they required at once and the re-
mainder departed evidently satisfied that
they would be taken back as soon as the
houses were in full running shape again.
The number of old men re-employed this
morning is between 1900 and 1900.
Advices Just received from the yards in
dictate that no difficulty between the old
and new employees is anticipated.
The question as to what extent the old
employees shall be given precedence over
the new is literally discussed. At the
packers meeting yesterday afternoon. the
situation was discussed in the light of the
strike being declared off. All took Mr.
Powderly's order calmly, butwere plainly
gratified by it. All, however, were unan
imous in the declaration that no maj
should be discharged to make room fol
an old one. The determination was alst
expressed that only those should be takel
back who were desired by the employers
"There is not room now for all the OLE
men," said Mr.. Hately after the meeting

enough of animals on hand to start vi
with a full force. It will take me severa

back all of the old men they could use
none of them believed that many Of ther

BosroN, Nov. l5.-The Aloop Mayhower
is offered for sale at cost, the offer to re-
main open until the FIRST of December.
The reason assigned is that the owner will
probably be unable TO give the required
time next summer for the trial races in
the event of another contest for
the Americas cup. Edward Burgess,
the designer, says that Last sum
mer's campaign cost General Paine
a great deal Of time and caro-, and
he does mot feel like going into another
such contest next year. He thinks the
Mayhower may be needed 70 defend the
cup, and gives this opportunity for any
one to buy her who has the time to run
her as she should be run. It is q public
matter with him, however.
