ROBBERY Ar THE 2osT OFFICE.


The entrance Of the Post Office build-
ing and robbery of the sales as detailed
in our local columns, is an event out Of
the usual run Of petty offenses which, for
SO long a time past, worried and annoyed
our fellow-eitizens. II IS, however, ops
that need excite but little surprke. the
faciIitie~- Tor its comnissioE being 50
great. The wonder aIf1at the Post
Office has for 50 l2pse seaped buralarious
visitation, r1tltssf than that it should have
been roI5ed last Saturday night
w now speak OF the insecurity Of the
@building itself but another fact should
be noted, and that is the absence OF "a
nightwatchman on the promises. The
large amount Of business transacted by
the Post Office, and its growing import
ance as a medium for transmitting and
receiving money, should have suggested
to the responsible authorities the neces-
sity at least of putting q reliable man in
charge OF the premises after business
hours As it stood, the public property
was not protected as it might have been,
and we trust that this occurrence will
lead to a change in this respect in future,
not merely at the Post Office, but at other
public offices where money and records
are kept or merchandise is stored.
At this stage Of the investigation we
do not feel justified in commenting upon
the event very closely, but there is one
special feature which we cannot permit
to pass unnoticed We refer to the
statement OF fact in our report Of the rob
berry, that clerks in the Post Office were
in the habit of using the public safes for
the care. of their private funds Whether
the money of individual clerks was kept
-Aeparate from the public moneys in the
safes does not matter in the least 1t
should not have been there. This cir
cumstance should not be overlooked in
the investigation that is now taking
place, and which the public naturally ex-
pect should be as thorough, as impartial
and as complete as possible.

On Saturday evening last, a social tea
party was given in the basement of Kau-
makapii church by AR Henry Water
house to the Ahahui Poola. There was a
very good attendance of the members and
others, but unfortunately, politics was
introduced Instead OF its being a social
tea party, 1t was a political gathering and
the social an offset Speeches were
delivered in which politics were mingled
by two speakers, the Hon. John Il. Bush,
an ex- Minister, and Mr.. Harry S. Swinton,
Superintendent OF the Lunalilo Home,
but the weight of opinion was against the
Hon Mr.. Bush, who spoke on the In
grease and the Life of the Nation" In
his discourse he spoke deprecatingly of
His Majesty the King, and said that he
was being led here and there by some
body to do this and that, and also assail-
ed His Majesty's Ministers, and the late
circular OF the National Candidate of this
District, and said that it was only q
sswE tewash" The social quickly dis
persed at 80 o'clock by singing Hawaii
Ponoi, as it looked to be very imminent
for very hot contest of words. Mr..
Waterhouse expressed himself privately
rather pleased with the social gathering,
but was sorry at the Introduction OF poll
tics. Before dispensing, twas announced
that public meeting would be held
at the same place on Monday, January
1fth. On the street outside of the church,
some hot words ensued between the Hon.
Jas. Keau and the Hon. Mr.. Bush.
