sweep down upon them. While not over a

men and families remote from settlements

Marathon and a few adjacent counties
500 families are rendered homeless and
destitute, and viii suffer unless immediate
help is sent them. Many of these people
had narrow escapes from death, having hid
den in wells or submerged themselves up to
their necks in streams, with wet blankets
cove ing their heads, until the fire passed.
In some places the fire swooped down so
sud- My that people barely had time to seek
this method of safety. In other places the
roar of the flames was heard for miles, and
the terror stricken people fled madly before
the flames to the neighbOrlng villages and
towns. The loss cannot even be estimated.

lumber camps, and millions of feet of tim

winds prevail again before rain appears.

IT is interesting to see how the press
abroad has been ''tuned" with regard
to the Hawaiian loan. Last week we
dealt with the London Times, and now
we find that influence has been brought
to bear on Bradstrest's. The paragraph
runs as follows:
"The Hawaiian legislature has just decided
| to borrow $2,000,0 900 at per cent interest for
| a term of from five to twenty years. The
purposes to which the loan will be applied
| are the redemption of bonds due and falling
| due, on which a higher rate of interest has
| been paid. Other items mentioned in the
| loan bill are immigration, water works, sew
| erage, street Improvements, dredging aud
! extension OF the harbor at Honolulu. No
! difficulty has been found in obtaining the
amount required. the loan having been nego-
tlated with representative of the house of
Barring Brothers, who has been in Honolulu
for some time past, the final arrangements
being completed in San Francisco. The
amount authorized to be borrowed will only
be drawn as required, and will be the sole
Indebtedness of the kingdom. The policy of
the present Hawaiian Government is one of
internal improvement. The roads and bridges
throughout the country will be repaired or
reconstructed as may be necessary; the I'M
migration will probably result in the intro
i
laborers whom the Government will endeavor
to settle, at the expiration of their terms of
service, upon crown lands. Wharfage extern
sion, additional warehouse facilities, and the
dredging of the harbor, show that the Hawai-
ians are alive to the importance of the COM
mercial situation of Honolulu, and desire to
afford increased facilities for ocean COM
merce, making that port as advantageous as
possible to all Pacific traders. AS the loan is
to be applied to specific purposes, there is
every reason to believe that it will be Judi
ciously and economically expended.
The absurdity of such statements is
self evident to those who know any
thing of Hawaii The policy of the
Hawaiian Government is truly one of
internal improvement" but said i'm
provement is not for roads and bridges
or anything of the kind. The internal
improvement intended is the purse of
Mr.. Gibson. That undoubtedly will
be improved in the future as it has
been in the past The business men
of our community desire the things
that are advocated in the extract given
above, but the Government of Hawaii
do not care for them. The white men
connected with the Government care
only for lining their purses and the
Hawaiians are carried away by a
will o'the-wisp," which will bring
them national humiliation
The present position is founded on
lies and is absurd, and nothing can
better show how absurd it is than,
knowing it, to read the Bradstreet's
grave statements.

KoHALA district does not seem in a
very happy condition. There can be
little doubt that incendiarism has be-
come a frequent crime. The theory OF
spontaneous combustion in the trash
houses is, we think, no longer tenable.
If the crime is incendiarism, why are
not the incendiaries captured, and the
answer to that is very clear; because
the police are thoroughly inefficient
Not only can they not find criminals,
but they are evidently powerless to
prevent the distillation OF liquor. It
is evident that the police system in
Kohala should be thoroughly re-
formed. The Kohala people are not
the easiest tempered in the world, and
they arevery tenacious of their rights
Reform had evidently better come
quickly or their temper may get the
better of them.

The p. C. Ain its issue of Monday,
Nov. 18th, says:
"a newspaper which resorts to dark say
iuEs' and parallels, as public instructor and
moralist, at this time of day, is an anachro-
nssm.'
This was all very well and we
thought how good and excellent a
thing it was for the town to have a
paper that would speak out. But
when we read further and found the
same system of innuendo being used
by the p. c. 4. itself, our faith in its
outspokenness dwindled. This is the
way it gets around the dark hints"
of the Bulletin:

HAWAII has reached crisis. The
present position is one of intense ten
sion. Many people are afraid to speak,
but all know what is working in the
minds of their neighbors. At such a
time there is little use in talking of
the smaller industries" or of i'm
proved ''harbor accommodation, what
men want to hear about and to have
discussed is the present state of af-
fairs.
No one who has been acquainted
with this city for any number of years
can shut his eyes to the fact of a dis
tinct deterioration in moral tone. This
is matter which requires no argu-
ment, the fact is patent. Vice stalks
ostentatiously before purity and is to
certain extent recognized, and even
IN certain circles upheld. 1t is posi-
lively disgusting to think how closely
impurity jostles against purity; it
is appalling to consider how low the
moral standard has sunk when that
which is impure, is known as vicious
and whose reputation is on par with
Dupont street, or the Raymarket, can
fiaunt itself alongside the purest and
hottest that belongs to ''home."
Like the lady in Comus, the pure
walk through the reeling, staggering
rout without knowing how near they
are to danger, but to those who have
their eyes open, to those who have
the care of daughters and sons, the
present moral condition of Honolulu
is terrible.
Whence comes this? the answer is,
from abovel IF we look to England
we viii see what the influence of a
pure woman can do. There was no
more vulgarly disgraceful standard
set before a country than that of the

birthday green. Now it will evspo
rate like the uncorked champagne.

COMPLAINT is made by number of
ladies and others, of the hoodlums in
the streets. In several cases lately,
the sidewalks have been occupied by
the "bloods" who would not move to
allow even a child to pass, the remark
being made that the street was good
enough for haole. 1t is the duty of
the police to look after such matters,
but they are usually too much en-
gagged in selecting a soft spot to slum
Der in. If we get rid of the "orange-
men" we should get rid of the other
nuisance. There is class growing
up in the city which is extremely OBJ
jectionable and recent events and i'm
purity are making it still more object
ionable. 1t is not that these boys are
rude, but they are also obscene, much
of this is, happily, lost upon those
whites who do not understand the
language, but large number of ladies
in the town do understand Hawaiian,
and it is shameful that their ears
should be assailed with the vileness
and filth that these young black
guards give tongue to. We trust that
now the matter has been brought into
public notice, we shall see some abate
ment of this nuisance. If the Mar
shall of the Kingdom does not attend
to it, why, the Minister of Interior
should. Both incumbents are native
Hawaiians and both are capable of
judging what kind of language these
young rascals use. A strong hand
would put an end to the nuisance in
double quick time. The matter is a
bad symptom; we trust it may be
brought to an end quickly. There
was a time when, like Moore's Maid,
in "Rich and Rare" alady could walk
out at any hour of the night and not
fear insult; that time has long gone
by If we cannot have the night de
Gently kept, at least let us have the
day, and don't have lot of black

tiers have to pass.

The planters of these Islands who
need labor had better look after their
own business. We are informed on
good authority, that large number
of Portuguese in the Azores are anx-
ious to come here, but that they can
not get the opportunity, because the
Hawaiian Consul at San Miguel wants
to keep the business of shipping i'm
migrants in his own hands. In point
of fact he desires to make a good
thing out of it as long as he can. Our
planters should, through the officers
of the society, make thorough inves-
tigation of the matter. We pay far
too much for our labor, there are count
less leaks which go to increasing the
price Of labor, and some of these leaks
might be stopped. There is no doubt
that in the matter of japanese labor,
a more than handsome profit was
made by those who had charge of the
affair IF you want thing well done
do it yourself" is a good motto, and
if the Hawaiian planter would only
make up his mind to get his labor
himself he would save more and pre-
vent a lot of officials from robbing
him of his legitimate profits.

early Georges and the ''frst gentle
man in Europe" Queen Victoria
came, and not breath, not whisper
against her, nor any member of her
Court has been heard. What is the
result? A most marked change in the
moral tone of a whole nation. No
such influence is being exercised in
Hawaii
Our citizens should draw line. In
no other country would they allow
their daughters to mingle with what
they do; nowhere else would they ex-
pose them to the contamination to
which they expose them here. Let
that line be drawn, and it will soon
show its influence. The present Ia
mentable moral condition is not due
entirely to the native. The foreigner
must bear his share of blame. He
has been willing to acquiesce and to
be subservient to what he knows is
morally wrong, and now that vice is
triumphant and faunts itself in his
face, he has to stomach his subservi-
ency as best he may To keep po-
sition many man in Honolulu has
eaten much dirt. We can show up
these gentlemen whenever necessity
arises; they lie among two well marked
classes, the officials and those who
have goods to sell to the Government,
and the list of their names, together
with their transactions, will be inter
| esting reading. How much dirt these
men can swallow is not clear; they
have stomached considerable guam
| tity already and in the future are
likely to assimilate a much larger
amount.
The question runs down to narrow
limits. Are men satisfied, apart from
all political question, with the moral
condition under which they have
to bring up their families in Homo
lulu? The answer is, emphatically,
no! The example set is thoroughly
bad and grows worse and worse every
year. This is question which touches
us more nearly than taxation, it comes
into our very homes. What lies be-
fore US is plain. Are we, without a
WOrQ, gong 10 nave our uOmo duLhOo
phere tainted by all that is foulest and
most vile, or are we, like our ances-
tors, going to protest in such terms
that the protest becomes command.
There can be only one answer to this?
Men whose traditions are those of the
Eastern States or of England, and
above all women, whose early years
have been spent in that pure atmos-
phere are agreed in their opinions.
It only requires a little strong &C
ton, little determination and foul
ness and filth will fly before purity
and innocence. But the action must
be sharp, the knife must cut deep, no
matter whom it may hurt. The mat
ter lies in the hands of those who
complain, and if they do not settle it
for themselves, no amount of words,
no amount of argument will help
them. The secret lies in action-frst,
action, second, and thirdly and lastly

TO-DAY is the Kings fftieth birth
day. The event is to be celebrated in
a variety of ways, the entertainments
lasting till December I'd. The pro-
gramme of events is published in an
other part of the paper. His Majesty
assembled the throne on February II,
1874, so that he is now in the thir-
teenth year of his reign. To reach the
jubilee year of his reign would require
his retaining the throne till 1924, a
length of time it is unlikely His Ma

for these reasons it has been decided
to celebrate the jubilee of age rather
than that of reign.

age of the present world, and the annals of

vexed question. Laugh at the society as
much as we may. however, it is evidently
going to be of immense strength. :and my

The Prince of Wales has happy
knack of doing the right thing in the
right way. The proposal which he
has made to commemorate the Jubilee
year of his mothers reign by estab-
fishing Colonial and Indian Insti-
tute has met with favor throughout
the length and breadth of the En-
pire. OF course it was optional for
the Prince to leave the matter alone
saying that others and not himself
should initiate movement for some
permanent institution to mark the
historical event. When he did I'M
dertake it, the institution had to be
of character which would weld to-
gether all the heterogeneous mass
which forms the Empire That he
has hit upon the correct plan shows
how well informed he must be upon
the feelings and wishes of his future
subjects.
What much more noble and broad
view to take of such an opportunity to
establish some permanent and useful
institution, than to fritter away money
in folly and vain show. The present
jubilee in Hawaii, is going to cost, in
proportion to the population, great
deal more than the English one will
cost. and it will, when it is over, leave
no mark, save perhaps, an empty row
of gin bottles. Had the Minister of
Foreign Affairs really wished to mark
the events in a fitting manner, he
would have advised the establishment
