n Crack Clipper

The barkentine Makah, which arrived
here recently from Newcastle, n. w. s,
has the reputation of being one Of the
fastest vessels on the Pacific coast. Built
some four years ago, she has made two
deep water voyages, the greater portion
of the time having been spent in the
coasting trade; and although her record
for short passages was at all times good,
it was nevertheless matter OF opinion
as to whether she would exhibit similar
qualities on Il long ocean trip. All
doubts have been set at rest, however,
by her two unrivalled passages on the
occasions above referred to. About
twelve months ago she receiyeda charter
from San Francisco to Panama, and
although loaded heavily with lumber,
she accomplished the distance from port
to port in thirtv-two days. Her home
ward bound trip was marked with equal
CELEBRITY Upon her arrival at San Fran
cisco she became an object of consider
able interest in shipping circles, and her
performance on her next voyage to Sgd
ney was looked forward to with interest.
From pilot to pilot the voyage occupied
fifty-nine days, thus beating by several
days the second record of the sea-
son. In recent issue OF the ADyEE-
TIsER her passage from Newcastle to this
port was noted. Her record for fast sail
ing has been maintained so far on the
the round voyage Captain Thompson,
the master and part owner Of the vessel,
superintendent in person the construction
of the Makah, which occupied but five
months from the signing OF the contract
by Mr.. w c. Hall, OF Port Blakeley, w.

not successful, however. Upon that
point it is sufficient to say that there is a
capable Finance Committee examining

that point at rest. We anticipate that

BOARD OF HEALTH REPORT.

A good deal of prejudiced criticism
has been expended upon the report of
the President of the Board of Health. to
whom unworthy motives have been at
tributed in its preparation. 1t is not our
purpose or intention to make any de-
tense OF His Excellency Mr.. Gibson,
who is we'll able to vindicate his own
conduct and motives; but it is our duty
to point out that the line of comment
pursued by the weekly Opposition organ
is not calculated to serve any useful pub
lie purpose, and this, we take leave to
think, should be the object OF decent
Journalism. The tone and statements in
Yesterdays Gazette" are certainly very
far from being creditable TO any profess
sedly reputable newspaper.

SANITATION OF HONOLULU.

The report Of Captain John II. Brown,
Agent OF the Board Of Health, which
forms Appendix ! OF the Presidents BIZ
ennial report presented to the Legisla-
tive Assembly, contains several valuable
suggestionsS Since it was prepared the
great fire swept away the bulk Of the
Chinese section OF the city, and 50 rem
dered it possible to give effect to some
OF these suggestions without incOn-
venience or expense. But a portion OF
the Chinese quarter remains, and the
sanitation Of it should not be lost sight
OF while compelling the erection OF we'll
drained fre-proof buildings within the
fire limit Indeed there is a very evil
dent purpose on the part OF Chinese to re-
sort to crowding just outside that line and
we think the Board of Health should see to
it that all buildings in process OF cree
ton should conform in every respect to
sanitary requirements, and that all old
buildings should be remodelled so as to
comply with them also. 1t would be a
very questionable policy indeed TO toll
crate a condition of things which must
ultimately result in an experience SINH
lar to that through which this city re-
Gently passed, and all the while propa-
eating sickness and disease. Public atten-
ton now being directed to this question,
the Board OF Health may count upon the
moral support of the community in any
measures it may take in looking to the
preservation OF public health and prop
erty. Now is the time to act with firm
ness and intelligence. Unless measures
are promptly taken, q new Chinatown,
as vile and dangerous as the old one,
will very soon encircle that section of the
city so recently swept by fire.

THE LEGISLATURE.

The Legislative Assembly yesterday
held an unusually long sitting, and dis
posed of a good deal of work. \ num-
Der of bills passed their second reading,
and the bill relating to the regulation of
the sale of spirituous liquors was consid-
cred in committee and reported with
amendments. On the House resuming
the third reading was fixed for Thursday
(to-morrow). The bill as it stands is an
improvement upon the sections of the
present law amended by it. The penal
clauses of the existing law are wholly
disproportioned to the statutory Offenses
created by it. Indeed, the law has be-
come dead letter virtually unless upon
occasion when private malice is brought
into play.
1t is proper to control the liquor traffic,
but it should be done within the limits of
reason and common sense. The penal
ties fixed by the bill which comes up for
third reading tomorrow are severe
enough, and should satisfy the most ex-
acting opponent of the liquor trade. For
visions of the existing statutes as to the
sale and vending of spirituous liquors, a
fine of not less than $25, nor more than
$50, shall be imposed; for the second
Offense, fine of $50 and up to 5000, is
prescribed; and for the third offense,
forfeiture of license and fine of not less
than 5000 nor more than $500, or impris-
onment with hard labor for three to six
months, or both fine and Imprisonment
at the discretion of the Court. Surely
this law is rigid enough to keep in check
the licensed liquor dealers of the Ha-
waiian Kingdom.
The Assembly did gracious and be-
coming act in the adoption of the resolu-
ton moved by His Excellency Mr.. Glib
son, in reference to leave of absence
granted to the Hon. Godfrey Rhodes for
the remainder of the session, on the
ground of i'll health. Mr. Rhodes is one
of the oldest members of the Legislature,
and has discharged the most important
functions connected with that body
with general acceptance. His absence
will be felt in the conduct of public bust
ness, his varied experience rendering his
advice and counsel peculiarly valuable
The ADVERTISER joins the Legislature in
heartily wishing Mr.. Rhodes a pleasant
experience abroad and safe return to
the country of his adoption.
The petition mill appears to grind out
requests for public money and sugges-
tons of public policy without stint or
limit 1t really is the only !inexhausti-
BILE thing in the Kingdom. OF course
the right of petition is to be held sacred,
but hereafter it may become advisable
o adopt standing rule forbidding
petition To specify any par
ticular sum for any given service.
We can readily understand now a timid
and weak Administration might be over
whelmed by a dexterous use of the right
of petition under the existing rule, or
how the policy of the Government might
be discredited by the same means. In
deed, we are not quite sure that this is
not being attempted to some extent in
the present session, although such an as
sumption would be crediting the OppOsi-
ton with an amount of brains and intel
ligence inconsistent with its history.

A No bleman In the Chorus. 1Fro0 ffSa PbIIadalyJsia P,.asS

In the 'fErminie" chorus there is hand
 some young German with high tenor voice. He is the son of Prussian nobIeman of high rank, graduate of two universities and an ex-of1cer of a conspicuous Brandenburg regi- ment. He got into trouble; there was a lady, rival and pistol bullet, and the young soldier fled, He landed in New York with out penny and worth only the clothes which he was wearing. He could not speak
 word of English and did not know a soul. and so fell into the hands of the German
 Charitable society. They sent him to Phila- delphla, telling him he would at once re- ceive employment. He did The nobly-born dashing officer of a few weeks previously was sent out with tin sausage boiler to ped de on the streets. It was a toss-up with
 him each night for three weeks whether he should drown himself or continue his occu- patton as a sausage vender, and long hours of bitter reflection were passed in the wretch ed court where he was forced to sleep and then slight improvement of his circum- stances arrived. He was engaged at e con- cert garden. By degrees he picked up c little English, and at times mounted the garden stage and sang some of his student songs One evening comic opera manager strolled in and heard the rollicking tenor song by the seedy waiter and offered him 6 position in his chorus.

WHICH Is WHICH9

The action of the President in the case of MT. Stone of Pennsylvania is quite as hard to understand was his action in the case of Mr. Benton of Missouri. It will not aid the oficeholders to understand what offsn- sive partisanship is, and the Inugwumps will not feel any better about it than they did about the Benton case.
 It is interesting, and not unimportant, to take look at this matter. Last July the President warned federal oficeholders to re- frain from improper political activity. Some of them didn't do it, and were "reported." |" Among those complained of were District Attorney Stone of Pennsyl Fania. Benten is Democrat and Stone is Republican. Ben ton made series of speeches, travelling all over the State of Missouri to do so. Stone made but two speeches, neither of which re- quired his absence from his office during business hours. Both Benton and Stone were suspended for offensive partisansh1p. Benton's Democratic friends worked hard for his reinstatement, and Senator Vest went to the White House to remonstrate with the President, and to tell him how much his ac- tion was likely to hurt the Democratic party in Missouri. What the President thought of Senator Vests remarks doth not appear. Benton wrote to the President telling him that he didn't mean anything wrong and had attended to the business of his office. The President forgave him with great show of fairness and regard for the public good, and wrote letter in which he said: ''I did not intend to condemn the making of political speech by federal official to his neighbors and friends at any time and place where it was merely incidental, if the speech itself was decent and fair. But I do not think that such an official can enter as business political campaign and consenting to long list of engagements to attend political meet ings, widely separated and of daily recur- renee, fill such engagements without neglect ing his duty if he holds aa office worth hay ing, nor without taking with him into the canvass his official power and influence" Stone having made fewer speeches than Ben ten, and in quite as proper way, thought Shat if Benton could be forgiven he might be too. and he wrote 8 letter much like Benton's to the President. The answer was, however, startlingly different. The President admits that Stone did not allow his political activity to interfere with his duties, but makes against him the point that he partici- pated in meetings where the administration was criticised, and even had the tsmerity to make such criticisms himself. Such tion astonished MT. Cleveland, who had Supposed that his sense of propriety would cause him to refrain from pursuing such partisan course as would wantouly offend and irritats the friends of the administration who insisted that he should not be retained in ofice."
 The moral of all this seems to be that Democratic offensive partisanship is very different from Republican offensive partisan ship. Benton stays in while Stone goes out, and the progress of great reform becomes more and more apparent.
