Turper Harmopie Keunion.

L. B. Mohr, of the Turner Harmonic, en-
thusiastic as Turner and musician, COM
plimented the members of the Junior
Turner Harmonie-an organization which
he was mainly instrumental in establish
ing, and which has already large mem
bership, well trained in music-by giving
them banquet at the Saddle Rock last
night. The two Harmonies marched down
from Turner Hall about $50, and found
that mine hosts, Buchanan & Carraghar,
had spread long table, reaching the full
length of their main dining-room, in a
most appetizing manner, all the substan-
tials and luxuries of the season ap-
pearing on the festive board, the
whole being arranged with excellent
taste. Covers were laid for about eighty
persons. Not long after the party were
seated the Hussar Band appeared and
serenaded them, and were enthusiastically
received. OF course they Immediately be-
came part and parcel of the CHEEKY gather
ing. In due course toasts were declared
in order, and many were given and re-
sponded to, awakening great enthusiasm.
Between speeches there was music by the
Harmonies and the band, and at times the
voices accompanied the music in a spirited
and artistic manner. The party enjoyed
themselves up to late hour with wine,
wit and song"

An Old svarnp.Land Case.

The case of Swamp Land Reclamation
District No. 8 Grand Island, Sacramento
county, VS.. Charles Goldman, came up for
trial in Department One of the Superior
Court yesterday, but was continued until
this morning. Suit is brought 10 compel
defendant to pay an assessment for recla-
nation purposes levied twelve years ago,
when it was decided to build levees, and a
commission was appointed to apportion
the expense among the land owners accord
ing to the benefit to be derived. The levees
were built, but the next high water de-
stroyed them, and several of the property
owners who had not paid their assessments
declined to do so, claiming illegality as re-
CARDS the manner in which it was made.
Notwithstanding the length of time that
has elapsed, there was surprisingly large
number of witnesses, who were parties to
the matter, in Court yesterday.

The Museum Association Prizes.

A correspondent sends the RECORD UNION
the following:
about the award of medals by the Mu-
scum Association next Thursday, it is TO
be hoped the teachers and Directors will
do the right thing, considering in the first
place the young beginners who did their
best during the year. 1t would hardly be
an encouragement for a beginner to be
classed with those who have already taken
lessons for years and years, and even try to
be teachers themselves
We are informed that the Directors pro-
pose to leave the whole matter of awards
to those who are TO act as Judges, and who
without doubt will decide without regard
to whether the pupils are beginners or
are well advanced in their studies, basing
their decisions upon merit. The Directors
invited such competent artists as Virgil
Williams. William Keath, Oscar Kanauth
and H. W. A. Nahl TO act as Judges, but
the first three will be unable to attend, be-
cause of other engagements. Mr.. Nahl has
consented to act, and it is understood that
the other Judges will be Monsigror Capel
and w. g. Scott.

motive 95, engineer Adams and conductor
Fano in charge, in conveying the Aimee
Opera Company's baggage car from this
city to Oakland pier in two hours and one
minute Monday afternoon. In considering
the rate of speed, it should be borne in
mind that the train had to undergo the de-
lay of being ferried over the Straits from
Benicia to Port Costa, taking nearly twenty
minutes, and she also had TO stop for water
al the latter place From Davisville to Ell

maintained, and it is figured that, deduct

hour and thirty-five minutes, or about one
minute and seven seconds per mile The
run down was the fastest ever made in the

THE BREUNER FIRE.-Nothing positive
has been learned as to the cause of the
fire in John BreuneI S warehouse Monday
night. Mr.. Breuner thinks it caught in
some way from chimney located near
where it originated, but Chief Engineer
Sullivan inclines to the belief that some
oiled rags must have been left lying around,
causing spontaneous combustion. The
building is damaged 10 the extent of about
g. 500, and the damage 10 the furniture
stored in it is heavy, but the full extent has
not vet been determined. ]. I. Stoll's

SATURDAY
INDEPENDENCE DAY.

November %, 1843, was the date of the
Convention by which the British and
French Governments recognized the in
dependence of the Kingdom of Hawaii.
On that day it first became a member OF
the family of nations; since then it has
grown in estimation and respect. 1t has
diplomatic and consular representatives
abroad, and is on terms of intimate
friendly relations with the United States
and the powers of Europe, as well as
with the Spanish-American Governments
and Japan and China. Indeed, it occu-
pies a place among the nations out Of
all proportion to its size and population,
but by no means disproportioned to the
destiny in store for it under a wise and
polite administration.
1t is not necessary to trace the steps
by which this nation attained to its
present dignity, further than to remark
generally that it was by close adhesion
to the principles of Christian civiliza-
ton inculcated by early missionary
agents, and by enlightened gentlemen
from the United States and Europe who
cast their lot among the Hawaiian people
and undertook to organize and guide their
government. The progress of the country
has been rapid under these beneficent
influences. It's polity was modelled
upon the Anglo-Saxon pattern, and
so long as it travels along the
lines laid down by the founders
of its government there is no reason
to apprehend any interference or
check from abroad. The only real dan
ger is from within Hawaii is an indie
pendent government to-day because it
accepted fully and Internationally the
polity of Christian nations; and it will
retain an independent government just
SO long as it continues in that course and
does not become financially embar-
raised.
Upon an occasion of this kind it is
neither becoming nor expedient to discuss
possible causes of national apprehension
or danger. 1t is sufficient to say that
such causes are not beyond the range OF
probable activity. The general 'inteili-
gence and integrity of the people, how
ever, should avert the danger, and lead
to the adoption of robust and manly
policy of self-denying independence,
The expenditure should be kept within
the income. Every available dollar
should be expended upon works of in
ternal improvement, education and in
dustrial enterprise. Debt should be
avoided, and the revenues and resources
of the country properly husbanded and
developed. If Independence Day, 1886,
should mark the adoption of this policy
and its loyal and persistent prosecution,
it will be the precursor of long period
of industrial development, political pro-
gression and social advancement.

SCIENTIFIC PROJECTS.

1t Will be remembered that the AD-
vERTIsER recently referred to certain
scientific. work, projected in connection
with the trigonometrical survey Of these
Islands under the direction of Professor
w. d. Alexander, Surveyor General ;
also to the probable survey of the ocean
bed, in a westerly direction, by a
United States national ship. With re-
gard to the former, we learn that the
Minister of the Interior has approved the
temporary employment of Mr.. Preston,
of the United States Coast Survey, as
suggested by Professor Alexander, in as
Economical work in connection with the
Government survey, particulars OF
which were outlined in the ADVERTISER.
1t is also satisfactory to know that
there is a prospect of securing his
services before the close of the
year. This will be a step in
the right direction, and must result
in benefit to these Islands, besides
settling several important scientific ques-
tons. With regard to the survey of the
ocean bed in the neighbOrhOod of this
island group, the prospect is fair for the
execution of that important work. Com
modore Bartlett, head of the United
States photographic Office, has written
to Surveyor General Alexander cordially
approving the plan for a deep sea survey
OF this part OF the Pacific Ocean, and it is
probable that through the active inhu-
ence of His Excellency Hon. H. A. P.
Carter, Hawaiian Minister at Washing
ton, vessel may be detailed for this
service. 1t is, of course, known that an
English ship will survey the cable line
from Vancouver Island to the Hawaiian
Islands, and when a United States ship
has run survey line westward from
these Islsnds to the Asiatic Coast, their
combined work will be Of great practiacl
value

MORE ABOUT ROADS.

If the Minister of the Interior were to
authorize the spreading OF a sufficient
quantity of black sand upon the Waikiki
road and Beretania street, before these
thOroughfares have dried up, hard sur
face would be formed which would rem
der them fairly passable during the
Winter. This is what a correspondent
says, and we give it publicity through
our columns in the hope that it may be
acted upon. Even partial repairs are
better than nothing. The thoroughfares
in question are in very bad condition,
and doubtless a thick coating of black
sand, which would work into the pasty
mud, would be an improvement. Should
this work be delayed until the road sur
face is completely dried, it would be OF
very little avail. To be efectual at all
it should be set about at once.

A Correction.

We were in error in yesterdays issue
in stating that no official announcement
had been made OF the observance Of In
dependence Day, as on November 9th
the Minister Of the Interior published the
following notice: The anniversary Of
the recognition OF Hawaiian Independ-
ence by the Governments OF Great Brit
ain and France, November 18th, falling
on Sunday, Saturday, November 9th,
will be observed as a National Holiday,
and all Government Offices throughout
the Kingdom viii be closed on that
day"

OPIUM LICENSE.

The Opium Law having been promul-
gated, it remains for the Government
either to grant license or allow the law
TO remain a dead letter. 1t is perhaps
too much to expect that the latter course
will be adopted, although it is the only
one free from suspicion of corruption.
The ADVERTISER advocated the regula-
ton of the opium trade by law, in the
interest of morality and for fiscal rea-
sons. 1t does not, however, approve Of
the present law, and it did not approve
it at any stage of its progress through
the Legislature. We think the law is
defective, and that the checks pro-
vided under it will be imperative. Its
provisions do not hang together, and the
only thing which it really will do is to
grant some one a monopoly of the opium
trade for four years who will be able to
laugh at the penalties provided under it,
and manipulate medical certificates.
From the keen competition for this
License known to exist, and the
large sums of money reported to
have been offered as brides to
persons of supposed influence to
induce them to exert it in favor
of the party willing to pay for it, we
must conclude that it is worth great
deal of money in the estimation OF those
who understand the opium business and
are ready to embark in 1t.
If the license had been put up at auc-
ton the Government would have OBJ |
tanned 500, GOO year for four years at
The Pacific commercial advertiser. [volume] (Honolulu, Hawaiian Islands) 1885-1921, 1886-11-27

the very lowest estimate. But the price
is fixed by law at $4,000 yearly for four
years, and the license is to be granted
secretly by the Minister Of the Interior
without competition. Inasmuch there
fore as there is a difference Of $3.50, 900
in favor OF the Hcensee under the law as
it stands and what it would cost
under open competition, that is
the measure OF the corruption fund with
which applicants for the opium license
hope to tempt and debauch those having
the power to issue it. And the public
revenue is denuded OF that amount 10
create corruption fund in the interest
Of dealers in opium.
This is the precise state OF tie case as
it appears to US, and as it must appear
to any intelligent person. No matter
how honest or how pure the action OF
the Government may be in granting this
opium monopoly, it cannot hope to es-
cape the Odium and suspicion OF corrup-
tom The naked fact will stand out that q
| concession was secretly granted for foul
years at 100000 which would easily
have brought 100000 at public auction
| and that alone is sufficient to create a
suspicion Of corrupt motives in tn,
granting OF such license. We do no
say, or even insinuate, that corrupt in
fuence will prevail. That it is beini
attempted is notorious; and the only wa,
to avoid the imputation, and preserve
| the Government record clean, is to re
fuse to issue any license whatever undo
! the Opium law.
