THIS paper is and has been fully in
law for the Island of Oahu as should
secure the first chance Hereunder to
Mr.. B. F. Dillingham;. The exclusive
franchise is more in name than in fact,
for road once built from Honolulu to
any point on the Island will remain ex-
elusive until our population and local
industries are far greater than at present.
1t is safe to say that if road is built at
all under this law, no other will be pos
sible within twenty or even thirty years,
because there will not be business for
two roads, and not because OF the exclu-
sive terms of the charter. Mr-sDilling-
ham will not build the road with his
own money any more than Vanderbilt
constructed the New York Central with
his; Garrett, the Baltimore and Ohio
Scott, the Pennsylvania; Croker, the
Southern Pacific, and many others the
same. But the exclusive guarantee will
no doubt materially assist in procuring
local and foreign capital to construct our
little road. It was worth giving for that
very reason and it is to be hoped that
the franchise will not be sold to Skinner
and Company either, for our experience
with that house has not been such as to
inspire confidence. The report of the
select committee upon the 915,OOO ex-
pended by authority of Mr.. Armstrong
(of Skinner and Company outside of and
contrary to the provisions Of the Loan
Act of 1886, condemns that house severe
ly. The prospectus for the Honolulu
Street Railway indicates the true nature
and character of the house and makes
it perfectly justihable to believe that if
they get control of the Oahu Railway
franchise, the scheme will be f1oated
upon the London market upon such
terms and conditions that the promoters,
as it seems to be called in London, would
make handsome thing at the expense
of the stockholders. This method Of
doing business, while it might build the
road and secure that to us, must eventu-
ally result in great injury to the country,
for it will prevent the enlistment Of
foreign capital at bonafide figures in the
legitimate industries of the country.
For these reasons we believe the Legis-
lature was wise in refusing the appar-
emily tempting offer that Skinner and
Company would build the road without
any special concessions.

HILO NEWS LETTER
Vigorous Work of the Policeman upon
Unlicensed Shebeens-Other Matters.

On the 18th inst. Chinaman at Pau
kaa was fined $75 for selling opium.
If the party or parties who murdered
| Andersen, the Waiakea luna, think the
sheriff is going to relax his efforts to find
the murderer they are very much mis-
taken, so they might as we'll make a
clean breast of it at once.
What has become of the LaupahoehOe
Gazette; have seen no quotations from
it for some time. We miss it, such a
cheerful gloom ran all through it, The
editorials were written in such a cheer
full strain, and with such marked abil-
ity We hope it has not been knocked
into pi, unless it is into some good pie,
that one can eat, and fill up with when
one is famished. But really we do miss
the Laupahoehoe Gazette fOrenoons,
afternoons and intermissiOns.
The Chinese are the boys who can
make the cots (bOycotts) for lawyers and
others who cannot rest we'll on them, if
the aforementioned should vote against
the long-tailed tribe. Bread and butter
men must be on their guard. Chinese
money is nice and is sometimes paid
down in bags full, some of them being
green as to what a lawyer should charge
for his valuable services. So the long
tails have long tales to tell, but before
he tells his sad tale he must bid sad
adieu to many of his ducats which his
almond-shaped eyes have looked on and
counted over for some time with delight
while he longed for more.
More arrests of illicit liquor sellers.
Six in Hilo, one each at Onomea and
Honomu on Goth and 9th inst The
able Sheriff and his deputy and the
nimble police are entitled to lots of
credit. Victory perched on their ban
ners in every case. The gentlemen were
caught in the act OF selling. Deputy
sheriff Luce had case to attend to at
Honomu which caused his being there
at a. IN. Monday morning with Officer
Ben Brown, long on the police and who
seems equal to any emergency. He
takes special delight in bouncing down
on law breakers scare worth
cent. There are not as many police as
there used to be, but what there are
have been weighed in the balance and
not found wanting. Some of the gen
tlemen have been fined before heavily
and now have pleaded guilty and have
paid a fine Of $500 each, making fines
received a nice sum 50, 100. One China
man paid fine of $15 for selling goods
on Sunday. So look out for the mis-
sionary sheriff and his deputy as we'll as
the keen-eyed missionary police, for
they are bound to be terror to all who
endeavor to break the laws.

THE DAILY
WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 5, 1888

YESTERDAY was an off day in the
legislature The time of the House
was taken with the third reading OF
three bills: The Act to grant special
licenses for the sale of Hawaiian breWed
malt liquors under the Act of 1886, the
Oahu Railway Act and the Election law.
The two first occupied till half-past
eleven, when the reading OF the election
law began. The House took recess OF
one hour and went at it again, but the
reading occupied until half-past four in
the afternoon. As the third reading of a
bill is to ascertain whether the engrOss-
ing is according to what has passed on
second reading, no great interest exists
as to the bill, unless an attempt to
amend or kill is anticipated. Conse-
quently few members of the House sat
and followed the reading; more of them
read the ADVERTISER and other inter
esting literature and number occupied
the Hobbies chatting and smoking. Sew
eral availed themselves of the oppor-
tunity and went down town to get off
their steamer mails.

The KaupO School.

A letter on the Government school
at Kaupo, Maui, has been waiting
several weeks for insertion, only to
come to the necessity of being boiled
down for it's marrow. There has been a
new schoolhouse erected at Kaupo, of 81
feet by 33 feet dimensions and contain
ing three spacious rooms, each of which
is furnished with fifteen handsome dou-
ble-seated desks Our correspondent
expresses gratitude to Hon. G. R.
Bishop, President, and his colleagues of
the Board of Education, for attending to
the long-neglected educational wants of
the section. He has nothing but praise
regarding Mr.. Atkinson, Inspector-Gen-
eral, for thorough inspection and inves-
tigation, and compliments Mr.. P. A.
Anderson, contractor for erecting the
building, upon the conscientious and
workmanlike ful6lment of his under
taking.

MOBILES Jaeger, Luhiau, Widemann,
Makee; Representatives Naone, Kauhi.
F. Brown, Mcguire, Gay, Nakaleka and
Paehaole, are the men who voted on
Monday to sustain an irresponsible veto,
whereby the will of the people, as ex-
pressed by a majority of the Legislature,
is to be overthrown. No doubt every
one of these gentlemen thought he voted
only on the coffee bill and nothing more.
1t is our duty to believe that every one
voted honestly. There is no doubt OF
that, but the result is the same, a severe
blow was struck by them against consti-
tutionalism in Hawaii. The remarks
made by some of the Hawaiian members
show that they do not understand and
probably do not appreciate the principle
involved. If the six. absent members
had been in the House the effect on this
bill would have been different. 1t would
have secured SO and perhaps 81 votes.
This does not in the least alter the posi-
ton of the eleven who by their votes
sustained irresponsible as opposed to re-
sponsible representative Government.

The Oahu Railroad.

Mr.. EDITOR: A statement made
against Mr. B. F. Dillingham; in connec-
ton with the railroad to Pearl River,
was that he only wanted the franchise
for the purpose of selling again to make
money on. This report is now, however,
harmless, as it is known in commercial
circles that the gentleman named.is as
ISOLATED with Hawaiian capitalists, who
will furnish the majority, if not all of the
money to push the enterprise through.
There has been of late much money
made in sugar, and it is to be regretted
that men OF means have been sending
their money to the United States for in
Vestment, not knowing Of any Way to do
so here. AS matter of policy | think il
is better to have our capital remain here
than to let it go away, and be replaced
by foreign capital. In the first case it
helps our citizens. In the second. it
helps people not interested particularly
in the country; although | should GER
talnl y say give it to foreigners if we can
not do it ourselves.
Again, where there is no real necessity
OF SO doing, let us not help any foreign
country to gradually get this community
under its power. | highly commend the
justice of the legislators in finally voting
the franchise to B. F. Dillingham; and
others, for Mr.. D. has spent much time
and money, and figuring to shew the
practlcabllity OF this scheme, and It has
been from his shelving that London
capitalists have seen through it, and are
DESTROYS OF taking it up as a desirable
investment.
Some OF the legislators have desired to
make the franchise for ten wears onIv
Now while holding in respect what
think is the honest opinion of these gen
smen, feel that any company, Who
ever it may be, ought to have the guar
aspassed.
[. cordially wish Mr.. Dillingham; the
succs that he deserves and which I
beliees he will have. Will add here
that We interest in the matter is for the
counmyand not pecuniary one.

ONE of the sections of the new election
law provides that the seat of an elective
member of the House may be declared
vacant, for nOn-attendance upon the
sessions or business of the Legislature.
If this had been the law at the present
session one or two seats might have been
vacated, or rather in all probability the
result would have been fuller seats or
some designations. The average at
tendance at the daily sessions has hardly
exceeded forty. A glance at the calls of
the ayes and noes will show that thirty
nine is the average number who voted,
and as rule all present did vote. An
attendance of forty out of the ffty-two
composing the Legislature shows large
percentage of absenteeism. James
Campbell is the only member of the
House who has not been present at
single session, he having been absent
during the whole time and that without
excuse Several members were last
week excused from further attendance
for the remainder of the session.

THE Chinese amendment will come
up to-day in all probability for final
action. The outcome of the largely
attended mass meeting of the Chinese at
the theater a few evenings ago was the
appointment of large committee of
influential and well-known Chinese, who
have submitted a memorial (printed
elsewhere} to the President of the House
upon the proposed amendment. This
committee has faithfully waited upon
the House for several days to observe
the action upon the same. The two
men who have more than all others
pushed and insisted upon an extreme
measure, Messrs. Foster and Kinney,
have been excused, and have left the
country. In view of the active part
they have taken upon this amendment,
having become leaders in fact, they
ought on no account to have asked for
leave of absence and should not have
deserted the ship until this matter was
disposed Of.
The views of this paper have been so

Bugzboos of the Orient.

In China, to be brief, and TO quote a
ghost (who ought to know what he is
speaking about, ''supernaturals are TO
be found everywhere" This is the
fact that makes life so puzzling and
terrible to a child of a believing and
trustful character. These Oriental
bugaboos do not appear in the dark
alone, or only in haunted houses, or
at cross roads, or in gloomy woods;
they are everywhere. Every man has
his own ghost, every place has its pc
culiar haunting fiend, every natural
phenomenon has its informing spirit;
every quality, as hunger, greed, envy,
malice, has an embodied visible shape
prowling about seeking what it may
devour. Where our science, for ex-
ample, sees Tor rather smells) sewer
gas, the japanese behold a Shiny,
meager, insatiate wrath. crawling to
devou- the lives of men. Where we
see a storm Of snow their ivelier

umbrella. -Demorest's Monthly.

No Guilty Man Escnnnd

Benton Special: To-day has been
an eventful one in Choteau county
court annals. Dan Hart, a youth, who
was previously convicted of mutilatinp
animals aud fined therefor, and after.
wards also convicted of assault with
intent to kill, WAS brought into court
this morning to receive sentence for
the last crime. He was sentenced to
two years In the penitentiary, which,
added TO the term he will have &c
serve in working out his fine, send
him up for quite a time. Hart wac
formerly a Dootblsck in one of the
large eastern cities, and since his resi-
dence in this county has been in
trouble and under arrest several timss.
Micheal Fitzgerald, who shot and
killed negro in this town about Sept.
/. was convicted Of murder In the sec
ond degree. receiving his sentence this
morning of twenty years in the peni-
tentisry. Fitzgerald Is a tough CHAR
acier, but IL said to be well connected

Sailors Not Oftss overwork.d.

Perhaps here il would be well to say
few words about sailors and contra
dict some OF the romance and false
sentiment that is connected with them
by people and writers who know abso-
lutely nothing about them We had
anlextraordinarily fine crew, which ]
studied closely all the way. and came
TO this conclusion: First. that Jack is
not really vicious at heart, but at the
same time he is a perfect child and
easily influenced by any character of
strong will that he comes in contact
with, so that one man who so desires
can spoil and make discontented n
whole crew, no matter how well they
may be treated by the officers. Sec
ond, they are so much like children
that they even have TO be told when
to 90 TO bed and when to get up. The
least little thing will upset them. and
| have known Of whole crew coming
forward crying and complaining be.
cause the cook had spoiled their soup.
Third, that they do not have 10 work
as hard, and that as a rule they are
much better sed than the class of com.
mon laborers.
1t is all nonsense to imagine that a
sailor is an overworked man, for he is
not. Jacks day is divided into watches
of four hours each, four on and four
off. Nor does this mean that they are
all, especially in pleasant weather,
obliged TO keep awake during the
hours at night when on watch, only
that they must be dressed and around
They generally have one or two men,
chosen by lot, who keep awake and
instantly arouse the Others if any order
is given. Then they are so trained by
habit that they wake up instantly
whenever an order is given, and then
go to sleep the minute il Is executed.
OF course, in stormy weather this Is
different, but in storms-and ! have
seen some pretty severe ones, lnclud-
ing a cyclone in the PaciIic-thcre is
not nearly so much TO do as one would
imagine. Samuel +. Farrar in Chi

Wheat NJ n Food,

DR.. Calvin Cutter, the Psychologist,
who has made a careful study of this
matter, says: THE history of the
Roman empire in the time of Julius
Cesar shows that wheat rs an article
of food, combined with fresh outdoor
air life, is capable Of producing and
sustaining the highest type of physical
manhood the world ever saw. The
empire was built up and maintained by
soldiers whose main artio lie of food was
wheat. There is every n obability that
the present prevalence Of late erupting
and easily decaying tee,l, is due, for
one cause, TO the use of llour (white)
as food. In $50 OF the scaDol children
in Woburn, Lexington aud Bedford,
Mass, in ls74, under l2 years of age,
two-thirds had decayed teeth. (See
Reports State Health Board Of Massa-
chusetts, ls75.) There is every proba-
bility that grayness or premature bald
ness is partly due to the present ex-
elusive and universal use of white
-four" Then the doctor proceeds to
give scientific reasons why this is the
case.
Rev. ]. +. Clymer, Auburn, N. Y,
thinks that one reason why children
fed chiefly on white bread are SO often
hungry, and demand so much food be-
tween meals, is because their bodies are
insufliciently nourished. Their bones
and nerves do not receive the nitrates
and phosphates they need and are suf-
fering from hunger. Susanna w.

Mechanism Of Modern Honses.

We have come TO the season when
mysterious deaths will alternate with
the more honest report Of death by
escape of sewer gases. There are thou
sands Of houses in every one of our
large cities that are unfit for habitation
owing to the impossibility of safe and
proper plumbing. The use of lead in
water plumbing is also dangerous 10
an extreme. A case has recently
floated through the papers of family
poisoned by the lead cement ON the
pipes, which careless plumbers had
placed in the house well. There is so
much Of mechanism about our modern
house, well furnished with convent
ences, that either the occupant must
make a serious study Of all phases of
sanitation or run the risk Of losing his
life. There is some reason for follow
ing the advice of Baltimore editor, to
ignore the plumber and stick TO the
old fashioned washbasin and kerosene
lamp.-Globe-Democrat.
