OUR SAN FRANCISCO LETTER
Per 5. 5. s. Alameda San Francisco,
June 3rd, 1888.
CFrom our special Correspondents

The affairs of VIM. T. Coleman & Co
are still in process OF settlement, and it is
reported that a composition will be effected
at the rate OF 10 cents on the dollar. The
published statement of assets and liabili-
ties shows that the latter amounted to al
most $3, 100000, which is exceeded by the
estimated assets when they include the
private property of VIM. T. Coleman
Without this property there is Il deficiency
of almost 81 900 600 in the actual business
transactions of the firm, valuing the assets
as estimated by themselves.
A Japanese paper states that the number
OF emigrantS going thence to Hawaii has
been yearly increasing, and that the steam
er Takasago-Maru was to sail on May Goth
with 900 more. When certain number
has departed the Japanese government will
put Il restriction upon further emigration,
so that no more may leave until some have
been returned.

late Consular report from Germany
shows that, under the improved methods
OF manufacture now in use, the quantity
OF beets required to produce one miller of
sugar has decreased by 40 per cent While
cent. the efficiency of individual factories
has increased by over 20 per cent. The
superior yield of saccharine from beets is
attributed mainly to scientific and techni-
cal Improvements that have been intro
duced in the internal economy of sugar
factories. 1t is these improvements that
make Mr.. SpreckelS SO confident of success
in California.
The three story brick building, at the

Honokaa, Hawaii, June 6.
Pearl River Expedition.

At early morning, fOregathering Of
legislators and prominent citizens was
noticeable at points on the water front.
The chief rendezvous seemed to be at the
Brewer wharf, where the little steamer
Eva was lying. At about half-past 7
the tri-whistle signal was sounded, call
aboard" called and the nimble little
craft was off. About the same time, a
fotilla of sloops and yachts to the num-
Der of seven got sail up and bent their
courses in the same direction as the
steamer. Some sixty eXcursionists were
on board the eight vessels. The obiec-
tive point, Pearl HarbOr, was reached
within a couple of hours. Ford's island
was circumnavigated by the fotilla.
After this, some time was spent cruising
about in the lagOOns. The excursion
lists, particularly those heretofore unac-
quainted with the waters of Pearl Har-
Dor, were much impressed with the
depth OF the water. SOundings were
taken in different places showing from
seven and half to nine fathOms The
healthy and vigorous algerOba trees on
the islets in the harbOr were particularly
noticed. About one o'clock p. M the
eXcursionists landed, and made their
way, with big appetites, to the old Rob
inson homestead. There grand spread
of substantials was laid out on the grass
under the trees. The luau part of the
days exercises" being satisfactorily
got through with, those who had come
under canvas, embarked on the return
voyage, and the steamers complement
of passengers were on deck an hour and
a half later. About seven o'clock the
steamer reached the wharf. Some of
the sailing craft had come in a little
earlier, and the rest were reported COM
ing.
The party were highly delighted with
their days airing, and, no doubt, the
next few days legislation will be of an
extra vigorous type.

A Public Grievance.

Mr.. EDITOR Il wish to call the atten-
ton of the authorities to a public griev-
ance which exists in this district. /
refer to the combining of lepers in the
ordinary prison cells. We have at Hon
okaa two small rooms, 6x12, for the ac-
commOdation OF prisoners, one of which
is always occupied, and generally both.
Now, when ten or dozen lepers are
collected and awaiting steamer, they
are huddled together with the other
prisoners, sleeping on the same mat,
eating together, and using the same
closet. 1t is bad enough to be in jail
under the most favorable conditions, but
if part of the punishment consists in ac-
quiring loathsome disease, then it IS
hard punishment indeed. The Board Ct
Health has been appealed to, l believe,
to put up a separate house to be used for
that purpose alone, but l, understand,
have declined to do so, and recommend
fumigatiOn for the cells after being occu-
pied; but [ have not yet heard of a case
where fumigatiOn has driven the disease
out OF the system after it has taken hold.

Sunday School Picnic.

The Sunday School picnic under the
auspices of the Central Union Church
and congregation was a splendid success
in all and sundry of the elements that
contribute to success on such an Occa-
sion. A beautiful day, magnificent
grounds. rich, healthful breezes, abund-
ance of commissariat supplies, large
but not overcrowded assemblage, and
amusements in all but endless variety
were the features of the event. Between
five and six hundred persons, OF all ages
from the toddling infant to the vigorous
octogenarian were OH the ground. The
Rev. Lowell Smith, ID, who on the
previous day. before an assembly OF
some five hundred people, in referring
to events fifty years gone by, remarked,
" [ was in the prime of life then, moved
about among the crowd, taking in the
scene, with as much Zest, apparently, as
if he were one of the boys himself. Mr..
P. G.. Jones and Chief Justice Judd took
their runs on bases in a baseball game
between married men and unmarried
bows with a celebrity and lightness OF loot
that probably they did not very greatly
exceed when thirty years younger and
several points avoirdupois lighter. 1t
would be difficult to imagine better
spot for picnic party to enjoy them
selves to the utmost. The place, as
previously announced, was Sweet
Home" corner of Nuuanu and judd
streets, the home. in the 'forties and for
many years subsequently, of the late DIR:
Judd. The trees under which groups OF
delighted picknickers yeclined were,
mostly, if not all, planted by the hands
of the present Chief Justice, when
boy Several foreign guests from differ
ent points in the States were OF the
company.
About the middle of the afternoon the
homeward movement commenced, and
hundreds of little folks will long remem-
Der, with retrospective satisfaction, the
18th of June, 1888.

HiIO Notes.

Mr.. H. Luce has been appointed De-
putty Sheriff for the Island of Hawaii.
More Japanese are pleasant to see, be-
cause they always look SO cheerful and
are as polite as any nation in the world.
Judge Akau Hapai has been Ill for
some time, but is gradually recovering.
Mr.. j. p. Sisson has been acting in the
Judges place.
Mr.. Nathan G. Willfong and Miss
Maria Conway were united in the bonds
of wedlock on the I'd inst, by Rev. +. ?.
Baker at the house of the brides mother,
on Pleasant street, Hilo. There were
select few to witness the cheerful cere-
mOny. The manager of the great crater
was present.
Some teachers in schools in Hilo dis
trict set bad example to their scholars
by coming to their schools whenever it
suits their convenience in the morning.
The father of one scholar was fined for
his child's non-attendance. The matter
will be contested before Judge Lyman.
All the talk at Hilo is now that there
will be a wagon road to the Volcano
House, and possibly Hilo will be as
much benefited as if the Hon. S. c..
Wilder had secured money to build the
railroad, but why not build railroad to
kilauea instead of a wagon road. The
expense would not be much greater for a
narrow guage road perhaps.

forming, az far as laws could be made to
do SO, all of the evils named above, and
to repeal all laws that had tendency to
encourage corruption either in high or
low places.
Extravaganza and folly are being
checked by law, and opium prohibited.
Why not check or try to check the worse
evils by the same means? It's certainly
expected if not demanded by the reform
movement.
We want prohibition pure and simple
as that would be the direct opposite of
what the old government practsed.
Prohibition of official corruption and in
capacity, prohibition of opium, prohibi
ton of rum, etc., is what we expected
but as the latter dies hard and seems to
have friends among sober men we would
be satisfied for the present if the Legisla-
ture would give us that part of prOhibi-
ton called " local option as that would
give an opportunity for agitation and
secure to the people of every district the
right to decide this question themselves,
and We would look to the future growing
power of temperance to insert prOhibi-
tory clause in our Constitution. 1t will
surely be done, and these islands may
yet have the honor of being the first
country to do away with rum by cOnsti
tutional prohibition. This done, these
islands would be :" gems of the ocean"
in fact as we'll as in name, being freed
from the evils of king alcohol.

Rum and Our Revolution.

Mr.. EDITOR THAT the direct and in
moving cause of our revolution, and
may say the greatest of the many causes
| that brought on our revolution-yea, and
| greater than all else combined, we think
will not be disputed by we'll balanced
mind that is posted upon the subject ;
| and to one not posted reference to the
history of those times, with the memory
| refreshed by the reports of the recent
trials of the revenue Whiskey frauds,
will furnish sufficient proof that rum was
the supreme agent used in all attempts
at wrong doing and corruption, not only
to influence elections and defraud the
revenues, but the grand lever used by
the party in power to influence members
to vote as they wished when they want
ed laws made to uphold their corrupt
actions. When they wished law passed
to raise the salaries of officials, they in
huenced members with rum when
they wished money raised by taxation
or otherwise, they used rum as their in
direct agent. The opium bill, and in
fact all bills aiming at extravagances,
were passed by the aid of rum. This
was charged frequently at the time, and
never disputed, so far as l saw. So al
most all lines of extravaganza, as we'll as
drunkenness, must be laid to this giant
cOrrupter, rum, and as stated above,
rum was both the direct and indirect
cause of the evils that brought on the
revolution. To say that the Legislature
has no right to deal with this king of
evils, because intemperance was not
specifically agitated during the election
campaign" is straining the point of
sound logic, as it had been thoroughly
gitated and ventilated months before
the revolution, and no more needed a
specific agitation before election than
any other evil of which the people COM
planned. The wisdom of dealing with
the cause of all evils, as we'll as the evils
themselves, is very apparent, as without
the drunken officials and their still
worse drunken acts, there would have
been but little cause for revolution.
OF the many shortcomings of the old
Government, no one item, to the exclu-
sion of others, was held up as con-
spicuous object of reform, but drunken
ness and the evils arising from it, COM
bined with financial extravaganza, Off
cial corruption (rum the agent), inca
pacity, bribery and opium licenses were
the evils complained of to be reformed
not one of them but all of them. To
reform financial extravaganza and leave
drunkenness and it's attendant evils I'M
molested would make the revolution as
incomplete as if the evils of drunken
ness had been removed and national ex-
travagance left unmolested. The Legis-
lature was elected to make laws for re-

IT Is worth while to compare the pro-
visions Of the Married Women's Prop
ertv Act with the codes of some of the
States. We have done this in the case
OF Massachusetts, Michigan, California,
and the Province of Ontario, and were
at once gratified to find how enlightened
and progressive the provisions of those
commonwealth are, and ashamed to
observe how far behind the rest of the
world we have fallen. In all the juris-
dictiOns mentioned, the separate rights of
women are very fully recognized. With
some differences in details, with mock
conservatism in some and more OF
radicalism in others, the general result
of legislation has been to deprive the
husband OF all interest in the property
of his wife whether acquired prior or
subsequent to marriage; to give her in
some cases a partial, in others a COM
plete control over its disposition; to
give her, with varying limitations, the
power to contract, sue and be sued; to
make her earnings either her own or
common property. In brief, all the
benefcent provisions of the bill now
under consideration have been drawn
from one or the other of the States men
toned above.

The fact that the statutes of these
States contain, and in some cases have
contained for more than thirty years,
such radical provisions in regard to
women, is of itself enough to rafute the
absurd notion that there is anything
dangerous or revolutionary in them,
anything which is going to breed dis
sension and unhappiness in otherwise
peaceful homes The infatuated heroes
of the old order of things are always
ready with this cry, are always ready to
think that change means ruin. We are
Optimist enough ourselves to be con-
fident that a simple act of justice is not
going to turn the world upside down. 1t
is, to say the least, not matter of com
mon knOWled re that domestic peace and
harmony have become the shadow of
name in most Anglo-SaXOn homes dur
ing the last generation. We never heard
that the stability and permanence of
marriage had been abolished thereby.
On the contrary, other pet Orner-stOnes
of our social fabric seem as calculated
as ever to support the happiest struc-
lures There is no sort of connection
between the legislation proposed and
lax divorce laws. Or if there is a con-
nection, we believe it to be the reverse
of what might be supposed by the enc
mics of this measure. We believe that,
putting the legal relation Of man and
wife on just and rational basis, is
going to contribute directly to the peace
and permanence of marriage. We do
not believe that vesting in the husband
power over the wife which it would be
tyranny to exercise, ever brought any
thing but confusion, dissension and I'M
happiness into welded life. This is
spoken as from a Benedict, of course,
not with the authority derived from a
generations experience OF domestic ty-
ranny or servitude.
