A POINT OF AGREEMENT.

There is at least one point of
agreement between ourselves and
our morning contemporary. Our
neighbor does not want any "boss"
in Hawaiian politics: neither do we.
The "boss," as applied to politics,
is decidedly Objectionable person.
age. Where the "boss" is, there is
the 'machine' also; where the ma
chine is, il is absurd to talk of it's
votaries being ''free and independ-
ent electors - and we believe all
electors should be "free and indie
pendent. This machine certainly
came into operation at the last gen.
eral election. The BULLETIN pro-
tested against it, and was roundly
abused by the Reform party for
doing so. In our opinion, the doml-
Cling of machine politics and their
concomitants in this country would
be great misfortune. The "Ad-
vertiser" contains the information
"that it has been determined in
certain quarters that a boss we shall
have" and inferentially the ma
chine. The candidate or candidates
are said to be on hand and already
in training. To us this is news, and
we are sceptical of it's accuracy.
Organization may be as important
and useful in politics as in many
other affairs of life; but when it
degenerates to the "boss" and the
"machine," we are better without it.

AN AMERICAN ANSWERED.

EDITOR BULLETIN referring to
the letterof american" in yours
of Saturday, 1 wish to say that the
place selected by the Committee of
American Residents to poll the
votes of their countrymen is good
enough for me. When the vote
was polled here four years ago, it
was run by Americans, and there
was no thought Of others either
than Americans voting or of hold
ing the election on other than
American premises. If this were
an English election we should ex-
pect that it would be held in an
English store, but as it is an Ameri-
can election, an American store is
good enough for
A GENUINE AMERICAN.

bls that are a disgrace to the frater.
nifty, and a menace to the public
safety.
Neither are we inclined to he hard
on the police. Usually the reckless
drivers choose spot where is no
policeman, to exhibit their reckless
ness. Then in other cases, such as
the one first above named, the most
vigilant attention to duty fails to
capture the offender or TO discover
his identity.
This much can be done, and it
should be done: Be careful in grant
ing licences, rejecting all applicants
of doubtful fitness. Whenever a
licensee is proven to be a reckless
driver, irrevocably deprive him OF
his licence. Something of this kind
is demanded by the requirements Of
public safety.

FAST DRIVING AGAIN.

Fast driving through our public
streets is subject which has fre-
quently received attention in the
columns of this paper-more, in
the opinion of some people, than the
importance of the matter demands;
yet we feel compelled to again recur
to the often-harped-upon subject;
for the evil still exists, and exists,
too, without any apparent abate-
ment.
On Saturday night last public
express, with occupants other than
the driver, came down Nuuanu
street and turned the corner into
Beretania street at pace that was
positively dangerous. Had any one
been in the way at the turning
of the corner, it would have
been next to impossible to have
avoided being run over. The blood
of by-standers ran cold at the sight
and the contemplation of possible
frightful consequences. The police
officer on duty at that corner did his
best to check the speed of the reck-
less hack, but without avail. Not
even the number on the lamp could
be detected, the rate of travel was
SO rapid.
Another hack very nearly ran
overa lady and her little girl on King
street bridge, early in the same eve
ming, through rapid driving; and
when expostulated with by gentle
man on the bridge at the time, the
driver retorted with insolence, in
stead of Offering the humble apol-
ogy which his conduct called for.
Where is this kind of thing going
to stop? Have these reckless hack
men the freedom of the town? Are
they at liberty to do as they please
or, to drive at furious pace, reck-
less of the lives of pedestrians? 1t
is high time to teach them that it is
their duty To consider the safety of
others, and if they decline to learn
the lesson, 10 deprive them of the
right 10 navigate public express.
Let it not he supposed that we
reflect upon the entire fraternity OF
llack-drivers in the town. Not so.
Many of them, perhaps the majority
of them, are careful, trustworthy
men, and are a credit to themselves
and the fraternity to which they be-
long. Men of this class and char
acter could be namedon every stand
in the city. But few among them
are not SO. They are the individu-

The double-deck stages on Fifth
avenue, New York, seemed to hold
their popularity, six new ones hav-
ing been put in service this week to
answer the demand. The roof
seats on the "Jumbos," as they are
called, are most liked in pleasant
weather.
Some men never seem to grow old.
Always active in thought, always
ready to adopt new ideas, they are
never chargeable with fogyism.
Satisfied, yet ever dissatisfied, set
tied, yet ever unsettled, they always
enjoy the best of what is and are the
first to find the best of what will be.

ABOUT MISSIONARIES.

EDITOR BULLETIN 1t is always
matter of regret to myself to see
anonymous newspaper articles, be-
cause they are likely to run into in
vectlve and personalities which none
but the writers enjoy. AT the risk
Of incurring the charge of seeking
undue prominence, and also of per-
sonal maligning, l venture TO write
briefly concerning the criticism
which has appeared in your columns
against American missionaries and
their descendants, and the mission
ary party of these Islands.
Several months since. you kindly
published letter in which l stated
my opinion of the hospitality, the
public spirit ndIself-denying gener-
osity, (Which is the only generosity
which L regard as sincere), of the
old missionaries and their families.
That they were free from faults,
that they made no mistakes, is more
than any one pretends. That all
the forms of religious doctrine which
they inculcated, or the methods of
governing ones daily life on which
shey insisted, would not shave coin
cided with my own, or with the
views which to-day are largely en-
tertained by Calvinists or Congrega-
tioralists, is quite true. That fact,
however, does not detract from their
real merits, or from the valne of
their work. Perhaps certain de-
gree of rigidity of doctrine and
teaching, of blgotry If you please,
was required to meet the conditions
of life in these Islands forty years
ago.
But l leave to better,-but not to
more sympathetic, ic,-hands to trace
their characteristics.
l beg to ask you whether your
dislike of the hypocrite and the pha-
risee, and your sympathy for the
publican and the sinner,-in which
sympathy and dislike l heartily
agree have not led you and also
some of your correspondents into
the error of misjudging large por-
ton of this community? l am con-
.vinced that you are in no sense in
accord with those ,who seek to i'm
pose on our society freedom OF
living, which may properly be call
ed licentiousness, such as is permit
ted in no other respectable commun-
ity. And yet it- is true that the
class TO which i refer are the most
loud-mouthed in their denunciations
of the "damned missionaries" as
they habitually term them.
But as to missionary influence in
the present government, to which l
understand that you take exception,
what is it? who are the mission
airy officials? and which of them do
you think ought to be removed from
Office?
AS l look through the govern
ment buildings and offices, l see
but few who are connected or even
in sympathy with missionaries. The
premier, Mr.. VIM. l.. Green, has
never professed or shown such ten
dencies. Nor has the Attorney
General, Mr.. G. w. Ashford. If
his sentiments accord with his
brothers., there is no more bitter
anti-missionary. The Minister OF
Foreign Affairs, Mr.. Austin; the

The matter was brought to the attention
Of Judge Phillips, who at once de-
nounced the statement as absolutely un-
true. To-day the Sanford Express re-
iterates the charge, and goes on to say
that after having drank to excess Mt
Buchsnan's house the Judge heard the
case in which Buchanan was defendant,
and by ruling out certain testimony
saved Buchanan from conviction. Off
cial cognizance will now be taken OF the
matter, and an exciting sensation Is sure
to follow.
To-day there was a long argument on
the local-option question before the
Board of Com nissioners OF Wake county
in session in this city. Petitions for the
holding of another local-option election
were presented. There were 1900 sig
natures. The law requires that one
fourth OF the registered voters must sign
such petitions. Remarks we're made IN
favor of the petition by counsel for
prohibitiopists. The county COM
missioners took the matter under advise
meut. 1t is curious fact that Raleigh,
which is now a dry town, is enclrcled
by bar-rooms. These do great BUSH
ness. which would be broken up if liquor
IS allowed TO be sold in the city. So the
owners OF these bar rooms, while avow-
eddy desiring the election to be held, are
secretly using their influence and money
to mMotain the present status of affairs.
The law on local option is vague, and
this is the cause OF considerable trouble
TO the commissioners in msking mp their
decision, which they will render to-
morrow. 1t is evident in noticing the
proceedings to day that both Republi-
cans and Democrats fear entanglements
of the prohibition question.
