Abolish the Electoral College

From the New York star.
The abolition of the present indirect
and cumbersome method of choosing a
president is subject that is not likely to
be dismissed from the public mind until
the change proposed shall have been
finally effected. In fact, ever since the
voters of the country chose Tilden over
Hayes by majority of a quarter of a
million, only to be befrauded of their
choice through legslized indirection, made
possible by the system of voting by
states, movement for popular election
of president and vice-president has been
inevitable.
The events of 1888 and the probabilities
of the next few years add greatly to the
force of the agitation for national cleo
toral reform. New states will soon be ad-
United, each with sparse population, but
with equality of senatorial votes, to assert
superiority over an equal number of
citizens in any large state and thus con-

A LEADING republican journal of Detroit
Gays: "The northern republicans would
find no difficulty in accepting an alliance
with the southern white people. They
would gladly accept the soutLs-n white
vote in lieu of the colored vote. Nor,
provided the white vote we're cast for the
republican purity, would they have any
further care or curiosity as to whether the
colored vote was csst or not" This is
plain talk for the colored people who for
go many years have bllndly followed the
lead of white republicans, who care moth
ing whatever for the colored people except
for their votes. The sffliation of
the white republican With the colored
republican is not a matter of principle,
but one of eIpedlency. The action Of
the democrats, and especially the demo-
crsts of Texas, towards the colored peo-
pie has been governed by spiri. Of lofty
the greater portion Of the taxes Of this
state are paid by democrats, and since the
election Of Governor Coke in 1874 the
democratic party has controlled our state
legislation, and yet, during this period Of
about fourteen years the schools of Texas
for the education of colored children have
received about five millions Of dollars of
school taxes.

TIE silver lining to the political clouds

CHURCH SOCIAL.

The general invitation by the
ladies of the Central Union Church
to the public, to attend social in
the parlors of the church last night,
brought out quite large audience.
The first part of the evening was de-
voted to music and literary exer-
cises, in which the ladies of the
church took part. The reading of
humorous article by Mrs. B. f.
Dillingham; on the misuse of pro-
nouns,-in which Mrs. Fucker,
the mare Betsy, and Mrs. fuckers
girl Bessie get inextricably mixed, -
kept the audience in laugh from
beginning to end. This piece closed
the exercises, after which refresh
ments consisting of coffee, cakes
etc., were passed around, while
social converse flowed freely until
the clock admonished those present,
that the hour for closing had ar
rived, when the guests departed
thoroughly pleased with the very
efficient manner in which the affair
had been conducted.

the BAND CONCERT.

The Complimentary Concert given
by the band at the Hawaiian Hotel
last night, to the officers of the
warships in port, was grand sue
cess. The grounds and front of the
Hotel were brilliantly illuminated
with colored lanterns and electric
light. The spacious vcrandah were
thronged with ladies and gentlemen,
while the grounds presented an
animated appearance; with group
of people who preferred walking
and listening to the music, to the
more confined positions on the YER
andah's. The music was exception
ally fine, and judging from the fire.
quent bursts of applause was greatly
appreciated. The peculiar feature
of the concert was the playing of
the national airs of the four nations
represented by the men-of-war
officers, viz: American, England,
Russia and Japan; ending with Ha-
wall Ponoi. While these airs were
being played the assembly stood UNI
concerned remaining so until the
last strains of Hawaii Ponoi had
died out.

PORTUGUESE CRITICISM.

EDITOR BULLETIN: - clubbing
attacks on the Portuguese element
here seems to be becoming chro-
mic disease of the Gazette. For
tunately it is the only newspaper so
afflicted; and so, of course, it will
be the only one that will have to re-
greet it at some future date.
1t is an insult-that will never be
forgotten-to our whole colony, to
sarcastically suggest as subject
for discussion in our debating club,
the fact of our Portuguese settlers
being able to save such sums of
money as they do, with the insinua-
ton that such savings are not
honestly earned.
l refer to an item in the "Ga-
zette's" issue of yesterday. In the
first place, how does the Gazette"
know if those who are leaving these
shores have been in the country
four or five years, or eight or nine
In the second place, have not the
Portuguese as much right to save
their earnings and leave the coun-
try whenever they please, as any
body else who does the same? And
how is it that it is not a fit matter
for discussion in our debating club
how people of other nationalities
acquire wealth?
When the Gazette" refers to
one-out of eighty-four who left by
last steamer-as being said to have
$1,000, lis that intended as criterion
of the rest?

SOUTH SEA ISLES.
ONE VIEW OF THEIR SEIZURE BY
GREAT BRITAIN.

Washington, April 24.--The al
legged seizure by British vessels of
certain small islands in the Pacific
ocean is probably no seizure at all,
but simply protection to the British
subjects occupying them, as Ameri-
can citizens occupy others. A gen.
tleman who is visiting Washington,
who occupies several such islands,
says:
ga certain Mr.. Arundel, repre-
senting Houlder Brothers in Lon
don, has had for many years these
islands under the protection of the
British flag, and has worked them
for the deposits of guano. After
removing these deposits he has
planted cocoanut trees, and think
it very probable that this was done
under the same theory of occupa-
ton as that under which the British
Government granted him protection.
A Scotchman named Gregg some
thirty years ago went farming on an
island, and it became his by right
of possession. lie lived there with
a few natives, raised family, and
for many years made cocoanut oil,
which he shipped to Honolulu for
sale. i fancy that if anything has
been done it is merely to continue
the protection OF the British flag to
Gregg and his successors. Penrhyn
is an island which Arundel had in
his possession under the British flag.
Christmas island has large area,
with few cocoanut trees at one
end, but with no guano deposits on
it of any value. The island has nc
possible value for the future save in
cocoanuts. IFS. +. Chronicle,

MATERIALS FOR STREET RAIL
ROAD,

The Ferris S. Thompson which
arrived yesterday, brought lot of
tools and other materials purchased
by Mr.. Gribble in San Francisco,
for the first breaking of ground for
the Street Railroad, and we learn
that Notwithstanding the non-arrival
of q portion of the Rail material
from Sydney, (viz the fish plates)
work will commence next week on
the King street road at the Palama
end, and half mile of road will be
Immediately constructed running
from about the vicinity of the Soap
Works, to Kawaiahao church-this
will consume the 60 tons of rails
brought by the Alameda, and work
will then necessarily be delayed until
the arrival of the ship load of rails
and material due in about %
months. We believe 1t is the inten-
ton of the company to operate at
once. The half mile of road after
its completion, and it will no doubt
pay to do so, as King street is such
busy thoroughfare. 1t is said
that tue next piece of road to be
built will be along Alakea street,
from King street down to the wharf.
Why this hot, dusty, out-of-the-way
street has been decided on, we are
at loss to imagine, but as the main
traffic from the wharf, (say from the
Oceanic Steamship Co.. wharf), is
up Fort street, and particularly as
the rails are to be laid flush with the
street and no inconvenience can re-
suit to carriage or other vehicle traf-
fic, we would by all means recon-
mend change of the line to Fort
street, intersecting King, thence
along to Richard to Beretania,
thence to Nuuanu, down Nuuanu
intersecting King street again. This
would encompass the city nicely.
