LIVE QUESTIONS.

The man Trainor died under cir
cumstances which excited indigna-
tion in this community. The mat
ter has been ventilated in the Bull
LETIN, editorially and by correspon-
dence. Other communications have
been withheld from publication, be-
cause it was understood that the
case was being investigated by the
authorities. Now, is it not about
time that the public knew the result
of the investigation?
Is it right and reasonable to sub
ject the entire community to the in
conveninnce, annoyance and expense
entailed by our passport system, be-
cause it is favored by a few trades
people, who are too ready to give
credit to extravagant customers on
the strength of its security? If so,
then let it be henceforth understood
that the minority takes precedence
of the majority.

A QUEER COMMI,NITy.

ESsSH
This is a queer community. 1t is
made up of so many nationalitios
that cohesion is scarcely TO be eX-
pected. Every man-at least every
native Hawaiian and'overy European
and American foroigncr--is more Or
less politician.
The theoretical politics of the
foreigner are determined largely by
his nationality. If he is an Ameri-
can, he thinks American methods are
the best for Hawaii; if any English
man, he prefers the English way;
and so on to the end of the chapter.
There may be few men in the
country, of different nationalities,
who realise that our conditions are
peculiar, and that to adopt the poll
tical system of any other country in
its entirety would be folly. But the
majority have not advanced so far.
Political parties, in the American
or English sense, do not exist here.
Cliques and factions we have. Par
ties in the United States, Germany,
France, Great Britain, and other
countries are understood to be based
on views of state policy, not on
personal interest. We cannot truly
say that such is the case in Hawaii
nei.
Practical politics here seem to be
regulated mainly by self-interest ;
that is, a man favors the faction OF
person considered most likely to
benefit directly in a business OF
financial sense himself or friends,
although the broad principle of "the
greatest good to the greatest num-
ber' may be thereby ignored. Hence
we find.a man bitterly opposed to
one set of men In power, ostensibly
because they do wrong acts, and
then warmly supporting another set,
although they may commit the same
acts.
The natural inference is, that the
quality of the acts is determined by
the men, and may be expressed
thus: If / do not like the men-and
if they do not work into my hands
l cannot like them-their acts are.
per Sc, diabolical; but if l do like
them-and if they bring "grist to
my mill'' cannot help liking them
their acts are, per Sc, heavenly.
This explains why man of princi-
pie who strenuously objected to GER
tain doings under the old regime,
and consistently declines to endorse
similar doings under the new, should
be considered o false and unreliable
man. Truly, this is q queer com
munity, and we have but faint hope!
of its ever becoming otherwise.

AUSTRALASIAN MAIL MATTERS.

A passenger by the steamship
Alameda, from San Francisco, in
forms us that report was current
in that city to the effect that the
mail contract, existing between the
Governments of New South Wales
and New Zealand, and the Oceanic
Company, would not be renewed
after its expiration in November
next. Overtures for carrying the
mails between the Australian Colo
nies and England, have been for
some time in progress by represent
atives of the Canadian Pacific Rail-
way Syndicate in Australia, and
these overtures are now reported to
have been successfully arranged.
Negotiations of reciprocity treaty
of trade between Australia and
Canada are also known TO be in
active progress, with much appear
ance of success sooner or later; and
the facilities afforded by direct
steam communication, between these
two British dependencies, will
doubtless hasten a convention of
reciprocity. 1t is yet, it appears,
uncertain whether San Francisco
will be made way-port of the new
line or be left out altogether; but
tits tolerably certain that, if the re-
ported change of contract is made,
Vancouver, B. c., will be the
northern terminus of the steamship
line, and that Honolulu will con-
tinue to be way port as at present.

AUTHORIZATION.
EDITOR BULLETIN:- =

Now if prohibition decreases tax
alton it certainly ought to do so in
the banner prohibition state, Maine,
but we find the contrary to be the
case. In 1880 there were paid in
taxes in that State, $5,182, 1885,
equal to $7.98 to each person; while
in 1860 in the same State the whole
tax only amount to $3.50 (S2, ,257,-
213), per capita, or less than one
half what they had to pay after
the State passed under the control
of the prohibitionists. (See U. S.
Statistics, Vol. 2, p. 1909
Missouri received in taxes in 1860
81, 100, ,G53, equal to S3.40 for each
person in 1880 $40, 1863, ,736, equal
to S4.73 to each person.
In 1880 debt of Maine S34.55
per capita; Missouri, $2G.50 per
capita; Ohio, Sl4 per capita. See
U. $. Statistics, vol. ?, p. 552.
From the above facts you will see
that pauperism is not only greater
in prohibition States, but taxes are
higher and the State debt larger in
proportion to population than in
liberal States.
Let us examine some school sta
tistics;
Maine in 1850, populace 5S3, 1863; (;
school attendance, 1856, ,222; per
cent, 81. In 1860, populace 62S,-

PURE INTELLIGENCE AND VUL-
GARlTY.

EDITOR BULLETIN: The youthful
and caustic editor of the Daily "P.
G. Advertiser" hasreceived q shock.
A paroXism of modification racked
his enlarged and cultured intellect,
because that esteemed lady Mrs.
Williams attracted so small an
audience to her first lecture.
In q burst of puerile and i'm
potent rage he proceeds to castigate
and malign all who did not attend.
Those who were present (inolud-
ing the wrathful tyro) possessed
''pure intelligence;" the absent
were vulgar" betrayed their pro-
vinciality," and "lack of genuine
culture" in fact were ''barbar-
ians."
Such ranting not only evinces
want of taste and good breeding,
but tends to injure the success of a
course of lectures which are of a
high order of merit.

State the per cel,t of school attend
ance was for 1850, 20; 1860, %;
1870, 20; 1880, 20.
New Hampshire still another pro-
hibition State shows school attend
ance as follows: 1850, 27 per cent;
1860, 25; 1870, 20; 1880, 1S.
From the above it will be seen that
school attendance fell off during
prohibition. Legislation in Maine
20 per cent; in Vermont 81 per
cent, and New Hampshire 33 per

4S6, ,002, per cent %, showing con-
tinual increase of school attendance.
Prohibitionists assert that prohi-
bition is the great highway to pros
perity, let us SO whether this is Il
fact or not.
Maine in 1850, population $685.
l69, manufactured products S2l,-
61,057. In 1880, population 64S,-
435, manufactured products $79,-
S29, ,703.
New Jersey, where saloon is to
be found on every corner, had in
1850 4S9, ,555 population, or nearly
100000 less than Maine, yet her
manufactured products were worth
$50, 1851, ZIG; in 1880 she had a
population of 1,131, ZIG, and her
products brought $254, ,390,236
Connecticut had in 1880 ZOO
people, and manufactured $685.
09S,211 worth of products, or more
than twice as much as Maine, and
so the comparison will hold in almost
every State. As where the just free
dom of the people is suppressed, ,and
the affairs of State managed by the
fanatical clement of selfishness and
egotism always displayed by the
leaders of the prohibition party
enterprise is killed. Prohibition has
always failed of accomplishing what
its advocates claimed for it, and now
they put on face of boldness and
assert everything but prove nothing,
Even in this country since the
issuance of so many licences during
the two years just past the crimes
committed have decreased by S32
that is S32 more crimes were com.
mitted when only q few licences
were issued and all of them in Homo.

The liquor business in all of it;
