A POEM.

BY A RAILROAD MAN.
What's the use of kicking,
When your stomach's full of pie;
A big laugh you'd better tackle,
For tomorrow you may die.
But if your refrigerator's empty,
And your vest is getting loose,
Its time to fight, by thunder,
Or hold up the flag of truce.
Stop, my friend, there is way,
To fix your vest without-a krlncle;
Go call upon your Uncle Jesse,
He'll put you on the wrinkle.
Uncle Jesse's curious chap,
I've seen him stand and boiler,
With solid silver watch and chain
And it only brought dollar.
We trade with Uncle Jesse
AS we find him straight apd square,
If we really need dollar
We are sure to get it there.
We often thought his business
Would fill man with gall;
But when Emerson finds us worthy
He's got cash enough for all.

tanning twenty cells, will be added on
the southerly or seaward side OF tn
present yard. \ drain about one hun
dred feet long will lead from the kitchen,
hospital, etc, into the sea. The amount
appropriated by the Legislature for the
above described Improvements was
$4,6S9. This appropriation was based
upon estimates prepared for the purpose
by the Public Works Department. We
consider 1t a matter of regret that the
Ministry did not see their way to ask for
a larger amount, with a view to increas-
ing still further the cell accommodation.
Even with the proposed addition, it will
still be necessary to lodge a considerable
portion of the prisoners two in a cell, an
arrangement which is considered objec-
tionabIe by most authorities on prison
management. However, with the kind
of material of which most of our prison
population is composed, this, probably,
is not a matter of as much consequence
as where they have to deal with felons
of a more desperate class. "Profes-
sional" criminals of the more dangerous
kinds are very scarce in this country.

Police Court.

MONDAY, Nov. y.
There were six fines and forfeitures
for drunkenness.
Frank Jolva, pleading guilty to selling
goods without license, was fined $43, or
in default 40 days at hard labor. Appeal
noted.
Waahila (w), disturbing quiet of the
night, forfeited $40.
Maaele (w), released without trial
from change of selling liquor without
license. A. F. de MatO, released after
hearing from same charge.
John Brown, pleading guilty to furious
and needless driving, $21.
Thomas King, same charge as last,
discharged, as not fully identified. JUS
tice Dayton remarked, in reference to
the latter two cases, that it would be a
benefit to the public if the proper auth
ority refused to renew the licenses of
drivers proved guilty of fast driving. He
also observed that he should regard the
driving round a corner faster than a
walk as "heedless and furious driving"
within the meaning OF the statute.

Reply to Mechanic.
Lihue, Nov. 10, 1888.

Mr.. EDITOR: In your late issue we
noticed a communication from Lahaina
signed " Mechanic" which refers to
schoolhouse, stone walls and roads. If
we knew the writer, would send doctor
to visit him at once; for having studied
and worried so hard in his mountain
home, over private and public business,
may entangle his brain and bring on a
disease some call money mania"
We feel to sympathize with our I'M
known friend, and are willing to assist
him to find out the cost of building the
stone fence referred to, and who paid for
it. We have recently built about one
and half miles of fence, 600 yards of
stone wall, the balance made of posts
and boards; inclosing POO or 800 acres OF
land and have paid out for this work
$3.50. The public road that passed over
this land, which is low and marshy, was
impossible part of the time.
The road now made to run along the
fence referred to, IS on good solid ground.
l am unable to give our unknown friend
the exact amount Of money paid out by
the road board for making this road, but
think about $500. To have made the
old road passable at all times, after being
fenced up, would have cost nearly $500.
We would here add that we have a road
board that has frequent public meetings,
which all citizens can attend to make
suggestions and get all the information
about cost of roads, ETC., they desire.

Reply to Spectator.

Mr.. EDITOR: In your issue of Nov
ember 9th | notice a letter from Hilo
signed Spectator. At the session of the
Appeal Board referred to there were no
spectators. The planters were not there
in that capacity, it was business with
them. The only one whose course needed
indicating was the late assessors, and
| think | am safe in stating that he and
Spectator" are one. He did not need
to start off with a fling at J. A. NJ, when
he is so far from the truth himself. AS
no other plantation about Hilo buys cane
from Portuguese or petty planters, am
the manager spoken of.
He says objected to an assessment of
800 per acre on four-ton cane, but would
buy from others at the rate of from $40
to $500 per acre. spectators" mem
DRY is as treacherous as his truth is de-
iective. l did not object to $3.50 on four
ton cane, but to 800 an acre. If l got
four tons [ would be willing to pay for it,
but when | only get three tons, and that
was last years returns at the mill, did
and do object most strongly. He goes
on 10 say that during CrOss-eXamina-
ton conducted by himself, admitted
buying cane from Portuguese at from
$40 to $3.50 per acre. There he is far
Off from the truth. 1 never have and
never said L bought by the acre. 1 buy
cane by the pound. But suppose did
buy at $40 per acre, it is bought when
we are grinding and may be worth it.
That is quite different from assessing
inn I'LL,
little or no sugar in it, as all men fam
liar with canes we'll know.
Why should Hilo district be assessed
on plant cane 800 per acre, where the
average is about three tons, and in the
adjoining district where the average is
about five tons the assessment is only
$50 per acre. Can Spectator prove
that they are paying one-half their pro-
portion toward the support of the Gov
eminent? G.. G.. KENNEDY.

THE DAILY
TUESDAY, NOVEMBER IS, 1883.

THROUGH the courtesy of the officials
of the Bureau of Public Works, we have
been shown the plans for the proposed
additions and alterations at the prison.
At the present time there is a large JOG
in one side of the prison yard. This will
be done away with by pulling down part
of the wall, and re-erecting it in such
way as to complete the quadrangle. BY
this change an additional area of nearly
five thousand square feet will be gained,
and space provided for some much
needed improvements. The present
kitchen, water-closets, and sheds will all
DC demolished, and replaced by new
structures at the extreme rear OF the
yard, close to the new line of wall. The
new closets, eight in number, will be
arranged for the dry earth system, which
has the highest endorsement from the
best sanitary engineers. The sheds,
with benches under them, will be for
the accommodation of prisoners when
confined on the premises on SUNDAYS.
holidays, or through the stress of
weather. The hospital, which is a frame
building, and can easily be moved, will
also go back on the same general line as
the structures above named, thus utiiz-
ing space which is now vacant, and
entirely useless. At the present time
the hospital accommodations for all pur-
poses are comprised in one common
ward. At the suggestion of the prison
physician, a small room will be added
10 the present building. This will be
used as a dispensary and storage place
for medical supplies. It will also afford
that privacy for examinations, opera
tions and so on, which is frequently desira-
bic, even in a prison. The old portion
of the prison proper will remain as at
present, but new two-story wing, con

THE JAPANESE MISSION.
Admission of Converts to the Christian
Church.

Church.
There was very interesting service at
the Lyceum Sunday morning. During
the last few weeks there has been an IL
creasing religious interest among the
Japanese residents in the city, who have
formerly been Indifferent or opposed to
Christianity. Those connected with the
Japanese store on King street were the
first to break away from their former re-
ligious connections, and avow themselves
believers in Christ. Others followed,
till twelve and more had come out and
taken their stand as witnesses of Chrlsts
saving power. After due examination,
it was decided that twelve, two OF them
women, should be baptized. A cOngre-
cation of nearly hundred Japanese, and
half as many others, members of the
Central Union Church, gathered at the
Lyceum Sunday morning. After a brief
address from Rev. K. Miyama, and short
testimonials from the candidates and
others, these twelve were baptized. The
Sacrament of the Lords Supper was
then administered to the company OF
Christian believers present, OF differing
nationalities and various church cOnnec-
tions. In administering the Sacrament
Rev. Mr.. Miyama was assisted by Rev.
DIR. Hyde, and the interesting services
closed with brief address and prayer
from Rev. S. E. Bishop.
The Japanese Y. NJ. G. A. held its
regular meeting last Saturday evening.
The various committees reported the
work done during the past month, $50
letters sent to various plantations on
Hawaii, the evening school well sustained

lem from Mr.. F. w. Damon, highly APP
preciated for it's graphic descriptions OF
his personal observations in the Holy
City. 1t was voted to send 1000 letters

and to observe this week as a season OF

That Prisoners Death at Hanalei.

Mr. EDITOR: In your issue OF Nov

self "Hanalei," tries to make the public
believe that prisoner named Mahoe
died in the Hanalei lookup, and that
previous to his death said prisoner was

as to allow him to obtain opium.
Now the truth of the whole matter Is
that no prisoner has died in the Hama

the island OF Kauai for year or more.

mentions was not a prisoner at the time
of his death, nor had been for over
