FIRE THIS MORNING.

At fifteen minutes past two
O'Clock this morning an alarrA of
fire disturbed our residents from
their slumbers. 1t was very evil
dent from the reflection in the sky
that it was large one. 1t occurred
in an unoccupied cottage near the
Pohukaina school between Punch
bowl and Likelike streets. When
the fire department arrived the
house was completely enveloped in
flames and the surrounding property
was in great danger. However, the
firemen when they got water worked
with will and soon had the flames
under control. The interior of j..
l.. Torbert's cottage was considera-
bly, damaged by excessive heat.
The burned house was owned by
Acheong and had been unoccupied
for long time. The origin of the
fire is unknown but it is supposed
to have been caused by soldiers,
who the neighbors say, used to visit
the premises at all hours of the
night. A large crowd of people
turned out to see the fire.

FRIDAY, NOV 80, 1888.
THIS is MILITARY.

EDITOR BuLLETIN:-In an issue
of the Advertiser" of the 29th
there appeared letter from Major
Hebbard, in regard to the way Com
pany G of that battalion had been
insulted. As for the shooting con-
test, / have found that L was misin-
formed, and therefore must apollo
gise. But, as to the right of the
line l contend that Company G is
senior according to Upton, "the
authority" If Major Hebbard will
turn to page Isl of Upton's Tactics,
he will find this paragraph in forma-
tion of the battalion: Companies
whose Captains are absent, are
posted in line according TO the rela-
tive rank of officers present to COM
mand them. At the discretion of
the Colonel, a company whose Cap
tain is about for few days only,
may retain his place according to
his rank" You see, it don't say
4 months, only few days. Ac-
cording to this paragraph, Company
c is the ranking company.
This is military, and if we are
going to be military let it be so.

EXHIBITION OF ARMADA RELICS.

In the Grand Saloon of Drury
Lane Theatre, London, there is at
the present time an exhibition of
relics of the Spanish Armada and
of the times of Queen Elizabeth
generally. The exhibition was
opened on Oct. "a by the Earl of
Winchilsea and Nottingham, des-
cendant of Sir Christopher Hatton,
Ellzabeth's Chancellor. DIR. Drake,
descendant of the old sea fighter,
was present. The exhibits comprise
about 500 articles. 1t is remark
able that SO large number should
be collectable after the lapse of
three centuries. In addition to the
relics of the Armada itself and per
sonal belongings of the heroes who
helped to scatter it, there are arms
and armor, books, pictures, auto

etaphs, and an extensive collection
OF prints. A crimson-velvet robe,
which belonged TO Elizabeth, is dis
played in glass case to itself. A
Spanish torture-chair and accessor-
les of the torture room, which came
from chamber of the Inquisition
at Cuenca, where they were dis
covered about ten years ago, are
among the exhibits. Several treas
ure-chests, real works of art, with
intricate locks, are among the
Armada effects. Whole suits Of
siXteenth-century armor show that
the Englishmen of that day were
considerably smaller in stature thar

THE LAND QUESTION:

EDITOR BULLETIN: = The land
owners just as well as anybody else,
like to see their properties pay
handsomely; how then do they
leave thousands of acres of land be-
tween the sugar and the grazing
belt vague? Because their cultiva-
tion would cost money and trouble,
and they have their share of both in
their sugar plantations and ranches.
But would they not do the duty
of good citizens by looking a little
into the benefit of the country, and
of their fellow men, especially as
their interest would be one with
that Of the community? Allow me
to explain my views on the subject.
Where there is cattle the forests
disappear, and the rainfall diminish
es. Now, the water question in
Hawaii is one not to be overlooked,
as the complaints of drought, are
every year more numerous, and the
want or rain may impair our sugar
industry in the near future.
The remedy for this state of af-
fairs would be the planting of valu-
able forest trees, (the cork tree, for
instance, could be tried with great
probability of success). But as
that enterprise would require labor
ers to whom the employers could
not give constant work, they ought
to sell to them distributed over their
properties, and on the installnent
basis, lots of about twenty acres,
at the lowest possible figure, say at
their acquisition price, so that the
small proprietors might take care of
the growing forests and fences,
beside raising On their own lands,
corn, beans, potatoes, pigs, and
poultry, products which We know do
thrive on our high lands, and will
always find ready market, especi-
ally amongst our 1900 Portuguese,
who live in their country mainly on
the two first articles. Moreover,
our planters would find there an
ample supply of horse feed, as those
animals do well on corn and horse
beans.
Finallyas our small farmers would
raise all, or more pork than the
country could consume, no more
bacon or ham ought to be imported.
This would cause cheap living, and
Nas q consequence, cheap labor,
create new industries, and give the
SO much needed farmers and perma'
nent residents; in word transform
Hawaii into a real Eden.
Part of the now useless land!
would produce fire wood, lumber
or fruit, and the other part woulC
after few years be eagerly LEASED
by the neighboring farmers, ant
the properties would increase
hundred fold in value.
A word more, and / finish. Coulo
the Go yernment not do somethin!
in the homestead line, by selling o
rather giving, (that country bens
now desert) GLANDS in the distric
between Pololu and Waipio, and il
order to attract settlers build al
hydraulic elevator ON both sides o
Pololu gulch, advancing gradual,
when needed? The present brida
path will'do for man and beast, bu
not for lumber or products, and a
water is at hand, the benefit woul'
well repay the expense of building
Under the Gibsonian period {
petition signed by over hundret
names was sent to the Legislator,
but little or no notice was taken o
it. Can we not expect better from
the Reform Party? CIvIs.

Prospects Bright.
Special Correspondence Of nc RegtGer.
.FAIRNoNT, March 20.-'After the
blizzard the campaign" is a very apt
phrase and a timely one, for before the
chirp Of the blue-bird announces the adj
vent Of spring" the can't and palayer Of
the politician, and the soft soap Of the
candidate bring to our ears the wOetul
sound of, approaching political conflict.
Candidates in this county will be as
numerous as hOTsehies in August. OF
course there are good ones and bad ones,
but there is q disposition this year to get
good men for ali the offices.
For the offices that are worth
having, there are plenty Of good men Of
fering and it issafe to say that our officers
next year will be good ones. Our Repub'
lican friends seem to be training Hugh X.
Linn for the S~herifEalty, and he would be
a strong candidate and 8 good Sheriff, but
his son, Harry G.. Linn, is an aspirant for
Prosecutor Meredith's place, and, OF
course, You know that two 2 kind make a
pair, and pairs don't 20 in politics. Harry
stands a better show than his father, for
the old gentleman is not built on the fusion
plan and might not, therefore. suit all
hands. Capt Pritehard is also spoken OF,
but the tall form Of our friend Carney
makes the Captain quake and If he should
run Carney might be induced to
give him another hustle, but the
latter will not be - candidate, We
learn, except in case Of emergency. Mr..
Meredith will accept the Republican nOmi-
nation il it is offered to him on a silver
salver, and our new-tlsdged legal friend, +.
Will Pierpont, would not object TO taking
it. VIII is the most capable person on the
Republican side who is menti ned for the
place. lie has good legal training and isa
very bright young man Of good promise.
The only Democrat so far spoken Of IN
connection with the C1ice is Jas. A. Hag-
gerty, who is q candidate for the nOmina-
ton. He is a lawyer Of wide experience,
and would be an excellent and acceptable
Officer il elected. We cOuld go a little far
Their and fare much worse. Four good Dem
Ocrats are mentioned for Sheriff: F.. ri. Mer-
edith, John C. Martin, J. W. Swisher and
John Linn. Either Of them can he elected
with a proper effort. and either would
make a frst-elass officer. And Ia cap
the climax" ~ Col. Ben Wilson Gays, We
see that Thomas w. Fleming has been
interviewed ont West and has carried the
State for the Republicans by a large ma
iority. Tom declared recently that he
would not give a single dollar to carry
this State for any body. lie had asked TO
90 the Legislature once and they would
not let him aud he did not care Il picayune
for politics. But Tom is one Of the wheel

about tariff like-the old woman out West

THE NEW

A Reply to the Remarks of "fubllcola.'
To ne Editor Of he Register:
SIR would term your correspondent,
"PublicOla, " q clam with ideas contracted
and confined +. the narrow limits of the
sand or mud in which he came into eXis'
lance. In the first place lie starts out to
impeach the better judgement of the mem
bers of the Water Board, who know their
business, and have made the water supply OF
this city their study ever since the in
PRODUCTION of the Board system. Also
the City Council have had the new
reservoir under consideration for six years
or more, and 43 out of Al voted for the
enterprise. But l suppose the clam never
heard of il before as he dwells in the mud,
and at this late day he wants some one tn
enlighten him in regard to the needs of an
improved water supply. Mr.. Clam, If
you will hold your head out Of the mud a
little while, l will inform you that about
20 per cent. of the citizens Of the First
ward have not got adequate water supply,
with a good portion OF the Second ward
and all ,he elevated portion Of the city
running to the extreme southern part
of the city. The argument the
clam brings 10 bear, is that the
people who built upon high ground
knew when they built that they were
above water, and 80 therefore they should
BE- content with their lOt, and not turn
Anarchist and upset the city government.
Now, MIR. Editor, why would not this az
gument hold GOOD when Wheeling was first
being built. People then used tallow
candles for light, wells aud water barrels
for water supply, and the people knew
when they built on Market and Main
streets, that there was no water or PAS
pipe laid to supply them with water or
gus; therefore, according TO the argument,
the people should nave been content and
never built water works, gas works and
brick payemsnts. The money to bnild
the new reservoir Is now in the hands Of
the Water Board, accumulated from water
rent, and not from taxes on real estate or
personal property, "a the gentleman would
have you to believe. And a large portion
Of this fund was paid by citizens in the
way Of water rent who have not got
adequate water supply. Furthermore l
will sag TO the public that the new reser-
voir has had the careful study of COM
petent gentlemen, ~ regards the ex-
penditure OF money and the needs Of the
people. / need not say that the gentle
men | refer 10 are prominent city officers
and tax payers. In conclusion, Mr..
Editor, | will say "Publicols" made
. personal attack on n Councilman who
oSni~ property on elevated ground. Now,
all l have to say is "PublicOla" wants TO
measure my corn in his bushel measure,
and because he is dishonest ha wants to
make out that the City Council and Water
Board have a job on hand because they
wish to give the people water supply.

THE Cincinnati Commercial GdzsHr dis,
poses of Judge GRESHAM as a Presidential
possibility in the following highly compli-
mentary hammer. IL may be good cam,
plign material for the Democrats who are
under deep obligations to the gazette for
its artistic revelation OF Judge GREsHAM's
record:
"He started in. public life a. a Know
nothing, adjourned Court in 1876 to come
10 Cincinnati to fight Morton, and has not
denied the charge made by the Evansville
Courier that he voted for Tilden. He was
understood 10 entertain the same free trade
views that c~aptIvated George w. Julian
and Senator Mcdonald, and when in Ar
thurs Cabinet be ~antagOnized every Re-
Publican Congressman in that State and
wouldn't go home 10 vote. He offended
the Grand Army in the Paul Yandery OOTt
ease, and offended public sentiment in the
driven we'll business, and be has made i'm
plaCable foes at once OF the wOrkingmeu
aud the mOneyed men, 80 that on one side
il would be impossible 10 raise the money
to carry on a campaign with him and the
vote OF the labor organizations would be
solid against him"
Judge GRESHAM ranks among the pure
men Of his party. From the GdzeHcs
standpoint he is not an available cEndi-
date. But when we look over the field we
are prompted to inquire Who are the avail
able Republican candidates, anyhow?

ONE of the most significant discussions
that has occurred in the present English
ParI ament was on thu Eagl Of ROssberry's
resolution to appoint q committee to in
vestigsts tho constitution OF the House OF
Lords. The resolution WAS defeated by 3
vote of fifty to niucty-seyen. No n ex-
pected thai such q democratic idea would
meet with high favor in the very strong
hold Of English sriatOcracy. The vote it
self is sufficient TO alarm the mummies of
TOrydom that haunt the chamber Of the
upper house. The debate was more sig
nihcant.
The spectacle Of q young English no
bleman successfully advocating such a res.
olutiOn against the leaders of the COnServa-
tive government vino could only offer the
plea of e~xpediency in defense Of their pO-
sitiOn, is ~pOrtentious of the final abolition
of those legislative privileges to which the
English upper class has 80 teuaCiously
clung Eugland has Outgrown the hered-
itary principle in legislation. Her law
makers are now practically e~lsctiye. The
first occasion on which the fossilized relics
Of the House of Lords oppose themselves to
the popular will, will be the signal for
wiping out this anomaly in English pol
titles.

To TIE Editor Of he Register:
SIR:-Please allow me through the col
umus of your paper to speek word ior the
Seventh ward. While the Council Com
mittee on Finance are struggling with the
estimates and trying TO ascertain in what
way the city's money can be used to the
best advantage, and before the matter IS
finally settled, it would be well for them
10 take a look at the almost impossible
condition of Vermont street. This IS The
street that was doomed last year, and
houses sprung up like mushrooms to the
amount of about $50. 900 or $35, 600 within
the distance of square, which pays a hig
revenue in the city's treasury. .
The street is short, and it would not
take a large sun Of money TO fill up and
give the grade, which would render the
street passable.
Three or four more hons will he built,
but the parties are hesitatil g on account oil
the slowness of the city to help improve.
Last fall two lamp-posts were asked for,
but were rot granted, and the result was
a dark, muddy street for the people to feel
their way through all winter.
By the way, there is another contem'
plated boom on a street on the old Far
Grounds, but it is impossible to get TO
work there until some water pipes are
laid, for water is indispensable to the
stonemasOns, bricklayers and plasterers in
in building.
While the State booming is going on, let
not the little bOOms at home be overlooked.

WHEN the Republican party came into

second commercial nation OF the earth.
Oar ship-owners boosted q merchant ma
rins which bore the American flag into
every foreign port. From 1868 to 1881
the tonnage Of all nations at the ports Of
the United States increased from 3 ,S26, 92T
to Is, $50, 413 tons. Ia 1860 it was $780,

The California Republican who proposes
that the Republican convention shall not

genius. His idea is to adopt aPlatfOrm, and
let the Republicans in each State nominate
their fayOrite. Iteach candidate could carry
his own State, the party weuld have con-
troll OF the electoral college. The sugg9s-
ton is a brilliant one. The only objection
that can be urged is the painful lack Of
votes necessary to carry the several States.
That's small matter, but it is worth con-
