THE DAILY
SATURDAY, AUGUST 25, 1888.

THE Bulletin is in a state of great excite
ment because we said that Kauhane and
Kalaukoa were the only native members
who voted for the Leprosy bill. We
knew perfectly we'll that Richardson,
Mcguire and Daniels voted for the bill,
but we did not happen to think of them
as natives. OF course the classification
is not important, but when it comes to a
question of accuracy, they may just as
properly be classed among foreigners as
natives. We believe the three gentle
men taken together derive just as much
blood from their fathers as from their
mothers, it may be presumed, and their
names are all foreign. Everyone knows
that in questions of mixed nationality,
it is very natural to class according to
the name. 1t is more natural to class
according to the nationality of the
fathers than of the mothers. The whole
question is unimportant, but if these
gentlemen think we intended to misre-
present them, of course we regret it.

THE MAIL SERVICE.
Statements of the Auckland Press
Interview with a New Zealand
Legislator.

The latest from New Zealand regard,
ing the prospect of a renewal of sub
sidy to the San Francisco mail route is
as follows:
The Auckland Herald monthly sum
mary per Mariposa says: "The whole
question of the mail services is to be de-
bated within few days. The Auckland
members are unanimous in the desire
that the San Francisco service should be
continued. It is far more speedy than
any other service, while the whole OF
the subsidy is recouped by the postage
paid. A number of the members of the
House of Representatives, however, are
interested in the New Zealand Shipping
Company, and they are agitating to
withdraw the subsidy from the San
Francisco service, and to transfer it to
the direct boats"
The Auckland Star says it is under
stood that the Cabinet "Will bring down
alternative proposals, designed to satisfy
the cry for retrenchment and at the same
time give the colony efficient service
Their proposals will include service via
San Francisco; a weekly service by WaV
of Australia, Suez and Brindisi; and a
fortnightly service by the direct steamers
now plying between England and New
Zealand. The service by Australia would
be most economical, as mail subsidies
would be entirely abolished were it
adopted; but it is possible that senti-
ment may so far sway hon. members
that they will prefer to pay a substantial
sum in order to secure the colony SER
vice of its own, with all the commercial
and other advantages contingent there
on"
A Wellington, n H., dispatch says the
British Government are willing to con-
tribute to substituting the British Column
bia route but not the San Francisco.
The ADVERTISER reporter had an inter
esting conversation at the Hawaiian
Hotel with Hon. DIR. Grace, member of
the Legislative Council of New Zealand,
upon this subject and general affairs of
that country. DR.. Grace was very posi-
tive in the opinion that the subsidy
would not be renewed. New Zealand
was very liberal in steamship subsidies,
at present giving subventions to no less
than four direct lines-two fast and two
slow ones-besides that to the American
line. The subsidies for the mails were
divided between the two fast lines,
thus securing fortnightly service, and
the San Francisco service was really
not necessity. Prospects of a line con-
Meeting with the Canadian Pacific Rail
way also were such as to make against
the renewal of the Oceanic subsidy.

NIT of giving in this issue the interesting
facts and figures quoted by the honorable
gentleman regarding his country. DR.
Grace is accompanied by his wife and
three daughters, bound for the grand
tour of America and Europe. Although
he is accredited as a representative of
his Government at the Paris Exhibition,
New Zealand is not going to have an
exhibit there.

EVERYONE who attended the meeting
of the nominating Convention the other
night must fex That in spite of certain
suggestion of uemagogism about it, it
still furnished most encouraging signs
for the political future of this country
The immense enthusiasm which pre-
vailed, the widely difused interest which
showed itself, the size of the crowd in
attendance, all mark the beginning of a
new political era. A great drawback to
the political progress of the country hith-
erto, has been the fact that the class of
people who have had political weight,
and who have taken any part or felt any
interest in the government of the coun-
try, has, outside of the Hawaiians, been
exceedingly small. 1t has practically
consisted solely or chiefly of the early

We believe that the best interest of
the country will ultimately be forwarded
by the rise into power of this new ele-
ment. We rejoice heartily that the
mechanics and retail traders and the
young men of Honolulu generally have
made themselves felt as a political force.
Here in Honolulu this class constitutes
a large fraction of the voting population.
1t is very fond of shouting, Down with the
missionaries, without having any clear
idea what that means, but the rank and
file of this class we believe are the
friends of sound and honest government.
As long as they stick to that, it makes no
great difference what they shout. No
one who cares to perpetuate the pros
perity of the country can wish to exclude
these voters from power. The fact that
they are awake and grasping after it, is
one of the most hopeful signs of the
times. 1t was the deafness of the for
eign population which has constituted
the weakness of the country. Their be-
coming awake and alive is, after making
every proper deduction, it's hope and its
strength. There are great many worse
things in the world than government by
"the boys" although we confess we do
not want ''the boys" to do all the gov
erning. The fact that the young men
turned out so largely at the convention
Saturday night is matter for general con-
Ia
forming, and that means that ideas and
principles are becoming active and gen
orally diffused.

What reused the foreign population
into political activity was the fact that
the administration became bad enough
to touch their pockets. The result was
the political agitation of the few became
general, and the revolution followed.
The new Constitution recognized the
work of the many who helped to make
it, and introduces an entirely new ele-
ment into politics, the votes, viz, of the
whole foreign population, except the
Chinese. The result is that political
interest is no longer confined to the few,
but generally diffused. This it is which
makes conventions, and political parties
themselves, possible.

settlers of the country and their children.
This class has been too small, and has
had too little numerical weight at the
polls to counteract the influence which
unprincipled adventures have been en-
abled to exercise over the native vote.
The result was that the government fell
into the hands of these adventures, who
were the only persons who were despic-
able enough to play into the hands OF
the King. In the meantime the great
mass of foreigners here, the small traders
and mechanics, were politically dead.
They knew and cared nothing about the
conduct of affairs. The white men on
the other hand who really did care (the
old residents of the country were but a
small minority, and lacked the numbers,
and some of them the spirit, to bring
about a revolution.

in the prison at South Jacksonville. The
killing occurred on April 10, 1887. Warner
was also an inmate of the institution, and
the two were employed in the shoe shop.
They euarreled about some trivial matter,
and Warner announced bis intention OF
getting even. A few minutes before the
cutting took place Warner was observed to
so to the grindstone with q shoe knife and
grind it to a rnzor's sharpness. Warner
passed down the aisle TO Harris, and with
out warning made a quick slash with the
knife, cutting Harris neck, severing the eI-
ternal iugular vein.
The latter was q noted criminal and
