RAILROAD TRAVEL.
A Very Common, But Not Very Pleasan
Rpmiu1ar.

A Very Common, But Not Very Pleasant,
Reminder.
There is one reminder of the draw
backs of the railroad excursions which
give so much pleasure to people avail
ing themselves of them for small out
lay, in the notices posted up near the
ticket offices here in Boston and else
where OF the sale Of accident policies
of insurance. 1t is somewhat OF a
damper to the enjoyment with which a
person looks forward to vacation
tour TO be confronted with a schedule
of rates of compensation for injuries to
different parts of his body, which sug-
gests the possibilities of dismember-
ment which await him. In looking at
such schedule the pleasant thoughts
of the comforts of parlor cars gives
place to visions of ambulances
and hospitals. While every pru-
dent person is careful TO count
the cost OF his outings it
is not inspiring TO reckon the loss OF
limbs among them, even though the
pecuniary offset is put down in what
appears to be attractive figures. One
does not like at such a time TO be i'm
peeled TO estimate the money value OF
the deprivation OF what have come TO
be regarded as essential TO health and
enjoyment. And yet there are people
who take pleasure in forecasting tho
chances of railroad collisions which
will give them few hundred or thou
sand dollars as a compensation for
serious bodily injuries. 1t is fortunate
for the most persons who are in tho
habit of guar...ng against possible dan
gers of travel that their nervous sys-
TENS are not disturbed by the prudential
considerations which appeal to their
pockets.
believe that Mr.. Charles Francis
| Adams has said that the safest place
for person TO be is in a railroad train
going at forty miles an hour. Such an
assurance from such an authority
would seem to blight the prospects OF
accident insurance companies, and yet
the fact that costly disasters do occur
on even our best-managed railways
gives n field for profit TO such COM
panies by leading travellers TO consider
that their individual chances Of acct
dent are chiefly guarded against by
the investment Of few cents or dol
lars in these. policies. While l have
never been led to expend any portion
OF my hard earnings in procuring
luxuries OF this Sort can appreciate
the feelings OF persons who invest in
them with the conviction that they
are fulfilling a duty to themselves and

Defense of an Assessor.

Mr.. EDITOR: In last Tuesdays Ga
zette letter appears, v1lifying the
newly-appointed tax assessor of the Ha-
makua District, and setting forth that
the Hamakua people in general were
opposed to his appointment. Such is not
the case.
Mr.. Kaaekuaiwi is a very worthy
man, and has served the Government
on previous occasions. He will be as
sisted by Mr.. Chas. Williams, who is an
exceptionally intelligent man, and one
who speaks both native and English
huently.
Had your many subscribers " been
oppressed with g feelings of disgust - or
had the taxpayers " burned to q re-
sent the indignIty as Z" Reform " puts
it-there would doubtless have been
some objections raised to the appoint
meut at a meeting of plantation owners
and managers recently held at Honokaa.
But, as the subject was not referred to,
it may be assumed that the really re-
spectacle men, who pay the bulk of the
taxes, are as yet in no ways desperit''
and that Kinney is safe .

The Hamakua Temperance Society

The Hamakua Temperance Society.
Mr.. EDITOR: The 18th of June, 1883,
spent at Paauhau, Hamakua, Hawaii,
will be remembered with pleasure by
those who participated in its festivities.
The birthday of the temperance society
it was my privilege to form. For several
weeks earnest pleas had reached me
from special committees and private in
dividuals to be present on that occasion,
Offering to pay my expenses and send
an escort to conduct me thither. After
a rough voyage and few stormy days,
the morning of June 10Th broke clearer
than we feared. \ kind Providence
kept the impending rain at bay. By II
O'Clock the church was filled, the people
having gathered from Laupahoehoe, is
miles sonth, and Waimanu, as far north
The church was decorated with paalpa-
lac (ferns), awapuhi (the fragrant GIN
ger) and lovely flowers. Back of the
pulpit was worked "Aloha," bordered
on each side by Welcome" A decor
ated arch OF bamboo plants was over the
speakers. At the further end of the
church was 'sAlOha Ou<Ou." Fragrant
leaves and bright flowers were inter
woven and festooned from the four
corners OF the church, meeting in a cen
ter of beauty overhead. Our pathway
to the church was spread with the favor
ite palapalae and the sweet ginger, as
were the steps aud floor OF the pulpit
and so outside and inside Natures well
comes peeped from each nook and cor
ner, and ''Aloha Nui'' beamed from
every face Bonnie blue ribbons were
worn by all by many who had molly
resisted temptation, and had come off
victorious.
At my left presided Judge AIiau, the
President OF the Society. At a signal
from him, the audience rose, salams
were interchanged, Gods blessing was
invoked, and the report of the delegate
to the Honolulu Annual Temperance
Convention heard, after which, in rich,
clear tones, sang Mrs. Haena, the wife
OF the Secretary.
The orator of the day was Mr.. Charles
Williams, a half white gentleman, edu-
Gated at Punahou, under Prot w d.
Alexander. In an evil hour he became
victim to strong drink; but through
the interposition of Mr. r. A Lyman,
Treasurer OF the Society, he had been
able to overcome. His utterances, as
he stood before us that day, elected
close attention. The Presidents annual
report states that he established at
Kaala branch society, numbering AZ

IF THE answers of the Minister of the
Interior may be taken as authoritative,
it looks as though the Road Board sys-
tenn had already demonstrated its i'm
mense superiority to the old order Of
things. OF course the new men have
not got their hands fully in as yet, but
they have already done enough to
demonstrate their solid utility. In HiIo
especially it is stated that the roads are
getting into better shape than they have
ever been in before. Hilo begins to see
that blessed Observation-Disclosures
almost within her grasp, and carriage
road to Papaikou is already a fact, or at
least, as we suspect, a half one. The
eminently humdrum mission of good
government here is illustrated by the
fact that any Government which builds
good roads is pretty sure to commend
itself to very large public. Armies
and Governors are luxuries which may
be dispensed with, but good roads are
Joy forever, and are likely to be a mag
net which will draw good many votes
at the next general election.
