HiIO Notes.

The barkentine George G. Perkins is
expected to arrive at Hilo very shortly
from San Francisco.
AT a meeting held in Hilo on the 18th
inst, it was decided to celebrate the
Independence day of America in as good
style as the money contributed would
allow.
Ramie, Ramie, your glory seems to
have departed, for the present at least.
Several thousand dollars spentand moth
ing to show for it. Experience is dear
school sometimes. There was an in
debtedness on the plantation of five
hundred and fifty dollars, and on the 9th
inst. everything that anyone would buy
was sold at auction and realized a frac-
ton over three hundred dollars Though
lost to sight (by weeds), to memory dear
very dear. Do, re, me! Oh, blasted
hopes. The castles in the air were
shaken down. Au revoir, Ramie.

Mrs. Williams Literary Course.


Mr.. EDITOR: Will you kindly afford
me space for short report OF the pro-
ceedings at Mrs. w. F. Aliens, relative
to forming a class for course of morn
ing lectures from Mrs. Florence Will
liams?
Mrs. Williams met about forty-tiVe
ladies at the house of Mr.. G. r. Bishop,
kindly offered by Mrs. Allen for this
purpose, and laid before them the list Of
subjects to be selected from, her own
opinion in reference to the merits and
dement's of each subject. After putting
the matter to vote, the decision fell on
the five following subjects chosen from
fifteen topics of almost equal interest: :
|. Mary Tudor. 2. Maria Theresa. 3.
Marie Antoinette. 4. Catherine de
Medici and, 5, Aspasia and Agusdice.
Mrs. Williams prefaced her first lecture
on Mary Tudor by an explanation OF her
intentions in giving this course, dwelling
upon the fact that this is not a class in
history, rather that those subjects have
been chosen as types OF women the
extraordinary circumstances OF whose
lives had brought them before the world
in such a manner as to enable their
characteristics to be thoroughly known.
One of the most interesting thoughts
was contained in the criticism of the
pessimist Greek, who believed woman
to be an unmixed evil, the greatest con-
ceivable danger to society. The lee
turer, without actually agreeing with
the philosopher, confessed to a certain
belief in his theory, and earnestly pressed
her conviction that woman is, and must
be dangerous to society just SO long as
she remains ignorant, and just so long
still more important fact-as she feels
perfect satisfaction in her ignorance.
Perhaps the easiest and most satisfac-
tory way for the women of Honolulu to
prove the fallacy of this theory, both to
themselves and society, will be to apply
to Mrs. w. F. Allen or Mrs. Coleman
for tickets to the remaining few lectures
of the course The next lecture, on
Maria Theresa, will be given at the
house of Hon. G. K. Bishop next We'd
nesday, at 2 80 p. m.

A Point Raised by a Fireman.

Mr.. EDITOR: Il having been present
at the last meeting of the Honolulu Fire
Department, when the delegates which
are elected by their companies at their
preceding meeting, are supposed to take
their seats in that department, and
being a certificate member of Mechanic
Engine Co. No. 2, and think if am
allowed the privilege of voting at the
annual election of engineers, and also
being in good standing, that can claim
the right to ask, with due respect to all
concerned and my own company, for
your permission to state my feelings
through your columns, SO that others
may judge right from wrong. It is
regarding the action taken by the Board
of Representatives allowing Mr. Henry
Smith to cast ballot, probably for him
self, for Secretary of the Honolulu Fire
Department, he not being then a dele
gate from any company and entitled
to a vote. According to Article of the
Constitution OF the Honolulu Fire De-
partment, each company shall elect it's
delegate at a meeting next succeeding
the annual election of engineers He
shall also receive a certificate of his
election from his company signed by the
foreman and secretary of his company,
which should be forwarded to the Fire
Department. l wish to state that Mr.
II. Smith was not declared elected at
the said meeting of his company, but
that another member was declared
elected by the foreman, and that he
(Smith) having no certificate to present
to the Board, therefore had no more
right than | would have to vote for chief
engineer if | was not a certificate mem
Der, and L leave it to the readers of this
if it is not poor rule that does not work
both ways. No. 2.

Water Rates.

In accordance with Section 1, of Chapter

titled that the water rates for the term,
ending December 81, 1888, will be due and

Works on the 1st of July 1888.
All such rates remaining unpaid for fif-
teen days, after they are due, will be sub
ject to an additional 10 per cent.
Parties paying rates will please present
their last receipt.
Rates are payable at the office of the

ing, if it is not already here, when a
paid force will be necessary.

FROM various notices which have APP
peared in the papers, our readers are
aware that a convention of school teach
ers will convene at San Francisco in
July. But of the magnitude of the
assemblage, few among us have any
idea The New York World of June I'd
says that, from the most reliable data
| obtained, it is probable that from ten to
twelve thousand teachers will gather
there from all parts of the Union. The con-
vention is to be held under the auspices
of the National Educational Associa-
tion," of which Aaron Cove of Colorado
is President, and James H. Garfield,
Secretary. It was organized at Philadel-
phia in 1857, and has held twenty-seven
meetings during thirty years. The con-
vention will open in San Francisco on
the 18th of July, with grand reception
rendered by California, to be held at the
Mechanics Pavilion, and will continue
for several days, or till the Goth. Ad
dresses will be made, discussions on
various matters will be held, and enter
tainments and exhibitions given, of in
terest to teachers. Cards of full inform
alton will be supplied to all guests on
their arrival, and reception committee
will make arrangements for their COM
fort during their stay in San Francisco.
The above is brief outline of what
will probably be the largest gathering of
school teachers, ever assembled in the
United States, and the invitation has
come assuring all the teachers in the
Hawaiian Islands who can join in it,
that they will be welcome and cared for.
The Oceanic Steamship Line has, to-
gether with the railroads in every part
of the United States, reduced its fare to
nominal price for the round trip. 1t is
announced in the official circular OF the
Association, which can be had of Messrs.
Irwin & Co., that excursions to Puget
Sound or Southern California, or to the
Eastern States, are included in this re-
duction, which all who choose may take
advantage of. 1t has been stated that a
number of teachers in the schools
throughout the islands would like to
embrace the present opportunity of visit
ing California, and of joining in the lit
erary festivities which will attend this
great gathering. For all such we hope
the Board of Education will open the
way that may enable them to leave,
attend the convention, and return in
time to resume their duties at the open
ing of the autumn school term The |
knowledge and experience that will be |
gained by all who go must add to their
usefulness as instructors of the youth |
under their charge.

THE Fire Department is evidently in
need of careful investigation, and it is
to be hoped that the committee APP
pointed for that purpose will give the
matter their best attention. AS it
stands, We have very important bureau
which receives and spends consider
able Government appropriation, which
is practically irresponsible. This is very
decidedly, not as it should be. The
department ought to be brought under
the immediate supervision and control
of the Minister of the Interior, and so
through him made responsible to the
Legislature itself AS has already been
suggested, the time is rapidly approach

IT is earnestly to be hoped that the
bill reducing the number of water COM
missioners from three to one, will be
passed without resistance. This is a
much needed and often agitated reform,
hitherto without success. The old sys-
tenn has been so cumbrous and so expen-
sive that case before the Board to settle
the right to make little dam and turn
a few gallons of water into taro patch,
has been as serious an affair as a suit in
the Supreme Court.

The steamer Alameda, which left here
on the 10th for Sydney, had on board the
first instalment of goods sent from San
Francisco to the Melbourne Exposition.
San Francisco papers state that the
steamer Mariposa, due here July 9TH,
will have some 200 tons more of contri-
buttons from California for the same Ex-
position. Has anything been done to-
wards collecting exhibits from these
islands? If not, now is the time to get
them ready.

THE course of six evening lectures to
be given by Mrs. Florence Williams will
| begin tomorrow evening. The lectures
will be every Tuesday evening at Har-
mony Hall, except the lecture of Fourth
of July week, which will be given Fri
day, the 9th. The following subjects
will be treated in the order stated:
Balzac, George Eliot, Tolstoi, Marcus
Aurelius, The Republic of Venice, and
Schopenhauer, the celebrated German
pessimist. The tickets have been put
low enough to bring them within the
reach of everyone-four dollars for the
course. Mrs. Williams is a charming
and delightful orator, thinker of force
and fertility, and her lectures are calcu-
lated to entertain as we'll as instruct
everyone. Those who heard her last
year, do not need to be urged to hear
her again. To the rest of the public we
would say that none who really give her
a hearing will regret it.
Apropos of the two courses OF lectures
w
to deliver in this city, it seems pertinent
to inquire why it is that a really thor
oughly good entertainment which makes
an appeal to the higher faculties, receives
little or no patronage among us, so little
indeed that we are practically unable to
attract anything of the sort here? Hon
olulu turns out in body to witness the
exploits of juggler or mOuntebank, the
Opera House is thronged to see wrest- !
ling and boxing matches, sleight of hand |
feats, or any of natures occasional mon |
strOsities, but a lecture dealing with |
literary or scientific interests is practical |
ly thrown away. The mob dearly love a |

all ages, and anything which tickles
their Unsuitable appetite for the unknown
IS sure to draw crowd.

THE following announcement is made con-
corning the part to be taken by Mr.. Thurman
in the Indiana campaign.
'The only date thus far fixed for Judge
Thurman is Oct. IS, at Shelbyville. where
grand barbecue will be held. Colonel Mat
son, Governor Gray and many other distin-
guished Democratic orators will attend. The
Democracy of Peru, Miami county, are also
arranging for great barbecue, such as was
held in 1884 at that point in honor of Gov
ernor Hendricks. Judge Thurman will also
participate in this demonstration, and the
date will be fixed to suit his convenience. 1t
is expected that Judge Thurman will attend
about dozen other big meetings in Indiana"
In the light of recent events it will be ad-
visable for the Democratic managers to ar
range for what is known in stage parlance as
under studies"-some one to take the old
mans place when he is carried off the stage or
sits down to rest in the middle of his speech
Besides, to arrange dates month ahead is to
take more risks than an insurance agent would
be willing to do.

THE REPUBLICAN, DRIFT,

The Sentinel gave great prominence. few
days ago, to the alleged conversion to Democ-
racy of Messrs. Neal and Abbott, two lawyers
of Lebanon, Ind. It turns out that one of
them has been migrating and vibrating from
one party to another fer several years, while
the other is not SO much of Republican but
that he voted the Democratic ticket two years
ago. We are not troubling ourselves about
Mesers. Neal and Abbott, and hope they will
find peace and comfort in the bosom of the
Democracy. Meanwhile, We have abundant
evidepce that the great popular drift is in IA
VOC Of the Republicans, and that it is gaining
strength and momentum every day. A letter
just received from the chairman of the Re-
publican central committee in one of the
eastern counties of The State says:
"This township is divided into three voting
precincts. This precinct now has twenty
open and pronounced Harrison and Morton
men who have formerly been Democrats.
Twelve of these are 1rishmen who voted for
Cleveland in 1854, but are now prom ounced
Republicans. In the - precinct there are
two of whom are Irishmen. In - precinct
there are sixteen changes of the same kind.
This township is good for gain of fifty over
1854"
The writer of this letter gives the names of
some of those who have changed, but we do
not care to print them nor the name of the To-
cality. This is sample of the reports that
are reaching us almost every day, and which
show beyond doubt that the Republicans
are making large gains among class Of people
who do not make much noise in politics and
are not anxious to have their names pro-
claimed from house-tops, but when election
day comes they will stand up and be counted.
No great victory was ever won without some
losses, but while Republicans are gaining by
scores and hundreds they need not be sur
prised at an occasional desertion here and
there from their own ranks.
