GOVERNMENT STROKE.

An illustration of the proverbial
Government stroke" can be seen
any day by anyone visiting the
localities where the prisoners are
supposed to be engaged road
making, etc. They move very
slowly, and take, things very quietly.
In fact, a considerable portion of
their time they do not move at all: {:
they sit down or stand still. The
work naturally keeps pace with the
workmen. The laborers employed
by the Tramways Company, both in
laying the railroad and in grading
HaIekauila and Alakea streets, pre-
sent striking contrast. These
men work, and keep on working
and certainly earn their pay, what,
ever it may be. If the Government
"wards'' were compelled to make
as good use of their time, the coun
try would have better returns ant
more to show for their support.

AN ANOMALY.

A rhinocerous giving lessons in
rhetoric is queer sight. A lands
man teaching 3 seaman how to steer
a ship, or a sailor instructing
jockey how to ride, is not generally
considered to comport with "the fit
ness of things" When lawyer,
who has spent all his life either at
school or in law office, undertakes to
lecture about raising corn and pota-
toes farmer who has had years of
practical experience in such things,
it is an anomaly. This mornings
advertiser" presents this anomaly,
actually and literally. just fancy
the advertiser" saying that the
BULLETIN "showed thorough lack
of knowledge of the subject" when
potatoes were under discussion, con-
sidering that the editor of the first
named sheet was brought up to the
law, and. the editor of the other tc
agriculture!

THE STREETS,

EDITOR BULLETIN:--What is the
matter with the Public Works De-
partmentl Have they any one in
the Roads Bureau that knows any
thing about road-making or the
grading of streets? 1t would seem
not, from the shameful state the
streets of Honolulu are in during
wet weather.
Any fool can make dry weather
road, or dry mud grading; but
the art of constructing streets so as
TO carry off the rainfall, does not
seem to be understood in the Public
Works Department. An hours
shower makes the street crossings in
most places ankle-deep sloughs, and
the water remains on the surface
until it either evaporates or sinks
through the soil.
Is there nobody who could in
struct the superintendent of Public
Works that there are systems of
sewers and cutters in civilized coun-
tries that could be introduced into
Honolulu with advantage and render
the crossings passable in all wealth
ers. The season is now approach.
ing when the miserable road-makine
of Honolulu and suburbs will be
felt, and many an imprecation will
| fall on the head of the Public Work:

HlL0 NlIES.

For weeks past Hilo has been un-
true to its reputation as land of
perpetual showers, and on some. of
the plantations there was talk about
the young cane being backward.
Impatience may have something to
do with the latter idea as everybody
wants to hurry sugar forward to get
the advantage of present high prices,
and an ordinary rate of growth, to
minds under the influence of this
anxiety, does not seem satisfactory.
However, the spell seems to be
broken; on Tuesday we had a
thunderstorm and plenty of rain
then and since, even to satisfy Hilo's
reputation, so we may hope the
young cane will grow fast enough
to catch up with the market.
The rain does not seem able to
make trade flourish. Everything
here Is as dull as ditch water, and
everybody is more or less in the
dumps. Even the Chinese say they
cannot make living. We try to
cheer ourselves by talking about
| that Volcano Road which the Legis-
lature has promised us. Woe be to
the Public Works Department if
they neglect this anchor of our hope.
There cannot be doubt that this is
work of something more than local
importance. Everything that pro-
notes tourists traffic to and among
these islands must be national
benefit.
The Inspector of schools, A. T..
Atkinson, Esq, arrived here on
Monday. He finishes his tour of
Hawaii at Hakalau next week and
intends to return to the capital by
| the next trip of the Kinau. Several
young hearts had been going pit-a-
pat for days before his coming in
anticipation of his criticisms. Let
us hope all our teachers came
through the ordeal with credit an6
comfort.
Mr.. Webb has been here and a
the Volcano taking notes for some
Australian papers. He and Mr.
Atkinson were at Kilauea togethe
on Saturday night and report tn
"Dana" lake and sundry blow-hole
to have been very active. The,
were both delighted with the exhibi
ton of fireworks Pele prepared TO

thing, but here is case, which l
believe to be benefit to the COM,
munity. A man, young or old, /
do not remember as L was too busy

/ had been busy already since'4
o'clock, and was at the time he call
ed writing letters to the leper set
tlement, for which the mail carrier
was waiting. l asked the man,
whose name 1 have now learned is
Chas. G. Marsh, q canvasser for
McKenney's directory, to sit down,
and as soon as l had despatched the
mail carrier would attend to his
wants. After my letters were writ
ten / asked him what he wanted.
He said he was the compiler of a
new directory and wished my
name, my sons and my neighbors,
all of which l gave him correctly.
Next [ asked him if some lunch
would be acceptable, he said ii
would. My wife set the table fol-
| him and gave him what we had,
bread, tea, milk, fresh butter, ETC.,
and as had no fresh meat gave him
sardines. l left him alone to eat al
| pleasure which he did.
After finishing his meal he asked
me if he could sit down and write s
letter. 1 said yes, and offered hin

until nearly noon and then left.

A COMPARISON.

MA comparison instituted between
the Tramways Company's railroad
works and most of the Government
works going on in and around the
town, is not calculated to inspire a
favorable opinion Of the latter. The
material used by the Tramways peo-
. pie is of a durable nature, and the
ties and rails are laid in durable
manner. The material will last, and
so will the work. The Government
seems to prefer perishable wood to
anything else, wherever it can be
employed; and work is done in many
instances in aslovenly, ,slip-shod man
ner. Wood is the favorite material for
curbing, where curbing is used at
all and, worse still, wood is used
for culverts, as on King street, near
the Chinese theatre, and Halelau-
lila street. In afew years, at most, the
curbing will require renewing and
the culverts will need similar treat
ment. Besides, these culverts are
utterly inadequate to carry off the
water in times of heavy rain. Wait
awhile, and this fact will be demon
strated in Halekauila street. A mar
does not require to be prophet nol
the son of a prophet to predict this
occurrence. Anyone. who has seer
