cruel man. In revenge no accused her Of
fenses for which she was condemned 30 30

burning brands thus became red roses the
Others white ones.
A Christian tradition asserted that tho
crown OF thorns was one Of roso thornsi
and that the red rose spraug from the blood
OF Christ:
Men saw the thorns on Jesus brow
But angels saw the roses.
A popular tradition asserts that In para

DISARMAMENT BEGUN.

The New York Tribune of August
10 talks in the following humorous
strain of disarmament in the Hawai-
ian Kingdom
For several years the European
Powers have been increasing their
respective armies, improving their
destructive weapons of all kinds,
and generally following the maxim
which declares it wise to prepare
for war in times of peace. AT the
same time each Power has frankly
asserted that nothing would please
it better than to disarm and con-
vert its swords into ploughshares,
or at least into corkscrews, but that
what is needed to start general
disarmament is practical exam
pie, At length that example has
been given, and there is no longer
any excuse for the maintenance of
the overgrown, cumbrous and cost
ly armaments which are in them
selves perpetual incentives to war.
With a far-sighted humanity and
magnanimity to be admired and en-
We'd by more sordid governments,
the Legislature of the Hawaiian ISL
ands has sacrificed its pride in the
general interest, and taken the init
ial step in the grand movement of
pacifcation and fraternization, the
completion of which will evidently
usher in that federation of the
world" long since forehadowed by
the poet.
BY single stroke of the pen, so
to speak, the noble Hawaiian Legis-
lature has abolished the navy of the
Cannibal Islands, and reduced the
army to what may almost be termed
an abiect peace basis. That slen-
did military machine whose martial
tread erstwhile sounded in rhythmic
vibrations through the palm-sh shaded
avenues of Honolulu, and whose
The Daily bulletin. [volume] (Honolulu [Hawaii]) 1882-1895, 1888-09-17

gorgeous uniforms shed ineffable
lustre upon the solemn functions of
King Kalakaua's court, is legislated
out of existence--reduced to its
lowest denomination--rcprcseuted
henceforth by bcggarly array of
siXty-6ve warriors, of whom no less
than eight are full privatcs. 1t is
true that this does not include the
'yal band. The vast European in
Jere.,s on whose behalf this great
remuneration has been offered, did
not requtr that last and bitterest
deprivatiN. The band remains,
and fai, otage of generals,
represented by ntty-seven out of
the siXty-fve gallant spirits who,
like the Last Rose of Summer, are
left blooming alone. But how mag
nilicent is the moral spectacle pre-
sented. Hawaii, standing four
square to every wind that blows,
self-stripped of all her defepces,
"owning her weakness" like the vic
tim of the Bridge of Signs, extends
trustful hand to her covetous
neighbors, throws herself upon the
protection of the Cosmos, as it we're,
and silently intimates that this is
the way to introduce the millen-
mum. The effect must be prodi-
gious, and there can no longer he
any pretext for postponing the gen
eral disarmament of Europe. N.

THE NEWS OF THE VILLAGE BY
THE HlL0 BAY.

DEAR Mr.. EDITOR, Sir:-I notice
by the read of the paper that friends
will often write of the news from
our little village so | also do this
write with the trust that many may
be joyful to see another word from
their native birthplace which is not
much JAM with nonsense. There
may not much news be said about
here, but another murderer have
been found in Puma.
There one old native man who
been friendly to every peoples was
foul murder by some Chinaman who
have been with the Police to Prison
this week in whale-boat to Hilo.
The Sheriff was gone to visit the
surround of the Island but the
Sheriff Deputy was here and was do
much work to find out everything
the matter.
Some of the peoples is much
frightened because they think many
Chinamans is bad and wishes to kill
every other peoples but | do not
think it must be so. The workmans
here says that not much money is
circulation now, but is better than
many months passed. Some of our
friends is doing much work and
some new house is made in the
town.
We boast many artist here Of
Hilo. Mr.. FurneauX was here, but
is just return from visit to the sea-
shore at Keaukea. He have many
work of arts at his study. Also Mr..
Tayernier was been sick but is bet
ter and he tell me he wish to 90 out
and become strong once more to
work, and he hope to get to Mr..
Hitchcock place in the wood to
sketch and become well. Also Mr..
Howard Hitchcock was do some
paint; he have been paint his father
house just finish and also some pic
ture in his study. He with Mr..
Tayernier will go to the wood for a
week for sketch.
Our new doctor seem very busy.
We see him ride out all day and
often in the night, but not many
people dead yet,

POTATOES.

CLOVER price are offered for island
grown potatoes than those from
abroad, and yet the island product
is the finer article" says the "Ad-
vertiser." The same paper asserts
that "as fine potatoes can be raised
here as ever are raised in New Zea-
land" If by the iineness of the
island potato is simply meant its
size and appearance, the "Adverti-
ser" may be right; but the quality
of the imported article is decidedly
superior, and that is why it COM
mands better price. Most potato
eaters call potato good or bad in
proportion TO its mealness or hard
ness. A mealy potato is good, and
hard potato is bad, with the majo-
rity of people; although some pre-
fer the latter. The New Zealand
article takes the lead for mealiness,
and therefore ii takes the lead in
PRICE. Island potatoes are not
mealy. At least, the writer has
never found one after dozen years
search. Will take the Few Zealand
article any time and every time at
double the price of the home pro-
duet. Experienced farmers assert

CAPTURE OF LEpERS.

The steamer Pele arrived yester-
day from Kauai, with twelve lepers
on board. About two weeks ago
the Attorney-General sent special
officer Kingsley to Kauai, with in
s'ructions to visit the district of
Waimea and attempt the capture
of number of lepers known to be
there. Arriving at Waimea, Kings
ley in company with Deputy Sher-
iff Stolz, started for the abode OF
the lcpers and after very little trou-
bic captured twelve who were
brought down as above stated.
There are few more lepers in the
district and Kingsley leaves again
on the Mikahala tomorrow for the
purpose of capturing them.

EDITOR BULLLrN Tile presump-
tion is that editors should or ought
to know everything that is going ON.
He should know law to be able to
review Legislative Acts aud legal
decisions (always keeping in view
the libel enactments): he should be
versed in physic to enable him to
review coroner's inquests; he
should be mathematician in order
to explain the Appropriation Act of
the last session. 1t is very doubt
full whether he should have any po-
litical or seclarian views; but he
should understand n little of civil
engineering to enable him to give
an opinion just how many times a
street should be dug up and filed
up in order to obtain grade; and
this brings me to the question wish
to ask. AT whose expense is King
street being graded, the Tramway
Co. or the Government? Is it neces-
sary to cut the road at Leleo to the
extent that it's being done and who
pays for the damage to the property
which is very great? An answer to
this will oblige number of
SUFFERERS.
The Daily bulletin. [volume] (Honolulu [Hawaii]) 1882-1895, 1888-09-17

There Is also one new Japanese
doctor for this place, but I think the
Government doctor get too small
pay for the many work she have to
do free, only it was best for the
poor man, but many was rich
enough to pay say for the Govern
ment to pay enough, so she lose
much money.
Some schools are begin their
teach hut not vet the Government
schools. The Ililo Boarding School
begin to open last week, but only
few scholars was come yet. The
Catholic Mission School was also
open this week with quite many
scholars. Also the Foreign school
with some scholars.
The plantations are not grind yet
but many of them is plant the sugar
cane now.
There was every day many peo-
piles bath in the Wailuku River for
get ready for a Battle Feast next
Saturday. There was men, women
and many children every days there,
sometime more than 100.
We are very much glad to see
Hon. d. II. Hitchcock and Hon. H.
Deacon back again. We very glad
for the strong work they been do for
us, but some friend been get thing
much jam when he think there been

KRLiHI VALLEY read.

The road into and throl Oh Kalihi
valley is greatly in need of atten
ton. 1t is almost impossible to
vehicles in places. In the Appro-
priation Act is an item of So 900 for
this road, which is prouably suffi-
cient to place it in as good u condi-
tion as the residents of the valley
desire. Unless work is commenced
at once, it will be too late to do any
thing until next summer, for the
wet season is near at hand, during
which road-making is out of the
question in a rainy region like Ka-
lihi Valley, and the residents will
have great difficulty in getting their
produce to market all the winter.
A consideration which should have
weight with the authorities in decid-
ing what road work should have pre-
cedence-for it cannot be all taken
in hand at once-is the fact that
Kalihi Valley is occupied from its
mouth to its source by an industrial
and Industrious population who have
no way of getting their produce
bananas, pine apples, milk, fire
wood, charcoal, etc., to market but
over this road.

kindly state in your paper, for the
benefit of the merchants of Homo

lalion on board of the Alert, pro-
hibiting the enlisted men contract
ing debts for any purpose whatever.
They have liberal allowance of
monthly money given them every

pay cash for all purchases. [ posi-
lively refuse to recognise or pay
any bill of their contracting unless
personally authorised by myself,
particularly bills to liquor or eating
saloons and boarding houses.
As the Alert is likely to remain
some time at Honolulu and this mat

fit to them if you would kindly give
notice of it.

HOMESTEADS.

EDITOR BULLETIN A few months
ago, when we saw the Government
Surveyors tent roosting on the sum-
mits of our Kohala range, the sweet
hope of a nice home arose in many
an Angle-Saxon, German, Portu-
guese and Hawaiian heart; but,
alas, as many thing in this chang
ing world, that hope was but a
dream, a waning shadow shattered
by the Government advertising the
sale of lease of 759 acres of land
in Kohala.
Every week we read in the papers
sad complaints about hosts of resi-
dents leaving for more propitious
shores; now, would not part, at
least, of the problem chow to keep
the population here" have been
solved, if the Government had
granted homesteads? AS it Is now,
said lands only profit two or three
well to do cattle-raisers.
But one may object, some OF
these lands are sin lite" and plenty
of lawsuits may be encountered. A
poor answer, in my opinion. Dis
putes are as liable to arise from q
void lease, rs from void sale; be-
sides, only those lands whose titles
are not disputed could be sold now,
and the remainder later.
Seven hundred and fiGty-nine
acres divided in lots of from l5 to
20 acres would make from 40 to 80
persons happy, and those and their
children and their chiIdren's chill
dren to many generations would
bless the Reform party.
Let us hope that the Ministers
will reconsider their decision, anG
give the poor man the only chance
he has, to secure a home, rs it is
next to impossible for him to buy s
foot of land in this district.
