The Opinion of English Politicians.


LONDON, Nov I'm spite of the fact that
most Of the newspapers and large majority
of the politicians in and out of Office, agree
that President Cleveland's action in giving
Lord Sackville his congo, was not only per-
fectly proper, but indeed the only thing he
could do in the circums tances, the affair has
caused a general murmur of dissatisfaction
with the manner in which the minister was
dismissed the mutterings proceeding chiefly
from desire TO conceal the universal feel
ing of chagrin, Nor are the growls alto
gether directed toward the American gov
eminent.
While it is freely charged that Mr.. Cleve.
land has exercised his official prerogative in
his own personal interest, with view Of
making party capital, and influencing his
reelection, a considerable proportion of the
press and the people are disposed to lay the
blame for highlands humiliation at the door
of Lord Salisbury. 1t is claimed that while
the effect OF Lord Sachville's indiscreet con-
duct made it appear that the British minis
ters departure from Washington in conse-
uuence was inevitable, the premier should
have recalled him at once, in order that the
spectacle of the peremptory dismissal of a
British representative by the government to
which he was accredited might be averted.
That Lord Salisbury was perfectly well
aware from the outset that Lord Sackyile
could no longer remain in Washington as
Athe representative of Great Britain there
can he no doubt whatever, and the opinion is
openly expressed that ne purposely exposed
the unfortunate minister to the humiliation
which has been visited upon him in order
that n popular feeling OF indignation mig hit
be aroused against the American govern
nient by the action. he knew the Washing
ton authorities must take in the event of his
neglect to promptly perform his duty.
The course taken by tho American senate
In the matter of the Canadian fisheries treaty
ana later that of the President in his retalia-
tion message is still fresh in the minds OF the
premier and his colleagues and it is not
unlikely that the foregoing opinion is based
upon.something more than mere surmise, En-
glsh popu ar indignation against a country
5000 miles away is not such terrible thing
after all, but in the absence of any more
potent means Of retaliation it was possibly
thought well TO manufacture and use it.
The most disappointing part OF the affair
Is. however. the fact that the quantity of
popular Indignation produced is exceedingly
small and most of il is directed against those
who could, il they would, have spared En-
gland her present humiliation.

YOU BET THEY DO.

EDITOR BULLETIN The "Adver-
tiser' in its issue of yesterday
seemed to be quite delighted over
its wonderful discovery,sthat the
troubles of Company G, Honolulu
Rifles, had turned out as they (the
Advertiser) supposed; and went on
to tell lots of stuff about it.
/ venture to say, that the cad
vertiser' is very much mistaken,
and knows no more about military
than myself. A company takes pre-
cedence according to its seniority.
The Captain is a senior Captain,
again, according to Upton, "the
authority" Company G is a senior
company and holds the right of the
line.
The "Advertiser" also nonsensi-
cally talks about the "Luso's"
"pretended interest" in the Portu-
guese Company Q, (Honolulu Rifes)
and says that Company G, probably
understand the matter pretty well.
You bet they do, and to show it,
they refused to leave the armory on
the 10th of November, when order
ed out to the shooting contest, and
it was only to please their captain
that they at last consented to go,
which l dld not know till the next
day when they made complaint.
And l must say for the enlighten-
ment of the advertiser" that the
"Luso" takes in this matter no
pretended interest,"" The "Luso"
really and truly leads, represents
and defends the interests of many
more people than the advertiser"
ever did and ever will under the
present Clique of which it is the
organ and which is getting every
day smaller in numbers and weaker
in strength.
To what the Advertiser" mali
ciously says and insinuates towards
the end of its famous editorial,
make no reply, as there is nothing
to be gained by replying to the in
situations and slurs thrown by 8
newspaper of so low standard.
The last lines, however, deserve
notice:
The advertiser" appeals to its
readers to confirm its denial of hos
tility to the Portuguese. This is
amusing, considering that the great
majority of its readers are sin the
family"

A LETTER ABOUT HAWAII.

Mr.. Thomas G.. Carson, an Irish
gentleman, accompanied by Mrs.
Carson, spent several weeks on these
islands about six months ago, and
welt from here to Australia. Mr..
Carson is a retired lawyer who has
acquired fortune by his profession.
He and his wife were greatly pleased
with these islands. An Irish news
paper, the Coleraine "Chronicle,"
in its issue of Oct. 6, 1888, has a
column and a half written by the
gentleman about this country and
its people. He says great deal in
that space. A few slight inaccur-
acies are noticeable, but most of his
statements are correct. Several of
our people are mentioned as having
shown great kindness to the visitors.
The initials only are given, but any
old resident can tell to whom they
belong. The native people are
spoken very kindly of. About the
only unkind word in the whole letter
refers to the newspapers. The
writer says "The rags published
here contain nothing" We feel
half inclined to endorse this state
ment, but must say this for the
Honolulu papers, that our weeklies
contain more reading matter than
the Coleraine weekly in which Mr..
Carson's letter is published.

A LIVELY GAME.

The Vandalias and Brownies play
ed the most interesting baseball
gnme of the season Sunday at the
park. The nautical crew was fine
looking team, gentlemanly and earn
est, and good ball players. They
had an excellent battery and rather
outfielded the boys, but Brooks
struck twenty-one of them out and
they were unable to do good work
with the stick. Crane, the catcher,
and Martin at second, did fine
work, keeping the Brownies from
stealing second, six men dying at
that bag. James Cusick umpired
with satisfaction to all. even the
grand stand. There was the most
intense interest taken throughout,
and the attendance was very large.
The following is the score of the
game as kept by Ed. Kavanagh:

POSTAL MATTERS ON MAUI.

EDITOR BULLETIN: May through
your columns call the Postmaster
Generals attention to the slaekness
and Indifference exhibited in the
postal department here, causing
good many just complaints. Some.
time ago in the BULLETIN l predicted
the inconveniencies, which the APP
pointment of our postmaster to the
office of tax collector would cause
to the public, and it is now generally
admitted that l was right. This
week the mail from this island to
Hawaii was not dispatched at all.
The Lehua arrived at Maalaea Bay
about p. m. on Tuesday, bound
for Mahukona and other ports. The
mail carrier had not arrived at Maa-
laea, and no mail was sent. The
reason given was, that he did not
expect the steamer so early.
Everybody else here knew that
the steamer would be in early
and the hacks were down in time.
Wednesday morning the Likelike
came to Kahului on her way to
Hilo, but the mail for Hawaii
remained immovable in the Wal
luku Post Office. The reason
given was, that they did not know,
that the Likelike was going to Ha-
waii. rhe responsible postmaster
knew enough though to be at Kahu-
lui collecting taxes. That part of
his business he does not forget, but
seeing that the mail carrier per-
forms his duties, seems to be none
of his concern. Some time ago
with the consent of the Postmaster
General he transferred the contract
for carrying the mail from a party
who had performed that duty to
general satisfaction for the last six
years, to protege Of his, whom he
knew was not in position to carry
out the work, being the owner only
of two hacks. / believe that the
Postmaster Generals attention at
the time was called to this fact, but
that gentleman seems not to care for
the postal service outside Honolulu.
The result is, that the mail carrying
Is performed in a rather irregular
manner, the contractor asking Tom,
Dick and Harry to bring the mail
up from Maalaea, as he cannot 60
down twice night, which is neces-
sary, when the Kinau and the w. G..
Hall arrive on the same night. An
occasional'inspection tour round the
islands by the head of the postal
Bureau would certainly not be detri-
mental to the service.

places are in the same condition as

That the result hereof often is more
than an inconvenience, can give

TRADE DEPRESSION.

EDITOR BULLETIN:-A great deal
has been said about the stagnatlon
that now exists in almost all kinds
of trade throughout these islands,
and many reasons have been given
through the press as to the causes
of such depression, as well as sug-
gestions for remedying so unsatis-
factory state of affairs.
The subject is wide one, and,
to do it the justice it deserves, would
occupy more time than is at my dis
posal at present.
1t is nota difficult thing for cores
pondents to write in glowingterms, tel
ling US that, if capital were used to
buy up waste lands, import labor,
and plant tobacco, coffee and other
products, an era of great prosperity
would again dawn on these islands.
The fact of the matter is, we have,
until comparatively recent time,
been recklessly over-trading. At
time when the price of sugar, our
staple product, was nearly double
its present value, we went too fast.
Vast numbers of small traders, pos
sessing little or no capital, sprang
into existence during that period of
imitation. The value of money was
under estimated and in consequence,
spent like water. With large pro-
portion of the community, what are
now looked upon as the veriest lux
uries, were then considered as ne
cessaries of life. Such state of
things could not possibly in any
country be of a very permanent ma
ture. The diminished price of sugar
simply hastened the reaction that
was enevitable.
The capitalists, and there are
plenty right here in Honolulu, are
not, as many would have us believe,
a lot of selfish imbeciles, but shrewd
business men, and, whatever may
be said to the contrary, would not
hesitate to spend money in these Isl
ands if they could but see any rea-
sonable chance of adequate returns.
Instead of raving about the intro
duction of capital, opening up
doubtful ventures, let us look nearer
home, and economise in small
things.
Tradesmen especially of the
smaller class already alluded to COM
plain that they are doing but little
business. The reason is not hard
to find. There are too many of
them. Shut up one half of the dry
goods stores, grocers, saloons and
others, and the remainder would
have no reason to complain of hard
times and slack business.
The outlook for our super-abun
dance of small tradesmen is not a

HAWAIIAN RACE.

EDITOR BULLETIN - An article
which appeared in your Tuesdays
issue under the head of ga Fore
cast" and signed by "a 'Sojourner,"
compels me to ask you for space
in the columns of your valuable
sheet for a few words as reply on
behalf of my own beloved, yet dis
regarded, race.
ga Sojourner," in his article re-
ferred to, handles us poor Hawaiian
aborigines pretty roughly, as if he
believes that we are ignorant of
the language he writes his article
in, without the least expectation of
its being perused and sat upon by
aborigines.
In the first two paragraphs of his
article fail to notice anything of
MUCH account, and consequently
have no word TO say in favor or the
contrary.
But towards the end Of the next
paragraph i find that he has made
a new discovery, which he applied
as an unfailing sign of his idle pro-
phecy of the near end of the Ha-
waiian race. He says that the
meles and songs we are singing in
public, are but our wailing for our
own expiration before long. Now,
what can be more superstitious than
this? When q native sees dog
digging hole or hen growing, he
viii say that it is an omen of a seri-

study is landscape painting, of
which he has several promising ex-
amples at present on the easel.
These are mostly of miniature size,
suitable as Christmas or New Years
cards. 1t should be understood
that Mr.. Hitchcock's pictures are
from nature, and visitors will find at

nounced at meeting of the Domin-
ion Cabinet, on Saturday, it was
decided to invite Australia and New
Zealand to send delegates to Ottawa
at an early date to consider trade
matters and the proposed Pacific
cable from New Zealand to British
Columbia. The design is to divert
travel and traffic from Australia,
which now go entirely via San Fran
cisco, to Vancouver, and thence over
the Canadian Pacific, and open up a
market for Canadian manufactures
now possessed almost exclusively,
so far as this continent is concerned,
by the United States.

A CASE OF POISONING.

Early Wednesday morning, Mr..
A. NJ. Hewett, the newsdealer, who
sleeps in rear of his store called cut
to Mr.. Arthur w. Richardson,
United States Consular Clerk, that
he had taken poison in mistake. He
stated when Mr.. Richardson arrived,
that he had used corrosive sublimate
for tooth wash instead of alcohol.
Medical aid was at once summoned
and a stomach pump was used.
Shortly after 8 o'clock, Mr.. Hewett
was removed to the Queens Hospi-
tai where he still is in a very critical
condition. 20.

bright one, there being but little in
dication at present Of any change
calculated to improve their condi-
tion.
The credit system, inaugurated
no doubt in times of greater pros
perity, exerts most baneful infu-
ence on trade. The trader, in his
anxiety for business, offers almost
any terms to customers, in order to
sell his goods, resulting, as a natural
consequence, in bad feeling, bad
debts, and for himself, a very pro-
bable "bust-up." TRADER.

Gus accident that will shortly hap
pen to the owner of such dog or
hen, which he believes to be true by
custom. But when he tells this TO
a white man or pack of sojourners,
a native spectator standing by will
see with surprise what he did not
nor will expect to see. That the
pack of sojourners will immedi-
ately put on new face, viewing
their addrssser with cross eyes from
every direction, with monkeyish
grin on everyone's disfgured face
of scorn. But this cannot even
hold candle to "a Soiourner's"
omen of omens. While the natives
omen applies to individuals, "a
Sojourner's" applies to whole
race, which, he says, the world has
no further use of.
quite agree with him that there
should be no favor of race. And
only too proud of being promised
that the native should have the first
preference of filling public office.
But this is quite puzzle TO me to
understand, what ga Sojourner"
means by saying that the world has
no further use of us, yet he gives us
the first preference to a public office.
His jealousy of the native Ha-
waiian race was not appeased by
only calling us darkskins, but went
on and put us down as "a very
inferior race"
Now both in biblical and political
terms, such an assertion is quite out
of place. Races may differ in the
one being civilized and the other
uncivilized, the one Christian the
other heathen, etc. But calling
one race superior to another, and
the other very inferior to other
races, is quite contrary to the law of
nature and of the civilized world,
that ''God hath created all men
alike that is, not one is superior
to the other, and only inferior to
angels, as the Psalmist says, ''Thou
hast put him lower than the angels" !"
Only this and nothing more.
In my opinion the landowner
should have the sole control of his
own affairs, let him be white or
darkskin. If dozen sojourners
came to q kind-hearted darkskin,
who received them most heartily
into his home and gave them leave
to seek fortune on his land by culti-
waiting or by any other honest means,
do you think il is honest and right
that this kind hearted native should
be turned out of his land or be ruled
by these envious sojourners, on the
ground that he, being only one, can
not rule over many, and also that he
is inferior to them? do not hesi-
tate to say that you will say, no!
Again if 10000 sojourners can
not approve the management Of
affairs of this country, and cannot
stand being overruled by 10000 OF
the very inferior race, why not kick
the dust and go?
But, as at present all the manage
ment of Government affairs is in
the hands of white skins under the
banner of Reform, do not see any
occasion for such accusations an(
unjust charges against the native
Hawaiian race.

POSTAL CARRIER DELIVERY.

EDITOR BULLETIN Honolulu has
now advanced sufficiently to have
postal delivery by carriers, the same
as other cities all over the civilized
world. Cities and towns in all En-
glish-speaking countries have these
conveniences; and even in towns
half the size of Honolulu, postal de-
liveries by carriers have been long
established and are considered ne
cessary to the proper working of
postal facilities. There is no rea-
son why our Post Office should lag
so much IN the rear of progress as
to have a general delivery only from
the window where crowds of natives
congregate, and make an effectual
bar TO applicants for letters whose
time is valuable. These crowds
gather on the arrival of every mail,
and it is just then that people want
their letters. A postal delivery by
carriers would be very easy in Ho-
nolulu; and the extra labor need
not involve extra expense, as one or
more members of the staff could be
easily spared after sorting time, to
deliver such letters as were address
ed to portions of the city within GER
tain limits.
OF course, those having private
boxes do not feel the want of car
rier delivery; but those who have
none of these convenlences feel diff
ferently. Besides, the delivery of
wrong letters to persons of the same
or similar names would he avoided
by carrier delivery, and / am told
there is good deal of that done.
