WHAT A DISCONTINUED TRAVEL
LER SAYS,

EDITOR BuLLETIN:-A discomfort
ed traveller addressed the following
note to the Herald" published in
Paris. While not exactly aproros
to the points in all other parts of the
world perhaps, yet it is worthy of
perusaI, and discontented travellers
in other places than the capital of
France, have been heard to speak of
the dereliction of duty of American
officials in this way. 1t seems al
most too bad that men should be
sent as foreign representatives,
merely to draw their pay and TO
have a good easy time. ~
''In the vernacular of my native
land, Il want to know and l take
the liberty of inquiring through
your valuable columns, as to whe-
ther or not we are to have any So
cial official representation i'll Paris
during the Universal Exhibition
next year? We have not had any
since Mr.. Morton ceased to be our
Minister. Mr.. and Mrs. McLane
are both very worthy people, but
they are very old, and the latter
has not even reception day.
Neither has Mrs. Vigneaud nor Mrs.
Jay, the wives of the First and
Second Secretaries of the American
Legation. For all the notice that
ourI national anniversaries, the 22nd
of February and the Fourth of July,
receive from our officials in Paris,
we might as we'll be in Iceland. 1t
is very different in London, where
Mr.. and Mrs. Phelps do everything
in their power to entertain and in
terest their country people. Also it
was very different in Paris during
the Exhibition season of 1878. Our
Minister, General Noyes, our First
Secretary of Legation, Mr.. Il. X
Hit, and our Consul-Gen General
Fairchild, entertained handsomely
and continuously.
We Americans in Paris have never
before been so left in the lurch,
since the days of Minister Wash
burne. Have our officials no soca
duties to perform? or are they ap
pointed to Paris simply to exercise ;
wise economy in the French capital
l pause for reply.

Captain E. Ahrens, master of the
bark Printzenberg, and Jas. Ben
nett, one of the men who were en-
ployed as guards, were being tried
in the Police Court this morning, on
charges connected with the China
men who skipped the other night.
The captain is charged with violating
section 3, chapter % of the session
laws of 1887, for neglecting to re-
embark on the Printzenberg the
Cinnamon in question. Bennett is
charged with violating section A,
chapter 2S of the session laws of
1887, by aiding and abctting in
bringing into this kingdom
Cinnamon who were not lawfully
allowed to enter. The cases are not
yet ended.

ROAD WORK.

The filing in and grading of King
street at the Eva end, from the
bridge to Liliha street, has been IN
progress several weeks, and is likely
to occupy many weeks more before
the work is completed. The cause
way between the soap works and the
bridge is being widened and raised.
A wall on the seaside is being con-
structed of soft loose stones, not
very securely placed. 1t is as near
straight, in one part, as a rams
horn. AS there is no provision
made for posts it is presumed
there is to be no fence to
prevent horses, carriages and per-
sons from going overheard. A solid
mason wall would certainly have
cost more, but it would have made
complete job that would have last
ed generations. How long are those

of the death of Mr.. Edward r. Pur-
Wis, which took place at Colorado
Springs, August 10th. The de-

neiit of his health. Soon after
reaching Colorado Springs he wrote
to relatives on the islands, stating
that he felt much better.
A month ago, his brother, Mr.. r.
w. Il. Purvis of Kauai, realizing
that his brother was very sick went
to Colorado Springs, arriving there
just three days before the deceased
breathed his last. Mr.. Purvis was at
one time Vice-Chamberlain, and pre-
vious to his leaving here in May
was employed on the island of
Kauai. lie was only 81 years of
age at the time of his death, and
leaves many friends behind.

SECRET VOTING.

EDITOR BULLETN:-I was glad
to see your editorial headed "Secret
Voting" in your issue of the 23rd.
| like yourself can well remember
the desperate fight for and against
it in England. There is large
and respectable number of people
in that country who are conserva-
tives, and who are such in the
strictest sense of the word, which
means in some cases, to let things
which are well tried severely alone,
while in other cases it is healthy
check on careless legislation. One
of the principal arguments brought
to bear against the passage of the
Ballot Bill was the fear Of the loss
Of control over votes, which would
naturally fall on the employers of
labor. Every man who is English
knows perfectly well the immense
power held by large employers of
labor over those working for them.
There is sort of communistc in
fluence existing around a Factory,
Coal-mine or Workshop in England,
which can only be understood by
the English themselves. The fact
that it is there cannot be gainsaid.
"Show mc the politics of your en-
ployer and I'll tell You how his men
will vote" is an old aXioms. The
loss of this influence was to the con-
seryatiyes of that day, a bitter pill,
But to-day those very same men
The Daily bulletin. [volume] (Honolulu [Hawaii]) 1882-1895, 1888-08-29

would just as streuuously oppose
any measure to abolish secret yot-
ing.
Now Mr. Editor, l cannot for the
life of me see why the experiences
of a so much older country cannot
be accepted in this country rs the
best for it. The illiteracy argu-
ment is absurd and faliacous to the
last degree Lord Sandon's Act for
compulsory education was not yet
tried, and in spite of the great num-
Der of ignorant voters it was found
that the Ballot Bill of England was
the best measure ever given to the
English people.
The opposition to the clauses of
the bill provided for secret voting
now before the House is beyond
me. The question of illiteracy is a
lie, because | have made it my busi-
ness during the last week to talk
with many Hawaiians, and | can
testify to the fact that the large ma
jority of them fully understand
what it means. The only others
who may be difficult are the Portu-
guese, and it is safe to say that be-
fore the law is required everyone of
them will have had sufficient lessons
as to how to use the franchise. AS
for other voters it would be bold
member of the present House who
dare TO say they were illiterate.
In face of all the facts in favor of
secret voting, fail to see but one
reason for the opposition of any
member of the present House of
Parliament. Here are men largely
elected on the wings of Reform try
ing their level best to kill one of
the greatest Reform measures of the
nineteenth century and there can
but be one reason-FEAR.
You doubtless remember Mr..
Editor, the hue and cry which was
raised against the late party in pow
er when, at the 1886 elections,
certain body of soldiers was marched
down to Aliiolani Hale with certain
tickets in their hands. 1t has been
openly stated in my hearing that
similar practices were carried on on
more than one plantation at the last
election, and l myself saw one case
at the Fire Engine house where
ticket was taken from Hawaiian
by spotter and another one sub
stituted. They may make all the
laws they like against bribery and
undue influence, but it is simply i'm
possible to prevent me as an employ
er OF labor giving certain tickets to
my men and marching them in a
body to the polls. On all sides one
hears expressions of dissatisfaction
with the present House, and there
is not doubt in my mind that the
majority of the members fully
realize the fact that they will never
sit there again, and hence their op-
position to the present measure,
and this opposition clearly lays them
open to the aspersion that they
wish door left open by which they
may use undue influence at the next
election.
With respect to the work done by
the present House, a remark of Mr..
Disrael-I think it was at the end
of the session of 1S73-comes to my
mind. He rose in his place on the
opposition bench, and after care
fully reviewing the work of the
year, he wound up his remarks with
the following caustic expression:
"And now after a session of drtlu-
Ous labor the gentlemen on the
Treasury benches have accomplished
a large amount of nothing, and l
can only compare them to row of
extinct Volcanoes"

The Next Naval War.

1t is an open question whether, in
the next naval war, undefended tow rs
will be attacked? In past wars they
have not been, but some think that
they will be in future-that is to say,
they will be given the option of paying
heavy sums OF money ina short time,
or suffering bombardment; the idea
being that the more money obtained,
and the greater N isery generally in
flicted, the shorter will he the duration
of the war, and this may very possibly
be true. That small cruisers of the en-
envy will, If they can, sink our mer-
chant shipping and leave the crews
to take their chance OF sink or swim in
their own boats is moderately certain;
for such a cruiser could neither afford
time to rescue the crews, space to stow
them nor men of her own to form a
prize crew.-BldckUocd'S Magazine.

The Drummer ase a Tacher.

There has been much written Of late
about the drummer as an educational
institution and when one thinks OF the
different business methods obtaining
now from those Of fifty years ago,
there seems to be something in il. In
the old time the country retail mcr-
chant visited the big city once or twice
a year, saw the new styles and learned
of progress that had been made in his
line; had sort of semi-annual fresh
ening OF his wits as it We're. Now some
visitor from big city calls upon him
every week and tells him all there is to
know. He has the advantage, too, OF
his grandfather in getting his informa-
ton not from one source Of supply,
but from dozen. The brightest men
in the business are his instructors and
they come from everywhcre The
modern storekcepcr s""s the product,
in sample, OF every factory in the
country and new ideas are almost
forced upon him. He owes much to
the Instructive drummer. -Sh0c dli3

they listlessly gaze through the

not knowing what to do with them

great trial ID the busy and often nerv-
GUS people OF the house, and are quite
likely to be scolded, though such
course is so unwise and unjust that it
can lead only to the worst results in
the child's future. Calm and reprov-
