PART SECOND.
The Fourth in Hamakua.

The Fourth Of July was never mole
enthusiastically celebrated than was
yesterday. The Paauilo Rife Club sent
challenge to the Honokaa Rife Club
for friendly contest, the losing team
to pay for the dinner Owing to the
inclemency Of the weather the shooting
was not 80 good as was expected, heavy
rain squalls continuing during the entire
match. For the second time Paauilo
has taken its defeat manfully. The fol-
lowing are the scores OF both clubs;

we're only stunned vt hrst, but died from
the effects of the conclusion. afterwards.
He knew all shout Il. He had hshed with
giant powder, but not since the law for
bidding Il Was in operation.
Noble Widemann moved the bill be re-
!erred to a committee consisting OF all the
members who have been trying 70 make
amendments, to agree among themselves
on what amendments are proper.
Rep. Hustace said that, with Noble
Warehouses; permission, he would move

Legislature to vote funds on such =
showing, would involve most egregious
niSappicatiou OF the public money.
Nothing OF the sort, however, is going
to be done. The committee have re-
ported in favor Of having the line OF the
proposed ditch surveyed, with view TO
determining what lands, if any, it would
render available for the purposes OF the
Homestead Act, and what other adj
vsntages OF truly public nature may
be expected to result nom it. As the
House adopted the report, an item for
the survey viii very likely be inserted
in the Appropriation bill.
In deciding upon every expenditure
Of this sort the questions 10 be consid-
cred are; VIII the proposed outlay ter
inmate in something which IS public
benefit, something in which the country
st large, or considerable section OF it,
has natural concern, or is 1t calculated
to benefit s few private individuals
only? Seconds it something which
can or will be done better b. public
than BY private effort II the answer
10 these questions is in the affirm
alive, the expenditure, if within the
country's means, is s proper one, no
matter what pretended sxioms Of the
science Of politics it may seem to
yiolate.
The Hawaiian gazette., 1888-07-17

Bot if the men failed on their part, the
ladies Of Paauilo certainly made up for
it in the elegant lunch they laid out
after the shooting, and had the Honokaa
Club mad as many ladies to cheer them
on TO victory, il is hard to tell what the
results would have been. We sincerely
hope we shall have the pleasure Of par
ticipating in many more such enjoyable
occasions.

NCcE o. the criticism which Is Occa-
sionslly aimed al governments for inter
fering IN matters beyond their province,
springs from too narrow s view Of the
functions Of government. The doctrine
OF ''Lzissez f4ire' has alternsred IN the
United States with the extreme Of pAter-
naIizn, each being run into the ground
in turn. The question whether the Ha-
Sziisn Government shall undertake a
particular enterprise is one 10 be settled
entirely on its merits; not AZ al By an
sppesl to authority, and least OF ST to
authority in the shape Of New Zealand
Legislators To pretend, however, that
there is no authority for governments
taking upon themselves Whist would
seem al first sight enterprises essentially
private in their nature, Is to be exceed
iugly vide Of the i&ct. The German
Government lot merely controls the
railroads, but II runs the opera houses,
pensions actresses, manufactures porce-
lain, and even breEs beer Nor Is this
without precedent On the contrary, it
Is very common for European Govern
nents to engage in enterprises Of this
kind any attempt, therefore, to prove
By authority that our Government in
analogous cases is transcending its func-
tons, and meddIing with matters outside
Of It's sphere, breaks down entirely when
It comes to the evidence

THE Republican nominations for Presi-
dent snd Niee-PreSident are best char
ScteriEed as " respectable" There were
several men available OF greater and
more statesmanlike abilities than Sens-
tor Harrison. but Tor various reasons they
we're not 30 eligible as he. Senator
HRsley would have been = choice ex-
ceedingiy honorable TO the Republican
party, bat he comes iron small State
and could not have been elected The
Republicans have selected man of fair
talents and reputation. who has the sd
ditional advantage Of being s soldier.
From the standpoint OF the ordinary
politician the choice would seem pru-
dent one. We believe, however, that
the party wiIl certainly be beaten in
November, and 1t is doubtful whether
there Is 81 present sny man within their
ranks who could have led them to vic
tory next fail.

Tie most amusing feature OF the whole
campaign has been the candidacy Of Mr..
DePew, who, when the bailoting once be
gan, proved 10 be very " dark horse"
indeed. The most unexpected thing
which the session IN Chicago has devel-
Oped Is the fsct that Mr.. Blaine's friends
finally took him AZ his word, and did not
nominate him, thus condemning the
plumed knight TO second season Of poll
teal deafness from which he need not be
expected ever to emerge. The kilograms
from Europe throw fresh light on Mr.
Blsine's foreign correspondence, for they
show that MS own wife did not know
that he would have refused the nomin2-
ton, Il It had been offered. Probably no
one knows, to this day, and Mr. Blaine IS
clearly entitled to the credit Of being
smart" enough TO mystify the whole
world SO completely that they have never
got out Of the mist.

The truth L, whether II i wise for the
Government TO furnish electric lights for
private houses build POI house Or dig

Be settled IN this summary fashion.
Each case stands on It's own merits. In
the first case the fzcts are these The
Government Is already IN possession Of
an expensive electric light plant, the
power Of which must be increased II
order properly to light the city. II Is
found that st 8 very slight additional
cost the electricity can also be furnished
Tor private houses, and thus not only $
desirable pabIie convenience secured,
but the usual expense Of lighting the
city paid for Surely none but the cap

EDUCATION"

The New York Sun is very pc.

heading it prints these remarks:
Tho educational campaign Ia.
taught different lessons from those
expected by tho educators, bs. they
are lessons which will be RENE mbered
and taken to hear. by every man who
a,pires to political distinction in the
United States for the next generation,
Among the lessons IN which the Am.
ericsn people passed their exsmin..
tions o" the 9th day Of November
are these:
The President Of the United States
has to be . politician.
Whrn . party elects q President it
,e'eots with him federal of1i,eholder,
Of it. own political faith.
The party that does not practise
ahe great Democratic maxim, which,
expressed with plainness to scare in
nocents, 10 to the victurs belongs the
spoils, will itself become the spoils of
the opposite party.
Turn tho rascals out doesn't mean
keep the raseals in.
A President 10 not a party despo,,
but 4 trustee for tho benefit of the
party.
All, civil service reform is dead.
Even = President must have friends.
A big brain and the big head are

An Old Boat.

I passed boat to-day on the shore,
That will be launched on the sea no more.
Worn and battercd-lhc straight keel bent,
The side, like ruined rampant, rent;
Left alone, with no covering,
For who would steal such useless thing?
1t was shapcly once, when the shipwright's
hand
Had laid each plank as the master planned;
And 1t danced for joy on the curling wave,
When first the seas broad breast it clave;
And 1t felt the pulse ofthc well-timed stroke,
That rang on the thole-pn OF tuneful oak.
Oft it has carried home the spoil
OF fishes, tired with the night-long toll;
And often, in summer days, IL knew
The laugh Of a pleasure-sceking crew;
Or launched by night on the binding waves,
1t has rescued q life from the seas dark graves.
It Is useless now, as 1t lies on the beach,
Drawn high beyond the pillows reach;
And none Of all 1t has served in stress
Remember it now, in It's loneliness.

Extracts from Christian Neighbor.

"Though with score of. the same
class my name does not appear, q
think, except as given in the Neigh
bOr) in any connection with the 'ap-
pointments' from the late session of
the South Carolina Conference. yet
with no complaint from the brethren
l am still living, moving and having
my being, and hope the others OH the
retired list are enjoying the same Di-
vine blessing and the same Conference
favor" So says Rev. Sidi H. Browne
in the last issue Of the Christian
NcighJor. If Brother Browne will
examine the Advocate Of December s,
he will find that the NeiqhJor is not
the only paper that has included his
name among the worthy superannu-
ates of the South Carolina Conference
in connection with the "appoint-
ments" of the same. Perhaps Broth
er B. does not read the Advocate. Be
this as it may, he may rest assured
that we have the tcnderest feeling for
him personally, as well as for each of
the score of veterans among whom his
name appears for the first time. May
the Lord cover them with His feath-
ers, and under his wings may they
trust.
So quotes and so says Rev. W. D.
Kirkland in the last issue of the
Southern Christian Advocate. The
paragraph slipped our attention until
too late for last weeks NEIGHBoR.
We are obliged to our Brother for the
opportunity to rectify the thought pa
renthetically expressed and correctly
quoted as above. Having seen the ap-
pointments in several exchanges before
receiving the Adrocate, we must have
presumed, in our haste, that the ap-
pointments in "The Atlpocdte Of De-
cember g." were the same as we had
seen in other papers. We stand cor
rected, and would have been some
what further obliged if, after setting
us right one way, our Brother had not
inferentially set US wrong another
way. The inference is that that tirst
thought was a sort of complaint that
our name was not or might not be Gin
cluded among the worthy superannu-
ates of the South Carolina Confer
ence." This, we think, is legitimate
inference from Brother KS wording,
but an illegitimate one from our
words. We thought and spoke of the
class of superannuates. including our
self, not appearing Gin any connec-
ton with the appointments" and
not of our name being left out of the
class. "NNith q score of the same
class" is what we said concerning our
relation to the other superannuates.
Perhaps Brother X. does not read the
Observation-Disclosures with his accus-
toned accuteness.
But this is quite enough as to any
connection in which our name may or
may not appear, for it does not matter
so much as to where a mans Name
should appear as it does what sort of a
man answers TO the name.
