House Notes.

An exceedingly severe case of pro-
tracted labor, second only to the Irish
Coercion Act, came to happy termina-
ton at II 80 a. M, Thursday, when the
House was safely delivered of fine big
pounds, estrays, brands and marks"
bill About % learned consultations
were held, since June 4, over the case.
Of these some nine were of the nature of
clinical lectures by the leading doctors
and five or six were Wrangles in COM
mittee about the mode of treatment.
Alps we'll that ends we'll. The bill is a
finely developed scion of reform legisla-
ton. Dentition will come in due course
of nature; then people who feed their
pigs in their neighbours paddOcks will
get bitten and branded with wholesome
fines and forfeitures
Noble Hitchcock, on Monday, sailed
down, with every inch of canvas spread,
and struck the schooner Divorce amid

manded by Noble Smith, and loaded to
the waterline with Indiana, Wahine

rescue OF the Lahaina Mobiles disabled

get out of the way. However, he missed

being struck by squat at the moment,
nearly capsized. He was Obliged to Law

Then he came into port in fine style,

MUCH patience and perseverance is
demanded of all interested in the public
affairs of this country. Our conditions
are such that we are confronted with
many difficult problems. The commun-
ity is small, our position is isolated and
every little disturbance affects us. The
community as compared to larger COM
munities may be likened to a sail boat
and an ocean steamer. Squalls of wind
and broken sea which would receive but
passing notice on the great ship, are
matters of serious interest to those in
the boat. The same questions of navi-
cation, results of force and strength of
materials are involved, but the relative
danger is very different. Passengers on
the great ship feel no responsibility and
but little interest in the matter; on the
boat the danger is real and imminent,
thesresponsibility rests on ala blunder
or lack of vigilance may consign all
hands to the waves. During the past
year and at the present time squalls and
troubled sea have occasioned much
anxiety, and brought considerable peril.
Those in command of the boat have
made some mistakes, but in the main
they have managed well. They have
been honest and vigilant; their errors
have been errors of judgment, and not
from lack of principle. There have been

RenIv to MI. DiIlingham.


Mr.. EDITOR: The dialogue given to-
dav in your columns between MIR. b. +.
Dillingham; and your reporter Is not
correct representation of what took place
between myself and that gentleman.
At Mr.. DilIingham's own request l in
spected his scheme and suggested his
obtaining a franchise for which he would
give the Tramways Company a right OF
pre-emption, fully explaining to him at
the outset that unless such an arrange
ment were entered into beforehand, 1t
would be my duty to oppose him, be-
cause for several miles out of Honolulu
the tramway and railway would form
directly competing lines.
Mr.. Dillingham; not only agreed in
substance to my proposition, but made
his own terms, doubling the figures,
which thought reasonable.
When he demanded to be protected
from interference with his colonization
scheme, drew up an additional clause,
giving him the exclusive right to carry
out such negotiations with the land
owners.
never made the statement that the
bonds could be floated in London at
$4,000 per mile, or any similar state
ment.
Messrs. Skinner & Co. do not receive
$3.50, 900 for building II miles of street.
railway. What the payment includes
and the manner in which it is made, are
detailed in the Company's prospectus
which can be seen and explained at my
office. Unauthorized copies of this pros
pectus have been printed at the expense
of Mr.. Dillingham; and circulated by him
for reasons best known to himself, but
those who wish to know the facts will be
very gladly furnished with the same at
this office.
The idea of giving the TramWays Com
pany a controlling interest in the steam
railway by the subscription of the major
part of the stock originated absolutely
with Mr.. Dillingham;.
After having obtained from me all the
information l was able to give him, and
having secured the introduction of his
bill, Mr.. Dillingham; receded from his
position with the remark that it was not
too late for man to go back when he
saw that he had made a mistake; that
for SO paltry a sum as that named by US,
he was not gong to let out OF his hands
so great scheme and that if he did get
his franchise he would come to us for the
balance of the capital.
Without indulging in any anticipations
as to the nature of the fair and honest
proposition" which Mr.. Dillingham; pro-
misses to lay before the Hawaiian public
in due time, l may be allowed to repeat
what stated in my letter of 9th inst,
that the Hawaiian Tramways Company
is prepared to contract to build railroad
to Pearl Harbor, and that, in the event
OF their doing so, Hawaiian residents
will have every opportunity OF subscrib-
ing to the undertaking.
Whether the Legislature adopt the
Committees report or not, it is probable
that they will be influenced in their de-
cision by the practical question as to
which of the parties is most likely to
build the road.

Thy COuntrys, thy Gods, and Truths.
FRIDAY, AUGUST 10, 1888.

WE desire to express our appreciation
of the laborious and gratuitous work per-
formed by many of the members of the
Legislature. To all it has been a trying
task, and to many it has involved no
little cost. AS whole the members of
the House are body of honest and sin
cere men. They are devoting their time
and energies for the public good. They
have no personal ends to serve distinct
from the public good. Sitting day after
day all through the hot months, and
much of the time working at night to
prepare for the labors of the day, the
strain on their patience and forbear-
ance has been great. We know that the
thinking portion of the community APP
preciate this work, but some do not
realize what a sacrifice it is to the most
of the members of the House. Under
the present Constitution the opportuni-
ties for members to reap personal
benefits, even if so disposed, are very
small. 1t is easy to find fault and con-
denim, and those who least understand
the difficulties and hardships of the case
generally are the most ready to censure.
Many of the members are constrained to
retain their seats only from sense of
duty. 1t is true patriotism and merits
the commentator of all true friends of
the country.

A LIVELY RUNAWAY.
Mr. Keiier's Horse Creates Some
Excitement.

Spring street was enlivened yesterday
afternoon by one of the most exciting
runaways on record. Mr.. Horace Keller
left his horse and buggy on First street,
near the Nedeau House, and during his
absence the animal took fright and dash
ed off at full speed down Spring street.
1t kept to the right hand side Of the road
and manuvered in and out between the
cable company's excavations in most
remarkable manner. The runaway met
with his frat mishap when outside of the
Burlington office. The street being
rather too crowded on the side
he was running he decided to cross
over in spite of the open ditch that lay
before him, but laborer headed him off
with shovel, and the frightened animal
in his excitement ran into wheelbar-
row, tearing the top completely off the
buggy. He continued, however, in his
wild career and turned into Commercial
street, when his adventures came to an
end. A hack was coming up the road,
and crash the buggy was no more,
and the horse stood a prisoner amidst
the demolished harness. A policeman
arrived on the scene and took the outfit
to the station, where Mr.. Keller shortly
after put in an appearance and took away
his horse
