says in this connection; cit would
be an interesting study for any
philanthropist to obtain a copy of
native regulations now in force, and
watch the results Of attempts to
make people virtuous by Act of
Parliament.
The policy OF the Fijiau Govern
ment towards the native race is very
different from that of the Hawaiian
Government; and, although in some
respects the circumstances differ
from those of the Hawaiian group,
yet in many respects the position
is similar. If success be n test of
superiority, Fiji has the best of Ia.
waii i'll native legislation; more has
been done there to civilize the Fijian
in the past decade than has been
done in Hawaii for the past half
century, snd this has not been so
much the amount of work done in
this direction, but the superior eff
cacy of the plan adopted in Fiji.
An Industrial Exhibition of much
promise is now being held at the
Fijian capital, Suva, which also
marks another step in civilization in
advance of Hawaii. l.. II.

POSTAL UNION WITH HAWAII.

The following letter appeared in
the San Francisco "Evening Bulle-
tin" of October 9th -
EDITOR BULLETIN "A closer pos
tai union with the Hawaiian Islands
has been proposed, like that which
has brought Mexico and Canada
into such intimate relations with the
United States. Our 2-cent stamp
will take letter to Quebec or Vera
Cruz-why not to our nearer neigh
bors in Honolulu? Our social re-
lations with the islands are intimate,
and call for many letters of friend
ship from here and from the East to
kindred domiciled in Hawaii. If
the adoption of the 2-cent rate
should treble the correspondence
(and it probably would within two
years) the Government would lose
nothing by the change.
A reduced rate of postage on our
newspapers and periodicals would
soon increase their circulation among
the foreign residents and also among
the educated of the native popula-
ton.
The business profit may be small
from any possible patronage in so
small Kingdom, but the good our
literature may do to the islanders is
unquestionable. American infu-
ence will be greatly and rightfully
increased to the benefit and salts
faction of all concerned. 1t is o
good time to establish cheap post
age to Hawaii. b.

A SAILOR SENTENCED.

In the Police Court this morning
James Stewart, sailor on board the
Carnarvonshire was charged with
assault and battery on Watkin
Jones, shipmate, with weapon
imminently dangerous to life. The
affair took place Thursday night.
Evidence was given by other sailors
and also Capt. Williams who stated
that on charging the prisoner with
knitting Jones, he said yes, and he
would kill anybody that would
double bank him. The prisoner
said the stabbing was done in self
defense. The Court found him
guilty as charged and sentenced him
to pay fine of $50 and be impri-
stoned at hard labor for six months.

TAX ASSESSORS AND C0LLEC-
TORS.

EDITOR BULLETIN THE list of
Tax-Collectors, published this week,
has set people here specializing, as
to what the principles are, in accord
with which these appointments are
made. We understood, that when
this government went into power, the
errors and vices of the old regime
should all be corrected. Under Glib
sons administration there was n
constant complaint against the CIV
ing of TaX-Assessor and Collector
ships to Government officials. The
"Gazette" used then to write col
umns against this practice and print
lists, showing how many offices the
ministry heaped on their political
friends. Now the Gazette" says
nothing, but still the same thing IS
happening. Here in Wailuku the
three appointments-Collector '97,
Assessor 'S8 and Collector '88-
made by this Ministry, have been
given respectively to the Deputy
Sheriff, the Collector of Customs and
the Postmaster. These officers are
paid respectively $175, $3.50, and
500 per month-very handsome
salaries, and the Assessor and Col
Iectorships are worth more than
$1,000 each for a months work.
AS man cannot serve two masters,
asihe cannot be in the Post Office
and at the same time out collecting
taxes; he will either have to get a
substitute in the Post Office to the
inconvenience of the public-and
then the Postmaster General ought
TO interfere or hire a man to do the
collecting, but if that is the case,
why not give the pay to the man,
who actually performs the work. In
former days these positions were
given for political services rendered
or expected to be rendered, but

LESSONS FROM FLU.

Recent advices from Fiji state
that the land and coole questions
are as much exciting themes of dis
cussion in that group as in ours. In
answer to protest of the native
chiefs of Fiji, who were opposed to
coolie settlement, the Colonial Gov
ernment sent them a final note in
which was the following practical
paragraph: sin this colony there is
much land lying idle-land which
you neither know nor can make use
of. Land is given for use, and it
will be a mistake for you TO suppose
that anything can be allowed to re-
main idle and useless" From this
it would appear that land legisla-
ton is on much better and more
progressive basis in Fiji than on the
Hawaiian group; and the paragraph
embodies a valuable lesson which,
sooner or later, will have to be
adopted here.
Another singular request of the
native chiefs was to the effect that
San effective punishment be inhict-
ed upon women for circulating
slande.ous reports;" but the Gov
ernment had made no reply to this
when the last mail left. The Gov
ernor, however, had stated that he
would "ask for more information. u
OF cource, enactments of this nature
would never do in county wle.e

News came by the w. G. Hall
Tuesday afternoon that Manoel
Vicente, Portuguese storekeeper
at Makawao, Maui, was accidently
killed last Saturday. He was telling
trees in gulch, when one tree fell
before he could get out of the way
striking him and sending him to the
ravine below. He only lived a few
moments after been struck. Judge
G. Copp, the district magistrate,
acting as coroner held an inquest

residents of the district for honesty
and quite behaviour. He leaves a

A QUEER STATE nE THINGS.

EpIToR BuLLETiN;-In this morn
ing "Advertiser" the fact is stated
that 81. II. Robertson who wounded
Magoni at Waialua, arrived in town
about IL o'clock Sunday night, but
did not present himself before the
authorities until Monday morning.
This appears to me most eXtraor-
dinary state of things II it had
been Chinaman who had commit
ted the deed, half dozen policemen
would have been sent post haste TO
Waialua with instructions to bring
their prisoner in irons TO town.
There would have been no chance
for him to have spent the night un-
der the roof of q relatives house,
and then take his own time in CIV
ing himself up Then again, how
is it that the bail is only fixed at
$1,000, when in 4 recent shooting
case by Portuguese near the Hos
pital the amount was $1,000? for,
as l understand, the man Magoni is
lowering between life and death.
"Let justice be done though the
heavens fall" One more question
and 1 have done: Why is the dis.
trict of Waialua without physi.
clan? If there had been one there
the probability is the poor fellow
would not have lost so much blood,
and might by now be on the road tc
recovery. Is it because competent
doctors will not serve under the pre-
sent President of the Board o.
Health? JUSTICE.

"far from being missionary and is
not even member of a church. "

not satisfied with matchmaking \
as a churchless thingabob, the cad

related by blood or marriage to any
one in the country. The old adage
of "save me from my friends" is true

smaller fish that seem to make their
regular appearance between the
hours of 3 TO p. m. and 2 10 a.
M, are caught plentifully. At
these times some so TO 60 natives,
men and women, are fishing with
their rods from the wharf. None Of
these anglers leave without filling
their water pals at least half full
with these fishes. Further out in the
bay some immense quantities of fish
of all varieties and sizes are caught
with hooks and lines. Considerable
fishing is also done by harpooning
and spearing, some natives being
quite experts at that; astonishing
with their skill any casual haole OBJ

A Free Traders Testimony.

Free Traders Testimony.
 Free Trader J. B. Sargent, an active Cleye- land partisan, does not think that workmen need carpets, such variety of vegetables and as much meat as American workmen get. He admits, however, that American work men have more money in savings banks than those abroad, and that reduction in wages might follow the tariff reduction which he seeks. See report of tariff commission, vol. I, page 597. The following are extracts from his testimony. MT. J. B. Sargent of New Haven said:
 "Gentlemen-An active business experi- ence of nearly forty years, thirty of which have been occupied in manufacturing, fair actual acquaintance with, and knowledge of, the natural resources of this country and of most of the countries of Europe, an exami- nation and comparison of the methods of the United States and European manufacturers and their respective facilities, advantages and disadvantages, has convinced me that the United States of America is fully capable of taking and maintaining an independent position as manufacturing nation, and that her manufacturers, if left to fight their own battles against all corners in g free-trade field, need no protsction whatever against foreign manufacturers.
 Being questioned he testified as follows: Question by Commissioner Ambler-I un- dsrstood you to say that the real cause of your being unable to compete with the world l in your particular line of goods is, in your I judgment, the tariff on raw materials. \ The witness-That is the cause in part.

 The Californians are very much exercised by one section of the Mills bill It is esti-
 mated that there is about $1O ,ooo, GOO invest ed California in the raisin industry and yet the production in quantity has only been since 1880. Since then, however, the price in Spanish raisins has decreased, although California pays four times the amount for labor which is paid in Spain. Richness of soil, abundance of crops, with 9 cents per pound tariff enables the California growers to compete successfully with the Spanish product. The Mills bill, as reward to the American producer and to encourage home industry, cuts down the tariff on raisins 25 per cent, and thus favors the Spanish pros ducer rather than the American.
 A resident of London last June sent two postal cards around, the world, one on the 9th to Vancouver via the Canadian packet and transatlantic route, and the other two days later to Hong Kong via Brindisi and the Snez canal, with the requests that they might be reforwarded on to the original sender, the first via Yokohama, Hong Kong. etc., and the second via San Francisco and New York, which was done. One travelled eastward and the other westward, the object being to ascsr- tain the quickest mail route around the world. The result has been that the east- ward card (oF second dispatoheD returned on August r, after an unpreoedently quick pas sage of seventy days, while the other or vest ward card was not received in London till September IT, month later, after one hun dred and three days journey. The post- marks on the cards show that that the east ward card was able to complete its journey with barely any stoppage at all. Allowing for stoppags the actual time taken by the westward card in going around the world is reduced to sixty days travelling. The esti- mated mileage that each card travelled was about 22, 100 miles, the cost being 31Sd. east ward and 3d. westward. A third postal card was also sent from Dover on June 22 to Shanghai via St. Petersburg, Kalgan, Pekin and Hong Kong, thence home via the United States, thus crossing the Russian and Chi- nese umpires. This card reached home after journey of eighty-nine days, at the cost of 21kd. only. A similar journey by two cards going eastward and westward which were dispatched from Sweden about ten years ago occupied 116 and IF days respectively.

mILLs THE FREE TRADER.

Roger Q. Mills has found it necessary to be dishonest in order to save some northern votes to his party. He has been claiming to publicans are, and also that his bill, the ex- confederate raid upon northern industries, was, from it's inception, protection msas- urs. MT. Mills has been thus declaring to northern and western audiences and has shown willingness to prevsricate and falsify in the interest of his peculiar species of re- form. The Congressional Record for the first day of December, 1887, when this pres ent congress assembled, shows just how much of 6 protectionist MT. Mills was when he started in. The following resolution was. on that first day of the session, introduced by this same Mills who now claims that he never wanted free-trade: Resolved, That the Committee on Ways and Means be in structed to so revise the tariff as to make 1t purely and solely 6 tariff for revenue, and not for protecting one class of citizens
 by plundsriag another"
 This Is 8 clineher for Mir. Mills, and he
 could well afford to go home and soak his
 head before trying to deceive people any mOEo. 4nS oAtOk0POAs OV0Au0Au WOh eoyo'
 "When we couple that sentiment with the declaration of Senator Coke of Texas, that eff there Is any one thing that Texan will go miles out of his way to kick, kill and de- stroy, It is protective tariff {" we arrive at a pretty clear understanding of the spirit of these southern free-traders, who are deter mined to force their system upon the North if possible, and who have succeeded in oom- polling their northern friends and allies into position favorable to the eonsummation of their schemes. And yet the ''grsve and rev ersnd seniors" of the Democratic party at the North, and the callow crew who are trying to
 win their political spurs in the party arena, while arguing for free-trade and against pro- tection, all deny the free-trade impeachment. The above showing ought to shame such
 dodgers and pretenders out of their ambus' csde,
