boston Evening Record, March 2l
HONOLULU, February IA, 188S.-Time
does not serve me to write to you fully
in response to your request of january
9th for information concerning public af-
fairs in Hawaii. [ will, however, briefly
say that the new regime here is a vast
improvement on the old. It is true that
during the special session of the newly
elected Legislature, under the new Con-
stitution, which. was held last Novem-
Der, friction was developed by the King
asserting his unadvised veto power,
which many (myself among them) be-
lieve that he could exercise only by adj
vice of his Cabinet. But majority of
the Supreme Court decided that no such
advice was required. This will necessi-
tate constitutional amendments to bring
the sovereign thoroughly under the con-
trCl OF responsible officers and depart
ments of tt e Government There was
for fortnight or SO in December consid-
cradle concern felt lest the King might
be led by some unwise advisers and
native malcontents into causing an out
break. But conservative counsels, and
especially the presence in the harbor of
a large American and British naval
force, prevented this, and everything is
now on an assured peaceful basis.
The Reform party has its villifers
here and abroad; but it has done won
ders. The peaceful revolution of last
summer is something marvellous in all
history That after the deep, fathom-
less slough into which the public affairs
of this Kingdom had been dragged,
every thing should at once go with per-
feet smoothness was not to be expected.
But matters are now, as they formerly
were not, hopeful. This revolution will
not go backward. The country has
taken a new departure, and although
there are elements of difficulty in the
varied nationalities, and in the fact that
large voting power rests with ignorant
voters, unused to popular institutions,
yet there is large intelligent popula-
ton now bound to take part in public
duties.
/ am strongly inclined to think that
the country can hold it's own, and pre-
serve it's autonomy. If it cannot do so,
it has it's manifest destiny of becoming a
part of the United States

ISLAND NOTES.
KAHULUI, MAUI, April 18th

KAHULUI, MAUI, April 18th.
It seems that my report of the polit-
ical meeting at Kahului has not been to
the taste of Mr. Baldwin's friends. This
gentleman had better in the future to ap-
pear labeled ''Noli me tangere." He is
public man and as such open to public
criticism. There has lately been great
deal of talk here about the Maui Mobiles
doing this and that, as if they all were
acting in concord, while the fact is, that
not one important measure was brought
before the last session, on which the six
Mobiles voted on the same side. Your
correspondent oh. NJ seems to be of
the opinion that the views of Mr.. Bald
win have the sympathy OF the majority
of the voters. If that is the case, this
majority ought certainly to express their
disapproval of the positions taken by the
Mobiles, who voted in opposition to Bald
win. Messrs. Richardson and Camp
bell voted against Baldwin on the veto
question, the liquor bill and the Chinese
immigration bill, and l have no doubt
that the two Mobiles believe that they
have acted in accord with the wish of
the majority OF their constituents. 1t
will of course be impossible to express
an opinion in what way the majority
thinks before the next election. By run
ming around with a list of resolutions
asking the voters to sign their names,
nothing will be gained. 1t shall be far
from me to insinuate that any plantation
manager here would use any pressure on
his employees, but there are a great
number of men who lack nerve, to say
no, when they are told the boss wishes
them to say yes. At the election where
balloting is secret, they can safely vote
as they feel. "H. M" speaks about the
gentlemen who voluntarily lay aside
their private business to the thankless
duty of serving their country. The less
said about that the better. For six
years these men have been continually
bowling because they were unable to get
into power. Now they are there and
able for two long years to ride their own
little hobbies as madly as they please,
certainly they need no pity for their
sacrifice.
have no hopes of the fair dealings of
such meetings as the last, where half of
the voters present were Government
officials. 1t has been one of the maxims
of the Reform party that Government
officials shonld not participate in pol
itics, and the present ministry has even
given instructions to that effect, but |
perhaps that was all humbug, anyhow,
the instructions are decidedly not car
ried out. In what country in the world |
would such a thing be tolerated as three |
petty Government officials meeting and |
up resolutions proposing the
adjustment of Governor, their superior
a measure lately vetoed by their King. |

COL. SPRECKELS' PLANS.
He Locates His Refinery at PhiIa-
delphia-The Site Purchased.

A dispatch from Philadelphia, dated
April 4th, says: Claus Spreckels has de-
cided to build a refinery here with a
capacity of 2,0OO,0O pounds daily. The
cost of the plant will be 5000, 900, and
the annual output will be $50, ZOO, 900.
The capital to be invested, $1,000, 900,
will be supplied by Spreckels.
Mr.. Spreckels said this afternoon cit
is true | have purchased site and will
build sugar refinery here. l will pro-
ceed without delay to make my numer-
Gus contracts and do everything possible
to quickly build the refinery. The
property l have bought is the Merrick
property, which has an area of between
nine and ten acres. The property is on
the line of the Pennsylvania, Baltimore
and Ohio, Reading and Lehigh Valley
railroads. The price paid was 100000
crsh." He added that the work would
be completed in about one year.
Another dispatch, dated April 9Th,
says: There are some additional par
ticulars concerning Spreckels' sugar re-
finery move here. Last night a prom
inept gentleman, with whom Spreckels
consulted before announcing his decis-
ion, said that the refinery will have a
total capacity of 7 900 pounds of refined
sugar, while the other two refneries now
in operation in this city produce daily an
average of $500 pounds. The two re-
fneries of Harrison, Frazier & Co. and
E. g. Knight refine yearly about $27,-
100000 worth of sugar. Now, his refin-
cry Will swell this part of Philadelphia
commerce directly to $7O,OOO,OOO an
nually. The property purchased is stu
ated south of Reed street, en- Delaware
front. 1t extends 800 feet back on the
river and Swanbon street, covering the
entire block. There are three large
wharves, eighty feet in width, having
sufficient depth of water to accommodate
any vessels arriving which have connec-
tons with the railroads to this city. He
will stay here some weeks, Spreckels
said, supervising the work of the
draughtsmen and consulting.

The Emperor Retter.

The New York "Herald's" London
correspondent, under date of April 9th,
quotes from the "Medical Journal" a
Berlin dispatch, which says the En-
peror of Germany is doing most salts
factorily. His disease appears quiescent.
There is no sign of it spreading, and the
glands are not in the least involved.
His general health is excellent, and in
appearance he shows no trace of illness
or suffering, except that his hair has be-
come gray. The position which Sir
Morell took up from the first, that no
radical surgical measures were advisable,
appears now to find more favor among
the medical profession in Germany than
has been the case till lately.
Morocco and the United States.
w. Reed Lewis, American Consul at
Tangier, has received reply from the
Moorish Government, declining to ac-
cede to the demands of the United
States with reference to persons under
Consular protection imprisoned at Rabat
Fears are entertained here that the
American Government will adopt Wig
orous measures against Morocco. The
United States steamer Enterprise has
sailed from Tangier for Nice to receive
orders from the Admiral of the Ameri-
can squadron with reference to the Ra-.
bat affair

In nearly every paper remarks are
made about the ineficiency of the Maui
police. / believe the reason for the COM
plants is rather to be found in the in
| sufficient number of officers than in any
| lack of energy or ability on the part of
| the force, but l should think that just
| the small number of men would keep the
Deputy Sheriffs so busy that they would
have no time to NEEDLE in politics. If
they do occasionally capture some ras-
Gals and bring them to Honolulu in tri-
umph, it seems that these unappreciat-
ing beings run away again. Too bad.
May ask the Post Master General if
he has forgotten Maui altogether. We
are lately getting our foreign mail for
warded very slowly. There are actually
some people who say that they contrib
ute in their boxes just as much to the
mail service as the Honolulu people, and
believe that they have just as good a
right to have their mail dispatched with
out delay as their more fortunate fellow
citizens in the capital. Last foreign
mail was week old when we receivedit.
Monday night the Kinau arrived and
brought us no mail l suppose the P. M.
G. had read his papers and seen that
there was nothing of particular interest
in them, so he concluded that we could
wait till Wednesday and get the mail by
the Likelike. Perhaps he was right,
but still we like to see for ourselves.
There is general satisfaction with the
working of Mr. w. H. Cornwell and his
associates on the Board of Road Com
missioners. The appointment of new
Road Supervisor was good move, and
we look forward to some fine roads, par
ticularly if the wind and rain will leave
them alone. ALLEGRO.

Queen Victoria will extend to the British

Cured in to the effect that the Govern
ment should advise the Queen that such
an alliance would be inopportune, and it
would seriously embarass Bismarck.

For Stealing Opium.

Deputy United States Marshals Cavanagh
and Kranz went to Ogdenburg and made
the most important government arrests
made in this district in years. The parties
arrested are Nathan H. Lytle, Jr., deputy
collector of the port of Ogdensburg; William
j. Cummisky, ~janitor OF the government
building, and John w. Stone, one of the
most prominent attorneys in St. Lawrence
county. They are charged with having on
or about July 2 last stolen from the custom
house 100 pounds of opium. This is the
outcome of the arrest of the Gardeners
last winter at Ogdensburg who
were captured with nearly $685.

Stone is the lawyer who defended the Gard

room in the building, and it was easy for
him to reach the goods. The duty upon
opium is $40 q pound. SO there was con-
siderable money in the scheme if it was sue

procured and filed with odk blocks weighing
the same as opium and were left in their
