THURSDAY, SEPT. IS, 1888.
the PASS SYSTEM RENEWED.

AT one time, not very long ago,
persons desirous of boarding the
Oceanic Steamship Company's
steamers Immediately on their ar
rival, and before passengers had
landed, were required to procure
passes from the local agents before
hand, and those who could not show
pass were debarred from going on
board until the passengers, or the
bulk of them, had come ashore.
This regulation was beneficial to the
people on the steamers, and pre-
vented crowding and hustling on
the gangways; ; but the shore people
did not approve of it, and express
ed their disapprobation by many
savage growls. This, or some other
cause, led to the abandonment of
the pass system, since which the
rushing of crowds of people up the
gangways at the first opportunity,
delaying and inconveniencing the
landing of passengers, has become
nuisance. The agents, Messrs.
w. G. Irwin & Co., have determined
to return to the pass system, and
allow none but the bearers of passes
to board until the passengers have
landed. We are glad of it. Every
body will be benefited by the ar
rangement, whether they like it or
not. Three-fourths of the people
who rush from the wharf to the deck
of the steamer as soon as she
touches, have no business there
whatever, other than curiosity,
Then, why should they be permitted
to intrude themselves where they
throng the passageways and become
an annoyance and nuisance. Those
who have friends aboard whom they
are anxious to meet, or any other
important business, will have nc
difficulty in procuring q pass from
the Agents.

lNCENDlARY RATS.

The following extract from Bos-
ton paper contains usefu! informa-
ton and conveys II hint not to have
matches where rats can reach them.
Attention to little matter of this
nature might prevent the kindling of
a great blazc:-
Fire-Marshal Whitcomb of Boston
has been recently experimenting
with rats and matches shut up to-
gether in cage, in order to ascer-
tain whether they were likely to
cause fires or not. In the absence
of other known cause, frequent fires
have been ascribed TO their agency,
while at the same time many UNDER
writers affected to scott at the idea.
The question may however now be
considered as settled. On the very
first night that Marshal Whitcomb' S
rats were left alone with the
matches four fires were caused, and
not q day passed while the expert
ment was being tried that fires were
not started in this way. The rats
were well fed, but they seemed to
find something in the phosphorus
which they liked. 1t was noticed
that only the phosphorus ends
we're gnawed, and in most instances
the matches were dragged away
from the spot where they had been
laid.

PRO BONO PUBLlC0.

EDITOR BULLETIN THE argu-
ments advanced by the honorable
members of our Legislature against
the passage Of the constitutional
amendment, which recently died so
ignominiously, have elected many
disparaging comments, and from
the unanimity with which these rea-
sonings are condemned by people of
Honolulu it is fair to presume that
the foresight and wisdom which this
measure demanded was prominently
absent, pronouncing the conduct of
these men wrong.
The Chinese question was not q
very prominent issue at the time of
the last general election, yet almost
every member elected from Homo
lulu promised at one time or another
to advocate Chinese restriction.
One member was actually elected
upon that issue alone. He has
voted against it, because, as he says,
it was contrary to his principles. [
actually blush at this while writing
This gentleman lacks the ability TO
distinguish his very delicate posi-
ton.
The painful sensation caused by
despicable act, which the majority
of men call shame, this honorable
Legislature knows nothing of.
Will he with some of his contrercs,
at least, display the magnanimity to
allow the party which they have sold
to be ashamed for them?
1t would be puzzling indeed to
know what excuses these men could
give, what arguments they would
use if they were ordered by an ell
ragged public to give an accounting
of their conduct. Whether they be
rich in possessions, whether a prefix
of ''honorable" attaches to their
neyer-to-be-forgotten names does
not matter. 1t cannot save then
from the opprobium of having VIC.
lated the wishes of the men who
placed them there, not as arrogant
and self-assuming persons, but as
"the servants" of the people. The
sooner our Legislature, our Cabinet
and every Government official un,
derstands this the better it will be
for the country.
Is it possible that any member OF
this present House is not aware that
an overwhelming majority of the
voters are for Chinese restriction
and control? If there be such, il
would be well for those to have ac-
quainted themselves with this truth
some time ago. And if they do
know it, | for one deny them the
right to decide this sgrave question
for the people. These men forgot
that they were not passing a law
which was permanent. They sim
ply went through the preliminaries
to submit this enactment to the peo-
pie of Hawaii, and TO the people be-
longs the supreme right to say what
shall or shall not be in their Consti,
tuition. This right has been tram
pied upon by some Of the member,
elected from Honolulu. They have
thus erased their names from tn,
roll of honor. They have lost caste
! and are breathing the poisoned al

1t should not be supposed from
the foregoing that the final result is
entirely satisfactory TO all, or that |
the action OF the House and those
members who were mainly iustru-
mental in securing conviction is
above criticism. The opinion eN-
pressed by some members of the
House and many people out of the
House, that the four guilty ones
should have been treated alike, is
one which we heartily endorse. We
go farther, and say that Mr.. Ka-
walnut and Mr.. Kalaukoa are highly
censurable for the part which they,
according to their own testimony,
played in the matter. When they
knew that bribery was contemplated,
why did they not use their best en-
deavors to prevent it, instead of ex-
erting themselves to bring it about;
This would have been manly and
honorable course; the one pursued
was mean and despicable in the su-
perlative degree. These men might
have saved their weak countrymen
from the disgrace which has over
taken them. As for Mr.. Kalaukoa,
we consider that he merited expul-
sion from the Legislature along with
the three. This conclusion is reach
ed from a study of his own publish
ed testimony. 1t will be hard to
convince any reasoning reader of
his printed statement, that he was
not as deep in the mud as the
others. A blot rests upon his name
in the estimation of honest and
honorable men, which no explana-
tion can remove.

REFLECTIONS ON THE BRIBERY
CASE.

Charges of bribery against men,
bers of the Legislature and their ex-
pulsion from the House on the
ground of the charges having been
proven are novel events in Hawaiian
history; and therefore events which
naturally produce extraordinary i'll
terest and more than usual excite
ment, when they occur. On Tues
day last, after patient investiga-
tion by a committee of the House,
four Of its members were found
guilty Of having accepted payment
for their votes against a proposed
amendment to the Constitution, re-
lating to the Chinese who might be
in the country at the time of its pas
sage or who might thereafter arrive,
and three of the members were igno-
miniously expelled for the offence
and the other was severely censured,
but allowed to retain his seat.
So far as we can learn. this is the
first instance of the Hawaiian Legis-
lature expelling member for any
similar offence. Certainly during
the reign of the present Sovereign
or that Of his predecessor this is the
first occurrence of the kind. From
this fact the inference must not be
drawn that our Legislators have al
ways been of such a high character
that. they were above the influence Of
bribery; for, as matter of fact,
there is good ground for believing
That there have been times in the
past when bribes were freely offered
and fearlessly accepted. The prac-
tlce existed, but it was winked at.
For some reason, perhaps a lack of
inclination, the investigation and
punishment were not attempted.
The prevailing sentiment of the
House was Sin accord" with tue
idea. The present Legislature must
in justice be credited with having
risen above its immediate predeces-
sors in this regard, and the fact
that it had the moral strength to
prefer and investigate the charge
and to inhlct severe punishment on
the offenders will stand as a lasting
monument to its glory.

DRUNKEN MUSES. IN 4 HOSPITAL
CHARGES MADE BY THE HEALTH OFFICER OF
SYRACUSE AS TO POLITICS IN THE

Syracuse, N. Y, Dec. 81 Ospecial.-At secret

Dr Van Duyn, the health officer accused the nurses
at the hospital OF being drunkards incompetent and
insubordnate the orders Of Dr. Halsead, the phys
clan in charge DR.. Hastead has been put I'm charge
of the patients by the health officer, and two
nurses are there TO assist him. DR. Van Duyn said
that Dr. Talstead repeatedly disobeyed by the
nurses who received his instruction with impudent
replies When fresh air ordered the nurses
would insist closing the windows retaining the foul
air and making the place foul that there was hof-
rble stencil Finally DIR. Halstead chopped a hole
through window with a hatchet last resort to
obtain ventilation. 1t was also charged by Dr. Van
Duyn that most Of the whiskey sent to the hospital
for the patients was taken by the nurses. and that
when the patient Lawrence Burke escaped from tho
hospital few days ago, of the nurses asleep
and the other was drunk. Since his capture Burke
has been fetercd his bed by rough chain fastened
around HIS bare leg. The whole system was denounced
as a SC canda and the appointment of nurses It was de-
cared should be taken out of politics At the close

4 SMUGGLING SYNDICATE At VICTORIA.

THE HEADQUARTERS AND THE LEADERS OF THE
CONSPIRACY AGAINST THE CUSTOMS LAWS.
Chicago Dec. 21-An interesting story is printed
this morning of the operations of the opum.smuggng
gang, of whose leaders, Captain Durant. so mar
rowy escaped from the customs officers at Sand Beach,
Mich, week ago. The correspondent says that
Durant and his lieutenant. Charles Weltzel are living
at the best hotel in Sarnia and lionized by the
residents of that little Canadian town. They have
been smuggling opium for the last two years and
have successfully landed hundreds Of thousands of
dollars worth Of the costly drug the other side
without being detected. Durant is Of the trusted
agents Of rich syndicate that organized several
years ago for the express purpose of smuggling opium
into the United States from the manufactures at
Victoria b. O. The syndicate has s., ,0O0. 900 behind
It. and is largely controlled by c. J. Joslyn. of
Victoria Josyn among smugglers is known as Boss
Harris.' He is rich and makes no effort to conceal
the fact that he is the biggest smuggler in the
Dominion. Outside of a money risk no takes
chances That is while he is willing to risk the danger Of
having his valuable consignment confscated he
ventures the border for he knows that big
price has been put upon his head. People here like
him very much, for ho spends his money freely among
them. Almost any of them ready and willing at
all times to render him assistance In secretng
traband goods to throw the detectives off tho
track, and he pays we'll for their ser, 'ccs.
Another active member Of the Harris gang oper-
ates under the assumed of Spencer. He at
tends to shipping the goods from Victoria A rich
San Francisco merchant is said to be prominently
identified with tho syndicate. man for many years
in tho employ Of the United States Government as
an interpreter is another member Toronto China
man and "opum Pete Of San Francisco, comprise
the rest Of the syndicate Besides these there
largo number of agents whose duty 1t is to look after
the cons gnmens from the time they leave Victoria,
showing them from one point TO another in the DO
Hinon transporting them over the border. and then
reshippng across the States to California. Chief
among the agents Captain Durant and the WeitZel
brothers, Charles and George Both of the Weltzcl
Durant, awaiting instructions from Boss" Harris,
who has been informed by telegraph of the seizure
of his goods last week
The value Of the combined Product of the factories
in British Columbia, the headquarters Of the Harris
gang, Is estimated at 80 900 900 per annpm, and OF
this than 90 pei cent goes to the United States.
II is believed that less than 10 per cent Of II passes

only at Sarnla but all along the northern border OF
the United states we'll
