THE DAILY
MONDAY, OCTOBER 8, 1888.

THE competitive drill between the two
fire companies Saturday afternoon was a
great success. At least, so they say.
Several men were hurt, one OF them
badly. The whole community stood by
to look on and keep from getting killed
and the fremen acquitted themselves
bravely. At o'clock, two strokes OF the
bell at the tower started seemingly
sleeping community into action. In a
few moments two flaming engines were
tearing down towards the corner of King
and Fort streets. Any unoffending
passer, a family carriage with ladies and
children for instance, would have been
run over and killed, perhaps; but this
would probably not have stopped the
praiseworthy and headlong competition.
At the corner of Merchant street the No
2's were ahead, and large share of the
energies of the men seemed to be de-
voted to keeping out of the way of the
fire, which besides pouring out of the
funnel sent fierce tongues out of the fur
mace door. Here a man and an axe went
to the ground but the race went on. No
doubt exercise and drilling are excellent
and will bear fruit at the next fire, but
whenever the engines are to take posses
sion of the streets for race upon prior
notice, the community will feel safer to
be excluded by the strong arms of police
men stationed at every corner of the
streets raced on.

TIE Bulletin intimates that the
arrangement whereby the Supreme
Court sat in banco last week is a good
and praiseworthy one. 1t is quite posi-
BILE that not even all of the members of
the Court agree with this opinion; GER
tainly, outside of the Court this is the
case. The Judges are one class of
public servants and should perform their
duties in such a manner as to best
accommodate the public and at the same
time facilitate the despatch of the bust
ness of the Courts. There are just four
months in the year when parties can get
jury trials. The calendar of this term is
a large one. Suitors, witnesses and
jurors are waiting for cases to be called,
but all of the cases have been put off.
Just quarter of the time in which jury
trials might have been held has gone
and none have been held. Meantime
through with and one of the inevitable
results must be that Mr.. Justice Nc
Gully cannot give his time and atten-
ton to the consideration of these cases,
for he will be occupied the next three
weeks with trials. 1t is probable that a
few of the cases are decided already, but
those involving very important questions
and which should receive careful consid-
Grafton must either be decided by part
OF the Court or be put over till after the
close of the term, when the freshness
and vigor derived from the argument
will be gone. 1t is only just to say that
jurors have, by the courtesy of the pre-
siding Justice, been excused till called,
SO they have not been waiting. The
jury calendar probably cannot be all
tried in the remaining three weeks of
the term. To have had all trials first,
and banco afterwards, it seems to us,
would have best conserved the general
interests.

portion is maintained for the rest OF the
period as has been for the past few
months, the funds received from this
source will be amply sufficient for all the
needs of Government without having to
issue bonds on a loan. The Postmaster
General is sanguine of a continuance Of
the aggregate of monthly deposits; as
many depositors who had reached the
previous limit of 81 900 arc now filling
in to the new limit of $4,000, and many
new depositors are daily placing their
funds in the Bank in Honolulu and its
numerous postal branches throughout
the country.
The following table shows the amount
of business done since the close OF the
last biennial period, or from April l, '80:

A Personal Protest.

Mr.. EDITOR; Please allow poor but
handwriting mechanic few lines in
your valuable paper. [ have been resi-
dent of the Hawaiian Islands for period
of twenty years, and can say without
hesitation that my work has at all times
been done to the entire satisfaction of
customers, and have always done my
duties as citizen, although 1 am not in
accord with the opinions of some of these
self-styled true Christians. I do not OBJ
ject to true christianity, but do hate
hypocrites. There is one of these self
styled Christians at Koloa who, because
[ cannot. honestly concur in his notions
about christianity, has been doing all in
his power to injure me, wherein he has
been quite successful, as he is a man
who commands some influence. But is
such conduct Christian? Surely he
knows the illegality of his actions, but
he also knows that my poverty prevents
me from instituting proceedings against
him for libel and boycotting. There is,
no other way left for me but to apply to
the people for justice and fair play.

Drunkenness and Insanity.

So large is the number of persons
taken to Bellevue Hospital, New York,
who have been made insane through
intemperance, that the Insane Pavilion
may we'll be named after this class of
patients. From five to ten persons are
taken to the hospital every day for ex-
animation, and of these the majority are
the result of Incorporate habits. So
far as appears, the insanity so produced
is not form of delirium tremens, which
more or less temporary in its nature, but
a loss of reason, which may be as per-
manent as from any cause whatever
What is still more serious, this class of
sufferers has doubled within year, and
is five times as great as it was five years
ago. No wonder that one of the officials
at the hospital remarked that it was the
strongest and most practical kind of tenn
perance lesson of which he knew.

interests.

THE extraordinary success which the
Postal Savings Bank has achieved almost
from its first inception has been matter
of surprise to even its most sanguine
supporters; and affords excellent evil
dence of the abundant thrift and pros
perity of the several nationalities and
classes of people that comprise its list of
depositors.
With the laws passed at the recent
session of the Legislature the Postal
Bank now offers the best and safest
security for depositors. The limit of de-
post being placed at $1,000 is ample
enough to accommodate the laborer and
small capitalists for whose special benefit
the institution is established, and affords
them undoubted security for their money,
the Postmaster-General holding Hawa-
iian Government per cent. bonds as
security for depositors and prompt repay
ment being guaranteed.
Mr.. Poor, with the approval of the
Postmaster-Genera has kindly furnished
the following statistics: Up to Septem-
Der 30th the amount on deposit is $685.
933 06 and the number of pass books
issued to date is 2,166. The deposits are
steadily increasing, and if the same pro-

THE mission of the reform movement
will be successful, if in addition to secur-
| ing honest government for the general
| good, the industries of the country are
so fostered as to renew the prosperity OF
the early days of the Reciprocity treaty.
| In spite of the croaking of some people
the public has confidence in the govern
ment. One of the best evidences of this
| is the large increase in deposits in the
Postal Savings Bank. The month of
| September witnessed deposits of very
nearly $37 800. Not only are the small
| savings of the wage earners put there,
| but large deposits of two thousand dol
lars and over have increased. This
indicates not only confidence in the
stability of the country, but shows that
| it is not easy to procure investments at
the present time. This ought not to be
so. There is need enough of renewed
industries to use all of the surplus earn
ings of the people. Why are not these
industries undertaken? Surely our capt.
talists, who have become such largely
through the success of the sugar and rice
industries, ought not to refrain wholly
from new enterprises. We need here a
few more such men as RalstOn, of the
Bank of California, who in spite of his
failure at last did more for the material
development of California than almost
any other of her great citizens. Coffee
can be a success and a source of income
here exactly as we'll as in CeylOn or any
other place. The same is true of ramie,
of wool, of many other industries yet
untried here. The great land owners of
the country are the greater debtors.
They commit a grievOus mistake, not to
say sin, if they simply lie back at ease
drawing the income which the land will
produce without effort, instead of max
ing active and intelligent efforts to pro-
cure a resident population upon the
land. 1t is also a very short-sighted
policy, for the unimproved lands of the
country are capable of such develop
ment as will produce ten times the
present income. If the large lands near
Honolulu, for instance, were put in such
shape as to be Obtainable in small lots
on reasonable terms, we should see
them settled, instead of wringing our
hands in vexation and dismay at the
constant steady drain upon our laboring
population witnessed upon the depart
ure of every outgoing steamer. Our
barren lands are quite as capable of be-
coming productive as the great wastes of
California which bloom as the rose to-
day, simply because of the energy and
foresight of the people who have brought
water there by saving the winters sup
ply and distributing it slowly over the
year. Our citizens cannot show conf
dence in the government and the coun-
try in any stronger manner than by
vigorous and hearty response to the
efforts made and making to improve the
country. New roads and bridges, land
ings, wharves and other appliances are
rapidly opening up the country and
bringing new sections into access from
the coast

The RunOver Case.

Rev. DIR. Smith went to see the
mother of the little girl run over by a
hack on Tuesday last, but all his persua-
sion failed to get her consent to having
a doctor attend the sufferer. There is
danger that the child's life will be will
fully sacrificed to its mothers wicked
obstinacy.
: Turner, the hackman arrested for
needless driving in the case, was re-
leased Saturday upon the deposit of 5000
bail by DR.. McWayne. AS the highest
penalty for putting any person in danger
through reckless driving is $500, the
bail might have been that amount.

few words in your next Mondays issue?

space to the notice of the Woman's Board
meeting yesterday. Remembering the
injunction, " Honor to whom honor is
DUE" and not wishing to appear to claim
for our Board any work that We do not
do, feel obliged to ask for correction
in the report. The two Chinese schools
to be established in this district are
not under this Board. They are to be
Chinese Sabbath schools, and are to be
under the supervision Of Christian work
ers in the city. Mention was made of
them at the meeting because of the in
terest our ladies feel in the Chinese
work, in all its departments. Very re-
