To-day the height of extravaganza and
in coffins and caskets. They are made of
rosewood, mahogany, walnut, maple and
cheaper woods, with sliding handles, carved
by skilled designers, and the most gorgeous
silver plates and religious emblems imagin-
able. Some undertakers have recently
made caskets costing from 81 500 to $4,000
apiece, and very ordinary affairs fetch $500
each. The costliest silbs ard satins and
Iaces are obtained for Innings, end several
sorts of patent metallic caskeis of great
durability are manufactured. There are
dealers in undertakers' supplies in this city
who do an annual business of millions. But
few coffirs are made here, most of those
used in this part of the country coming
from Cincinnati.

The letter of 'Makaainana' in
Thursdays Bulletin is fair sample
of the usual trash which is published
in defamation of the present Min
istry, and does not of itself merit
any more than the similar anony-
nous illusions which glut the daily
press. The unusual thing about it,
however, was the fact that by a neat
accident the same issue of the paper
contained REPUTATION of the charge
made by the unknown author against
the Ministry. The letter is by this
time forgotten, probably, and we
only revive it to point a moral.
The author accused the Ministry
OF encouraging Government officials
not to trouble themselves about the
provision OF the election law. The
very same issue of the Bulletin con-
tanned an official notice by the Min
lister of the Interior, calling the spe-
cial attention of all ofice-holders to

ANOTHER RoUsER.

Ward Two Falls in Line for Reform.
At a meeting of the Second Ward
which was held at st. Adams school,
Mr.. H Won Holt called the meeting to
order at 10 P. NJ. Upon motion ]. III.
Patty was called to the chair. Mr.. w.
Jones was appointed temporary secre-
tary. On motion a committee of five
was appointed on permanent organiza-
ton as follows: I'll. Won Holt, S. K.
Pulikapu, T. Sorenson, J. d. Tucker and
Daniela.
The committee on organization pre-
sented the following list which was en-
Enthusiastically endorsed: j. FL. Patty,
chairman; S. K. Kane. vice chairman;
w. II. Hoogs, secretary and treasurer:
Executive committee: r. ). Greene,

Waterhouse, J. X. Naone, IL. Vereira,

Upcn the return of the committee,
Mr.. Ell. Won Holt presented the Constitu-
ton.
Mr.. Henry Waterhouse moved that
the Constitution be read in Hawaiian,
which was accordingly done and &C
cepted.
The report of the committee was
adopted.
The Hon. W.O. Smith moved that
voters present sign the Constitution OF
the club; and all of those present came
forward and signed their names in sup
port of the Reform movement.
The Hon. A. Rosa made an objection as
to qualifications of members, and ques-
toned the boundaries of the election dis
trict; but his objections were overruled.
The Hon. W. o. Smith then proposed
that some speeches should be made, and
upon a general call, Mr.. g. L. Carter
made some very pertinent remarks upon
Constitutional government.
The Hon. A. s. Hartwell followed with
some excellent views upon self-govern-
ment, showing that the present Reform
government was an effort of government
s'for the people, and by the people,
The Hon. A. Rosa was then called
upon, and made few remarks in which
he stated that he was in opposition to
the Ministry, and so preferred to refrain
from giving an expression of his sent
ments at this stage of the political move
ment.
The Hon. Lorrin A. Thurston being
loudly called upon gave an exposition of
the ministerial standpoint. He said, in
substance, that a great deal too much
had been made in this country of the
personality of this or that ministry. The
issue before the country was not the
present ministry but was the measures
that they could bring forward properly
backed. He did not want anybody to
back the ministry upon its mere person
ality but the ministerial platform was
before the country and upon that those
present might make their election.
Minister Thurston's speech, of which
only brief resume is given, was re-
ceived with prolonged applause.
The Hon. w. 0. Smith spoke in Ha-
waiian, his political remarks being en-
Enthusiastically applauded by his auditors.
The meeting then adjourned subject to
the call of the chairman.

Finance and Commerce of Brazil.

The public debt of Brazil was es-
timated by the Statesman's Year
Book to be on December 81, 1883.
$l02,775, 100, or in round numbers
about $500,000,000. According to a
revised budget estimate for 1889 the
revenues will amount to about $751;
100000, and the expenditures to
about S84,00O,000. The foreign
trade of Brazil IN 1883 was valued at
about 1927 100000, imports being
valued at about $122. 100000 and ex-
ports at about $115,000,0OO. The
principal articles of import into
Brazil are cotton goods, wines and
spirits, preserved meat and fish,
wooden goods, farinaceous foods,
coal, linen goods and iron and steel.
OF the import trade of Great Britain
has the largest share, over 40 per
cent. France coming second, Ger
many third, Spain fourth and the
United States fifth. The principal
exports of Brazil are coffee, sugar,
cotton, india rubber, tobacco, hides,
fruits, and chemicals and drugs. OF
the export trade the United States
takes the greatest share, over 45 per
cent, Great Britain comes second,
and France, Germany and Spain
follow in order. The exports sent
from the United States to Brazil in
1888 amounted to $7,137, 008 or LOO
per cent. of our total exports. The
imports into the United States from
Brazil amounted, on the other hand,
to $50, 710,234 or 7.42 per cent. of our
total imports.

SATURDAY, DEC. %, 1889.

AN editorial in the Luso of Dec.
2lst, which was written in reply to
an attack on Portuguese immigra-
ton in the Aurora of the 14th inst,
contains some interesting statements
in regard to the condition of the
Portuguese settlers in these islands.
The article in the Aurora had
warned their countrymen at home
not to come here, as they would find
themselves in hopeless state of
''vassalage," and had urged them to
emigrate to Brazil or North America
or even Africa in preference to these
islands. In reply to this, the writer
in the Luso calls attention to the fact
that the Portuguese here have de-
posted over $4,000 in the Postal
Savings Bank, besides the large
amounts which have been RENTED
to their relatives in the 'old country"
and the money which, from want of
confidence, is simply boarded or
buried. He goes on to estimate the
taxable property of the Portuguese
at $890,000, basing this valuation on
the assessment of 1888, which makes
total of $97O,OOO.
Farther on he states that there are
not more than about 800 Portuguese
working under contracts out of about
5000 laborers.
He refers to the fact that the de-
mand for labor is greater than the
supply, and points to the thriving
settlement at Punchbowl Hill, inhab-
tied by free laborers, and to the
numerous ranches and small farms
owned by Portuguese in different
parts of the country. Beminding
the Aurora of the sad experience of
many of their countrymen, who have
left these islands to seek their for
tune in California, he closes by say
ing that these islands are the asylum
of the poor, where those who wish
work can always find it.
