natives were debarred from voting

Noble Baldwin said several intel
ligent Hawaiians were On the COM
mittee, who agreed that the change
in the property qualification was
sufficient without touching that of
income. Hawaiians had a grievance
which he admitted in high property
qualification. The committee concl1d.
ed that 1t was reasonable to require
that the voter should be subject.
Both these amendments should be
considered together, when it would
be seen that they shut off large
number OF voters against whom the
Hawaiians objected. Taking both
charges together the proposed am
endment of the Article should allay
the feeling OF Hawaiians. There
should be some distinction between
voters for Mobiles and for Represen-
tatives, but the amendment of Rep.
Bush would in some districts have
the effect, practically, of putting all
the voters on the same level. In
such case they might as well make

MAUI NOTES,

The bicycist Mr.. Maltby enlivened
the people of Waikiki by perfor-
nance last Saturday in the skating
rink. A large audience applauded
the excellent skill, with which he
rides his steel horse. Last night he
gave an exhibition at Paia and had
very good house.
The burglar scare from Honolulu
has reached Waikiki. A couple of
weeks ago the Waikiki market
premises were entered and the safe
cleaned out. About $500 in coin
was taken besides a number of very
valuable papers, the property of
Mr.. Goodness. Attempts have been
made to break into other residences
but without success. OF course the
police is asleep, although suspicion
points strongly in certain direc-
ton. In case of Chinaman hav-
ing opium in possession we always
find the police on the alert, but they
do not feel themselves called upon
to protect the taxpayers property.
or course in the opium case the
police gets share of the fine and of
the opium, while there is nothing
in catching a burglar. A splendid
system
The 10th. of November will he
celebrated on the 18th by several in
teresting horse races at Kahului.
Honolulu sports had better come
up and give the Maui boys the re-
vanche for last meeting.
We regret to learn that Mr.. Philip
Moudt, for a number of years pay
master of the Hawaiian Commercial
and Sugar Co., at Spreckelsville,
has resigned his position. Mr..
Moudt will be greatly missed by his
many friends on this Island and also
by the workingmen on SpreckeIs.
vile, for whom he always was ready
with advise and assistance. We
hope that when Mr.. Moudt departs
from the country at the end of this
month, he will carry with him many
pleasant "reminiscences from the
years he has spent on Maui, and we
wish him success wherever he goes.

enter largely into the construction of the
mercantile marine Of the United States,
says a writer in the Chicago Inter Ocean.
Since this change the use of metal in
ship building has greatly increased, and
in vessels propelled by steam has prac-
tically usurped the place Of wood. 1t
has extended over the transatlantic,
transpacifc, and cOastWise trade to our
own lakes, and the network of rivers and
canals, whose ramifcatiOns extend the
advantages of water transportation over
a great area of the United States.
1t has been said that the change from
wood to metal was not a good one; that
stout oak would Withstand a greater
strain than steel, and that wooden
vessel on rocky reef would live longer
than a ship constructed of iron or steel.
Without touching the relative merits of
material used in the construction of the
huIIs, the purpose of this article is to
show to what an extent, in architecture.
the boat of the lakes differs from that Of
deep and tide water.

When a survey was held on the PIN
leo, to ascertain what strain and wear
she had sustained in her six-weeks' ordeal,
she showed up as sound and as tight as
she was the day she was launched. A
regular ocean sailor, I warrant, would
never have weathered that storm as she
did.
"Why, there is not a bottom on these
lakes but will drown an ocean vessel in a
storm. I would consider myself safer
aboard the Owego, the Chemung, Sus-
quehanna, or a dozen other vessels I
could name, in a storm on the Atlantic
than I would on any of the big ocean
liners. They are more buoyant. They
have not got twenty-six or twenty eight
feet Of hull under water. They rise up
with the swell and ride it out. The seas
would not mount them and sweep every
thing of the decks. Their lifting power
is greater and their displacement less. I
hold, too, that all gales on these lakes
are a great deal more severe than on the
ocean, and that our shipping passes as
severe tests as any in the world. The
seas here are shorter and more choppy.
The heavy, short, breaking sea is the
dangerous one.
And, then, look at the rapid strides
our lake marine has been making. Take,
for example, such boats as the America

or the A. P. Wright. Either of these will
take on load of 100, 600 bushels of grain
here and 60 to Buffalo, and the running
expenses q either boat will be less than
incurred by the OId-fashioned carriers of
twenty years ago, that had all they could
take care of in a load of rs, 600 or 30, 600
bushels. The evolution in marine archi-
lecture on these lakes has been something
remarkable. Where in former years they
launched ten schoOners for every one
steamboat the order is now reversed.
The schooner in twenty years hence will
be an obsolete institution. Steam has
almost wholly supplanted canvas. Steam
steering gear, steam capstan and the
many auxiliary engines now aboard of
steamer, in former years were unthOught
of. No; I am laIler from keel to mast
head. I believe we are far ahead of the
saltwater merchantmen. Our models,
our strength Of build. our capacities,
everything save speed, have been keeping
pace with the modern style of cOnstruc-
ton"

the st. Lawrence River. The boat got out
and ran into the Atlantic in the teeth
Of q westerly gale. She was a typical
laker, bluff ottOmed, rOomy beneath the
water line, and of little draft. Well, sir,
she got the weather good and hard She
lost one Of her spars, and her canvas was
torn into shreds. To make a long story
short, she was driven before the westerly
gales for six weeks, disabled and without
enough canvas TO give her steerageway.
In this fashion she scudded from st.
Johns to within 500 miles of Cork, where
a steamer picked her up and towed her
into port. IF ever vessel was put to the
test, the PimhcO was. I hold that the
one thing that saved her was her bluff
hull. She would mount the heavy seas
as they come along, instead of having
them jump and spend their force against
her sides, as in the case Of the deep
draft vessels. A shOal vessel will make
better weather in a gale of wind and a
heavy sea, and will show up with com
paratively dry decks alongside a vessel
of the same size drawing eighteen or
twenty feet Of water.

PRETTY Girls i'm Cagas.

One of the pretty sights in the

ladies in cages. Pretty women are not
so scarce in the department that when
they get hold of one they put her in a
cage, but the ladies referred to oc-
cupy their little prisons in accordance
with an old custom The Comptroller
of the Currency has decided to revive
a system in vogue some years ago by
putting a safeguard around the coun-
ters of money and isolating them in
little iron cages. They are put in
their prisons in the morning, large
piles of notes are given them, and
there they sit all day long counting
the currency as fast as their fingers
ran move. The only communication
the ladies have with any one outside
Of their cages is through a speaking
tube connecting them with the Chief
Of the Bureau. The ladies, naturally,

And into the midst of the gOssips Of Poke,

Hoped the UgGest goblin ever was seen;
His face was black, his eyes were red,
