Only, If any one who knew the inside his
tory of the English nobility were to GO care
fully through that ponderous volume, the
British peerage, annotating the pages az he
read, the result would furnish some remark
ably spicy reading.
The comparative and praiseworthy purity
of English morals, as contrasted with those
Of the French, lies in the outward cleanliness
of their literature and art. The novels and
plays, the prints and the Photographic, and
the columns of the daily papers are wholly
free from indecorousness, unless indsed the
details Of some peculiarly sensational divorce
case dis6gures the latter. For your British
moralist does not disdain to write very nasty
things, If only they be true, on such ocoa-
sions. The publication, for instance, of the
Colin Campbell divorce suit would have
been as impossible for the French papers as
| would that Of Zola's novel, "La Terre," in
an unmodifed form, for the English ones.
Bat what is the use of keeping the British
young person strictly secluded from all sight
and knowledge OF vice, II, on her introduce
ton to society, she finds herself face to face
with vice itself, srrayed in velvet and dia-
monds, and smiled upon by all that is most
exclusive and severe. A dozen immoral nov
els and score of improper pictures would
hardly do that typical personage's principles
half as much harm as does the spectacle of q
fair female sinner. courted and caressed in
| fashionable society by just the very lndivid-
| ual, whose notice is considered best worth
| having.
American society is far more particular in
this respect, and long may it remain SO. But
the power of this reigning nzlomsnia is
! very great. and under its influence some
| strange things have already happened. That
| handsome ex.mistress of the Prince OF
Wales did not meet with rapturous recep-
ton in New York society few years ago
was largely due to change. Still, she was
not received-to the credit of our American
hostesses be it said. But British peers, tray
cling with the wives of other men and
leaving their own at home, or else the heroes
of the most hideous of European scandals,
have found great social acceptation and
lordly entertainment in our principal Ameri-
can cities. Msy these instances prove
isolated ones, and may the experiences OF
the past teach our people lesson for the
| future.

Rep. Nawahi thought the remarks OF
the hon. member from Honolulu very
extraordinary. He favored the subsidy
for the Oceanic Steamship Company. II
it is good thing for Honolulu to have a
steamship line, why not for Hilo? As
soon as he has got what he wants for
Honolulu. he is satisfied. We ought to
act in fair and equitable manner. The
country members voted for the Oceanic
Steamship Company subsidy. II the
hon. member will be consistent and OPP
pose that, am willing 20 have him OPP
pose this. Ii the hon. member wanted
to 90 TO San Francisco, he would not go
on one OF those sailing vessels he is talk
ing SO much about. We want TO get
something for the outer districts. We
are willing that Honolulu shall have the
lions share. The hon. member, like a
great many other Honolulu people, is
jealous OF Hilo and other country places.
He doesn't want Hilo to raise It's head
out of the mud. The hon. member says
We will soon have Geographic communi-
| cation, and then We shan't need a
steamer Does he mean we will get our
| goods by telegraph? / don't think he
| goes as far as that. | don't think the
member from Honolulu is acting in a
very fair manner. don't wonder that he
| has run out OF the room.

"The public will watch the kick
of the spoilsmen of '87 with great
interest, since it is likely to fully
illustrate one of the chief monkey
characteristics alleged by extreme
evolutionists to be dorman in that
political animal called man, viz. /.

PERHAPS so. But the public is
already satiated with the study OF
those other SimIan qualities of that
same Bellows writer, viz The
tendency to hang by the tail and
sec everything wrong side up,
coupled with the disposition to
stow everything in his "cheek"
and draw on that reservoir for sup

Mr.. EDIToR-I see by to-night's
Bulletin that " w. G.. s." claims to
have visited the new lake named
" Clementson's Delight" on the
night Of the 10th inst on which
date the new lake was formed. l
beg to say that l was in the crater
of kilauea from before 10 A. NJ. till
p. NJ. on the 18th Inst, and on
THAT day there was no new lake.
Two cones, some hundred feet
apart, located where the new lake
now is, were now and again throw
ing up a little lava, and | noted in
the record book at the Volcano
House that one of these cones
looked as if it would soon fall in
and become lake.
On the night of the 10th, there
were flows from both of these
cones, and On the 18th | walked
over the same. A cone from which
lava flows is not to my mind a
lake, though in days, weeks, or
months it may cave in and become
one. Two years ago | visited such
cone, and got many specimens of
coin in lava from 1T, and while so
doing a flow some fifty feet long
and several feet wide came from
the cone This time saw the same
cone, dead and cold poor thing,
nobody's darling). 1t meant to
have been somebody's delight" "
but forgot to cave in. Furthermore
the guide told me that w. G. S.
and companion spent some hours at
'Dana Lake" on the 10th after
dark, and seeing no fire, started
back, and on the way saw the light
from these flows; that one of the
two wished to go over and see if it
was a lake, but the other objected
to so doing on account of lack of
time, they having to catch the
Kinau at Hilo at noon on the 11th,
so they returned to the Volcano
House. Mr.. Maby's version of it
was that one of the gentlemen
wished to leave the beaten path,
and go over the flow, but the other
gentleman had borrowed PAIR of
shoes for the trip into the crater,
and they proving too large, his feet
were by this time too sore to do
any extra tramping.
On the 18th inst. native police
man coming from Kau brought
word to Hilo that the crater was
again active, which was, l believe,
the first heard of the new lake in
Hilo. f. O. WHITE.

No member of this community
knows but that tomorrow his near
est and dearest relative, or even he
himself, may become an inmate OF
that institution; and the thought
is revolving that restoration to rea-
son or consignment TO the living
grave Of q maniac's life of some
loved one is to depend on the at
tention to duty of one who at q
critical moment may go off on a
drunken spree.
In the name of humanity we pro-
test against this proposed desecra-
ton of the rights of the community.
If Mr.. Spencer "cannot stand the
pressure" and has not the indepen-
dence to abide by his oath and adj
minister his office as best he can,
but has to register the decree of the
unseen politicians behind the
door, he can at least spare the
country the indignlty, the disgrace
and the wrong of 40 appointment
of this character.
In making these statements, We
distinctly disavow any personal
animosity towards DIR. Oliver, but
we speak solely in behalf of the
unfortunate wards of the nation
who have become deprived of rea'
son, and are therefore helpless tc
plead for themselves. Christian
charity demands that the public
voice be raised in their behalf
! Ii the physician who has fol
three years tended them so faith
fully and so kindly, and with sucl
eminent success. is to be displaced
for Gods sake let them at least b,
placed in the care of physician t.
whom sane persons can trust them
selves and confide in. DR.. Olive
is not such an one.

THE PROPOSED SUPERIN-
TENDENT OF THE IN
SANE ASYLUM.

DR.. Richard Oliver is publicly a
candidate for Superintendent of the
Insane Asylum.
1t rs the duty of the public press
to publish any reasons, if reasons
there are, why candidates for public
office should not be appointed or
elected.
We have no personal feeling
against DR.. Oliver, and have
nothing to say against his char
acter or probity as private citi--
zen. We regret that the necessity
has arisen which requires that
statements derogatory to him
should in the public interest be
printed but the public interests re-
quire in this instance the perform
ance of an unpleasant duty.
DIR. Oliver is a man who is
totally unfit to hold the response
deposition of Superintendent of the
Insane Asylum, by reason of the
fact that he is an Incorporate man,
and has been so for years. He has
ut different times held the position
of Government physician in both
Kona and Kau, and repeatedly dis.
graced himself and his position,
and endangered life by his drunk
enness and neglect of professional
duty.
The proofs of what We state are
abundant and reliable. The facts
are known to the community al
large, and if they are not known to
Mr.. Spencer and the Cabinet they
ought to be, and they can easily
find them out.
To put such man as this
in charge of an Insane Asylum and
its helpless inmates is an outrage
on decency and humanity.

THE IL. AND q. PLANS.
Reported Purchase of Land on the
River Above Georgetown.

The Baltimore and Ohio railroad has recently.
it is said. made purchase of real estate which
has given rise to a good deal of speculation as
to its future plans. 1t is reported that the
company has bought the Freeman tract of land
which is near the Chain Bridge, on the Conduit
road between the receiving and distributing
reservoirs. 1t is thought that this purchase
forms part of a comprehensive scheme to Sc
cure southern connections for the Baltimore
and Ohio system at this city. This scheme in
cludes the building of a road from some point
on the Metropolitan branch in the vicinity of
Knowles station in westerly direction through
Montgomery county and then into the District
to the Chain Bridge and the new property re-
Gently acquired by the road. 1t is also said
that q bridge will be erected across the river at
this point and thence road will be built along
the Virginia shore to Alexandria or to some
place where a connection can be made with the
Richmond and Danville system. 1t is said that
the recent efforts reported to have been made
to secure the transfer of a large block of the
Baltimore and Ohio stock to the Richmond
Terminal Company is part of this general
scheme, which will give both roads important
connections. 1t is also said that the building
OF this branch will be followed by the building
OF road along this side of the river to George
town, thus giving the Baltimore and Ohio Com
pany direct connection between the coal
fields about Cumberland and tide water at this
city.

AN USHER AND A SENATOR.
A COlored Circus EmplOye Fined for
Assault and Profanity.


VIM. Lemoyne, coored man wearing the
uniform of circus employe, was behind the
bars at the Police Court today charged with
assaulting Geo. b. Eustis, son Of Senator
Eustis, and also with using profane language.
Lemoyne was employed as an usher at the
circus last night and the alleged assault was
committed just in front of the reserved seats.
Tie Senator's son entered the section in which
seats were reserved and Lemoyne asked him to
show his tickets. The tickets were not forth
coming, and a war of words between them
followed, in which Lemoyne. it is charged
made use of profane language. During the
discussion, according to the testimony offered
against him IN court today, Lemoyne took
hold OF Young Eustis several times, and that is
what constituted the assault charged
The offensive language used by Lemoyne at
tracted the Senator to them and he said to the
colored man, You must not use such out
rageous language in the presence of ladies'"
the Senator, II don't care a--- for you g"
III report you to Mr.. Barnum," said the
Senator, to which the colored usher replied,
II don't care - for Mr. Barnum"
This was the story substantially as told by
the Senator and his son this morning but the
defendant made denial. He accused young
Mr.. Eustis of having used the first bad lam
guage and said he referred to him as a d
Niger" and threatened to knock his d head
off"
Judge Miller, in dsposing Of the case, said
that Mr.. Barnum would do well to get man
who better understands his business
THE trouble" said the judge, lis that these
circus men think that the people they have to
deal with are all like themselves. but they
sometimes make a mistake, as in this case"
For the assault fine of $40 and for the dis
orderly conduct fine of go was imposed. In
default of the fines the prisoner will have to
serve three months
