DISMISSAL OF THE POSTMASTER
GENERAL.

Under date of May ,, the Minis.
ter of Finance addressed the Post
master-General, requesting his re-
signation, to take effect the 18th

action has been taken at the re-
quest of Her Majesty the Queen.

taken at the instance of Mr.. Bush,

quent allusions not very compIi-
mentary to the Minister for his
dilatoriness in not removing all the
old officers of the Government.
% To the victors belong the spoils, -
is one of the articles of faith of the
IA Leo. In consequence Of these
frequent attacks, the removal of
this officer has been looked for,
and probably others will follow,
not from any want Of competency
on his or their part, but solely to
pacify the crowd of Office seekers.
Mr.. Wundenburg entered the
postal service during the admins
tratiOn of Mr.. Gibson. in 1885 at
the time of the appointment of J..
L. KauIukou as P. II. G., and to
take the place previously filed by
Mr.. I. B. Peterson, Mr.. KauIukou
having been shortly after appoint
ed Marshal, Mr.. Wundenburg was
promoted to be Postmaster Gen
eraI. The Postal Savings Bank had
recently been opened, and to the
new and increased duties of the
service, he brought the business
training which he had received in
two Of the largest mercantile
houses in this city, and has con-
Quoted the bureau with a success
which is a credit to him and an
honor to the Government.
The postal service differs in
some respects from every other in
the government, in that it is the
only one, in which every indIvid-
ual is more or less concerned in
its being conducted with regularity
and dispatch. Any negligence on
the part of the employees, post
masters or carriers in any part of
the kingdom, is quickly discovered
and brings with it complaints Of
irregularities which sometimes are
not easily traced out, and the
responsible parties held to account
Yet from an intimate acquaintance
with the workings of the service
during several years past, we can
say that there have been fewer

PRINCE BISMARCK.

The re-entry into public life OF
Prince Bismarck by way OF a seat in
the Reichstag does not appear 10
be so widely wished for as was
supposed, although the check re-
ceived by the Prince at Geeste-
munde appears to have been in
ficted by an alliance between the
Socialists and discontented groups
Of the Progressits and even Of the
Government parties.
However. the Prince has tacitly
agreed TO try re-ballOt in Geeste-
munde and TO become Z candidate
in Lehe district, where it is said
that he is certain of being return
ed. The victory, such as it is, of
his opponents is by no means all
satisfaction, many papers that have
been opposing the Prince seem
astonished and veXed 1T their own
success, and argue that, the cleo
tors having given a lesson TO the
Prince as 10 his pride, should now
recognize the great services that he
has rendered TO his country by
giving him an overwhelming ma
iority.
To Us here It may seem 4 matter
Of small moment, but the mighty
empires of the old world, no less
than the great Republic Of the
new. impress their individuality on
contemporary affairs directly or in
directly, and the great intellectual
prominence Of the Prince has been
for so many years an etfectual
agent IN directing the affairs Of
half the civilized world, that the
effect cannot suddenly cease direct
ly the hand is OF the helm.
For twenty years since peace
was signed at Frankfort, Prince
Bismarck has been looked upon as
the guardian of the peace of Eu-
rope. In 1873 1t was Bismarck
who rendered possible the Treaty
Of Berlin, which took the place of
the impractieable agreement of San
Stefano, and his countrymen are
TOO well aware of the eager ill-will
that is watching Central Europe
from both east and west, to reject
the services Of their most able man,
and the young Emperor is too
clear sighted TO play into the hands
Of the ultra-Socialists by a dissolu-
ton Of the Reichstag as q conse-
quence Of the election of Prince
Bismarck.

SUMMARY.

The full consequences of the
change in the Q. S. tariff as affect
ing Hawaii have not yet been felt
or indeed accurately gauged. How.
ever, one thing is tolerably certain
and that is that our sugar planters
will receive much lower prices fol-
their produce than have ruled
since the great depression Of six
years ago, and that values of prop
erty generally must fall consider
ably. Nevertheless the new IN
dertakings to which we referred
last month are being pressed on
hopefully.
In particular, we understand that
the quality and market value Of
Hawaiian coffee is highly spoken
of. even in the husk. by expert
enced coffee dealers from the
Coast.
The japanese steamer Yamashiro
Maru brought in 1901 immigrants,
who have been distributed amongst
the plantations who had applied.
Sixty-hve japanese and thirty odd
Cinnamon have left the Kingdom
during the month.
In our issue Of April 3Oth we
gave a most graphic and complete
picture of the then condition Of
the crater of Kilauea, now again
filling up with molten lava.
The area of the great breakdown
which engulfed Hale-mau-mau,
Dana Lake, New Lake, II or 10
active blowholes and the bluffs
surrounding the pits, was described
by Prof. Brigham as 5000 feet by
$500 feet, forming a pit with an
estimated depth of 500 feet, the
sides being perpendicular, with the
major axis lying E. and ".
Three weeks after the collapse
the lava began to reappear and by
the 26th ult. it had risen in the pit
about 100 feet, virtually forming
lake of liquid lava 25O to 300 feet
IN diameter. The level of this lake
is now reported to be rising and
falling as much as forty to fifty feet
within an hour, most splendid
sight and singularly favorable
opportunity 10 see a wonderful
phase of this great volcano.

of April differ little from those of
