stopped, but the people can break
up the ring, set their foot upon the
head of the snake, and kill it.

There are certain vices which
seem to be looked upon leniently
by the mass of people, as if the
practice of them involved no loss
Of honor. Opium smuggling seems
to- be one of these fashionable vices.
History and fiction throw over it a
coloring of romance. How pictur-
esque parsonage is Rob Roy, the
Matchmaking and smuggling hero
of every boy. Yet the blackmailer
in our day is anything but a polite
figure, and why should the snug
gler be anything different? There
is no reason for separating the two
roles. One is as reputable as the
other. The smuggler, like the
burglar, the shop-lifter and the con-
fidence man, is simply a thief.
Our opium ring may be made up
of very "gentlemanly" men, who
wear good clothes, drive fast horses
and drink only the best whisky,
but they no less belong, one and
all, to the criminal classes, and
they ought all to be wearing a ball
and chain, spending their days on
the roads and their nights on the
reef.
How to get them there is the
problem. But one thing is certain
the first condition necessary is an
aroused public sentiment. The
people should compel the Legisla
ture to take up the matter, and not
abandon it until it is ferretted out
If this course is followed the nuts
ance will be abated, even if the
malefactors are not published.

THE OPIUM sMUGGLERS.

Inc mysterious SCnOOuerS,
strange" sails and unknown craft
generally are getting to be so COM
mon that it is growing to be an old
story for island steamers to report
sighting them, and the strange
has changed into the common
place. One imagines the gentle
men" of the opium ring of this
town, like the criminals of other
cities, reading the accounts of these
things in the papers, and smiling
as they say to themselves, Yes,
that was our schooner John Smith.
She landed 1900 tins at Waianae,"
etc., etc.
1t is impossible not to connect
the frequent appearance of the
mysterious schooners with the
operations of the opium ring.
Many indications go to show that
these operations are conducted on
a grand scale, and that a large
number of persons must be con-
cerned in them. The cheapness
and the plentiful consumption of
the drug, are of themselves ample
evidence. One cannot help won
dering how long this state of
affairs will continue, and how long
the public will sit by with folded
hands and consent to have the
laws made of none effect by gang
of pirates.
The interests involved here are
far more serious than any mere
matter of money. It is not ques-
ton simply of the loss of revenue
to the government, great as that is.
The credit of the government itself,
the esteem in which the laws are
held, and in the long run, the
peace and safety of the nation are
all at stake. The corrupt rings
which fasten themselves from time
to time upon the administration Of
governments, are a sickness which
threatens the very life and the
nation in which patriotism and
civic virtue are not strong enough
to shake the evil off, is surely de-
Ginning to it's fall. The stolid in
difference with which the average
citizen regards matters of this
kind would be incredible, if it wer,
not so common. And yet, whethel
we are ruled by good men or bad
whether the conduct of business il
honest or corrupt, whether thu
laws are executed or openly defed
q is certainly matter which con
/; Germs the honor of each and every
citizen. One cannot acquiesce il
dishonesty and misrule, without ;
loss Of honor. He who does no
resist evil consents to it, and be
comes particeps crinimis.
= 1t is certain that if the peopl,
are determined to rid themselve,
of the opium ring, they will sue
coed. It is difficult to over-esti
mate the power of a determined
uprising of the people. Snug
Cling in small way cannot b,

OYSTERS AT MOANALUA.

The Hon. S. M. Damon has been
trying an experiment at Moanalua
which may be the beginning of
valuable industry. A year and a
half ago he imported, through
Lewis & Co., about hundred
oysters from San Francisco, which
he planted on a couple of coral
slabs in a fish pond at Moanalua
Three months later it proved that
the oysters had attached them
selves firmly to the rock. Yester-
day one was dug out, and it was
found that three young oysters had
grown on it, while the oyster itself
had grown. This shows that oys-
tiers will live and propagate under
such conditions as are found at
Moanalua. Whether they will
really flourish and furnish the
material for a profitable industry
remains to be determined.

difficulty will be received here
with profound pleasure. Had
the matter ended otherwise it
is difficult to tell just what the
effect would have been upon
this Kingdom. 1t would have
been DISASTROUS 10 many of
the farmers, no doubt, be-
cause we might have found a
difficulty in getting a suf-
ficient supply of Aermotors
to meet the demands of the
cattle, rice and sugar planta-
ton men of the Kingdom.
They must have Aermotors.
Those we sold last year and
that are in use now are the
means of bringing us orders
for others. People who
bought them last summer are
talking them up to their
friends with the best possible
result to us.
During 1891 there were
2o,o4o Aermotors sold in the
United States. During the
current year it is expected
that three times that number
will be added to those sold in
previous years. Just fancy !!
10000 new wheels erected for
the purpose of making life
easier for the man who has
stock or lands. 10000 people
who have been convinced that
there is only one mill in
existence and that the Aer-
motor. How many will be
convinced here that there is
no other mill suitable for use
on these Islands.
The letter of Mr.. c. l..
Wight published two weeks
ago is worth reprinting; if you
read it before you will read it
again and be just as much in
terested as you were the first
time.

THE TRAMWAYS AGAIN.
A Proposition to Send Mr.. Pain
and the Water Cart to the
Worlds Fair,


Worlds Fair.
The car which leaves the corner
of King and Fort streets for Wal
kiki at few minutes past 5 P. NJ,
is one of the most heavily loaded
cars of the day, and as it is not al
ways convenient for working men
to catch a tram leaving so soon
after 5 o'clock, the Tramways Com
pany have another car leaving
seven or eight minutes after, which
is supposed to overtake the first at
the turn of the Waikiki road.
Usually this happens, but last even
ing the second car was perhaps a
minute or so later than usual. At
all events the "lightning express"
came up just as our friend PAINS
Waikiki carry-all was leaving.
The driver, although signalled by
the conductor, and himself turning
around and seeing that there were
passengers wishing to ride on to
Waikiki, whipped up his fiery and
untamed steeds and would not
wait. The conductor said that this
was often the case, and that he has
had several rows with the driver,
but that he paid no attention to
signals and ran the car to suit him
self, not the public nor the Tram
ways Company. The watering cart,
this driver and Mr.. Pain should
apply for space in the museum de-
partment of the Worlds Fair.

The GOOspOrt school.

Through the untiriDg energy Of the

seriptions, lumber and brick donated,
ETC., and is now in course of erection,

yet to be raised TO complete the work.
but as the citizens there have the as
sUTance Of aid from the school board,
there can be no doubt that the building
will be ready for occupancy by the time
for opening the schools for the coming
term. The Wide-awake citizens Of Coos
port do not recognize the word "fail-
ure," and If it is necessary they will pnt
their shoulder to the wheel, as they
have already done, and push the enter
prise to q finish.
There are from forty TO fifty chill
dren Of school age in the neighborhood
who canUot well attend our town pub.
lie school on account of the great dis
lance, danger, and other incOnVeninees,
and they think it much better to have
school of their own.
The enterprise of such publie-spirited
citizens is to be commended, and we
hope will be initiated by other districts
in need Of schools, and we think it the
duty Of our school board to assist all
such undertakings as far as practicable
and feel safe in saying that they will
do so.

sad Occurrence.

Last Snnday Sam Soloman, young
man about 10 years Of age, was killed
By lightning. he and two other young
men were boat riding on the river near
the Poe shiDgle mill, when Sam was
struck. The three were standing up 10
the boat, Sam standing in the middle,
and being the tallest Of the three II il
supposed was the cause Of bis receiving
the stroke. One Of the other young
men was knocked out Of the boat, but
the third was not much affected By the
shock and when the one in the water
rose, he caught him aud pulled him on
board. A singular coincidence was
the fact that young solomon's watch
was knocked out of bis pocket and was
found ID the bow Of the boat. A email
black spot was found in the case which
looked just like fire bad been applied
to Il.
Death under any circumstances is sad
enough, but 10 see one stricken dorm at
the yery portals Of manhood seems still
more SAD. Sam was . remarkably exem-
plary young man, ateady and attentive
