editor has ably handled several
subjects of present interest in the
politics of Hawaii, and among
which is strong reply to an "open
letter" of Mr.. T. H. Davies, written
from England under date of Au-
gust, and in which the political at
titude of the Friend and its friends
had been impugned. A courteous
tribute is paid to the dedication of
the Damien monument, and various
other matters, including the usual
monthly record of events" make
the journal, as before said, both in
teresting and instructive.

LONG SEA PASSAGE.
The German Bark Phu4er Ar
rives from Bremen After
a Voyage of I54 Days.

The German iron bark J. c.
Pfluger, Capt. Wolters, was brought
into port by the tug Eleu yester-
day morning and was locked at
the P. NJ. S. S. Co.'s wharf, on the
Waikiki side of the German bark
Paul Isenberg. Capt. Wolters was
seen in his cabin yesterday morn
ing, but he was not in a condition
to be interviewed nor did he care
to talk much. The captain has
been laid up in his stateroom ever
since passing stormy Cape Horn
two months ago. The Phuger left
Bremen May 4th. Nothing event
full happened to either vessel or
crew until arrival off the meri-
dian of Cape Horn eighty-six days
out. Then for five weeks the ship
encountered a succession of heavy
gales. The decks were all the
time covered with a thin layer
of ice, making it rather difficult
for the. men to walk about the
decks. The storm tossed the YES
sci here and there on the ocean
wave. The vessel at first stood
the hammering fairly well, but as
the storm increased its -iolence,
the starboard iron stanchion for
over twenty feet gave way, and a
part of the iron bulwarks was
stove in and damaged but not to
a very great extent. The heavy
sea which did this fearful work
first struck the starboard side with
u thunderlike crash. The same
sea washed away a portion of the
forward house. The poop deck
over the cabin likewise received the
same sad experience, the sea wash
ing away a part of the ceiling over
the captains cabin. Aloft also
suffered extensive injury. The
three-quarter inch iron band
around the fore-topgallant mast
was broken in two, one half
falling on the deck below.
The halliards next went flying in
the air like pieces of thread, and
the fore topgallant-mast itself was
lowered on deck. At least five big
sails were blown away. But while
the vessel suffered so much above
and around deck, the hull itself is
not hurt in the least. After pass
ing those stormy days good weather
set in, which carried the vessel to
port.
The J. C. Pfuger brought a full |
cargo of general merchandise (15,-
507 pkgs.), consigned to H. Hack |
field & Co. Among the cargo are
1850 pieces steel rails, 2014 bbls. |
1882 fire bricks, 60 tons
coke, and $50 tons coal for H. |
Hackfeld q Co.

THE FENCE TAX.

The following from the Harrison
Times concerning our present fence law
will be of in terest to many of our read
ers:
What is the legislature going to do
about the fence or stock law? Shall
we continue to compel our farmers to
build costly fences around their farms
to fence out the loose stock Of all the
world, or shall. .every man be held re-
sponsible for the damage HE stock may
do, when he deliberately turns it loose
upon the community. Shall we con-
tinue forever to levy burdensome and
most unnecessary tax upon ourselves,
when by stroke Of the pen, as it were,
we can rid ourselves of it? Why are
our edito1s-those directors and mould
ers of public opinion-silent upon this
most important subject? They are all
full of impracticable schemes for un-
taxing the people to build turnpikes,
but here is an entirely practicable
scheme for untaxing the people of their
heaviest tax-astax, that instead of do
ing good, does infinite harm-and the
editors are as close-mouthed as clans
about it. Are they afraid of the ques-
ton, as 1t seems our legislators hereto
fore have been? They needn't be.
when understood, it is sure to be gen
orally approved. And the way to have
it generally understood is to generally
discuss it. Let us have either gener.
al law requiring every man to fence
his own stock, instead of fencing out
the stock of other people; or else To-
cal option law, allowing any commune
ty that desires it to adopt such a meas
ure. To the latter plan there can be
no objection whatever: Here is a fue
chance for some Representative to dis
tinguish himself and to do the people
Of the State very great service.

THERE is great deal Of gossip afoat
at present as to the probable extent to
which President-elect Cleveland will
manifest partisanship after his inauger
alton, and also regarding the general
attitude he will assume toward his
party. Democrats who are anxious
for a Wholesale change of men as well as
measures are fond of declaring that Mr..
Cleveland will be "a better partisan"
than be was eight years ago; while
others, possibly somewhat unfrienaly
to the Ppesdent-elect, assert emphat
ically that he will attempt to "dom-
mate" the party and dictate the pol
icies, and that ne will thereby Gre
ate factions and discord. It is rumor-
ed that Mr.. Cleveland will quitely
take somewhat active part in the
selection Of the new Senator from New
York, and this, it is felt, will cause
trouble, as he is known to be opposed
to Mr.. Murphy, Mr.. Hill's candi-
date. Developments after the reas-
sembling of Congress in few days
may throw some light on these and
similar matters.

A PECULIAR complication has arisen
in connection with the distribution Of
the Indemnity money paid by the Chilli
an government in settlement of dam
ages in the Baltimore riots in Valpa-
raiso. Though the $75 900 accepted by
the United States Government as such
settlement are in the treasury to the
credit of the Secretary of the Navy, the
claimants must grow gray before they
get their share of it. II is said that no
Federal official has authority to dis
burse the fund in way that would full
ly aud efectually protect the govern-
me Mt from the demands of such Of the
claimants as might be dissatisfied with
their allotment. The Navy department
is without precedent in the matter, and
therefore no guide. 1t is probable that
Congress will be asked to clothe the
Secretary OF the Navy with special
authority to distribute the fund.

WHEN the Treasury Department es
Inmates were submitted recently to
Congress there was the usual item of
So 900 for the chef of the warrant and
appropriation division of the depart
ment, and underneath, in Secretary
Fosters own handwriting, were these
words: "And while the office is held
by the present incumbent, 81 ,000 ad-
ditional." >" The official for whom this
additional money is ask has for years
been one of the most valued OF Treas.
ury officials, having at his finger ends
more information about the national
finances than most Secretaries Of the
office 1t is not often, however, that
government emplyee is recognized
in this direct way. The Senate does
it in the case of old Captain Bassett,
who for over sixty years has been, in
one form or another, an employee Of
that body, and for its superiatend-
ent Of the document room. Amzie
Smith, who has also become, through
long experience, repository Of legis-
lative information. When James. II
Marr. chief clerk of the Post-OtIice
Department some years ago, had
rounded out half century of service
in the department, his name WAS in
cerporatedin an appropriation bill with
an increased salary, which was paid
to him as long as he lived. This sum.
however, was largely a gratuity, as
ne became too aged and decrepit to be
Il much service to the Government.
.ts only by making the additional
,alsry PAYABLE to the present incu-
,ent" that any increase can now be
ecured. The Appropriations Commit
ee of Congress will no longer add
compensation to an office while that
,dice is held by man of peculiar worth
lniess he is individually named, for it
s a certain and natural result that
salary raised for one man is never
covered for another. For instance,
the salary Of the First Assistant Sec
retary of State is IS 500 year, while
that Of his colleagues, the other assist
ants, is only 81, 500. When Mr.. Blame
was about to enter the Department of
State as Its Secretary under President
Garfield, it was stated to the Commit
ee on Appropriations that he desired
to appoint as Assistant Secretary a
iuan who WAS particularly expert in GER
tain question that were to- come be-
fore the department. So the increase
was added to fit his special case; but,
though he went out of office in due
tine, the salary continues at the in
creased figure and is likely to stay
thele ioi soH1c .lile to cDA4e.
