YESTERDAYS BLASTING.
A Grand Success.
But Blast the Damage. .


The Superintendent of Public
Works, was the cause yesterday
afternoon of a scene. soInewhst
similar to that seen after an
earthquake.
As the taxpayers are aware
of, work has been going on for the
past few weeks on the coral bed
near to Brewers wharf prepar-
ing for blast to demolish it.
The drilling was completed
yesterday, and eight holes were
ready to receive the charges of
powder which were to do the
demolishing Shortly after four
o'clock, all was ready for the
charge of electricity The super
intendent placed the blasting
battery in position, connected
the wires running from the
charges of powder in the holes,
to the battery. then all was
ready.
What suspense What is going
to- happenl The superintendent
then turned the handle" and
ran away = the machine did
the rest. and did it thorough
! ly, too. Some of the bystanders
assert that the superintendent
had the appearance of very
scared man at about that time.
Well, yes. the coral bed is sup
posed to have been blown to
| pieces, probably it has. but the
wharf was considerably damag-
ed. Several of the wharf piles
and outside planking are knocked
out of place, the earth has caved
in and sunk about two and half
feet in some places, while the
ground is cracked in places at
fifty feet distant. 1t may be said
that at least half of the wharf is
injured.
That is the result of the explo-
sion of six of the charges. what
would have happened if the
whole eight had exploded is pro-
badly only known to the great
aud only Incompetent we
nearly said "Omnipotent' but
We presume that he also knows
something of what it might have
been.
The Advertiser says, "Rowell
ran off as soon as be had turned
the handle, for he anticipated
what was coming" If Rowell
expected heavy explosion. why
did he not warn the spectators. As
it was. q native sitting On some
bags of grain under the shed on
this wharf was thrown to the
ground distance of about five
feet. but fortunately escaped
without injury; he might have
been killed. and so might have
several others. all through the
csrelessness of an incompetent
official. The non-explosion Of
two of the charges is no doubt
tho only thing tina, saved terri
bic catastrophe.
| Now the taxpayers will have
the pleasure OF seeing some Of
their money paid ont for the ex-
penses of repairing a wharf,
which need not have been dam
aged.

The Fire Department is very
active in drilling every morning

of efficiency. Chief Hunt is to

The Investor and His Rights,

pudent audacity, has been trying
to make political bugbear out of
certain statistical fgures-on the
nationality of capital invested here
IN corporation enterprises-com-
piled for partisan purposes by the
missionary descendant Thomas
q. Thrum. Starry Smith calls
his crazy lucubrations on the
matter, the Investor and his
rights and he starts by assert
ing that the said statistics of cor
porations, show s'the extent to
which native and half-cast Hawa-
iiaps are partners IN the OWN
ERSHIP of their Country
The moral OF Smith postulate
is evidently that the investor of
capital has an inherent right to
own the country in which he
deigns to invest, in other words,
that an investor of money in a
concern or speculation thereby.
owns, not only that concern, but
also the Universe in which the
concern happens to be located.
Thus, supposing Smith to have
invested money-which God for
bidl--in the Star Newspaper Co. +,
this would entitle him to own the
house in which the concern is
established, and Herewith all of
Honolulu This is indeed new
international code of law in
augurated by Smith, whereby,
In virtue of all the millions of
capital invested b. Englishmen
in America, that country ought
to be otcned by its English in
vestors. What would Uncle Sam
say to that! But, as such is not
yet the case. it is not probable
that. on account of a certain
amount of foreign capital being
invested here, Smiths theory
will give the said investors any
special, preferential right to o,oa
this country, even In spite of the
fact CD that business is now
ruling in nearly all countries
where the mass of the population
cannot govern ITSELF which is
another fallacious theory Of
Smiths unbalanced Uranium.
The only plausible excuse for
Smiths theory to become law,
might be if the said Investors of
corporations whom be so boldly
calls to the ownership of this
country'-did also, through the
same said capital invested here,
possess in fee simple the
majority of our lands. But Smith
would be very much embarrassed
to tell in what proportion our
lands are really o,cned-not simp-
ly occupied or cultivated-by the
investors of what he claims -on
Thrum's debatable assertion
81, 700 .669 dollars of American
capital representing sugar cor
porations and other mercantile
concernsl This is point very
prudently ignored by friend
Thrum, bat which we challenge
him and the Star to dare pub.
lish.
Thus, whatever rights Invest
ors may haye-and we are the
first to recognize them and wish
to see them duly protected we
fail to see how the figures pub
lished by the Star can in any
way show" that the ownership
of corporation capital entities the
capitalists and investors to the
ownership of the whole country.
