satisfaction would have interven-
ed. That this has not been the
case must be set down in part to
the wisdom of those in authority,
but in part also to the patience
and good sense of the community,
which has recognized the necessity
of reposing in the government a
larger measure of confidence, and
of delegating to it a wider auth
ority than are ordinarily required
Mistakes have been made, and
there has been plenty of criticism,
some of it we'll founded and some
of it not. But in general it may
be said that there has been a
hearty cooperation between the
government and its supporters
which has made much for present

Rain Stories.

Mr.. EDITOR: | have read with
interest Mr.. c. J. Lyons letter in
your issue of to-day. Combining
oneself to the TOWN of Honolulu, I
would ask him to kindly furnish
us with little further information.
Is not the rainfall for the present
month the largest registered for
any February since reliable records
have been taken?
Secondly, with the exception of
November, 1874, whether this is
not the wettest month EVER KNOWN
IN HONOLULU SINCE THE PUBLICA-
TIoN OF METEOROLOGICAL REPORTS?
Whilst on the subject would Mr..
Lyons also tell US whether the rain
fall of 274.67 at the Volcano House
for the year 1890 is the largest
known in the Islands? This would
give an average of % inches q
month, or three-quarters of an inch
daily for 365 days! I am aware
that this was an exceptional year,
and that the Volcano House is
usually content with an average of
a little under half an inch per diem.

the old superstitions still have in

ideas and practices are by no
means confined to non-Christians,
but they are more or less preva-

facts on this subject, all based

A Kick From KOna.

Mr.. EDITOR: With such able
men at the head of the new Pro-
visional Government, it was hoped
that only competent and reliable
men would be appointed to office,
and that the days of appointing
dummies and fgure-heads to ad-
minister public justice was at an
end; but the commissioning of
Henry Hail, as District Judge for
South Kona, has filled everyone in
the district with surprise and dis
gust. How this mans name ever
reached the Executive is a mystery,
and it would seem those who made
the appointment must have been
misinformed or were entirely ignor-
ant of his qualifications.
He is a man of very little educa-
ton, who has neither position or
property, not even a house of his
own, and is entirely ignorant of law
and Court proceedings, and only
known here as an orange peddler
about the wharves.
1t would seem that the public
had right to demand that capable
and reliable men should be APP.
pointed to judicial offices, and not
J men who have no knowledge Of
their own and will be obliged tc
hire others to do their work, and
thus leave the public at the mercy
of smart and designing rascals
More especially as these judges
have the acquittal or committa
in all criminal cases, thus putting
property-owners in a very unsaf
position.
The appointment of such maj
as judge is a burlesque and dis
grace to the office and an insult t
the residents of South Kona, whel
we have able and good men to fiji
the position.
Hoping we are not going back t
the days when public offices wer
given as rewards, without regard
character or qualification.
Yours truly,

When, however, the emergencies
of the first days have passed away
when the reins of power have
been gathered into a firm hand,
the wheels of government well
creased, the ordinary course of law
restored, and the routine of bust
ness resumed; when the passion of
the first conflict has subsidized, and
feeling has returned to its ordinary
modes of expression, "a different
rule should prevail. The commu-
nifty should, as far as possible, be
taken into the confidence of the
Government, and the counsels of
the latter should in general be
made public.
We are happy to announce that
this is the view of the matter taken
by the gentlemen of the Provisional
Government. Yesterday afternoon
the Council voted that representa-.
tives of the Press should be ad.
mitted to its general sessions. This

OPEN DOORS.

The Provisional Government de-
rived its authority from a success
full popular uprising. A government
instituted under such circum-
stances was never yet conducted in
its beginnings according to the form
ule which rule in ordinary cases.
Such a government must be COM
pact, capable of speedy and deci-
sive action, and secret. 1t must
not be tangled up in red tape,
and the touch of button must set
its machinery in motion. The
rules in short which govern the
exercise of military and naval
authority, and not those of ordi-
nary civil procedure, furnish the an
alogy which it should follow. Battle
ships and armies could never face
the enemy successfully if they
were run by newspapers, legisla-
lures and public opinion. A pro-
visional government, which has
just emerged from the stormy
waves of revolution, has the same
difficulties before it, and they must
be met by the same methods. It
cannot wait to consult the varying
tastes and fancies of the inhabit-
ants of remote and inaccessible
country districts, before it sets its
course. 1t cannot take the gossips
of the street corner into its conf
dence.

We believe it will be generally
admitted that the members of
the Provisional Government have
exercised their powers with an adj
mirable moderation. These powers
have been exceedingly wide, al
most unlimited in their scope, and
afforded both the opportunity and
the temptation to abuse. Had
they been less discreetly used the
result might have been disastrous
certainly a general feeling of dis.

. QUESTION
OF HEALTH

By last steamer our
stock of DR.. Jaeger's I'm
derwear for men has been
replenished.
We are now prepared to
fit any one be he a dude
OF heavyweight.
You've been suffering
long enough from that
horrid cold; you've spent
a small fortune for
patent medicines and
doctors advice for that
chronic rheumatism. Let
us prescribe for you,
we know what ails
you. You're wearing un-
derwear of dead vegetable
fiber, no wonder you're
sick.
Let us advise you to
make a change. You
should wear under gar
ments of pure animal wool.
Nature so intended it, but
you've been running con-
trary to nature until at
last, she has broken down.
Do you wonder at it, Let
US tell you something:
Animal wool is the mate
rial devised by nature for
animal covering and pos
sesses, as the simplest
experiments will prove the
valuable quality of not
attracting or retaining the
noxious mal-odorous mat
tiers, which the animal
body exhales. Moreover
being a slow conductor of
heat animal wool does not
chill even when damp.
Some friend will perhaps
tell you that WOODEN under
clothing is too hot for this
climate. Don't be misled.
That all-wool clothing
protects the body from
chill is Ineligible to every
one, but it is a common
error to suppose that such
clothing is hotin summer.
Heat is felt to be oppressive
when the natural action
of the pores is hampered
and the exhalation cannot
escape.
IF the covering is imper-
vious there is a strong
desire to throw everything
off from the stifed skin;
but the wearer of porous
wooden covering through
which the skin can breathe
is no more oppressed by it
than is a cricketer by his
fannels, which every
athlete knows to be the
coolest, safest, most com

 It is quite possible that the Japan csc teacher of dancing and department who, a few weeks ago, celebrated the one thousandth anniversary of the es- tablishment of his business by a re- mote ancestor, may have done so upon authentic grounds. Still, Japanese do- mestic chronology is apt to become a little foggy when you get back a few hundred years.
 Possibly more authentic are the two cases1which follow. The first is that of the family of Aaron, who practiced the duties of the priesthood continu- ously from B. c. 1920 to B. c. 58S, or for 732 years,
 The second is that of the family of Purkiss, whose ancestor found the body of William Rufus in the New Forest in the year HOO, and who car ried on the occupation of charcoal burning generation after generation, until the last of the family died, in 1S46.
 This makes seven hundred and forty six years-that is to say, the Purkiss family burnt charcoal for fourteen years longer than the descendants o1 Aaron performed the duties of the Jewish priesthood, not counting the time it had done so before the death of Rufus.
