The Hawaiian.

The new magazine published
and edited by Julian ID. Hayns
made its appearance yesterday.
The magazine is very neatly
dressed. The cover is ornament
ed with a picture Of Kameha-
msha's statue and there are sever
al good illustrations of Hawaiian
scenery and pretty portrait of
Princess Kaiulani. The text ia
lively written and several portions
are rather amusing. II is evident
that the author suffers from mis-
sionaryphobia, and he slashes
right and left. The president i.
cabinet and several prominent
people are handled without gloves
in the style of the American
politico-humorous papers. The
magazine is monthly and can
be obtained at the news-stores.
Price 25 cents copy.

The Pump Going.

Another start of the pumping
plant was made yesterday. Mr..
Hedeman, superintendent of the
Honolulu Iron Works, contract
'ors for the plant, is directing the
operations. William Boyd, who
was engineer at the Makiki
pump, is running the engine.
When our reporter visited the
works last night, the pressure got
down as low as 45 pounds to the
square inch. This was due to
the vents given in the water mains
to prevent bursting. The engine
is double, the exhaust steam from
high pressure cylinder operat-
ing the piston rod in low pres
sure cylinder. This gives much
economy of power. The pump
when going supplies the mains
from James Campbell's at Dia-
mond Head to the other end OF
the system eat Palama. 1t is a
fine piece Of machinery, being
quite up to date in steam power
improvements. There is an au-
tomato indicator of pressure
that records it on paper with a
tiny pencil, the lines thus made
being scaled with an ingenious
little instrument to obtain the de.
sired result. There is similar
attachment, for ascertaining the
horse power developed, to the
engine of the Eva sugar mill
The process is called taking of
the cards"

The China.

The p. M. s. s. China arrived
early Monday morning from
Yokohama. She carried very
heavy passenger list, having "a
cabin passengers in transit and
seven for Honolulu, besides 226
Chinese and rs japanese for this
port, and a considerable number
for San Francisco. She also
carried large cargo, of which
556 tons was consigned to Nor
chants in Honolulu. She left
Honolulu at eight o'clock last
night and took 26 passengers
from hence.

Observations.

News came through private
sources by the steamer China,
stating that the treaty of peace
was signed by the Emperor
of China on May Sth. At the
same time the question of
Japan's acquisition of territory
in Manchuria is, by agreement
of Japan, China and Russia,
left to q conference of those
powers joined by France and
Germany. The result of such
a conference would probably
be a setback to Japan in the
matter mentioned, If Japan
then did not accept the de-
cision, the European powers
would have to put their heads
together to decide what next
if, indeed, Russia would not
take extreme measures on hel
own account. In the latter
case, Russia would have the
great advantage of time fol
preparation.

The Fire Department..

Shortly after the formation OF
the Provisional Government a
step was taken which had long
been in contemplation and con
sideration-ths change of the
volunteer Fire Department into a
paid fire corps. If was not done
on account of any lack of efficien-
cy in the protection from the
ravages of fire by the volunteer
boys. Everyone recognized and
felt grateful for the good work
done by them. But rs a measure
OF economy and to put a stop to
the political squabbles which had
crept into the local administra-
tion, the measure was adopted
and everyone felt that a great
step forward have been taken
that now efficiency and economy
were to be the sole we tchwords.
The new organization was at first
composed OF the more able mem
bers of the late volunteer corps
and was placed under the control
OF a Board of Commissioners

Board is composed of Messrs.

Timely Copies
Nqp 20, 1896.

Legislature will meet on the
18th of June. The most i'm
portant question which will be
treated by the august body OF
super wise men is the new
land law. 1t is the intention
of the government to open up
to settlers the vast lands now
owned by the government and
it is proposed to dispose OF
them on the very easiest and
best terms. The lands which
especially will be offered are OF
different natures and suitable
for different purposes. Grazing
and coffee lands, sugar and
fruit lands and lots suitable for
the small farmer or for resi-
dence only will be placed in
market. If the government
succeeds in establishing a land
boom under the suggested
term, it will be entitled to
great credit and a great step
will have been taken in the
line of solving the present
question of hard times" now
staring the whole community
in the face.
But whether the lands to be
offered are to be used for the
cultivation of coffee or the
promotion of guava jelly, one
fact remains; it is necessary for
the prospective settler to pur-
chase an Aermotor and secure
sufficient water for his
premises.
We offer the very best and
most improved style of Aer-
motors. The numerous patrons
who have tried our Aermotors
speak in the highest terms OF
the results We have recently
placed an Aermotor of the
latest pattern at Lunalilo Home,
and w. O. Smith, who gave
us the order. has only praises
for it.
! Since we are talking land >
| we may as well lremind eventua
settlers, that we sell the Jones
| Lock Wire Fence. This fence
is used on all ranches of any
importance, and we receive
daily orders for more of them
The washers used in the fences
which we now offer to oul
patrons are galvanized. Form
erly they were made of iron ane

turbable to all climatic in

Sunday Laws.

When the Legislature meets
next month, an endeavor should i.
be made to regulate our Sun
day laws and give them at
least the appearance of con- /
sistency and fairness. A law
that is not or cannot be en-
forced has no business to be
kept on the statute books.
When it is, ridicule and con-
tempt are the results. Far be
it from US to advocate q "free"
Sunday. Nor do we believe
in the present very puritanical
laws. We think that in a ques-
ton like this moderate course
should be followed and, as far
as possible, the wants and ideas
of all classes be considered.
But before everything the
laws and regulations should be
so that they can be enforced
with ease and meet the ap-
proval of the greatest number
of people.
Last Sunday, the work on
the new aermotor now being
placed at the Lunalilo Home
was stopped. 1t was undoubt-
edly a work of absolute neces-
sity, because the Home is
without water, but the author
tiles couldn't allow it. At the
same time gangs of working
men were busy in the streets
repairing water pipes which
had burst during the night.
No interference was made.
Electriclightswer beingplaced
at the Hawaiian Hotel during
Sunday, but the authorities
saw no violation of the law
there. E
Division 5 of the Citizens
Guard was offered a shooting
range at Kalihi on the Bishop
lands. The trustees refused to
make the grant, because the
men practise on Sundays. AT
thesame time the sharp-shooters
are blazing away every Sun
day at Makiki, Kakaako and
Waikiki, andnobody complains.
The sale of iced drinks (soda),
ice cream, cigars and fruits is
strictly tabooed on Sundays,
and a thirsty stranger might
die from thirst rather than the
Sunday should be desecratsd
by allowing the heathen
Chinese to open his shop and
peddle out his oranges. Yet
the largest ice cream saloon in
town, kept by European,
is allowed to remain open and
sell everything in its stock,
including beverages on draught
and cigars. although a tobacco
mist stand directly across the
street, kept by another white
man, was peremptorily closed
a few months ago. And hacks
and carriages are flying every
Sunday to Waikiki, and there
the iced drinks are easily
obtained. The band mustn't
play on Sundays, but church
bells and the salvation army
are allowed to make the day
as noisy as they please.

What Several Citizens Say Concerning

Rev. DIR. A. h. Dickinson, editor of

Judge IT, Ashby Wickham. of the Coun-

declined 10 criticise or comment upon
the views expressed by the Governor, but
said that ne considered that speedler

should be- enforced 10 prevent end punish
