Good Definition of Americaufsm.

1t seems to me to be, first Of all, Il
consciousness of unfettered individu-
atty coupled with determine ton to
make the most of self One great
force of the American character is its
naturalness, which proceeds from a
total lack of traditional or inherited
disposition to crook the knee to any
one. 1t never occurs to a good Amer
lean to be Obse quiOus. In vulgar or
ignorant personalities this point of
view has sometimes manifested itself,
and continues to manifest itself. in
swagger or insolence, but in the finer
form Of nature appears as simplicity
of an unassertive yet dignified type
Gracious pOliteness, without con
dcscension on the one hand, or fawn-
ing on the other, is noticeably a trait
of the best element of American So
ciety, both among men and women.-

The powerlessness of an ordinary
navy is apparent from recent expert
ments in explosives 1t is stated that
dynamite cartridges can be thrown in
such a way that no warship could hold
out against them. While this is I'M
doubtedly true, the question arises:
How can we get along without navy
Of some sort? 1t is not to be supposed
that having guns of such tremendous
poWe" will tend to demOraliZe naval
armament. 1t will, however, make
this portion of our defenses less useful
and effective than heretofore. 1t will
probably do away with the enormous
ly heavy and unwieldly ironclad and
favor the Introduction of faster and
lighter craft Ships Of war will carry
smaller guns and lighter equipment
generally, and depend more on quick
ness of movement and strategy than
on the great bulk and resistive power
of the ordinary monitor 1t is a great
pity that intelligent Christian lands
can not find some other way to settle
their differences than by such terrific
slaughter. N. Y. Ledger.

The League of Ratisbon

The League Of Ratisbon, in 1872,
was formed by the Catholic states and
princes Of Germany to oppose the grow
ing power of the reformation. The in
fuence of the reformers had become
widely extended, and their cause be-
ing embraced by a number of promi-
nent princes, led the Catholic party to
believe that the stability of the gov
eminent in Germany was in danger,
hence the formation of this league to
counterfeit the growth of the doctrines
of the refOrmers.

HAMA RE>IDENTs RESOLVE
To Follow Rules of Board of Health
and Accept Passengers.

To Follow Rules of Board of Health
and Accept Passengers.
At meeting of citizens held at
Hama, Maui, this Goth day of Septem-
Der, 1885, st which were present most
of the gentlemen named below, the
following resolutions were adopted:
First-That in accordance with the
request of the committee of the Board
of Health for she island of Maui, the
following gentlemen, viz: DR.. McGet-
tigan, l. x. Iosepa, <. 5. Gjerdrum,
w. V. Graevemeyer, o. UnDa, n.
Omsted, and lin the absence of W. P.
Haia) J. X Hanuna, be appointed to
act as subcommittee for the district
of Hama; and that, as far as practic-
able. they act under the Instructions
OF the said committee of the Board OF
Health for the island of Maui in mat
tiers which do not in their opinion
conflict with the instructions, explicit
or implied, issued by the central Board
of Health at Honolulu.
Second-Thst the passengers bound
for Hama, and recently taken by the
steamer Claudine and quarsntined at
Cocosnut Island, Hawaii, be permitted
to land st Hama provided that they
can prove that they have been away
from the city of Honolulu for the six
days Immediately preceding the day
on which they arrive at Hama; that
before leaving Honolulu they have
been properly disinfected according to
the regulations of the Honolulu Board
of Health, and that no case of cholera
has appeared among them since their
departure from Honolulu.
Third-That no person will be al
lowed to leave Hama by steamer for
any other port on the Islands than
Honolulu without first obtaining a
permit from the hama district sub
committee, signed by its president DR..
McGettigan, and certifying that the
said person has resided in the district
of Hama for ST least fourteen days i'm
mediately preceding the date of the
departure of the steamer and is free
from cholera.
Fourth-That passengers whose
place of residence is Hama, and freight
from Honolulu, may be landed at
Hama at any time provided that q
written permit from the Board Of
Health at Honolulu is shown.
Fifth-That the Hama district sub
committee have implicit confidence
in the knowledge, care and discretion
of the Honolulu Board OF Health and
are quite willing to abide by their de-
cision in all cases in which the pre-
vention of the spread OF disease acts
as a factor to public safety; that they
hereby tender {. EN- their thanks, and
consider that the gratitude Of the en-
tire population of the islands is due
to them for the thorough manner in
which they have eombated the present
epidemic.
Sixth-Thst a copy Of these reso-
lutions be sent to the Honolulu Board
of Health, to Wilder's Steamship Co.,
and 70 the committee Of the Board OF
Heath for the island Of Maui.

Il. c. OvESDEN, Chairman

TO their general regulations, we claim
the right, under the authority vested
in US by the Board, TO add to such
regulations any further precautionary
measures our local situation or require
ments may necessitate. On the sub
ject of quarantining passengers land
now making special reference to the
passengers on the steamer Claudine),
this matter was fully discussed
on the arrival of the steamer
here, and the committee found that
quarantining was out of the question.
Where to quarantine was the diff
Guilty. The race track at Kahului was
mentioned, but it is situated in low,
marshy place, and with the exception
OF few stables has nothing in the
way of accommodation. 1t is but q
few hundred yards from Kahu.ui,
through which the passengers would
have to be transported, and would not
only be effectual as a quarantine sta
ton, but from temperature and nox-
ious surroundings would probably be
the direct cause of fever among the
unfortunate passengers confined there.
Outside of the place referred TO we
have nothing available. We are not
as happily situated as our Hilo friends
with their lovely island in the bay,
forming as complete quarantine To-
cation as any on the islands. The
only quarantine possible here is q
quarantine on the vessel in the har-
Dor of Kahului, within short dis
lance of the shore. Such quarantine
in case of sickness on the vessel would
be direct menace TO the community.
The Board of Health of Honolulu
evidently do not understand our local
circumst inces. We have no city or
city limits. We have 8 population,
the msjority of whom live in scatter
ed habitations on the banks of our
streams and in the vicinity of our
water courses. We have but two doc
tors in the district of Waikiki, and
should the cholera once obtain q foot
hold the inevitable end under exist
ing conditions would be dire calam-
ity. We have not in any way threat
ened armed resistance to the carrying
out of the regulations of the Board of
Health, but have carefully considered
the local necessities and fail to see in
what way we can be considered ''un-
reasonable" There has been much
individual criticism of Maui in the
newspapers which the committee did
not think it necessary to notice, but
the publication of the official circular
now under reply makes it necessary,
in the opinion of the committee, TO
assure you that all action of this COM
mittee has only been taken after q
careful and conservative consideration
of the circumstances governing our
special conditions, and without
panic ''undue fear" or intention to
act in opposition TO the Board of
Health of Honolulu. So far the citi-
zens of Maui have fully endorsed our
action.
The Board of Health instructions of
September 10th allowed Us the use of
our discretion, and in addition made
the suggestion that the Claudine pas
seDgers be returned to Honolulu if we
were not ready for them. The decision
was left to the committee and we used
our best Judgment. Yours respect
fully,
SANL. 7. CHILLINGwoRTH,

BRIGHT YEAR FOR kSN!, SCHOOL,
More Applicants for Admission Than
Can be Accommodated.
Graduate of Harvard for Normal Work
This Year-Farm and Dairy De-
partments -Notes.

Notification was sent boys ex-
pecting to attend Kamehameha
school this year that opening day
would be today. They were re.
quested to return to Honolulu be-
fore that date or as near after as
possible. Owing, however, to the
recent outbreak of cholera, the
school will not open until further
notice. More applicants for admis-
sion to Kamehameha have been re-
ceived than there is room to accom-
modate.
Twenty-Five boys have been en-
ployed at the school throughout
the summer vacation.
Ralph Woodward, graduate of
Harvard, and a former student at
normal school in Minnesota, will
assume charge of the normal work
this year. He is expected to arrive
by the next Australia.
The prospects are that there will
be seven or eight students in the
normal class this year, made up of
graduates of Kamehameha.
A pattern-making course will be
instituted this year Benches for
the work have been constructed.
Two new machines have been
received at Kamehameha-one
band and the other a patent circu-
lar saw.
A farm department similar to
those Of agricultural colleges in
the States, will be started this
year. Mr.. Rugg, who has worked
in the University of California ex-
perimental gardens, will have
charge. Under this will come the
dairy department. A barn for the
accommodation of twelve COWS has
just been constructed. The object
is to teach the boys experimental
farming. The dairy will furnish
butter for the three schools of Ka-
mehameha, besides milk enough for
the girls to learn butter-making.
Experiments will be undertaken in
tie raising of pigs, chickens and
garden truck of all kinds.
Kamehameha will have a graded
course of labor, by means of which
students will be able to avail them
selves of the elements necessary to
their respective lines of work in
the future.
Last years graduates of Kane
hameha have been very successful
in the matter of obtaining posi-
tions. o. Crowell is principal of
the Hiles school in Kau, Hawaii.
During the summer he built an
addition to the schoolhouse in
which he is to teach. D. Kanewa-
nui is principal of school near
Lahaina. He also did some car
pentering work on his school
house. W. Makakoa will assist c.
E. King, principal of Waikane
school, this island. The salaries of
these young men is far in advance
of any given previously to gradu-
ates of Kamehameha. o. Crowell
passed fourth in examination for
teachers certificate among forty
others, most of whom were Euro
peans.
The material for next years
class is excellent.

The BIuefieIds Matter,

WASHINGTON, D. G. Jan. 3.-The pres
ident today sent to the senate 300 pages
of correspondence relative to the Blue
fields affair, accompanied by a letter
from Secretary Gresham, summarizing
important events that have taken place
there. The secretary says this govern
nent has steadily recognized the sover-
eighty of Nicaragua over the reserva-
tion and Great Britain has given assur-
ance that it does the same.1
A resolution heretofore introduced
by Mr.. Allen, Populist OF Nebraska,
relating to the occupation of rooms in
the basement of the senate wing of the
capitol for restaurant purposes, gave
rise to an interesting debate during
the morning hour of the session. But
no action was taken on the resolution.

The house OF Joseph Peterson at
Mesa was burglarized yesterday at a
profit to the burglars of something
more than $500 The plunder consisted
of two $40 gold pieces and valuable
diamond pin. Phoenix talent is sup
posed to have been engaged in the rob-
berry. Two suspicious characters were
followed to town last night. One is a
negro who is described as either having
scar over his left eye or an empty eye
socket, either OF which contingencies
in this case produces the same general
effect upon the casual observer at dis
tance. 1t happens also in this case that
the suspicious characters we're only OBJ
served before the robbery, when no
special interest was taken in their
movements. The other man is tall and
inclined to be stoop.shouldered.
A careful search was made for them
among the dives, but no persons answer
ing the description we're discovered.
