SATURDAY, NOV. 81, 1897.

Fifty four years ago today the
recognition of Ha waiian independ-
ence by Great Britain and France
was proclaimed. Both Of those
Powers had worried the little ma
ton considerably by interfering
with its autonomy, and in fact on
different occasions trampling up
on its independence, so that the
day may fly be celebrated as
commemora'ing really great
event in the history of the Ha-
waiian Islands. If the country's
own rulers had not at lat r periods
trsmplei upon the independence of
the people, the present day might
have a vista of Independence be-
fore it, far down into the future,
to b. comtem plat ID with Joy by
all its inhabitants. 1t has hap.
pened otherwise, however, but the
prospect is still not one dismiss
sing of joy. The ills of the iu-
termediate part, since this day III
1843, are rather to be regarded
now as disguised good. They
have forced Hawaii into the posi-
tion-which should promote Joy
Gus feelings this day-of. eager
expectation to have its indepen
dence merged in the grandest and
most dearly bought and maintain
ed national autonomy in popular
self government of all the ages.

An Episcopal clergyman of Grand

the Llks. says member of that order,
attended u meeting the other evening
The chairman, noticing his presence,
said: Il see our Rev. Brother -
among us this evening. As this is such
an unusual occurrence, think he will
have to be assessed S.. The rector put
his hand into his waistcoat pocket, and
marching up to the desk, put down his
little V and made nice little speech in
which he told how glad he was to be
with his brother Elks and ended by in.
viting them to come and hear him
preach the next Sunday evening. Some
one moved that the Ellks accept the i'll.
vitation and go in body to their broth
ers church, which was unanimously
carried. The next Sunday evening the
front pews Of the church were filled
with EllSs, and when the Rev. Mr. -
assembled his pulpit he said, Il am de-
lighted to see so many of my brother
Elks here this evening, but rs it is such
an unusual occurrence with the most
of them think they should each be as
sessed 81. Let your light so shine, etc
The way the silver dollars ratified on
that plate was a caution. The contri-
button was much heavier than usual, and
the Elks voted their reverend BROTHER

1t is scarcely a discredit to Ho-
nolulu that horse cars are its bel
mode of cheap transit, for whe n
the concern was chartered electric
cars were only in an experimental
stage. The town has, however,
expanded lis borders very much
since then, and the hour has
surely struck for procuring some
thing better than horseHesh. Prob
ably the delay in getting the de
sired improvement will not be an
unmixed evil, for there are seri
GUS objections to the overhead
trolley wires = which form tn
most prevailing medium of cleo
trio traction. 1t is urged, indeed,
in influential political circles
that, for any electric tramwsy in
Honolulu, the conductors must
be laid under ground. But, SO
far as can be learned, a
system of this kind involves
an expense that would most
likely prevent investment in
it for a town of this size. Storage
batteries with stations for re
plenishing the potent supply are
reported as having proved success
full elsewhere, and ought then to
suit Honolulu whose traffic re
quires only light cars, but plenty

A fishing boats crew Of OLD,
which complained of barren luck
after toiling all night, we're told to
push out into deeper water and let
down their nets. They oh yed with
the result that their boat began to
sink with the load of fish caught.
One of the prettiest sights from
the upper str, cts of Honolulu at
night is that OF the score or more
of fishing boats with Aariug
torches operating off the reef. Yet
the supply of fish in the market is
so limited as to make it quite Il
dear food. Many times deep sen
fishing enterprises have been start
ed here, bat for some reason or
other they have not scored success
Revelations of the United States
Fish Commission have shown, how
ever, that the deep waters sur
rounding these islands teen wi b
valuable food fishes. Doubtless
in time the Japanese will push
boats farther out into the ocsan
and put the enterprise of both
Hawaiian and European kama
ainas to the blush by establishing
the fisheries as a leading indus
try, for supplying both home co
sumption and lucrative foreig
demand. There are surely var'e
ties of fish in the Pacific suitable
for treating with preservat've
methods to share 10 furnishin.

of them for hours and occasions
when large numbers travel at
once. At some hours of the day
here, cars of great bur'en would
be losing expense. Between the
opening and closing hours for in
dustry aud commerce the traffic
here is exceptionally light, saving
the afternoon shopping time of
the ladies'. Instances of this con-
dition can be readily cited, such as
one only yesterday, when, at nine
o'clock, lady boarded a car at
Queen Emma hall and was the
only passenger through the rest
of Nuuauu street, Queen, Fort
and Beretania str .ets to Thomas
square. Time will come, OF
course, when, with the expansion
of the business quarter on both
the Nuuanu and King street
parallels, frequent cars will have
a good traffic at all hours OF the
day. They would have more even
today if they ran oftaner in
the business district. Besides
the extensive trials of stored
electricity, much attention is be
ing devoyed to compressed air. As
readers Of this paper will have
learned by testimony from
abroad, an advantage OF com
pressed air is that it may be ap-
piled to the lightweight horsecar
plants where such are already es.
tsblished. Thus would be avoid
ed the tearing up Of streets for
laying heavier rails which is in
volved in changing from horse to
electric motor transit. For the
Establishment of new lines, also,
the adoption Of compressed air
would, ON account of it's greater
cheapness of installation, be more
promising to investors and make
practicable the extension of car
service to wider suburban area
than would be the case with a
costly electric system of either
underground or overhead conduc
