Changes in Contemplation to At

Show With the Long Name.
Professor Bristol aud his active
staff have been closely studying the
public taste during the week, aud
have como to the conclusion that
while all who have seen the beauti.
ful animals pass through their won
derful exercise, and always go again,
there was lacking something to re-
lieve the monotomy.
The first change in this regard is
to employ the Hawaiian Quintet
Club who will make their first APP
pearance this evening and again on
Monday. After that date there will
be other important attractions add
ed and probably the price Of adj
mission will be reduced all down the
scale. The show will not degenerate
into fashy circus as that is con
trary to Mr. Bristol's principles,
whose pride in his animals is justfi
ably immense.
All should take their little ones to
the matinee this afternoon and give
them a ride on the ponies.

Ed. The INDErENDENT:--
Your paper of March 4th corres-
pondence sigued "Kupa Hawaii"
states: "There is al Kamalo Money
Order Office established for the ex-
press benefit OF "Unbeliever' after
he went to Molokai to reside owing
to the fuss he made about Kalae

You will allow that il the people
of Honolulu had to transact their
postal affairs at Waialua aud that
was the only Post Office on Oahu
some one would object. This was
just the state OF affairs on Molobai
in 1890. Look at the map OF Molo-
kai between Ksmalo and Halawa
Gve-eigths OF the people reside, ex-
cepting on two days week no
postal business was transacted at
Kaunakakai~it is the same to-day.

When the Post Office was estab-
lished at Kamalo it benefited all

Mr. Editor, make inquiries at the

In conclusion, Mr.. Editor, the rea-

at least three instances to my knowl-
edge, by some planters who threat

they took the lands, and why7 To
keep the monopoly Of the SOIL This
was not sufficient, monopoly of
trade was desired as we'll, and plant
alton stores were opened iu many
places to compete against the inde-
pendent ones, and so drive the white
business men out of the country.
No, live and let live, has not been
the sugar mems motto. and hardly
will be ia the future we fear.
No y, suppose white men from the
States are willing to come here to
work in the sugar fields, what in
ducement is there for them to stay?
To get rich? At the present price
OF the sugar the outlook is not very
bright To be common laborers2
Will they be satisfied to live as our
workers do7 l dare to say: Mol
AS the common standard of Amer
lean life is great deal higher than
the best the planters pretend to be
able to give.
But, suppose that the American
farmers arr willing to come here,
are they able to work hard for any
length of time in our tropical plains7
say, No! 1t is an axiom, that after
few years residence white mer-
chant, planter, clerk needs a
change Of climate, Do you think an
American farmer will not feel the
same need3 Some say, No, as the
weather in tbe States is hotter
during the summer months than
here. True enough, but they forget
that the American has a winter, we
have not, to recuperate.
Some coffee planters say, that they
know by experience, that white
man can work bard in this climate.
At three or four thousand feet above
the sea level admitted, but to strip
case on our low lands is quito a
different thing Men from the
Southern States might stand it, but
no other ones.
Moreover, have our sugar men not
got the best opportunity to build up
the country with white men7 We
remember the time when the plant
ations had number OF overseers, car
penters, blacksmiths, harnessmakers,
teamsters, etc, all OF the Anglo
Saxon race in their employment.
What has become OF them? What
has been done to keep, or rather
drive them out OF the country7 No,
white men won't come to work in
the fields, and il by misrepresenta
tion they do, the poor deluded peo-
pie will either leave the plantation
to work somewhere else, or as soon
as their means permit, shake the

arcby would not have been over
thrown, for the sworn testimony Of
Messrs, Damon, Waterhouse, and

the proposed revolution hinged
upon the landing OF the United

testimony proves, that he would not
take command of the forces OF the

had assurances from United States
