THE WAIKIKI SALOON.

The granting of license to keep a Sa-
loon on the Waikiki road, directly
upon the causeway at the terminus of
the tramcar line, was a most unfOrtu-
nate piece of carelessness on the part
of the Government. The building 1t
self does no credit to the place. 1t be-
longs to that style of architecture call
ed the ''shanty." Across the face of it
is an enormous sign presenting the
words, Enterprise beer This sign.
it is said, is easily read through glasses
of those standing on the decks of out
going and incoming steamers. The
causeway itself furnishes the only
grand view of the ocean on the Wal
kiki road. This view, combined with
that of Makee Island, with its stately
ironwood trees, presents the most pic
turesque effect in the city or its sub
urbs, excluding, of course. the noun
tain views. The land side of the cause
way should be acquired by the Govern
ment, so that seats could be perma-
nentIy placed so as to front the ocean.
Right in this scene of wonderful trop-
zeal beauty of ocean and land this sa-
loon shanty has been placed. which is
a Quick reminder of the saloons on
the outposts of civilization.
Let there be a saloon in that neigh
borhood, if it is needed, but let 1t be
placed at some distance from the road,

who, after a long journey by sea, at
last sighted land and gallows stand
ing on it, exclaimed. Thank God. L
am again in civilization, and he would
surely have made the same eXclama-
ton if he had seen saloon in place OF
it. But why place these evidences OF
mans crime and weakness in conSpic-
uous places? Why make a loafing
place of one of the prettiest spots in
the city?
In justice to the Government it may
perhaps be said that it granted the Ii
cense without having it's attention
called to the location of the saloon.
The license will expire before long
and it should not be renewed unless
another place is taken

resembled miniature mountain ranges, the

fierce winds To entirely clear the six feet

over 50 per ton before the storm, was re-

Price of Cabs.
Many amusing incidents occurred in the
endeavor OF men living a good ways from
their work to get to their places of busi-
ness by means of cabs or other vehicles.
Regular cabmen were practically out of the
question For going few blocks they
wanted So, and for distance of twenty

the snow from the sidewalks in front of
their HOUSES. There seemed to be a dread
of another fall of snow and there was no.

cause for the delay was the difficulty in
getting men TO clean the sidewalks Nearly

THIS was done, and the rebels replied with
a harmless fusillade. The Boston and the
