ACCIDENTS.

The accident of yesterday was the
third fatal one, of nearly the same char
acter which has occurred within a com
paratively short time. And as usual
after investigation it has been found
that nobody is to blame. 1t is difficult
no doubt the place the blame, but thai
there is some, somewhere is very GER
tain. Machinery in ordinary running
does not kick like mule for no definite
reason. If it is properly handled there
is no danger. The danger comes when
1t is not properly handled.
The man who was killed, some weeks
ago, at Palama was a Japanese. 1t is
very doubtful if he ever had explained
to him the danger he might run, by be-
ing careless with the machinery. That
lack of knowledge cost him his life. The
Hawaiian who was killed yesterday was
a green" hand. He had only been in
the employ few days. Had he been
warned of his danger, or was he sim
ply allowed to be around the machinery
and take his chance of finding out for
himself what was dangerous or not? If
he was not properly warned undoubt-
eddy some one is to blame for not in
forming him.
Few people realize their responsible
ties in such cases. In many places the
law is strict and holds people to ac-
count for accidents which occur. Organ
ization of labor looks after their men
in matters of this kind. Here there is
very little power to hold people ac-
countable. 1t is only lately that inquiry
is made into such deaths at all. 1t was
quite customary to say "Oh, well, any
body can see that the man is dead.
Bury him. The quicker the better"
We do now have a coroner's inquest
held, but it is very doubtful if the mem
bers of the jury fully understand how
great their powers for inquiry are, and
how they can censure the careless by
putting a rider upon their verdict In
many a case people may not be Grimm
ally responsible, but they may be cen
surable for carelessness.

We shall have to wait patiently till
the end of the week before we get any
thoroughly definite account of the lava
flow on Hawaii. There is evidently &C
tivity and the flow is running freely on
the eastern or northeastern slope of
Mauna Loa. There is no reason TO
think it will do any damage. The re-
port about the Humuula sheep pastures
may or may not be true. The most alb
surd rumors fly round the Island at
such a time as this and the only sure
guide is the account of some trained oh.
server who is not likely to lose his head

The exodus eastward in years gone by
used to take place in March and April.
People in those days never dreamt of
taking a run up to the Coast for a few
weeks. 1t was a regular business of
packing up and making a long journey
which should occupy at least until the
fall. Now people run over any time,
even for only a few days, if business
calls. The main exodus, however, takes
place in the summer months. And in
lieu of April, June and July are the
months for heavy traffic. An immense
crowd went off on the Australia. There
are 1874 booked to go on the Moana.
This shows two things-first-tha the
tourist traffic between the Islands and
the mainland is considerable and Sec
ond-that our people, as a mass are be-
coming well to do, and able to indulge
themselves somewhat extensively in
foreign travel. This is good, for travel
has broadening effect.

The smoke which enveloped this Isl
and yesterday was poured forth days
ago. 1t is no indication of what is hap
pening at the present. 1t has simply
been drifted north by the light southern
airs, and has now been driven south by
the regular trade wind. 1t is striking
phenomenon enough, and makes people
here realize the immensely of volcanic
forces. Apparently this is purely vol
canic smoke, as none of the accounts
say that the flow has reached the woods
yet. 1t is merely meandering down the
Scoreaceous summit of the mountain
where there is nothing but dead lava
the bones of former fires.

WEDNESDAY, JULY 10, 1899.

It is a curious fact that though this
has been an Island community its sta
tute book is practically void of shipping
laws. Had the city of Columbia been
in port on the mainland, or in any part
of Europe she could not have gone to
sea without a thorough survey from
properly qualified government officials.
Here you might send crew to sea in
a paper boat and there would be no one
to say you nay. This will all be chang
ed when the United States laws are ex-
tended to the territory.
