A Growl ct Maui aud Honolulu
Items In Brief.

The following is taken from the Hilo
Tribune of the 18th instant:
The reports from Maui are no way
pleasing; albeit they are such as we are
not surprised to hear, even as we shall
not be surprised to hear similar re-
ports from the various districts of this
Island which have taken occasion to
show their independence of Hilo by in
creasing rather than diminishing their
traffic with Honolulu, and throwing
wider rather than closing tighter their
doors-to show their independence of
1ilo, for which there was no occasion,
since Hilo neither claims nor desires to
assume one iota of authority or control
over their actions.
The people of Maui indeed took occa-
sion to send weekly letters to the Ad-
vertiser, reiterating their unquestion-
ing confidence in the Board of Health,
and thanking God they were not as the
people of Hilo, kickers, rebellious and
eager for self-government and a clean
port. We sympathize most fully with
the people of Maui, and we hope that
in the one brief but deadly attack at
Kahuiui the disease will cease to trou-
bic that Island. 1t is however a little

which the Mauiites so gratuitousIy I'M
dertook with Honolulu and with the
other districts of this Island to force
by weight of ridi. ule and encourage
ment to the Honolulu authorities the
admission here of passengers and
freight from Honolulu. Whether this,
which was to certain extent done in
spite of our resistance, was the cause
OF the fatal case that has occurred here
we do not know. It's cause now is i'm
| material. The prevention of future
cases and the destruction of life, prop
erty and business must be our aim.
Honolulu's Levity.
The proceedings of Hilo's unauthoriz-
ed boards Of health, sanitary commit
tees, or whatever else one may choose
to call them-under any name they are
equally malodorous to the Honolulu
nostril-the proceedings, we say, of
these bodies are reported in the various
| journals of the capital city with a full
| ness that is most fattering. They seem
also to furnish much amusement and
| harmless merriment to the editorial
Scr1bbler and presumably TO the reader.
1t is more blessed to give than to re-
| ceive, and we are but too glad to con-
tribute our mite to alleviate the gloom
| which hangs over our sister city. 1t
| shall be Hilo's. boast that along with
| secondhand dress suits, opera cloaks,
Japanese kimonos and hard cash, she
has also added to the gaiety of the east
| ly amused and childlike inhabitants OF
| Honolulu.
