The Hawaii Herald has a kick
against Honolulu poAlics. The Herald
says: Honolulu seems to be hack
ing away at local po.Itics with the reg
ularity of clockwork. The press seems
to be divided on the subject of local
self-goyernment, ana the proba
are that the opponents Of the measure
VIII win out. With eyerything in their
own hands and al active council OF
state to authorize tie expenditure of
monies. body when has come into
existence without warrant of law, the
people Of Honolulu nave a species Of
self-government that outsiders would
be willing to travel miles to see. In
Honolulu the defects are constantly
before the heads OF the government
and button is touched. and presto the
scene changes, for improvements are
made as required mere in Hilo the.
public is without council of state and
without head OF q department hav-
ing authority TO oIuer repairs or i'm
provements made. milo citizens mar
vel at the absence CT the head or sub
head OF the public works department
during the investiga ton of wharf mat
tiers. 1t is now nealiy two years since
a representative OF the department has
been in Hilo and in the interval one
bridge and tow path have been con-
structed at considerable cost to the
government. What this Island needs
is local government and the need is
made stronger by the apparent indif-
ference of the heads of departments at
the capital. Hilo seldom asks for any
thing without receiving the merry ma,
ha. from those who have the power to
grant it.
The postal service on Hawaii said
the Tribune, has not reached a point
where Island mails By an intermediate
steamer may be dispatched overland
the moment of arrival On general
the kick Of contemporary
on this subject is correct, but in the
particular instance referred to Mr.. Nc
Kay had the Maui steam twenty-siS
miles additional in order that The
mail might be landed at Laupahoehoe
for Hilo. The steamer arrived at a.
N. and the mail left by regular carrier
six hours later. This is a vast i'm
provement on the old style, when a |
nail was occasionally landed at Pepea-
keo and brought into Hilo later by pri- |
Gate enterprise. After January list The
service will no doubt be as good if not |
better than it is on the mainland in
places OF the beaten paths.
