It Is to be noted that when the

do not do just that that plays into
the hands Of or otherwise benefits
set OF this community exclusively,
that set is ready to raise the cry of

absurd whine. Spasms OF this sort
do not last long, however, and as
they appeal more to sympathy than
to tho mind, are not calculated TO

was again in evidence in the House
last afternoon, An item OF $500 in
his favor for acting as Chaplain at
Oahu Prison was inserted 10 the
Unpaid Bills. He should always
pray in English in the future, as
that language seems better heard
than his own mother tongue.
Hawaii is now the victim in a cat
and-dog Fl sht between the navy and
immigration departments over the
possession of Channel Wharf. That
the former will win out goes almost
without saying. as the property was
turned over to the navy by the Pre-
sident under the authority given
him by the Organic Act. But in the
meanwhile immigration and quaran-
tine business will be seriously
hampered, all of which is another
"blessiug" OF annexation.

Nearly the whols OF yesterday
afternoon was spent by the House
ia discussion over the Kalua paiai
contract with the Board OF Health,
in the matter OF certain lots OF paiai
cent by the contractor and refused
acceptance by the one acting for
aud on behalf OF the Board at the
Leper Settlement. We think the
time spent on it's discussion was
wasted, as the Senate Public Expen.

ported adversely to it, believing that
it was matter for the Courts to

A reason given for the exodus OF
Portuguese to California is that the
prcm's ss OF work made to them by
the Republicans before the last
election hav> not been fulfilled and
they have given up hope in despair.
10 California they have substantial
promises of ample work at good
wages. Our Portuguese friends will
fiud in time, as the natives have
found to their sorrow, that they
cannot support their families and
homes on Republican promises.
Ante-election pledges OF that party
are the last thing 10 the word to
tie to.

The Bulletin endorses the project

and suggests a concentration of
effort at the port Of New York with
view to attracting desirable labor
ers from that vast source to the Isl
ands. The idea is a good one; but
like all good things it is fraught
with certain amount OF danger.
Hawaii certainly does not want to
start a stream OF Italians in this
direction and should hold out no
inducementsto Porto Ricans. Both
have been tried and found woefully
wanting. II, however, few of the
many thousands of Portuguese, con-
stantly being landed at New York,

A great many people think by
investing a few hundred dollars In
mining stock they are laying the
foundation for u substantial fortune
which will materialize almost az
soon IN their stock certificates are
issued. II IL true that many mines
have paid from their earliest
operation, but u majority of the great
ones of the country have not, and
tho fact remains that 10 takes time,
capital aud judicious management to
place the average property on pay
ing basis. There il probably no
field Of investment In the world
which has yielded such enormous
returns IN mining. Mining perhaps
has more millionaires to its credit
today than any other industry, yet
nt tho same time these fortunes are
not tho work of day, but of years
of perseverance, and conservative
management Of the mining properties
which have yielded them.
