Our Streets, The roads of Honolulu seem to attiaet no attention from members of the Government. It is possible Hint tlicy notice them, but they do not show it by taking any sensible action in the matter. Some months ago vc were promised a road scraper from California, and one was stated by the Minister to have been ordered. So far no sign of it lias been seen. In tbc meanwhile nothing of" a temporary nature is being done, and the streets get dirtier and dirtier every day. Wc are told by the Road Supervisor that it is not worth while doing any tiling temporal ily except tilling up dangerous holes, nntil the slrccts can bo made permanently. This is vciy true, but a little greater expedition in making the streets permanently, would con siderably lessen the just complaints which arc so life just now. Just think of the wear and tear to vehi cles and tbc loss of time to freight nnd passengers which the present bad state of the roads causes. A calculation has been made that it takes something like 830,000 a year to keep the public vehicles of the town in repair. All this comes out of the pockets of the people, and at least half of it could be saved if the roads were good. Thciloss to the community in both time and money which these badly conditioned roads causes is cnor--mous, nnd if it could be exactly as sessed would probably reach 300, 000 a year. Now, if one-third of this sum ivcre spent in keeping the streets of the town in good condi tion, just imagine lvlint splendid streets wc should have. The Ministry lake great credit to themselves that tlicy don't permit transfers, but they have another duty besides preventing the misap propriation of money they have to spend their income to the greatest advantage for the public. Vindication. "We learn fiom "Wednesday's Gazette' that C. 1). Hinckley who attempted to recover damages from Drs. Fitch and Rodgcrs for alleged improper treatment of a fractured thigh bone, has been operated upon in San Francisco and it has been found thit the bone was prevented fiom uniting by a piece of muscle which had got between the fractured cuds. It was proved by expert tes timony on the trial, that this accident was one which was liable to occur nnd also that it was a condition for which the attending physicians were in no way responsible and which it was moreover impossible for them to discover at the time. "Wc congratu late Drs. Fitch and Rodgcrs upon this vindication of their professional skill, and regret that they should have been put to great trouble and expense in a matter where it now appears they were not to blame. police Court, wednksdav, vkukua1iy 14.

Tin: Race programmes for the Coronation races, to take place at Kapiolani Park to-morrow, can now be had at J. "W. Robertson & Co.'s. On Wednesday night the State dinner in Honor ,of the Coronation was held at the Palace. The Minis try, Supreme Court Judges, Nobles, Diplomatic Corps and a few ofllcials were present, i Tin: stern wheel steamer, " Road Supervisor," will be launched nt 12 m. on Frhhty, the Kith inst. The public arc hereby notified that this steamer will ply between Wilder's building and, the' Honolulu Planing Mills, and. will carry freight and passengers at greatly reduced rates. -- The public were rather misled by the wording of the advertisement that appeared regarding the post ponement of the illumination. The three guns which arc to be fired arc not to notify the postponement but to notify tho evening when it will lake place. Ont, of tho passengers by the C. T. Hook as will bo seen in our Police Court report is in jail. Another a woman 60 tho Captain informed us, was reported to hiin to havo been sold for $500 and over. If this is true it is a nice state of tilings to have occurred in a country pretend ing to be civilized, . Tin: Streets around the" Pnlaco wcio crowded on Wednesday night by those who were anxious to ace tho illuminations. After u while about 8 o'clock it began to -be whispered about that there was to bo no illumi nation that night. A number went home but the groat majority stayed behind to witness some amateur performances in tho streets. Notice able among theso were two boys under '11 iu appeiuun.ee. liy ami I . .

This is what wc will nil havo to coma to if some means arc not taken of draining storm water from the streets. . . . Somi: Chinese merchants had or dered quantities of liquor from China before the passing of the new liquor law. As they had ordered it in ignorance of tho law before it was passed they were helped out of their difficulty by others who had impoi t ing licenses. Still, however, these same Chinese merchants, since the passage of the law, have ordered more liquor, and now they have again evaded the penalties by getting' others to pass their entries. Tin: conduct of the Minister of Finance has been many times de grading ,to the high office which he holds. Especially' was this the case at the luncheon after thei unveiling of the statue. His fellow .Ministers at last became sensible of thcodium which he was bringing on them aild' remonstrated in such a manner that we believe wc are conect in slating that his resignation or dismissal will shortly be officially announced. If this indeed bo true, the Ministry arc to be congratulated on having taken a manly and independent stand at last. Tin: delegates from the different districts who were appointed to at tend the Coronation were rather shabbily treated. They expected to be presented to His Majesty imme diately after the ceremony, but were not. They were told by the official whose business it was to come next morning at !). They came and were told to come again in the afternoon. They came again and wcio told to come at 1 o'clock next day. This was the daj' of the unveiling of the Kamcliameha Statute) and of course they were not presented. They then held an indignation meeting and sharply criticized that officials ac tion who led them such a dance. That is the story ns we have heard it. correspondence.

Enrroit Bulletin: Please allow me iMittlo ''space in your paper to express my pleasure and satisfaction villi a sentence in the Aiifliam Church Chronicle. The sentence to which I refer is in the " Reading Lesson," and runs thus, "The pro gress of the children depends quite as much on tho disposition of the teacher as upon the methods used." This is undoubtedly true, although too often ignored in considering the essential qualifications of teachers. I believe as much in, teachers being' qualified for thefr profession by tegular and thorough training as iu doctors, lawyers and clergymen be ing prepared for their respective professions by special instruction and training iu the various branches of their particular lines ; but I also belicvo that training only will not make a successful teacher. A know ledge of methods and measures docs not make a man kind and .sympathe tic and patient and firm nnd enthusi astic, and these qualities arc essen tial to tho success of any nnd every teacher. In other words, a teacher who lacks the "disposition" which secures tho affection and confidence of his pupils will never achieve great success iu teaching. Pati:ic.
