Our cone.-poudent "Pal riot" in referring again to lite formation of Boards tells us that lie thinks --it would not he so dillicult to constitute an ellleient Hoard of Kducation as we suppose." We are glad to hear this from such a good authority as "Patriot" and hope tho day will not he far distant when the much needed change will be made. On the sub ject of payment of members, Patriot says that if they be. paid we "will find a thousand incompetent candi dates for olllce, and the way to cor-i-iiptinn will at once lie opened." It docs not follow that the "thousand incompetent candidates for office" need bo appointed, and wc trust that there is such a desire for the welfare of the country, in the minds of the persons who have the power to make these nppoiiilmcn(b, as to prevent the selection of the "thousand in competent candidates." A profes sional considers his opinion to be of a certain value, and we know of countries in which medical men w- BANKING NOTICE coivc a remuneration, for their ser vices on Boards, and for the advice and opinions which they arc compc- ! lent to afford to their fellow mem bers who have received no medical 1 trainin-. Tf they will give their j services gratuitously then so much the belter, but we think it preferable to pay a competent man, even if he be "no patriot," than to lose his services entirely. CREAT BRITAIN'S SUGAR DUTY. The editorial article of yesterday's Advertise)' contains the following: "Great llritnm presents a Far off market, but even if nearer and more eligible her policy is against discrim inating in our favor since she abso lutely refuses to do so in favor of her own colonies. Moreover, the duly on sugar in (.treat Urilain is very light and a discrimination secured would not compensate for the extra cost of freigKt." True in part, but not entirely. Great Britain closely approximates to absolute free, trade, and duties that may still be levied on any of the necessaries of life are extremely light. .She has, in the past, shown a strong disinclina tion to discriminate in favor of any country, but at present there are symloms of an opposite tendency, as instanced in recent negotiations with Spain. It is hardly right to say that "the duty on sugar in Great Britain is light." because there is no duty at all. There was a duty of a half penny per pound until a- few years ago, when that small amount was reduced to nothing. A DISTURBANCE AT KAKAAK0. Hearing rumors yesterday of a disturbance at Kakaako wc made enquiries from Mr. Van Gcisen, Hie superintendent, and give his story of the circumstance. At half past three in the morning 1 heard a noise which T thought was an earthquake, I was asleep in my house with my wife and children. The noise was caused by ten of the leper patients who .smashed open the door and rushed at me seizing me by the leg, throat, beard and body. I immediately put my hand out for my revolver which is always at the side of my bed, but before I could use it the, men had seized me. I shouted for help and all the police men on duty came to my assistance, and the men were captured and placed in the cells. The motive for the attack- was revenge. The lepers had passed Hie eight policemen who were on duty, without .bcing seen, and had crept up to my house. I reported the matter to Mr. Dayton anil borrowed .some more handcuffs. Three of the men ivho attacked me wei e to be sent to Molokni but now 1 intend to &cwl all ten and they will be the ftnt shipped on board the Mokolii. I had carried a revolver (an ivory one. ornamented with gold) to-day as 1 value my life at more than that of all the lepers. There were four other policemen who were not on duty. Dr. Fitch is out of town and Dr. Parker has not been at the Branch Hospital to-day. Her Majesty Queen Kapiolani came here early in the morning and ad vised tho people to be quiet. She had heard of and asked about Hie disturbance. The ten men were confined, hand cuffed, in two cells about six feet long and four feet wide, five men being in each cell. The superin tendent stated that he considered that was "good enough treatment for them." The representatives of the Bn.r.r.Tix and Gazette were al lowed to see, but not converse with, five of the men ; but the ringleaders were not exposed to view. The door of the cell was opened and a policeman called to "stand by" as it a rush were expected from the prisoners, but they sat quite still. Further reference to this disturb ance and particulars of information received will lie given in our next issue. POLICE COURT. FnuiAV, March 7th. D. MoNc.nl, drunk, forfeited his bail, 80. Mua and Kamana, adultery, were remanded indefinitely. Ah Chow, Ah Wai, Ah San and Ah Chan were charged with assault and battery, Mr. John Kiissell for the defence. There had been a dis pute "with another Chinaman relative to some land and tho defendants held that the injured party fell on somc ploughed land, thus inflicting the injuries. Judge Biekcrton con sidered, from the nature of the in juries, which were of a very grave and serious character, that they must have been inflicted by a blow or kick. Ah San and Ah Chan were discharged; Alt. Chew and Ah Win were fined 850 and 830 respect ively. Appeal noted. THE QUEEN'S HOSPITAL. The following is the report of Dr. MoKibbin for the quarter ending i'fUh February. Number of patients in the hospi tal, 79 ; 40 Hawaiians, fi Chinese and 28 of other nationalities, 29 paying.

Kihtok Bou.r.Tix: I thank you for the insertion of my last, and would ask the additional favor of space for this. I do not entirely approve of every thing contained in your article on the subject of my communication. You arc quite correct, I believe, in saying that "until the reign of the present Premier there was no such monopoly of Boards as exists to day." Nevertheless, our Boards, with 'the exception of the Board of Education, had too close a connec tion with the general government previous to the reign of the present Premier. I believe I am right in saying that the Boards of Health and Immigration have always been' partly made up of men holding cabi net positions. Whereas, my opinion is that it would be better for those Boards and for the Ministers to have no connection whatever. A Board of Health entirely com posed of non-medical men lias always 6cemcd to me an anomoly. But this, to my mind, is less objectionable than making it a committee of min isters of state. I do not think it would be so difficult to constitute an efficient Board of Education as you suppose. There arc probably more men in the community fitted for that Board than for either of the others. I refer to such men as have been at sonic period of their lives engaged in the work of teaching. Your suggestion that members of the Boards be paid I cannot endorse. The moment you attach a money va lue to membership you will find a thousand incompetent candidates for office, and the way to corruption will at once be opened. Of course, the Boards need executive officers, and these officers must be paid, as at present. A man who will not give a little of his leisure for the good of his country is no patriot. Board meetings might be held in Hie even ings, so that men who have their own matters to attend to during the day time might attend without detri ment to their own business. This is what is done in many other coun tries. Why not hero? Pathiot. EARLY CLOSING. Editor Bumxtik : I. in common with many others, am glad to see the agitation of the half-holiday ques tion. If agreed to and adhered to by all, nobody would be injured and everybody would bo benefitted thereby. I have always considered the business hours of Honolulu unnecessarily long. In the first place, what need is there for store keepers to open their stores at soven o'clock in tho morning, particularly dry goods establishments ? How much business do they do for the next two hours? A very few pcoplo here, any more than elsewhere, go out shopping before nlno or ten o'clock. It is tnio that live o'clock is not u late hour to close. But it would bc.just as well for the busi ness people and their customers if they did not open until eight or nlno o'clock. I think most men would prefer working vigorously seven or eight hours a day to being employed nine or ten hours with less to do. But this is not what 1 meant to say when 1 began. My intention was to suggest that it might be easier for everybody to shut up ntnoon on Wednesdays than at tho same hour on Saturdays. In some countries where the half-holiday arrangement is in vogue the middle of the week is found more convenient for all concerned for closing than the end of the week. Mechanics and labor ing men usunlty get then- pay on Saturday and lay in their week a supply of provisions on that day. For litis class of the community it is a decided accomodation for shops to keep open Saturday evenings. In fact, the reverse might bo considered a great inconvenience. This, of course, applies only to retail houses. But the same difficulty is not in the way of a unanimous closing for a half day in the middle of the week. No doubt, the majority of em ployees would rather have the half day on Saturday, but better have it on Wednesday than not at all. So I would suggest that if the most desir able day is not practicable let those concerned agree upon a day less im practicable. SuoGUsroit. Auction Sale3 by Lyon3 & Levoy.
