Some stiictcr lcgulations seem ft) be demanded, in the interest of pub lic convenience and comfort, regard ing the privileges of builders on the public streets. The other day at tention was called to piles of lumber left on the sidewalks, with no light at night to wnrn pedestrians of danger to their shins. This was not suggested by main building opera tions, but by cases of internal repair and the stock-in-trade of caipcntcr shops. If that grievance docs not coinc within ordinary police super vision, it would be interesting to know what in Honolulu does. We are talking now, however, of the privileges granted builders - ith res pect to utilizing the streets for their own purposes. A lesser proportion of the sttcct than is at present allow ed ought to be made to do contrac tors. Then there should be the prescription of proper fences and walks around the piles of material, with lights at night to indicate their location at a distance. Again, the time during which the street may be obstructed for a siuglc building ought to be definitely limited. It is out of all reason that main thorough fares should be blocked with vast piles of brick or lumber so long that they become objects of archaeological curiosity, on account of hitches that may occur between proprietors and contractors, or delays in getting money, labor or material. It is to be hoped this matter will be made the subject of legislation at the next session of the Legislature. REPORTED NEW INVENTION. A discovery is announced to have been made in Germany, whereby sugar can be got from cane without crushing or boiling. Electricity and alcohol arc the novel elements of the invention. If there is anything in the story, a revolution may be shortly expected in sugar manufacture. It is said that absolutely all the sugar is extracted by the process, and re quires no refining ; furthermore, that the, cost of the required plant is trifling compared with that of the machinery used in existing modes. It would bo a great thing for these Islands if the sugar could be shipped in a refined state from the planta tions. That would be an advantage that could scarcely be neutralized by the reduction in price the invention might cause. The report is almost too good to be true, but the day is past for becpticism of the powers of inventive genius, until the achieve ments claimed arc proved fictitious. EDITORIAL NOTES. "Action's" letter in this From issue wc have expunged sonic per sonal criticism, which would be ad missible only if its objects were now voluntarily before the electorate, The paragraph in ycslci day's is sue, commented upon by the Adver tiser, regarding the absence of men tion of Blaine at the Grand Army convention in his own Slate, was suggested by the stress laid upon the fact in a poition of the American press. It was noted as tho strangest thing ahout tho festivities, that, while Logan was accorded a continuous ovation, the roan whose name pre ceded his on the Presidential ticket was silently ignored. Notwithstand ing that Blaino is not a veteran, a statesman of his prominence and his relations with tho hero of the hour, might have bceu expected to bo called to the front when his State was reciprocating honors with the saviors of their country. AWAITING ACTION. Ediiok Bulletin: "As you claim to bo a Free Press,"-! hope you will allow tnc my turn now, to say that if your correspondent, who hides his impatience for action un der the above signature, is welcome to lake me for a green hand, I have evidently the right to judge, from his logic, that ho is far from being green. I am afraid ho is too ripe, in fact a musty old fogy, who does not like to sco any one have any opinion on anything outside of bis antiquated notions, and my reason for this idea is that extraordinary statement of his which still perplexes me in his answer, viz.: "the idea that any election would influence a change is a fallacy long ago ex ploded;" and for fear of his not being well understood, he repeats at the end, "if we wait for election to do anything, it would only be an other great mistake." Well, then, dear sir, if waiting for election or constitutional means to work a bad government into a good one, is only a "fallacy" and a "great mistake," pray, what 'arc we to do and how are wc to act? Do you mean to bay that our only re source is shouldering a rifle and calling down here some French Com munists or Irish Dynamitisers to blow up Palace, Barracks and Gov ernment House? If so, why don't you speak out and especially why hide behind a petty nom dc jlume your brilliant personality, around which wc would all flock, as around the rising star, the wanted leader? And then the chances arc that you would not have long to remain "Awaiting Action."' Or else, do you mean to say that anything but servile resignation to the present status is useless? In that case what are you awaiting action for? 1 now wish further to dispose of some minor points of the panic cor respondent's letter. 1st, I might agree theoretically with him that in a country like this, the Minister of Interior ought to be the first of all, as it was formerly. But as wc must at present take things as they arc, and not as they might or might not be, I placed in my enumeration the Minister of Foreign Affairs first, as it now stands. And 1 then put Mr. Mar ques' name to it, because I consider, on very good reasons, too long to give here, that 'gentleman the best qualified of all others in the country for that peculiar department. But Mr. "Awaiting Action" must not cither make so little of the Minister of Foreign Affairs, for that is the one which specially deals with for eign immigration, and let him not forget that immigration is the only way of saving this country. 2ndly, 1 am glad to sec that the man that I proposed as best for the Interior Department is so cor dially and enthusiastically endorsed by your correspondent, but I can not accept the energetic Mr.Godfrey Brown to be replaced by Mr. J. O. Carter. Odly, As for Mr. Dole's name, I respect it, but for mc, all honor able lawyers' names arc equal, and Mr. Hartwell, I think, has no blem ish against his character, as some kind of a sneer in that letter might induce us to think. ithly, Concernincr the others' names suggested by my "ripo" ad versary, who is perhaps a newspaper man himself and feels sore at having been left out of olllcc, I should 'like to enquire how many arc citizens here, and consequently eligible? And 1 now wait for "Awaiting Action" to come to Action. THE POLITICAL SITUATION. Kditoii Bulletin : My name hav ing been of late brought out rather conspicuously in your paper, much to my surprise and as much against my wish, this, I consider, givens mc a kind of a right for asking of your kindness to allow mc place, when convenient, for expressing some of my views on the matter. To start with, in what regards looking out now for who would or would not make good Ministers, it is I think altogether premature and useless : premature because there is no actual probability of any change in the picscnt administration taking place, neither now nor until the meeting of the future Legislature ; useless, because when the King does change his Ministers, cither through outside pressure or tluough his own wish, ho will probably choose the men he likes the best, not those best liked by the public. Thercforo I con sider that both your correspondents which I shall call Action No. 1 and Action No. 2 arc on a wrong trade. It is not future Ministers that wc require looking out for at present, it is for practical "leaders" for tho next legislative campaign. And this lends mo to a most sur prising heresy formulated by Action No. 2, which if allowed, as I am afraid it, will, to stand uncontra dicted might be the source of untold mischief in our small political circle. Action No. 2 says that, "the idea that any election would influence a change is a fallacy, that MuajniBX'i i ' Lump fiijaaniMjauiajLiwnMiaUMuMMJiMiMiriiwiiiu i. liiwunMUMmmwwaiwttaiiHiiuiiiii tiiliiiiWixafctMwJuueuuaji.MiwiJWilwiii'iitilW is long ago exploded;' aud further ho emphasizes his idea by ndding, "If wo wait for elections to do any thing, it will only bo another great mistake, 20 members vs. 20 Nobles and four Ministers and tho King's veto." "What the number of mem bers and Nobles has to do in this peculiar matter, I am quito at u loss to understand, for the House has never once stood 28 independent members ngainst 20 dependent Nobles and -1 subservient Ministers: on the contrary, the Nobles have, as a rule, been the most independent and patriotic voters, but perhaps Action No. 2 has not yet boon long enough in tho country to know that. At any rate, here is the heresy: if "waiting for elections" to do any thing, and expecting any change out of them, is a "fallacy, a great mis take, long ngo exploded" (by whom?) then what is the use of our good, independent members who fought so valiantly, and did, against all odds, so much good work at the last session, what is the use, I re peat, of their running at all? And, further, what is the use of the press cryiug down the abuses, what is tho use of any one occupying himself with politics, with elections, with reform, with organization, with get ting in more voters and selecting "leaders?" All that is bosh, if Action No. 2 could be right, and I will leave the answer for the public to give, who will probably ask him also what kind of action lie is await ing. But if he really means what ho says, he evidently cither has been bought up by Mr. Gibson himself to write stuff that may discourage the ignorant voters and prevent them from doing their duty and helping their share, to change the actual statu quo ; or else there is some thing wrong in the equilibrium of his mind. And, moreover, all the chances arc that if he had to lift up the mask under which, he prudently hides, we would find out that he is not even a voter. About the names that have been discussed, I have nothing to saj', except that 1 am proud of always being put into such good company. I will, however, take this occasion of repeating that I fully agree with all the praises that have been bes towed on Mr. S. G. Wilder. I con sider this gentleman the best man for the Interior Department, the only one who can help to save the country from its rapid slide towards ruin. I have the greatest respect for what Mr. Wilder has already accomplished and rest the greatest hopes in what ho could yet do, and I like his uniform, courteous, gen tlemanly public behavior, which is not common in our public men. Mr. Wilder is evidently to be one of our sheet anchors, if ho will help the country when his time comes. As lor my own name being brought out and discussed, I have nothing to fear from publicity, but, although thanking so many of my friends amongst which I must not forget to place Action No. 1 for their kind opinion about the possibilities of my being capable of doing some good to this, my adopted country, 1 would rather them keep the subject for the proper time. When that comes, if the unanimous voice of public opi nion pointed to me as a useful helper, then I might consider whe ther I should bo what Action No. 2 calls -"big fool" enough to accept office or not, and I doubt what the decision should be. But, at any rate, if 1 did accept, "to save the ship before it is too late," two things I could warrant, and these are, 1st, that I would servo the country as a duty, not for a job ; 2ndly, that I would serve it with the utmost free dom and independence from any clique, or clan, or sect or party; and that is more than a good many men here could say for themselves. A. Marques. A LITTLE DARKEY'S SACRIFICE. A negro and his family living on the Decatur division of the Louis ville and Nashville Railroad recently attempted one of the most sensa tional swindles of tho day. There are ten children in the family, and the husband and wife find it hard work to feed so many mouths. At a family council it was finally de cided that one of the children should sit down on the railroad track and bo run over by a passenger train. The parents would then sue the company for damages, with which the remain ing youngsters could bo fed, clothed and educated. One of the boys was so much struck with the project that ho volunteered to sacrifice himself for the good of tho others. Shortly before tho train was due ho took his seat on the track and waited. The train came thundering along. Tho little darkoy held the fort. He was true grit until the engine got within about ten feet of him, when ho gave an unearthly yell, and with a bound into midair made tracks. The authorities investigated tho matter and tho above facts came out. St. Xouis Globe-Democrat. Upon one of the railway lines: The train stops; an employe an nounces the name of the station in a voice which is completely unintelli gible. "Speak more distinctly," says a traveller; "wo can't under- stand a word you say." "Do yon expect to have tenors for $18 a month?" growls the railway em ployc. SPECIAL AUCTION SALE.
