AH OPPORTUNITY FOR ADVER TISING HAWAII. Professor Sidney Dickenson, who made a few weeks' stay here and delivered several lectures in the Ha waiian Opera Houao, while on his way to New Zealand and Australia, four or five months ago, communi cated with our townsman, Mr. A. M. Hewett, by tho last mail from Sydney, N. S. "W. In the Colonials Mr. Dickenson has found a people who appreciate his illustrated lec tures on French Art. Moreover, they were keen to perceive that- his method was one that could be used for advertising the Colonies abroad ; and have entered into arrangements with him to prepare three illustrated lectures one on, Australia, one on New Zealand, and one on Fiji, Sa moa and Tahiti. These1 lectures are to be delivered in Great Britain ami the United States. Tho venture has strong financial backing, and if money can make it a success, it will be a success. During Professor Dickenson's stay in'1 Honolulu there, was some .i . - . talk of a similar lecture! ..being pre pared on tho Hawaiian Islands'; but', so far as wo know, the prdjecti litis not yet pa'ss6d' beyond "that'stage. The time is now opportune for, do iDg something in that direction. It is already settled that 'fMr. 'Dickeri son shall make a tour "tlir'ougb'oiit the countries above mentioned with the three Australasian lectures, and it wouldbo a good tblngJ,ifa fourth one on these Islands could be added to the list. Tho Professor1 'offers' a suggestion to that effect, "and wo think the suggestion should be adopted if possible. He proposes that he be furnished with negatives not merely photographs' of about ;75 of Mr. J. Williams' best pictures of native scenery and life, in order that' h may take them with him to Paris, for which city1 he expects to start from Australia about May 1, 1889, and have them made up into stcreoplican slides. Tho pictures should be as varied, interesting and picturesque as1 possible, especially including sbrao' of the volcano. Mr. Dickenson suggests that the people m'paf. 'interested in advertising tho Islanas.'a'nd promoting travel, should fiirnisk him with the necessary .ne gatives and 8 150 in cash, to. coyor tud expense .of making slides from- tliGm. Further lnfnrmatlnn mn.v h obtained 6f, Mr. Hewett.' Should our people, being, olive, tp their bwn interests,, be disposed' to do anything in this lino, we would suggest tho importance of avoiding delay ; for tho negatives should be in Sydney by April next. DISCREDITABLE CONDUCT. A lady has complained of the misconduct of some hackm'en. The lady, with her family, went to the ball at tho Palace last night in her own private carriage, and sent the horsO and carriage home in charge of lier Chinese servant, with Instruc tions for htm to return with the Vehicle at a certain hour. ' He did ho, and while waiting' at the Palace gate, along with rioVeral public hacks, the drivers of some of tho latter embraced the. opportunity to cause every possible annoyance to the Chtuaihan. They threw dirt into the carriage, whipped tho'horse, and did sundry other things; for what reason, ia not. apparent, unless because a Chinaman was in charge. Such conduct merits more than cen sure: the guilty parties deserve pun- 1 iahmont of a severer nature. 1 MR. II. H. SIMPSON. It is known to our readers that Mr. Harry II. Simpson, the business manager of the baseball people ex pected by the Alameda next Satur day, arrived by tlic Australia last Tuesday, and is now here preparing for their coming. During the few days that Mr. Simpson has been in Honolulu he lias won the good opin ion of all with whom ho has hud dealings, and the esteem and friend ship Of those with whom ho has as sociated. He is a gentleman of quiet' and unassuming demeanor, and of strictly temperate habits. Mr. Simpson is an all-round base ball, foot ball and cricket player. He will fclay on Saturday next, not with tho American players, but with the local team. Mr. Simpson is practising daily with our own play ers, and it is confidently helieved that they will make an exhibition on Saturday of which we shall not be ashamed. NEWSPAPERS REPRESENTED. The baseball players ahd the tourists accompanying them, due here by the Alameda next Saturday, havo among them representatives of the following leading American papers:, New York World, Boston Globe, St. Louis Post-Dispatch, Chicago Tribune, PhiladclphidPress, Philadelphia Sporting Life, Chicago Times, Boston Herald, , New York Press, Chicago Evening Journal, Outing Magazine,- New York Sun, Chicago Herald, San Francisco.Chro nicle, St. Louis Globe-Democrat, New York Herald, and Chicago News. These papers have millions "of readprs in the United' States, and besides they circulate, more or less, in every country of the civilized world. Their respective represent atives will undoubtedly furnish them ful particulars,not only of the day's bascballing here, but also of matters in general which enter into the day's experience. Let ns give the' party a reception which will c'bmpel them to think, speak, and write well of us. i WHAT OTHER COUNTRIES DO TO PROTECT THEMSELVES. The idea' of protection against the 'incursions of a class of foreigners deemed to bo undesirable, which has come prominently to the front in this community during the cur rent year, is not peculiar to this country There was a period in English history when an outcry was raised against, the privileges of citiz enship 'being granted, to Frenchmen in England, and in compliance therewith stringent restrictive meas ures were adopted. ' We aro all more or less familiar with what has recently been done in the United States, Australia, and elsewhere in regard to the Chinese. But our readers in' gericral are probably not aware that very stringent measures, recently- enacted, curtailing the rights of' foreigners irt that country, ore" now in force in Norway. The Norwegian? haVe a Jaw relating to citizeiiBlilp,, which has been In opera tion since April 1, 1888( understood to be intended to apply mainly tb Englishmen, as they are tho princi pal invaders of that country. We copy tho following: 9. In future real property, except by special permission of the King, or the authority authorized by him, may only be legally acquired in the realm by Norwegiau or Swedish State citizens, Corporations, institu tions, or limited liability companies, when their boards have their seats in Norway or Sweden, and consist ex clusively of Norwegian' and Swedish State citizens. The same rule shall apply to leases of landed property, and the rights of usufruct, use or other rights conferred thereby with regard to such property. The King may grant exemptions from enactments of this paragraph with respect to leases or other rights acquired', for a' period not exceeding ton years. Note License to work mines ia freo to all. Dissenters may acquire Jttnded property for sites of churches, schools', parsonages and cemeteries. 13. If an agreement not ihbonJ formity with 9 is' executed by the registration of tlio title deed, or Jf the purchaser or the lessee has en tered into.possession of the estate, or the exercise-of' the rights conccdj ed, the authorities -' shall fix a timo for the adjustment of- the mat-! tor. Tho'ltriiit of timo' allowed must not be less than G months nor more than 3 years. 14. On tjhe expiry of the term fix-: ed, the property or said rights shall1 bo sold by. compulsory auction, by order of the superior authorities,' without any previous negotiations of agreement or notification to the party. - ASSISTED LANDINGS. A refreshing article appears in the "Advertiser" about "assisted" land ings; that is, places along our coasts made available as landings partly by private and partly by public money. There aro many such landings in the Kingdom. Al though they have been assisted by Government funds, they are private property. "A tariff Is establish ed," (by the owner) "and jrates are charged for. the getting of freight up the cliffs," and our contempo rary asserts that tnese Tales are ex orbitant. Similar information comes to us from other sources. The "Advertiser" thinks tho Govern ment should "step in and regulate the prices charged for getting freight into the hands of the indi viduals to 'whom it belongs." That is about our opinion', only we would go farther and say that these land ings, where needed by the public, should become Government property for the public benefit. EXPECTATION. The town is on the lip-toe of ex pectation. Seldom is the coming of the San1 Francisco steamer looked forward to with such'' universal in terests We expect to sec the Ala meda along bright and early to- j morrow morning, and if she .disap points us, (which we do not bclteve she will) wo shall bo greatly disap pointed. The community is eagerly waiLini? 'for news of tho .Prnsirlfintial election and for the American base- 'ball players, both of which are oh the Alameda. The, news of the election will be received with joy by the sympathisers with whichever party lias won tho victory, and naturally with feelings of disap pointment by the other side. The' baseball players wjllbo heartily wel comed. Preparations have been and are being irrado by the gentle men having thd matter' in charge, to make the day one of. enjoyment to our visitors. We'foel sure that' tho party will have no cause to regret their" visit to our shores on the spore of treatment. Several promi nent business firms have intimated their iritcntipn of closing their estab lishments at noon for the balance of tho day, and most white men's busi ness houses will pro'btibly'foll'pw that commendable example. The pro gramme of the day will be found In another column, from ' which' "our roaders can learn how thb time Is to bo employed. Nov. 23, RELIGION IN GOVERNMENT SCHOOL HOUSES. The Board of Education has adopted an expedient wh'lch has been tried and found to work well in soino other countries;' Viz., to allow clergymen of any denomination the uso of Government school houses for tho purpose of giving religious instruction to children, after the regular school hours, The Board has instructed tho School Agents that they "may arrange with the clergymen of any religious denominf ation to allow them the uso of the publlo school houses after 2 o'clock, p. in., for a time not exceeding one hour onco a week for each deno mination applying, for Jllio religious instruction of such scholars as may choose to attend with the consent of their parents." This is a perfectly fair and equal proposition, giving no one deno mination the advantage of others, and allowing al an. opportunity to impress their religious 'beliefs upon tub minds of thoso disposed to re colrtfth'ew. S6mo objection may bo raised ngalhst the shortness of the .timo permitted only one hour in capa-wcck to each denomination ; but probably the Board will not hold Wry:tena'.ci6usly to this point, if it bo'Buowii' that the time is insufll cicnt. The Board' provides for the entire youth of the country,- of all classes) and creeds, the rudiments of a secu lar education teaches'them to.read,' write,- and cipher, and' endcavora to instil into their minds tho. principles of morality. No fornif religion is included in 'the curriculum, for the good arid suiiI6icnt reason that in a cotamunity'whero several religious beliefs obtain no ono of the number can be acceptable to all,, and it is manifestly unjust to force 'upon a child a "creed which is obnoxious to the conscience, of the parent. And yet tie Board doesnot interfere with parents bringing up their children to any religious belief they may deem best, but 'allows f till liberty of c6ri8ciehce even permitting its school houses to bo used' as schools of religion- out of regular school hours. This is precisely what is done in the Australian colonics and "sbrae'6tlier countries, and is, in our opinion, all' that the various religious denominations can reasonably require. HOKA. The AlarUeda'B failure to arrivo ihis'mdrn'ingj according to expecta tion was a great disappointment all round. Everybody was in Teadiness at day light, but the steamer, with the' baseball' players, was npt on hand. Business has been suspended most of the day about as much as if tho steamer had come. Hope was entertained by many until the major part of the forenoon had gone, that flip steamer would yet be in time for a baseball exhibition this after noon. But everybody is "hoka." It Js expected, however, that what the community had calculated for to'day will be realised on Monday next. THE' PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION. By a majority of the votes of the American people on tho Cth day of i tho present' month it was decided that Mr! Harrison shall be Presi dent of the United States, in suc cession, to tho present incumbent, when the current term has expired. Already the immense excitement preceding and accompanying the election is felt as a thing of the fad ing, past in the States, and the gen eral routine of lifo proceeds pretty 'much as beforo the excitement be gan:, although to us it was a matter of doubt and speculation until yesterday, as to which party had triutriphed. The- steamship Ala meda brought tho news, and now wo; know. Thos"6lof our peoplo who 'are Americans and aro allied to tho Republican Party, and all thoso of our polyglot community who may bo iti-sympatjby Tvith that party are glad and 'jubilant', w'bilo Democrats andp'empcratio.Bympathisers are iu a moi;o grave iiumor ; for most Am erican1 residents in this country take as lively an interest in the quad rennial Presidential election as if they wore at home. According to a well-established and a generally-recognised principle in1 American politics, that' "major ity rules," It now becomes tho duty of the losing party to submit with a good grace to the choice of tho ma jority, and accept Mr. Harrison as the President of the entire nation and the whole people. This ia a duty which tlm great American family' is not lifiiikily slow to1 fulfil. Of course, there may be a few ex tremists in the Democratic party who belfeve and say that becauso a Republican President has been chosen the country is doomed and ruin or disaster must follow. Sensi ble men know better. They know that whether a Republican or Demo- emtio President' is at the head of the nation, in reality matters but lit tle, and that the great interests, of tho country tire about equally safe in the hands of either. CORRESPONDENCE. CObKpnOBIA. Euitou Buukxik:, Tho disease of Cookphpbia is peculiar; to the Ha waiian Islands, and is supposed to be produced from an inordinate uso of bean diet inthiawarm climate. The symptoms arc spasmodic efforja, to rush into print with vaiuVb.t-) tempts tp oust unfounded odium) upon .the memory of the cclobratcdj navigator and discoverer, jCaptainj Cook, who was killed in Hawaii, about a hundred years ago. It is fortunate that Cookphobia is harmless and non-infectious. Tho) shafts of its victims aro leveled; against the honored dead as thoi memory of Captain Cook Is revered' wherever the. English language is spoken ; not only for his important geographical discoveries, but also for his, generous and humnno char acter and the benefits, to science which ho and his able ofllcers rend ered. k Tho first man on the Hawaiian Isl ands infected with Cookphobia, Ao any prominent extent, was one Jarvis, who ignored tho authorized narratives of Cook's voyages written by the shipmates of the distinguish ed, navigator. Thi9 , Jarvis wrote a mixture of tradition and fancy which he, called Hawaiian history; and', being severely affected with Cook phobia, he. lost himself in.myth and inyective describing Cook as the op posite of what all authorities sub stantiate by the best of proofs. Since Jarvis' timo this peculiar disease bias obtruded itself occasion ally, and it invariably appears in, as sociation with other morbid condi tions of tho. brain. On the average thero havo been three or four cases of Cookphobia each year since Jarvis wrote, and tlin nrnsnnh vp.ir linn nrrwlnnprl ita full Rlmrn rt rnliiH writnra nnnmtliia I worn-out theme. As I, said abovo, I the disease is harmless,' inasmuch as no injury can be done to tho dead; but Cookphobia is at tho same time, a misfortune to its vic tim, because it is the outcome of a mental malady that is liable to take a more dangerous turn. In a warm climate liko that of tho Hawaiian Islands, the victim of Cookphobia should especially ab stain from bean diet as it causes "wind upon the brain," and is a fruitful source of those symptoms which indicate tho presence of tho disease under notice. M. D. INSANITY IN NORWAY. Editou Bulletin: You twill find in the P. C. A. this morning a short notice about Idiocy and insanity in Norway, saying that they have ln-r creased by over one hundred percent,' because the duty on spirits has bcenabolished. Now, don'tyou think that an cdN tor ought to, bo a little more careful about what he says concerning other nationalities? As no source' is given, from 'where tho notice is taken,-the editor of the P.

If everything that happcns"in tho families here should' be exposed, I think wo would find this community just as bad as any cither, and worse than many, in splto of all church-talk." It would perhaps be well If tho edi tor of the P. 0.

Editor Bulletin: I have jut finished reading one of tho mots pleasant, and I believe truthfi 1 books ever written. It ia calle I "Midnight Sunbeams," and is i record of a trip through Norway an I Sweden in 1888, by two gentlcme i well known in New, England. Th s author, Edwin C. Kimball, says o t page 3G0 and sequel: "Formcrl ' there was scarcely any rcstrictio i placed on tho buIo of liquor in No; way, nnd in 18S3 tho consumptio i of strong liquors amounted t twenty-eight quarts per head of tb j entire population of the country , and thero was a vast amount I drunkcnncsB with its attendat i misery, poverty, and Crime. But, owing to the raising of tl i duty upon liquor, and tho work i temperance societies; the consumj tioii was greatly lowered, and tl j introduction of what is called tt j "permissive bill," has still furtlu restricted the trafDc. By this la ' the authorities of a district may, b ' a majority vote, refuse to grant i license for tho salo of liquor, c ? they can give tho monopoly of tL liquor trade to a company, who at l)ound to pay them all tho profit , after' deducting expenses and tl j payment of a dividend' of fivo pe -cent. In many of the country di -iricts no licenses have been grantct , with tho result that drunkenness a almost unknown. In Bergen, and some of the oth r cities, the license is given to n cot -pany, who control all the shoj 5 where liquor is sold, and the aurplt 3 profits of the business are turni I into the city trcasary.
