EDITORIAL ARTICLES.
THE INTEHTtOH IS, TO SELL.
As previously stated in this paper,
Mr: F. H.Hayselden, proprietor of
the Elele newspaper and plant, is
desirous, of selling out the entire
property,, andhas advertised accord
ingly. An item in' the "Advertiser"
which says that it is reported that
the! paper and the establishment
"are to be placed under the. man
ngemtnt. of lion. J. E. Bush," it.
liable to mislead: The natural in
ference is that the present proprietor
is to retain ownership while Mr, Bush
assumes the management. We have
authority for saying that there is no
'such intention. Mr. Haysclden is
anxious to free himself absolutely
from tho entire newspaper and
printing business and ia doing his
bes'tj thf'pugh his agent, to effect a
sale. An attempt is. being made to
form:a syndicate, with Mr. Bush at
its head, to purchaso the paper and
plant,-and carry on the business.
NOT ALL BAD.
According to some people and
we have the misfortune to meet per
sons of this class every day tho
human family as a whole is utterly
bad, and tho Honolulu portion there
of most positively' so. There is no
.virtue', no sincerity, no honesty: AH
menare thieves, rogues, and liars
always excepting, of course, the
one who undertakes the wholesale
vilification: he stands alone. If a
man. goes to church or makes a pro
fession of religion, he is a hypo
crite. What better proof of this
than his profession? If ho does a
good dped, and there is no denying
it, it is. from a selfish motive. If
ho speaks or writes in defense of a
public servant, it is because he is
paid for it. If his criticism is ad
verso, this is prima facia cvldenco
that ho craves the billet, himself:
Whatever he does is for pay, and
when he Onds fault the pay is either
wanting or insufficient. How dread
ful, if this is our condition selfish
ness so. dominant, principle so lack
ing 1 Did we believe it for one
moment, we should lose no lime in
getting out of the country, into
another; or failing in the attempt,
should contemplate steps to leave
the world and climb a pole one or
the other of which alternatives wo
Binccrely invite the gentlemen, who
are constantly pestering us with the
above class of talk, to accept with
as little delay as possible. To be
sure, there is enough, hypocrisy,
selfishness, and dishonesty, and to
spare, in the town, but the commu
nity is not made up entirely of these
ingredients.
WHAT IS IN A NAME?
Of late years ,a proclivity for
naming ships after persons seems to
have seized portions of the shipping
fraternity of tlje United States.
The contagion rcachcdithese islands
a long while ago. Some of our mer
cantile fleet were ebristened'at the
commencement of their career after
well-known estimable persons; and
others have taken on new names of
the same class, in their mature age,
by a second baptism. Sometimes
the name of a deceased person is
chosen for a' ship, but1 perhaps more
frequently that of the living. Ship
owners sometimes use their own
names. a,iid sometimes, the names. of
their relatives or friends. What, is
intended as a compliment' may be-so
ingarded or otherwise, according to
tie taste of the person concerned,
or according . to the. kind of, craft
iipon which, the person's, name- is
conferred. A man or a' Woman may
view with pride a noble vessel bear
ing his or her name, riding majes
tically upon the ocean wave;t but
the sight of an old tub distinguished
by the same cognomen-, is not cal
culated to inspire, the same feeling.
peluating the memory of. one res
pected, must ever be precarious;
Sarah Jane may any day' heap of her
floating monument being wrecked
and ruined while she hersclff sur
vives. It may be asked, "What is in a
.name?" What, indeed? To a sailor,
and more particularly one. who has
sailed in a vessel haying her own
proper name, bestowed upon her
by some good lady whilst leaving
the ways dn nhicb she was built,
christened by a bottle of champagne,
broken against her bows, as she was
entering her native clement, this
changing of names is looked upon
as littlo less than sacrilege.
Take for example, the old historic
tea clipper "Min," named after, the.
river in China on which she, with
.many others of her class, loaded Tier
annual cargo of, tea and raced home
with tho"flrst flight" of clippers ifor
the additional ten, shillings per ton
in those days, given by ahippersfor
"first ship home." This- same old
"Min" that, in those.good old days
of sailing clippers that, were our
pride 20 years ago,' looked more like
a graceful yacht than a trader, is
now here in Honolulu, with her once
lofty spars reduced in, size, rig
changed from a ship to that, of a
bark, and called shade of Eon
fuciu8 tho "W. B. Godfrey." Cnn
It be a matter of surprise since this
strange metamorphosis, that she
should have misbehaved herself, and
allowed her bulwarks to be carried
away? The surprising thing is that
she can be made to steer!
As if the case of the "Min,V
above alluded to, changing lire
name from a river in China to that
of a respected American citizen,
were not enough, the good ship.
"Waikato," built for and until re
cently owned by the New Zealand
Shipping Co., turns up a full
fledged German. This is too much,
for oho who knew botli under their
original patronymics, to come all at
once. Tho "WaikatOt" uow tho
'J.C.Pfluger' was to-day alongside
tho Pacific Mail Co.'s wharf, and,
from her fine general appcaranco,
,doc3 not seem to havo suffered so
greatly by tho change as her
cousin "Min."
. After all, it is a matter of taste,
but we would prefer to select namc3
Ifor ships whlch'arcnot in the cata
logue of appellations usually given
to humttn beings. Above k all, we
would shrink, as from an act of
sacrilege, from, exchanging a lone
borne sweet-sounding name for a
harsh and unpoetio cognomen.
WHO IS TO BLAME?
It is a question in many cases
where people incur liabilities to
tradesmen which they are unable to
discharge, whether the creditors are
not more to blame than the debtors:
for instance, when the liability is in
curred by a purchase which results
from importunity on the part of the
seller. In their anxiety to effect a
sale, it is a common thing for trades
men to say, "take such and such
goods and pay for them when, you
can." They almost literally press
their goods into customers' hands,
taking, their .chances on payment for
the same. If the purchaser finds
himself indefinitely unable to pay,
who is to blame for the loss sustain
ed by the seller? As the seducer is
always more morally guilty than the
seduced: although usually the se
duced has to bear the shame," and
the seducer goes free, .so in this case
the most culpable party if either
be. culpable is the one who forces
the' sale.
THE 'ADVERTISER" TROUBLED.
The Bulletin is a source of great
anxiety to the "Advertiser." No
doubt, our smallrsouled neighbor
would like to have the field' to hinf
self, or at' least to hear the Bullk-
: tin continually shouting approval in
his trail. It grieves the Govern
ment organ exceedingly to find
our columns open for the expression
of all classes of opinions. Anything
which has a tendency to disturb the
quiet oft the snug little family arj
rangement makes the official organ
bristle all over. This superseusi
tivenoss developed- from the day
that the regular editor started out
on a vacation, ileaving a Government
employee in charge, and we presume
it will continue as long as the same
doctor writes the i prescriptions. It
l is nnhjnt. nil siinriHinrr tVinl. tln "Ad.
vertiser" is "disgusted" with the
.Bulletin, for how lovely everything
would. be, jf the latter were out of
the. way! The English-speaking
people: of the country would have to
"whistle" for a means of giving
vent tq the. dissatisfaction constantly
effervescing in the mind. But this
i"uiscrust" is not likelv toafiect our
course in, the. slightest. Disgust
.can bemet by disgust.. As io other
.people being disgusted with the
Uulu'.tin, there' is no doubt about
it: some people will always be dis
'gusted with anything and evcry-
tliing. Wo never forget the story
( about the old man trying to please
everybody. Neither is there any
'doubt about people being disgusted
with the, "Advertiser" quite a good
many people, too and it is about
time for the "Advertiser" to get
;disgusted with itself.
NOTHINQSUCtTeEDS LIKE SUC
CESS. "Nothing succeeds like success."
The man who accomplishes success
in any walk of life Or Hue of opera
tion, is the man who succeeds in
acquiring, a reputation for shrewd
ness, ability, or wisdom in that par
ticular direction. "Nothing fails
like failure." The man who falls
short of tho object of his aim, is
pronounced to bo wanting in the
qualities with which tho successful
mail is credited, lyhcrcas in reality
the successful man may luive ac
quired success by a "fluke'" or mere
accident, while, failure In tho other
case may have resulted from u cause
which no human, shrewdness or wis
dotu could avert.
Men with but little capital and
less brains sometimes become mil
lionaires by investing in lands,
stocks, etc., without any great ex,-
peetations,.and selling at times, of)
excitement and inflation. This suc
cess makes them fiuascial magnates,
wonderfully shrewd monj eminently
respectable, strictly ''honest-and 'hon
orable as all wealthy men are'j
great authorities on 'finance, and .de
ferred to on all matters relating to
the prudent, management, of great
financial a transaction, though they
may have no more brains than a
parrot. If the inflation had not
come, and they had! been .compelled
to sell out at half, the cost, their
weakness would have been disclosed
and they would have been adjudged
extremely foolish men, not at, all
respectable, and peihnps not even
altogether honest.
We live in a world and. in an age
where a man's general success is
regulated too largely, by the measure
of his success in acquiring wealth.
The dollar is the almighty power.
Its possession confers respectability,,
honor, nnd influence. What a great
and glorious thing is success in ac
cumulating coin! It changes the
biggest dunderhead, into an author
ity in finance, and makes' all tho
difference fctween an astuto and
honorable man of business and a
rogue. He is highly respectable,
and is the honored guest.at parties
bulls and- banquetSf nnd just the
man that public affairs should be
conducted to suit. But the man
whom fortune does not favor,, al
though he may be a sensible, de
cent, straightforward fellow, is. not
entitled to notice, respect, or influ
ence. Above all, the man who.fa.lfs
from riches to poverty, whatever the
cause, must prepare himself for be
ing jumped upon generally, accord.
ing to the custom of the age and the
principles of human nature.
So long as thiscusfotn of estimate
ing men by their material posses
sions, instead of by their, moraf and
im-ntal attainments, prevails, so
long will our boasted advancement
remain, to a large extent, a hollow
sham.
CORRESPONDENCE.
THE REAL CAUSE. '
Epnon Bulletin: I hear many
explanations of the causes of the
Pemocratio failure in the President
ial election free trade, English,
sympathy, etc. They are all wrong.
The real cause is to be found in
Hawaii nei. An American gentle
miui residing here, asserted, some
time ago that ' if the' Democrats
triumphed he would at once cease to1
be an American and become a Ha
waiian. This, of course,, became
known in the United States, and tho
people at once decided to elect
the Republican candidate, in order
to save to the Union the gentleman
referred to. Amkbican.

THE.CVTHOLICS AND'THE

severely, .apdttltinkiunfuirly, in tho

Considering! .his .letters, as being
dictated, )y the qsire.ot discussing
tldis.cb.oQi question, I, did my share
by Jreating it, from the Catholic
standpoint. He seemed to agree
with, mo. that t)ie abscqco.of religious
instruction is n, defect in our public
schools: As tq tho remedy, ho pro
poseda, .compromise a religious
instruction which., could bo accopt-
.1,1. .u.'nr.-:-.: i . .
uuw.jky uuj vmnnuw'Tt a iuicums UH ,
well as, Catholics,; I squarely stated
thatweqannot accept his proposi
tion, bcc.aus.0 Catholic, parents re
quire, their children to. bd instruct
ed in; the specific Catholic religion
and in no other, be it with Bible
reading or without.it. This, was a
Simple honest statement of Catholic
principles without controversy about
their intrinsic value. However
.quRerior lfc Layman's, mental facul-'ties(in,ay-be..to
mjne, 1 dare alllrni
that! pQBsess.a' fuller knowledge of
, my ow,n affairs, than, any outside
.' party.
' If, ls-notifairfto say that, I usk a,
priv.ilegp for the Catholics), but I do
ask that the peculiar requirements
,of- th.eir,,cons.eiencQ3 .be respected as
well as the wants of their neighbors.
Under, the prevailing circumstances,
the proposition offered, by P. Lay
man wotild practically decide the
, whole question in favor of, the Pro-
,testants while the claims of the
Catholics would be ignored.
In qrder to avoid misuuderstand
,ingi allow me. to state clearly that I
l well understand the diflicult task of
;t)ie 'government and of. the Board of
Education in, particular, on account
of the mixed population'. As pub
lic schools are, religious instruction
of any particular denomination
must be excluded.- This constitutes
' a necessary evil for which nobody
can be justly blamed. Nevertheless
wo cannot consider it a perfect sys
tem audtho goodiand liberal ought
to combine (unite) for the purpose
of finding a remedy, at least in many
particular cases. The Board of
Education deserves the highest
credit for its recant circular to the
school agents, allowing the ministers
of religion to use-the public school
houses 'for the instruction, of the
(children in their respective creeds.
This is a step in tho right direction,
the' impartial application of a just
principle.
But' P. Layman should not be
offended when I proposed a remedy
by far more elilcacious, that of
denominational schools, according
to the. choice of the children's, par
ents, mis is an. ideal which our
Board, of Education, cannot realize
(by itself oil a large scale). Tle
initiative is rather the work of the
churches.
IL may be, said, that we have full
liberty, to create independent schools
at pur own, expense. That liberty
scenes, -generous, nnd reasonable at
first s,ight and it is quite easy .for the
rich profit by it, but it isnot so easy
for.ihe ppor when tjicy must first pay
.the. .school-tax, for the. public schools
and tlien. pay again f qr a. school of
tlieir own, cnolco which they con-
siderj morally nepessary, for their
uwiVlicn. , uuu duif require u very
skilifu lawyer tp.qverr.ule any coin
plajnl of those parents because, the
pubjiq schools are, open for all. I
appeal, not to a law or, lawyer but
iqijliigh. sense of, justice and to a
delicate, feehng of equity towards
tlie poor 'Since, those independent
solipola. do the same work as. the
public epbpohi. and f urnish. besides a
.main branch of a good education,
why .should they not have, along
wjti, tUis liberty, encouragement
, and material assistance out of the
public means? By natural and
cKvJne law, parents have the first
,duty and consequently tlto first right
to provide for the education of their
children ; the state comes in after
tho parents, to Ijelp those, thaj, are
.winng.nd to compel, tho negligent
parents for the general benefit of the
people. This is Ue practical view of
all parents in behalf of their own
children, notwithstanding an oppo
site llicory for tho. multitude,,
The objections taken from past
and contcjuppniry history are so
complicated and open to sp many
. interpretations and distinctions, es
pecially in countries where church
and state arc united, that largo
volumes would not bring ua out of
thu labyrinth. For that, reason I do
not attempt to answer the questions
proposed by P, Layman; He can
Und the authentic dpelrine of the
Catholic church in tho recent Ency
clical letter of Pope Leo XIII "I)e
Llbertiite liumana." As to the
abuses uy governments or by local
church authorities (officers) tho
church is not responsible for them
and tho Cafholics of these islands
.ought not. to be made responsible
or the, real or suppose sins of qthcr
countries. Let us stand our, own
merits here. I liavo no, authentic,
statistics on hand, but there is- no
doubt that a protcstant minority, (in
proportion, to our Catholic mVnerjty)
among a Catholic raajqrity would. not
so tamely, submltjto tlie almost ex?
elusive, ruling'o'f, the majority as the
Catholics do here.
Filially, be it sajd to. the cqnsola-.
tion,of P. Layman, tiat the Cjatho!
lic clergy and laity in this Kingdom
justly appreciate the unlimited
liberty or conscience superior not
onby to many countries in which
Protestantism prevails but even to
the. liberty enjoyed in some Catho
lic countries. In reference to tho
Board of Education, composed of
four gentlemen whose. personal views
and sympathies are not supposed to
be iu favor of the, Catholic religion",
I freely and .gratefully acknowledge
that they have shown iii their official
capacity, a general, tendency of fajr
dealing far above ai narrow, minded'
party spirit. When I expose cer
tain complaints of our Catholic,
population, it. is not in the way of
incrimination, but as anj appeal to
their high sense of justice, that they
may take the matter into consider
ation and act fairly according to
circumstanoes.

SUNDArAND7BASEBALL.
EniTOit Bulletin: Over one
thousand names were signed to a
petition requesting Mr. A. G.
Spalding to play a game of base
ball on Sunday afternoon. These
men are loudly condemned for be
ing ready and willing to break one
of the worst breaks that the little
ness of human mind has had' tho
greatness to make. This life-loving,
healthy crowd of men wero said to
be Sabbath law-breakers. I deny
itl Let us at least be truthful in the
matter and call things by their right
names. These enjoying men .sim
ply wanted to' see it broke. They
wanted to look upon, tho breaking of
this fossil's back by somebody else.
The petitioned, players refused and
there is an end to it..
Besides, the signers of this de
claration of personal liberty had this
distinction about their persons in
which they differ from many of
these fault-finders, they each and
severally had their conscience, and
having it, knew whether they' could
answer for the terriblo sin of look
ing, upon a game of healthy athletic
exercise or not. And I think that
this is a very appropriate time to
have the names, of, the framers of
our new Constitution brought out
right now into the, daylight so: as the
writer of this with the rest of the
one thousand sinners, may have the
opportunity to, ask, of these hiding
gentlemen what "tho inalienable
.rights of men" may mean. Noneof
us object to the Sabbath. It is a
good, day made for, man, by. man
,nnd ought to be enjoyed by man.
iiut let each of us enjoy our Sab
bath as we cliooso. L like a Sunday
that gives, not takes, away my plea
sure. "Tho Sabbath giveth, and the
Sabbath taketh, bub blessed only is.
me, isaDtmtu mat. givetu." And
anyway, who are1 these men who. so
arrogantly poke fault and. sin at
othcrB? Is not everyone ,of U8braenkr;,
ing. the law of a Sunday? I do not
mean to be understood to say that
you are breaking it by going to
church ; not , at all, it is when you
take a comfortable carriage and ride
there. Will you have the magnani
mous inquisitiveness to search in
your thinker for the difference be
tween breaking the law in riding to
church and looking upon a game of
baseball? And after this, it strikes
me that wo all ought to unite and
crack this narrow-brained fad into
a million fragments, grind it fine be
neath our heels, cast the dust to the
trado winds, that they may finish
this work of brotherly love and cany
bigotry back where It sprang from.

FORT STREET IN LOS AHCELES.
Editoh Bulletin: Learning
from your interesting paper that
there is a Fort street in Honolulu,
perhaps a short description of a
street of tho same name in Los
Angeles may bo acceptable to your
rcader6. Tho north-eastern end of
Fort street in this city commences
on a high hillside, where fortifica
tion formerly stood, when tho town
was under Spanish and Mexican
rule. At this period many years
ago Los Angeles was tho capitul of
California.
Standing upon tho bluff, (which
now rejoices in profound peace, no
trace of the ancient rumparts being
visible), wo have a fine panoramu
of tho quiet little city far below,
and the Sierra Mad re rautro of
' mountains in the distance. On a
clear day we may perhops, catch a
glimpse of tho Pacific Ocean and
Catalina Island. Descending p (ho
pluln we find a cottage in,' fr6nt of
which is a flourishing banana, Isdcn
with flowers and fruits. Ju9t be
yond, we notice the St. Nicholas
Hotel nnd tho new commodious
brick building belonging to tho
Woman's Christian Temperance
Union. At the junction of Fort and
Temple streets wo cross a lino of
cable, railroad. A little further to
ward tho south and west, we come
to the Clifton House ; then several
dwelling houses, with pleasant
yards where palms, cactus and
flowering plants adorn tho lands
cape. The cocoa palm is not culti
vated here, but tho fan palm, date
palm and dragoon palm arc quite
common. At the corner of First
street are the rooms of tho Board of
Trade; and on the opposite side
of Fort street is the publishing
house of tho Times Mirror Co., a
fine stone building. Next comes a
row of real estate offices, where con
sideral business is transacted. Ar
riving at the corner of, Second street
we cross, another cable road. Hero
we find an elegant structure known
as the California Bank Building;
adjoining which is an edifice not yet
completed, which will be occupied
by the Young Men'B Christian As
sociation. A little farther along, on, the
south-eastern side of Fort street,
workmen are placing the roof tim
bers upon the new city hall build
ing; which, when completed, will
bo very handsome. The materials
are freestone, and brick, with1 terra
cotta trimmings, A little way be
yond, we notice a humble Chinese
laundry, and on the opposite side of
the street is tho office of two sue
cessful female physicians. The next
object of interest is a model brick
schoolhouse, where hundreds of
cnuuren receive instruction, pre
sently we come to a beautiful Bquare
in the centre of which is, a largo
building occupied as headquarters
by Gen. Miles, Commander of tho
Department of California and Ari
zona. The ever floating stars a"nd
stripes, and several field piece's, on
tho lawn, sufficiently indicate tho
military character of the enclosure.
Nenrly opposite we find 'the new
central post office, building, which,
lias been occupied but a few weeks.
Several churches, of the leading, der
nominations are located in the "samo
neighborhood. Pepper and! euca
lyptus trees occasionally furnish
grateful shade. The remainder of
Fort street is chiefly reserved for
private residences, including tho
homes of many wealthy and influen
tial' citizens. Fort street, as you,
will naturally imagine,, is oqe of the
favorite thoroughfares of the city.
