It is a shame that the scanty for ests we have should lie depleted so often by lires, which must be the le sult of cither carelessness or mali cious mischief. There should be a standing reward for information that would secure the conviction of any person starting fires in the forests. The motive given by a European newsmonger for the campaign of France against Dahomey is certainly not a lofty one. Yet if France ex tinguishes forever the power of the despotic monarch of Dahomey to slaughter his innocent and inoffensive subjects by the thousand, the mean motive of ''buried bullion" will soon be forgotten and tho depredators be lauded as benefactors' of humanity. A striking incident in the rapid settlement of the "wild and wooly west" is the mad rush for town lots and homesteads on the openine of the Cheyenne and Arapahoe reserva tion described in our news columns. It would appear that all regulations pioviding for the rule of "first come first served" on regular application are futile, leaving the race for the swift and the battle for the strong. Perhaps none but the swift and the stiong should enter such a fierce struggle. It will not be long, how ever, till the disorder will be over, and the day of the unscrupulous speculator be ended, both to be. suc ceeded by communities of industrious cullivalois and tradesmen, adding valuable material to the building up of the great American Common weal th. A PARADISE FOR PRINTERS. This day, Hay, 12 is appointed for the dedication of the Childs Drexel Home for Union Printers, at Colorado Springs, Colorado. The members of Honolulu Typographical Union have lecejved an invitation to he present. The invitation is on a page of an aitistic pamphlet, which contains pictures of the Home and of Messrs. Child and Drexcl, its found ers, also the order of dedicatory ex ercises, list of olllcers and ini tubers of the International Typographical Union, committees on the ceremony, etc. The building is of handsome architecture, with towers and pinna cles, having three stories besides basement and attic. George W. Uliilds, proprietor of the Philadelphia Public Ledger, one of the most suc cessful newspapers of the age, is one of the best known and esteemed men in the United States, and an in timate friend not only of the great men of his own country but of many of the distinguished personages of Eu rope. His benevolence is proverbial and his kindly sympathy with working printers has madu his name a house hold word among members of the ci aft. This great benefaction of a home for wonidowu printeis at the famous health resort of Colorado Springs, in the giving of which Mr. Childs divides the honor with his friend Mr. Drexcl, the great banker, Is only one of m.iny practical exhibi tions of the great journalist's bene volence, but it Is among the noblest of all his kindnesses to the woikers in the art preservative of all arts, A few items from the pago of "Notes" hi the invitation pamphlet may be interesting to more than printers: "The building is 144 feet by 40, with a wing 20 feet. From the base course to the fiuiala ou the .roof tho distance ii 70 feet. Tho ornament on Ihc summit of tho squnrc tower is 105 feet from tho ground. There arc 63 rooms in the building. One room has space stifll cicnt to accommodate 200 frames, but, for composing to sleep would ac commodate .100 weary compositors. The library will contain a History of Printing, published In London 120 years ago. Pike's Peak in plain view. Toilet and bath rooms on every floor. The Childs' parlor will have a $1000 oil painting. The walls are lavn and red sandstone. A para dise for printers." Blessings on tho men who have so thoughtfully pro vided a home of health for the toilers with the types, is a seutiment that will he echoed not only by printers but by all people of benevolent feel- AN UNWORTHY VIEW. "It Is well understood by fair minded business men that local en terprises are dependeut on the news paper, while the newspaper is, to a certain extent, dependent on local enterprises. When the enterprise ignores the newspaper the newspaper must retaliate in kind." Editoii Bulletin: Most of the publishing houses in Honolulu have very complete job printing departments attached to their otllces. Instead of the busi ness linns having their stationery printed at home, thus affording em ployment to more or less skilled labor, keeping the money in circula tion here, and also helping to pay the heavy expenses incurred in the conduct of a daily issue, it is the rule, rather than the exception, to place their orders abroad. Hardly a single business firm here has its work done at home. Most of it is sent to the Coast and some even to New York. What a howl there would be if the laboring classes should form a co-operative association and buy their groceries, clothing, boots, shoes and other necessities of life in San Francisco! How these same gentlemen who never patronize home industries, unless they are compelled to, would rise up in their wrath and howl against such a proceeding? These same firms, however, are more or less oependent on the workingman for support, and if the money which be might earn and would spend in the country is sent abroad, he will sooner or later have to follow it. Now that the prosperity of the coun try is at a low ebb, it behooves the business portion of the community to think twice before sending any money abroad, particularly for any thing that can be done fully or nearly as well at home. "The laborer is worthy of his hire." A Strandlp Mechanic. WHAT THEY SAY. That the opium trial at Wailuku was a farce. That counsel for the defense ought to be satisfied with getting his men off. That Princess Theresa's capital ie in good hands, and her master of expenditures understands the busi ness. That Captain Jack Lee of the Sonoma says he lost the race to 'Frisco because the Colusa crossed his bows. That "alleged tourists" are getting numerous. That the ''riser's editorials will be diluted from that new filter. That a yacht will be imported from the United States, to make an international race. That some people took Commodore Wilcox's joke about the board on the keel 'of the Scotchman in earnest. That the Scotch yacht will be named the Bcnmore after the gal lant ship that carried her over the seas. AN ACCIDENT. V Coal Curt Itriver Injure lliuinrlf. An accident happened this morn ing at 10:30 o'clock on the city front near the P. M. S. S. dock. A num ber of coal carts belonging to Mr. Peck has been engaged for the past few days in conveying coal from dis charging vessels to the coul pile near the P. M. S. S. wharf. This morn a half-white named Ncki as usual drove his part coal-laden up the pile a distance of some twenty feet. He backed his cart up in order to (lis clninje his freight and in doinc so the horse, being a little fresh., went too far with the result that driver, horse and cart went over the embank ment. The cart rail over Neki's finger, making a deep gash, and in the fall he sprained his leg, and was taken home. The horse escaped with hut few scratches, while tie vehicle was smashed. No blame Is attached to tho driver. The accident is attri buted to the looseness with which the coal was packed. THROWN FROM A CAR. A I'rlt tor JlertN Willi an Uuexpect. Iowirull. A native printer named Kalaau, working on Ka Leo newspaper, was thrown from a traracar this morning. The car was coming down Nuuanu street and was turning into School ssreet, when it ran off the track, ow ing to tho switch not being propeily set. When this occurred Kalaau was in the act of depositing his fare in the box. The jolt caused by the car unexpectedly leaving tho rails threw the unfortunate printer out on the roadside where he lay outstretched in u semi conscious condition, Had he been thrown in frqnt of the car there would have hsen a more serious re sult. Luckily, however, he escaped with but a littlo shaking up.. '" "-" "4 8 7 BUR.'ED BULLION. Trenail re Valued. nt .Million Inrlli-n tlic Krriirh .Vjtnlu' lHhnniis- London, April 18 Tho Globe publishes a letter fio R correspond ent who, the paper sa.yst is cll jn' formed as to the Twitter upon which ho writes, giving an explanation of the preparations -now belug made by France for war upon Daho incy. The letter does not bear out the seml ofllcial statements that Franco has no intention whatever of conducting military operations in the iutei'lor of Dahomey, confining herself bolsly to defending the possessions in the Bight of Benin, Porto Novo and Kotonou. The correspondent says it is be lieved on good grounds that immense treasure, the accumulation of upward of two centuries. Is burled m Att orney, the capital of Dahomey. Al lowing largely for exaggerations, this treasure, the writer declares, is said to be worth a sum equivalent to 500,000,000 francs. It is known the successive kings of Dahomey have buried vast quantities of bullion within the precincts of the palace in a number of large pits, 10 or more of which are said to contain gold and silver to the amount of several mil lions of francs each. Authentic reports of the existence of this treasure reached the French through missionaries and traders, and this readily accounts lor the eagerness displayed by the French to capture Aboiney. The attempt, the conespondent says, has been postponed for various reasons, but now that the French Senate and Chamber of Deputies have voted a credit for the purpose, preparations are to be made in earnest for the inarch on Dahomey. The French Parliament a few days ago voted over 3,000,000 for the pur pose of sending re-enforcements to Porto Novo, and orders Have been issued by the Minister of Marine for the French cruiser at Montevideo to at once proceed to the Gold Coast and join the warship alieady there. Troops are ordered to proceed fiom St. Louis, Senegal, to re-enforce the garrison at Porto Novo, and much activity is displayed in military cir cleo. An air of probability is given the Globe correspondent's statement by the fact that although King Behanzin and his forces, who were said to be threatening the French settlements, had withdrawn northward, there was no cessation of military prcpaialious, and the3r are now being pushed tor ward with all possible speed. It may be the French imagination has been excited by the stories of vast treasures in Dahomey's capital and under pretense of punishing King Behanz.in for his many crimes against civilization, particularly ids slave-hunting raids, France will seize upon it and, at the same time, cut short the career of an absolute des pot, whose murders of helpless vic tims cry aloud for vengeance Dahomey is , a savage kingdom on the west coast of Guinea, known as the Gold Coast, having an area of 14,300 square miles and population of about 200,000, of whom not over 20,000 are free.
