Tho Coming Elections.
One ni'jnth fnm to-tlay. on M r.Iay the 5th of
February, oecura the biennial elections fr Ilepre
H.ritntivea of the J-er le i" the Hawaiian Iirgis
Jative AeM-mbly. Ever tir.ee the abrogation of
tlie .'onctitution of 1852, and the promulgation
of that of 18ti4, a general feeling of apathy has
prevailed aiu.jng the people hs to the fleet ion of
ibt
- t t t, or jnterects of the
1 j j 1
King's advisers? And from this has resulted the
feeling of apathy that has been so perceptible.
What matter- it, the people ask, who we send to
represent us in the Legislature now? The Min-
iHtcr9 are lx)Ulld to Have tleir Own Way, in ST.tte
J L
or us or of any measures our members may pro-
j e . i
pose. And we must confess, when we look ut
tl,c matter souarely, they are not far wrong in
... ,. ,
thcSC Conclusions. At beet, the 111 OS t Consolidated
and determined opposition that can be brought
...
to bear against the Ministry and their adherents
;n tJie oiie-bouse Ief;islature, will result only in
, : .1 .i . c
l prolonging debate and giving the appearance of a
t . t i . f
is deemed
ncccary to create the apearaiuc. It needs no
' )rhet'8 ken to teU which fciJe wiU ,(robabIv
win in all imj-ortant questions.
Thus it was oidy last week that the qualified
electors of Honolulu, whose public spirit should
be most wakeful, bestirred themselves sufficiently
to call a public meeting for the purpose of choos
ing candidates for the Legislature, the election
for which is 10 close at band. The attendance
rjieasurefl, upon which a feeling of interest miirht
have lecn aroused. Another meeting will
Boon be held, at the same place, when it is prob
able that the candidates nominated will be called
upon to 6tatc their views upon the principal
questions that are likely to be brought before
the next session of the Assembly.
The following arc the names of the candidates
for this district, so far :
., Mr. A. Francis Judd, is a well known young
lawyer of this city, who sat for the District of
South Kona, Hawaii, in the session of 1SG8-9.
He makes a good working member and may be
termed a conservative.
Mr. C. J. Lyons baa represented the District
of South Kohala for several successive sessions,
and bas generally been found in the opposition,
4hobh bis independence has been bo marked
that on some questions he has stood alone. -
Mr. J. O. Carter appears for the first time as a
candidate for Legislative honors. In politics he
may be fairly termed a radical, strong in his
convictions, and equally strong and persistent in
bis advocacy of his views. He was prominent in
the debatos on the labor question some two yoais
ago, taking sides against the Ministry, and should
be be elected we may anticipate 6omc lively and
interesting discussions in the Assembly.
Mr. Z. Poli, is the only native candidate on
the ticket, and some surprise. Las been expressed
at this. IJut the three foreigners are all well
known and popular among the natives from
childhood, and in fact, considered in the same
light as their own people. Mr. Poli is an ex
tremely intelligent young Hawaiian, educated at
Lahainaluna, and appears for the first time in
public life.
So far, we have beard of no nominations on
the Ministerial side, in this city, but learn that
a ticket is in course of preparation. It should
I be a 6trorg one and well engineered, to defeat
that of the Icdependeuts.
From the other districts of the islands, but
little note of preparation is beard for the elec
tions. The repeated failure of 44 great expecta
tions' of public improvement, joined with the
canscc we have above alluded to, altogether com
bined have intensified the general apathy. Self
nominated candidates, aud those whose names
are furtively put forward by their personal friends,
arc however, as thick as black-berries. Thus for
Honolulu in addition to the regular ticket above
tjientioned, we hear tha names of VT. C. Jones,
jE. H. IJoyd, W. A. Kiba, E. Kalaauao, J.
fIoanauli, D. Kahanu, J. Kahai, as candidates.
Tfhe following are spoken of as candidates in the

so much as the imputation of meanness. And it
is discouraging to know that this comi
things is on the iucrease. The rising gen

the country with drones, for the producers will ;
soon be all dead. What then? Of course the
result must be destitution and want, and crime, j

Cannot something he done to stay this tide ol
vagrancy that is sweeping over the race? Can
not legislative wisdom be brought to bear upon
the subject ?
It has been computed by some political arith

work for four hours each day on something use-
ful, that labor would produce sufficient to procure !

and the rest of the twenty four hours might be
given to leisure and pleasure. Where however
we see a community in which a large proportion
of the inhabitants are without means, but who I
perform no labor whatever, devoting the whole
of the twenty-four hours to leisure and pleasure,
the political arithmetician can easily compute the
result vice, crime, and extinction.
A t
VeatnCr Reports.
The system 0r reporting the weather in all parts
J o t
of the country to a central 44 Signal Uurcau at
ltry
Washington, has been in operation about a year, j
and has practically proved its utility. The severe j
and remarkable 6torm of November last, which
expended its fury over a large area of the
Western United States, all of the lakes, and
nearly the entire length of the Atlantic coa6t,
elicited comptaratively little public attention,
evidently for the reason that it wns not dis-
tinguished by any extraordinary loss of property
or life. Many storms of less force and extent
i rn l f u f
have fallen unon the American coasts with fur
more, terrible results. The mystery however, if!
mystery it may be styled, finds a ready solution
in the admirable system of 6torm signals, which
on this occasion literally headed the winds and
furnished conspicuous testimony of its utility,
Every section of the country threatened by the
storm was duly warned of its approach, the effect
of which was to keep in port many vessels which
would otherwise have leen involved in its penis,
The storm began far out on the western plaius,
and was of vast north and south extent, present-
, ... T
ing a front of at least two thousand miles. But:
it was discovered and foreseen in Kansas and Ne-
braska, and tlie swift messenger run ahead of its i istic manner, an event the entire glory of cele
mighty march to tell of its fierce coming. It j brating which we are content to resign to him.

of life and property was thus spared, no j ceived by the last mail. Under date of St. Pe
man can say. Tho march of this great storm I tersburg December 9, we are informed that at the
and its complete anticipation at every point j banquet of tlie Knights of St. George, the Czar
sliows how far from mere guess work the predic
tions of the signal service are, and the great
value of the telegraph as an aid to science in
thus developing into a practical fact what had
hitherto been merely a theory concerning the
procession of storms.
The Si 'nal Bureau at Washington is constantly
in possession of all the facts, not only the diree-
tion but the force of the wind, the pressure t
the barometer, the temperature, the relative
humidity of the air and the amount of rainfall,
taken by trained observers with instruments which
work exactly to one standarJ. It can throw all
its stations into circuit, and in a moment as it
were, map the weather of the whole country, by
a system of mapping which is as beautifully
simple as it is practical. Reports taken at all
stations at 11:35 p. m., are telegraphed to Wash
ington, collated, and the deductions made are
furnished the press at Ia. m.

Mr. Gray, of San Francisco, has a bill in pros
pect, to be introduced at an early thiy, enacting
tii.it when any person shall suuVr injury in person
or property or m-ans ot support, in eonsi-qiifnce of
the fiinii.-liintr of intoxicating liquor by any person,
the injured party may have right ol action in his or

The question h is been asked, why this journal

that re-clection to the Presidency is cer- I

fected a reduction of the national debt. It con

elder, who fees in it Divine retaliation for the
persecution to which the Saints of Utah have
been eubiected by the unbelieving Gentiles. He
intimates, also, that unless these persecutions
cease, indignant Providence will kindle even
more disastrous fires among the heathen cities.
