Ducking JJuslncss. cm 1 v "JC 11 S& jjuilti guifut Pledged to neither Sect nor Party, But established for the benefit of all. THURSDAY, SEPT. 1, 1888. THE PASS SYSTEM RENEWED. At one time, not very long ngo, persons desirous of boarding tho Oceanic Steamship Company's steamers iimncilinlcl' on their ar rival, nd before passengers had landed, were required to procure passes from the Joeal agents bcfoic liand, and those nhouotild not show a pass were debarred from going on board until the passengers, or the "bulk of them, hud come ashore. This regulation was beneficial to the people on the steamers, and pre vented crowding and hustling on the gangways ; but the shore people did not approve of it, and express ed their disapprobation by many savage growls. This, or some other cause, led to the abandonment of the pass system, since which the rushing of crowds of people up the gangways at the first opportunity, delaying and inconveniencing the landing of passengers, has become a nuisance. Tho agents, Messrs. V. G. Irwin & Co., have determined to return to the pass system, and allow none but the bearers of passes to board until the passengers have landed. We are glad of it. Every body will be benefited by the ar rangement, whether they like it or not. Three-fourths of tho people who rush from the wharf to the deck of the steamer as soon as she touches, have no business there whatever, other than curiosity. Then, why should they be permitted to intrude themselves where they throng the passageways and become an annoyance and a nuisance. Thoe who have fiiends aboard vhom they are anxious to meet, or any other important business, will have no difllculty in procuring a pass from the Agents. REFLECTIONS ON TKE BRIBERY CASE. Charges of bribery against mem bers of the Legislature and their ex pulsion from the House on the ground of the charges having been proven are novel events in Hawaiian history ; and therefore events which naturally produce extraordinary in terest and more than usual excite ment, when they occur. On Tues day last, after a patient investiga tion by a committee of the House, four of its members were found guilty of having accepted payment for their votes against a proposed amendment to the Constitution, re lating to the Chinese who might be in the country at the time of its pas sage or who might thereafter arrive, and three of the members were igno miniously expelled for the offence and the other was severely censured, but allowed to retain his seat. So far as we can learn, this is tho first instance of the Hawaiian Legis lature expelling a momber for any similar offence. Certainly during the reign of the present Sovereign or that of his predecessor this is the first occurrence of tho kind. Prom this fact the inference must not bo drawn that our legislators have al ways been of such a high character that, tbey were above the influence of bribtry ; for, as a matter of fact, there is good ground for believing that there have been times in the past when bribes were freely offered and fearlessly accepted. The prac tice existed, but it was winked at. For some reason, perhaps a lack of inclination, the investigation and punishment were not attempted. The prevailing sentiment of the IIouso was "in accord" with the idea, Tho present Legislature must in justice be credited with having risen above its immediate predeces sors in this regard, and tho fact that it had the moral strength to prefer and invest Igalu the charge and to inflict severe pi.jiishment on the offenders will stand as a lusting jnomiinent to its glory. It should not bo supposed from tho foregoing that the final result is entirely satisfactory to all, or that the action of the House and tl.oae members who were mainly instru mental in securing conviction is above criticism. The opinion ex pressed by some members of the House and many people out of the House, that the four guilty ones should have been treated alike, is one which wo heartily enuoise. e go farther, and say that Mr. Ka wainui and Mr. Knlaiikoa are highly censurable for the part which they, according to their own testimony, played in the matter. "When they knew that bribery was contemplated, why did they not use their best en deavors to pievent it, instead of ex erting themselves to bring it about? This would have been a manly and honorable course ; the one pursued was mean and despicable in the su perlative degree. These men might have saved their weak countrymen from the disgrace which has over taken them. As for Mr. Kalaukoa, wc consider that ho merited expul sion from the Legislature along with the three. This conclusion is reach ed from a study of his own publish ed testimony. It will be hard to convince any reasoning reader of his printed statement, that lie was not as deep in the mud as the others. A blot rests upon his name in , the estimation of honest and honorable men, which no explana tion can remove. AN INTOLERABLE NUISANCE. Euitok Bulletin: A law is in force in Berlin, which, could it be enforced here would be gladly hail ed as a welcome relief from the in sane thumpings of those who think themselves pianists. A stranger walking along Hotel street could imagine himself near a boiler fac tory, or a large tin shop, while list ening to the insane thumping and banging on borrowed pianos by half crazed or half drunken men, who canuot play a single piece correctly but have a half hundred marches, etc., picked up at low concert halls, with which they outrage the refined tastes of their neighbors and make night hideous by their hammerings. Why do not such people shut their doors and windows, if they play (?) for their own amusement and not disturb the town? PRO BONO PUBLICO. Editor Ui-llutin : The argu ments advanced by the honorable I the members of our Legislature against passage of the constitutional amendment, which leccntly died co ignonnniously, have elicited many disparaging comments, and from the unanimity with which these rea sonings are condemned by people of Honolulu it is fair to presume that the foresight and wisdom which this measure demanded was prominently absent, pronouncing the conduct of these men wrong. The Chinese question was not a very prominent issue at the time of the last general election, yet almost every member elected from Hono lulu promised at one time or another to advocate Chinese restriction. One member was actually elected upon that issue alone. lie has voted against it, because, as he says, it was contrary to his principles. I actually blush at this while writing This gentleman lacks the ability to distinguish his very delicate posi tion. The painful sensation caused by a despicable act, which the majoiiu of men call shame, this honorabh' Legislature knows nothing of. Will he with some of his conlrcres, at least, display the magnanimity to allow the party which they have bold to be ashamed for them? It would be puzzling indeed to know what excuses these men could give, what arguments they would use if they were ordered b' an en raged public to give an accounting of their conduct. Whether they be rich in possessions, whether a prefix of "honorable" attaches to their never-to-be-forgotten names does not matter. It cannot save them from the opprobium of having vio lated the wishes of tho men who placed them there, not as arrogant and self-assuming persons, but as "the servants" of tho people. The sooner our Legislature, our Cabinet and every Government ofllclal un derstands this the better it will be for the country. . Is it possible that any member of this present House is not awaro that an overwhelming majority of tho voters are for Chinese restriction and control? If there be such, it would be well for those to have ac quainted themselves with this truth some time ago. And if they do know it, I lor ono deny them tho right to decide this fgravb question for tho people. These men forgot that they were not passing a law which was permanent. They (.im ply went through the preliminaries to submit this enactment to tho peo ple of Hawaii, and to the people be longs tho supieme right to say what shall or shall not bo in their Consti tution, This right lias been tram pled upon by some ol tho membeis elected from Honolulu. Thoy have thus erased their names fioin tho roll of honor. They have lost caste, and are breathing the poisoned air of a people's vrrath, which has poll ticdly killed them. I have no excuses to make for these men. My supreme happiness is in Hie sntHfnelion that the uut r.tged feelings of the "Liberal He form Parly" (not the "He form Party" ), will be, nt least in a mc.i suto, ieonged by purging it of such men. There is only one comment to be offered on the "total proceedings of t:iw Legislature: Personalities have strangled the new-born babe of pa triotism. "Pro bono publico" lias been drowned in the slimy sea of personal spile and interest. And lo crown nil, the traitorous felony of biibeiy is said to have iilled dis honest, hands among the custodians of a people's confidence, among the gunuliuus of the Paradise of the Pa cific. Disgust has given way to horror; contempt is turned into ac tual hatred, and calls for justice are heaid on all sides. The people's feelings have been trilled with to the utmost. Tho string of patience ia about to burst. Johk P. Smith. NOTES ABOUT KOLOA, KAUAI. Sit angers or occasional visitors lo Koloa cannot help expressing tin ir surprise and admiiation at tho manifold improvements, that are constantly looming up at this town. The very cosmopolitan population skeins to liightcn somewhat the elfect. There arc, for example, a German town, JJew Portugal, New Madeira, a Japanese village, and the never failing Chinatown, with its peculiar odor of opium and filth, where also at almost all times of day and night can be heard tho ear piercing noise of Chinese music. Koloa seems to be the Celestials' Paradise, for the use and sale of opium and sham-shoo, and oppor tunities for gambling seem to hold lull sway here. No one arriving at Koloa, can have the benefit of full observation, unless they land at Koloa landing, or at least make a visit to that point. The landing is the most southerly one on Kauai. The sea here is at all times as smooth as a looking glass, while there is hardly any surf on the beach. The Koloa plantation has made, at an enormous cost to itself, some splendid improvements at tho land ing. It has built a new and sub stantial wharf for the landing of passengers and freight. A large i lei rick is placed on the wharf to facilitate the handling of heavy machinery and boxes. A new road and improvements to the old one have been made at heavy expense. ' Two large warehouses arc built at the landing, one of these about GO x 2-1, the other about .'JO x 24 feet. The larger ono is raised about 10 feet above the ground, leaving a large space under the house for storage ol goods. Some immense cargoes, considering the size of Koloa, are handled at this wh.irl. Koloa landing, as at pre sent, is generally acknowledged to he the best landing, next to Hono lulu, on the islands. About 50,000 bags of sugar have been shipped ii out this place already this season, while grinding is hardly expected to cense before -1 to G weeks hence. A splendidly equipped wagonette, draw u by a pair of strong and gen tle horses in charge of an experi enced diivcr, is in waiting at tho landing on steamer days, to take passengers to Koloa, distant about two miles. The reasonable amount o. CO cents is charged for such ac commodation. The drive on the road, which is in excellent condition, is a highly enjoyable one. Fields of sugar cane or taro patches, or home nice residences surrounded by shade trees and gardens greet the eye. The first public building met is the Court House and jail, a frame structure. Close by is the guber natorial mansion of Her Excellency Lanihau, Governess of Kauai. East from this place, and about half a mile distant, is the lioinan Catholic Church and school. The church is built of stone, and is in charge of Hcv. Father Libert. The school teacher is Mr. Mica. This very pleasant gentleman is also Tax Asscs&or. Some 40 pupils visit this school. Hcturning to tho road again, wc meet the buildings used as a Gov ernment school, which are surround ed by a large and exceedingly well kept recreation giouud, whero the children can run about and play during recess. The number of pu pils attending this school is above 100. Mr. J. F. Burkett is principal of tho school, while Mr. Neal is as sistant for the primary classes. A little further on is the Protest ant Church, which i,8 built of stone. Services aro held here in English and Hawaiian ; English under tho charge of Rev. Goodell, Hawaiian under Hev. Mnhoe, The Sunday School is well attended. Niaily opposite the church is the magnifi cent tesidence of Br. .7. K. Smith, surrounded by well kept gardens. Close by Is the Koloa Hospital, con tinuing, I believe, about 8 beds. Koloa music hall is also in this vicinity, where tho band, under the leadership of Mr. Field, is discours ing music almost nightly. This band, which has at present only Y2 members, bus been lately organized. Next wo come to tho Koloa Suirar Mill, which hns a capacity of 20 to 25 tons per day. At some other luno I will apply for tho privilege to inspect this mill, when I will w lite a more detailed account con cerning it. About 200 y nula from here is the now Post Olllce, a fituno building 12 k Ji foot. Thla offleo has 70 letter hoses, such ns are used in Honolulu. There Is a delivery win dow, bc-l les nnother window, at which a wire ini-k holding all. un called for letters is exposed for pub lic inspection. Tho olllce itself is neatly fitted up in ollleo style, con taining a safe, maps and chat ts, two tables for assorting letters and news papeis. Some 00 or GOO letters are received at and forwauled fioin this olllce every week. Olllce hours are from 8 a. m. to 5 p. in. Service is prompt and very cotirtoous. Mr. E. Stretz, n genial and whole-souled Gorman, is the Postmaster here, be sides holding the olllce of Collector of Customs. I am inclined to con cur in his opinion that the Kolca Post Olllce is tho best organized olllce in the country, next to the one in Honolulu. Bvu-anu-Bve. Koloa, Sept. 8, 1888. INCENDIARY RATS. The following extract from n Bos ton paper contains useful informa tion and conveys a hint not to have matches where rats can rcaeli them. Attention to a little matter of this nature might prevent the kindling of a great blaze: Fire-Marshal Whitcomb of Boston has been recently experimenting with rats and matches shut up to gether in a cage, in order to ascer tain whether they were likely to cause fires or not. In the absence of other known cause, frequent fires have been ascribed to their agency, while at tho same time many under wi iters affected to scoff at the idea. The question may however now be considered as settled. On the very first night that Marshal Whitcomb' s rats were left alone with the matches four fires were caused, and not a day passed while the experi ment was being tried that fires were not started in this way. The rats were well fed, but they seemed to find something in the phosphorus which they liked. It was noticed that only the phosphorus ends were gnawed, and in most instances the matches were dragged away from the spot where they had been laid. Auction Sales by Leftis J. Levey.
