EST MODUS IN REBUS.
TUESDAY.
JANUARY 1, 1889.
WHERE IS. HENRY M. STANLEY ?
News from the heroic explorer is still
waited for. Now that his lot is so closely
linked with that of the brave and
faithful Emin Pasha, Germany and England,
as well as America, wait for intelligence
with an anxious interest, unequalled
since Gordon's fate hung on
belated expedition to Khartoum.
Stanley left Yambuya, his last camp on
the Congo navigation, on the 28th of
June, 1S87. He had to traverse an unknown
region to Wadelai on lake Albert
Nyanza. This was five hundred miles
distant in a straight line. The last word
from him was dated Jnly 19th, three
weeks later. For seventeen months the
outer world has had no word from him.
But neither las any intelligence come
from Emin since November 2d; 1887.
The depths of the Dark Continent are
not given to transmitting intelligence.
Sir Samuel Baker was not heard from
for twenty-nine months, and he had
four steamers with him on the Nile
branches.
Two uncertain reports had transpired,
however. The latest and most definite
was by Arab traders who are said to
have encountered Stanley's rearguard
in November, 1887, some two hundred
and twenty miles west of Wadelai. He
"was said to have two hundred and fifty
men remaining out of the four hundred
with which he, started from Yambuya,
and to be confident of getting through
in a short time. The other report came
by way of Khartoum on the Nile. A
" White Pasha " was known by general
report throughout the NJle basin, to be
fighting his way down the Bahr-el-Gazal.
Nearly all the best authorities agree in
the belief that such a report could arise
from nothing else than the progress of
Stanley's powerful force through the interior.
The name "White Pasha" would
the more naturally be given to the commander
of fifty white men.
In the December number of the North
American- Review, is a symposium of
four articles upon Stanley's whereabouts,
written by Lord Wolseley and three
other specialists upon African matters.
They show a remarkable coincidence of
opinion. Thoy all agree that Stanley is
the "White Pasha"; all think that he
probably joined hands with Emin early
in the present year, and all consider his
return and communications to be
impeded. He must lack force and
means for returning over the" difficult
Congo route. The Dervish power on the
Nile route must be too formidable for
anyattack in which Emin and Stanley
can unite. The remaining route to the
Eastern coast has for a year been
blocked by hostile tribes, and lately the
whole interior of that coast has broken
into violent hostilities in consequence of
German aggression.
There appears therefore to be cause for
almost as much anxiety as to how Stanley
is to emerge from the interior, as
even to -learn how ho fared in reaching
Emin. The latter, resolute chief of the
Soudan that he is, repels all thought of
forsaking his post. Stanley is rich in
experience and resource. Unless his
rare skill and courage now fail to bring
. his wonted good fortune, we shall in due
time hail his reappearance with a fresh
chapter of great adventures hardly surpassed
by his immortal transit down the
Congo.
Since the above was written, the Ma
riposa brings an apparently reliable report
that Emiu has been defeated and
made captive by the Mahdi, and with
him a traveler who is probably Stanley.
The latter would, of course, have stood
by Emin, and have shared his fate. The
calamitous condition of those two heroes,
appeals loudly to the Christian nations
for succor. What can be done for them,
and what will be done, are questions for
whose answer we must anxiously wait.
-
HOME RULE HERE AND ELSEWHERE.
Home rule has of late years been a
familiar term to all readers of tbe public
prints wherever the English language is
known. The "home rule" movement
inaugurated by Mr. Gladstone and others
has made the politics of the British
Islands almost revolutionary. With the
merits of the question we have nothing
now to do. The big heads of the empire
on which the sun never sets will doubtless
arrive at a satisfactory solution of
the problem in the course of time. The
question is interesting to us only in so
far as it shows some of the results of free
popular discussion. "Whatever comes
out of the movement, good or bad, must
be credited to the full and exhaustive
and often acrimonious discussion to
which its every detail has been subjected.
Another feature of the contest, worth
noting, is the terrible ordeal of vituperation
and abuse to which the leaders on
both sides have had to submit. Public
men have certainly been handled with
more merciless abuse than thev have
experienced in the discussion of any
other public question for many years. It
is really matter of wonder that English
statesmen, honored and admired by the
people heretofore,, have not become disgusted
with the wranglings of the political
arena and left home rule and every
other kind of rule to adjust themselves
as best- they can. The epidermis of an
English parliamentarian is evidently
composed of very tough fibre. The compensation
of members of Parliament in
England is nil as regards the dross after
which other men are usually in eager
pursuit. They are supposed to take their
pay xut in honor, a currency in which
the dear public often rewards them after
a curious fashion.
Public life in Great Britain is not a
bed ot roses. Nor does it seem to be a
place of very sweet repose in the Hawaiian
Islands. We, too, have had our
home rule agitation. Man for 'man it
has been to us a struggle as intensely interesting
as it is to the subjects of the sea
girt realm of the other hemisphere. We
are smaller in dimensions and numbers
than they, but we think great thoughts.
Our home rule was keenly debated in
the legislature and'out of it years before
the "grand old man" of English politics
launched his scheme. The question
with us is settled. We have secured, at
least on paper, what we proposed to ourselves
as a panacea for all our political
ills a free, independent and representative
legislative body and a Ministry responsible
to the representatives of the
people, and not to the King. As in
England, our public men have been and
are still subjected to the fiery ordeal of
merciless criticism and reckless abuse.
If certain well known aspirants have
their way a terrible fate awaits our
Nobles and Representatives in 1890.
Whether they are to be beheaded, flayed
alive or denuded and consigned to the
mosquitos does not seem to have been
definitely settled as 3'et. It is to be
hopeU that the gentlemen in charge of
the arrangements will give their victims
some intimation of the fate in store for
them. This is a privilege not denied
even the criminal when he is turned
over to the executioner. If there is to be
a slaughter, it would be no more than
the impulses of humanity call for, that
our public men be apprised of the particular
form of immolation by which their
career shall come to a close. But these
worthies whose dreams are full of
scalps hanging about their wigwams
in 1890 may wake up and find themselves
famous but disappointed on discovering
that electoral axes are sometimes forged
to cut both ways.
THAT ROAD UP PUNCHBOWL.
A good many of our citizens are disposed
to regard any expenditure for the
improvement of Punchbowl as an extravagance.
We regret to see that our
evening contemporary seems to join in
this view. We should like to unite with
him in what seems to us a measure of
enlightened public spirit, and to push for
an early expenditure of the $S,000 appropriated
by the Legislature for a driveway
to the summit. We know of no city
so peculiarly favored as Honolulu in the
possession of an elevated tract of some
three hundred acres right in its center,
which is impossible to utilize for business
or lor resiliences. iNature Jias consecrated
Punchbowl hill inviolably, to im
provement and adornment as a park for
the recreation and lefreshment of the
growing population whose streets and
dwellings are clustering far around its
base. The groves already climbing its
rugged buttresses foretell the forest
wealth which is to adorn the network of.
paths yet to be cut over the whole of the
now naked rock slopes.
What both literally and metaphorically
lifts this high above all other city
parks, is the elevation of a large part of
its area from four to five hundred feet
above the city. People are so used to
seeing this wonderful hill in their midst
that they entirely overlook its capabilities.
No doubt a good many of our citizens
regard Punchbowl as a deformity
and a nuisance. They seem to think
that Nature committed a very troublesome
blunder some thousands of years
ago in ejecting such an unsightly pile of
brown cinders to render useless so large
a share of the valuable plains of Honolulu,
otherwise worth half a million, more
or less, for town lots. But this great elevation
of this area which forbids most of
us to frequent it as we would delight to
do, is also its chiefest attraction. One
there gets quite above this lower sphere
of strife and care. The atmosphere is a
new one, fresh, invigorating. The world
lies glorious at one's feet nay a veritable
new world of plain, glen, mountain,
green meau, blue ocean, bay and silver
strand a wide panorama of beauty and
magniticence, stretching into the dim
distance. By the ascent of Punchbowl,
one gains in a large measure that precious
boon of change of scene and clim
ate, which is the best medicine for worn
bodies and tired nerves. It certainly is
a gr?at thing that the possibility of making
so radical a change of air and scene
and one so invigorating, can easily be
put within the reach of the people of
Honolulu in a few minutes' drive. It is
now, to most persons, practically inaccessible.
Only those who least need it
are likely to face the rugged climb of five
hundred feet. The weary and feeble
who would be most benefited by the
cnange are ueoarrea. lo such especially,
the drive to that grand outlook will
be an inestimable benefit.
As a matter of financial economy, we
hold that the proper and efficient improvement
of Punchbowl should take rank
above that of any other park or similar
public improvement for the comfort of
the city. Such improvements add verv
largely to the value of real estate in their
vicinity. Good administration of the
public finances demands a reasonable
expenditure for such purposes, as well as
lor those of mere utilitv so-called.
