NEWS COMMENTS. The neV3 by 'the Mariposa from Europe is In some respects important. The Afghan question is by no means settled, and Russia and England are steadily preparing for war. When this apparently inevitable conflict between these two powers comes, it will be one of the most serious wars of modern times, owing to the vast material forces employed and the principles 01 government involved. There is no disguising the fact that the constitutional and autocratic principles of government are about to join issue upon the central plateau of India, aiid at. every point in Eu-. rope where tU . Ilviaaian. power can be assailed. To this" end Eog-" land has secured control of the Dardanelles, in the event of war, and. encouraged Austria in its Sla vic alliances and the promise of an -outlet to the Gulf of Salonica, Tory Government developed at the Berlin Congress.' Egyptian finance has also been straightened out, the great powers at last accepting the British finance proposals. The Sou dan has been evacuated, Egypt is held with a strong hand, while the Porte is strengthening its defenses in Tripoli as a barrier between Tunis and Egypt. This move heads oil France In North Africa, while Ger many has been placated by an amica ble arrangement for settling the boundaries of its new colonial an nexations. Moreover, points of vast strategic value have been occupied and fortified by Eng land in Corea, thereby command ing the Russian naval stations on the Pacific. Russia, on its side, has not been idle, and we apprehend that when the harvest has been gathered in its various provinces, a forward movement will be made on Afghan istan. The most painful part of the news, however, refers to the social scandals' and degredation taking place in Eng land, Denmark and other continental uuuuiuca. 1UO UlUiUI W Ui IU HUM uo- come thoroughly aroused, and the licentiousness of wealth and rank, which has honeycombed European society, is likely In the end to create a social revolution mat win oe iar reaching and leveling In its results. - It is quite clear that the" exposures so far made are only a beginning. The end is not yet. The Pall Mall Ga zette's'' commission fouud its general charges, proven, but declined to go into details. The personal fight is now thrown upon that paper, and a . a despite me ranK, weaitn ana lunu ence arrayed against it, we have no doubt of its ultimate victory. The. Social Democrats and Revolu tionists have had a most destructive weapon placed in their hands by these scandalous and nhopkiricv io. velopments in the upper ranks of society, which monopolize political and social position, and, while pro fessing to legislate for and protect public morals, have really been en- .fiageu in a terrible conspiracy to 'destroy, virtue and perpetuate vice Kad crime. So complete is this dia bolical system that the officers of justice the police force of London, and doubtless also of every large city and town in flie United Kingdom tire ministers to their licentiousness An cud must come to this, or the fabric of society will go down In Irremediable ruin. !fsnnl rill 1 1 i . - . n g titers repel vr ffom the police all over the United States baa become a national scandal. No "slogging match" takes place without police protection and super vision. An a flair at the Mecnanics' Pavilion, San Francisco, on July 21st, at which 2.C00 paying spectators participated, will probably put a stop to such disgraceful exhibitions, at least for some time to come. A "glove contest' 1 between two pugil ists, Cleary and Carr, was to come off, and as a general row was antici pated, two Captains and a large body of police attended and formed a hol low square around the ring. The police freely clubbed the crowd, who attempted to rush Into the ring and prevent Carr from being whipped. The riot was disgraceful to -the civic authorities who allow such exhibi tions. Public opinion will now probably compel the police to sup press instead of encourage pugilism. Should any attempt be made to in troduce "slogging" into this city, we trust the authorities will promptly take steps to prevent such a demoral izing performance. . The Wreek of the Pokoiltl. Kn. P. C. Advertiser Sir: Knowing that some strange accounts Iiave been sent to Honolulu in regard to the four men who were saved from the schooner Pohoiki, it appears to me to be advisable to send a few facts to you. I just heard of them on the morning of the 29th of July. Having been, told that they were in a very mutilated condition, I took all things necessary to perform amputations. I found it was not necessary to perform any operations, me men naa naa a little food, but were in a dazed and ex hausted condition. The wounds were dressed and the men put to sleep. They had tried to sleep, but could not. Food was ordered for them, and H. N. Green- well, Esq., very kindly had some pre pared and sent down to them; J. D Paris, Esq., purchased clothes and sent them down just as soon as he could, so that they were well .provided .for. On the 31st a policeman came and had a look at the men. On August 1st he came again and brought some clothes. He had the men removed to a place where they could be more readily reached. The men had an idea that they knew best how their wounds should le treated, and so the one who had re ceived the greatest amount of injury took off the things first provided. They have had the best of care under the cir cumstances. On August 6th a policeman came and said he had orders to take the men to Hookena, a place that would take at least three hours for them to reach, and that over a hot, rough and bad road V ..1 W cause it would not be good for them in any way. The men felt very much hurt to think that it had been said that thev had thrown over their Captain while alive. v hen you receive this the men will be in Honolulu, and can be seen, and their story of the shipwreck can be gathered from them. Yours, Brooks O. Baker. . Kealakekua, Kona, Hawaii, August 7, 1885. Memorial Services to General Urant.

Shortly after noon yesterday, a steamer was telephoned coming up from the south. It proved to be the German steamer Raiatea, twelve days from Papeete, Tahiti, en route for San Fran cisco. She came inside to have slight repairs; made to her steering apparatus, and obtain provisions. The vessel is about the; same size as the Kinau, and is commanded by Captain T. Viereck. She is almost new and was built at Ham burg. . Her freight consisted of oranges and cocoanuts, and she had nine cabin passengers in transit. Among them were Mr. H. F. Jorss, Scandinavian Consul at Tahiti, Mr. D. L. Atwater, American Consul ; Mr. A. Goupel, ! Chilian Consul ; and Captain V. Baderell, of the French infantry.

THE 3IITXSTER BANK. The Defaulting? Manager Believed to Hare Escaped. New York, July 31. A "Herald" Dublin special say's of Farquharson, the absoonding manager of the Munster Bank : It is believed he . crossed to Scotland, made direct to Leith, thence sailed for Hamburg or Rotterdam. Very little hope of catching him is . now expressed. Hi3 speculations prove to have been very heavy, his losses amounting to as much as G,000 in one day. It appears tnat his operations extended over several years. It turns out that he lived very extravagantly and. was in the habit of going on sprees for two or three weeks at a time, during which he squandered large sums of money. . . The excitement here is great and not! ting else is talked about. Dcblix. Jul v 31 st. The police have suc ceeded in discovering some valuable se curities at the lodgings of Rolert Far- tauharson, the absconding joint manager of the Dublin branch of the Munster Bank. " The Munster Bank shareholders have approved the plan of petitioning the Court of Chancery to appoint a provis ional liquidator of the bank's affairs, pending the organization of a new bank, with a capital of $3,750,000, of which $1,500,000 shall lie called. Cork, Julv 31st-. The Directors of the Munster Bank charge Farquharson with causing the suspension of the bank in order to obtain the appointment of liquidator, so as to cover up his defalca tions. Postal Telegraphy in England. London. Julv 31st. The House of Commons last night rejected, by a vote of 108 to G2, the Postmaster General's amendment to the nix-penny telegraph bill. The bill of the late Postmaster General, Mr. Lefevre, making the cost of a twelve-word telegram, including the address, six pence, was passed in the committee. An Alleged Spy. St. Petersburg, July 31st. A German reserve officer has been arrested by the Russian authorities of Jacobstadt, on the Baltic, as a spy. On his person have been found letters addressed to his wife containing descriptions and plans of the Russian forts and fortifications. The Cholera Epidemic. Madrid, July 31st.

IN MEM0RIAM- THE DEAD WARRIOR. Muffle the dram, let the musket point downward; Twine crape in your banners, the soituer lies low: His hand shall no more draw the sword from its scabbard, His wan lips no more cheer his men on the foe. Ah! what a harvest that great soul Is reaping Trie rrandet thft rarest a soldier e er won For behold, a whole nation lies prostrate and weeping At the bier of Its savior, Its warrior son. What shall we say of him? How tell his story? How chant the praises of him who Is gone? Who shall be worthj sing of his glory ? Who blazon the deeds that our soldier has done? Ye who have marched with him, camped with him. fought with him, On plain, and on mountain-side, swamp and redoubt, Te who have thrilled at the voice of the leader, Comrades of Grant, 'tis the time to speak out. Tell of the soul that knew no hesitation, The warrior born, a stronger to fear, The sun in the gloom of the land's desolation, That banished the storm, and brought her sous cheer. Who now dare murmur a word of disfavor ? Who breathe a slander to tarnish his fame? Who grudge a tear to the country's savior? Who not bend low at the sound of his name? Soldiers of Grant who went down iu the buUh', Whose bones have long moldered in South and in North, Come from your graves, 'tis no musketry's rattle That bids you, dead heroes, arise and stand forth. Come in your shadovyawful battalions, For the hand of the leader is waiting for you. You who met death when he bade you, and flinched not, The valor he trusted, the brave henr.'s he knew. 'Mid the muffled drum's boat, and the wait of the bugle. And the swell of the organ in mournful song, Comes Uf mnrmup of these, the Republic's dead soldiers. Whose legions outnumber the sable-clad throng, And sentries unseen by his grave will pace slowly Side by side with the living who honor that rest; Let us go, for the slumber of heroes is holy, They who died at ids bidding have loved him the best.
