M. TUfeSDAY, SEPtKMBEK i, 1885, rutST wonim. Posterity will inherit oJTr times and will hold us responsible for the history of the present. That fur children may respect our memories, it is fitting we honor our age by dedicating our lives to the sacred majesty of Truth. In ad vancing the intercbts of civilization we necessarily proclaim for justice and right, liberty and morality. In advancing the best interests of Hawaii nei that she may keep pace with the march of nations, the Daily Honolulu Pri:ss will endeavor to express, in an independent and logical manner, liberal views on government, society, and Hawaiian affairs generally. We shall advocate reform in politics and Government and shall always hold our columns open to the interests of public morality. As reform supposes defect we shall endeavor to point out an evil before we demand its cure and suggest a remedy, It will be our constant aim to fairly represent public opinion, and wc shall always give the views of those who differ with us a full and fair statement, but shall insist upon holding their vates responsible for all the logical conclusions of such positions, and we shall expect to be so held responsible . by others. No fact will be suppressed, no argument will be avoided let the results be what they may. Arguments on bovh sides of all public questions will be freely admitted into our columns. We will Have nothing to do with private broils. Personalities will . be excluded except in cases where the personal acts of public, men or private individuals dernnnd censure for the public good. We shall neither uphold nor condemn .a Ministry in power because 'its members belong to this party or Oto that but shall make their official actions objective. We shall, however, reserve the right tar test, at any 'time, the fitness for office of any member or , members of an existing Ministry. Owing to the uncertainty of human affairs it would be impolitic to attempt a specific outline of policy for an inde pendent journal.' Suffice it to say that our course will be'guided at all times toward the establishment and continu ance of good Government, for the up building of social and educational in stitutions, for the establishment and protection of home-industries and the fostering of planters' interests, for the purification of public morals and for the gerieral prosperity and welfare of Hawaii. Those who follow our course, give us their support and sympathy, and aid us with pen or patronage will be able to judge if we deserve a continuence of their friendship as the details of our policy shall be developed. njn'.yawjinin i Pfi i The reports of' the steps taken by the Government in regard to the Pui.i Plantation troubles have been given to the public. It appears that out; of a total of 6 persons, viz ; 50 men, 7 women and 5 children, 44 have bqcn returned to the Immigration Depot, including O'lnen 5 women and 3 children. This leaves a difference of 18 persons who are ac counted for as follows : ' 4 men died at Paia; 1 man died in the hospital here; 7 men" are now in the Honolulu hospital 1 man, 2 women and : children iji the hospital, at Wai luku; and one man returned to Japan At the Japanese Consulate 1 7 deaths have been reported, 14 adult and 3 children. Nine of these adults be longed to Paia and Hamukuapoko plantations. -We will lefer to these troubles and the reports in future. , In the Maishal of the Kingdom doing his faithful duty toward the breaking up of the opium ring, ii he fully sustained therein; or is there not a higher and a stronger ring ham pering him ? ix-i .i, j 1, 1 i 1 1.1 mu 111 Is there any particular reason why the Fire Dcpartment'tompanies throw water underMhe doors and through the fittinga of window sashes, when they practice in our narrow streets. . J vnosvitcTUS. Many maintain that the day of weekly-newspapers is past ill Honolulu; that the people want their- hews and food for thought fresh with their coffee every day; and that the people are willing to pay for what they want. At the very nominal figure established as the subscription price of Honolulu Dailies, fifty cents a month, it must be borne in mind that six or seven hundred, or even a thousand subscribers is but a mere bagatelle toward the expense of conducting a newspaper. Our advertising rates arc not such as would satisfy our Pacific Coast contemporaries, or in fact any but those who labor for the love of it rather than for profit. This paper will not be run for glory, but will conducted on a sound financial basis and value received will be given to its patrons in every case. We believe that the independant elements in the community will appreciate and properly support a daily morning paper that is outspoken und independent in its utterances. The- Daily Honolulu Press will be published every morning, Sunday's excepted, for the proprietors, Messrs. I T. Valentine and Arthur J hnstpne. Mr. Valentine will be the responsible business managcrand Mr.JohnstOne will be the responsible editor of the paper. It will be the aim of the management to make the Honolulu Pkess a newspaper in every sense ol the word. The paper will contain twenty-eight columns including a daily average of from six to eight columns of local news, editorial matter and short pithy articles of general interest to the residents of the Hawaiian Islands. It will be made distinctively a family newspaper, and will endeavor to reach the interests of all classes of citizens without introducing the features of the newspapers of large cities. The editorial department will be conducted in a candid, manly and impartial manner, and while political theories' and public actions will be carefully probed, and, in many cases, severely criticized, the. utterances of the -paper will be jealously guarded and not aU lowed to degenerate into abuse or personal detraction. In thcnain, edi. torial articles will be short and always to the point ; but in cases where the facts warrant .and public opinion demands, fuller expositions of living issues will be given. Ourdocft department will contain everything pf interest to the general readers of the islands and will include local notes from the other islands and general correspondence on local topics. This department will bemade spicy and readable, and will, from time to time be interspersed with humorous local episodes. ' Full reports of all public events and social entertainments will be jivcn and a just equipoise will be established among our various social elements for special news. The shipping department will be made full and coirect ''and special arrangements will be made for weekly corrected lists of foreign shipping. Full shipping notes of our inter-island traffic '.ill be given, and the interests and convenience of shippers will be carefully studied and provided for, Our advertising department will be conducted on liberal business principles in such a manner that the ends of patrons may be reached by placing their wants and desires before a majority of the reading public. Promptness and correctness in this department will be assured. Arrangements have been made with the proprietors of the Saturday Press to carry out all advertising contracts and subscriptions, which will faithfully done Collections will be made monthly and all bill i against this paper will be paid monthly -upon presentation to the business manager. In conclusion, the chief aim of the Honolulu Press will be to foster and protect Hawaiian interests Avhile especial attention will be given to individual industries and plantation enterprises. We expect to merit the support of the community and respectfully ask"tlie privilege of a fair trial. It is an open question, whether this year's base-ball season has developed the play of the members of the various clubs. The scientific attainments in the game take high rank, and the in teresuincrcases in a corresponding degree; but pf late some disappointment has been felt at the evident lack of on the part of players, compared with their nlav at ' the oncnintr of the season, lias familarity bred contempt?. The impression is erroneous that the! road supervisor lias an fnterest in the carriage factories in town, or gets a rayalty'on every carriage spring injured by, the ruts and hollows in out1 thorough fares. - i'oivc.v. The large augmentation in the num ber of the volunteer forces in Honolulu, which 'has been lately made, would indicate an activity on the part of the present Ministry towards securing Hie election of dependent candidates at coming elections, which their opponents can by no means afford to ignore. That many of these proposed voters are under legal age, in fact, mere boys, is known; and it is to be hoped that every possible obstacle will be" placed by the Opposition in the way of illegal voting in this respect. With the universally acknowledged and growing weakness of the present Administration, and the prevalent desire of electors to see things put Upon a better footing both financially and otherwise, there is no reason why hopes, should not be entertained by the Independent Party is well of carrying this district as others, if the preliminary campaigning for that purpose be wisely planned and energetically carried out. This we hae reason to believe will be .the case. Perhaps the Independents Aould not conscienciously resort to thy trick of meeting their opponents witf their own weapons ; but even the Administration is fully aware that they will have to meet at the polls an array of opponents that have neither diminished in power or number since the last elections. The time has come when the effects of bad Legislation and executive extrava gance me being felt by all classes- of voters, and something more substantial than the windy promises of a faithless Administration are needed to soothe the prevalent spirit of discontent. Hard times are upon us, that are felt by the laboring man as well as the merchant and planter. The cause is not inscrutable to the ordinary voter, and "the only way offering for relief, is through action at the polls. . 1 -1' 1 l'OSrVHASlHAI. I met, a few days ago, a gentleman who had just returned from the Sandwich Islands. He was a full-fledged American a stronc be!ieer in repub lican institutions and the occasion of his visit was the first time he had ever stood in the presence of royalty. Never having the opportunity of .siting that little kingdom, I was quite interested in listening to my friend's description of the South Sea Paradise. "I noticed," he said, "a curious antagonism . between the American and English residents. While both are what you may call loyal to the reigning powers, the Americans believe that the country would do much belter as a republic, while the English consider that its prospects would improve under the piotection of the British flag. There are, therefore, two parties outside the regularly organized government and opposition sections one for and one for annexation to Gieat Britain. ' Besides", there are the iiatives, who are devotedly attached to the King, and who are as yet iir the conviction that Hawaii is the grandest country on the Almighty's footstool. " Tell me about the cpurt," I asked, "and how you felt in the presence of majesty." " Well, vou know mv visit to the is lands was one of business, and it was necessary to make a direct appeal to the King. I obtained a card from the Chamberlain. Colonel fudd. who. bv the. way, came up with me on the last steamer, and presented . myself at the palace gates. A dusky sentry conducted me to the King, who was engaged in writing the lives of the Ka- tpehamehas tn his library. I found a nleasant. intelligent and affable man, who listened attentively to my story aim appeared to thoroughly understand the objects of my visit. I gave the sentry a dollar, and I noticed that at my exit there were four soldiers in line, all of whom presented arms in the most respectful manner. 1 was not vain enough to attribute this courtesy to the dignity of my personal appearance, but concluded the dollar was the key to this military honor. The next morning I received an invitation to a court ball, and there I saw royalty and its belongings in gala attire. ( "That old tine American subject and San Franciscan, Mr. Paul Neumann, now Attorney General of the kingdom, was one of the most conspicuous figures in the long ballroom of the palace where the reception was held. Paul was literally coveted with gold lace, from the crown ol his curly head to his foot. He held a cocked hat under his arm, wore a couit sword, and looked so awfully imposing, that I hesitated about him by his Christian name. And when I saw him sajl "across the room with a Princess on one arm and' a lady of the loyal household on another,-1 shrank info a corner and said to myself, " Can that be the Paul Neumann whom I have heard solicting the suffrages of the Tenth waid in a p'ain, commonplace San Francisco hall ? Is this brilliant butterfly the gay fellow whom I have clinked glasses with in the saloons of Kearny street? Can this haughty apparition in gold lace, an order about his neck and a sword by his side, whom I have heard address the presiding officer of a justices' court as ' your honor,' and in. an eloquent argument allege that his client never owed .the $09 75 to the tailor, but that there was a mistake somewhere, and he was sure that' it was upon ' the tailor's side. "But it was Paul, nevertheless, though not the Paul of my California associations. This was the Neumann of the Court, and, as I saw him make a low obeisance to His Majesty( and whisper some diplomatic communication, I suppose, into the car of the British Minister, an old gentleman with an extraordinarily developed nose, I tould imagine myself in an orchestra scat of the California Theatre, witnessing a representation of 'The Grand Duchess,' "When the brilliant courtier condescended to notice me he was most profuse in his introductions. I tell you, for a plain American ciuVen like tny self, it was most cmbarrasing to be presented now to Her Royal Highness, the princess of So-and-So, and then to His Excellency, the Honorable Jones, Embassador Extraordinary and Envoy Plenipotentiary to the Court of His Serene Majesty, King Kalakaua. I seemed to be the only man in the room who had not a handle to his name, or a gojd stripe along his trowsers' leg. I tried to remind Paul of some of our old times, but 1 could "no more move him t peg from the dignity of the Attorney General in full uniform jit a court ball than I could announce' Fnyself as the Duke of Alviso. "Presently a tahslim, military looking person entered, made a low bow to the King, and craved the royal ear -for a few-minutes. '"Who i3 that?' I asked a little fellow-near me, w.ho, like myself, was attiied in the plain black garments of the American. " 'That, sir,' said he, pompously, 'is Brigadier General Hayley, of the Hawiian forces; and 1 have ho doubt that he has matter of grave importance to the welfare of the kingdom else he would not importune ms majesty u listen 10 mm on ims, a state occasion.' "I was crushed. I saw at once that this fellow had no sympathy with ine, and I longed more than ever for a gold stripe down my trowsers leg. " It seems to me," I remarked, "that you did not approach the throne in the proper sentiment. By your manner of relating your experiences 1 should con elude that you were on the putlook for something to laugh at. " Well, I was not." said my Hawai ian traveler. " I'll be hanged if I did'nt feel as serious as if I were in the pres ence of the Emperor of Germany, or Queen Victoria, or some of the other great ones of the earth. Now', under stand tne,that there was no bumbcombe about the King, Dusky as he is, begad, he looked every inch a King ; but it was the gold-laced American that got away with me. I saw a thin little chap come in, witn ms nan oangeu away down his foaehcad, who nearly touched the floor as he bowed before the dias on which the King and Queen were seated. ' That,' said my little cicerone is the Honorable Joseph H. Strong, painter to his Majesty; and who is now-engaged on a great work representing the 'Conquest of the Island of Oahu by Kamehameha, the Conqueror ' " I know " that's Why, him," says I; Joe Strong, one of the San Francisco boys.' 1 " My friend looked at me with a dis pleased expression. ' I toid you, sir, tie said, J that the -gentleman was the Honorable Joseph H. Strong, historical painter to the Royal Family of Hawaii.' "This squelched me, of course, and I had nothing rjjore to say. By and by supper was announced, and it was really a first class meal. I remarked that all the honorables,painters,soldiers, Ministers, Embassadors, etc., went at the grub in good, common fashion, and made the gin bottles for gin is the national drink hum around that table. My friend Paul made a '.speech, and told some of those venerable jokes which were current inSan Francisco ten years ago. But they hit the in the right place, for they laughed as heartily as if the mold of a weary decade had not rested on these antique chestnuts; and. I heard one gold-, laced neighbor of mine whisper to an-, other that the Attorney General. Was in great vein to-night, and tiat the last thing he got off was about the best he ever heard in his life. "All this time, you must remember,' the thermometer stood at about 100, and though I, in my light black suit, suffered considerably, it was an icicle by comparison with the fellows in the gold-laced casings. L It was a sight to' watch their collars melt. The wax jn the historical painter's bangs ran -down his cheeks in blotches, and the steam rising from the mass of sweltering humanity was like one pf our summer afternoon fogs. As for the. ladies well, they wore dresses of light material, but they were so saturated that they clung to their shouldeis like bathing suits. My last impression of my only experience of royalty was the vision of the Attorney General in the mist clinging to the neck of the his-' tprical painter, and reproaching him in indignant terms for not putting enough lime juice in the last round of gin punch." San Francisco Post. Ariangenients will be made during the week to have fujl Police Court re ports and other interesting local matter, including a brief cf the higher court proceedings, and the latest fashion notqs.
