HONOLULU AND ITS KING,

nv or.onnn Awt'sTr su .

(" Land of the Golden Fln." inAuckland Weekly Xeir,

July IS, 1885.)

A break in si long hca oyngo isalways u joyful occurrence, andmarks tho almost inevitable mono-tonous calendar of your log with thewhitest of while stories. To catchsight of a shark even, or of a

"school" of porpoises, is a kind ofrelief; while the descent of a shoalof Hying llsh reminds you of Vo-ltaire's bitter apothegm, in which helikens unto llsh that lly those men ofletters who are so foolish as to seekto shine in "society." "The fishthat leinnin in the sea hate them forsoaring so high ; and when they fall,exhausted, on the deck of the ship,the sailors knock tlicin on the head."The advent, too, of an albatross ii aboon, since it enables you to rub upyour memories of Coleridge's "An-cient Mariner;" but land even thedimmest, the most transient glimpseof blue that is the great oasis inthe vast waste of the wide desert ofUltramarine, for which you mostpassionately yearn. Land came atlast, on the morning of the seventhday after we left .San Francisco.Land, first, in the guise of juttingheadlands and promontories, then oflow-lyin- g, undulating chains of hills,glorious in purple and gold in therays of the morning sun. AVc wereamong the islands of the Hawaiiangroup, and shortly after one o'clockthe. good ship Australia was along-side the wharf in the harbor of Hono-lulu. Aloha! It is a matter ofetiquette to be continually crying"Aloha I" while you are at Hono-lulu. Not being skilled in the Ha-

waiian tongue, I am unable to stalewhat may be the exact significationof "Aloha;" but I take it to be aconvertible term for the American'"Bully for you ;" for the French"On dirait du vcau;" for the Ita-lian "Viva la bclla famiglia;" andfor the English "All serene." Hono-lulu is scrcner than ever was the"sarrissima" republic of Venice. Itis the loveliest spot that these eyeshave yet gazed upon lovelier thanSorrento, lovelier than Venlnor,lovelier than the view of the Thamesfrom the terrace of the Star andGarter at Richmond, lovelier thanJackson Square. New Orleans, bymoonlight. Honolulu is a terrestrialParadise, but with, alas, a fell ser-pent lurking among its loveliness.Aloha!

I had some business with HisMajesty the King of the SandwichIslands, whom I had already hadthe honor to meet at dinner atKelly's Lodge, Ilighgatc, at thetime when that intelligent monarchwas making his voyage round theworld, and for whom I was thehearer of some presents from theBaroness Burdctt Coutts. TheSaucy Alameda, which had only dis-tanced us 1)3' a few hours, had re-

ported the Commissioner of our ar-liv-

and it was an odd and farfrom unpleasant surprise, so soon asthe Australia had come to her moor-ings, to find her boarded by a num-ber of gentlemen in European dress

as European dress is understoodin the vicinity of the tropics whoafter violently shaking hands, tookme at once into abiding custody. Ihad never seen any of them before,in all probability I shall never seeany one of them again, but theywere all exceedingly kind ; they 'allseemed to be thoroughly well ac-

quainted with the object of my mis-

sion, and they certainly made myfour and a half hours' stay in theSandwich Islands a very happy one.Four and a half hours. I shouldhave hked to stay a month, and 1

am sure that I had at least half-a-doz-

invitations to "lie over till thenext steamer touched, and have ahigh old time ;" but Captain Ghestwas necessarily inexorable. L wasdue at a certain date at Sydney, andit was imperative that I should he"on time," so that it was impossibleto entertain the fascinating contin-gency of lying over and having ahigh old time. Aloha! So I wasainicabty jostled into a waggonettein the company if I lemcinberaright of an estimable I'rolestantclergyman, a couple of editors, asugar-pfantc- r, and the Governor-Gener- al

of the Hawaiian Kingdom.Whither my friends in the waggo-nette intended to carry me I am sureI do not know; but it was only altera number of piteous appeals on mypart, and meek entreaties, that Ishould bo able to liberate my soulfrom the burden of the presentsfrom the Baroness to the King, thatI was temporarily released from cus-

tody, or, tho rather, handed over toanother amicable set of algua-zil- s,

who shunted me, so to speak,into a buggy drawn by two high-spirite- d

horses, and driven by a full-beard-

gentleman of unmistakablyAmerican extraction, in which vehi-

cle I was conveyed to the Royall'alace, an edifice of stone, and ofarchitectural pretensions at leastequaling those of a schloss in anaverage German Grand Duchy. TheHawaiian palace stands in tastefullylaid oiit grounds, rainbow lined withtropical plants and floweis, and sur-rounded by a high stono wall. Therewas an armed sentinel in a neat uni- -

form on guard nt tho entrance gate,and a few more soldiers were loung-ing about an undergiound apaitmentwhich appeared to he the'guard-loo- m

of the palace; and 1 subse-quently learned that His Majestymaintains a considerable military es-

tablishment, which makes an impres-sive appearance in the Hawaiianarmy list. The king, of course, isgeneralissimo, and His Excellencythe Hon. J. O. Dominis, Governor ofOahu, and member of the House ofNobles, is eonnnaudcr-in-chie- f. Thenthere is the King's Household Guard,with a captain and three lieutenants,and a military instiuctor witli the rankof major. All these gallant warriorsbear European names. One "lion.('. riuloon," seems to be a native.There is the Prince's Own ArtilleryCorps and I he Leleiohoku CavalryCorps, and the Mnnmlahoa Infantry,the King's own Volunteer Guards,and the Honolulu Rilles, and in par-ticular there is the Royal HawaiianBand, organised by a very talentedmilitary bandmaster, a Prussiannamed Merger, who, when he arrivedat the Sandwich Islands in 1872,found about twelve young nativeswho had acquired some degree ofproficiency in blowing wind instru-ments. The intrepid llcrr tookthese young Polynesians in hand,and made finished instrumentalistsof Ilium, after the manner of thePrussian army. Bandmaster Bergerhas also composed, for the use of hischocolate-skinne- d pupils, the Kame-haiueh- a

hymn, which has becomethe national anthem under the titleof "Hawaii Ponoi." The band,now numbering twenty-eigh- t music-ians, now give a grand concert oncea week in Queen Emma Square, andonce or twice a month in front of theHawaiian Hotel. The King has aserenade once a week at the palace,and on the departure of steamers orthe arrival of foreign war vessels,HerrBerger's martial minstrels usual-ly play a welcome of sweet sounds.Noted guests are also frequentlytreated to complimentary serenades.Aloha!

His Majesty does not habituallyreside at the Royal l'alace. lieusually inhabits a commodiouswooden bungalow in the palacegrounds, and to this building 1 wasconducted by a brown and courteousPolynesian, who, to judge from hisattire, inijiht have been an assistantgardener, and under butler, or apoliceman olf duty I mean a police-man in the State of Louisiana, whoof all constables with whom I havemade acquaintance in different partsof the world is the freest and easiestin his garb. The aide-de-cam- p inwaiting was not, I was informed,"on hand;" but I sent in my card,and a minute or two afterwards themessenger returned with a graciouscommand from His Majesty that Ishould attend him. The groundiloor of the interior of the bungalow-wa- s

very dark, but under the guid-ance of the brown and civil Hawai-ian I contrived to grope my way up asteep and tortuous staircase, andpassing through an antechamber, 1

was ushered into the presence ofHis Majesty, a David Laamea Kala-kau- a,

King of Hawaii. The son ofthe High Chief, Kahanu Kapaakea,and of the High Chiefess, AnaleaKeohokalole, great granddaughter ofKeawcaheulii, a famous warrior andcouncillor of Kaincliaineha 1., wassitting at a bureau in a large dimly-lighte- d

apartment, the lloor of whichwas laid with matting. The apart-ment, so far as my imperfect visioncould discern, was simply but ele-

gantly furnished, and behind theroyal armchair was a tall bookcasefull of well-boun- d volumes. HisMajesty rose when I entered, gaveme his hand, bade me be seated,and treated me during a prolongedinterview with the greatest kindness,expressing, among other things, ahope that I was going to stop amonth in the Hawaiian Islands, un-

der which circumstances I shouldhave an opportunity of visiting thelargest volcano in the world. Woeis me, I had barely three more hoursto stay in beauteous Honolulu her-self. The king is a gentleman ofconsiderable inches, stalwart nndwell built, very dark, but with a veryintelligent expression of counten-ance. Ho talked fluently and withease in really excellent English, andthere is nothimr astonishine: in hisdoing so, since he has received acapital education, literary, legal,and military; his instructors in thefirst two branches were Americansof high culture, while his militarytraining, begun at the ago of 11,was superintended by an old Prus-sian olllcer, Captain Funk. The.kind is a Freemason, and was in-

ducted to tho thirty-thir- d degree byGeneral Pike, of Virginia, in 1871.Ho is also a member of tho Bar.Prior to his election to the sover-eignty of the Sanduich Islands, thoyoung prince filled divers posts intho Honolulu ejvil service, and atthe time when lie was chosen kingby an overwhelming majority of thonobles and the ropiesentativesof theHawaiian people he was a clerk intho Land Olllce. King Kalakaua isabout '10 years of age. With hisphotographic portrait in full uni-

form, and with a portentous pair ofbullion epaulettes mi his shoulders,and with the decorations of all hisroyal orders glittering on his manlybreast, Europeans must lie tolerably

familiar, but he was attired in muchsimpler fashion on the morning whenI had the honor to be admitted tohis presence. He was dressed in athin suit of alpaca, and wore no rib-

bon nor star. Not that his realm isdestitute of orders of chivalry. Heis sovereign of the Royal Orders ofKainehanieha, of Kalakaua, of

of the Crown of HawaiiAloha. A diplomatic corps is like-wise accredited to the Court of Ho-

nolulu. The United States ofAmerica have a Minister resident;(.treat Britain has a Commissionerand Consul-Genera- l; France, Italy,and the other European Powers havealso their respective Consuls andCharges 1' Affaires. Peru, Mexico,and .Japan are also adequately re-

presented at this tiny far-aw-

Polynesian Court. Not withoutdesign have I given United SlatesMinister resident priority among themembers of the diplomatic body.One can scarcely be half an hour inHonolulu, keeping one's eyes andears tolerably wide open, withoutarriving at a full knowledge of thefact that the Hawaiian Kingdom iscommercially nnd socially "bossed"by the United States of America,and by the State of California inparticular. An enterprising mer-chant of German extraction, domi-ciled in San Francisco, completelycontrols the important sugar produc-tion of the Sandwich Islands; thehighest olllces of State are tilled byAmericans, who, in sonic instances,have formed matrimonial connectionswith princely Hawaiian families;and an American banking firm atHonolulu have a great deal to say inall matters of Hawaiian finance. TheHawaiian coinage and a very hand-some coinage it is was struck atthe San Francisco Mint ; Honoluluis full of American ulergynicn,journalists, school teachers, lawyers,and storekeepers; and althoughBritish mercantile interests are toler-ably well represented here, I cannothelp fancying that in the SandwichIslands it is the U. S. A. that rulethe roast.

King Kalakaua, after signifyinghis gracious acceptance of the giftswhich I had brought him, andmaking many kind inquiries touching the health of the Baroness, ofMr. Burdctt Coutts, and of his manyfriends in Europe, dismissed mewith lair words, anil 1 went on myway rejoicing, to fall speedily intothe hands of 1113 friends in the wag-gonette, who straightway took meinto custody again and proceeded todrive me out of my mind, figura-tively speaking, at the fastest paceat which the two spirited horsescould go at a tearing gallop alongmagnificent roads. I should havedearly longed to have had a quietsaunter an observant prowlthrough the leafy lanes which formthe streets of Honolulu; but 1113'

genially imperious friends of thewaggonette would not hear of any-thing of that kind. I must ride. Imust be driven 13 the tall, full-beard-

jeliu of transatlantic aspect.The consequence was that I sawHonolulu not as in a glass darkly,but under what 1 may term kaleido-scopic circumstances. It was a splen-did chiy, and the sun was shininggloriously, although far away in avallej we could see the purpleclouds pouring down huge sheets ofrain. On the right there was a bluesea calm to-da- majestic, imper-turbable; but in the foreground oneither side it was one almost mad-dening succession of kaleidoscopicpanoramas. Now whole groves ofcocoanut palm; now lofty thicketsblazing with the almost ideseribablysuperb scarlet Bouganvillias; thengroves of cacti and prickly pear ;

then hedges bursting foith in brilli-ant flowers ; then trim marketgardeners, delightful in their green-ery, laid out by Chinese gardeners.Then came a vision of China, theFlowery Land itself, a dream of thedear old Willow Pattern Plate nolonger uniform blue nnd white, buttranslated into all manner of radianthues. There was a little streamlet,crossed l3 a little elliptical bridge,and upon 1113' word there were threepig-taile- d Chinamen crossing thatbridge, looking for all the world likethe celebrated brothers of the Wil-

low Pattern Plate ; and there werethe willows themselves, and a boat,and a pagoda painted bright ledand with little balls pendant fromthe leaves, and birds of rare plumewere circling in the slty. The place,11103 told me, contained a Chinesetemple, a tea-hous- e, and the resi-

dence of a wealthy Chinese mer-

chant. John Chinaman does wellat Honolulu. A large consignmentof Japanese had also arrived theday prior to our landing. The"Japs" were under engagement tolabor in tho sugar plantations. Theyhad been inspected by the King,and assured by I lis Majesty of con-

siderate and equitable treatment.But speedily more kaleidoscopicfragments of pictures floated acrossmy field of vision. A jroup ofCatholic Sisters of Charity, in theirwide-sleeve- d robes and snowy wim-

ples, and pinners beneath theirsnowy veils, and with their sweet,smiling, rosy faces. Yes, rosy evenbeneath this torrid sun. Then knotsand groups of native children, theircomplexions apparently heightenedcither with Cadbury's essence orwith Epp'a cocoa black-polle- d,

chins, male and femnle, with littlebare brown legs and feet, and claduniformly in a single garment abedgown of white or colored calico,and nothing else. A most sensibleand suitable garment for this climate,as "mighty convanicnt" as weruMr. Brian O'Lynn's nether garmentsof sheepskin, of which he turnedthe wooly side outwards in summerand inwards in winter. The Russianmouiik, as j'ou well know, acts inprecisely the same manner with hissheepskin gaberdine, or louloupc.Nor is the use of the single linen orcalico garment for all attire confinedto the native children. In the gar-den of u handsome country house I

saw with admiration a white lsuly,young, handsome, and elegant amember possibly of one of the "firstfamilies" of the island, bendinglovingly over a lace-triinin- mosquit-

o-curtained cot, in which lay apretty white lady. The lady haddiamond drops at her ears, and adiamond cross at her neck, andgolden bracelets and flashing ringson her fingers, but her only visiblegarment was a long white muslinbedgown. Wli3 wear more, atHonolulu at least? Aloha?

Native women, too, their head-gear huge cabbagctree hats, passedus on horseback, thc3' riding nsliuluas the Turkish and Egyptian womendo. And then more children scamp-ering out of school and chatteringver3' harmoniously in a languagewhich to 1113 ears seemed to be neartyall vowels, with just a consonanthere and there to keep the weakervessels of sound in order. And sowe came at last to a beautiful bunga-low a fishing villa, 1 was told, witha landing stage jutting out into theblue sea. And here we found ladiesand gentlemen, an elegant collation,lleidscck's dr3' nionopolc or was itPommory and Greno? in "spum-ing chalices." There too we foundnot only a hearty welcome, butpolite conversation thu societysmall-tal- k of London and Paris, ofNew York and Washington and SanFrancisco. The Lady's Gazette ofFashion was lying on one table.The Girl's Own Paper on another.1 rubbed, for a moment, the eyes of1113' mind, and wondered for a mo-

ment where 1 was. Have 3011 notoccasionally fallen into a similar con-

dition of temporary uncertaintywanderer on the face of the earth ?

"Society," the whole world over,has grown to be so much alike. Rubthe eyes of 3'our mind. "Where thedeuce are you ? Sometimes you seein a splendid saloon a swarthy gen-

tleman in a black Mirtoul buttonedto the throat, and with a scarlet fezworn at the back of his head. Youare in "society" at Pera, at Con-

stantinople. Again, your neighborat dinner is a charming lady whospeaks French with much morepurity than 111:1113' Parisionnes do,and who is talking enthusiasticallyabout Patti and Nilsson, Sardou andSarah Bernhardt. But the gentle-men present are mainly in mid-da- y

uniform, and wear large epaulettesof loose bullion. You are diningout in society at St. Petersburg.Again, you are at dinner; the icesand the coffee are of exquisitequality. You are at Vienna. Some-body is smoking a papcblito be-

tween the courses. You are atMadrid. As you pass from thedining-roo- m to the drawing-roo- m

3'ou espy a shovel hat or so on thetable in the vestibule ; and amongthe male guests there may be someold gentlemen in red stockings, andsome younger gentlemen in purplehose. As I continue to rub the C3'esof 1113' mind in the great drawing-roo- m

of the bungalow far aw:i3', 1113'

03--0 suddenly lights on the oddest

lady's boudoir that I have ever yetbeheld. It is a room within a room

a dainty little boudoir continuinga cabinet piano, a rocking-chai- r, awork-tabl- e, a plenitude of shrubsand flowers, and pretty bric-a-bra- c ;

but the walls and the ceiling of thisroom within a room are seemingly oftho finest wire gauze. The daintyboudoir reminds mo for an instantof a kind of glorified mcatsafe; butthen I remember that the translu-cent walls and ceiling of the daintyboudoir are intended to keep outthe mosquitos, and that I am atHonolulu in the Sandwich Islands.Aloha.

LAND AND PEOPLE.

It is an axiom in science that abody consists of the siiin total of itsindividual parts, no more and no less.The same principle doubtless obtainsin political and social bodies. Thenational virtue will be the virtue ofits individual citizens. And, in thesame manner, the vitality oi thenation is the aggregate vitality ofthe people. Its existence is simplythe existence of its constituent parts,and these constituent parts arc thevarious individuals of the humanfamily collected within its borders.The country is great or the reverse,according as its people are a greatpeople or an aggregation of nobodies.Whatever state policy goes to attracta desirable class of immigrants, orto provide for thu population alreadyunder it, is that which will commandapproval at home and abroad. Andif this Hawaiian nation is to survivethe wear of years, and perpetuateitself as one of the nations of theworld, it must have a population, ofnative or foreign birth, or both.There seems to be a general impres-

sion that the native element - dimin-

ishing in numbers, and if such is thecase, depopulation, or national ex-

tinction, must follow, unless vigor-

ous measures be adopted to preventsuch a catastrophe. "What the meas-

ures urgently and immediately need-ed are opens up many iiiestioiiswhich will doubtless be debatedvigorously by all concerned in their.solution. Fortunately for the mainquestion, it need not be left alto-

gether to vague theorizing or toscientific: reasoning to settle. It isa question which has been practicallyanswered in the United States ofAmerica anil the Australian colonies,and is at the present time in processof solution by .similar methods in

thu Dominion of Canada. It is sim-

ply making provision by stalutaryenactments for settling the countrywith the largest possible number oflanded proprietors, The homesteadlaws of the United States and theAustralian colonies have turned vasttracts of howling wilderness intocomfortable and prosperous homes.Similar laws in the Dominion ofCanada are also opening up millionsof acres of some of the most fertilelands on the American Continent,lands until very recently thu undis-

turbed haunts of the buffalo, and afew wild Indian tribes, All theselaws and regulations are formulatedon the axiomatic principle that popu-

lation, and that in families, is whatmakes a country. People are con-

sidered of morn value than buffa-

loes, or forests primeval, or prairiegrass. On these islands, there are

PI-I- E DAILY BULLETIN, HONOLULU, H. I., KRIDAY, AUGUST 14, 1885.

big tracts of laud lying in the silenceof unpeopled desolation, that mightbo the homes of a busy population.It is true, there arc extensive plan-

tations and immense cattle ranches ;

and these roll up no small volumeof tiadc, yielding handsome profitsto the few who are loittinate enoughto be shareholders. Under a systemof small farms, plnntnig'and grazing,and divei'silled agricultural indus-

tries, capitalists whose money is atpresent invested in two or threeenterprises, instead of being con-

tracted, would soon Unci the sphereof their operations greatly expand-

ed, and instead of risking all theirresources on the Jluctualions of theworld's inaikcls with respect to onearticle of commerce, they wouldAnd a law of compensation in adiversilied commerce, whereby losson one article would be fully repair-

ed by increased gain in other. Iflarge tracts of locked up lands onthis island alone were thrown opento settlement, bodies of colonistscould, without doubt, be attractedto the country. Honolulu itself,instead of depending almost whollyupon inter-islan- d trade for its pros-

perity, would be backed by largeagricultural districts, which wouldbring much prolitable trade to thecity, and that, to a large extent,independently of the thousand andone vicissitude- - to which the verylimited number of her resources arenow continuously subject. Schemesare already being mooted for throw-

ing open several extensive tracts ofland for occupation in small farms,and all feasible .schemes of thatcharacter ought to be backed byGovernment and people. A suc-

cessful scheme of colonization will

no doubt be a great boon to thenative race who will be likely to fallinto line and take their share of theadvantages s offered, and whichwill then be within their reach.

THE CRANT MEMORIAL.

SEHVICE IN FORT STREET CHURCHYESTERDAY.

MAOXII'ICKM' 'lllllltT'Ii: io lmiuinri)WOKTII.

The service in memory of GeneralGrant in Fort Stiect Church yester-day afternoon, under the auspicesof the American residents of Hono-lulu, must take its place among thememorable events in the history of1 1I city. It was a worthy exhibitionof Americ.in patriotism, manifestedin a prompt attribution of honor tothe mcmoiy of a man who reflectedlustre upon his nation, But it wasmore than that to many of theAmericans who participated therein.There were some there who hadtaken part in the campaigns where-in the departed hero had won nameand fame for himself, and wroughtout the salvation of his country andthe deliverance of the slaves held inbondage to the disgrace of Americ-an liberty. Also some were presentwho, having had personal knowledgeof General Grant's line qualities asa man, mourned the dead warrior asif he were a friend near and dear tothem. Opportunity was taken oftiiis celebration of sadness, for peo-ple of all nationalities in this verycosmopolitan city to show at oncetheir appreciation of greatness inwhatsoever nationality exemplified,and their recognition' of the impor-tance and influence of the Americanelement in this community.

The, committee of arrangementsdid their work well, even withouttaking into account the brief timeallowed them. Without being veryelaborate the decorations were am-ple, and executed with very goodtaste and skill, On the frontof thu gilded organ pipes therewas a picture of Grant, in a mourn-ing border adorned with ferns, liliesand roses. An American flag wasprettily festooned, with a bouquetfastening and crape ribbons, at thesummit of the organ, and two pillarsdraped spirally rose on cither side,forming an arch with the festoon.The choir front and staircase weredraped with Ainciicai) flags, trimmedwilli the insignia of mourning, andthe reading desk was covered witha silken one. Magnificent banks offlowers covered the. front of theplatform. The gallery front wasfinely adorned with black and whitefestoons and interlacing maile vino,and the spaces occupied by fernsand white and pink flowers.

At three o'clock the church waswell filled with one of the mostrepresentative assemblages ever con-vened in Honolulu. Besides thelarge number of Americans, everynationality, every trade and profession were represented. Among thenumber were: His Majesty theKing, Her Majesty the Queen, U.K.II. l'rincess Liliiiokiilani, II. R. II.Princess Likcliko, II. il. II, thu Gov-erness of Hawaii, Hon. A. S. Cleg-hor- n,

The Jloyal Hawaiian Hand playeda programme of funereal music infront of the church before the open-ing, and also gave appropriate musicat the close of the service Afterthe arrival of Their Majesties theprogramme of the occasion was en-

tered upon, U. S. Minister Merrillpresiding. Mr. Myrom II. Jones,organist, gave a funeral inarch fromUecthoveu with his usual skill. Mr.Merrill then delivered thu openingaddress as follows :

The great conqueror has demand-ed an unconditional surrender ofthe General of the age. Death'stidal wave lias washed the soul fromthe shores of time out into the greatocean of eternity, and , while thebody is nioldering back to the dustfrom whence it came, we assembleon a distant sea-gi- rt isle to scatter afew spoken tributes to his memory.Under thu shadows of the KgyptianPyramids in the halls of sovereigns,where he once sat the honored guest :

on India's torrid plains, throughIlussia's ice-bou- realms, menwhisper, "Grant is dead." Howcan mortal add luster to his fame?How can J weave chaplcts whichshall add new beauty to the life andcharacter of such a man? Impossi-ble! The people know, and withone accord have heralded his fame.The world has gone to his birth-place, traced him through youth,watched him up through the cloudsat Lookout Mountain, stood appalledat his vigorous and persistent graspat Vicksburg, listened to bis gunsin the "Wilderness, and with respect-ful wonder watched him marchingdown this brink of eternity, until hecould hear the waves beating on theopposite shore, with that same linn,steady, courageous tread whichmarked his soldier life. A child ofAmerica, his character and fame arethu properly of the world! Hisonly inheritance was a large brain,a great heart, and a mother's bene-diction. Born in Ohio, in 1822,when that now prosperous and thriv-ing Slate was a part of what wasonce known as the "Wild "West;"from an humble beginning, strug-gling up through adversity, againstpoverty, crowding through a busy,rough and frowning world, he hero-ically climbed the column of humangreatness until, scarcely havingpassed the meridian of life,.Moving up fioin high to higher,Becomes, on foitune's crowning slope.The pillar of a people'- - hope,The center of a world's de-Ir- e.

"Whether a youth stubbornly fight-ing adversity, on the tented fieldamid the smoke of battle, or aschief magistrate of the nation, thatsame fortitude, courage, stern re-solve and fidelity of purpose, ismirrored throughout his wholecareer. lie needs no monument."With his own hand he has reared anobelisk inoro imperishable thanstone, more brilliant than gold, thefoundation of which is laid deepand broad in the affections of hiscountrymen, and by his own actshas piled stone upon stone until itstands before the world the embodi-ment of superior genius. GeneralGrant was not an old man whencalled to bivouac with the dead ; butlife is not measured by its hoursand days, but by that which we havedone therein for our country andkind. A useful life is short if itlast a century. It is "measured bythe soul's advance." Man, by hisown deeds while living, erects, ifhe will, his own monument, and byhis acts carves inscriptions whichwill remain truthful mementoeswhen the escutcheons on the marbleslab shall be dimmed by time andburied in the dust of age--. Mothsmay corrupt, and thieves breakthrough and steal the gilded paint-ing; ages corrode and crumble themarble and granite shaft, but thecrowning glory of the silent, mag-nanimous man at Appomattox.Never !

As the soul of the soldier obeyedthe bugle call from the other shore,bid adieu to earthly scenes andjoined the waiting heroes, and wentmarching on through the endlessages of eternity, the, chained light-nings thrilled the oceans and flashedthu solemn fact around the world,Mortality is hardly cold, when, tothe prostrate widow beside the couchof the dead, the Queen of a greatnation whispers consolation and dipsher royal scepter in respectful salute,while kings and rulers, of everyclime and of all nations, Join withthe sorrowing people of his nativeland in paying tributo to the memoryof the flaxen-haire- d youth of theprairies, developed into the illus-trious chieftain of thu age. It isnot America alone, but the civilizedworld, recognize the fact that a greatman has passed away great in his

The Rev, K. C.

Sonic men are born to greatness,sonic achieve greatness, and sonichave greatness thrust upon them.Geneial Grant was no creature offortune. Circumstances did notmake him lie made them. Grantnever pretended to be anything butwhat he was. Ho was the same un-

affected citizen abroad, the guest ofSovereigns, as when in time of Insadversity he drove a load of wood in-

to the city of St. Louis for sale.He came back from his wonderfulovations around the world, if possi-ble, a sounder American than whenhe went awsry. His place in the his-

tory of our country is due solely tohis own brave, honest heart, steadynerve, good judgment, and tenaciouswill. 1 never had the honor ofserving under his immediate com-

mand cither in the armies of theAVest, or in the army of the Poto-mac. Our sturdy townsman, thechairman of the Committee of Ar-

rangements for this occasion, if hewould speak out, could tell of hispersonal and intimate acquaintancewith the General at one time as sur-geon and medical director on hisstaff. Another of our townsmen is herewho, while a lad, was present inMexico in tlie same battles with Lieut.Grant. I saw Grant on only twooccasions once in Charlestown, justafter the Civil "War, when I spentan evening in his company, withsome of his staff ofllcers, at theheadquarters of General Sickles.lie showed then no elation in hismanner, no consciousness of hisgrand success; he talked quietlyand earnestly of the condition ofthings and of the prospects at theSouth, and chatted about reminis-cences of the Mexican war. Thenext time 1 saw him was uponCommencement Day at HarvardCollege, in 1872. lie was Presi-dent of the great Republic. TintUniversity was giving him the high-est honors; her most eminent menwere speaking his praises. He arosein response to an eloquent addressfrom the President of the Univer-sity, and saiil that humiist rely uponhis friend Judge Hoar, then Attor-nuy-Gener- al

of the United States, tospeak for him, and that was all hesaid. He was not a man, I think,of strong .sympathies or antipathies,lie kept faith with those in whomhe trusted, sometimes during hisexperience in civil life, when theydid not deserve his friendship. Hissoldier's instinct, mi true in militarymatters, failed him at times, asoften is the case with .soldiers, inbusiness matters and in statecraft.Men believed in him, not so muchfrom any electric influence which heexercised as because they knew hewould do what ho tried to do. Butwhatever his mistakes tis a civilian

he was always true to his country,to the whole country. His fame isuntarnished by n single blemish.

Comrades and Friends : Wc haveassembled to-da- y to join in thoughtand feeling with the processionwhose mournful .symbols aro dis-played from the busy centres orcivilization to the four coiners ofthe earth, and while our heaits aicoppressed with sorrow for our deadcommander, our grief is temperedwith the thought that when the oldsoldier nnswered to the last roll-ca- ll

he passed from thu afflictions whichhave borne so heavily upon theclosing mouths of his life to thewell-earne- d rewind of peace throughlife eternal. The whole world isbetter for the life of such a man.The memory of his deeds, and ofhis character, will live to cheer andencourage true hearts so long asjustice and liberty shall be prizedby mankind. History furnishes norecord of a leader surpassing GeneralGrant for calm and intelligentbravery in the face of disaster, orfor the boundless magnanimity ofins heart in the hour of victory.The persistence with which lieadhered to plans wasa key-not- e to his character. Hisperfect faith in the accomplishmentof the objects which lie sought wasexemplified in the fact that lie neverturned back. This was illustratedin his reply to a Chief Quatter-niastc- r

who had reported transpoit-alio- u

for ten thousand men, andthere were forty thousand to crossa river to the attack, and who ask-

ed: "15ut how, General, if we are,driven back?" The old hero's eyeflashed, as he replied, "If wc comeback, transportation for ten thou-sand will be ample for all that areleft." Americans arc proud of anobility which has for its only basisintegrity and capacity, all nationsacknowledge the nobility of thisgrand soul who commenced life as apoor boy, and left it the acknow-ledged military leader of the world.The nations of the earth have joinedto honor this representative Ameri-can. Ilulcrs and people the high-

est and lowest of all lands claimwith us the right to revere thememory of the great General, thenoble citizen. Let us, his comradesand fellow citizens, who have wan-

dered so far from the fields whereonhe won imnioital glory, join withfriends from other lands who havegathered with us to-da- y in the ex-

pression of our thanks to the Su-

preme Commander of the Universe,that this man of unswerving in-

tegrity and unfailing adherence toduty came forth from the peacefulpursuits of an humble citizen, andslew the twin demons Disunionand Slavery. So thorough was hiswork that if ever the ghost of Dis-

union shall show his head, or ifever the ghost of Slavery shallcrack his whip, the battle fluids andthe burial places throughout theland will give up their dead heroes;and skeletons of regiments, of bat-

teries, and of troops will arise intheir tattered shreds of blue withthe stars and stripes, and of graywith stars and bars. The dry boneswill rattle, and the rusty arms willclank as they form the shadowy lineof battle, blue and gray shoulder toshoulder, to join in one grandcharge and sweep not from earthalone, but from eternity, the thoughtof tiiose two crimes. As wc go toresume our respective paths in life,let us draw consolation from thefaith which assures us that our deadcomrade has left his earthly abodewith all of its cares and trials, tolive henceforth in perfect peace, toinhabit a house not made with hands,,eternal in the heavens.

Mr. Yarndley and Mr. Jones ren-

dered, very exquisitely, a reverie onthe violin and organ. Mr. JamesB. Castle read a poetical tribute toGrant, an adaptation of Walt Whit-man's poem in commemoration ofLincoln. After which addresseswere doliveied by Dr. Kmerson, Mr.Horner and Consul-Gener- Putnam.

at the large number ussenbled to dohonor to America's dead hero. Itmade him think more, than ever thattlie country he belonged to was agreat one, when honors such as thesewere bestowed in a foreign hind ona countryman.

the hero of Fort Dom-Nou- . Thatgeneral was the one who plannedthe campaign that sent Sherman onhis inarch to the sea. To the speak-er's mind it was after the captureof Vicksburg that Grant showedmost greatness. Flushed with theseries of successes resulting fromGrant's able direction of the Unionarmies, Sheridan and others werefretting and fuming to follow up theadvantages to the bitter end. ButGrant said: " Kmliinger no man'slife unnecessarily. These are allour brethren," 'Mr. II. went on toeulogize Grant's magnanimity indealing with the defeated enemy,allowing the Southerners to taketheir horses homo with them, saying,"They will want them to till theirfields' The speaker depicted thesatisfaction' thtiV must have been

Ills bodily frame was not easthi the mould of a giant. We tlnd himiohae been of medium height andweight, equalled and even surpassed bymany of his Generals' in distinction andnobleness of appearance. Hooker andCuster were giants in stature alongsideof Grant, and in a tilt at arms the heroof Vicksburg and Appomattox mighthuu fared hardly at the. hands oft.ee orlieuiiregard. General Grant had nottliecoiutly presence of Washington, orthe commanding physique of Scott, yetno one looking upon him would have sethim down sis 'inslgnlli.-'aii-t or common-place.

and could avail himself of this greatmeans of lecuppratlng tired nature un-

der circumstances which would havemade sleep impossible to most men.His habits of body and mind weietemperate; his pul-- e was wont tokeep an even beat, and his temperwas not easily milled. The physicaltemperament of General Grant wasqualities happily compounded of suchas were calculated to impel himto make prolonged and stubborn resist-ance, and would not permit him to suc-cumb to the depres-in- g influence of de-

feat or disaster. In the language of thephysiologist, his temperament would liedescribed a- - made up chiefly of thosetwo vital elements, the bilious and the

Along with these wa suchan admixture of the, nervous and lym-phatic or phlegmatic as is necessary tothe foi uiatlou of a strong resistant char-acter. It might be said that to thisbilious element in his temperamentwhich, by the way. predominated in themake-u- p of Abraham Lincoln Grantowed his powerful, bony framework aswell as his taciturnity and reticence.To the sanguine-liic- li was the factornio-- t largely' present in General Wash-ington Grunt owed his ed

inueular system, and at the same timehis never-failin- g cheerfulness and elastichopefulness of spirit. To the nervouselement in his temperament in whichhe was excelled by Sherman GeneralGrant owed his power of quick adapta-tion to circumstance-- , his readiness toseize an opportunity and press the ad-vantage ol hi- - own strength in the direc-tion ol the enemy's weakness. While tothe phlegmatic element he owed thatseeming solidity which enabled him toturn a deaf car to the tongue of envy anddetraction, and to pre-er- ve an outwardcalm when death played havoc abouthim. But analyze as we may the phys-ical elements that make up the materialbasis of the man, there is a spirit thatinhabits and rules them which delles ouranalyses; let us therefoie bring to ouraid what help we canto obtain from ty

to solve the enigma of character.The ancestry of General Grant wasScutch, and the clan whoe name hebore wete proud to claim him in 1S77 asone of thein. ''Their war cry,"' saysBadcau, "has always been 'Stand fast,Craig " Certainly blood isthicker than water, and it bears alongin its stream the cumulative Influenceof past generations. One cannot but.think that the dogged resolution of Gen-eral Grant to "tight it out on this line ifit takes all .siiiunicr,'' was byordinary generation from that old war-cr- y

of his clan. Let us picture him ashe wtis at the age of two score anil two,live feet nine Inches in height, a hun-dred and sixty pounds in weight, a linnset figure, erect and muscular, but notbold or sti iking in appearance; headsquare and well placed, attached by aneck not too long to a pair of broad andstaunchly-bui- lt shoulders. From be-neath :i broad, clean culforeheail, whichlooks white compared with the tawnybrown of his cheeks, look calmly outupon you two gray, intellectual eyeswhich, in some lights, seem almostblue; the nose straight, and not overlong, mid gives one the impression ofbeing slightly Jtoinan in profile. Thehands, which are attached to muscularanus of ample length, are not those

mourn, the more I am impressed withthe fact that In him was exhibited amo-- t foiliuiiitc concurrence of forces.The elements were the same as arecommon to human nature, but in thenice propoi Honing of the alloy, as wellas in the regulation of thu furnace-lir- ethat fused the elements into one mass,there was in tills case some happystroke of fortune.

Of the industries of Honoluluthe operation of the Marine Railwayis one of the most important in a

variety of ways. It gives employ-ment to much skilled labor, thushelping to keep a good class of peo-

ple in the city. By a large consumption of shipbuilding material, therailway adds much directly to localtrade. Its existence is a powerfulinducement for shipping in theseseas to call at this port for neededrepairs; also for vessels trading be-

tween this and foreign ports to haveworks of renovation done here thai,without such a convenience, theywould require to go to San Franciscoor elsewhere to have accomplished.When it is considered that vesselswhile waiting for repairs are themeans of circulating money fromoutside sources, in addition to theexpenditure of the railway work-

men's wages in the shops, the im-

portance of the work, in.lhat respectalone, to the city needs no magnify-ing. As a convenience for inter-islan- d

shipping, which was one ofthe main objects held in view by theprojectors of the enterprise, therailway has been a boon of incalcula-ble value. It would be needless togo into particulars to prove thismanifest advantage of having such awork established in the chief port ofthe kingdom.

The Honolulu Marino Railway isa monument to the statesmanlikeforethought, public spirit and enter-prise of the Hon. Samuel G. Wilder.In the year 1880 the Government ofthis kingdom,Jof which Mr. Wilderwas Premier and Minister of theInterior, advertised in England,America, France and Sweden, forestimates from engineers for cithera dry dock or marine railway atHonolulu. Of all the responses re-

ceived the estimates of Mr. HoraceI. Crandall, forwarded through theHawaiian Consulate of Boston, wereaccepted. In April, 1SS1, Mr.Crandall arrived here to make thenecessary surveys. 'After an ex-

amination of the harbor and itsbottom he reported to the authoritiesthat a stationary dry dock was im-

practicable, on account of the coralformation, that would form its lloor,being so porous that it would be im-

possible to keep it dry, even at anenormous expense for pumping. A(loating dry dock was also out ofthe question on account of the cir-

cumscribed limits of the harbor. Amarine railway was therefore decidedupon by the Government, and Messrs.Wilder & Co. contracted to build it,the bead of the linn having in themeantime retired from His Majesty'sCabinet. Of course, Mr. Crandallwas selected as engineer, and inview of his record, particularly as a

submarine engineer, it would in-

deed have been dillicult to havefound a better man. la the year18o-l- , while living at New Bedford,Massachusetts, he invented an im-

proved style of marine railway,since known as "Crandall's PatentMarino Hallway." Up to the timeho became known here, Mr. Cran-dall had built no less than twenly-thre- e

of these railways on the coastsof North and South America, fromNorth Sydney in Nova Scotia toHucnos Ayres, Argentine Republic.In addition to these works, he hadbuilt an important bridge on one ofthe Pacific Railway lines, and wasfor a time propietory manager of acoal mine in Cape Breton, N. S.He was also the author of manymechanical inventions of great uti-

lity, and is a relative of Mr. JamesCrandall, of the United States, theinventor of the famous and ingeni-ous "Crandall's Toys,"

The work of construction wasbegun on the railway on February11th, 1882. A large amount ofmaterial for filling up the ground onthe site being required, it was ne-

cessary to build a land railway fromthe spot to the base of Punchbowl.This work was accomplished underthe mechanical superintendence ofMr. James Lyle, who had been em-

ployed as foreman of the works.' He had been Mr. Crandall's fore-

man, many years previous, in the' construction of the Buenos Ayres

marine railway, and also in laterworks of the same kind at otherplaces. Mr. Crandall came out Inthe same season from Canada, witha brigade consisting of two skilfuldivers, thirteen shipwrights accus-tomed to marine railway work, and

one mechanical engineer. So expe-ditiously was the work forwardedthat on (he first day of January,188!!, the railway was ready forbusiness.

The engines for the railway weremade at Geo. Forester &Co.'sworks. Liverpool, England, and allthe wrought iron work, chains, etc.,were made by Henry Wood & Co.,Liverpool. Oregon forests providedthe wood, the native woods beingtoo heavy, as well us difficult to getand work. The railway has acapacity for vessels of fifteen hun-dred tons with ballast. It cost inthe neighborhood of one hundredthousand dollars to build.

Upon the completion of the rail-

way it was leased for fifteen yearsfrom the Government by the Hon.Mr. Wilder. lie operated it suc-cessfully until Feb. of thepfesent year, when, with the per-mission of the Government, he madea transfer of the lease to Messrs.Sorenson & Lyle, the latter havingbeen superintendent of the worksfrom the start. Mr. Sorenson isthe veteran master shipwright ofthis port, having been engaged inmat uusincss ncre lor auoui --'iyears. Many a gallant craft has he"hove down, " when that was theonly method in vogue here, andtranslornied lroin the condition or amore or less battered and fouledhulk to her original seaworthiness.Mr. Lyle, his partner, has spent hiswhole life in shipyards and on dry-doc-

and marine railways. Hisfather was a leading ship-build- inNova Scotia, a country second tonone for the class of wooden shipsit sends forth, whoso sails speckevery sea with whiteness. Ship-building is therefore second natureto both members of the firm nowoperating the Honolulu Marine Rail-way. Ample stocks of material arcalways at hand, and shipowners andmasters sending vessels away fromhere for rehabilitation cannot possi-bly fare any better in obtaining therequired services elsewhere. Everyfacility is here provided for ship andboat building and repairing. As noslight guarantee to the safety of theworks and the assurance of promptservice thereupon, the fact may bestated that from the beginning ofoperations to the present time therehas been no mishap of any kind onthe railway. A thorough ship'sblacksmith, in the person of Mr.Hugh Monro, is employed at theworks constantly, and his executionof any kind of ship's forging cannotbe excelled in workmanship. Thenthe Honolulu Iron Works can always,in an emergency, provide any ordi-nary metallic fittings of a ship, sothat on the whole this port is ex-

ceedingly well equipped for repair-ing ships.

For the benefit of readers whomay not know what a marine railwaj'is, a word of description will not beout of place. It is an inclined rail-way, descending from a repairingshipyard into deep water. A heavyplatform with high frames at thesides, called the cradle, slides uponseries of rollers running in groovesin ironclad timber rails. A systemof chains connected with powerfulsteam winches is employed to let thecradle down into deep water andhaul it up again. When the cradleis run out into a sufficient depth,the vessel to be hauled up is floatedbetween the arms of the cradle.Then a system of movable blocks,worked by cranks from the tops ofthe cradle frames, grasps the hull ofthe vessel, and the cradle and itsburthen are drawn up high and dry.

THE CIRCUS OPENING.

The Circus gave a very successfulperformance last night, to a large, audi-ence. Extra chairs had to be provided,and latecomers had to stand. After tiicband overture comic specialties, some ofwhich were very laughable, and acrobatfeats of great dexterity were performed.Musical nonius by L. Shillito was im-

mense, the oddest Instruments imagin-

able, such as old cans and bottles, being

iied. Above all the acting of the ani-

mals was marvellous: they evinced al-

most human intelligence. The horsesdisplayed a piccision in military drillmovements that would not discreditveteran soldiers. Other feats of thetrained milords were equestrianism bydogs mill goats; rope skipping andcannon llring by a pony, and many oper-

ations by horses and dogs which wouldbe dillicult even for men. ''Circus rid-

ing exposed," the last piece, sent thecrowd home sore with laughter.

VIEWING THE RANCHES,

(Editorial Correspondence of' theIhillctin.)

It was not n gay not a ery impos-ing cavalcade that iodo tip Kingstreet, yesterday afternoon, in thrdirection of the ranches on tin- - Witi-uln- a

road. It may have been itlough anil inggt'il looking proces-sion, and many 11 nativp man andwoman may have giggled heartily atthe way the editorial and reportorialbtpiatl straddled their steeds. Uittwhat of all that? It would be in-

justice to other great iniiitN to sajthat the intelleel, the journnlbtiemind, and the orauilar wisdom ofthe city was. all earned away on thehacks of the prancing foi til-

ing that modest cavalcade. Never-theless, be it not fotgotten that allthe intellect, all the journalisticmind, and all the oracular wisdomof the city did not remain in it, afterthe aforeaid cavalcade parsed outof town. So much has been writtenof late iibont homestead laws, mixedindustries immigration, and kindredtopics, and chielly in the lit i.i.rm,that a party was formed, consistingof representatives of the lit i.i.i.ns,the Advertiser, the (iu::elte, and thetSuturdin Pres.i to go out in a body,explore the coiiutrv , and thereafterwrite it up or down as it may requite,but from the standpoint of pergonalobservation. In case the scribes ofnewspapertlom might exaggeratetheir observations on the country, ormight perhaps be inspired by goodhorses and good victuals to seeeverything through uxe-colore- d

spectacles, the oiiginalors of theexpedition took the wise precautionof inviting our learned and judiciousfriend the Fort Sttect Professor tocome light along, too. Without anyvain trumpeting, it may be safelyasserted that in the party were justthe right men in the right places.OneoT the party had ridden overthe moorlands and some of the greatagricultural estates of Scotland andIreland, had seen the hills and fer-

tile glades of New Zealand, andknew California like a book ; anotherhad ridden his mustang up and downthe slopes' of the Nevadas and thePacific Coast, another had seen thehedgerows and gieat garden farmsof Old England, doubled CapeHorn, and seen the vegetation andthe products of many climes, andyet another out of the colder regionsof the tcinncrate zones and fromthe "Valley of Kvangelinc" wheregrow the finest apples in the world,had personal observation for manyyears of the excellent results ofsmall farm homesteads occupied bytree and independent ruial popula-tions; and with all these varied ex-

periences, there are the superaddedobservations made by the professorin Japan and America. The pallyrode on, here pacing cautiouslydown a steep incline, made some-

what rough by the wash ol recentfreshets, theie breaking into a gal-

lop over magnificent roads, andanon drawing rein to look abroad atthe glorious view of mountain andvalley spread aiountl. Mile uponmile of taro and rice fields heavilyirrigated by the mountain streamsmeet the view seaward: while hind-war- d,

great tracts of rolling uplandextend far away in the distance tothe liases of the Niiiiiiuii mountains.Herds of cattle, sheep and goats areseen far and near on the heightsand slopes ol theseundulations. The soil is all of areddish color, and is evidently ofvolcanic origin. Those of the partywho ought to be the best connois-

seurs of soils, express themselvesas astonished at its evident richness.It is a soil that might be utilized forany kind of agricultural pioducts.For whatever purposes the landmight be ultilized, the fact s0oubegins to grow upon the whole partythat these lands have not been uti-

lized beyond the requirements oflimited pastoral enterprises. Theparty rides on, but the evidences ofagricultural enterprise and the re-

sults of the labor of an agriculturalpopulation do not appear, except inthe taro and rice fluids already men-

tioned. To sav that the people areidle and thriftless is no libel onanyone, for there are no people.About half a dozen dwelling houses,and a small party of Chinese nav-

vies working on the road and two orthree ranchmen ambling on theirponies on a solitary hill top, are theonly signs of human life to benoted on the wayside during a rideof some six or (ven miles. Hereis the country, and a magnificentcountry withal, but wheie are thepeople? From home? Where arethe homes? Not a roof to be seenin all those Hue expanses of hill andvalley with a rich deep soil of allbut unlimited possibilities of pro-

duction. "Wo have been taught thenow stereotyped lesson in geographythat this earth with all its continentsand islands was created to be thehabitation of man, and no doubt theHoard of Education inculcates tu,samo theory, through the authorizedtext books' of the national schools,into the minds of the youth growingup here. Passing up the AVaialua

road, observation does everythingbut corroborate the utilitarian theoryof the earth's existence in so far asit applies to this island, if observa-tion is anything, ami fccicntbts say

it is everything, these hills andglndcs go to prove that nt least theisland of Oahu has been pervertedfrom its original purpose in theeconomy of nature, and that sonicone had blundered." inasmuch aslaige area of its best lands aredevoted to the sustenance of thecow. the ox and the goat, the peopleto shift for themselves as hest theycan about the docks and streetcorners of Honolulu. Where culti-vation appear, it proves an unmis-takably grand success. Whereverinipiovenients break up the soil, thesoil give manifold returns. Com-

ing over the brow of one of thehills, an immense structure appearsin the distance. It reminds the ob-

server of the bridges over some ofthe mountain gorges on the line ofthe Union and Central L'acillc 1 s.

It turns out to be Kobinson'sirrigating Hume, running along ontrestle work over a wide gorge atthe bottom of which is the Waipahustream and spring. The road leadsdown towards the water, and passesunder the highest part of the trestlebridge, the flume at the roadwaybeing apparently about eighty feetoverhead. Right by the road is abig pump for raising the water tothe Hume. It is brought by thisconduit to Robinson's banana plan-tation, covering about tlfty acres ofland at I'lalena. There is an opin-ion among the natives that thisAVai-pah- u

stream has subterranean con-nection with Kahtiku. In supportof this theory the story goes that awoman at Kahuku accidentally leta tapa stick fall into the water, andall efforts to recover it proved futile,but some time afterwards being atKvva, she saw her lost tapa stick andaccused the possessor of havingstolen it, but the alleged pilfererwas acquitted on proving that thestick had been picked up in theWaipahu stream. The "fourthestate " cavalcade passes on, andafter another hour's equestrianism,that by this time is beginning to bemore painful than romantic to somemembers of the party, the Ilonouli-ul- i

ranch is readied, horses aretaken care of, the pressgang, pro-fessor and all, are shown to wellfurnished apartments, and everyman is hospitably directed to makehimself perfectly at home. A sump-tuous dinner soon follows, the soupand fowl are excellent, and the fish,a line l'apiopioulua, is simply magni-ficent. In next letter, von will havean attempted account of a two days'ride over the great Honouliuli ranch,covering a tract of about Hi. 000acres.

CONTRACT LABOR.

Tin: Ni:vv Dmuinriti: or Tin: (iov-I'l.Avir.- iis

i:itVMi:vr Opinion's p

AND iUr.Kl HANI'S.

Yesterday a representative of thelii'i.i.cuv took a brief round amongplanters' agents and business men,to ascertain their views upon the.Minister of the Interior's pronun-ciament- o

upon contract laborers.Mr.ssits. Hwian linos, were of

opinion that the new arrangementstrenched upon the province of ourown courts. The planters, havingadvanced large sums of money tothe (Soveriiiuent for the expenses oflabor immigration, would scarcelybe disposed to submit the contractsto the interpretation of foreignagents. If our local courts werenot competent to deal with labordisputes, it devolved upon the(Soveriimeut to make tliein so.

Mil Tn 1:0. II. Davip.s believedthe (loverniueiit were doing thebest they could to give the plantersacceptable labor. It was necessaryto do something to keep desirablelaborers in the country. He wassatisfied the Government's policy,in the matter in question, washonestly conceived for the benefitof the planter as well as the laborer.

Mi:. A. .1. OAirrvvisKiiiT, Sit.,said the deliverance of the Ministerof the Interior seemed, at first sight,simply to be the formulation of lawsalready in existence, liefore pro-

nouncing positively upon it, hethought it better to await action bythe Planters' Convention, as theplanters were the most competentjudges in the case. It seemed onthe whole, however, to bo a goodmove on the part of the Govern-ment. Possibly under the newarrangements it might be dilllcultto deal sullleiently promptly withoffenses on the plantations, that is,unless the Commission is to be onthe ground all the time,

A (.p.NTi.p.MAN, who afterward de-

sired that his name should not ap-

pear, answered the reporter's queryin the Scotch fashion by asking,"What is there in it?" Thereseemed to him to be nothing new inthe document, but it might havevalue in directing people's attentionto (lie fact that we have labor laws.

Mit. P. C, Josp.s, one of the trus-tees of the Planters' Company,thought the declaration of the Min-

ister had an arbitrary look, as theplanters took the laborers undercertain conditions, and now a riderwas placed upon those conditions.However, the Trustees of the Plan-

ters' Company had a meeting yes-

terday and decided to await a legalopinion upon the matter. They ad-

journed until Wednesday next forthat purpose, lie would also prefer

V

not to pronounce positively uponthe new arrangements until then.

Mn. Hi'A'ttY AVATEiuiorsn hadread the document casually, andthought it very good. There oughtnot to bo any clashing between em-

ployers and the Government uponthe matter. The scheme wouldknock the idea of shivery right out,.

Mn. !'. P. Adavis had remarkedto our representative the previousda" that he believed the announce-ment of His Kxeelleney was a goodmove. Further consideration lefthim of the ame mind, lie thoughtit would have a very beneficialeffect. The Government, he said,should have full credit for a goodthing.

Mn. Jo.na. Alstin, Piesidcnt ofthe Planters' Company, naturally,in uv of the action of the trusteesyesterday, preferred to reserve hisopinions.

Mit. J. 11. Athp.iiton", a trustee ofthe Planters' Company, believed thenew departure would 'be a benefit,provided final appeal is not to be. toJapan. That in reality involved theindependence of this kingdom. Iffinal arbitrament of plantationtroubles vested in Japan, then thequestion would be whether llicyneeded Japanese labor so much thatthey must take it with the restric-tions prescribed by the JapaneseGovernment. The prevention ofpetty complaints being reported indetail to the Japanese Government,if that object should be attained bythe Commissions, would be a benefit,lint that result, as well as the otherdeclared object of avoiding litiga-tion here, would depend entirelyupon the kind of men to he placedupon the Commissions.

Ax IIox. Nom.i: regarded themeasure as an unjust one to theplanters, as it added onerous termsto the contracts under which thelaborers were employed, liesides.it was an infringement upon theprerogatives of the cotuts of thiskingdom, to admit the arbitramentof foreign agents between mastersand servants. It would be a verybad state of affairs to have laborersimbued with the notion that the)"controlled the situation. Of courseit was well to interfere against undueviolence toward the laborer, but itwas going too far, he thought, toprohibit any laying on of hands byoverseers. Often it was necessaryto stimulate a. sense of duty in anincorrigibly lazy, stubborn or other-wise vicious fellow with a push. Itwould be out of all reason to have acontract voided upon so slight a pre-

text as that. The Governmentwould go far enough when it pro-

vided couits of law, in the differentdistricts, which could bo dependedupon t'o discreetly and faithfullyadminister the ample laws now onthe statute books for the protectionof the laborers. The Noble spokehighly of the judgment exercised byMr. Canavarro, Portuguese Com-missioner, in his dealing with com-

plaints by laborers of his nationality,discriminating so accurately betweenreal and imaginary grievances as tosecure the settlement of disputeswith the least possible amount offriction. He bolievcd Mr. Nakn-yam- a,

the supplementary Japaneseagent, to be a man of good judgment, who would not encourage hislaboring countrymen here in makingfrivolous complaints.

Mu. F. A. Sciiai:pi:k said lie hadnot had time as yet to fully considerthe declaration in question, or toexchange views with others upon it.One difficulty that occurred to himas possible, in carrying out the newarrangements, would be the securingof prompt action by the Inspectors.Unless a sufficient number of thesewere appointed to have one for eachDistrict, which would involve greatadditional expense to the country,there might be delay in having dis-

putes settled. The laws already inexistence protected the laborersagainst improper usage, and everychange made in them for a numberof years past has been to the ad-

vantage of the laborers. AVhilc theGovernment were doubtless actuatedbv the best intentions in the matter.he believed the objects in viewcould better be attained by havingl citable Justices appointed in all theDistricts. Salaries should be at-

tached to those positions whichwould secure the services of thor-oughly efllcient men.

THE ISSUING OF LIQUOR LICENSES ON

THE OTHER ISLANDS.

rOMMtMl ATF.tl.J

Government, by consent of thePrivy Council, litis decided lo grantlicenses to retail ipiriltioits liquorsin localities on those Islands oilierthan Honolulu. Much lias been saidand written in a desultory manner inopposition to the policy, with butlittle apology for the action, or in

vindication of those on whom theresponsibility rebts.

Those estimable, astute,, and de-

termined men have their Mipportcrs,and a paper to champion their eauc,so thai, if thought necessary bythem, this particular act could bepublicly defended by means alwaysto their hand. It h therefore to beunderstood at the outset that what-

ever statements appear in this paper,whatever arguments may be employ-ed, or recognized authorities produc-ed, they are not to be taken as anintended defense of the Covern-men- t,

but as part of a calm enquiryinto the subject matter, i.e., wheth-er the granting of these licenses islawful, and if lawful, expedient.That is the question we have, toexamine ; but befoie doing so it willbe well lo take a cursory view of thevirtue of temperance, of the strictduty of all men to practise, it, andof the manner in which the duty isperformed by some opponents ofGoverr ncnl in this matter.

Temperance would appear to beunderstood by some of those op-

posed to the issue of licenses, to bofound only in the total prohibitionof the use of fermented liquors toevery member of every grade ofsociety. That, however, does notagree with the writer's view of tem-

perance, but would ba the enforce-ment of total abstinence on. in mostcases, unwilling recipients. It isundoubtedly the duty of every manto practise temperance and temper-atenes- s

in all the relations and occu-

pations of life, not only in the use oftormented liquors and the avoidanceof gluttony in eating, but in speak-ing or writing, in amusement, pleas-ure, or anger. Before proceedingfurther it will be well to notice amidispose of a fallacy too frequentlyurged by certain advocates of totalprohibition, by which the virtue tem-

perance, it might be added the maj-esty of truth itself, is insulted; thisis that the Mine mentioned in holywrit was devoid of spirit, and con-sequently innocent of causing in-

toxication. So far from this beingthe case, it will be found, on thecontrary, that from the eailicst timeof which we have any recoid winewas in common use and possessedintoxicating qualities, and that itwas used when vicious designs weioharoorcd, to carry them out. Thuswe find that 2:547 years tt. C, Noahplanted a vineyard and not onlydrank of the wine but was madedrunk by it. Again we find thatLot's two daughters made theirfather drunk with wine. The evi-

dence that the wine of antiquitypossessed intoxicating qualities toall who bel'cve in revealed religionwill be found in abundance. A studyof the book of Proverbs and otherwritings of Solomon fully prove thetruth of that predicate. The Apos-tle Paul, in the lOlli chapter oi thecpistlcto the Uomans, says, "Lot uswalk honestly as in the day, not inrioting and drunkenness" in thel,st Corinthians, G'th chapter, ".Neith-er thieves nor covetous nor drunk-ards shall inherit the King-dom of God;" again, Ephesians,5th Chapter, "And be not drunkwith wine wherein is excess."

So we find by holy writ not onlythat the wine of those days contain-ed spirit, but that it was of generaluse, and was furnished by the Sav-

iour, the incarnate God, to His fol-

lowers and disciples. Is any oneprofessing to be Christian preparedto say that what lie did was wrong,or could bo improved upon? I

think not. The fault, then, is notthe lawful and innocent use of winebut over-indulgen- in it. Few ornone will be found to deny that

is an atrocious vice.Why, then, the outcry that we

hear in these days against liquordrinking and selling? "Why thesedenunciations against those who inthese matters think for themselvesand arc content to range themselvesin the ranks of those who through-out all ages hare thankfully acceptedand enjoyed tin bltssings bestowedby an allwise and beneficent Creator,seeing that they are also taught bytho same holy writ that every manmust bear his own burden, and ac-

count for himself and all his acts?Surely those denunciations againstmen who are within the bounds ofreason and rcceired morality are un-

called for until a new code is made,and accepted by the mass of man-

kind, as being better than that whichhas universally ruled from the re-

motest time of which wo have anyaccount up to the present day ; butwould not those adopting such acode of necessity be obliged to ab-

jure tho title of believer and fol-

lower of Christ, inasmuch as theybrand his acts with tho stamp ofimmorality and guilt? The menInaking those denunciations, it ap-

pears to the writer, could with muchmore reason is this respect avowthujisclvcs devoted followers of the

fanatical impostor Mahomet thandevoid Christians.

Kvery man has certain rights, oneof which is that now under discus-sion, of which no majority be it everso great can properly or lawfullydeprive him. The creed he shouldprofess might just as righteously bedictated to him. But ceitain per-sons calling themselves temperancemen have banded together pro-fessedly for the purpose of enforcinguniversal abstinence from all fer-

mented liquors. They arc in oppo-sition to customs of the remotestantiquity. They have no regard forthe rights of individuals. They setthemselves up as judges and dicta-tors, and would, if they could,coerce every one who presumes tothink for himself into their way ofthinking and acting. They wouldreduce all to thorough mental sub-

mission, making men nothing morethan automatons. They would chokedown that feeling of individualitywhich should actuate every memberof tlit! commonwealth, and makemen and legislatures mere materialto spread their mistaken view of re-

generating the world by ridingroughshod over it with their hobby,careless of the evils certain to growout of their and despoticmeasures. One of the greatest evilswould be the demoralization certainto arise from the success of the at-

tempt to enforce their views. Thecorruption thai would ensue wouldbe appalling. The setting at naughtof the law would find constant em-

ployment for the police, more per-haps than Hie searching for opium.

Many of those gentlemen who arcso enthusiastic on the subject of to-

tal abstinence are themselves mostintemperate when they give reins totheir llights of imagination. Theyvirtually say we are virtuous andgood who practise total abstinence

you are evil and poor lost crea-tures who will none of it. Manyof the stories of crime and destitu-tion one reads in the papers deotcdto this kind of literature are so pal-

pably exaggerated that they destroytheir own evidence. They carry theantidote to their own poison. No-

body believes them. Even' oneknows that in them the exceptionis presented as tho rule, the indi-

vidual as the universal.It is certain that drunkenness is

both sinful against our Creator andcriminal as regards ones self andfamily, and frequently as regardsour neighbor. The unfortunate ad-

dicted to drunkenness of cour.se neg-

lects his business, and is on the highro.id to ruin. His diameter andcredit suffer; and eventually, unlesshe abandon hi-- , foolish course ofprolligaoy sottishuess, failure anddestitution must be the lot of him-

self and all dependent on him, withscarcely any hope of recovery, fordrunkenness long indulged in, be-

comes at last a terrible diseasetyrannizing with almost absolute andinvisible malevolence and force overits unfortunate victim.

It is further true that in manycases as a man finds himself fallingfrom excessive inintoxicating drink, he will resort toarts to sustain himself or to findmeans for further indulgence whichat last plunge him deeper still intoirremediable ruin. This is all verysad, but undeniably very true. Buthow docs the trouble arise'1' Fromthe lawful use of fermented liquors,or from their unlawful use? Forthat they can be and have been law-

fully used from time immemorial wehave already seen. "We havealo seen that they have beenunlawfully used with evil con-

sequences. But this circumstanceby no means authorizes one man orany number of men to forbid thelawful use of these liquors to everyone or any one else. The injurycomes, God's laws are broken, notby the lawful use of those drinks,but by their abuse. They areabused by man's depraved tastes,his weakness of character, and some-times by his determined plunge intodissoluteness. But the abuse ofwhich wa are speaking is a rarematter compared with the lawfuluse ; aud to put a stop to tlii3 in

order to prevent that is not onlybut absurd so, at least,

it appears to the writer altogetherbeyond the hounds of reason.

The sure way to stop drunken-ness is to refine man's tastes, tostrengthen his character, movo himby the force of good examples, turnhim from a life of carelessness, in-

dolence or profligacy to the practiceof Christian virtue. When you havedone that, be assured you have putan end lo diunkenuess in the indi-

vidual. Perhaps, the reclaimeddrunkard may become a convert totins doctiineof total abstinence inhis own person. If so, so much thebatter, for the ut he prac-tises is exemplary aud may Influenceothers. But tins newly-foun- d vir-

tue by no means authorizes its for-

tunate possessor to impose it on hisneighbor any more than the inno-

cent use of wine or beer would jus-

tify the innocent user in inflictingthe custom on his unwilling neigh-

bor. One does not refuse to teacha child to speak in order to preventlying, or ribald or piofaue language,but no one can by any possibility beunnwai e how general arc these vices ;

nor is writiug not taught in order toprevent the commission of forgery:

but cither of these courses would beequally as reasonable as the pieven-tio- n

of using the intellect and free-dom of will in guiding any one inwhat he should cat or drink. Thefact is enticements lo deviate fromthe straight and narrow way aboundevery day on every hand, drunken-ness being one, but it is men's dutyto avoid thcin one aud all, and tepersist in pursuing the one straightcourse. It is u common thing forevil doors, when about lo sufferpunishment for their evil deeds, toattempt to excuse themselves bylaying all the blame on drink. Thatis but a lame attempt at exculpation.They should not have taken the firststeps in vice and crime, or havingtaken thcin, should have retracedthem on discovery of their down-wa- ul

course. It was not drink thatled them astray, but their own aban-donment of judgment and reason.Jt is lor self-hel- p and the govern-ment of the appetites and passionsthat reason is given to man. It isfor the same purposes that he iseducated. Those evil doers justnow mentioned, if they did not de-

liberately and intentionally go as-

tray, fell by for-

getting that self-contro- ll is a duty tobo practiced by every man. Lt ispreposteious to propose the punish-ment of the whole community forthe weaknesses or offenses of someindiTiduals. Those who undertakeit will sooner or later discover thatthey have on their hands a taskwhich they will never succeed inmastering.

It has been said and repeatedhundreds of times by the advocatesof compulsory total abstinence, sooften indeed that it would be un-charitable not to believe them sin-

cere, that those who partake offermented liquors, Ilawaiians in par-ticular, destroy themselves thereby,that this addition has caused therapid decrease in the population thathas been going on since the adventof civilization to these islands; and,therefore, that it is the duty of everyone to obstain in order that thecursed article strong diink, liquiddamnation as it has been called bywould-b- e ultra reformers, should befor ever banished from these so to beblessed shores. Fallacious reason-ing on a mistaken statement of facts.It is not drunkenness but a totallydifferent vice that has reduced thispeople to a mere fraction of what itwas at. the commencement of thiscentury. Those who have livedamong the people can lell a differ-ent tale. Whoie drunkenness haskilled its units licentiousness has des-

troyed its hundreds or thousands. Ithas been pitiable to sec healthyyoung persons who should have pro-longed their lives for decades ofyeais, fall like leaves by the waysideand disappear from sight fiom theunmistakable effects of this vice,leaving none to represent or succeedthem.

Why, it was but the other daythat permission to use fermenteddrinks was granted to native Ilawai-ians. How then is it that if prohi-bition is a blessing to be followed bygood results, these results have notalready been found here, when forforty or fifty years, as regards na-

tives, it has had unlimited sway, butwhere, as wc have seen, the popula-tion has decreased one-ha- lf in halfa century or a little more. During agreat pait of Ibis time natives, espe-cially in country places, have beento a certain degree abstainers, butstill the dreadful inortalilj' went on.It is true that now and then incountry districts numbers would joinand go through an orgie on ferment-ed oranges or other fruitor vegetable ;

it has also been said that scenes ofthe most atrocious character, so foulas to be totally unfit for desciiption,were enacted in Honolulu itself,caused by the furtive illicit consump-tion of vile compounds made andsold by unprincipled men most ofwhom weie foreigners. But theseimpurities were a direct consequenceof the prohibitory law. Happilythey arc past, the remembrance ofthem only remaining. The numerousstills which were dotted over thocountry were also n consequence ofthe same law, but from them, to thebenefit of public morality, we havegood reason to believe the island ofOahu has been lately freed. Howcan this bo accounted for but by thelegalizing of the sale of these liquorson this island. Will not, therefore,the legalizing of the sale on theother islands have a similaily bene-ficial effect? This question deservesconsideration. Honolulu and itsvicinity has been inoie thickly settledthan perhaps any other part of thoislands, especially as regards foreign-ers. Consequently there was a bet-

ter market in aud near the capitalfor contraband goods than in anyother pait of the country. It didnot pay those who made a businessof illegal distillation to run the iiskof detection and punishment whenfermented liquors could bo easilyprocured. As toon, theiefore, asthe sale was legalized the surrepti-tious manufacture and sale wereabandoned, the. uiaikct being lost.

It is only fair to infer that thesame lesult will follow tho same pro-

cedure in other places, piovidcd thesame conditions prevail. That someof them do is notorious. Hear whatAttorney-Gener- al Armstrong said inhis report to the Legislature of

1882: "This (illicit distilling) iscarried on in many places. Hollithe Chincso and natives are engagedin it. It is carried on in remoteplaces which arc difficult lo find.The gical profits in it enable thosewho carry on the business either losuppress all evidence, or bribe theolllcers in the distant districts. Insome paits of the Kingdom the peo-ple unite to oppose any preventionof this illicit tiade. The only wayto suppiess it is by employing asuperior order of men for policeduty." With regard to illicit fellingthe same gentleman said, "convic-tions for the offense of illicit selling,arc constantly made, but it is sodifficult to obtain evidence that thegreat majority of those who are en-

gaged in the business arc not de-

tected and punished." There isneither ambiguity nor hesitationhere. There is no mistaking whatis meant. The continuation of thestory was made to the Legislatuieof 1881 in equally emphatic terms.This slate of affaiis has been ad-

duced by the Government as a reasonfor legalizing the issuance of licensesto the other islauds.

But other conditions are neces-sary to render the legalized business

not lucrative, which it can not bewith present high rates of licenseand duties but simply paying forthe time and outlay incurred by theperson embarking in it. Is the popu-lation in the country districts suffi-

ciently large to support a publichouse, or if the name should be pic-ferrc- d

by some gentlemen, a rumshop? In the opinion of the wiiter,in most cases it is not. The pcisontaking out a license in most of thedistricts in which licenses are legal-ized would in all ptobability wasteboth time and money. The peopledo not require such an establishment.They would not patronize it. Theyhave not the means. They arc regu-lar hard workers at a not high rateof wage. They have not time ormoney to waste in a public house,nor, being under eontiact, wouldtheir employers suffer them so towaste their time, even were they everso inclined. The supporters of apublic house arc generally found ina large floating population, beingmen of no fixed habits, loungers,fond of gossip, earning easily and atirregular intervals the money theyget, and spending it as they get it.This is not the chat actor ot menwinking on plantations. Piovisionsof the law not easily circumventedprevent any one fiom ruining him-

self by frequenting those houses, astrust bills can not be collected, andthe keeper of the house is liable to aheavy penalty should he take any-

thing but cash iu payment for hiswares. This is going about as farin the way of protection as is com-

patible with the fieedoui of actionwhich is the natural and constitu-tional right of every man. Educa-tion and intelligence must have someinfluence in directing lives and ac-

tions. Men are not to be used asmachines or treated like dumb ani-

mals, nor is their individuality to beswamped by some few others, well-nieani-

no doubt, but who hare notmonopolized all the sense and con-

scientiousness in the world.Would-b- e ultra reformers, who

would deprive a whole communityof what are ncccssaiies for many, inorder to put an end to

in a few, should rememberthat the strongest nations from timeimmemorial used fermented liquors,and that the strongest men aminations of the present day do notabstain from them. It has neverbeen shown that the vitality of anypeople has been injured by theirlawful use. On the contrary, it hasbeen precisely in those countrieswhere they have been freely usedthat the populations have most in-

creased. Wine was said to havebeen made from rice by ChiugNoung, Emperor of China, 1008years B. C. The ait of making winewas said to have been brought fromIndia to Egypt by Bacchus at a veryremote date. A colony of vine-

dressers from Ionia settled at Marseilles about COO years B. C, audtaught the people of South Gaul theart of cultivating the vine, Ale wasknown as a beverage at least 100years B. C. It is mentioned bothby Herodotus and Zenophon ; andsince those times has been in continuous use by Anglo-Saxon- s, Danos,and Germans. Pliny, the great na-

turalist who polished at Pompeii A.D. 70, says, "All the western nationsof Europe have a liquor made ofcorn and water with which they in-

toxicate themselves."Since Eve ate tho apple there have

been in all ages of the world, crowdsof men, who, with their eyes open,icgardless of unceasing warnings ofimpending punishment for persist-ence in their vicious courses, havesystematically abused the gifts oftheir Creator. They must bear theconsequences, however bitter, oftheir own acts. Society will neitherwillingly submit lo vicarious auduseless punishment on their account,nor tolerate the resuscitation of gi-

gantic evils having their oiigin in aprohibition that has but lately beenannulled,

Our fathers drank ale and wine intheir day; they were strong men,aud thoso who lawfully use the samebeverages at the present time arenot behind total abstainers either in

sticngth of body or mind. If com-pared with nations of total abstainers

Mohomolans he would bo a boldman who would decline, that eitherIn mental or physical ability the fol-

lowers of the apostle of total abstin-ence aic their equals.

The wiiter, then, has come to theconclusion that the issuing of licensesfor the sale of fermented liquors isa wholesome measure, and fuither,that - if pure light wines and alescould bo sold at a cheap rale in thiscommunity in place of ardent sphitsthey would, although at some lossto the revenuo, prove a blessing tothe people, by forwarding the causewhich upright men have at heartthe promotion of real temperanceand morality.

hibited.15. Foreign postage stamps, not being required here for post-

age, are not kept for sale at any post office.

1G. Anything in addition to an address written or printed on

the address side of postal cards renders them uninailablc.17. To insure a domestic letter being forwarded in the mails,
