Hawaii Holomua, Volume III, Number 181, 17 March 1893 — Untitled [ARTICLE]

T<»-diy is the h.rthd«y of King Karueh»raehai the Third. To the greet -tirprisc of every body f.irailiar with the republican and antim«.narchical 5entiment5 of our pr >visional -m9-culottes, the Miniēter of lnterior has ordered the day to be observed as a legal holldav as has been the custora under the alleg*-d effete and corrupt rovalist governraent. It is true thal there is a law on the statutes setring aside this day as a iegal holiday, but thal act could easi.v have been repealed by the gentlemen. stigraatiztd in their own j newspaper as forming a despotic oligarchy. The only reason we <an give for the unusual moder- j ation of the rainister in allowing the country to celebrate a King's birthday is that to-day is also the feast day of Councillor Morgan ! s , patron saint, Saint Patrick, and as j Jira is a power in the State it has undoubledly been considered wise to show such courtesy to hira and St. Pat. — A birth anniversary is alsobeing ! celebrated to-day by the President cf the—eh —thin>.'erabob-league Mr. J. A. Curarains, so between the friends of Kamehameha, the friends of J. A. C., and the fr-r-riends of Saint Mor-r-rgan, the day promises well. May the green flag wave foreverI The Hawaiian National Band 8erenaded the Queen this morning at her residence, Washmgton plaee. The new instruments are firstclass and it w»s a treat to hear the dear old band again. The boys will give a puhlie concertnext week whieh we know willbeappreciated by all lovers of good rausic. What a relief it will be from ihe provi8ional horn - blowers whieh drives the “Brofessor” crazy and (no wonder!) impairs the health of Pollinaris Jones. Wheu half-baked Hen-nery on j Wednesdav stated that, :f Unele Sara did not iramediately take us 1 uuder his wing. His Imperial Japaneae Majesty would. we could not exactly understand how he had caught on to the idea. But when he said yesterday that Sir Edwin Arnold had got the sarae idea from his acquaintance with Japanese female love!iness we caught on. Ob rie! Hen-neryl Tnere is soraething remarkable in the fact that when any poliee work is to be dnne, it has to be | done by some member of the despised Wilaon gang. The clever capture of the men who burglarized Mr. Cartwrighfs house by Mr. W. reflects great credit on this genlieman, who was eon- j aidered, beyond doubt, one of the ablest officers under the former regime. The Atiorney - General would of course never have given & eommiaaion to Larsen, so he eou ld work the eaae up, and the pros|>ecls are that Mr. Cartwright I would have been forced to mourn the loes of his jewelry for ever. A deterrained and urgent reqne«t from Mr. Cartwrigbt to be allowed to eelect his own detective induced Mr. Smith to sign a * hlank eom- . miaaion in whieh Mr. Lanen’a name waa inaerted and—the trick waa doue.

While we re?er to p>>lice-matters we will eall the attention of Mr. S;nith and ■.>** Marshal Ashley t > a most scandalous aot performed by s>me a few nights ago in transnorting a number of arrested opium sm kt r- >n ihe publ:c tramcar. We have never any where heard the lixe. A raid had been made s>>mewhere towards Waikiki and a tramcar was boarded in the eveuing ou Kiag street by a number of armed officers and their prisoner-. We have belore mentioned the outrage of allowing anned men t*> enter a puhlie eonveyance and shall say nothing more ab»ut it here, but we will emphasize the indecency and outrage in placing a uumber of scantily clad half stupefied Chinese prisoners in a c.>nveyance where ladies and children are. We do not expect that the new ofhcers employed by the Marshal are in possession of the suflicient intelligence or discretion to know better, but we appeal to the Attorney - General and the Marsnal to stop such procetdings at onee. We difl'er in politics from Mr. W. O. Smith, but we consider him a man of high moral standing, and we feel sure that he will correct this nuisance as soon as his aUention is called to the fact. Puhlie eihihilion of what is degrading and sensational shou!d be avoided 1at all hazards and it le every wbere in the world the rnle to avoid an uuhealthy pablic'ty of all matters pertaiuing to arrests, prisoners, and poliee matters generally. We have no doubt that the courteous superintendent of the tramcar company, Mr; Paine, upon reading this will immediately instruct his drivers and cooductors to refuse in tbe future to turn their cars into “Black Marias.” When the Advertiser man yesterday caMed Sir Edwin Arnold a third-rate poet he was undoubtedly working under the preseutiment of the arising of a poet of some far higher caliber. He has eome, and to-day we publish thefirstsong produced by him, upon the demise of the volunteer ! Fire Depanment under influence of the tearful wails of “no pooze” from the pallid and terror-stricken lips of "der ex-schief.” (Editor’s note: AIl this is a pooz’lle to us, but we hope our readers will catch ou.)
