The Hawaiian gazette., 1869-11-03

On Thursday evening, there was another
meeting at Kaumakapili Church, pursu-
ant to adjournment. The meeting was
promptly called to order, at the time ap-
pointed, by the Chairman-William Claude
Jones, Esq..-who expressed his views
that the law might be so modified as to
avoid constitutional objections, and to
cover any case that might arise. He
thought that the subject should receive a
very careful consideration, SO that such
q result might be arrived at as no man in
this Kingdom could find fault with. Whilst
this gentleman was speaking, in courte-
Gus manner, which was quite creditable, and
when he had finished, the idea was forcibly
suggested to some of his hearers, that be
proposed to himself an immense task-to
frame a law so that no man in the King
dom " shall be able to find any fault"
The Colonel's talents, in this respect.
evidently transcend, in his own estimation,
those of any other man who has preceded
him in the long list of law-givers. One
naturally reflected, too, in this way This
gentleman, and some other new lights,
are now advising us that these laws are
contrary to the Constitution. How is it
that it never occurred to the trainers
of the Constitution of 1882? 1t would
appear, if these men are right, that they
would have sure thing oft to bring case
before the Supreme Court, and get the case
declared unconstitutional, and thereby Sc
cure to themselves immortal fame and
honor for their discovery, and save them
selves an immensely of trouble.
Mr.. Jones recommended that the Sd
The Hawaiian gazette., 1869-11-03

Ii the public meetings, held of late,
mean anything, they mean that no more
Chinese, no more Manahikis, no more
labor Of any kind, shall be brought into
this Kingdom they mean that the foreign
population ought to remain as it is, and as
the demand for skilled labor falls off, the
income of the Mechanic and the Artisan
ought to be restored by protective duties.
Times are hard; demand for skilled
labor is slow; receipts of business of all
kinds is unsatisfactory, while cost of liv-
ing is comparatively high. Something
ought to be done to restore the good
times, and the mechanics who are said to
have been the soul of these late meetings
have declared the cause of this trouble to
be, competition-tbe farm laborers won't
remain farm laborers, therefore we will
have no more of them.
We don't object, they say, to a sponta-
neous immigration, which we very well
know will not come, and therefore do not
fear; but we do object to an immigration,
which will supply the fields of the agricul-
turalists, and the want of rude labor for the
country, by people who can be had, by fair
means and in just way. We are bound
to oppose the only methods by which such
immigration can be secured. We will cut
the tow-line and then the immigrant
ship may drift here if she can. The me-
chanics do not want what the farmers do
want, yet the interests of both these in
dustrial classes are allied and dependent
on each other.
There has come change in the business
of these islands. Whereas years ago, the
main bulk of our incomes was derived
from the yearly recruiting of hundreds of
whalers in our ports; the merchant his
profits, the mechanic his work, and the
day labOrer his wages now we must look
chiefly to the soil-to the ground which
will not yield its riches except to intelli
gent skill and persevering industry. Hence
the capital of these islands has been forced
to abandon the sea, except to limited
extent, and try its chances upon the land.
1t has begun to dig in the soil, and nobly
has it persevered through hundred dis
couragements, raising our exports in few
years from small figure, to about $1,000
900 annually. This employment of cap
ital is bringing back prosperity to our
islands; is developing our resources; is
building up our business on the true foun-
dation of wealth, and is turning golden
current to our shores that will increase in
volume and strength, if we do not play
the fool Good times follow in the wake
of successful agriculture, and good times
means increase of population, plenty of
work for labOrers and mechanics, and salts
factory profits to the merchant.
We speak advisedly when We say that
mechanics are cherishing the notion, that
the laborers on the sugar estates are inim-
ical to their prosperity, and that because
the planter must have them, therefore the
planter is inimicaI also; therefore, cut his
foundation from under him and let him
shift for himself In his self-seeking, the
planter win not only employ his men in
the fields, but teach them the higher sorts

of anything in the musical line ever
held in Northern Iowa. The an

from all parts of the State. The ex-
ercises will consist of instruction In
vocal culture as applied to church
music, gIee, chorus, solo and quartet
singing, with such practical remarks
or familiar lectures as the occasion
NAV demand. There will also be re-
bearsals with those who are to sing
solos or quartets, end possibly extra
meetings for teachers. Arrange

that IL is to be the great musical con-
vention Of Iowa, for 1859, and We

r.. X. BALLS EMPIRE SASH LOCK.
First Premium a Wdrtied otthe Ohio
State Fair, Sept, 1868. This lock
does away with all objections hereto
fore raised against Window Locks,
aud its superiority over all others
consists In the following reasons:
1t holds the sash up square at the
meeting rail, SO that the opposite
corner will not sag, thereby prevent
ing an opening at the top of the
window or Mt the meeting rail.
1t supports the window at any de.
sired height. and locks the sash at
the same time so that IL cannot be
forced open from the outside, and
proves to be an effective security
against the burglar and nightprcwler.
There is no cutting so rs to disfig-
ure the sash frame or casiDgs, nor
friction that will cause 1t to get out OF
order, and nothing to prevent it's
lasting as your dwelling.
IL Is simple as the old fashioned
door button, and Is used with as much
ease; you have the use of both hands
in raising your sash, which is OYER
ated with the same freedom as those
hung with cords and weights, the
sashes working entirely independent
of each other.
