A CORRESPONDENT, whose article we do
not publish at present, referring to the
Nupepd Kuokoa Of February 9th. and to
an article therein signed 'sVaccinator."
says: that it would seem to be better, to
inform the Secretary of the Board of Edu-
cation, in what district, at least, and if
possible, in what school, the occurrence
narrated, took place, for it is rather difficult
to correct abuses or misapprehensions of
duty, where no data are given, as to where,
or by whom, they are committed" He
adds, that this would be "a more direct way,
for any one, who has the good of the peo-
pie at heart, to meet an abuse, than by
first publishing wrong comments on the
law, and doing what is possible to mislead
the supplemented school-E aster, who may
be reader of the Kuokoa and believer
in the infallibility of types, and perhaps,
still firmerand quite unquestioning believer
in the infallibillty of the editor of that pa
per, and of his chief contributors, and then
publishing the misapprehensions of the
poor schoolmasters as instances Of the
of the law"
Our correspondent would seem, to ordi-
nary men, to be quite reasonable in this
matter, always provided that any such in
stances occur, which may or may not. But
if they are merely brilliant efforts of the
invented "to point moral
and adorn tale" merely introduced to
illustrate, then, don't you see, all the re-
marks are to be taken as indicating what
might happen, and not what did happen.
1t is true that it is said to have actually
happened, but no one is supposed to be-
lieye it.
The Hawaiian gazette., 1869-03-03

Of course, the chief item of expenses
was fuel. But during the time of her run
ming, there was only one party having coal
to sell, and the price paid was $50 per
ton, whereas coal can be laid down here
for $40 at the most. 1t is risky thing
for private person, in so shoal market
as this, to venture large sum in obtain
ing large supply of coal-which it would
take him very long time to get rid Of,
unless he should be sure of having steam
ers. or some other large consumers of that
kind of fuel for customers. Whilst an i'm
porter is disposing of a thousand or two
tons of coal here, interest and storage are
running on, and these, together with the
necessity of making profit, cause the
article to be very high. But with an as
surance Of running the ship, coal can be
laid down at half the price quoted, and
we feel assured that any company, who
will run the ship, can have assistance in
procuring the coal, at prime cost and
freight. This would make a change in
favor of the steamer of $1,000.
Again: if she is now put into thorough
repair before she begins to run, the repairs
on vessel and machinery, now quoted at
S3,972.05, would be very small. This item,
to which may be added that of 81 ,4O4, la
Dor, scaling boilers, etc.,-making total of
S5,376.05-was expended chiefly on boilers
and cleaning the same.
1t would seem that the receipt of S42,-
433 ought to leave a profit, somehow.
But can not the receipts be increased ?
not the Inconvenience arising from her
stopping, and the adverse influence on
business, sufficient to induce some arrange
ment among parties. by which she can be
set going, once more, with reasonable
prospect of success? The Government
are desirous of aiding, to the full extent of
the authority given. in this matter-and
of doing this in any manner most condu-
Give to success. But it must be obvious,
that if the business community, and the
public generally, do not see the necessity
of steam communication, and no plan can
be devised, by any ingenuity, to secure it
why, then, we must have the shame Of
admitting that no steam vessel can be
maintained here.

tunity given him. approved exceedingly of
the expedition, and was very DESTROYS Of
going but, having taken time for refec-
ton, concluded that his domestic circum-
stances were such being the only son of
parents advanced in life) that he deemed
it his duty to remain at home.
The community will see that the men,
bers of the Board had no reason, up to
this time, to be abashed, or to believe that
very general feeling of distrust prevails
in the religious and missionary element Of
our population. Before the sailing of this
expedition, the Board had canvassed thor
oughly. this element, asking suggestions
from all, and are prepared to say that no
more than two have expressed themselves
opposed to it. whilst many. very many of
the most rejecting and reliable men of
this class have expressed themselves as
earnestly in favor of trying it, both.from a
religious and philanthroplc, as well as
economical and political point of view.
Whether the natives of those islands
will leave "their homes, their missionaries,
and their chiefs" to engage in labor here,
whether they "wil leave their quiet homes
and gospel privileges (sic) to emmigrate (sic)
to country of different climate and Ian
guage, for the special benefits of the higher
Christianity, and more refining civilization
of our plantation drill" remains to be seen.
But we may be cheered with the reflection,
that they have heretofore done so, and are
now, in many instances, doing so. May it
not be some inducement for them, when
they know that some of those who have
been employed as missionaries in those
seas are settled here, and will be ready to
afford them their counsel and assistance?
May they not possibly suppose that their
"Gospel privileges will be as abundant
here, TO say the least of it? Is there any
place, where the same are more abundant?
About their quiet homes-of course, some
of us-are not well posted, and do not
know how quiet they are, or how much
they prize their quietness. We shall all
see, what we shall see.

ave are advised that the Ministry and the
friends of the measure have left no means
untried to secure the cooperation of the
Clergy and American Missionaries in carving
out the Act of the Legislative Assembly. and
we know that they have signally failed. At
least one clergyman was asked to proceed in
the vessel as the agent of the Board of I'm
migration Failing In this attempt and moth
ing abashed, the attempt is then made to
secure the services of one of the missionary
party, and negotiations proceed swimmingly
until the desired agent asks that be NAV be
allowed to nominate the captain who shall
command the vessel, doubtless feeling a
want of confidence as to the intentions of
the Board, and not caring to be made the
tool of designing men. The party is named,
man whom we know TO be well acquainted
with the islanders of this ocean, man
whose name and reputation would have dis
armed all suspicion as to the honest prosecu-
ton Of the voyage. Strange to say. the
Board drop the Intended agent and again
cast about for q person to take charge of the
expedition.
Having failed in securing a person from
out the ranks of the clergy or American
missionaries to give tone Of responsibility
to the scheme, the Ministry seek to obtain
letters from some one or more of them to
missionaries stationed at the islands which
they purpose visiting, and again they fail.
A very general feeling of distrust prevails in
the religious and missionary element of our
population "-R C. Adusrtiser, Ft6 20.

ton Of the Maxnaloa.

great commendation, that any one, to
whose conduct any measure has been COM

the services of reliable and competent men,
whether clergymen or Others, and as such,
the extract above must be taken. The
measure alluded to, as is already fully
known. was not introduced into the Legis-
lative Assembly as Government measure,

himself, and carried, truly. with the concur

Mr. EDIToR.-It is gratifying to large
portion Of, not only "this community" but
to the people Of the islands at large, that the
question Of steam communication, between
the islands, is being agitated in a manner
which promises, that at no distant day, we
shall see our old friend the Kilauea resuming
her wonted trips "to windward"
The public has enjoyed the privileges Of
inter-lsland steam communication, SO long to
its great advantage and convenience, that 1t is
merely stating q fact, which every one ac-
knowledges, to say, that it is so great con-
venience, that it is almost necessity, not
only to the present requirements, but to the
future prosperity Of the country. The large
agricultural interests of the country, which
have been principally developed during the
time in which we have been favored by steam
communication, requires regular and certain
communication with the metropolis, such as
cannot be furnished by sailing vessels, and
can only be attained by steam. It requires
no argument to prove, that so far as travel is
concerned, steam is far preferable 10 sails In

Miss MARY PARKER, daughter of the
veteran Missionary of Kaneohe, took
charge of the Industrial and Reformatory
School, at Kapalama, on Monday. She is
to be assisted by her sister, Miss Caroline
Parker and the parents of these ladies
will likewise reside with them, and give
them the benefit of their active assistance,
as well as of their counsel. Mr.. Parker,
the father, has been recently superannu-
ated, or retired, by those having authority,
in the matter of his parish or cure, at Ka-
neohe. We are not sure that we use the
right expression, in speaking of the with
drawal of Mr.. Parker, but that is the ex-
preston which seems to us TO fit it, and
if it be not quite right, we apologize to
everybody, in advance The authority
or mode of government in this matter,
is not quite clear to us, for we have not
had time to study it. As far as we under
stand it, it amounts to the idea that those
having the means to enforce their views,
think that young men are to be preferred
to the veterans and are willing that the vet
Grams should rest from their labors, and en-
joy looking on for time. before they go
over the dark river, and see how well the
aforesaid young men will manage in their
places.
But all this is their own business, and
we say Amen" to their managing as they
see fit, and cordially hope they are manag
ing it to the satisfaction of all concerned
and if we find out that they are doing so,
will warmly congratulate all concerned in
renewal of the age of miracles, in their
own persons. In the meantime, however
it more nearly concerns US, to-day, that
Mr.. and Mrs. Parker feel little more
strength left in them, to labor for the ben
eft of this people, and an unsubdued
willingness to exercise that strength.
Though they might not be willing to take
upon themselves the care of an establish
ment which, by its very nature, can have
no let-up," no vacation, and over which
the watchfulness must be unintermitted.
The Misses Parker will, certainly, be the
right people in the right place. They are
most enthusiastic in their devotion to this
people in the way of instructing the
young, and excellent results may be conf
IDENTIFY anticipated from their efforts.
Next week we intend to touch again
on the condition of this school, and the |
claims which it has on the public.
The Kuokod of last week announces
that Rev. B. W. Parker. who resigned
from his parish at Kaneohe, from i'll health,
is about to take charge of the school. We
DO not know on what grounds this averment
is made. Miss Parker is the person in
charge of the school and responsible for it.
Mr.. Parker's resignation at Ka-
neohe from i'll health, we know nothing
but. if it is true. it follows, as matter of
course, that he could not take charge of
his more laborious business. We have
heard of such thing as being compelled

olicable to resignation of parishes. we do
not know.

agricultural, is the paramount interest Of the
country; fromit, we are now deriving the chief
share Of our prosperity, and to IL more than
to any other source, must we look for future
prosperity and advancement. Everything
possible, should be done by the Government
and people, 70 foster the agricultural inter-
ests already developed, and to encourage the
further development Of the great natural re-
sources Of the country. In doing this, almost
the first necessity is, to establish easy, GER
tain and speedy communication between the
centre of trade and the agricultural districts,
which can only be done through the instru-
mentality of steam. This necessity seems to
be acknowledged by all, and the only question
is, as to how we are to arrive at the desired
result
We are told, that those who have hitherto
undertaken to establish inter.island steam
communication, have suffered serious loss,
and that, however much good may be promo
ted by such communication, we should not
expect its re-establishment at the expense Of
private individuals or companies. OF course,
people cannot be expected to invest their cap
tai, in an enterprise which experience has
proven not to be a paying one, although in
the present case, the inducements offered by
Government, would seem to place company,
who would undertake to re-establish inter
island communication, under much more ia
vorable auspices than any company has here
tofore been placed. There are those expert
enced in such matters, who are sanguine in
the belief, that, with the aid offered BY the
Government, company, with sufficient cap
ital to put the Kilauea in proper condition to
resume her labors, would run no risk of see
ing its stock depreciate, but would, on the
contrary, under proper management, pay rea-
sonable dividends. Be this as 1t may, one
thing is certain: the public requirements
demand, that by some means, inter-island
steam communication should be re-establish-
ed, and there are no small number Of those
interested, who are strongly in favor Of the
Government, in default of private enterprise,
taking the matter in hand and putting the
Kilauea at her old work again. The action
taken in the purchase of the steamer thus
rescuing her from the wrecker's axe, lie
cause of general congratulations for howev-
er interesting and valuable her dissection
might have been to the cause of science, ID
would have been most damaging, If not fatal,
to the cause of inter-island steam navigation.
To have permitted it, would have been base
act of public ingratitude towards an old,
though far from used up public servant,
such as are only supposed to be committed
by republics. Yours, etc,
HONOLULU.
