A Distinction. md N Difference.

Mr.. EDITOR Il have noticed in a leading article
in the Government paper, entitled "Coolieism in
Massachusetts, a number of statements, or rather
n~lisstatements, that demand attention. The North
Adams Chinese policy is probably to be regarded as
a specimen of the future policy of the northeastern
United States, and therefore well deserves the wide
spread interest which it is attracting at the present
time. Therefore any statements with respect to it
will bear to be carefully watched.
The most important point to which I would call
attention in the aforementioned article-the author
of which article evidently regards the fact of the
Inauguration of a Chinese labor system in Massa-
chusetts as a perfect God-send to the cause of Ha-
waiian coolieism-is the following statement: GAN
the so-called odious elements of coolieism are en-
braced in the contracts of the Chinese who are now
domiciled in Massachusetts," I do not hesitate, and
no man who rightly comprehends the situation will
hesitate, to pronounce the above to be very far from
the truth. These Chinese have agreed to work for
three years-we viii suppose for a stipulated amount
of wages, though this is not stated. Surprising now
at the end of the first yesr,-the amount due the
employer for transportation across the continent be-
ing paid up,-these seventy-6ve men strike for higher
wages. viii they see the inside of Lenox Jail at the
county-seat Of old Berkshire countyf Not at all.
There are enough around them who win tell them
the rights of workmen in q free country, and when
they shall see fit to strike for higher wages they viii
either get it, or get employment elsewhere. Suppos-
ing again that one Of them tires of the service and
fare, and takes the cars for New York or some other
equally-removed place. doubt much whether any
sheriff or deputy sheriff will apprehend him, and
take him back over the Housatonic road to Adams
in irons. Were, however, the laws of Hawaii, and
the cooie system of Hawaii, introduced there he
would most certainly be 50 treated And there is
the odious element Of coolieism left ont. What re-
mains is the "play of Hamlet without Hamlet"
No, Mr.. Editor, there is no eooiie system introduced
into Massachusetts,. and will not be yet a while. 1
know not what may yet be done, for the demands Of
capitalists, like those of laborers, are much the same
throughout the world. But / know that for the
Government paper of this city to say that it is so
now win delude no one but those Willfully deluded.

One other omewhat important correction remains
to be made. 1t is said that the Chinese were i'm
ported by an agent, just as is the case here. The
fact is Mr.. Sampson sent his otrn partner, MIR.
Chase, to San Francisco, and the agreements are
made with him personally. The Chinese are not
hired out by any San Francisco company. l have
the authority of a personal acquaintance of mine,
resident in North Adams, for this, and quote his
words:
"The bargain was made with the men themselves !;
the wages are to be paid to the men themselves. The
Cinnamon come TO North Adams on the same footing
with other emigrants the only difference being that
Mr.. Sampson paid their fare from San Francisco,
and that they have agreed to work for him for q
term of three years.
Now I will only add to the above, that so long as
their continuance in that service is by their continued
rClantary consent, so long they are free laborers SO
soon as the laws of Massachusetts, shall say that they
shall continue in that service or else go to prison, so
soon they are. for the time being, in the position
slaves. Yours truly, CURTIS ]. LYONS.

The May term of the Lahaina Circuit Court had
been continued twice, and was finally fixed to COM
mence its sessions on Monday the 18th inst.
The Court opened at 9 A. NJ. of that day, Hon. H.
A. Widemann, Second Associate Justice presiding,
assisted by Hon. A. J. Lawrence, Circuit Judge of
the Island of Maui. The calendar of cases was not
large, and was disposed of in the following order:

jury and verdict for plaintiff for $50. Koii and
others for plaintiff w. C. Jones for defendants.
Uluhi ct al Us. Kaahawepaki-Action of ejectment.
The jury in this case was called, but there was o
mistrial owing to the absence of q juror from the
panel after being sworn, the jury was discharged and
the cause continued.
All the parties that could ayailed themselves of the
of applying for divorce, as they dreaded
the prohibitory effect of the new law.

THE PACIFIC
Commercial a6bertiser
SATURDAY. q 80.

The n. Y. Tribune remarks that the withdrawal
Of the English steamers from the line between
Panama and Australia, for lack of freight and pas
sengers, ought to give pause to the Senate Committee
which proposes to report a $500. 600 subsidy to an
American line from San Francisco to the same nom
exporting and little importing Colonies. To give
$500, 900 to such a line will be q palpable swindle
not only on the American people but on the Austria
liam colonists, who have pledged themselves to grant
an equal amount. Americans owe too much and
Australians are too poor to stand such a swindle
with patience.
The above item exhibits a degree of ignorance
on the part of a leading New York paper, which
can only be accounted for by supposing that it
never has seen any trade statistics of the Pacific,
these islands, or Australia, and takes no pains to
gather information relating to this part of $he
world. We published recently an article, show
ing the immense trade and travel of the Colonies.
From those data it appeared that the passenger
and freight money in 1869, between this port
and San Francisco amounted to $3.50 900, and
between Australia and San Francisco to $685. 200.
The passage money paid during the same year to
and from the Colonies to all parts of the world
amounted to S., 514 900, while the freight money
amounted to $24 $50, AGO. Moreover, the i'm
ports of the Colonies amounted for the same year
to $3.50, POS ,571, and the exports to S175 1884,
o4l-nearly one half OF that OF the whole United
States for the same period.
In it's metropolitan verdancy it appears to forget
that the Australian continent is nearly as large
as the whole United States, territories and rocky
included. The area of Australia, as
given in the Tribune Almanac, is 2,945 900 acres,
while that Of the United States is 3,57S 1892
acres. The number Of sheep in Australia is over
forty millions, and her product of gold exceeds
that of California.
Because the Panama steam line, undertaken by
capitalists who knew nothing of the business they
had engaged in, and over a route against which
commerce and travel protested, proved a failure,
affords no just ground for denouncing as "a
" the subsidy to assist a steam line
over a natural commercial track,
which has and must continue to draw to it a large
and remuneratiye traffic, destined to increase with
extraordinary growth every year that it is con-
tinued.

From Rome.

ROME, July 4.-The Council yesterday adopted
the preface and the first two chapters of the In
fallibiIity scheme. The extreme ~partisans of In
fallibility refuse to concede any alterations, aud
demand a vote. Should the opposition remain OBJ
stinate and prevent a vote, the discussion may last
a month longer.
ROME, July 8.-The Dogma of Infallibility will
be proclaimed on the 18th inst. The ceremonies
attending the publication of the dogma will be
held in the church of st. Leo w. The Pope will
occupy the veritable chair OF st. Peter the Car
dinals, Arch-bishops and Bishops will attend In
full canonicals, and the various religious orders
will go to the church in procession the conclusion
of the religious ceremonies will be heralded to the
pOpulace with salvos of cannon and peals of bells.
PARIS, July 8-Correspondence from Rome to
the 5th inst. represents that the orators on both
sides of the Infallibility question in the Council
have ~renounced their intention of speaking, on
condition that the manuscripts of their speeches
will be submitted to a deputation, on the faith that
the scheme will be voted on before the 18th inst
On Tuesday chapter third was adopted, and the
vote on chapter fourth. which deals exclusively
with the Dogma of Infallibility, will soon follow.
Parties in favor of the dogma believe the original
formula will be maintained by the Council. and be
promulgated on the 18th by the Pope with extra
ordinary solemnity and rejoicing.

Of Mr.. Shimonek had good claims for urging
his nomination. The delegates said there

whenever they came to the city to trade,
which costs them about 81, but that if Mr..
Shimonek was elected they could avoid this

Chas. W. Whites Speech at the Republi-

The delegates from Two Rivers and Schles-
wig at the Republican Convention, last Sat.
urday, listened with much pleasure and amaze
ment TO a few remarks made just previous
to the ballot for State Senator by Mr. Charles
W. White, the leader of the Republican party
in this county, regarding Mr. Balitz, the can
didate of the Schleswig delegation for State
Senator:
MIR. PREsIDENT.-Before the ballot pro-
cecds for the nomination of State Senator
desire to say few words to the convention. 1t
has been openly declared by a candidate for
State Senator, that if he should succeed in
obt'ining the election he WOULD use all his
honest powers to defeat any movement in favor
OF railroads, and more than this, that he would
undo, if he could, all that had been accom-
plished That man is Mr.. Balitz of Schleswig.
Now | say to this convention that man of
this kind cannot and must not be nominated.
If he is, the Republican PARTY Of Mantle woo
county viii not support him:
The above speech accomplished what Mr..
White desired, the defeat of Mr. Balitz The
ballot taken and resulted in the nomina-
ton of Mr.. Carey, of Meeme, Mr. Balitz re-
c,iving only four ofthe ftty-tlree votes. Had
ii not been for this speech Mr.. Balitz would
have shown more strength and might have
been nominated.
