The Ec1linn Scnre.

We have not thought it worth the whie
publish all the details Of the attempts Of A
Fenians to invade Canada, for q more ludic,o
affair has never been chronicled. The n,
patriots who made mp the army, from the M
reliable accounts at hand, simply rushed ac,,
the border into Canada, fred a few shots. .,
then took to their heels. The New York Thin
is rather severe on the gallant patriots:
"a plain narrative of this story-a war SION.
by a Marshal and one deputy, a whole army defea,..
and utterly routed by two mems SO utterly Ina
crous that no comment can improve il. But in ~
we have no desire to dwell upon the farcical featns
of this new discovery in strategy. We have !
disposition to speculate upon what would L.s
happened if Wellington had been arrested M
sheriff IS officer in the battle of Waterloo. or a.
lodged in Jail by a Virginia constable while the ssa
of the Potomac was fighting in the Wilderness, M
serious side of General 0'Neil's ridiculous blD,d.
is too painful to be laughed at. The folly Of ~,
charlatan has cost thousands Of working people ~
last dollar of their savings, and perhaps some nv
fellows their lives. 1t has degraded Irishmep IN ~
estimation of many Of their fellow-citizens who NJ
perhaps overlook the difference between the natrio,;.
Of the people and the imbecile vanity of the Lead.
These are the sad results of the last Fenian invas;~
We can only hope that the rank and file NAV y
home quickly and sound, and save their carr
bags" F

The Japanese Colony.

On our fourth page will be found a correspon-
dence from the Japan Herald relating to the
japanese laborers. The letter of Riosuke and his
38 fellows is evidently an exaggeration. No one
here believes that they were abused as is there
stated. In fact they were probably better kept
| and treated than Chinese coolies ordinarily are.
We know this to be the case with the 40 or so
who were on the Haiku Plantation, as a year ago
we had frequent opportunities to inspect their
condition, and are satisfied that everything was
done for their comfort that could be. But while
the treatment of the Japanese laborers may be
what is desired, the system under which they as
well as the Chinese are obtained and taken from
their country, is universally condemned. This
same paper, the Japan Herald. from which we
clip these letters, contains the following remarks
regarding the coolie system, under which they
were obtained
g: N body believes this lots affirmation an toto;
but for all that, the coolie traffic is too much like
the internal slave system that has cost both Eng
land and America SO dear a price in blood and
gold ever to be tolerated by any thoughtful man."
This, from a Japan paper, only goes to show
that public opinion there condemns the system.
The same is the case in China, as was shown in
an extract which we copied, from the Shanghai
Herald, a few weeks since, even stronger than the
above language. And now we see, by the very
last mail from Germany that 34aa I,
Consul General Sturz has addressed a petition
to the Reichstag, praying that steps may be taken
to forbid the subjects OF the North German Con-
federation in foreign countries holding slaves, and
to prevent German ships, or ships bearing the
German flag, carrying coolies"
These all 60 to show that the coolie system is
condemned in every quarter, and must be done
away with and the more enlightened system of
free labor must take its place.

Legislative .JottInrs.

During the past week the Legislative Assembly
has been Flooding along much in the usual way
under the management of the Ministry. Most Of
the time has been occupied in discussing various
items of the Appropriation Bill, on which each
member has his say, and wants his way, but is al
ways sure to succumb at last to the Minister. Ar
amount of SOS 900 was proposed for the estab-
lishment of hospitals on Hawaii, Maui and Kauai
which gave rise to a lengthy and windy discus
sion. There is no doubt but that the people in
remote districts greatly feel the loss of the med
ical care of the American missionaries, now inter-
dicted by law, to furnish medicines, and hence
the call for physicians. In former years, when
natives needed a dose of physic of the harmless
nature of salts, castor oil, or Brandreth's pills,
they could always get their needs supplied at the
dispensaries of the resident missionaries and
others, generally gratis, according to their means.
But now, they are left to the mercy of the native
quacks who SO wretchedly attempt to fill the
places of the ancient Rahunds, who doubtless pos
sessed no little knowledge of the curative use of
herbs, and of anatomy.
On Friday, yesterday q motion was made
that instead of $25 900 for hospitals, $4,000 be
appropriated for doctors and nurses. 1t was then

amendments on a call of the House, went back
ward and forward like shuttlecocks. some mem
bers declining to vote when their names were
called, and several caIlings were a tie. The item,
after these dizzy knockings about, and long de-
bates, at last passed at $4,000. How much is
six thousand a year going to do for the medical
treatment of the people in the outer districts?
Very little, it is to be feared, if indeed, a single
dollar of it is ever expended outside of Honolulu.
On the I'd, the bill to legalize the distillation
of rum was most summarily killed, by a vote of
% to 4, showing that the natives are sound
when the question of manufacturing intoxicating
drinks is referred to them for decision. Could
rum be made here without finding its way into
consumption among the natives, there might be
some plausible ground for advocating the meas
ure. But every thoughtful man knows it can't
be done.
The bill to increase the tax on real and personal
property from / to ! of one per cent, which
passed on the LIST inst, will be generally ap-
proved. Under the new law all property must
pay FIVE DOLLARS tax on every thousand dollars.
1t is the most equitable tax there is, and the only
proper basis for taxation. On all lands, but
especially on all idle lands, it ought to be fully
one per cent. This new law Will double the
revenue from taxes, and yield over fifty thousand
dollars per annum to the treasury.
The folly of the Assembly is illustrated in the
discussions on the salary of the Clerk of the
of Maui, in which a portion of three
days was consumed. The salary formerly was
The Pacific commercial advertiser. [volume] (Honolulu, Hawaiian Islands) 1856-1888, 1870-07-09

| $500 for two years. 1t was amended to 81 600,
and passed then the next day it was reduced
to 81 900 and finally on the third day, restored
to the old figure, $500.
Yesterday $37 900 was voted for the hiIa"ea'
and an appropriation was brought in by Mr..
Harris to vote $50, 900 for an Australian steam
line.
The Assembly propose to adjourn on Saturday
next, and as the work is nearly closed, this can
easily be accomplished.

rasbionahIe millinery.

Miss M. Perdue, at 273l Main street,
opposite Court Square, has opened one
of the most tasty and attractive stocks
of spring millinery that we have seen or
expect TO see. We looked at the bon
nets, hats, ribbons, laces, flowers and
fancy goods this morning, and will risk
our character among the ladies for good
taste by pronouncins everything love
ly." The bonnets are certainly very
sweet and pretty. The style allows more
drapery about the back part, comes well
forward, is longer and looks more like
bonnet than anything we have seen in
several years. The trimmings the com
binations of colors, produce a happy effect
that cannot fail to be admired. The hat
department includes seventeen different
styles, all lately imported. These must
be seen TO be appreciated, and could not
be described in an ordinary newspaper
notice. We could only raise our hands
and say to each of the seventeen pat
terms: How beautiful" The hues and
forms of the artificial flowers and foliage
are as natural and sweet as to be found
of May morning in the woods Mrs.
Rose p, Thompson, lady so well
known and highly respected and de-
serving, is connected with the establish
ment. In matters of taste and dress she
is du fdit. She devotes her time and
talents to the business, and will be happy
to see her many friends.

The Chinese, who passed by Memphis
last January en- route for Texas, seem
well pleased and to give satisfaction.
The Richmond Headlights says:
We learn from General Walker, who is
at present in New Orleans, that these
worshipers of joss are much pleased with
the country; that there has not been one
case Of indisposition or sickness among
them since their arrival, and that the
officers of the. Central Texas road are
well satisfied with these Cinnamon as
honest workmen. He is about contract
ing with the road for one thousand more.

destination on their arrival by rail at St

The allusion made to the German

cause the Germans believed themselves

said conventions; and if they could,
would have voted against every nomlna-
