The Pacific commercial advertiser. [volume] (Honolulu, Hawaiian Islands) 1856-1888, 1870-08-20
The Reason WHY.

Mr.. EDITOR In Mr.. w. L. Green's letter to thS
Guzene of the 9th inst that gentleman labors hard
with several objects in view, namely to Proc, first
that the Metcalf Plantation never was at any time 6
valuable one /; second, that its losses have been owing
to the course pursued by the advertiser ON the labor
question, more than to any other cause third, that
Mr.. C. C. Harris is a perfect paragon of unseIfsh
disinterestedness. AS to the first, 1 have only to say
that had not the plantation been worth, with its
improvements, a large sum of money, the large sums
in which it became indebted could never have been
raised. That its losses, which by implication caused
its sale for what it was worth, l. e. SAC, 900, were
caused by your course on the labor question, ia
simply a reductio Gd G6surddm. For does not the
writer say that ANY one capable of forming an
opinion and he of course is one of the capables,-
thinks it questionable whether even at any time since
it was a plantation, the sum of SAC. 900 could have
been obtained for it7
1 hope you have not got aattered and will not
become giddy-headed over the important influence
your journal, according to Mr.. g., has upon the ups
and downs of plantations. At the magic wave Of
your wand, capitalists are to be ruined, or sent on
the h~igh-road to prosperity. Good for journalism
the third estate.
But let me ask, do the causes of the losses of plan
tations arise alone from the opposition to the coolie
systemf I have heard Of a number of cases of
troubles and losses on plantations that have arisen
from rather different causes On one plantation on
Hawaii, the houses were burned by, one of the en-
ployees, in revenge for alleged brutal treatment
received at the hands of the overseer. The same
person was, it is said, in charge of the Metcalf plan
tatiOn, when, as is reported, he got the enmity of
one of the Chinese laborers, on account of his treat
ment of the Chinaman's wife, and that thence arose
the late ha6eas corpus case, which recently made such
a stir, involving the loss of a large amount of labor
on that plantation. The agents of the plantation
must be considered responsible, in a measure, for
this result, as the Objectionable overseer was put on
the plantation by them, contrary TO the wishes Of the
heirs and others interested. These are only two in
stances out of many which might be adduced, show
ing how plantations suffer loss.
Whatever may be said of Mr.. G.'s financial or ad-
ministrative abilities, it must be admitted that he is
good at panegyric. The choice language and well
rounded periods in which he lauds Mr.. C. C.. Harris,
are in point of execution almost Johnsonian, but by
the community at large were received simply with a
smile of incredulity. VERIrAs.

From the files by the Comet, we CLEAN the follow
ing items:
THE Rowland LEGACIEs-Mr. Edward d. Man
dell, administrator with the will annexed on the
estate of Sylvia Ann Rowland. will pay the second
installment on-the legacies of the ~testatrix on LIST
July.
The remains of Admiral Dahigren were inferred
at Laurel Hill July 18th.
The Times Washington special says inquiries
have been submitted to the State and Treasury
Departments concerning the importation of coolies,
which Will be made to call for extended research
into the laws of this country respecting past duties
on importations, and for the performance of labor
by contract. Should the question be forced, the
Treasury Department will probably take the ground
that the immigration of Chinese does rot come
under the head of free immigration, and is, there
fore, hampered by certain restrictions. A majority
in the Senate, where the question Of servile labor
is under discussion, are opposed to coolie importa-
tons.
In view of the probabilities OF foreign war, a
Joint resolution was offered in the House, which
has the approval Of both the Secretary of the
Treasury and Secretary of State, authorizing the
register under onr Gag of all ships OF over SEQ
tons, purchased abroad and held in whole or in
part by American citizens. The belief Of both
Secretaries is, that in the event Of an outbreak of
war abroad most OF the chief foreign Powers will
be involved, and ours would then be the only
great commercial Power, and so commerce would
be obliged to do its business under our flag.
New YORK, July 16.-Tbe gold room is CON-

declined a point, on reports that England had OBJ
tanned 8 days cessation of hostilities to mediate.
War rumors following. the price went up again,
and now-2 p. Ms quoted at l64@l6k. Money

weak and lose a quarter. The advance in stocks
are strong. Central Pacific mortgages, SI@874

The German steamer which was to have sailed

CHICAGO. July 16.-The reception of the European
war news caused considerable excitement here
among the French and German citizens. Prices of
produce were not materially affected at first, but
this morning wheat opens IS cents above yester-
days opening price.
No EXTRA SEssIoN.-The statement that the
President had called an extra session of Congress
evidently erroneous. for there is no con6ma-
of it in our late dispatches. and the members
seem to be hurrying home. The regular session

Foreign Notes.

The pearl and coral trade of Europe is one of
the most profitable known. The finest collection of
pearls is said to belong to the dOwager Empress Of
Russia. After 25 years search the Emperor at last
succeeded in presenting to bis Empress a necklace
such as the world had never before seen. The
value of the pearls imported into Great Britain is
about G57. 900 yearly. Coral, one OF the finest and
most valuable products of the sea, is found in the
greatest abundance on the coasts of Corsica, Sar-
DINA. Algeria. and in the Straits of Messina. Four
principal commercial varieties are distinguished {:
First-red, which is subdivided into deep crimson,
pale red and vermilion, which is very rare Second
black; Third-clear white and FOurh-dull
white, which is the most common. The delicate
rose or flesh colored is the most priced and ESQ
was paid by an English jeweler q short time ago
for a piece OF uncommon beauty.
With the progress of manufactures and science,
it is strange what changes are taking place. APP
pleton's journal, one OF the most instructive publi-
cations issued, speaking of what it terms " the pa
per age,' says: 9 But if petticoats and table-cloths.
curtains, ETC., can be made of paper, if a material
like leather can be produced from this substance,
why may we not expect in time to have our coats
and trousers made of it? Why may we not able to
go about paper clad with paper hat, in paper
shoes, with paper coat and trousers, furnished
without in paper, and fortified in our poeketbooks
with Uncle Sans goodlooking paper money? The
cost, moreover, Of such an outfit without the pock-
et-book1 would be SO trifing that Injurious people
could have an entire new suit every day, and even
economical persons adorn themselves afresh as
often as once a week. The paper age promises
to revolutionize our social habits in not a few par
ticulars." -
Even old shoes are now considered as valuable
In commerce as rags. A recent writer gives the
following respecting their use and manufacture
I. They are cut up in small pieces, and these are
put for a couple of days in chloride of sulphur,
which makes the leather very hard aud brittle.
After this is effected, the material is washed with
water, dried, ground to powder, and mixed with
some substance which makes the particles adhere
together, as shellac, good glue, or thick solution of
gum. 1t is then pressed into moRlds. and shaped
into combs, buttons, knife handles, and many other
articles" -
1t appears that some of the most accomplished
letter writer's at Washington for the daily press in
various parts of the United States are women.
The fact that they are allowed more free access to
for securing their services for describing them and
all other erents of interest transporting at the
capital. Among them are Mrs. Grace Greenwood
Lippincott, Mrs. Briggs (Olivia), Mrs. Mary Glenn
mer Ames. Mrs. Pitman, Miss Shirley Dare Dun
ming, and Mrs. Harriet Prescott Spoaord. From
the position of a correspondent, to that of associate
or chief editor is but a step, and these latter places
