We hear, 10 consequence, of the establishment
in the Fiji Islands of new Ministry under
King Thokembu. The country con hardly be
called promising one, or the government
regarded as liberal, II such things as the
hiring out Of q rebellious tribe to planters for
the benefit Of the royal treasury is one Of the

of some importance whether this policy origi-
mated with the English Premier and Finance

the British government was earnest enough In
its preparations to meet all emergencies. The
military were held in readiness TO interfere in

A MEETING OF PROMINENT CITIZENS has been
called for next Tuesday evening at the Academy
of Music, in order to inquire into the charges
against the city authorities and to investigate
the public accounts. The call is signed by
many of the rich and influential merchants of
the city. The action proposed is probably the
best way of finding out the truth regarding
the alleged exposures, and is certainly open
to the commentator Of ell good citizens.

THE INTERNATIONAL SOCIETY appears to bt
bent on carrying out its programme to thu
bitter end. According to our special despatch
from Paris plot aiming at nothing less than
the capture Of Marseilles by means of whole.
sale confagration has been discovered by thu
authorities. It seems, then, that the Interna
tionals, or Communists, or whatever they may
call themselves. have not yet stated theil
incendiary greed. Their plan of opera
tions, adds our despatch, included othe,
cities, such as Nancy and Bourges
which were to have shared the fat.
of Iarseiles. All this seems almos
too fantastic for belief. Perhaps those papers
which the authorities are reported to have
found have reference to CONGREGATIONS planned
to take place simultaneously with the burning
Of Paris, for such, we believe, was the pro
gramme Of the dying Commune. We canno
see how the International Society can advance
its interests by Wholesale inoendiarism. They
aim at the destruction of the old social edi
fee. When the houses are all burned to thu
ground the old social ediice may indeed b.
said to have ceased to exist.

and that In its diffusion 1t followed and does
follow the great lines of travel and trade. We
know, too, that In the Hlthiest cities and parts
of cities the disease reaps the largest harvest,
and we fear that our city is not now in the
best condition for resisting another siege Of
the cholera
This is the point we have been driving at.
Having reached it, these questions recur, and
we should like 10 have them answered. Are
our health authorities wide awake in view Of
the danger which threatens us Are our street
cleaners doing their work properly Is the
Mayor impressed with the duty of immediate
and comprehensive attention to this matter in
all its bearlngs9 And has the national govern
ment had its attention called to the subject
And has the Secretary of State issued his in
structions to his Ministers in Europe for all
the information on the cholera at their COM
msnd? And does not this important matter
call for some special circulars from the Score
tary OF the Treasury to his collectors and to
our consuls abroad in reference to the move
ments Of this Asiatic pestilence, and for some
special instructions touching incoming ships
from infected districtsa At any rate no harm
can be, and much good may be, done in calling
the special attention of all our officials con-
cerned, national, State and municipal, to the
important duty Of preparing for another visit
from the terrible pestilence Of the Ganges.

the record TOT the week endlng July Il. The
same fatality in our present population would
be about twenty-five hundred deaths per
week, which, including deaths from other
causes, would give us a weekly report Of
1882, 80 it was in almost all the cities and
States visited by the cholera in that campaign
Of the pestilence from the Ganges TO the Mis-
sssippi, the cause of fearful destruction of
human life. In Washington, where they had
some thousands Of men employed in digging
canals and sewers and grading streets, the
death rate daily from the cholera for some
time was particularly appalling.
Now this terrible scourge is evidently
coming this way again from its Asistic base Of
operations. Physicians may doubt whether
the disease Is contagious or infectious; but
the facts connected with its transmission from
point to point are conclusive in our judgment
that it is both contagious and infectious. Ras-
pail. OF Paris, contended that the Asiatic
cholera is an animalcular disease; that the
animalcua resulting from 1t and propagating
it are winged, and have the power of moving
considerable distances; that thus the routes
Of the pestilence, which are the routes of CON-
merce and travel, by land and water, can only
be explained, and that upon this theory alone
can we account for the transmission OF the
plague across seas and oceans in ships We
know that the disease in 1882 and 10 1S49 was
brought into the United States by ships; that
IL was transmitted from the cities into which

BEET SUeAR.-The San Francisco Com

beets will net about sac, 500 worth of sugar.
On the other hand, he puts the ex-
pense of working up this quantity of
beets in factory with fifty hands at $780,
600, or 600, 200 more than the worth of the
sugar obtained. The beet sugar mill at
Sacramento is temporarily suspended"
The Herald supposes that the beets of
California arc deficient in saccharine matter
as compared with those of Germany and
France.
