Lay the Telegraphic Cable.

Mr.. EDIToR-Amidst all the talk and stir that is
going on about IS labor and population. - in my poor
way of thinking, l am inclined to the belief that cur
planters do not lack labor so much as system, and q
better and fairer management. Some of them have
a large force of hands poorly managed. And let the
system universally be stopped of giving advances;
pay strictly to the dime in hard cash what is agreed
to be paid; keep no plantation stores and let the
natives trade where they please; do not allow them to
get into debt-they will work more c~heerfully if not
more faithfully.
Now in all this talk about our necessities, the up
shot appears to be that somebody is to be sent of on
a mission. We have had several of these costly
foreign missions already, and what have they all
amounted to ? With the exception of those Of Wilder
and Hilebrand. they have merely served to show off
the { fair > proportions of an Ambassador Extraordi-
nary and Minister Plenipotentiary. Some of these
ardent patriots are perhaps DESTROYS of turning their
faces again towards Mecca, and be in time for the
Inauguration of Grant.
1t our Islands we're connected with San Francisco
by electric telegraph, we should retain the continu-
ance of the visits of the whaling feet, the only in
terest, as everybody acknowledges that built up and
sustained this country so long. A good deal of the
money sunk for the time being in plantations by men
quite ignorant of the business, would, in my opinion,
had it been invested in the purchase and fitting of a
feet of whalers, built up Honolulu to be one Of the
most prosperous whaling ports in the world. We
have all the natural advantages in our favor. The
many thousands of hard cash expended in our midst
by the whalers was n good deal more appreciable and
enriched US more as IA community than the limited
expenditures of the plantations even were they to be
all we'll conducted and all successful.
Now to my way of thinking, some course of action
likely to bring the whaleships back and secure the
continuance of their visits, is much more needed than
bringing in a set Of impoverished colonists to bring
down the price of labor. No gentlemen, but if you
will get up a subscription, TO which | doubt if there
is a man in town who will refuse to subscribe, TO es-
tablish as speedily as possible u telegraphic connection
with San Francisco, you will soon see the whalers
glad to return to Honolulu. ANY and all the in
ducements should be offered to the same end that
either the government or the community can offer,
and you will soon see Honolulu once more resume
her w0nted prosperity. MECHANIC.

A Few Questions Asked.

Honolulu, November 7th, 1877.
Mr.. EDIToR-DEAR SIR IL was quite amused az
the reply Of W. NJ. Wallace, Secretary Of Ultima
Thule " Lodge, No. /, L o. G. T., 10 "Cosmopo-
ness of the Good Templars, and wish 20 ask him a
few questions. hoping he will answer them in q
straightforward manner, and not beat about tho
bush. " as he has done in his communication headed
1.-THE Good Templars not Exclusive: ="
FIrst-Is w. NJ. W.. trying TO gull the public
when he says 4" there is now a member Of the Lodge
in good standing, who attends the meetings Negu-
larry, and shares alike with the tchite members In all
the privileges of membership, n full biOoded half
Ichtte y" Had not her father been one OF the oldest
members. and a tchfte man, would she not have been
debarred the privilege Of membership
SecoRd-DoesW w. NJ. w. mean that the half-white
alluded TO in his communication was the only one of
that class refused membership in that particular
Lodgei
Third-Why is it with this non-exclusive Lodge
OF one hundred members, that there should be only
one full biooded hdLf-lchiie' enjoying the grea,
privilege Of membership
Fourh-Was a resolution ever passed in that
Lodge excluding Hawaiians, and those with Ha-
waiian blood. from becoming members thereof
Fyh-Was the following amendment offered 10
the above resolution and poted doun
ResoEued, That all persons Of good moral char
acter, who can read, write and speak the English
language shall be eligible to become members Of this
Ledge, without regard TO color.
AS w. M. w. occupies the position Of Secretary,
he will have no difficulty in answering the above
through ignorance, but for the purpose Of creating
a wrong impression, that w.. M. w. gives the public
to understand that Z" Queen Emma Lodge carries
on its work in the native language only. The fact is
that either language Is used, TO suit circumstances.
Yours respectfully, ALLEGIANCE.

Hawaii for the Hawa.iians."

Mr.. EDITOR Your paper has L believe always
taken the ground that whenever a Hawaiian was
found properly qualified to ill any Office in the gift
of the Government. it ought to be given TO him in
preference to a foreigner. This very just and
proper doctrine has also from time to time been
p~rofessed by those in authority. but il is not gen.
orally pr~acticed. Another instance has just occur
red of injustice in this respect. A vacancy hap
peued in the Office of teacher of the Government
school of Militant. 4 young lady of the highest
responsibility. talented and well educated. applied
for the post. Another young lady, whose qualif-
cations were no better than the Grst-it would per-
haps be construed as invidious to say that they
were not so goOd-was preferred. Now why did
the Board of Education reject the first applicant?
There can be. so far as appears. but one reason
she is. through one parent, Of Hawaiian blood.
This policy of prescribing those Of Hawaiian ex-
traction from positions of emOlument in the gift Of
Government, is shamefully unjust and outrageous.
for this is by no means the first instance that has
occurred in this particular department. They are
undoubtedly the result of a odlefd influence that,
while it has been removed in one place. still exists
and is powerfully exercised in other directions.

HAWAIIAN FUS-BEAMs,''-Is the title of q we'll
written paper on humorous traits Of our islanders,
in the Overland for October. We quote q sam pie
1.-TWO aged women, both more than ordinarily
beautiful-taking fat as the Hawaiian standard of
beauty-sat on the front seat by one side of the pull
pit. Presently, during sermon-time, one began with
double fists to punch and pound the other in the
back and shoulders. Instead of hitting back, the
poundee seemed to enjoy the striking demonstration.
A deacon. on the other side Of the church. clad in
dark pants, over which gracefully dropped the flaps
of his only other garment gray-fannei shirt
seeing that one of the hearers was making more
gestures than the preacher, passed over, as we sup
posed, to expel the Hitite. But, instead of this, he
placed himself in front of the woman who had been
so vigorously pokei and pounded, and, while she
confdingly bowed her head against his breast, he
doubled his fists and kneaded her fat and doughty
back, as though it had been a batch of bread. The
good old lady, having an attack of rheumatic pain
and cramp in the back, was, by this sensible practice
of lomi-ing, very soon relieved and nobody bat our
company of foreign spectators appeared to think it q
strange proceeding.
