In all ages of the world, says the Des Moines
Register, since newspapers have had q being,
SANDER suits have been their lot. Recently a
Dubuque journal compromised q little 100000
difficulty OF this description, and now a local ink
singer of Des MONIES is said to threaten VEN
geance dire against the Lt0G Homestead for
certain structures appearing in a late number Of
that paper. The amount of damages claimed we
have not learned, but it must be large. An Or
binary EDITORS reputation is worth at least half n
bers fail us. Go count the stars Of heaven; COM
pute the bubbles on the oceans foaming crest ;
number the hairs on the tails of the cattle on q
burning desert enumerate the COLES in a load OF
local editors reputation. 1t cant be done. Like
Caesars wife, he is above suspicion. He will
out-JOseph Joseph and leave not only his shirt
but his stockings and his tOe-nails behind him
rather than sin. He is as incorruptible as Plym-
outh Rock. Pompey's Pillar reached not nearer
heaven than a locals character, and the driven
snow is sullied and dingy when compared to bis
spotless purity. All well regulated clocks are set
by them; they are so steady and regular in their
habits, and the equator is balanced by them.
Every morning Apollo looks IN at the third
window at the Walnut street front Of the Regis
ter Office before he starts the sun, a wise precau-
ton that always keeps the fiery old god from
going on a bender. Money can never settle the
harm OF slandering such Immaculate characters as
local editors; blood alone can wipe out such a
stain. Let it be pistols for two and coffee for a
dozen, and let the Leader'S local hold the other
fellows head.-A. Joseph paper.

PLAIN Talk to the People.

The following is translated from the KuOkOd,
native newspaper of the 2lst inst:
"At this most important period in the history OF
Hawaii nei it is well that words of soberness should
be spoken.
"a duty devolves uDon every Hawaiian of twenty
years of age and upwards to form and express an
opinion as to whom he considers the proper person
to sit upon the Throne of the Kamehamehas. 1t
is well in forming this choice to listen to those whose
opinions we respect those who by their actions
have shown a love for the Hawaiian, not those who
have had no other object than to secure an office
or to gather wealth from the people. We say 1t is
well to listen but when the time comes to express
your choice for a King you should not be governed
by the will of another. Let no man be your master
in this matter.
lyon are choosing a King for yourselves, not
for another. Your property. real and personal,
your liberty. your very life may be affected by
your selection. This is one of the most important
acts of your lives, and your action should be prayer
fully considered. Having made yonr choice ex-
press it on the first day of January in a quiet, or
Derby way, and let your Representative know the
result of the vote of your district.
Now one word to Representatives. You are
aware that by the terms of the Constitution OF ha-
mehameha Fifth, in the emergency which is now
upon us, you were given the power to elect a King.
Permit Us to ask you candidly whether you con-
slider it wise or Just that twenty-eigbt men, elected
as Representatives. without a thought of being
called upon to act in so important a matter as elect
ing a King, should set their own choice above that
of their constituencies? Have not the governed a
right to be heard in this matter? The King, whom
soever he may be. is to be King over us all, and to
our mind it is only right and proper that the voice
of the people should be uttered by You.
You go to the next Legislative Assembly to all
intents and purposes-DELEGATEs. The great re-
sponsibiIity that is upon you as Representatives is
removed when you act as a Delegate; for in the
latter capacity you act under instructions from the
people. and if cause of regret is expressed in the
future by your constituents you can fairly say
spoke your choice. To speak simply and %selhshly
tor yourselves you assume a weighty responsibility.
We say then let the people from Hawaii to Niihau
speak through you. This is only right, just and
proper

The old spirit continues to exist in sections Of the

intention they were set upon by Ombaion win hs

A RECENT number Of the New York Herald has q
suggestive article on "The Great Trade Of the
Pacific Steam and Electric Communication &c,
from which we have space only for thsss paragraphs:
"Truly an important lever OF commercial progress
is the magnetic telegraph. We need, for ourselves,
n cable or cables under the Pacific Ocean TO bring
our merchants and those Of China and Japan within
speaking distance. England has pushed her lines Of
telegraphic communication with these countries Of
Asia and Australasia by the way Of India and Aus
tralia, and is consequently securing advantages for
a few years cables either by the way Of the Sandwich
Islands OF the Aleutian Islands. by the latter the
longest from our own territory to Japan would not
exceed six or seven hundred miles in length. Con-
gress should Mt an carly day authorize the laying Of
a Pacific cable and give all the aid it can incident
ally to the enterprise.
"In the meantime, however, let no. the ~opportu-
nifty be lost of ~enlarging our trade across the Pacific
and Of increasing our steam communication with the
countries Of Asia and Australia, for there we have
some advantages which no other great maritime M
ton possesses.
"In the first place, then, every encouragement
should be given by the government, short OF granting
enormous subsidies, TO steamship enterprise from our
Pacific coast TO China, Japan, India and Australia.
Our merchants and capitalists, too, would find 10 TO
their interest in the end to be liberal in promoting
such enterprise. The profits Of the company which
has a steamship line already established for the
Pacific trade show that capital Is well invested In that
or capitalist will doubt that this trade is capable Of
great expansion. More steamships now, or more
lines even at an early day, might find profitable en-
%ployment. II is well known 10 political economists
that in this wonderfully progressive age commerce
grows more and more by the necessities itself creates"

HAWAIIAN Fun BEAMs."-From an article with
the above caption in the Overland Monthly for
November, we extract the following "Prince Will
lam. one of the highest chiefs in the Kingdom, is as
quick-witted and ready at repartee in English as in
Hawaiian. A few years ago, the somewhat pompous
and patronizing French Minister, at a royal recep-
ton, turned to Prince William and having for the
moment forgotten his name. yet wishing officially to
recognize him said And your name is-?'
pausing for a reply. At once the Prince, who did
not care to be patronized, threw himself into theat-
rical attitude. and with a capital rendering of his
apt quotation, replied my name is Norval. On
the Grampian Hills my father feeds his hocks, a
frugal swain.'' Nobody could more thoroughly
enjoy than did he the confusion of the courtly French
man, who knew too little of English literature to
comprehend the force of the extract which SO much
amused the by-standers.'

PROSPECTS OF THE WEBB LINE-The San Fran
cisco Commercial Herald, in a recent issue, after re-
viewing the statistics of commerce between Austria
liza, New Zealand, these islands, and California,
thus concludes
.'For a long time the Webb line of steamships
Iabored under a cloud. 1t was harried up before
suitable vessels were made ready for the business.
aud suffered from other drawbacks which tended
to make it somewhat unpopular. But the indomi-
table energy of its author, and his ripe experience
in this kind Of business. are now rapidly causing it
to emerge, and creating for 1t a celebrity aud pop
ularity worthy of our national reputation. The
benefits it has conferred. despite all the difficulties
encountered aud overcome. are sufficiently shown
in the foregoing statement of facts. 1t is too COM
mon a custom in this country to cite the practices
or acts of other nations as examples for us to fol-
low. To accept this as a sound proposition would
frequently lead US into the commission OF gross
errors. We do not, therefore. ask Congress to IA
vOrably consider a subsidy bill for the Webb Aus
tralian line simply because England has adopted
that policy toward her mail steamship lines, or be-
cause France does the same. but for the reason that
it will pay the Government and infinitely advance
our commercial relations with Australia"

BURGLARS CAUGHT.-Three Cinnamon were ar

Some of the property was found concealed on the
premises of DR.. F. w. Hutchinson, whose servant one
of the Cinnamon was. Tine case was postponed
until Friday next, and the men remanded to prison.

miles. Considering the heavy head sea aud strong
trades that prevails there, this may be pronounced
good work. -

GG- The rumor is current that Mr.. r. Ii Stanley
of this city. has been retained as counsel for j. g.
King who murdered O'Neil in New York. tprob-
ably took its rise from the following paragraph,
which appeared in the New York Herald OF Nov.
80, in the account of the investigation by the Cor
oner's jury:
The jury, after a short elaboration. returned a
conclusive verdict of wilful murder. During that
deliberation a lawyer named Stanley, who defended
King when he was on trial for a murder il was
alleged he committed when a resident of the Sand
witch Islands, sat by his side and entered into con-
versation with the prisoner. The talk was OF q
very animated kind and King entered into it with
considerable Zest. Previous to his removal to the
Tombs, on the warrant of the Coroner, he had a
short conversation with Mr.. Beach and Mr.. Wander
poel, both of whom are his counsel, and he left the
room with a steadiness and elaboration that APP
peared not to know any fear. In the crowd that
filed every part Of the court room there were many
friends of the prisoner and the deceased"

CHICAGO, Nov. 1G.-One of the editorial staff OF
the Chicago EUening journal, now in Boston, tele-
graphs to that paper to-day as follows: 81 have
minated that the public sentiment is averse to &C
cepting Offers of money from other cities at this
time. The Globe OF yesterday morning expresses
itself as opposed to the action of the Relief Com
mittee voting to accept aid. The Advertiser is
mildly opposed to the resolution of acceptance,
and the Transcript publishes its non concurrence
this morning. The Globe in an elaborate leader
comes out fat-footed upon men who, it says, wonld
make Boston a beggar from the whole Union, and
publishes several letters from various citizens in
support of its comments. The Globe says the CON-
mittee, in assuming to speak for the citizens Of
Boston by publishing TO the world their resolutions
that offers of pecuniary aid from all parts of the
Union will be gratefully accepted, is nothing more
nor less than a direct advertisement that the great.
proad and wealthy capital Of New England is in
poverty and distress and a subject Of general
charity. Boston, at this day, and Notwithstanding
the fire, is receiving an income of over seventy
million dollars, and to say a community thus cir
cumstanced cannot succor its own poor and needy
without receiving charity from abroad is absolutely
absurd. Where is the honest pride, the fair fame,
the integrity of our good old city, when she is made
to stand like a beggar, with pockets filed with
money and securities, cap in hand, and soliciting
charity from passers-by. 1t also says that Mayor
CASTOR has proved himself unequal to the situation,
and these selt-constituted solicitors for charity for
Boston have grossly misrepresented the sentiment
of the CITY.
