The Hawaiian gazette. [volume] (Honolulu [Oahu, Hawaii]) 1865-1918, 1872-03-20

The Sydney correspondent of the Melbourne
Argus writes as follows: Mr.. Vogel and Mr..
Webb are both staying IN Sydney with view to
get support to their line. They have seen the
Ministers. who of course can do nothing without
the sanction of Parliament But at the meeting
of the Chamber of Commerce yesterday a reso-
luton was passed in favor of supporting Mr.
Webb, pending the acceptance of tenders for the
service. and it was considered that the el5,000
voted to support the route might be fairly ap-
propriated to keep it open. But though Mr.
Webb is the only person actually in the field, he
is not the only person ready to take it. Active
negotiations have been going on with steamship
owners in England, aud ;here are vessels ready
to be placed on the line in six months-vesses
Of 1900 tons burden. and fitted with all the recent
improvements for economizing fuel. all that is

needed to set these boats at work is very mod
crate subsidy-One not beyond the strength Of
this Colony alone TO guarantee. The knowledge
OF this prevents any excessive enthusiasm on be
half of the New Zealand line. 1t is generally
supposed here that Mr.. Parke's visit to Mel
bourne is in some way connected with the interest
of the promoters of this scheme for reviying the
direct route. The Hawaiian Government, which
has been strongly pressed to substitute MIR. Webb.
and which is not unwilling to do so, has resolved
TO await for the present the action of Australia.
The American Congress will no doubt grant
subsidy to line in American hands, but it is
understood that it will be conditional on some, il
not an equal, amount being granted from the
extra American ports at which the vessels call.
Mr.. Webb's pull is in the fact that he can
secure the American subsidy, and that he has
already guaranteed ten years contract with
New Zealand. But the objections made to him
are that he does not take the shortest track, and
that in spite Of his assistance elsewhere, he asks
US much as would support direct route. Mr..
Webb and Mr.. Vogel will both visit Melbourne
in about a weeks time to see what bargains are
possible with you"

..T' Bishop : Coomin..

I To The Editor Of The HaicdiidH Gdzctte-Sir:
! The account of the consecration of the Bishop
Of Honolulu in your last issue. extracted from the
London q" John Bull newspaper of February Sd,
and which act was described in the eloquent
and impressive sermon OF Or. Scott" on the occa-
sion. as :" the sending forth a missionary bishop
TO heathens and the refuse of civilization who
mingled with them" recalls to mind a cartoon
which appeared some years ago in the London
Punch. and which in substance was as follows
although my memory may not be precisely cor
rect as to details:
Two very rough looking Yorkshire GOLFERS
were depicted smoking their pipes and having a
chat whilst an ill-avored locking bull and terrier
dog appears crouched in one corner. First York
shire Collier, loquitw-" Eth, Bill dost thee know
t Bishops coomin ?" Second Yorkshire Collier
enqdringly, taking has pipe out Of his mouth re-
Jieaieely-'T' Bishop? t Bishop !-(pause)-I
reckon our Towser II tackle him."
1t has occurred to me- Mr.. Editor, that if that
cartoon in the London Punch may be taken as
a not unfair caricaiure of the state of knowledge
refinement and civilization in certain districts in
England, 10 the very hotbed which Archbishops
have planted and Bishops have watered for cen
turtles past he must be bold man and a sanguine
Bishop who leaving such field, expects TO ef-
feet much good by coming amongst and "tackling''
not only heathens but the refuse of that civza-
ton, in the Hawaiian Islands DR.. SCOTS ALA
sion to the recent murder of Bishop Patteson,
England's latest martyr-bishop, will hardly pro-
duce the effect here which it seems to have pro-
dnced at Lambeth Palace Chapel on the occasion
Of sending forth missionary bishop 10 the Ha-

TUE New South Wales and Victorian Govern
ments do not, so far as we can learn, appear to be
inclined to listen to the voice Of the cbarmer, in
the matter Of the San Francisco mail subsidy

ter II will be thing to be regretted should
both Governments decline to grant subsidy,
more especially as the people of the Australian
colonies generally seem inclined to look favor
ably upon the plan of thus securing alternate fort
nightly mails. No doubt Mr. Vogel would have
done much better had Mr. Webbs line been in
full working order. The absence Of the third
steamer, the Daeotah, has no doubt had a damag-
ing effect upon the reputation Of the line, and the
unfortunate stoppages on the railway, caused by
the snow drifts, has shaken the confidence Of the
Australians in the reliability OF the service. Tho

The presence, in our town, during last
week, Of an unusually large number Of
visitors and travellers, points out, in de
gree, what we may expect in the future in
the way Of business, through steam com
munication with our neighbors-
Happily, we were not unprepared to
welcome and care for the unexpected Wis
itors, who, for the sake of seeing our ISL
ands, were induced by the superior accom-
modations of the Montana, to make the
trip down here, and to send them back
with a good report of their visit. 1t is a
fair assumption that the travelling public,
especially that part of it who go for
change and recreation, are determined TO
the particular direction of their travel by
the convenience, accommodations and
comforts that are placed at their disposal
and use. We look upon the passenger
travel, whether our port is the way, or ter
minal one of the steamers, as the chief
means of advantage TO be derived by us
from the substitution of steamers for sail
ING packets. No one believes that sixty
persons could have been persuaded to
make a trip for pleasure across the ocean
that divides us from California, in a sail
ing packet; yet vessels of the latter class
have been, and possibly would be for some
years to come, satisfactory conveyances
for our freights, and tolerable ones at
least, for our business passengers. We
have looked upon the advent of steamers
as a step forward in our business pros
poets and facilities, as giving us advant-
ages that may be expanded and developed
largely to our profit.
We are, therefore, greatly interested in
their success, and in whatever is done in
perfecting their arrangements and for
making them popular with the travelling
public. Whatever we may do on shore,
or whatever may be done for comfort and
speed upon the sea, tends naturally to
build up that attraction for passengers
which will make the route to this port,
and from hence onward, a favorite one
for tourists. and a successful bidder for
public patronage.
There has been a gradual increase of
passengers arriving at our port since the
commencement of the steamers, and we
believe that this increase will continue to
go on at a more rapid rate, as the facilities
of the route and the port are improved.
None know better than railroad. steam
boat and hotel men, that business is de
veloped, and in many eases even created,
by the superior conveniences, comforts
and accommodations that are offered to
the public; and towns with progressive
ideas are not slow to avail themselves of
this fact.
We hope, therefore, to see Honolulu a
busy, thriving town, not only from the
shipping required to transport our produce
and supplies-as these win necessarily
come here with the growth OF our exports
and imports-or even from Its becoming
the way-port of cargo-carying steamers.
Our commercial and material prosperity
can be greatly enhanced through our be |
