we're to receive 81 per month"; and were paid IS
in advance, which they expended in purchasing
water, rice etc. the price paid for small cup OF
water being one dollar, and other things in pro-
portion. The captain in his statemnt denies that
any OF the contracts were signed en- board the
ship but that they were oil signed before the Su-
periuiendent of Chinese Emigration. He asserts
that the Chinese have had abundance of food dur
ing the passage and that they had not been unduly
punished, though they had attempted to set fire
to the ship while at sea the men whose hair he
had cut off being the leaders in the attempt.
Considerable interest has been taken in this in-
vestigatiOn among foreigners in Japan, and con-
siderable discussion has been had through the
press as to whether the Japanese authorities
have the right to question the treatment of the
people on board of the Maria Luz while at sea
and out of the jurisdiction of japan.
The engagement and transportation of laborers
at all the ports of supply in the Fast, with the
single exception of Macao, are, we believe, jeal-
ousIy watched by efficient officers, and every care
taken that emigrants are secured against iltreat-
ment at sea, as well as that good and sufficient
food is supplied for their maintenance during the
voyage We seldom hear of kidnapping in China,
except at Macao, or Of overcrOwded ships, insu'-
fcient food and water and consequent mutnies
among emgrants, except in vessels bound from
that port to Perm.

THE community of Honolulu have been
awaiting for some weeks, with considera-
bic interest, the decision of His Honor the
Police Magistrate on the legality of Hula
parties or dances The Legislature, in its
wisdom or urwisdom, intended to tabu
these performances, and until lately we
had supposed that it had succeeded in its
object, or at all events come so near it
that the statute (Sec. 9s Civil Code, as
amended by the Act of 1864, forbidding
them without license from the Govern
ment, might reasonably be regarded as
effective.
1t would seem, however, that doubts
have arisen in the mind of the Police
Magistrate in the Interpretation of the
law since the case of the King VS.. Kalua-
ioahu, Hanakaipo, Kaaoa, Manewa, Pupu-
hi, Kahele, Poohina, Hikimalama and Kino-
lua came before his court for its infringe
ment, inasmuch as the case was first called
before him on Oct 5th, remanded on the
9TH, 18th and l4th for further considera-
ton, since which time nothing has been
heard of it, at least, from the Official
Bench. We think it well to recall the cir
cumstance to the remembrance of the Po-
lice Magistrate, and hope that he will find
it convenient to render judgment in the
case within reasonable period. The re-
suits will be important, and the sooner the
public understand what is actually the
law of the land, the better it will be for
all concerned.

THE tact of Burgomaster Fischer of Augsburg
in his speech welcoming the Crown Prince of
Prussia to the hospitality of that city, drew from
the future Emperor of Germany an important as
surance against imperial Capitalization. In reply,
the Crown Prince said ITO all that you have
said l give my most hearty assent. Pes, you
have expressed what is the Emperor's conviction
as well as my own. Each constituent part of the
German Empire should remain in its every pecu-
anty Just what it was this will invest the great
common fatherland with a true conservation this
will furnish the best cement to that which we
have wrested from the bloody battle field" These
words had the more significance from the fact
that the Crown Prince of Prussia had personally
led the Bavaran troops in the campaign in
France and had publicly complimented their va
Tor and efficiency. In yielding themselves to the
leadership of Prussia the smaller states Of the
empire have no reason to apprehend the fate
which the King Of Hanover brought upon him
self by his Austrian alliance in 1866. The social
culture of Germany requires that she shall retain
her smaller capitals as seats of learning and art,
and her true political development must come
through unity of aim with individuality of ex-
preston, combination of interests without cen
tralization of power.-The Nation.

we consider that there is no silver coin in
general circulation here which is intrin-
sically worth the value it represents. To
pay twenty-one fve-franc pieces, or forty
two American halfdollars for a twenty
dollar gold piece, is really paying less
than its metallic value, and consequently
less than it is actually worth for trans
mission abroad. Therefore, as with Mex
lean dollars, gold for expectation is worth
more than its representative in silver, as
current here for purposes of domestic
trade
That the demand for gold to send
abroad should cause premium to be of
fered for certain coins, is not the least
argument in favor of depreciating the
silver coinage in use. a twenty dollar
gold piece simply represents for all pur-
poses of domestic trade twenty five-franc
pieces-it will purchase just as much mer-
chandise or exchange as the silver will,
and no more. 1t is certainly easier to
count given sum in gold than to count
the same sum in silver, and it is easier to
carry large sum in gold than in silver,
and it is also true that large sum in
Certificates of Deposit of coin in the Gov
eminent Treasury can be conveyed from
one place to another with much less in
convenience than gold or silver, and (be-
ing convertible at any moment into eoin)
is therefore preferable to either as a me-
dunn of transfer from one person to an
other in domestic transactions.
The silver coinage of the United States,
excepting the silver dollar has been pur-
posely made of less comparative value
than gold, for the purpose of checking
expectation and preventing 1t from being
melted up by silver-workers, and conse-
quently the two metallic currencies stand
precisely in the same relation to each
other that they do here. Silver is ex-
ported from there in bars or " bricks"
and gold in coin and bars. 1t is reported
that it is contemplated to coin the stand
ard silver dollar in the United States
mints If such is the case, it obviously
is with the view to make it available
for transmission to China and other
Asiatic countries where silver is pre-
ferable to gold for exchange in com
mercial transactions. As the position is
in this country at the present time in re-
gard to the demand for coin for exporta-
ton to China, if the silver in circulation
was available for the purpose, we should
soon begin to see a scarcity of that coin
also, and would be obliged either to i'm
port in proportion as we export, or find
some new medium for circulation.

kidnapping in Aexico.

i A late number of Ell Monitor Re-
publicano, Of the city of Mexico, men,
tions sixteen cases of recent kidnap-
ping, of all which were accompanied
by the most horrible barbarities.
Among, others. Senior Cervantes, a
wealthy citizen, was discovered in q
thicket near San. Lucus by Governor
MOntree and detachment of police.
Senor Cerventes was captured by five
robbers while ina coach going with his
family to his hotel. u
|~s His mouth was bandaged and his
ears stuffed by the Plaglarios or kid
nappers. While in the hands of the
kidnappers they gave him but one egg
q day to live upon. In house radja-
cent to where he wac found important
documents were discovered which show
ftle existence of a secret society COM
posed: Of various nationalities and
known as "Lower Italy," but more
commonly termed the .''Terrible So
ciety."" r.:,,. ST.
Of the five robbers who were engaged
in the Cervantees affair, three were
captured, two Spaniards, aged :respac-
lively eighteen ~ and twenty-five
years, and one Mexican, aged twenty
five years. They confessed: their
deeds, and. stated that the "Terrible
6pciety' was formed outside the re-
pablo Of Mexico. On the afternoon Of
I elr capture the three men were pub
bly shot in the PLAZA Of San Lucas,
before an immense assemblage.' In the
pocket of one of the victims was found
list of forty persons who had been
kidnapped. = ,.r7' -
u One case of atrocity is mentioned,
which probably has never been excelled
for it's brutality. The band, above
mentioned kidnapped a, Frenchman
named Bassot, and then cut; out his
Hhis eyes and tongne. Bassot died in
their hands. Fifteen persons have
been arrested on suspicion of being
connected in the shocking affair. -,
The Terrible Society, and the great
number of Plagiarios independent of
it, have of late created the greatest con-
sternation. When these bloodthirsty
villains cannot procure large ransom
for their victim, they usually kill him.
They are capable of committing the
most outrageous horrors, and seem to
delight in mangling the unfortunate
ones who fall into their hands. For
atroclty and barbarity the Plagiarios
OF Mexico rival the most vile brigands
of Italy. The Federal and State laws
of Mexico decree instant death to
Plagiarios. Knowing the faith that
awaits them they show no mercy.
Sworn enemies of society, they devote
their lives to robbery, plumber, muir
ders and assassinations. Although
hunted down like wild beasts, and
their ranks rapidly ,:thinned by the
large number captured and killed, still
the country is ,iafested by them, and
they seem to spring up like the tabled
dragons teeth. The outlaws compris-
ing Them have nearly all been soldiers
Fx the European and Mexican armies.

ma Clauser wac led out by two gems
d'nrmes. She had all along manifested
80 submissive spirit that it had been
deemed needless to pinion her arms,
She was dressed in black satin suit
and looked very handsome. There was
even o smile on her lips, and but for q
certain weird fire in her eyes, her
flushed checks, and the convulsive
heavings of her breast, one might have
thought almost that she was going to .
pleasure party, and not to her doom.
She was followed by a priest and sew.
eral prison officials. A few policemen
surrounded the scaffold. W..
After she had ascended the fatal
structure she looked for moment at
the block, and visible shudder
passed through her frame. The priest
said q few words to her, exhorting her
to confess her crime, but she shook her
head. Then the executioner approach
ed her, and in kindly voice asked
her to allow him to bare her neck. This
seemed to sting her to the quick. Look
ing wildly about her she burst into a
fierce scream, almost a yell, which
made everybody shudder. And then,
horrible to say, she flung herself from
the scaffold, and with a wild energy
she began to work her way through the
crowd, which was petri6ed with terror
and amazement at the unwonted scene.
The officers, however, overlook her in
q minute or two, and after a fierce
struggle, in which the doomed girl
fought like an lnfuriated tigress, and
bit one of the officers savagely in the
hand, she was bound hand and foot and
carried back to the scaffold, yelling
and shrieking all the time in her ter
ror and despair: The, headsman
quickly tore open her dress at the neck
and the struggling, screaming girl was
fastened to" the: block. A leathern
throng was attached to her head and
tied to the outside of the block, her
neck being stretched out to an unusual
length. .,;.'..
Now the executioner took his axe, a
large, formidable instrument, He
raised it quickly and struck The sick
ening walls of the victim ceased, of q
sudden. The head dropped down, and
the trunk raised itself mp, a large stream
Of blood sporting into the air two or
three feet high, while the executioner

scaftold in order not to be soi1ed Ivy
