OK THE SUBJECT of the proposed changes in the
currency, 50 important TO the community at
large and concerning which we expressed our
views last week, the Gazette of this week timidly
remarks in its commercial column What
effect it will have on our foreign exchange
remains TO be SEEN" Had our contemporary
been an independent journal, We should have
been surprised at its reticence on Il question that
concerns about every one but the decision of the
whole matter is by law in the hands of the
PriYy Council, the Gazette is the government
organ ;and Its editor a Privy Councillor. These
are cog mt reasons why that journal cannot reflect
public 'opinion.
4 Honolulu CORRESPONDENT Of one of the San
Francis co papers, among other extraordinary ut
teranee : has the following:
The King has given instructions to his Cabinet
10 pusl / a treaty with the United States, with the
Pearl River secession, and we hope to get it,"

Wednesday Morning, August 20, 1878.

The Now York Nation has an article
on the moral value of pay for members
of parliamentary bodies. It says that
our Congress. paid body, instead Of
being poor man's legislature, is the
Legislature Of large interests and of
great corporations. While the unpaid
members OF Parliament were forcing the
English railways to rnn cheap trains for
poor men, which the popular gratitude
has termed parliamentary trains, {"
Congress has been giving away the pub
lie lands to railway corporations. While
the rich men of the House of Commons
were keeping Hampstead Heath open
for tho poor Of London against the en-
croachments of rich nobieman, Con-
gress was presenting Mr.. Thomas Scott
with $780, 900 worth oEpropcrty in one
of the parks of Washington. The Me-
ton further says that the experience Of
mankind shows concIusiyely that when
poor man has brains or energy
enough to push his way into legislative
body, he is much mo apt to be intent
on getting rich himself than on looking
after the interests of his fellows in po-
yerty. The welfare Of the poor de-
pends, as it always has depended, upon
the cultivated intelligence and conscien-
tious sympathy of the legislator, and
these qualities, all the world over, are
least found in men who are engaged in
the struggle Of getting their heads
higher than their noighbors. Perhaps
the Nation's view will be regarded as
un.epubIican, in that it would contine
the selection Of our lawmakers to the
wealthier Glass of society, but the back
pny and salary grab would seem to
justify change Of some kind in the
character Of our legislators.

Arthur, Duke OF Edinburgh, Lord
Granville and the Duchess of Teck.
The two sisters, daughters of the King
OF Denmark-one the Princess of Wales
and future Queen of England, the other
the present Ozarevna of Russia-were
dressed exactly alike. They were tall
and slender, with jet-black hair and
eyes, and looked the queen in every
motion. Their dresses were Of pale
Eton blue, very family brooaded with
gold; the over-dresses of the most deli
cate canary color, richly but not gaudily
embroidered with pale gold. Both wore
hats corresponding; around them ran o
blade Of wheat, which dropped grace
fully over the hair. The Prince OF Wales
was very plainly dressed, in q DARK
colorcd suit, aud looks not very unlike
Gen. G. L. Anderson, of Columbia, S.
@. Both he and tho Duke of Richmond
wero on the track, as usual; in fact,
none Of the royal family hesitated to
mix with those on tho lawn. The Duke
of Cambridge was for the greater part
OF the day loaning against the rails or
chatting to his friend in the luncheon
wood. Tho Goodwood cup, which vas
really no cup at all, but silver shield,
embossed with representation of an
old fitting encounter, was exhibited all
day, in front of the royal box.

I cannot close this without few

up for it in the winter. Sometimes the
fog is 80 dense that business men are
compelled to sleep at their offices, for
fear Of getting lost in the streets. Po-
licemen stand at every corner, shouting
the name OF the street. and all the drays

o collision. I had intended to have
given few words about Westminster
Abbey, but will try to DO so soon.

METz.-A doubtful rumor comes to
as by cable telegram from Paris that
Metz Is to be restored to France through
the influence OF Russia. Coming from
Paris, and it being so improbable that
there is any truth in the report, We may
conclude, to use a familiar colloquial
expression, that the wish is father to the
thought. Poor France has bsen fear
fully despoiled by Germany, and has
had to pay dear for her vanity and the
folly If going to war, and one OF her
greatest losses was Metz. In a military
point of view this place had and has
immense value, and it is for that very
reason Germany demanded its cession,
and will, no doubt. hold it. Then,
what interest could Russia have in the
matter? Not one of the great dynastic
powers has any love for democratic and
revolutionary France. Besides. Russia
is too astute to make futile efforts in
such case. Much Rs we might wish
to SEQ the former possessions OF France
restored to her, we fear there is no
hope.
