he Mission OF General SchOGeld to
the Sandwich Islands.

Although the announcement made through
our special Washington correspondence, of
General Schofeld having been sent to the
Sandwich Islands, is given in a sort of diplo-
matte phraseology, there is, no doubt, serious
purpose on the part of our government to
prevent any undue foreign interference in the
affairs of the islands in consequence of the
death of King Kamehameha, and to protect
American interests there. General Schofield
is the highest military officer on the Pacific
coast, has the friendship and confidence of the
President and he goes in the frigate Colorado.
voyage for the benefit of his health, is supple
mented by the significant remark that the
State Department avails itself of this oppor-
tune occasion to charge him with secret and
important instructions, by telegraph, to
watch closely the course of events in
the Hawaiian Islands, to cooperate with
the American Minister, and to be care
full that nothing be effected by foreign influ-
ence inimical to American interests without
giving timely warning and full information to
tuc BoVcEuAhcut ~ VuoulhSVOu by lux the
greater part Of the foreign population in the
Sandwich Islands is American, and it has done
most in civilizing the natives. The business
and improvement of the islands have been car
ried on chiefly by Americans. In fact the
active and governing population is an Ameri-
can colony. Then, the Hawaiian Islands, from
geographical position, importance to our COM
merce in and across the Pacific, and with q
view to future telegraphic communication
under that ocean, have q peculiar and special
interest for the American government and peo-
ple The best thing for the American resi-
dents and intelligent natives to do now, per-
haps, is to establish republic, and, if neces-
sary, to place it under the protectorate of the
United States. The islands have great natu-
ral resources, and particularly for the growth
of sugar, coffee and other tropical products,
and must become at no distant day very valu-
able to our commerce We commend the
action of General Grant, and hope from it
good results.

Not hundred years ago there was founded
''The He'll Fire Club" having for its object
the promotion of vice. To England belongs
the glory of its birth, as to England belongs
the later glory of originating society for the
suppression of virtue. Club and society have
secretly disappeared from the mother country
to become the more firmly established in New
York, where an elective Judiciary and igno-
rant, unprincipled juries lend themselves to
the noble task Of making republican institu-
tons synonym for everything that is vile
We make this statement deliberately, with the
intention of proving it by the logic of events
taking for our premises the murders of the last
three years, list of which will be found in
another column.
Forty murders in 1870; sixteen Irish, ten
Germans, ten Americans, three English and
one Norwegian. Forty-fve murders in 1871;
twenty three Irish, nine Americans, four Eng
lish, four Germans, one Italian and one
Swiss. Fifty-six murders in 1872; twenty
Irish, nineteen Americans, eight Germans,
three English, two Swedes, one Italian and
one French. Five more murders in 1871 than
in 1870; eleven more murders in 1872 than in
1871-an increase Of sixteen murders in two
years Il crime progress in this frightful
ratio, who. within many months. will deserve
to escape hanging? Is It not about time for
those still alive who neither aspire to murder
nor be given in murder to inquire whether
self-preservation, which is supposed to be the
first law of nature, does not exact that more
heroic treatment should be administered to
artists in human butchery than now seems
fashionable? Is it enough to mildly rail
against total depravity in reading details of
the very latest homicide with one eye while
the other gazes complacently upon cup
of the very best coffee? When life
has grown to be such CHASTITY joke
that people wake up in the morning
and congratulate themselves upon not
having had their throats cut from ear to ear
by friends, bosom or otherwise, Is there not
something rotten in the body politic3 Does
it not behoove us to seriously ask why this
murderous orgy has been SO long tolerated and
what means shall be employed to bring 1t
to an end2 Would it not be well for those
very estimable gentlemen, known as the Com
mittee of Seventy, to whom we anxiously look
for all good things, to set their ponderous in
te,,ects 10 work out our salvation, ere the child
of the period becomes SO demoralized as to
crv for blood as it now cries for soothing
syrup? If the carnage do not soon cease,
"Give us this day our daily murder" will be
the popular form of prayer; and that such a
state of things should transpire under the
reign of the Seventy ought to convince
confding citizens of the necessity of doubling
even the divine right of this immaculate coun-
Gil. Words mean but little after blows, stabbing
and shooting have set in, and perhaps it
would be well TO tear leaf out Of California

Tue QUESTION OF CHURCH AND STATE
Is about to be solved in very simple and
satisfactory manner in Japan. The govern
ment of the Mikado has just declared that the
Department of Schools is to be henceforth
ranked alone and the Department of Religion
abolished-an easy solution Of one of the
difficult problems which at present distress
the Christian mind. The Japanese ruler
virtually says, the primer first and the prayer
book afterwards.

Cuban StruHgles and Cuban Hopes.
The affair at Holguin, in the Eastern De-
partment has shown itself of more oonse-
quence than at first believed. It is now
thought necessary to send there four hundred
troops from Havana. being the entire available
force of Spanish regulars in that city. This
would seem to indicate that the rebels are
making unusual efforts, and that the Spaniards
have been caught mapping. The capture of
tho reeimental chest at Holguin, as well as tho
capture Of the fort will be made the subject
of an investigation ON the plan adopted by the
French of late. II il surely bad enough to be
beaten and robbed without being punished by
court martial afterwards.
In another column we publish an interview
with prominent Cuban sympathizer, Seiior
Albania, who has lately arrived from Europe
The gist of his opinions appears to be that
the only one thing wanted to achieve Cuban
Independence is the moral support of the
United States governmeut-in other words,
the recognition Of Cuban belligerency. If the
revolutionists cannot succeed without this they
may have TO endure many another year Of
horrid struggle, unless the temper Of the gov
6fnment at Washington changes to an extra
ordinary degree. He takes very gloomy view
the chances of our Special Commissioner, Mr..
O'Kelly. We admit that the course Of the
Captain General in refusing safe conduct has
the appearance of want of friendly inten-
tons but when the sinister word assassina-
ton is uttered in connection with the Span
ish authorities and our Commissioner
we do not give it much weight.
The Spaniards know that the neutral repre-
sentative Of the HERALD, an independent
journal, is the most improbable subject on
which such crime could be committed. In
dealing with open enemies such things may
occur but ghosts of that kind were not in
vented to brighten men with an honest pur-
pose in the service of q great journal from full
filing impartially their allotted tasks. They
are men whom it is wise to assist, or at least
safer to let alone. The Spaniards are intel
lgent enough to be aware of this, as well as the
Cubans
The South American Republics according
to Seior ALBANIA, are awaiting the action Of
the United States before investing the Cubans
with belligerent rights It is curious they
should hit ON this excuse. AS things at pres.
emit stand it is o cruel one The strongest
hopes of the Cubans appear to be founded on
Spanish weakness, present and prospective,
and the agitation against slavery in England.
They both promise to be very slow cures fol
the Cuban malady.

that human life be made a. secure ~ 1t Is
possible to make it. But it il idle 10 pursue
the subject. for only legal restraint and direc-
ton can effect the necessary reform.
There is one aspect Of this Fifth Avenue
Theatre FIRE which demands confederation.
Had 1t not been for the immense masses of
snow In the streets, which retarded the Ere
men In reaching the scene of the fire and kept
them from doing their work with the efficiency
with which it would have otherwise been done,
the building might have been saved from be-
coming the complete wreck it is. Somebody
is responsible for the condition of tho streets,
and this, as we'll as the cause of the fire, is a
subject for searching investigation. In word,
we ask that the frequent recurrence Of fires in
this city be taken up In all it's aspects, so that
this latest of warnings may be the last of pub
lie calamities resulting from the i'll construc-
ton of buildings and other causes.

PRIZE ASSOCIATION SwINDLEs.-We are con-
stantly in receipt of letters like one just re-
ceived from gentleman in st. Louis, asking
whether the Mercantile Prize Association Of
New York is swindle, and referring to an
advertisement Of the association" quoting
the HERALD's alleged testimony to tho fair
dealing Of its projectors We cannot tell
whether projects of this kind are or are not
swindles but whenever gift concern quotes
the HERALD as endorsing it it is fair to assume
that it is as unfair as it is untruthful Tho
HERALD endorses no institutions of this kind.
and in the present instance there was not a
line in our advertising columns even in rela-
ton to the association" or it's business.

is more than two-thirds republican, thus, in
connection with the equally large republican
majority in the Senate, placing the whole re-
sponsibility of the State and city government
on the shoulders of that party.
Since election o curious question has been
raised. While General Dix recognizes and
acknowledges in his first official remarks that
'the decided expression Of popular opinion"
in the recent election was "a strong declara-
ton in favor of o marked line of policy
in other words, that the people resolved to
place the power and responsibility of govern
ment in the hands of the republicans as q
party--the old associates and more recent
friends of Mayor Havemeyer who are Of the
democratic faith, and who supported him in the
election, are putting in their claims to a share
of any patronage he may have to distribute.
The Committee of Seventy-the self-consti-
tuted agency of the reformers-protests against
the republican absorption of the Mayor, and
insists upon controlling his appointments in
the interest of reform" AS the Committee
of Seventy also nominated and supported Mr..
Havemeyer, its late presiding officer, there
may at first appear to be some good founda-
ton for this latter claim but in order to test
it's Justice it is necessary to recall the position
of the committee before the election. The
gentlemen who composed that body protested
political independence, and avowed themselves
rs simply desirous of holding restraining
hand over the political parties in order to
compel them TO make good nominations.
They did not sock Office for themselves of
