Sensible Ideas.

The San Jose Mercury, in replying to the in
quiry of one of its correspondents, as to whether
it favored Chinese immigration, gives utterance
to the following manly sentiments, which, how
ever they may differ from the narrow ideas of the
Chinese-haters in California, are the principles
on which American liberties and prosperity are
based:
This. in our judgment, is the sum of the whole
matter: We want, and must have, cheap labor of
some sort, if we would develop our material re-
sources, and in any manner compete with other
countries in manufactures. We are far too re-
moved from the great centres of white popula-
ton to expect much from that source; hence we
must make the best use Of such labor as we can
command. The Chinaman is at our door. He is
healthy, willing and strong-handed. If he is
wanting somewhat in the Christian virtues be
minds his own business and doesn't get drunk.
We would be blind to our best interests not to
use him. We might as well quarrel with now
ing machine, or . steam pillow. as to question the
utility Of Chinese labor, in our present condition
We wonder how the croakers would get around
the fact, that, notwithstanding the large influx of
Cinnamon to this coast, the wages for white labor
of nearly all kinds are higher than they were ten
years ago
The above is altogether in advance of the pop
ular sentiment in America, but it Is the only true
stand to take, and public opinion win ultimately
endorse it. The time is not far of when Chinese
labor will supply Europe and America with work
men for building their railroads, working their
yet almost undeveloped mines Of coal, lead, cop
per, iron, gold and silver, for tending their acto-
ries Of every kind, and perhaps for manning their
steam marine, in all which branches labor is now
becoming so scarce and expensive that the supply
of every kind of product is rapidly falling below
the demand, end prices are advancing to famine

The French Republic

Has paid off the entire ransom demanded by
Germany-one thousand millions of dollars-and
the German armies have withdrawn from her
territory. 1t is doubtful whether any other ma
ton has ever undertaken to raise and pay off SO
great foreign claim in so short time. 1t is
the best evidence of the wealth of the French
people. In addition to this, it must be remem.
bered that the nation has exported an nually over
seven hundred millions OF dollars of its products,
while it imports some sixty millions less, thus
keeping the balance of trade in its favor. The
revenue of the French Government amounts to
over two hundred millions Of dollars annually
Never during the reign of Napoleon we're the
evidences of national prosperity greater than they
have been under the republic. One reason is
probably more economical administration, a
policy which the government has been compel
led to pursue in order to free itself from the Ger
man bondage in which it was placed. To Presi-
dent Theirs in great measure is due the credit
attaching to the present prosperity of France,
and it is to be hoped that she may continue I'M
der an economical Republican administration, for
which all classes in that country are maniiesting
a strong preference.

stead Of his Majesty. The third resolution sug-
gested the name Of D. Kalakaua as the nominee.
After some discussion, Mr.. J. p. Green rose and
ridiculed the resolutions in the most sarcastic
manner, which had the effect of not only shaming
but irritating the leaders of the meeting and they
called on him to desist, which he declined to do,
when they attempted to put him out. Here
several friends of the speaker came to his aid,
aud declared that any one who struck blow
would be summary dealt with. This created q
general excitecent, and it began to look rather
squaly, when Rev Mr.. Pilipo took the stand,
struck his cane Justify on the table till he com
manded silence, when he stated that if any per
son was struck blow in Kaumakapili Church,
its doors would be closed to all political gather
ings so long as he had charge of it. This had the
desired effect, and the audience left the house
without passing the resolutions.
1t is quite evident that these gatherings are
encouraged by certain parties who are bent on
creating disorder. 1t was very impolitic to call
a meeting for the object for which this was con-
vened, as it is matter entirely outside the prov
ince Of the few who assembled at Kamakaplli
Church. 1t belongs entirely to His Majesty to
name whomsoever he may choose, and to Him it
must be left In the interest of the public peace,
we cali on all to use their influence to discourage
these lawless gatherings, which can do no good,
and may lead TO serious results.

Fiji.

Our advices from Fiji, via the Colonies are tc
about June lst The native parliament had
closed its session, and the government appears
to have had things pretty much its own way, as
the presence of an English war vessel and the
determined attitude of its Commander, kept the
indictments, among the foreign population quiet
A correspondent, referring to the Government
says: THE experiment of selfgOvernmeut in
our small community has not been altogether a
happy one. The constituent members of the
body polite have not been of character to Sc
cure that cohesion in the mass which was neces-
sury to build up firm and substantial ediice.
Petty jealousy, say some, has been allowed to ill.,
terfere with the builders of fabric now apparent
ly tottering and weak"
Mr.. Edgar Layard has been appointed British
Consul, in place of Mr.. March. OF the new con-
sui we have the following reference !: ID" He has up
to this period been stationed at Para, Brazil and
as man of great scientific attainments, will in
some respects prove extremely valuable in quar-
ter Of the globe where natural history researches
have been necessarily somewhat limited. Wheth-
er this appointment has been the result of the
efforts made by some persons in Levuka to dis
lodge Mr.. March is not known, but 1t is to be
hoped that in any case Mr. Layard will do his
duty by the man-stealers as faithfully and fear
lessly as ever did his predecessor"
A Melbourne firm intends to introduce aud
erect sugar mill, for which cane was being plant
ed, and is found to thrive very well. 1t is sup
posed that it will grow on the highlands in the in
terror even better than it does near the seashore
Should this be found to be the cise the area of
land that can be brought under sugar cultivation
will be very large, and the residents think Fiji
will become in time a second MaurItius.

Can IL be Enforced?

The old Bay State seems to have great deal
of trouble in carrying out her local prohibitory
laws. For instance, we read, as follows: "On
Saturday afternoon, July &C. the State constables,
assisted by local officers, visited a large number
of saloons in Worcester, where Schencks beer
was sold, and seized all that could be found, the
total amount being about one hundred kegs.
Most of the saloons visited we're kept by Ger
mans who had already been twice arraigned for
dealing 10 the article, but their stock had never
before been taken. Immediately after the seizure,
some of the saloon keepers got in new stock,
and second seizure was made. In the evening
nearly all of the saloons were open and doing
business until their stock was exhausted" And
SO they keep on violating the law, simply because
public sentiment 10 Massachusetts does net sus-
tain the sweeping enactment, which prohibits
not only intoxicating drinks but beers, which are
not properly classed under that head.

The TicI1borne Case.

Some strong evidence is said to have been
brought forward lately coroborating the state
ments of the claimant, who testified that when
the ship Bella was lost, he was saved by the
schooner Osprey, whose existence was supposed
to be myth. One of the crew of the Osprey
now comes forward and testifes that he rescued
the claimant and gives all the particulars, SO
infinitely as to non-plus the lawyers on the op-
posite side One of the attornies of the claimant,
Mr.. Whaley, has arrived 10 San Francisco, and
finds the statements of the sailor who lived there,
correct in every particular. Regarding this in-
teresting suit, the Bulletin has the following

has been created by the length Of the trial. The
facts are simple. a young man who has been
long absent from home returns after unusual sd-
ventures and vicissitudes. He is recognized by
his mother, and lives with her until her death

public that be readily raises el00,000 to aid him

answered that he was. The family solicitor re-
turned the same answer. But she did not wish

A Valuable Island.


An English company has recently purchased
the island of Santa Catalina, located little
above San Diego, California, spot which many
of our sea-faring residents are familiar with The
enormous sum of S3,75O,OOO is said to have been
paid for it. Heretofore it has been known chiefly
as an extensive sheep run. 1t is about the same
size as Nihau, in this group, which was sold o
few years since for ten thousand dollars, and is
now used as a sheep run. One of our exchanges
has the following particulars about its SIZE which
explains why it is so valuable: Santa Catalina
Island is situated almost south and in front of
San Pedro Bay, about twenty five miles from the
main land, and embraces an area of 4S,S25 acres.
1t was originally granted and finally confirmed to
James Lick, of this city, by whom it was decided
last fall to Forster, Downey and others for two
million dollars, with the view of throwing it on
the English market. 1t value consists chiefly in
its deposit of gold, silver and copper, numerous
veins of which have been discovered and partly
developed. 1t is at present used exclusively as
sheep pasture, but now that it has got into the
hands of these English capitalists operations for
the full development Of its mineral deposits are
likely to be at once resumed"

The Date Tree.

Why is it that the date palm is not planted
more here than it is? There are very few of these
trees bearing fruit at these islands We have
two near our residence in School street, one of
which is a male and the other female, which
are about twenty years old. The former bears
only flowers while the latter is loaded with
fruit, which when ripe is delicious and sweet
We have counted twenty-five punches on it this
year, and estimating each bunch to produce
peck Of dates, this single tree will yield five and
half bushels annually. Two rules must be OBJ
served, in order to obtain this fTuit,-a male tree
must be the vicinity of the female tree, and at
least two rows of leaves or branches must be cut
off each year. They will grow in dry soil where
no other tree will thrive. A recent traveller in
Arabia and Egypt says that he found seventy
three different varieties growing there, but among
all these only one is considered desirable for ship
ment. In Arabia and also in MesopOtamia, this
writer says, the gardeners substitute the law of
nature instead of the artificial process. The fe-
males are planted in clusters, and male tree is
generally planted in the midst of every four or
FIVE female trees. When the flower of the male
tree becomes dry in the blossom, the wind scat
tiers the pollen far and near, and the female tree
becomes fruitful. The dates of Tor and around
Mount Sinai are small, dry and sweet. They
are sold by weight, in packages covered with kid
skins, and in this shape are sent to Europe. A
plantation of date palms would in few years re-
turn n hondromo ipcop,a "a &c orpor ,pd ro,,r;-o

The One Great vice.

The London Times, speaking Of the drinking
custom of the age, writes thus fOrcibly =" The
world cannot be governed by absolute ideas.
That there is a great evil among US is patent
to all men. It is eating away the life of the peo-
pie. 1t is not to be met BY any defamation
against intemperance. But phianthropists, and
even economists, regard its existence as national
danger as well as pu0lc loss. To arrest it in
some way or other is an obvious duty, not from
any logical standpoint such as would satisfy the
teetotaler, but because 1t is found to be source
of misery and wretchedness to great mass Of
the people. 1t is found that every low public
house has its surrounding of drunkenness that
an increase Of such public houses mutiplies the
number Of drunkards that in every neighbour
hood where house Of this description is estab-
lished it demorazes a section of the people
that the inducements offered to consumption dali
ly and hourly destroy the lives of men that
every newspaper shows victim; that every
gaol delivery shows criminal, who has been
made so by the fatal snare. 1t, therefore, be-
comes necessary to do something. No

it is thought that by stopping the multiplication
Of pubIc-houses, and by suppressiug those that
are manifestly unfit, this will be promoted. Men
who discard logic an absolute guide are there
fore prepared to acquiesce in some such measure.
They say the evil is SO terrible, and increasing
so fast, that it must be arrested. If there is no
other way Of stopping fire it must be done BY
a barrel of gunpowder under the adjoining premi-
ses. 1t is bad thing TO interfere with mems
liberty, or to adopt doubtful principles in govern
ment, but it is so sad to see men dying by hun
dreds and thousands from drunkenness, that some
thing must be done if by confscAtion it must be
done; if by compe nsation, it must be done; if
by creating something which assumes the charac
ter of monopoly, it must be done. The world
has pronounced the evil to be intolerable. This
is the state of the question at the present mo-
ment in England, and next session the Parlia-
ment will be occupied in discussing it."
