THr oouvUSIcAroS Of j.. o. {. in to-day's
paper gives some surprising statistics Of the
opium trade in these Islands, showing its import
ance in q financial point OF view The figures,
however. large A. they may look 10 us. are far
from representing the actual cost 10 the country
OF the use Of opium. An immense aggregate
might be figured up of what may perhaps appro-
~priatcly be termed consequential damages,
consisting Of broken constitutions, disease and
death. o- the material and moral ruin of q great
many Hawaiians. Where is the accountant who
shall tabulate these latter statistics? We have
from time 70 time in these columns given warn
ing Of the alarming increase Of the use Of opium
among the natives. That increase has Seen most
rapid during the past six years, or from 1866 to
1872. While the number of Chinese in the
country during those years has been increased by
only 732, the apparent per capita cost Of COLI
sumption of the drug has increased during that
period in the sum Of no less than SIO.2j! These
figures tell a startling tale of the extensive sys-
tenn of evasion of law which is going on. 1t
shows that the Chinese merchants who bid such
large sums for the privilege of dealing in the drug
J are neither victims of a mania nor imprudent
SPECTATORS. They are operating on Il pretty sure
thing, = growing business, trade in an article the
demand for which increases with the supply, and
Will continue to increase 80 long as the business
continues to be legaiized. Large quantities of
opium are sent of TO the other islands by the
coasting vessels, consigned to Cinnamon, but, as
we believe can be proved, in large part consumed
by natives. We shall be glad to receive for pub
LEGATION any facts that may be furnished us in re-
gard to the use of the drug by natives. We need
the evidence for production before the next Legis-
ture.
But, we are told, if you refuse to license the
safe of opium and interdict its traffic as now car
ried on, there will be n vast deal of smuggling.
We doubt very much the soundness of this view.
With proper vigilance on the part of the police
and custom-house officers, the quantity thus in
:roduced into the country would be very limited,
and the chances for its being obtained by natives
would be few and far between.

The Situation in France.

The news by the mail shows that the Monarchists
have at length succeeded in getting the upper hand
in the Assembly, and as a result, Theirs has been
compelled to resign. Marshal Mcmahon, who is
popular with some classes IN France, but particularly
so with the army, succeeds Theirs, and although he
promises and doubtless intends to maintain the stQfu
quo until the new election Of the National Assembly,
there is no telling what complications may arise
through the Vaccinations of the Monarchists that
may set the Republic aside, and perhaps again
plunge France into civil war. We give n resume of
the recent events which eliminated in the change of
Presidents.
On the 23d of May, the conflict which had been
long pending burst forth. NJ. Dufaure, Minister of
Justice, declared, on the part of the Government,
that it was now necessary to abandon the provisional
regime and acknowledge the Republic. After that
declaration President Theirs mounted the tribune to
speak, but such a storm of objections arose that his
voice was drowned in the uproar. The Assembft
would not listen to the man who had done so MUG
for France. After consultation the Minister of Jr-
tice assembled the tribune and demanded that Pre-
dent Theirs, in accordance with a law adopted athe
last session, should be allowed to address the Asfm-
bly, on the following day, which was granted and
the body then adjourned.
VI III iOAOhihS AlOEuInS IEesluenI liner aI-
dressed the Assembly, and upon the concluNn Of
his speech the recess was taken. On reconveing in
the afternoon, after an address from Periere Minis
ter of the Interior, a vote was taken, in witch the
Right triumphed by 36s to 344 votes. Inense ex-
element followed, and the subsequent doate was
very bitter. 1t was decided to have a night session
and a recess was taken until the evening Shortly
after the session was resumed, the Ainiser of jus
tice announced that the Ministers had teKiered their
designations, and that President Theirs had accepted
them. This was soon followed by q communication
from the latter announcing that ne delDered back to
the Assembly the high powers with which he had
been invested. The Monarchists expected the result
and we're prepared to meet it. General Changarnier
and the Duke de Brogle moved th@ the Assembly
Immediately appoint his successor. The Left moved
that the resignation be not accepted, but the motion
was lost by a vote of Sos to 339. The Monarchists
voted their full strength, while of the Republicans
FIVE were either absent or did not vote. The Right
insisted upon an immediate vote for q President, and
Marshal Mcmahon received 399 votes ; the Deputie
Of the Left abstained from voting. y

ISLAND HOSPITALITY.

As the Athenians wearied of hearing Aristides
called The Just, so we confess to have sometimes
felt that we could get on without the everlasting
name for hospitality. Time was when strangers
were diligently sought after here, lest some chance
should be lost to 50 entertain angels unawares."
Newcomers were often surprised by attentions
which they had not the slightest reason to ex-
pect; but of late years the stream of travel has
changed all this in Honolulu. Strangers come,
look about, ask questions and we hope get polite
answers, are made comfortable at their hotel or
boarding-place, and go away, attracting no further
notice than being recognized as tourists. Prob
ably these tourists write no more nor less intelli-
gently or kindly about us than their sort were
wont to do when beset with : Island hospitality
Travellers come here now as they go elsewhere,
introduced if they like, or without making special
acquaintance.
There is still Il real difficulty however in trav-
cling upon the other islands of the group, which
is not confined to visitors from abroad. 1t is
often the case that the houses where one would
enjoy most TO stay are not houses of public enter
t%ainment, but happen to belong TO private gentle
men whose entertainment cannot be paid for. and
who naturally may not care to have the bother
and often the expense OF people coming in upon
them, and making themselves " at home" We
know from experience that our rural population
do not share in the delusion that they are ever
longing for visitors to relieve them of their dull
monotony of life, and that n reputation for hos
pitality is the one thing on which they pride
themselves, whether the guest be self-invited or
not. Well give you letters to the AS and the
BIS and the C's," says our Honolulu resident to
any one starting off to the other islands = they'll
be only too glad to see YOU" and the letters of
introduction are given merely to pay off some
business favor, or to gain n name for doing favors,
or what not, to those on whom the introducer
has no claim, for persons Of whose private char
acter or social standing he may or may not be
certain. The impositiOns thus placed on country
residents by well-meaning but unthinking friends,
are sometimes disagreeable rs well rs burden
some, and are not repaid by a bid to dinner dur
ing a yearly business run to Honolulu.

IT Is THE opinion of all medical men who have
examined the subject, that the presence of syph-
Ills, either acquired or hereditary, in the blood,
renders an individual peculiarly susceptible to
contagiOn from the form Of leprosy now known in
these Islands; and farther, that syphilis is prima-
rily the basis of leprosy. This view of the sub
ject will appear reasonable to any one, not a med
ical man, whose acquaintance with the Hawaiians
has been in any degree extended and familiar.
Admitting them that the position assumed is cor
rect, we must arrive at the conclusion that, while
our measures for eliminating and isolating all
known lepers are highly proper and necessary, and
should be vigorously prosecuted at whatever labor
and expense, yet we are after all, working at only
one side of the evil,-that we are attacking the
effect, and neglecting the cause. By permitting
unrcstrainedly the growth and spread ofsyphilitic
diseases among the people, we are surely and
rapidly providing material for the terrible last
stage of all the leprosy. No one can doubt,
who viii thoughtfully consider the facts, that the
ignorance, the visionary prejudiees, and the list
lessness of our lawmakers and those who hsve
influenced them, must answer for the present hor-
rible pit of destruction that lies Just before the
Hawaiian people.
II is full time to cast aside our false delicacy
and abstract ideas upon this subject, and resolve
to act promptly and euergetically. True philau-
throPy points to our duty let us be prepared to
meet it, aud when the next Legislature meets let
the friends of humanity who desire to save the
remnant of the race from utter extinction be pre-
pared with facts and arguments on the side of
the needed action.
These reflections have been suggested by read
ing the very able and thoughtful letter, addressed
10 the physician Of the Queens Hospital by the
Fleet Surgeon attached to II. B. Ms. ). RepuZse.
and which appears elsewhere in these columns.
Coming from a medical gentleman of his high
position, the observations of DIR. Hogan are
worthy of the most careful consideration by all
who take an interest in the welfare and perpetuity
of the Hawaiian race. And We may add, that
the observations and conclusions contained in
this letter are almost identical with those OF DIR.
Leach, Of the L.. 5. ). California. The addenda
TO DR.. HOggan's letter, respecting certain navy
regulations, are Of interest; but particularly de-
serving of consideration are the suggestions con-
tained in the body of the letter ~ TO the treat
