Liquor Shops VS.. Beer Shops.

Mr.. Editor Whenever q licensed retailer of spirits
is caught selling or furnishing a native with q glass
of spirits, he is Cor is supposed to be) heavily fined,
from $50 up to $500 or $500. This is the law, and
so far, it is all right-provided it is administered to
all alike. But there are q number of petty beer
shops, so called, where r~eputably all sorts of yillainous
compounds are sold to the natives, and whence comes
the most of the drunkenness seen on our streets.
These shops are not licensed, and unlike the liquor
shops, add nothing to the revenue. They do q good
business, | am told. A barrel of molasses costs II
cents a gallon, and made into beer, brings $40 or
$50. This business is well known to the police, and
occasionally we hear of a beer seller being brought
up in the Police Court. There, the ofense of selling
intoxicating substances being proved, ~(without
license, and to natives) the Magistrate imposes a fine
of Twenty-Five dollars. That sym has been the in
variable figure In a number of cases brought before
His Honor within the past month or more, and a sec
ond offense was visited with no increase of the fine.
Now that amount is quite inadequate to put a stop to
the traffic, and in fact it is merely a tax which the
successful beer seller can easily pay, mare than once,
and continue the business. Is there any fairness in
the way in which the Police Magistrate distinguishes
between the licensed publican and the illicit beer
seller?
Look at the law "Whoever shall sell, givegFnr-
chase or procure for, or on behalf of any native Of
this Kingdom, any s%pirituous liquor, or other %fntOri-
eating drink or substance, shall be fined not exceed
ing $780, And again "Whoeyer shall manu-
facturs for sale any intoxicating drink or substance
in this Kingdom, shall be liable to a fine of fTghun-
dred dollars" sc. But our Police Magistrate, after
looking at these provisions of the law, tenderly i'm
poses a fine of $50 on the party convicted of manu-
featuring and ceiling to natives, the intoxicating
drink or substance known as beer How can we ex-
pect that an end will ever be put to the carrying on
of such establishments as Christensen's for instance,
where the stabbing ARRAY occurred, so long as they
are thus leniently dealt with PUBLIcUs.

The Last Word.

Mr.. Editor l was pleased to observe by your issue
of last week, that you have determined for the future
10 take no notice of the GaSefe's SANDER and per-
sonality; and now that you have thus taken your
stand 1 will say that you have done wisely. Quarrels
between newspapers, in which each strives to see how
sharply it can lampOOn and reort upon the other,
may amuse small minds; but they fail to interest the
general public, and are very apt TO disgust, The
public of Honolulu have long since learned to prop
erly appreciate The Gazette and it's editor; any ex-
posures or showing up that you may level at the con-
Germ cannot add to its reputation for unreliaoilIty;
and no abuse coming from that quarter can hurt any
body. In fact, it has BEEN said that for any one to
be attacked by the Gazette was a good sign; as also
that to be praised by it was a misfortune. Therefore.
it is sincerely hoped by your friends that you will al
low it to have the last word, like any other garrulous,
scandal-loving old woman. CITIZEN.

A MAMMOTH STARCH FACroRY--Tbe Kinssfords'
Starch Factory at Oswego, n. Y. Is by far the
largest establishment OF the kind in the world.
The building Il 200x6l5 feet, and contains 52l 900
square feet of flooring, which. i. ia a single room,
would cover over twelve acres. II has 600 cisterns,
with an aggregate capacity Of 100000 gallons.
It has three and one-fourth miles Of water pipes,
and over twenty-five miles OF steam pipes for dry
ing starch aud warming the establishment. Nine
hundred and afty thousand bushels OF corn Is
annually consumed in the manufacture Of 10000
tons Of starch. The factory employs over COO
hands, and uses 1000, 900 feet Of lumber for boxes,
and 300.009 pounds Of wrapping paper in the
manufacture OF packages. This immense establish
ment was built up by Mr.. Thomas Kingsford, who,
aboHt forty years ago, Arst discovered the process
Of making starch from corn. His first experiment.
was made with less than half a bushel Of corn,
while employed in the starch factory OF Collegiate
d. Co, OF New York, where they we're manufactur-
ing starch from damaged aour and wheat. To-day,
the Kingsford starch 10 used Ia every part Of the

The California wheat crop this year, II the re-
ports Of the prospects there are not exaggerated,
will be an enormous one. The San francisco pa
pers say the lowest estimate OF the surplus for ex-
port this season IL double the expectation Of tho
last crop. Last year nearly 100000 acres in
California were sown with wheat, the yield being n
comparatively small one on account Of nnfavora-
BILE weather, there being about 10000 900 bushels
given. This year at least two millions OF acres
much heavier per acre, so that the average of the
estimates Of the expected crop is 100000 bush
els. Calculations Of the expected home and seed
ing consumption Of wheat in California place II at
not over 9.000,0 900 OF bushels, so that at least 26,-
O00, 900 bushels will be available for export. With
all this produce waiting TO feed the rest OF tho
world, CALIFORNIA; fear now IS that n sufficient
number Of vessels may not come 70 San Francisco

Ma. EDITOR IL send you a short quotation from
La Bruyere, the celebrated French moraliss, which
l think is applicable to your contemporary
"To speak and to offend, with some people, are
but one and the same thing; their words are fraught
with gall and ~wormWood, from a proud, splenetic
and malevolent disposition; it had been we'll for
them had they been born stupid or mute; the little
viyacity and wit they have, prejudice them more
than dizziness does others. They are not always sat
isfed with giving sharp answers; they i~nsolently at
tack the present, and wound the character Of the
absenti they bristle up and butt on all sides like
rams; and impudenee being as natural to them as
horns to q ram, no ridicule, no satire, no argument,
can work upon these untractable savages; we had
better at first sight betake ourselves to our heels,
and by a prudent fight avoid their mOlestations."

ASSAULT WITH a DEADLY WEAPoN-The unfortu-
nate stabbing aHrsy of Saturday night last, will not,
it is now confidently hoped, result fatally for SPeck-
mann, the worst wounded individual of the two.
Gertz, who was at first reported to be dangerously
cut, was so far recovered from his injuries on Thurs
day as to be out on the street. Pending the prelim-
mary examination in the Police Court, (Which has
been postponed from day TO day awaiting the result
as to Speckmann) the facts of the case as near as
can be ascertained are as follows: GertE and Speck-
mann, who are both German residents and mechanics,
were out on Saturday evening taking a walk about
town in company with a stranger, the first officer of
the bark r. C.. Uylie. On Beretania street, they
called into a place kept by one Christensen, where
a. orange cider" ETC., is soda somewhat noted
resort for sailors and loose women. The house where
these latter lodge is just in the rear of Christiansen's.
and there Morrow, (the sailor from the Benicid,
who is charged with the ~stabbing) was in bed with q
woman. This woman came out of the room into the
yard where the three Germans we're, when Speck-
mann accosted her in the native language, and as
she says, tried TO induce her to leave her man.
Morrow then came out and an alteration and a
scnfie ensued, in which canes were used by the
Germans, and Morrow, getting away, ran into a
room occupied by a shipmate and got q knife. The
Germans now endeavored to leave the premises, and
while Christensen was in the act of undoing the
fastenings of the street door, Morrow came upon
them from behind and commenced stabbing at Gertz
and Speckmann, whe defended themselves with their
canes. As soon as the door was opened, Christensen
ran out and called the police, and Morrow, having
inflicted four severe wounds each on Gertz aud
Speckmann, disappeared and went Immediately on
board his ship where he was subsequently found,
and taken to the lookup For several days, follow
ing Saturday night, grave fears were entertained
that speckmann's injuries would prove fatal, as one
of the stabs received by him must have penetrated
the bowels, but excellent care and a good constitution
have happily saved his life. The preliminary exam
ination in the case is set for this morning, at ten
o'clock

Mississippi seems to be the last place in the
