KING RALdRfU.rS VISIT.

The festivities and ceremonies which were
to have welcomed the King of the Sandwich
Islands in Washington are delayed on account
of cause which every one will regret. The
King has received, all along his route to the
Capital, the kndest and heartiest demonstra-
tions of welcome. If the attentions paid him
have been little too much allOyed with Curl
osity, and if the exuberant high spirits of the
local press have leavened their expressions of
welcome with more than O decOrous infusion
of wit and humor. there has still been no rea-
son to doubt the good will and kindliness
with which both the Government and the
people are inclined to receive this visit from the
Sovereign of the beautiful archipelago Of the
Pacific. But there has been one discOur-
tesy from q source beyond tho control
of Presidents and Common Councils.
The weather has been inhospitable and
King Kalakaua has not been able to with
stand its rudeness. Accustomed as he has
been to climate where it is June all the
year round, the sudden exposure to the shock
of an American Winter has resulted, as might
have been expected, in o severe cold. We all
hope that the skill and care which he will
meet with in Washington may soon restore
him to health, and when the process of accli-
mating is over, that he may begin to enjoy
the pleasure and the profit which he expected
from this journey. Such jaunt is not with
out danger, as several scions of Pacific royalty
have already proved; gentle and winning
young people who went to England to see the
world, and soon faded away, leaving short
lived recollections among those who knew
them of amiability and intelligence combined
with native delicacy and dignity.
As to the annexation projects attributed to
the King and the President, it is not neces-
sary to insist upon them for the purpose of
explaining this visit. King Kalakaua is q
man of active and serious character, who has
recently been placed in a position where he
can do much to improve the condition of his
little kingdom, or to accelerate its final ex-
tinction. For such q ruler there is great
advantage to be derived from travel and OBJ
servhtion. OF course no sensible person would
dream of applying to the miniature COM
muRity of which he is the head a system of
government or administration only applicable
10 great nation. But q clear headed man

ments that abe is ono Of the nations preats,,
stars that illuminate the w0rld,r and tbs,
"ForeIgn pOwers-nations-knOw that sta,
"and realize it's magnitude" The description
is 40 strictly within the facts that the vav.
faring man cannot fail to recognize thu
picture. Very few statesmen in our time hays
exhibited such marked siderell characteristics,
He is a star that has sometimes burned blue.
but the on-lookng nations have recognized
him by his magnitude rather than bis color.
The Bcrrien Springs newspaper. however.
carries it too far, we suspect, when it says.
"it will take long time for another younger
"star to reach its present magnitude and b.
cable to occupy'its place in the constellation
For notwithstanding the brightness and beauty
and magnitude Of the star Zachariah, We have
strong suspicion that Michigan can furnish
considerable number Of younger stars
who would be willing to give bonds to occupy
Zachariah's "place in tao constellation" il
the chance were offered them.
WedO not quite understand The meaning OF tho
Berrien Springs newspaper when it says: . In
L" the mean time, we have lost ground as well
cas- prestige and the confidence OF foreign
"powers and to change relations in this par
"ticular to satisfy few tickle, whining minds
"of the Republican party, who are inspired
"by the opposition in their good Lord and
good devil, is decidedly out of place, and
"void OF substantial principle" For how
could we have lost "grounP and prestige
and a. tho confidence of foreign powers" whila
the star Zachariah has been illuminating the
world, and "foreign powers-nations-kne
" that star, and realized its magnitudeT No;
we must take issue with the Berrien Springs
astronomer. We do not deny that Zachariah
is sta,, and "one of tho nations greatest
"stars." Very few have been 80 often "mar-
shaled on the nightly plain" and none 81
constantly fixed % the sinners wandering eye.r
But the truth is. there is q growing dispOSi.
ton on tho part Of the people to make a
change in the star business. Mr.. Chandler ha,
been starring it for eighteen years, and great
many people about the country are willing to
see some other star rise in his place, even though
it should not be in the Great Bear, nor have
any relations with the Dipper.
New-York tribune., 1874-12-15
UOW TO GET At TIE FACTS.

We trust that the members of the Ways
and Means Committee are all duly grateful to
TIE TRIBUNE for having put them III the
way of some valuable witnesses. Dir. Parsons,
in his yesterdays explanation, certainly salts
fed them that we were not mistaken in point
ing him out as one whose information on the
subject of the Pacific Mail corruption fund
ought to be of interest. We purpose now to
give them q hint concerning their present
principal witness. which they cannot afford to
ignore.
Irwin said before leaving NewYOrk that he
had personally paid no money to Congress-
men. 1t is quite possible that. in view of tie
danger of eliminating himself. he may seek to
avoid giving any information as to where tic
money finally went. We beg, therefore, to
offer the COmE:ittee q hint, which we have
some reason to think may prove OF value. Let
them ask Mr.. Irwin whether it is or is not
true, that he is, or has been, in possession OF
Est of members of the House, on which Were
checked the names of those whom Commodore
G.. X. Garrison of this city could or would
control. In order to make the inquiry spe-
ciic and interesting, let them ask whether Oh
that list was or was not the name Of member
of the Committee nOp conducting the Investigation.
The anower to this inquiry may make the
rest of the Committee think it desirable to see
tho whole list. and to exact from Mr. Irwin
it's production. 1t might be well, also, to pro-
cure from Commodore Garrison himself a
statement about the list and its meaning !;
and, further, to inquire of him whether he
has received any communication, personal or
otherwise, from one Sypher. a member of the
House, involving perhaps statements Of what
Mr.. Sypher would do in case anybody should
dare to produce the list. 1t might also be
worth while to inquire of Mr.. Irwin just what
sum of money he thinks was paid to
Mr.. Parsons of Cleveland, what it was paid
for, and what he had reason to suppose was
done with it. Mr.. Irwin has heretofore made
some frank statements on that subject.
The Committee seems to be stumbling around
on tho very edge Of discoveries that may
astound it. We hope it will not lead an un-
charitable public to infer. from its treatment
of the important witness now in its hands,
that it wants to bully him, but does not want
so to handle him as to get out of him the
valuable information he can doubtless bestow
if he will. Meantime, these facts Of the
utmost Importance are already established :
First, aside from the expenditures which may
have been concealed by tricky bookkeeping
$745,OOO of the Pacific Nails money is proved
to have gone to Washington during the sub
sidy fight. Secondly, this amount of money
is proved to have passed through the
hands of the Company's San Francisco
agent, who was ordered to Washington
to lobby the subsidy through. And thirdly,
the money of the Company during the same
fight has likewise been traced into the hands
of Mr.. Richard C. Parsons. These are solid
facts of some magnitude Behind them is an
amount of richness not even yet fully appre-
ciated.
New-York tribune., 1874-12-15
TIE STAR ZACHARIAH.

Tho Senatorial term of the Hon. Zachariah
Chandler draws to o close. Eighteen years
that able-bOdied statesman has represented the
Peninsular State in the United States Senate
Long years! And in many instances loud
And now Mr.. Chandler, having been three
times elected Senator, and having great
many times taken the British Lion by the
beard and said in the face of him as unpleas-
ant things as could be said to lion; having
treated the Lion as though he was an ordinary
menagere lion whom any dissolute person
might shake his fist at for the price of an ad-
mission ticket; having repeatedly asserted the
dignity and glory of the American Union and
clinched his remarks on that head with rim ging
demand for "B-e-r-l-ud," the "B-e-r-l-ud of
"Tyrants:" and having been generally con-
spicuOus all this time as a Friend of Freedom
of large fexibility of chin and great vocal
powers-now, we say, he reappears before the
Michigan Legislature as candidate for another
term. 1t is not clear from the newspapers
which have broken out in a discussion of his
claims and qualifications precisely what pur-
pose is to be answered in his reelection We
can think of but one, and that is to keep the
British Lion In proper state Of intimidation
and subsection. And since the settlement of the
Alabama claims that seems hardly worth
while. The Lion is quiet; why send Chandler
back to the Senate to exasperate hint In
the words Of the Great Silent Man, "Let US
"have peace"
We concede, of course, that Mr.. Chandler is,
in the beautiful and expressive language of
The Be'rien Springs Journal. Mchigan's
great star in the Congress Of the United
"States." We do not dispute the entire
accuracy Of that journals Subsequent state

cannot see tho spectacle of o vast civilization
at work without getting some valuable ideas
from it, and King Kalakaua will hardly be
able to 90 back to Honolulu without being
better fitted TO govern his simple minded
people than when he left them.
1t cannot be denied that the principal inter-
est taken in the Sandwich Island Kingdom
arises from the fact that it only exists by the
sufferance of the world, and that IL lett 10
itself it could not long survive. Scarcely yea'
passes without sOme rumOr OF anneXatioh W
one or another of the great powers. Ihe ior-
eign population is continually increasing, the
native dylng out. The robust English ana
Americans bear the weight of their vices lar
more easily than the delicate islanders 10
whom they have taught them. History AFFORDS
no parallel to the rapidity with which the
population of these islands diminished during
q portion of this century. In 1923 it numbered
14O,OOO; thirty years afterward 1890. In
single generation one-h half the inhabitants of
the archipelago had perisbed. 1t Is
said that the ratio of decrease Is
of late years somewhat lesscned, out
there is nothing to lead US to DeiieVe
that the Kanaka race can ever 80 recover
strength as to sustain tho unequal conflict
with the forces and temptations which came
in with the advent of the Europeans upon
their shores. In few generations more they
will live only in tradition, and the islands they
now inhabit will pass into other and probably
stronger hands. This cannot be greatly de-
layed by the honest integrity and purpose OF
their kings or the friendly good faith OF for
eisn governments. But so far as 1T can be
done, we are sure the almost universal desire
of the American people is that the Hawaiian
Government shall be treated with the utmost
frendluess and candor and assisted in every
proper way, as long as it exists. In the mean
while, no intervention of any European power
in those islands should be permitted on any

Houses decision when the matter is again
brought to its notice next week. The whole
truth in this case will yet be brought to
light.
The reception extended by the Union
League Club, last night. to Mr.. Forster, was
worthy of the club and worthy Of its guest
No other club in New-York, save the Century,
could draw together so distinguished COM
pany of the leaders in the various business
and intellectual activities of New-York. as
that which last night crowded the theater OF
the Club, the ante-room and its approaches.
Mr.. Choate, as usual, spoke gracefully and on
the level Of the occasion. Mr. Forster's reply
was in most respects happy, and it was re-
ceived with warm and at times with enthu-
siastic approval. No part of it was more
heartily applauded than that in which the
English statesman expressed his admiration for
thedisposition on both sides to forgive and forget
the enmities Of our late civil war. Among
the heartiest in their applause were most OF
the survivors of that Jealous band Of revenge
full loyalsts who, few years ago, sought TO
expel Horace Greeley from the Club for
signing the bail bond of Jefferson Davis, and
whom, in reply. he arraigned as narrow
minded blOckheads, attempting to base on
enduring party on the hate and wrath
engendercd by bloody civil war, as if they
would plant colony on an iceberg which had
somehow drifted into a tropical ocean.
