a King may occasionally deepen the 10y

events, the fidelity which is SO often it's

position internecine, 1t is a return TO the
old days when statesmen staked their
heads as well as their places, and when q
Minister who was superseded was lucky
if he saved either his fortune or his life.
Risks of that kind demoralise statesmen,
and a Government in which they become
ommon is sure to assume an Oriental
type, and become infected with Oriental
fecbienesses. Nobody, under such a regime,
dares tell the truth to the powerful, or
act on his own convictions, or forget for
one moment considerations of his personal
safety. Good government becomes impos-
sible under such conditions, which impede
it far more than an occasional indiscretion
even of a serious kind.
But it may be said, that for aught the
public knows, Count Arnim may be COM
pIctely guilty, may have intended to reveal
some official secret which would have en-
dangered the safety of the Empire itself.

ny, or Justify the violation Of the plainest
rule of iustice,-that a man should not be
criminally charged for a design still con-

ever it is, must affect Prince Bismarck,
not the country and though its publica-
ton might justify dismissal in disgrace, or
even legal proceedings, it could not justi-
fy action so high-handed as that which has
been taken. Surprising even that the pa
seizure would justify eve extra-legal ao-

and could not, on any reasonable c%aIcula-
ton, have expected to seize them. He has
on that supposition been defeated in q
com, and the punishment of Count Amin
will in no degree diminish the risk which
his arrest has so enormously exaggerated.
Had the documents, whatever they are,
appeared without all this fuss, Europe
would have paid very little attention to
them,-would have decided once more
that with Prince Bismarck the end justified

For the Hawaiian Gazette.l
Suicidal Policy.

Mr. EDITOR AT a time when merchants,
planters and mechanics are complaining of hard
times, it is matter of no little surprise to learn,
from the reports of the Legislative Assembly,
that majority incline to the passage of a law to
license the manufacture Of rum on the sugar
plantations. This is a most suicidal policy, and
for the following reasons:
l. It must inevitably promote the drinking of
rum among the Hawaiians, and thereby hasten
their extinction. If the police cannot now pre-
vent the illicit sale Of spirits among Hawaiians,
most surely they will not be able to arrest the
evil, when rum is manufactured on the planta-
tions.
q 1t will ALLEVIATE the sympathy of a large
number throughout the foreign and native COM
munity from the support of the government.
3. 1t will seriously interfere with the project
of reciprocity now so much desired by the mer-
chants and planters.
4. 1t will damage the prospects of negotiating
the loan of million Of dollars, which the Legis-
lature has approved Of.
5. 1t is not desired by the proprietors of large
llduldtlOus-
6. 1t would tend to demoralize the neighbor-
hood where the manufacture of rum is established.
Z. 1t would not be pecuniarily a success. So
says the proprietor of large plantation, unless
the rum distilled is sold licitly among the natives.
s. 1t would demand an increase of the police
force throughout the kingdom.
3. 1t wosld be opposed to the growing public
sentiment in all civilized and Christian countries
10. 1t would at best, prove only penny-wIse,
and pouud-fOollsh policy.
If these reasons, are not sufficient to convince
any true friend of the Hawaiian kingdom and
Hawaiian people, that the manufacture of rum on
the plantations would be suicidal, impoitic and
opposed to the best interests of our Island CON-
munity, then other reasons may be offered at
future time. "A FRIEND OF HAwAuANs.
