A LITTLE MORE than thirteen months have
elapsed since the Cabinet Of LUNALILo took Office,
and now, under a new Sovereign, we have to an
nounce the advent OF new men to the executive
Offices OF the country. In bidding farewell to the
old incun,bents, we have no desire to needlessly
~criticise their official career. The record Of the
wear past will show that we have dealt with them
fairly and justly as public men, naught extenua-
ting nor setting Town aught in malice. Their
experience in Office, though short, has been varied,
and doubtless perplexing and wearisome at times.
n anybody is pleased to see them retire, it may
be safely said on the past Of the Ministers that
they are not sorry to be relieved.
The announcement on Wednesday of the for
nation of the Cabinet of His Majesty KALAKAUA,
four days after his accession to the Throne, took
most people by surprise, and together with the
attendant changes in the composition of the Bench
of the Supreme Court, formed the one absorbing
topic of conversation in all circles. In our posi-
tioa Us public journalists we have listened at
tentively to the voice of public opinion, and can
safely say that the new ministerial appointments
are very generally satisfactory. No doubt eandi-
dates for the positions could have been named in
abundance, but it would have been extremely
difficult to have selected four men in this limited
community better calculated to command the re-
spect and confidence Of different parties whose
special interests are supposed to be regarded, than
those upon whom His Majesty's choice has fallen.
And the cosmopolitan character of the commu-
nifty is apparently recognized in the fact that the
four leading nationalities ars represented in the
persons of the Ministers-HaEaiian English, Ger
mar and Auarfoau
Governor Paul NAHAOLELrA, who Is named as
Minister OF Finance, is one Of the few left Of the
class of educated petty chiefs who entered Gov
ernment service in the early days Of Kamehameha
III. During a long life-he is DOW over seventy
he has been q trusted and honored public SER
want, having for many years past filed the post OF
Governor Of Maui and its dependencies. He is a
family connection of the Queen Dowager Emma,
and his appointments to a Cabinet position is
just and proper concession to the native Hawai-
ians.

ADELER's CANAL Boar PLAN-We see in
the papers that New York man proposes to
keep canal navigation open all winter by heat
ing the water by means of iron pipe through
which a current of hot air is passed. A Nor
ristown journal suggests that this will be a
good thing, if for nothing else, because it will
prevent the ice becoming so cold as to become
uncomfortable to sit on. But we may say,
seriously, that we doubt the feasibility of the
pipe plan. Our method would be to make the
canal boats red hot, and to keep them running
up and down by means of incaudescent mules.
And if this should not be ef6cacious, the water
might be. made hot with mustard, smeared
along the bottom of the canal. A mustard
and canal would be interesting merely as
curiosity and in cases of sudden stomach
ache among the bold navgators of the boats il
would be very convenient. All sufferer
would have to do would be to dive overheard
and lay himself upon the mustard at the bot
tom and stay there until he got well. A frisnC
at our elbow suggests that the towpath nigh
be taken up and replaced with warm castiroI
towpath, which would keep the water frou
freezing, while the old towpath could be Gu
into lengths the pieces laid side by side an
sold to somebody as a farm. But this is treat
ing the subject with too much levity. If W
can consider the matter with proper solemn
ity we decline to allude to it at ALL

before him and knocked tor admittance, but
no one answered his summons The gate re-

aloud for an entrance, but the only response
were scores of heads appearing above the wall
on each side of the gate. At sight of him the
owners of the heads set up dismal howl, and
one of them cried, "Why didn't you notice the

unex pected interrogation the poor local turned
in the direction of the voice to learn its owner,
when another voice shrieked. "Wheres the

demand, "Why did you write piece about

The NEW York Commune York is
becoming convinced that the Communists of
that city are determined to initiate, to the
extent of their power, the acts of their brsth-
rem in Paris" The attempt on Tuesday to
burn the church of st. Bridget is given in sup
port of this conviction, although some Of the
police and others insist that that was not the
work Of the Communists. Superintendent
Matsell however, declares that there can be
no doubt that the Commune is thoroughly or
ganized in New York. Threats against
churches and sohool houses, and especially
against Roman Catholic institutions of all
kinds, have been numerous since the riot at
Tompkins Square. Of late special watch has
been kept on churches and schoolhouses, and
will be maintained. It is believed the police
are taking measures against the Commune,
but for obvious reasons nothing definite can be
learned Of their intentions. These are strange
words to write of great American city, but
startling as they are, we may rest assured the
Commune will never be able to gain headway
in this country. Ii may cause a little trouble
but it will burn itself out, damaging seriousl,
only its adherents.

Wholesale Prices for Farmers.

HoustOn's statement, ia answer to the above
contains an extract from the report of a COM
mittee of the Centralia Central Association of
Illinos, appointed to inquire into and report on
the purchasing agency of that association.
The committee say:
1.-The territory comprised in the investiga
ton covers distance of fifteen miles north,
east, west, and south of Csntralia, thirty miles
square, including twelve business points The
sales from all these have been almost entirely
regulated by the contract of the Centralis
agency. The sale value of implements sold
within this area during the present season, a,
shown by the investigations of the committee,
amounts to $93, $50, and this, we believe, i
less, by $4,000, than the actual amount sold
as it has been difficult to get full and fna
figures. The average per cent. received By
agents in former seasons for the sale of indus
trial implements fully equaled thirty per cent
The agents profit on $93, $50, at thirty pc
cent, in previous year amounted to $28, 059
The agents profits on the amount of sales 70
the season Of 1873, at the contract prices Of tn

amounts to $4,676 so. Thus the farmers, with
in tie thirty miles square, have saved throug
this purchasing agency $23, 382 so, being tn
