From the Alta of April 1O1
King KaIalkaua and Reciprocity.

Not merely on the day of his election, but
for months afterward, many of the Kanakas
were highly dissatisfied with Kalakaua, and
they did not hesitate to assert that if the for
eign war ships should sail away and leave the
King without foreign protection, his throne
would be upset at short notice. This was
probably an exaggeration; but until Kalakaua
left on his voyage for the United States, and
even afterward, many hoped that he would
yet give way, in one mode or another, to ex-
| Queen Emma. They do not feel so any more
The manner in which he was received in our
country, and the tone of the press, the conf
dent prediction of the ratification of the treaty
and the speech made by the monarch after
his return, pleased the people generally, and
conciliated those who had been his enemies !;
and we feel confident that under the influence
of the treaty Kalakaua will be the most pop
ular ruler they have had in the Islands since
the days of Kamehameha the First
The treaty would probably not have passed
this year, perhaps never, if King David had
stayed at home. His presence fixed the at
tention of all the authorities at Washington
and the favorable impression made by his APP
pearance, conversation and manners, prepared
every one to be glad of the opportunity to do
personal kindness to him and to his nation
for his sake. The adverse interests would
have been potent if he had remained at Homo
lulu. The President would probably not have
called an extra session; the treaty would have
been regarded as matter of comparative in
difference; and the committees could not have
been brought to hear its merits explained. The
visit of the King was accepted by the press
and the people as a compliment to our nation,
and only one return seemed appropriate, under
the circumstances. That was made promptly.
Fears have been expressed that some of our
industries will be injuriously affected by reel
procity with Hawaii but time alone can tell
whether they will outweigh the benefits to re-
suit in other directions We hope that expert
ence will approve the policy adopted by the
Government.
The main benefits to accrue to the Islands
from the treaty, may not be felt until time has
given confidence in the permanence of the
market thus opened for the Hawaiian sugars.
Then there will be great demand for all the
moist and fertile lands near the level of the
sea, and an influx of men with capital and skill.
DESTROYS of engaging in the sugar business,
and change from stagnation to activity in
the Kanaka population generally. Wealth will
abound, and luxurious homes will be numer- |
ous-places that will become the favorite re-
sorts for the relatives and friends of the for
tunate owners of large estates. The revenue
and shipping of the Kingdom will multiply,
and many persons will come to California from |
the coast of the Atlantic for the purpose of !
The Hawaiian gazette., 1875-05-05

One of the most striking documents of the
day is the bill presented by the proprietors of
the Windsor Hotel, New York, to the Board of
Aldermen, for expenses incurred by King Ka-
lakaua and suite during their stay of eight
days in the city. The total of the bill is
S6,ls6.9l, but it is in the separate items that
the chief interest lies. Thus we find that the
King is supposed to have occupied double
room and bath at sl2 per day; private par
Tor at SIS per day; reception parlor at $40
per day; dining parlor at $50 per day; an
octagon parlor, two days, at $50 per day: and
another private parlor, four days, at SIS per
day. Besides these little items is one ''to
Kings private table and service of meals"
500 day, and this does not include wine and
cigars, the bill for which is 81, 1892, while there
is another separate item of 1913 for cigars. A
hundred dollars day for the Kings meals
alone might be thought sufficient to cover all
the eating expenses, but there appears de-
mand of 1854 for meals to Aldermen and
guests, and another of $3.50 for army and navy
officers and Committee of the Board of Trade.
Ihese are out a lew particulars IN the bill, but
it would almost appear that during the visit of
eight days King Kalakaua kept open house for
the benefit of whom it may concern. 1t does
not seem to be believed by the Finance Com
mittee that all the claims are genuine, and
there is talk of disputing the bill. Probably
this could be done with safety, but it is to be
regretted that such scandal should attend
the Kings visit, and one is almost disposed to
echo the suggestion of a New York paper, to
the effect that the Mayor should have $780, 900
year, and be called upon to entertain all guests
of the city in a creditable manner This plan,
in a modified form, obtains in London at pres
ent, but though the Lord Mayor of that city
has an allowance of ego, 900, he is expected to,
and usually does, spend double the money in
civic entertainments during his year of Office
Sac Union.
The Hawaiian gazette., 1875-05-05

seeing Hawaii, and others who come to visit
this State will make a little incidental trip to
the tropical islands.
The Alta has, in the above article, given a
fair report of the influence which King Kala-
kaua's visit to America had on the adoption of
the Hawaiian Treaty. And it is quite correct
when it says that " the treaty would probably
not have passed this year, perhaps never, if
King Kalakaua had stayed at home" We
took the same view, when in July last we first
suggested his going to Washington, anticipat-
ing, what proved to be the result, that his
presence would create feeling of friendship
and sympathy which would render the effort
to secure a commercial alliance almost certain.
We reproduce the language used in the
GAZETTE at that time:
"Now appears to be the golden opportunity for
Hawaii to make another earnest, vigorous effort to
secure the coveted boon. No half way measures are
wanted and no men to engineer it who cannot put
their whole souls into the effort determined to secure
it. If, in addition. His Majesty can be induced to
head an embassy to Washington, it might add an
eclat, which, confident, would crown the under
taking with success. And to this proposal all the
people will say, Amen"
"THE suggestion made in our last issue that His
Majesty should visit the United States and Europe
seems to have met with general favor. Such an en-
bassy would have dignity and receive courtesy and
consideration such other could. 1t would also
enable His Majesty to and learn a multitude of
things that would be of immense value to His people,
while it would enable the authorities and people of
the United States to and know what manner of
monarch governs these islands that be is courte-
gentleman of refinement and not merely the chief
of tribe of savages, many in foreign parts imagine
Hawaiians still are. 1t would also add greatly in
placing the needs and wants of this kingdom in a
proper light abroad. By all means let it be done"
Regarding the operation of the treaty, we
are confident that each successive year that it
remains in force Will bring with it an increas-
ed advantage to the United States. As Sena-
tor Jones well said in his speech in the Senate,
i is not costly goods which Hawaiians call
'or, but generally the less expensive, and
hose, the production of which requires chiefly
!db0r and not expensive material Consequent
y, as our consumption increases, it will be a
demand on the skilled labor of Americans;
md all that we ask is the privilege of sending
you products to feed and sustain your la
,orers and manufactures In this way, the
reaty will prove mutual advantage in a COM
nercial view, while it cements the two nations,
nd tends to render Hawaii independent so
ong as it may continue in force

was the abiect slave and tool Of her husband,
who was accustomed to mold her feeble viii as
glazier molds lump of putty. Like many
weak minded though amiable women, she pos
sessed no clearly defined moral sense, and to
this defect must be attributed the facility With
which she was persuaded into accusing Beecher.
Clearly she did not at all realize what she was
doing. She thought it was to help her hus-
band, and when requested to write the retrac-
ton we find her considering, not whether the
demand was just, but whether it would " in
lure Theodore" Such woman would lie
away the reputation of her best friend with
little conjunction, if by so doing she could
please the tyrant under subsection to whom
she lived, and such a man as Tilton would not
hesitate to avail himself of this weakness to
compass the foul play his preposterous vanity
and INSCRIPTIONS ambition prompted. The
importance of veracity as a Christian and
domestic will be, perhaps, somewhat better
recognized by the time this trial is concluded,
for, unless we are very much mistaken, it will
appear eventually that all the trouble is attrib-
utable to Mrs. Tilton's want Of capacity to re-
sist an imperiOus call upon her inventive ia
culties.
At the latest advices, Mr.. Beecher's direct
examination had been concluded and he was IN
dergoing severe cross-examination at the
hands of Fullerton. So far, nothing has oc-
CURED to cast doubt on the truthfulness of
his testimony, though the opposing counsel
will spare no efforts to entangle the thread of
his narrative.

THE Steamer Kilauea returned on Monday
evening, owing to a leak in her boiler. This
was repaired on Tuesday, so as to enable her
to resume her trip at the usual hour yesterday
afternoon. But the fact that she was compelled
to return for the cause stated is sufficient
warning to the government that there be no
unnecessary delay in making provision for
new boat. She has been doing hard service for
five or six years, and when her boilers once
give out-as they will in time-she must be
laid aside for extensive repairs.

WHILE considering the subject of new
steamer, which must press itself into public
notice more and more as each month passes, it
is well to consider whether the franchise of
furnishing one or more inter-island steamers
may not with economy be awarded TO respon-
sible parties either here or abroad, who may be
willing to contract to supply all the steam
service required on favorable terms to us.
We are hoping soon to enter into more pros
porous era under the reciprocity treaty, and
the inter-island trade and travel must necessa-
rily largely increase. At the same time the
public revenues are expected to be somewhat
less than at present, and if such contract
can be secured, it will relieve US at once from
the necessity Of borrowing from 100000 to
Sl5O,OOO for this object, the annual interest on
which may not be less than $4,000. 1t is
well, we say, to consider this subject, and ask
whether it will not be wiser and more profta-
bic in the end to pay this annual interest
(Sl2, OOO) as a subsidy to any party or parties
who will contract to do the service satisfacto-
rily. A little inquiry in San Francisco, New
York and London, can settle the question as
to whether parties at either of these places are
ready to enter into contract of this kind, and
if so, on what terms.

Japanese Poetry.


In looking over our Yokohama papers, we
have been often struck with the beauty and
richness of some of the translations of Japan
csc poetry contained in them. This is char
acteristic of the poetry of Oriental nations, but
in the translation of many of the compositions
they are said to lose much of the pathos and
imagery which form such striking feature of
the original Asregards these japanese trans
lations it would be difficult to find in any Ian
guage more touching expressions or finer i'm
agery than what are conveyed in them. We
select from several pieces in the Japan Mai,
one entitled:
THE LAMENT OF THE PRINCESS OF MLKA-
WI, ON THE DEATH OF HER HUSBAND.

A REPORT is current that an effort was be-
ing made in San Francisco to get up a grand
pleasure trip to these islands. The plan is
to charter the fine steamer Arizona, $500 tons
burthen, to leave that port May Is, visit Hilo,
Maui, and Honolulu, and probably be absent
from San Francisco thirty or forty days. The
success of the project depended on securing
one hundred and fifty passengers at $3.50 each.
If that number of excursionists can be obtain
ed, the project may readily be carried out, and
in way to make it very pleasurable trip.
By going to Hilo first, such of the party as
chose might visit the crater, and week could
be proftably spent there. Then to do up
Haleakala, the largest crater in the world, and
see the sights on Maui, might take another
week; while here in Honolulu mine host Her
bert, of the Hawaiian Hotel, could, no doubt,
entertain the whole company for month, if
necessary, and show visitors the sights and
scenes around the metropolis. There is no
doubt all who come will be well repaid for
the effort and expenses incurred. BY all
means let this fine programme be carried out.
We shall look confidently for the Arizona.

AFFAIRS in France seem to be improving
very much, and settling down on more per-
manent basis. The new cabinet, which is
compromise of the leading parties, appears to
secure the popular sympathy. The London
Spectator gives the following sketch of the
new members, which can hardly be condensed
or bettered: Its head is NJ. Buffet, Minister of
the Interior, who may be defined by English
readers as a rigid Tory, will compel all parties
to abstain from intrigues, but will let bygones
be bygones. 1t contains General de Cissey,
War Minister, in whom the President and NJ.
Timers have both reposed trust; the Due De-
cazes, the Foreign Secretary, acceptable to all
Europe; NJ Dufaure, the most rigid legalist in
France; NJ. WALTON, Minister of Education, the
godfather " of the new Republic: and NJ.
Leon Say, Minister of Finance, an economist of
the best repute; AID it comprises no one whom
Republicans would consider to betray them.
Its programme has been announced, and though
there was nothing in it startling, yet it was be-
leYed to indicate the maintenance of firm
government on the new basis of Senate and
Assembly, with MacMahon as President of the
Republic. It is not yet certain when the cleo
ton of Senators and Assemblymen will take
