The managers of the Union Pacific Railroad
have lately obtained control of the Pacific
Mail Company, by large purchases of its stock
For year or mere past there has been fierce
opposition between these rival lines, and the
rates of passage and freight have in conse-
in managers (about March A. the rates have
been put up, and are announced to be as fol-
lows, by railroad, for every hundred pounds ::
First class merchandise is raised from SO rs
to IS per 100 lbs; second class, from 50 to
81 third class, from 81 90 to SO; fourth class,
from 81 so to 80 so; class A, from 81 20 to
81 25; class B, from 81 60 to 81; class c,
from 81 so to 81 rs; class D, from 81 40 to
81 so.
By the Panama steamers, the rates for every
100 pounds of freight have been advanced to:
For first class to 81 so; second class to
50 so; third class to 50 so /; fourth class to
81 %; class A to 81; class B to 81 rs; class
c to 81 so; class D to 81 20. These steamer
rates are nearly double what the old WERE
In addition to these freight changes, there
will hereafter be but one steamer month de-
spatched to China, instead of two as formerly.
The Alas New York correspondent says of
the changes: The advance on the second
class of freight, which includes dry goods, is
100 per cent, and affects a very large trade.
Still the Railroad men claim it will be we'll
received among heavy shippers, for the reason
that they somewhat cripple merchants of small
capital Rufus Hatch, who is still managing
director of the Pacific Mail, says plainly that
Since the Government has robbed the Com
pany of four and a-half million, we feel iusti-
fed in getting our money back. Let the peo-
pie pay for it, There will soon be an advance
in passenger rates, but to what extent is not
known"
The Bulletin remarks: at will be seen that
the tariff has been advanced from rs to go per
cent all round. Importers will hereafter have
to pay an average of so per cent. more to get
their goods here than before The advance
will stiffen the value of stocks usually i'm
ported by the short routes, and consumers will
have to foot the bills"
These changes apply to all goods destined
,or these islands, and consequently make the
inland American cost very heavy, varying,
rom $50 to 500 ton on ordinary merchan-

the only literary pleasure they have, in writing
for and reading their own papers ? If the Id
rsr1isrr people think so, this may possibly be
the reason why they have been so unsuccess-
full in all their native newspaper ventures. We
have acted on the contrary rule, and always al
lowed them some latitude in their literary eff
forts. Thus far our endeavors have, in the
main, been well sustained, and we hope will
continue to be. At all events, we know that
the Kuokod, as at present conducted, is popu-
lar with the natives, and the best paper they
have ever had, else they would not sustain it
as they do.

any present step toward the disestablishmento of
the Church of England; but at the same time
he is not opposed to the principle as something
that may become the best of policy in the
future Harrington has been acting closely
with Gladstone and the Liberal party for the
last eight years, and has been in Office most of
the time. In 1865 he held the position of Post
master General. when Gladstone first came to
the head of the Government, and served as a
distinguished member or a Cabinet that con-
tanned such men as Earl Gray and Ripon,
Lowe, Cardwell, Clarendon, Goschen and John
Bright He is not, however, on account of his
election to the leadership, to be accepted as the
equal in ability with men like Forster, Bright,
Lowe, and Goschen. He was elected, probably,
to conciliate and fatter the nobility.

Our experience has led us 10 believe that mperson.
atty In journalism is the beet policy on all accounts
/ ~ C. sduUTtissr
This is decidedly cool-the p. c A, "be-
lieves that impcrsonaliy in journalism is the
best policy" and in the same paper drags out
in three several instances the name Of the
editor Of the GAZETTE, who was formerly
editor of the AdroriSer>-as the author of Ger
tain extracts quoted. Impersonaliiy is a very
pretty theory, at least for the 2, G A corps
TO preach, but a very hard one to practice, Il
is also a very nice rule 10 adopt, for instance,
when paper wishes TO open "a iiro in the
rear" and call attention to arguments which
in the hands Of opponents may tell against
measures Of vital interest 10 the prosperity il
not the very life Of the nation. Now the pub
lie care very little whether II, L. sheldon. ].
II. Black, J. o. Carter, or any other person,
hunted up for publication the forgotten address
and false assertions Of that bitter opponent Of
Hawaiian reciprocity, ]. c, King; the effect
of public attention being at this time called to
them will be the same-a fire in the rear, which
in the event Of the treaty having passed the
Senate, many operate to checkmate it in the
House. Is there no power in the land to stop
these insidious attacks on the only measure
calculated TO impart life to Hawaii mel, and to
be blessing to both the nations entering into
the compact?

Our Ffrenen.

An exciting and very interesting friendly
contest between fire engine companies No. l
and took place on Saturday afternoon last,
in front Of our Office Both companies turned
out in full force, and the members seemed in
best of spirits, and prepared to have well
contested trial. The two engines are very
similar in size and appearance, and showed
that they are kept in perfect order. Five diff
ferent tests were made, viz, throwing hori-
zontal streams; two horizontal streams from
each engine; perpendicular streams; trying
to overflow each other, technically called
washing each other;'' and attaching to by
drants. Each separate trial caused great
amusement and excitement among the crowd,
as the spectators favored this or that company
But throughout the contest, it was observed
that Nc. As stream was much the larger,
which led to a measurement of the MOBILES of
the pipes, when it was found that No had
been using q inch and No. 4 an inch nozzle.
This at once placed the contestants on an IN
equal footing, as the inch nozzle requires about
one-fourth larger volume of water to supply
it. Taking this into account, the contest was
very even, and though No threw the farthest,
No. sent much the largest stream. His
Majesty, who is still a member of No. 4, was
present as a spectator, during the trial, and
enjoyed it as much as did any of the firemen
or spectators. The following is the report of
the judges:

The undersigned appointed as judges aud referee

T. at the drill Saturday, March 81, beg to report /:
On the first trial of a horizontal stream, No l.
threw water few feet in advance Of No but No As
was the best and fairest stream.
Two horizontal streams at once-No l was Is feet |
In throwing perpendicular stream, No l. threw
slightly above the height reached by No 4.
In the trial as washing each other we judge that /
II was about an even thing
In taking wafer from hydIant, No l. was decid-
eddy the quickest having got on a stream in 40
seconds.
No 4, in each instance, threw the best stream, as
10 the volume of water.
In fairness it should be stated that the nozzle of
No rs butt was an Sth of an inch smaller than that
IF No 4.
In conclusion, we beg to say, We are of opinion

The same writer has evidently been search
ing his dusty volumes of the p. c. Adrertiser,
and finds that away back in the review of the
island trade of 1865, statement was made
that there were 100000 acres of cane land in
the group, then and now believed to be cor
rect, which, if under full cultivation. - might
produce 200 millions of pounds of sugar.
This statement was distinctly given as merely
SulPpositioR of what might be produced If he
'ciole 100000 acres were under cultivation.
Now any simpleton knows that the whole of
mans farm can never be put under cultivation
at once. of the cane land in this group not
over one-half can ever be planted at one time.
And of this not over twenty-five thousand
acres can be cropped in one season, as cane
generally takes two years to mature, which, at
the highest estimate, could not be made to Weld
over two tons to the acre or fifty millions
pounds. To do this. would require thousands
Of laborers and millions Of capital not now
here. Whatever may have been the views of
writers ten or twenty years ago, the experience
Of the past decade clearly shows that this
group cannot produce much more than it now
does, twenty-five millions pounds Of sugar,
without large influx Of labor and capital:
and that under no other circumstances can the
present yield be doubled during the next seven
or even ten years.
