Matters on Kanai.

We are just now suffering from drought, the nat
ural (not to say a~larming) consequence to the gen.
eral interests Of the island OF the 6rewood cutting
combinations, or in other words the destructive
and fearful raids Of wood choppers, and general
devastation carried on. on the government timber
lands. Thousands of stately forest trees have been
cut Town and shipped for hrewood, and thousands
more ~wantonly wasted and left TO decay. And
not the least effort is made TO stay this destruction.
In the neighborhood of where the writer lives,
there are government leases where a brisk business
of wood-cntting by four different shippers has been
going on. And they have just subleased to a fifth
party, who has got through cleaning out the tim
Der lands on the south side Of the island, and ex-
ultingly boast, that now they are here they will
soon use up this sectionl There is one fact very
evident, that the principal stream in the kingdom
has, for the last three years, been gradually de-
creasing in volume of water. Where are our COM
missioners of forests? &c. &c, &c. ARE we not
worth saving from our friends? Whose outlook is
it to guard and protect the natural agents with
which these islands have been supplied to assist in
developing their resourcesf 1t is high time that
this fossilized condition of executive ability in
Office was shook OF and set aside, and attention
given to affairs that may soon affect the general
welfare and industry OF the whole country.
For the past ten years or more, we have been
favored with the maintenance of a government
English school, under the diligent superintendent
of the local American mission. 1t has recently
been closed, as the teacher was notified there were
no more funds forthcoming. The loss of the school
is much regretted. The parents pledged them
selves to make up a part, or halt the usual salary,
in order to keep the school open, and they justly
complain of the lack of equity in school matters,
by paying fancy salaries in certain sections of
Hawaii and closing out here. And besides the
buildings soon go to decay. HANALEI.

Mexico.

By the way Of San Francisco we have advices
from GuadalAjara, Mexico, to the 9th of January.
The laws relating to religious reform, enacted
by the Supreme Government, are being strictly
enforced. All forms of religion are equal now be-
fore the law. All churches are vested in the gov
eminent and must be registered according to law,
and are placed under the police supervision. All
monastic orders OF men and women are disbanded.
In consequence the Sisterhood are leaving the
country in all directions. The feeling of the peo-
pie is not against the Sisters. but against the
Jesuits who WELD an influence over them.
The cause Of public education gains great ground
IN all parts Of the Republic.
Notwithstanding prosecutions. the Protestant re-
ligion is spreading rapidly. In Guadalajara, on
Christmas Day, the Protestant clergyman baptized
90 and admitted Sc to church membership. The
house was so crowded that the doors were barred
to prevent the entrance Of more people.
Nine OF the men concerned in the assassination
of the missionary Stevens last year. are confined
under sentence Of death.
The road from Guadalajsrs to Topic is now free
from bandits, thanks to the vigilance Of the gov
eminent and its officers.
Mexico seems to be entering upon an era of
order and prosperity.

By A REFERENCE to the statistics Of the Customs
a. Published for the past two years, It will be
found that the receipts OF the government from
that source for the year 1873 showed a decrease,

OF SI4,796 I9-or a falling Of in the revenue
from this one source Of S34 SIT So in two years.
This large diminution Of the 81 sinews Of war;
II il shall eontinue-and we cannot anticipate,
under existing circumstances, any change for the
bester-it will be admitted is serious fact for
the consideration Of our statesmen. With
decreased income must Of course ensue decreased
expenditure; and the first direction in which
rstrsncbment viii appear must be, not in the
reduction Of the ordinary expenses Of government.
such ~ salaries Of officials, which are provided
for by law,-but in the stoppage Of public
improvements. And in this, the most ~effectual
manner. the question Of bow to provide the neces-
sary revenue to properly and efficiently carry on
the government, will be brought before the nation
at large. and must be taken seriously into con-
sideration in the election for Representatives FOX
the session Of next year.
Should the proposed Reciprocity Treaty be
accomplished. the abolition Of duties on imports
from the United States viii cause a further loss
to the revenue Of say $780, 900 per annum, which
must In some way be made mp. The obvious
course that would suggest itself to most minds,
would be the imposition of a small export duty
on sugar bur it appears that our Commissioners
at Washington have also thought of this, and put
q veto on IL beforehand. A Washington eele-
gram, speaking of the treaty, says; "The HA-
waiian Commissioners have also suggested the
insertion of q clause prohibiting the leyying of
export duties on any article named m the treaty.
This has been done in view Of the action Of the
Government Of Brazil. which, when the United
States removed the import duty on coffee, levied
an export duty Of Eve cents q pound, which has
since been added to the profits Of foreign pro-
daesrs and paid by the 1t was GER
tainly very considerate in our Commissioner to
be thus looking after the interests Of the coOsum-
es Of our sugars In the United States but their
generosity in that direction will not help Us to
solve the problem Of how to make up this deEcitin
the revenue OF the Hawaiian Government.
In the event Of our obtaining the treaty-and
indeed, IN any event, as things 20 with us at
present-a revision Of the laws with a view to
providing revenue must be the work Of the next
legislature. There are a number Of articles in
our tariff that may, with ~proPriety and justice,
be plaeed ut q higher rate Of duty than they bear
ut present. Articles Of luxury will come FIRST and
foremost IN the List for an increase OF duty. And
IL has been suggested that our license charges,
with perhaps some few exceptions, may reasona-
biz be enhanced. Bot without trenching on the
