EVERYBODY just now is complaining Of the
general dulness. There is very little activity in
trade or N there are no new enterprises
under way to be criticised government, like r
sphinx, is stolid and makes no sign of a purpose
or n policy and lastly. the weather itself is of
that n~on-committal sort that causes people to sit
still, perspire and yawn. Under such adverse
circumstances and with such surroundings, how
can a newspaper be anything else but dull.
There is, however, a suggestive thought in the
above paragraph, which we will follow up. We
can understand that business men and capitalists
may reasonably feel like waiting for the final
accomplishment Of reciprocity before venturing
largely upon any new enterprise but that gov
eminent should actually be without any declared
policy at a time when the country is on the eve
Of a general election Of representatives in the
national assembly, would scarcely be possible
under any other constitutional government but
this. 1t is a fact, however, that nobody knows
what are the views Of our Cabinet Ministers on
the important questions that are sure to come up
in the approaching session of the Legislature.
Let us ask if Ministers are doing justice by either
the people or themselves in thus trusting to luck
as to the sort Of 4 House of Representatives they
may be called upon to meet with next April?
As we have said before, whether we accomplish
reciprocity or lose it,-in either event-wisea and
careful legislation will be needed. With all the
ability that may be conceded to the present Cabi-
net Ministers, each in his particular sphere of
official duty,-which of them, let us ask, is fitted
to be the leader of n Hawaiian IeoisiatureP

Foot Race between a Coyote and a Kama
ka-the latter Wins.

When whaling shippers get together on shore,
many are the interesting and amusing 9 yarns :" that
are spun, Of which a careful listener with a talent for
I" quill-driving" might make a very readable book.
Here is a specimen retailed one day this week in q
ship-chandler's store on Queen street
This is rather a tough story, but the kanaka who
ran down a coyote is now in Honolulu, as also seye-
raj persons who witnessed the race.
ct was on the coast of California and the whaling
brig Rohala's boats Capt. Cogan) were sailing along
the beach, when they saw a dead whales carcass on
the sand, with several coyotes on and around it.
Some of the officers expressed a wish to get one of
these animals alive, when one of the native sailors
said that if they would land him he would catch one
alive. He was laughed at and called a fool-for a
coyote is a mighty spry creature. He said he had
run goats down at the islands so for the fun of the
thing he was landed close to the dead whale, stripped
naked with the exception of a marc, and having pro-
vided himself with some rope-yarns with which to
tie his game. Well, he started across tie sandy
plain with the coyote some thirty yards in advance,
amidst the shouts and laughter of his s~hipmates.
But the coyote found he had no time to spare. for
when be Stacked his pace to look around the kanaka
had gained on him. So the two disappeared in the
distance, and were not long in doing it; when last
seen the coyote doing his level best and the kanaka
eVldentiy gaming on hlH' Alter they mad gone out
of sight the officer in charge of the boat began to feel
uneasy, for it seemed to him that the kanaka must
be mad to make the attempt to run down one of these
nimble-fOOted gentry. Two men were dispatched in
the direction in which the g critters " were last seen.
In a couple of hours the kanska was observed COM
ing in the distance, and as he neared it was seen
that he carried something across his shoulder. 1t
was the coyote securely muzzled and his legs tied
with ropeyarns. The animal was taken on board
and the attempt made to tame him, but resulted in q
failure, as he jumped overheard one day and swan
on shore"

THE INTERNATIONAL ExHIBIrIoN.-All sorts of
plans and preparations are being made for the recep
ton aud entertainment of the great crowd of visitors
that is expected in the States during the coming year.
1t has been very reasonably considered that Philadel-
phia itself will not be able to accommodate every
body, and as there will be trains constantly passing
between that city and New York, many will make
their arrangements to spend their days in Philadel-
phia and their nights in New York. The st. Nicho-
las Hotel, on Broadway, from its location and its
convenience to the depots, offers unequaled advan-
!tages in this respect. From some Honoluluans who
have sojourned at that house, we hear good accounts
of its management, the excellence of its table, and
the reasonableness of its rates.
