E--"a
A LITTLE more than two months hence viii
occur the general election for Representatives in
the next Legislature. As usual, there will be II
good deal of competition among native candidates,
for the position of Representative is much sought
after more, it must be acknowledged, for she
sake of the loayes and fishes than from an intelli-
gent idea of doing the state some service. We
hear mentioned already the names of some twenty
aspirants for the representation of Honolulu
which sends four members-and candidates are
said to be proportionally numerous in other dis
tricts. AT the last election, two years since, there
was apparently a general understanding among
the natives to elect none but natives, and conse-
quently there was but one foreign-bOrn men,
Der among the Representatives at the session of
1874. But the more conservative and thoughtful
among the people-probably as a result of expe-
rienee-are now heard expressing very strong
doubts as to the soundness of the policy then
pursued, and are soliciting foreigners to come
forward as candidates. Very naturally however,
after the thorough throwing over of foreigners by
the natives in 1874, the former are not solicitous
of again risking defeat. In fact a general apathy,
and a disposition to allow the natives to run the
business of legislation "a to the top Of their bent
without interference, prevails among the foreign
population throughout the islands.
1t will be apparent however, on a brief exami-
nation of the situation, that this state of things
is not only unsatisfactory but unfortunate, and
may lead to quite undesirable if not disastrous
results to the country at large-to the interests
of both natives and foreigners. Aside from the
possible mischief from ordinary rash legislation
as a consequence of a careless selection Of Rep
resentatives, it should be remembered that the
coming session is likely to be one of more than
usual Importance. With the expected accom-
plishment of Reciprocity will come the necessity
for a revision of our revenue system; and it can
not be a matter of indifference to any taxpayer
as to how the inevitable deficit is to be provided
for. We are all interested on this point, how
ever careless and a~pathetic we may be on other
matters connected with legislation and the making
of laws. And therefore, without appealing to
higher motives, we contend that it is very de-
sirable that foreign-born subjects, and residents
generally as well, should take more interest in
the coming election than they are now inclined
to, and that they should use all legitimate efforts
and the influence at their command in order to
secure abe return of the right class of men as
tatiyes. The loreign-bOrn population
and I'll. inc,sts of property held by foreigners
in tn country, are in simple justice entitled to
a fan representation in the Legislative Assembly.

AT NOON to-day, Mr.. Barlow will sell at public
auction at the Government House, by order Of
the Board Of Education, the ahupuaa Of Wal
kapu, East Maui. This tract. containing from
sixteen to twenty thousand acres, comprises land
adapted to the cultivation Of cane and a large
portion admirably suited for cattle and sheep.
liz is true that in the dry season this land is COM
paratiyely barren, but the making Of wells is
practicable, whereby with the aid of the trade
winds the subterranean streams of water can be
brought to the surface, and the whole of the tract
may be made a garden.
The thought suggests itself that no private
party would be likely to offer such a parcel of
land for sale at this time, when We are upon the
eve Of completing q commercial treaty of the
first Importance to the country unless, indeed,
the party were in immediate need of money!
and even then the idea Of hypothecating would
first suggest itself. We are aware that the Board
of Education is made up of gentlemen who are
second to none in intelligence and judgment
and must therefore conclude that the Board is in
much need of funds, or, that it's members do not
count much on the treaty and propose to take
advantage of the hopefulness Of others in dis
posing Of a tract of land ut a round figure.

Dress In Church.

APparen1y the ladies who listen to the sermons
Of the Rev. Mr.. Talmage, q popular preacher OF
New York, have not learnt that black is q most
fashionable colour for church wear. for he declares
that: "a There seems to be in the churches a great
strife wazing. 1t is an Ansterlitz OF ribbons.
The carnage Of coIour is seen all over our reli-
sious assemblages. Along on the outskirts of the
Sabbath audiences, you see here and there a picket
of fashion. but down in the middle OF the church
are the solid columns blazing away all through the
service. Five hundred broken and contrite
hearts covered up in rainboWs and spangles-
Follovers Of the meek and lowly Nazarsne,i all
a-iingle and a-hash." Furthermore he says 81 We
want a great ecclesiastical reformation in this mat
ter OF sabbath ae~coutrements. Shoe these religious
peacocks out Of the house Of God. By your ex-
ample, make subdued land modest costume more
popular than gaudy apparel. Do not put so much
dry goods on your back that You cannot climb in
to glory. You cannot sail into the harbour OF
heaven with such s rigging rs that They would
level their guns at you as being a blockade runner.
Coming up to the celestial door the gatekeeper
would cry, Halt! you cannot GO in with such regi-
mentals.' And as you answered Il got those jew
ella from Tiffany, and that dress from Arnold and
Constable. and Hose shoes from Burts, the gate
keeper would say 10 zone Of the attednants, Take
this soul down 70 one OF the out-houses, and tear
OF those puRs and rufles and knife ,~plaitings and
Hamburg embnolaeries, and put on her more APP
~propriaie Sunday attire for. going in as she now

some YEARS ago, our Chief Justice, while at
Washington as Minister Plenipotentiary, rendered
an important service to the people Of this King
dom-especiaIly that portion having business and
social relations with the United States-in nego-
tiating a Postal Treaty. 1t was not all that could
have been desired, but was doubtless all that
could be got at the tune, and was a great i'm
provement upon the previous status (Which had
been in much of a muddle) and the law in rela-
ton to mail matter became fixed, the rates much
reduced and the system generally understood.
These facts, which We are now prone to forget,
were at the time very much appreciated.
1t occurs to us that there is now an excellent
opportunity for Judge Allen,-who is still in
vested with the functions Of Minister Plenipoten-
tiary to the United States,-to render Hawaii
another and greater service of the same kind, by
negotiating a second Postal Treaty, or SO amend
ing the first as to include all mailable matter by
prepayment in full in stamps of the country
where mailed; and a reduction on newspapers,
and all mailable matter (other than l~etters) in
accordance with the prevailing systems of Eng
land and the United States. And We beg further
to suggest, as practicable and advisable, the es-
adjustment between ourselves and our nearest
neiRDDOf anO most intimate ulen0-tne OnlteQ
States-of the Postal Money Order System. This
has proved of great practical value in America,
and would be of even greater Importance tc US,
in proportion to our numbers, and in view of
our isolated location. so distant from the centres
of civilization.
By every mail that leaves Honolulu for she
East there are many who desire to send small
sums of money to agents; correspondents or
friends in various parts of the States, but which
it is now very difficult to do except by mailing
the gold (if you can purchase it) in a registered
letter at letter postage, or by purchasing at a
high premium n bank draft and the collection
of this, unless the party receiving it happens to
reside near a principal city, is often attended
with much trouble. ,
We take the opportunity, before the departure
of the Chief Justice, to call the attention of the
Cabinet to this important subject, believing that
the light tax upon that gentleman's attention
which will be required to ensure the final ac-
complishment of Reciprocity will leave him am
pie time to secure us an improved Postal Treaty,
and-to make diligent search for the Hawaiian
end of the Pacific sub-marin telegraph cable.
