WHAT THE ALDERMEN SAY.
Constituting tho Excise Law, and Strongly
CcnsurinR tho Police.

The Aldermen's room in the City Hall
was thronged yesterday by liquor dealers and
politicians, who nestled close to the members OF
the board. The enforcement OF the Ex else law
was the subject to be discussed. Alderman
Purroy, Of the Law Committee, read the report.
II analyzes the excise law under which the
hquur sellers wero arrested, and gives IL as tue
committees opinion that "a falr anu reasonable
construction Of said law does not demand or
render necessary the "disgTaceful and out-
rageous iractces" OF last sunday. The COM

for the memoriaiists. Seventy Of the most infu-
entail, Intelligent and respectable men Of our
community have addressed the King. declaring
that the population of the Kingdom is diminish
ing 80 steadily and rapidly that the independence
of the country and the very existence of the ma
tive race arc in grave peril. Yet the jaunty
writer calmly pooh-poohs the address, and cannot
see 4" in any of the aspects of the commercial or
political state of this Kingdom to-day anything
which calls for the very strong expression Of alarm
used in many parts of your address; not any
thing more, certainly, than has existed for the
last quarter of a century" Now all this implies
either what men call a judicial blindness, or a
desire to let the ship of state glide quietly on to be
engulphed in TO the cataract Of national extinc-
ton. In either case the incompetency of the
Ministry is evident The country has indeed
never lacked prophets, who have from time TO
time directed attention to the growing danger.
Now at last the country is aroused, but the gov
eminent still sleeps.
We come next to a single sentence of twenty
five lines, hard to understand. We deny that
a. Candor would have induced the
remodeling Of this part of the address" Candor
should have induced the Committee of reply to
allow-what is very susceptible of proOf-that
Kamehameha ". clearly understood and dis
tinctly advocated repopulation in the wide, and
not the narrow sense.
The style of the reply deserves unqualified
condemnation. 1t resembles most that of the
work of some German writer on metaphysics o
the last century. The tone is ~scornful, the ideas
confused, and the language answers thereto.
Without giving extracts, it will be found that
nearly every sentence shows this. As we approach
the end of this wearisome, feeble and turgid reply
to a patriotic address, we look in vain, after the
long succession of discouraging remarks, for some
hopeful suggestions. There are none. The eff
forts Of preceding governments have failed, and
no new ones are undertaken by the present. The
Ministers simply call on the petitioners to supply
the ideas and plans which they themselves are
set in their Offices to supply. They offer no hope,
promise no effort, and discourage all hope and
effort with a sneer. Let US sum up the whole
r"per in one w~ord-imbecility. Its moral is
after US the deluge.

To the Editor Of The Pacific Commercial Advertiser :
SIR In the quasi-qual antine of the steamer
which arrived here Oh Thursday morning last with
measles on board, we have another instance Of that
vacillating policy, so much in favor with public
funetionaries. which. in seeking to please everybody,
actually benefits nobody, and seriously incommodes
not a few.
Upon arrival, The vessel was allowed to come
alongside the dock; the captain, purser, AMI chief
engineer to come en- shore, while the dock-yard was
closed to all from shore, excepting the members Of
the Board of Health, the police, agents of the vessel,
customs officers, drsymen, and a few otherwise pri-
vileged
Cargo was discharge by men sent from H.. B. VI.
ship .Hyrmidon; and, in the afternoon. passengers
for this port were allowed to land-fumigsted some
say-but still under bond to report themselves daily
for eight succeeding days. AS nearly as 1 can lean,
these are the facts. And does any one suppose, that if
communication with the ship had been entirely un-
restricted, there would have been any greater danger
of infection than must now exist. l think there
can be but one answer, and that is If it wGs posi-
bic to land the measles, it is landed.
II the necessities Of commerce in the case were
more than commensurate with the danger to this
community from infection, it would have been better
to have imposed no restriction whatever; but if the
reverse, an undiscriminating quarantine should have
been enforced for a number OF days positively cover
ing the known period of the incubation of the dis
ease.
l can appreciate the very trying position Of those
who, in the exercise of functions properly belonging
to medical men, and whose actions are supposed to
be entirely guided by medical knowledge, are yet
subject to the clamor of trsdes-people eager in the
receipt and shipment Of goods; but still it is matter
of regret that SO much of compromise between two
things so distinct, if not opposite, has been necessary
as to have made each absurd in only hindering the
other. TowNsMAN.
