SAN FRANCISCO, March Zethi 1910.
Very little progressha been made in the consider
alton of the bill to put in operation the Hawaiian
Treaty, owing we suppose TO the immense amount
OF labor entailed upon the House Of Representa-
tives. in consequence Of the Investigations Of the
late Official corruptions. On March 9th, the House
resolved itself into a committee Of the whole, with
Sayler in the chair, to consider the law relative to
the treaty. Luttrell. Of California addressed the
House in support Of the bill. and was followed by
Page and Leavenworth. Some Of Pages remarks
may be Of interest to your readers and we give a
portion of them verbatim
+" 1t is not only in the interest Of the Pacific
Coast" said Mr.. Page, I" but in the interest Of the
whole country. It was the part Of wisdom,
TO OBTAIN A Controlling INTEREST At THE SANDWICH
ISLANDS,
which ultimately the treaty will accomplish, and
we should not allow that under any circumstances
to pass to any other power"
Incorporation to the treaty. " Piglron Kelly
of Pennsylvania expatiated upon the injurious re-
suits of such q law. As the Sandwich Islands pro-
dnce no iron and no coal, and Mr.. Kelly's Opaque
vision prevents him from discerning and sppre-
cia,ing the advantages 10 be- derived from this
measure, We are not at all surprised at his logged
obstinacy. After a few remarks by other members
of the House. the committee rose without any ac-
ton.
OTHER RECIPROCITY TREATIES
are on the tapis. General Ward Of New York, and
ex-conrederate General Gibson Of Louisiana are
endeavoring to secure reciprocity treaties with
Canada and Mexico. From intimations received
there does not seem to be much opposition 10 the
Canadian one OF the Mexican, but very little has
as yet been said.
The great event Of the day has been the discov-
cry OF frauds ~practieed by Gen. Belknap, the
Secretary of War. So soon "a the bubble had ez-
ploded the Hon. Secretary rendered bis resigna-
ton to the President, who accepted il, and APP
pointed Robson the Secretary Of the Navy, secre-
tary Of War dd interim. This did not seem to sSt
isfy the House Of Representatives. for the next day
articles of impeachment were drawn up, and una

Mr.. EDITOR A writer in your paper of the Sih
inst, over the signature of " Reform" is surprised
to find no Hawaiians engaged in trade, on their
own account, and argues that the main reason is,
that a license is required of them, as well as of per
sons who do a much larger business than their small
capital will allow.
From my observation, the real reason why Ha-
waiians do not succeed in this sort of business, is
of a very different nature. This reason does not
prevent individuals of other nationalities, with
small capital. from engaging in trade, and in sue
ceeding too. And as this result is SO often seen, in
the case of other nationalities, the reason why Ha-
waiians do not succeed, must be sought for in
some other direction.
And my opinion is, that the true reason is to be
found in the utter lack, in Hawaiians, of self-denial
and economy.
An instance in point occurred under my own
observation, some years ago. A thrifty Hawaiian
had accumulated a few hundred dollars, and
started in trade by investing his little capital in
merchantable goods, and opening a shop in a good
location. On the foundation of his real capital, he
had no difficulty in keeping up his stock by pur-
chasing on a credit. His sales were quite satisfac-
tory. while his stock was fresh. But here came in
the characteristic that soon proved his financial
ruin. He thought he was a merchant, and a man
of means. and must expend aud appear accord
ingly. As money came in, he launched out into
personal expenditures. He furnished bis house
with many expensive articles of furniture he lived
we'll. and INDUCED in many delicacies. His broad
cloth suit was as lustrous as the man with ten
thousand q year. His 500 horse and $50 saddle
were particularly noticeable on Saturday after
moons. In short, his personal expenses. for self
indulgence. were equal to a large axed income.
Well. this went on for a few months, until pay
day came. And then, to his utter dismay, he
found that the people who had trusted him wanted
their money as soon as it was due 1t did not sat
isfy them TO be told that he had no money that
be had spent it as fast as it came in, instead OF de-
nving himself. and saving up his receipts to meet
his obligations when due.
Well. the result of it all was, that his creditors
took what be had left, and tOted it OF to the auc-
ton room. where it was sold for but a small part
of its cost. and his creditors p~Ocketed the loss.
He had a jolly good time while it lasted. but 1t
left him as bare as a flagstaff. And until Hawa-
iiaHs learn self-denial and economy. and practice
them. they will never succeed in trade, In compe-
tition with Cinnamon. who often start with very
little cash capital. but who soon, by seltdenial,
industry and thrift, get ahead in the world, and
ought to.
4 little less paid for a license would not alter
the characteristics of Hawaiians and herein Is the
radical defect, which insures their failures.

SANITARY REGULATIoSs.-Under the head Of by
Authority - we print the revised Rules and Regula-
tons of the Board of Health. In most respects the
provisions are the same as promulgated in former
years. The exception will be found in Rule 9, res
pecting nterments and therein the practice is adopt
ed which prevails in all civilized countries, whereby
mortuary statistics are preserved. But the most
important reason for the observance of this partic-
ular rule is, that it will prevent the hasty burial of
persons who may have died under suspicious circum-
stances.

BARK ARcTIC.-We were premature in announc-
ing last month that this vessel had been permitted
by Act of Congress to retake the American flag and
register which she gave up during the late war. The
bill passed in the House of Representatives, but was
lost in the Senate, SO the bark still continues under
the Hawaiian flag. As we understand it, the failure
to restore the original flag will not in reality prove
any disadvantage to the ownership.

Nav ~SToCK-By reference TO the advertisement
of Messrs. Severance and Peet. in another part Of
to-day's paper, it will be observed that these noted
breeders OF thoroughbred Spanish Merino Sheen.
having had their attention directed to these is
lands as q promising field in the future for their
business, have initiated the same by importing a
number of their choice stock. These gentlemen
claim that their flock is unequalled in the United
States, or in the world, for constitution, good
shape. length OF staple and tine quality of wool.
They have taken premiums at State Agricultural
Fairs for the past three years. We predict that
the business of sheep farming in these islands will.
before many years are past, become vastly en-
larged. Now is the time for ranch owners TO
secure the means of improving their stock. The
Messrs. Sinclair. of Niihau, recently imported six
animals from the flock of Severance and Peet.
N~AvAL-The U. S. S. Lackapanaa, Commander
James S. Green, arrived at this port on Wednesday
evening last, after the remarkably short passage of
twenty days from Mazatlan under sail. The Lacka-
DannG is a second rate screw ship. of I.O26 tons,
with an armament of 10 guns and carries a crew of
210 men. Her last visit to these islands was in
1867 under the command of Captain (now Ad-
miraD William Reynolds. Salutes were exchanged
between the Lackatcanna and the shore battery on
Thursday morning. The following is O list of the
officers now attached to the ship

CAUSE OF THE DELAY.-The .4Ita of April LIST
says: The contract under which the City Of San
Francisco is to sail was made some time ago, in
London, between Messrs. Macgregor il Elder and
the Pacific Mail Company of the one part, and the
Governments of New South Wales and New Zealand
of the other. By the terms of this contract, Mac
gregor and Elder were to supply two ships and
the Pacific Mail Company three, and the service
was to commence at q certain specified date, or
subject the contractors to heavy penalties. The
Pacific Mail Company faithfully performed its part
of the contract, but Macgregor and Elder failed to
perform theirs, the two ships despatched by them
to the Colonies having arrived two months beyond
the stipulated time. The penalty for this failure
the Governments named seek to stop out of the
Subsidy already earned by the Pacific Mail Com
pany. Hence a difficulty has arisen, which is at
this moment the subject of telegraphic correspOn-
denee between the Mail Company, Messrs. Macgre-
gor and Elder and the New South Wales and New
sailing of the City Of San Francisco" On the re-
traction of the demand by the Colonial Govern
ments. the steamer proceeded on her voyage.

oYsrERs-We hear that quite q lot Of oysters in
the shell were brought from San Francisco BY the
las, steamer, on ice. Not having had a taste our
selves, We can't be expected to become eloquent on
the subject. The experiment Of planting these
bivalves at Eva on this island IS still in progress.

returned to port on the 10Th. in consequence Of an
accident In jibing on the morning Of the sth, the
block on the main boom struck Mr.. J. II Black. the
owner. and one Of the seamen. knocking the former
senseless from a blow on the head aud putting the
seaman's arm out Of joint at the elbow. The mas
ter returned to port for medical aid. The schooner

A Poor ISvEsTMEST-When Charles Nordhof visi-
ted the islands. our people treated him with their
wonted hospitality and kindness to strangers. which
be repaid by making q number of unnecessarily un-
pleasant and exaggerated statements about the islands
and their capabilities in a book which he published.
This book has furnished to the opponents Of our
Treaty in the House of Representatives q good many
opposite texts. in the course of debate. So it seems
that We didn't entertain an angel unawares when we
troubled ourselves for the comfort and entertainment
of Mr.. Charles NordhoE.
