your labor, in the shape Of rice, sugar, fruits. etc,

were ever realized before. And so we repeat,
the treaty will be the poor mans friend, IL he will
exert himself and go TO work. Leave the town
and seek the country, and Hawaii may yet see
that very desirable condition of things in which
the country makes the town.

PRESIDENT ELEeT.-The very interesting ques-
ton as to who is to be the President of the
United States for the four years following March
4, 1877, was settled last Tuesday, when millions
of American citizens. deposited their ballots
mightier in effect than bullets-for Hayes or
Tilden. Sufficient returns will probably be re-
ceived at San Francisco before the sailing of
the steamer to settle the result. Opinion here is
pretty general that the Republicans will again
carry the day. On former occasions a poll has been
held here on the day of the Presidential election,
and although it never was supposed that :" as goes
Honolulu so goes the Union" yet the practice was
productive of no little fun and excitement,-but
it was omitted this year. An Eastern paper thus
speculates on Governor Hayes name aWill
Hayes, the Republican candidate, be elected ?
Let's untangle and transpose his name, and see.
Take the last three letters and we have Yes
Our German friends should read the first three

mentarian may extract the precise Yea from it"

COOPERATION UNDER DIFFICTLTIEs.-I has come
to light that there is an agreement subsisting
among the Chinese in this city who are opium
consumers, that whenever one is arrested and
fined for selling the article, the association
guarantees him see per month for the time he may
have to spend in prison. Thus when they leave
the government boarding house at Kawa, they
receive a snug little capital on which to recon-
mence business.
