A RESPONSIBLE Ministry headed by a Premier,
is " very difficult to establish here, where SO few
statesmen are found qualified to secure the popu-
lar support" So says our neighbor the Gazette
in last Wednesdays issue, and leaves us to infer
that we must not for the present indulge in the
hope of any change of public men, or of a respon-
sible Ministry with full discretionary powers of
government We fear indeed that we will be
compelled to wait a long time for any favorable
change in government and public policy, if we
are to depend upon the continued selection of the
class of 80 statesmen :" from which the govern
ment, with one or two exceptions, has been re-
cruited in the past We have in fact never had
a leading Minister who represented q constituency
or a policy. Our Ministers have been chosen in
times past for other reasons than craftsmanship !;
one because he had in hand the bankrupt estate
of a succeeding Prince ; another because he was
supposed to have improved the health of a King !;
another because he represented capital and a
more recent one because he was supposed to be a
friend or adviser of a dislOyal and troublesome
faction, or possibly on account of his earnest
written application for the position.
But for all this, we believe there are to~be
found men in these islands who, without Court
favoritism, enjoy the popular support or faith in
respect to their capacity to take the charge of
public affairs men who. without any pretensions
to craftsmanship yet understand the needs of the
country men of culture and strong common
sense, and, above all, of an honest and progressive
spirit, devoted to the welfare of the Hawaiian
people-like the loyal and indefatigable Wyllie.
And if our cotemporary will join with US in sus-
tanning a healthy public sentiment for reform of
government, we may yet hope for the formation
of a responsible Ministry and the establishment
of an order of administration of public affairs,
that shall stand or fall only when it receives or is
denied popular support" Then faction will
cease, and the Kings honor be maintained.

SATURDA Y, MARCH I.

The ADDRESS to His Majesty, with the accom-
panying reply Of the Ministry, not only take up
so much Of our space but were brought in so late,
that we have no opportunity to make any ex-
tended comment. The address has very largely
engaged the public attention, not only on account
of the paramount importance of the subject, but
also on account Of the obvious ~iuaction ia respect
to that subject during the present administration
Of public affairs. And this public interest ia
most impresslvely manifested By the array Of in
fuential names appended 10 the document, which
comprise-the chief representatives of the clergy
OF all denominations FIVE out of eight of the for
eigE-born mobiles of the kingdom the leading
members Of the bar all of our leading mer-
chants the whole Of the editorial fraternity :;
along with numbers of the most respected and
influential citizens of every creed, cline and pur-
suit TO be found in this community. Therefore
such a document, SO sustained, is entitled to the
highest consideration and it has evidently re-
ceiVed it, in an ill-adyised reply from our highest
authorities, who, after a seriatim review of what
could not be done by I" persistent enquiries, -
and after an assurance that they " will continue
enquiries as unproftably as in the past, con-
clude by saying that they " would gladly receive
from you (the memorialists) "now, or as
early as may be convenient, and after you thus
learn their views further, more definite and prac-
tical suggestions, not only for repeopling the
Hawaiian Islands from abroad, but for saving
the lives of the people we have"
And hereOn we must say-and this only, for
the present-that in our opinion those who are
called upon and who are capable of furnishing
to the government plans, or more definite
and practical suggestions " for the repopulatIon
of the country, should have that opportunity to
carry them out which the present incumbeney
has enjoyed, and at the same time has SO signally
neglected.

EMIGRATION AGENr.-South Australia, like Ha-
wall, is in need of population. The Legislature
has appropriated eIOO,OO to procure emigrants,
and the Rev. John Thorne has been appointed
commissioner to proceed to England on the bust
ness, and was a passenger by the City Of San Fran
cisco. We had the pleasure of meeting the gentle
man during his short stay in the city, and were
much interested in his plans, which he anticipated
could be carried out without any difficulty. He
is a prominent member Of the Order of Good
Templars, being p. G. G. T. Of South Australia.

BEER SELLERs.-At intervals Of about two or
three months, the police Of Honolulu Z" come down I"
on the makers and sellers Of beer. and a financial
slaughter ensues. Thus on the 21st ult., seven ma
tives and one Japanese were s~rraigned on the charge
of furnishing or selling Intoxicating drinks without
license, and on the 22d, being all found guilty, they
were fined various sums amounting in the aggregate
to $437 40. This will operate as O check to the per-
nicious business, for q time at least.

ssThe Tribune on Blaine"

The New York Tribune concludes
that Blaine will 60 into the convcn-
ton all the stronger for the recent
charges that have been brought
against him. The Tribune considers
that he has cleared himself entirely
of all the sspersions that have been
cast upon him, 1t is certain that no
candidate has ever come before the
people whose character has been sub
jected to such microscopic tests as
his. II he escapes them all and sat
isles so fair-minded paper as The
New York Tribune that he is pure
and honest, he ia a remarkable man
in that respect. Who that has his
large capacities and has mingled
with the leading men of the country,
both politicians and capitalists, as
much as he, has not dealt in railway
bonds. or bought them for some
friend. or done something else in that
line which, when all the motives and
intentions were not ready at mo-
ment's warning to be offered in ex-
plsnation. looked suspiciousi This
is live country and these are live
times, when men desire to make
money fast. These Investigations
in view of this fact, are very good
in their way, if they be not carried
TOO far. But is it not better to have
too much investigation than not any
at ala Some of our Jealous Repub-
hcan papers cry out against the
House for its searchings here and
there and everywhere for odorous dis
coveries. There can no harm come
from such. Honest men can never
be injured by an investigation OF
their affairs. and anything that re-
fuses Investigation, as Paine has said,
openly admits its own error. This
is somewha, Democratic just now,
but it appears to he sound for all
that. Blind partissns and admins
tration politicians will dissent but
honest Republicans will not.
We say let every Republican who
makes application for Office be thor
oushly analysed, morally, There are
plenty of them who can stand the
test, and 10y sluiting out all the dirt

so much about the Democrats. for

ting any important officers If their
opponents 90 about their work prop
erly. Every homes, voter will place
more confidence in Blaine when he
finds that his enemies have done their
best to show him 70 he corrupt and
have failed. The Tribune concludes
a review Of Blaine and his chances
by saying that he does net come up
10 the mark exactly IS an ideal
President, because he is too strongly
partisan for these times, aud Is . man
of stern preiudices. That is just
what We have been thinking about
all along Upon these points, and
upon the fact that Bristow has been
more closely identified with practical
reform, we have turned toward the
Secretary in preference to the gen
tleman from Maine. If anything
should come up so that Blaine would
lose the nomination at Cincinnati,
and Bristow should get it, we should
be glad. But if Blaine stands the
fire of the enemy from this on for the
next couple of weeks as we'll as lie
has done and is chosen, We shall con-
slider him good enough. Any man is

qualifications to begin with aud can
