To The Edfor of The Pacific Commercial Advertiser:
The reply of the Ministry to the memorial to the
King on the subject Of repopulation bears evidence
of having been written carefully, and exhaustively.
The subject is dealt with at great length. and after
q strictly legal method. The various points in the
memorial are taken up and disposed Of according to
precedent, and the final summing up is in strict
keeping with the body of the reply.
Witbal. it would seem that almost too much is
proved, Ss The inference to be drawn from the docu-
ment Is that all previous efforts have not only failed,
but have exhausted all the resources of various
Cabinets.
The sum and substance of the reply can be given
in 3 very few words, as follows:
.sGentlemen, your memorial has been carefully
considered, and we have the honor TO state that we
have had q great deal of experience in the matter OF
bringing people to the islands, and all our plans for
doing so, so far have failed. 1t is, therefore, our
opinion, that any new effort in that direction would
meet with the same m-success.
"StIl, gentlemen, if you have any plan-re have
none-please present the same to the Legislature
that is about to convene, and they may consider it.
Having been told thus what to do. Why not do it !?
The memorial itself would make an excellent Pre-
omble IN the following :" RESOLUTION. Therefore
he II resolved that we will assist, in every way in
ovr noxer. to bring about the said repopulatiOn; TO
this end We are willing to devote our best energies
our time, and our money. We do therefore appoint
a Committee to attend to the necessary legislation, as
a preliminary step towards sending for the people
We want"
With such a course-they having advised 1.-THE
Ministry could find no fault. On the contrary, they
would be morally bound to support the movement or
resign.

In ANOTHER part Of tO-day's paper will be
found the translation of a letter signed Edward
Lilikalani, which appeared in the native news
paper KuOkoa of Saturday last. The subject
discussed is the recent memorial to the King
Mr.. Lilikalani is a young Hawaiian who has en-
joyed good educational advantages, but whose
first appearance in public life was at the late
During the canvass his numerous printed cir
culars, containing singularly exaggerated state
ments about the probable wealth to result to the
country from the treaty of reciprocity, caused
much amusement.I His letter on The present oc-
~easion is n very natural first-fruits of the mis-
chievous endeavor by the Minister for Foreign
Affairs to bring about a feeling of jealousy and
ill-wilI on the part of natives against foreigners;
for the burden of complaint in the letter is, not
that immigration is undesirable but that Hawai-
ians have been ignored by the promoters of the
memorial. And herein he appears not to have
been aware of the fact that as soon as circum-
stances would permit, that document was circu-
lated among and extensively signed by his coun-
trymen. Aside from a little yerbiage about the
treaty being " the Kings increase of the n~ation,''
there is a glimmer Of common sense in the idea
advanced thas there is no land to give to immi-
grants were they brought at present. But on
the whole, we cannot resist the impression that
the member for Honolulu is only the medium
through which some one else has spoken. In
fact, we have satisfactory assurance that the
letter emanated from q government Office.

The expenses foot $24 900, not SO large q sum for
600 immigrants from India that one need be ~captious
about the expense; but We may, if the figures given
prove correct, have them for less. We are to deduct
the freight for one half the capacity of the ship and
also o sum for Customs, entry, duty, sc. on shore;
Just here is where am at fault I can suppose this
to mean, $9,375-for port charges and duties on
goods imported by the ship, say 500 tons, which will
go to the government Golfers; bat I am puzzled at
the nicely of the calculation. 1 should like to see
the basis of this item-I am not sure but that this
sum may be increased so that We can have the immf
grants for nothing, at least on paper. The social
and moral questions involved in this matter ae rea-
soned out so indisputably by the writer, that l will
not tire your readers with my doubts on those points;
but do let us have the figures made clear before our

LAST WEEK we spoke of the = Oil of Cashew -
as a remedy for leprosy having attracted the at
tention Of medical men in other countries, and
we quoted from that well-known authority the
Lancet, to show that it had been efieacious where
fairly tried. But the statement has been made
in our hearing that Cashew has been tried here,
and without success. We are inclined to think,
however, that there may be a mistake in this.
The names Of the medicines that have been tried
az palliatiVes in leprosy in these islands are
COndurangO, by DR.. Hillebrand, A~scIepids gigan-
tea, by DR.. Trousseau but we are informed that
the " Oil of Cashew , has never been imported
by the Board Of Health, or by either OF the
medical gentlemen we have named. The Cashew
has several synonyms, Of which Gurjou and
Acdjou are two. In India, it is stated that treat
ment of leprosy by Oil Gurjou - has been
successful in every case, even in some that were
extreme.
WE DISLIKE the task OF correcting the errors of
our contemporary, and frequently let them pass;
but sometimes we are impelled to speak out. On
Wednesday, the Gazette announced in two places
in a local item and editorially-that the Board
of immigration had concluded a bargain and
:" entered into an arrangement with Messrs.
Along & Achuck, for the introduction of two
hundred Chinese, men, women and children on
certain terms per c~apita-which were particu-
larry stated; and this, it was declared, was 50 a
result of the memorial" Now it will hardly
seem probable-but it is n fact-that no such
g bargain or 81 arrangement was concluded on.
the part of the government. In fact, the Board
of Immigration is by law simply an advisory
body, and can make no bargains of the sort.
The substance of what really has occurred is this
that the Chinese firm mentioned have made
o~vertures to government for a contract or guar
antee in relation to bringing immigrants from
China, but the response made, if any, has not
transpired.

the Preangsrs for instance, where thsy only pay the
regular land tax and other inpcsts, the prcdsc-
ton of coffee has increased in % years from $1,000
to 243 600 piculs. and the people Of that district are
better of, happier, and more valuable TO the country
than the meeker people Of the Iowlands who are still
forced to submit 10 the exaciicns which rob them of
the fair rew ard for their toll. The contrast between
Dutch rule and Eoglish rule IN the East is extreme,
and there are few Euglishmen who sill not feel more
proud Of their country when they read how others
treat the natives with whom they com into contact.
The natives have their revenge, however, when they
see thi. power of despotism welded by the white
man against his own countrymen to keep him from
is riches and vast population, only $4,000 white
men can live is the miserable result, after more than
two centuries and a half of energy and toll.
