SATURDAY. JUNE %

Is 4 foot-note TO a communication in the last
issue of the Ga<efe, the editor states that : Our
smuggling laws are very similar to those of
other civilized nations" 1T is a common prin-
ciple in the administration Of penal laws that,
80 far as practicable, the same measure of penal
ty or forfeiture should be enforced in a given
case. as would be inflicted upon the person or
property Of a citizen Of the nation whose laws
are violated, in the courts Of the other nation.
1t Is, we believe, not generally known here
that there is no such provision in the revenue
laws or the United States as the section of the
Hawaiian Penal Code under which the recent
decree of forfeiture of an American ship has
been rendered. In the United States, as we are
informed, the penalty for smuggling on vessels
is confined to the forfeiture of the goods and the
filming or imprisonment of the offender. In that
country it will probably be regarded as a harsh
proceeding that this government, which has Just
received so great a boon from America as the
Treaty Of Reciprocity, should seize and condemn
an American vessel, where there is no suspicion
of the completely of the owners in the illegal
acts of an imbecile master, who, though the only
party attainted, is allowed to leave the King
dom unwhipped of justice. .'It is an admit
ted principle" says Mr.. Justice Story, 90 that a
nation ought not to make its own Jurisprudence
an instrument of injustice to other nations, or it's
subjects" Says Chancellor Kent, The mutu-
al respect of nations, as Huber terms it, or cour-
tesy of international law, is founded on the credit
which one country gives to the administration OF
justice in another, and the adoption of it won
derfully increases reciprocal confidence and
credit"

IN charge of a sarvant, but that the horse was tied
inside another lot TO the picket fence far from the
door Of the theatre when the animal very restless,
tried 10 free himself by rubbing against the pickets.
Then the owner of the picket fence came forth, and
Ioosened the horse. Shortly after that some noise
was made by the horse hitched again to the fence.
The gentleman came again from the house, and un-
fastened the horse, and forbid the servant to fasten
the borse again, and returned to the house, and a
short time after while in bed heard the horse tied
AGAIN for the third time in the same place. That
zery valuable servant must have taken an awful

The LATEST NEWS, by the steamer from Aus
tralia, is not of SO important a nature as might
have been expected. So far the $ Eastern war -
has not become general. Russia and Turkey
still continue to be the sole belligerents on the
bloody field of Mars. The actual operations of
the two hostile armies, since our last published
accounts, have not been of a decisive character.
The most important news from the seat of war
in Asia, is conveyed in a telegram from London
to Sydney dated May Both, which announces
that the Russian troops bad evacuated the
trans-Caucasian province of Abassia. This
movement was the result of an uprising of the
Mussulman subjects of the Car in that province,
as well as the Circassians, aided by a Turkish
invading force. This is turning the tables on
the Russian inyasian of Turkish Armenia with a
vengeance. The province of Abassia is situated
along the shore of the Black Sea, and Sookoom-
Kaleh which was bombarded and taken by the
Turks, is one of its principal ports. Heavy fight
ing appears to have taken place about Abraham,
the Turks having made great efforts to re-take
the place, but the report of its re-capture by the
Turkish troops is contradicted by a telegram
dated June 4th from Singapore. This is the
latest Geographic news to hand from the seat of
war in Asia. Another telegram of the same
date, June 4th, ria Singapore, reports that the
Turkish fortress of Kars, which had resisted all

The CONSERVATION of woods and forests is daily
claiming increased attention in several countries
of the world, a dearly bought experience proving
that where the trees disappear drought and ster-
ility are the inevitable consequences. 1t is not to
our purpose to enter at present into any discus
sion upon the often discussed question whether
the presence of vegetation has or has not an in
fuence upon the rainfall in any locality. We
believe that the opinion now generally prevails
that the rainfall Is materially affected by the
local conditions of vegetation. Assuming this
hypothesis as already conceded, it follows that
the application of the argument to our own
case in these islands naturally suggests itself to
reflective minds. Already a great deal has been
said and written upon the destruction of the
woods and forests of the Hawaiian Islands.
Recently, the Royal Commissioners expressed q
very unequivocal opinion on this subject. The
necessity of preserving the still existing forest is
set forth in urgent terms in their Report. 1t
follows that any system which ais at a saving
of the timber of the country claims attention.
Hence it is that we learn with satisfaction of a
system which is now being introduced upon some
of our plantations of substituting coal for fuel
instead of frewood. Upon one of our most
prosperous plantations, where great quantities of
were heretofore annually consumed, We
are credibIy informed that coal is now employed.
At first sight, it may seem that the expenses of
the plantation are greatly increased thereby.

The COOPERATIVE system has been very
adyantageously introduced into this country
upon some plantations. 1t may be useful to explain
that by it is meant a system by which the cul-
~tivation of sugar-cane is undertaken on a
limited scale by parties who in some cases own
the land themselves, and in others rent it,
besides which they may or may not be assisted
more or less in the raising of the crop by sugar
mill and plantation owners. Their produce
is brought to the mill, the cane is ground, and
the saccharine juice is put through the whole pro.
cess Of its manufacture into sugar. Finally, &C
cording to agreement, the owner Of the cane re-
ceives from the m%ill-owner a half or third or fourth
of the whole quantity of sugar manufactured
from his cane. The system is excellent, as it
enables parties to embark in cane growing on
a small scale who are otherwise unable to I'M
dertake heavier speculatiOns of the sort. But,
every system has its drawbacks, and, in this
case, we are told, that it may and likely will
unfortunately happen that trouble will arise
in consequence of the difficulty of satisfying
many people engaged in cane-growing on the
cooperative system, that they have obtained
their full share of the produce of their cane,
when manufactured into sugar, from the mill
owners. This will frequently happen in the
case of native Hawaiians, particularly. They
will be prone to think that they are cheated by
the milI-owners, and differences will arise in
consequence. Under these circumstances the
suggestion is now made that the best plan
would be to weigh the cane, on its delivery,
and value it according to its weight, regard
being had to its quality also. This plan would
relieve the cane grower from all unpleasant
suspicion of being cheated, and it would also
be q great saving of time and trouble to the
m%iIl-owner, who could thus throw all the cane
coming to his mill into one heap, and go on
with the work of grinding it, conformity,
subsequently allowing their several shares,
according to the weight of their cane, to the
parties concerned, out of the whole quantity
of sugar manufactured. AS the Report of the
Royal Commissioner has entered so largely
into the enterprise of cane-culture, it is be-
lieved that a recommendation coming from them
to the cane-growers on the cooperative system
to adopt this plan of the weighing of the cane
on delivery at the mill, and fixing accordingly
the quantity of sugar to be delivered to them
as their share,-would have a very good effect,
and would be likely to lead to this modification
in the present cooperative system, in other re-
spects SO highly beneficial to the sugar interests
of the Hawaiian Kingdom. These remarks are
based upon representations made to the Editor
of this Journal, by parties concerned in the
business and it remains for the Royal Com
missiOners to decide what action, if any, they
may take in the matter, which seems of sufficient
Importance to claim their attention.
