The Central Factory system

WE reprint to-day the first of couple o
interesting letters written by Mr.. Angus Mac
kay, the Queensland Commissioner, and pub
lished in the Queenslander, giving some of the
results of his investigations in the United
States and West Indies in the subject of sugar
He found the sugar business generally de-
pressed, the exceptions being in Louisiana and
Martinique, localities where the celebrated
central factory system is most in vogue
and in his view, from which we see no reason
to dissent, these exceptions are due to the al
most complete separation of cane growing
from sugar manufacture involved in that sys-
TEN. We have always maintained the pro-
priety of keeping these two industries wholly
distinct and separate, and we are pleased to
meet with the support found in Mr.. Ma ckay's
letters. 1t may be true that in Hawaii the
condition of population is not SO favorable fol
the successful working of the system as in the
French West Indies, but let the system be
once fairly inaugurated, and let it be publish
ed all the world round that we can offer more
favorable terms to small farmers in cane than
any other country, and it will be strange in
deed if there does not follow an influx of immi-
grants of the most desirable kind.
And is it not true that we can offer better
terms than any other sugar growing country
1t will be noticed that in Martinique the cane
is purchased from the cultivators at the rate
of "the current market value of from to 5
lbs. of sugar, for each 100 lbs. of cane deliver
ed at the MILL" which is there equivalent to
from $3.50 to $3.50 per ton of cane, while
here it would amount to from $500 to $500
per ton. Again, in regard to the comparative
average yield of this country and others, we
believe that no country in the world can show
larger returns per acre than Hawaii, and as
regards the density of juice, ours is fully up
to the average.
The plan of buying cane by weight from the
farmers has, we believe, never been tried here,
but we think its introduction might be attend
ed with beneficial results. We know from ex-
perience that under our system of grinding
cane on shares, the producer, when of a sus
picious nature, often feels that he has been
wronged, and this is not to be wondered at,
for in the complex process of manufacture he
loses sight of his property, and is compelled
to fall back on faith. We're he able to witness
the weighing of every load of cane, and to re-
ceive pay for every pound announced by the
scales, there would be little room for the
practice of fraud, Or opportunity to suspect it.
We think that to both native and Chinese cul-
tivators this plan would be especially salts
tory.
The prosperity of this Kingdom will be as
sured when we see the large part of our sugar
cultivated, not by careless, Indifferent and un-
interested day laborers, but by men who,
owning the cane they cultivate. can feel that
every exercise of energy, industry and intelli-
gence, will accrue to their own advantage,
and when stock is held in sugar manufacturing
companies by all classes of the community.

ward position, whilst it takes on that beauty
of face and form, which would become the
new intelligence, and, indeed, be one of its
necessary results. On this head, however,
the Bible gives Us no distinct information.
We can merely say it seems to imply an imme-
diate formation, even of the material nature,
as though man were altogether new thing,
wholly severed from all physical connection
with any previous states of being: still the
language is not inconsistent with the other
supposition. In fact, the mention of earth as
the material from which the body was made
would appear to intimate some use of pre-
vious nature, together with the laws, the
growth, the afiuities, the established out
goings of such previous nature"
Now, here is development or evolution, not
from an infde, not from a scientist, but from
devout student Of the Bible. Years before
Darwin and Huxley were heard of, he de-
clared the "Miltonic Theory" as neither
rational nor credible, nor easily reconcied
with biblical language. If then we believe
that the same glorious Being who created the
universe has given us revelation of himself
in the Bible, why should we be disturbed be
cause new discoveries of His infinite power are
made known? Should the theory of evolu-
ton be demonstrated, we may rest assured
that it will be in harmony with the teachings
of the Bible.
The Copernican system of the universe does
not contradict the Bible, though many, two or
three hundred years age, supposed that it did;
so will Huxley's theory, should it be demon
strated, be found to harmonise with the Bible
The best biblical scholars are not agreed in
interpreting the first and second chapters of
Genesis. Some still hold to the idea that the
six days of creation are to be understood
literally,-six days of twenty-four hours each
The majority now take the ground, that the
days are periods of prolonged, indefinite dura-
ton.
In the Especial introduction to the first
chapter of Genesis in Lange's Commentary,
published in 1868, DR.. Lewis says, "The full
formation of man in the sixth day does not
oppose the idea that the powers and evolu-
tions of matter that were finally sublimated
into the impershable germ Of the human body,
and the types from lower forms that finally
went into the human physical constitu-
ton were being prepared during all the days.
This was his being formed out of the earth,
that is, out of Nature in its evolving series.
Here, too, it may be said, (though with the
diiidence that becomes every exegetical at
tempt to penetrate these creative mysteries),
we have some light upon that dark and puz-
zing language, When was made in secret
and curiously wrought in the lowest parts of
earth, Ps. 1879: l5. DIR. Lewis regards this
language as referring to the earth out of which
the Lord God formed man; and he asserts that
&c it is not strange that the authority of this
most sublime Psalm should have had in view
either primarily or suggestively this remote
generation" Lange's Commentary, p. IS.

:. A Dnrwinist before Darwin. "

THE above is the heading of an article in the
Independent of Dec 7. Why is it that the
word Evolution is SO unpleasant to many
Christian men? And why do they fear can
did discussion of the subject? Luther and
Melancthon were afraid of the Copernican
theory; and the Romish church prosecuted
Galileo and forced him to recant Luther and
Meancthon and others considered the system
defended by Copernicus and Calico as con-
flcting with the statements of the Bible.
Hence their opposition. Many good and in
telligent people of the present age regard the
theory of Darwin and Huxley as contradicting
the Bible, and they condemn the theory as in
fidel and athestic. Huxley thinks that he
has demonstrated the theory; but reasoning
minds are not yet satisfied with the evidence
he produces. The missing links are too hume
rous at present to allow of complete demon
stratiUn.
There are many people who search the
Scriptures with the simple object of finding
discrepancies and contradictions; aud the
same unworthy motive leads many to seize
with eagerness any theory that seems hostile
to the word of God And it is this tendency
of human nature that alarms many of the wise
and good.
But who was the Darwinist before Darwin
No less parsonage than Professor Taylor
Lewis, a staunch champion Of the Inspired
Word, and who had much to do in getting out
Lange's Commentaries on Genesis and job.
In 1855, years before Darwin and Huxley
preached the theory of evolution, DR.. Lewis
taught that the Bible represented, not direct
creation, but grotOth, "a nature, genesis. He
says, "The original divine power may be sup
posed to have originated the new order of life
in its most generic and universal germ, and
all subordinate genera and species may have
been developed from it, and from each other
by the action of Nature, under their new
power, and in obedience to the new law. or
the new modification of previous law thus and
then impaired to it. In this way species
would grow out of species, as individuals out
of individuals"
Of the origin of man he says, 1--WE are not
much concerned about the mode of production
of his material, or mere physical organization.
In regard to this there is nothing in the ex-
pressions, " he made," or sc He created them"
which is at war with the idea of growth, or
development, during either a longer or a
shorter period. Ages might have been en-
ployed in bringing that material nature
through all the lOEer stages up to the neces-
sary degree of perfection for the higher use
that was afterwards to be made Of it. We do |
not say that the Bible teaches this we do
not think that any one would be warranted in
putting any such Interpretation upon it. There
is, however, in itself, and aside from any
question of Interpretation, nothing monstrous
DR. incredible in the idea that what had for
nerly been the residence of an irrational and
yroveling tenant, might now be selected as the
lbode Of higher life; might be fitted NJ in
manner corresponding to is new dignity

The American Extradition Treaty

A DISPATCH was received at Washington,
on the 9TH Of December, from London, an
nouncing that the British government, after
consultation with Mr.. Pierrepont, the Ameri-
can Minister, has consented to waive all its
claims on the extradtion question and to re-
new the former treaty 1t was also stated
that the Earl of Derby, in conversation with
Mr.. Pierrepont, had accepted Mr.. Fish's dis
patch arguing that the ground taken by the
British Government was untenable. The Lord
Chancellor of England concurred in the Earl
of Derby's view that the position assumed by
Great Britain in the former negotiations was
premature, and that the Government had no
choice but to recede Internationally from that
position The London Daily Ne,os gives the
following as the Interpretation accepted by
England: ''That a prisoner surrendered FOR
one offence may, after fair trial for that Of
fence, be at once re-arrested in the country to
which he has been delivered up, and put on
his trial for any other crime for which lie
would be liable to extradition under the treaty.
Upon the British Government coming to the
conclusion described above, officers in Lon
don arrested Brent, All American, charged with
forgery, and an attempt was made to arrest
Winslow, but he had fed. Mr.. Pierrepont has
been instructed to convey to the United States
Government request for the opening of ne
gotiations for new treaty enlarging the scope
of extraditioD.
Notwithstanding the case seemed SO plain,
and the action of the British authorities unac-
countable on any data that we had at the time,
we did not doubt that, under the binding in
fuence of national prejudice, the officers of the
English government were acting on their sin
cere convictions but viewed in the light of
their frank confession that they had taken
wrong position, the case is very suggestive of
instruction in regard, not only to international,
but to domestic questions. The course of the
British government is as honorable as it has
been frank and manly.

WEDNEsDAY JANUARY "a, 1877

IT will be seen by reference to the official
column that a new commission has been ap-
pointed under the act " to aid the development
of the resources of the Kingdom" which now
consists of their Excellencies Ministers Carter
and Kapena and Captain Jas. Makee. These
gentlemen will leave for Hawaii in the steamer
of February 18th, landing at Kohala, thence
will visit various points of interest, and pro-
coed overland to Hilo, thence to Kau, RETURN
ing by way of Kona. The trip will probably
occupy from four to six weeks. notice in
the official column invites all parties having
plans to lay before the Commission to do 50 as
early as possible. A programme of the in
tended tour around Hawaii will be published
before the steamer leaves on the 18th, so that
persons on that island, wishing TO confer with
them, may know when and where to effect
meeting.

IT is understood that Chief Justice Allen
will accept the appointment of Hawaiian Min
lister Resident at Washington, and will leave
as soon as he may be able to close up his
official labors here-probably in February Or
March next. The necessity of having repre-
sentative at Washington is becoming more APP
parent every month, as questions arising from
the Treaty are constantly being raised, which,
unless settled at once, may lead to contro-
versy There are also parties in the Eastern
United States known to be opposed to the
treaty, who may seek to terminate it by legis-
lative action in Congress. These conringen-
cies can be more effectually met by having
the right man on the spot. The expense
attending such mission ought not to be
thought of in view of the great benefits con-
ferred by the treaty. The last legislature
voted a salary of 81, 900 year for this pur-
pose; but the least sum necessary to main
tain an officer in the position, considering the
expenses of living in that city, is $4,000, and
we trust the legislature will increase the pay
20 this figure, at least.
