The Hawaiian gazette., 1877-08-01

THE Board of Immigration has appointed
Captain Mist to proceed to the island groups
in the South Pacific for the purpose of pro-
curing Polynesian laborers for the plantations
in this country. This class of labor has been
very generally used in Queensland and the
FIJI Islands in the cultivation of cotton and
sugar, and, as cheap labor, has been regarded
as a success. By its assistance the cultiva-
tion of sugar has rapidly advanced in Queens
land until it has become a most important
industry in that colony, and indeed SO popular
has "kanaka" !" labor become there that it has
not been confined to the industries above
mentioned, but has been taken advantage of
by the "squatters and sheep-raisers all over
the country, until it has seriously interfered
with white labor, and has resulted in strong
popular feeling, under the influence of which
the Queensland Parliament has undertaken to
legislate the Polynesian laborer out of the
country. A law, recently enacted, limits the
employment of this kind of labor to " tropical
and semi-tropical agriculture" much to the
disgust of the squatters, who ask why the
sugar grower should be privileged with cheap
labor that is denied to them. 1t is also pro-
posed to prohibit the further importation of
Polynesians after the close of 1880. The
cause of this opposition and Legislation is not
any dissatisfaction with the laborer, but is to
be found in the fact that his employment
tends to prevent the advent of the more de-
sirable European immigrant. How the sugar
business will be affected by the change is
doubtful. We believe that it will be injured,
and perhaps ruined
The Queenslanders are very likely doing
the proper thing in legislating against cheap
labor, but the conditions of the question are
very different in Queensland and in this coun-
try. The former furnishes an outlet for the
overcrowded towns and parishes of the father
land, and it offers inducements to small farm
ers and to stock-raisers, which are not found
here, while the continent adjacent to US has
no surplus population which would find in
emigration means of bettering its condition.
No one denies that if Hawaii nei could be
occupied by Anglo-Saxons, it would be better
for the country in the long run, but as long
as sugar and rice are our main staples, we
must have a proportion of those races to do
our work who can subsist on minimum wages.
We wish success to the experiment about to
be made with the view of procuring Poly
nesian laborers, but we trust that nothing
will induce the Government to permit the
introduction of men unaccompanied by a rea-
sonable proportion of women, and we would
also continue to advocate the initiation of
systematic effort to obtain European immi-
grants.

Archery.

"Bow-shooting" is the subject of the first
article in the July Scribner. Tie writer is an
expert in the use of the bow; which he pre-
fers to the rife. After practice extending
through number of years, he spent three
winters in Florida, shooting over some of the
finest water and land region for sporting, to
be found in the world
He describes the bow, the string, the quiver,
and the arrows; and gives directions for
using them. The game is whatever runs, flies,
or swims.
As an exercise the results are better than
cricket, croquet, or baseball. 1t has all the
elements of desirable pastime and recreation.
The physical exercise is better than fencing,
boxing, or lifting. A lady who has made her
self "handy" with the bow, never looks so
well as in the act of shooting. In England
archery has been cultivated by ladies and
gentlemen, and esteemed fit sport for the
gentlest and most cultured classes"
He speaks of archery clubs of from seven
to fifteen members, both ladies and gentlemen"
and ventures to say that no man or woman
who cares at all for outdoor sport can resist
its fascinations, after he has once mastered its
first difficulties. The bow affords the most
perfect physical and mental recreation that
can be conceived of. 1t is to the mind and
body what music and poetry are to the soul,
it trains them to the highest degree OF
healthfulness and strength"
Why not form an archery club in Honolulu
There are those who need much more outdoor
exercise than they take,-those whose health
has suffered from lack of this exercise Rid
ing in a carriage is better than nothing but
it is little better than sitting in the veranda,
and rocking ones self in chair. Many can
not afford the exercise of riding on horseback,
and the inducements to walking and gardening
are insufficient to gain many votaries. Gym
nastics have been tried here; but there was
lack of perseverance, and the Olympic Hall
was deserted. Nine-pins is good exercise
but there is no alley to which ladies may re-
sort.
The writer mentions as material for bows,
"lemon-wood, lance-wood, yew, mulberry, OF
sassafras wood"
The Hawaiian gazette., 1877-08-01
The Cuban Revolution.

ACCORDING to the account of Colonel De
Quaretta, of Cuba, (says the Alta of July 81,
but formerly one of the leading spirits of the
Cuban patriots, the affairs of that struggling,
unrecognized Republic are far from desperate.
Notwithstanding the great number of troops
that Spain has, during the last two years,
sent across the ocean to Cuba, the island is no
more quieted than it was before they came
no more than it was while the Don Carlos tyar
made it SO difficult for Spain to send troops to
Cuba. And yet this unequal contest has been
carried on by those Cubans without any out
side assistance whatever. So completely has
Spain blockaded the Cuban coast, that it has
been next to impossible for any vessel to ap-
proach the shore and land arms or ammuni-
ton on the island Says Colonel De Quaretta,
during the last three months Cuban patriots
have not received single round of ammuni-
tion from outsiders. They have to fight for it,
and take it from the Spaniards. They make
a good deal of powder on the island, and then
fill cartridges picked up from the enemy
No wonder he says this is slow process
The Cuban army amounts to $4,000 men.
With this army thus supplied with ammuni-
ton, whose struggling patriots have been able
to maintain their cause through the last year.
He says that Cuba has enough patriots on the
island and in exile to march even into Hav-
ana itself were they we'll armed and supplied
with ammunition, and on the SOIL No wonder
ba NJ fba
ence of the American Government and people
in regard to people struggling for freedom,
almost at our doors. And no wonder he ex-
presses surprise at the Indifference of our
colored population when those Cuban patriots
are struggling for not only freedom from the
rule of Spain, but for freedom from the blacks
from the bondage of chattel slavery. Right
at our doors this struggle had been progress
sing for nine years, and it excites scarcely an
inquiry from our Government or people.
For nine years this contest has been waged
by the Cuban patriots against great nation,
shut in from the world, cut off from aid, from
arms, from any acknowledgment of belHgerent
rights. 1t is to obtain such rights that this
gentleman and his colleagues have been ap-
pointed, by appealing to the sympathy, or
exciting it among our people and with our
Government. A people that for SO many
years has been able to maintain their attitude
thus, deserves to have such rights accorded
them. 1t is not only against the interests of
the patriots, and of Spain herself, that this
cruel and unnatural war should thus con-
tinue, bat it is against the interests of the
United States, of all other commercial nations
AYE, and of humanity ITSELF The persist
ency, the grit of these people, their contest
for National and individual personal freedom,
entities them to belligerent rights. These
once granted, not many months would elapse
before Spain would appreciate the necessity of
acknowledging the Independence of Cuba.
