nj Salina, Sabbath last, was an event long to
be remembered by those present. The dedi-
catory sermon, by Bishop Andrews, was one
of the finest efforts ever made in this western
country. After the sermon, an appeal was
made TO the congregation and 81 .065 was SUBJ
scribed, which left the society entirely free OF
debt. The church is large substantial one,
and a credit to our neishborIng city.
While at Salina Sunday last we met a man
who seemed little more than a gibbering idiot.
Four or five years ago, when We first met him
he was looked upon as one of the leading pro-
fessional men, .but some people shook their
heads and,said he was drinking too much. Now
he is perfect wreck. Why will men love and
cherish an enemy that steals their brains. their
honor, their reputation, their property, the
happiness of their families, and in fact every
thing that makes life pleasant and desirable.
''Ye old Folks Concerts" given in the Pres
byterian church last Thursday and Friday
evenings were very we'll attended and much
enjoyed. They were, indeed, a surprise TO all,
for the rainy weather and muddy condition OF
the streets had greatly interfered with the re-
hearsals, and the singers felt that they could
hardly do themselves justice. under the cir
cumstances. But all fears entertained by the
audience were dispelled on the first evening
Father wellington lei the concerts with
dignity, welding the baton with the air OF a
genuine singing school master. The selections
one, two, three and four part tunes-were rem
dered in fine style. A duetf sung By Mrs. Hill
Ter and Miss Blodgett, on the first evening,
was the gem Of the concert A trio sung BY
Mrs. and Mr.. Clsrkson and Mr.. Day on the
second evening, was fun Of beautiful passages.
The ladies' costumes for such concert were
far ahead OF those worn By the gentlemen.
We have not learned the net pTeeeeds Of the
two entertainments.

The Salina Cornet Band is preparing tC
give a concert and variety entertainment. The
band Is now under the leadership of Prof
Egan, who is one of the best band instructors
in Kansas. 1t will he one of the best en- Tel
tainments ever given in Salina.
Between September LIST and December 18th,
of this year, the Kansas Pacific Land Depart

present time negotiations are pending for the
diposal of about l05,000 acres more-and this
land will be sold by spring; most of il TO col.

many commentators from the members of

We hear of numerous complaints about the
condition of our county Jail. Ii is stated that
the room is actually filthy-fit only for hogs.
Vermin abound, and no efforts is made to get
rid of them. Ii the sheriff of Saline county
can't keep his Jail clean, he had better employ
jailer who can. 1t is the duty of the Judge
and county attorney to make an inspection of
the premises. We hope they viii see that
that horrible place is cleaned up.

cannot again repeat the mischief. So, as regards
the murderer. many people think that he ought
to be utilized, not destroyed. This is a natural
view of the case, distinct from the supernatural
view which we put forward in our last issue.
We proceed to comment upon capital PUNISH
ment from this practical point OF view. a crim-
inal is under sentence of death IN Oahu JAIL
His crime has cut him off from all sympathy
from his fellow beings, except perhaps the min
lister of the g23pel, and good christians generally
with whom, however, We have nothing to say
lust at present. We merely ask: what ought
TO be done with this ~wretch-hang him, or
utilize him? By not hanging him, we get over
the question as to whether human society Is JUS
tilted at all under any circumstances in executing
n human being for any crime whatever. Let us
suppose, then, that instead OF hanging THIS
criminal, it is decided to let him live and TO
utilize him, as is done with other criminals, by
making him work all the days OF his life. is
there any room to doubt that the lifelong toll
and labor of this criminal as a hopeless convict
is a heavier punishment for him than a sudden
death by strangulation? Such a life is a real
punishment, whereas hanging involves and
solves, we suppose, the great mystery tor all
men whether a future state exists, which the
firm conviction of Sc murderers dying on the
scaffold as confident of future happiness as the
greatest saint, is calculated to upset. The bur-
den of life is felt by all, even in the happiest
conditions, and many people even seek to get rid
of life by suicide. To punish the murderer,
then, the best plan is to make him feel the bur-
den of life, as a condemned felon, till the end of
his days, be they long or short, without one ray
of hope of what we call human happiness ever
again enlivening his doom. While he lives, he can
be utilized. Here, half a dollar per diem is paid
to government for the labor of the Jail convicts.
Allowing 300 working days in the year, we have
$3.50 a year to the account of government for a
convict's annual labor; and allowing that the
murderer in question in Oahu goal, now about
25 years of age should live to the age of 60 years,
in 35 years his labor as q convict would fetch
the sum of $3.50 to the treasury, besides its
value to the country likewise, and amply repay
the cost of his support. Thirty-fve years
of hard work represents a vast amount of im-
provement to any society. This is the way to
utilize a murderer, and also to punish him with
a lifelong bondage and toll. But, by hanging
the wretch, society is guilty of the very crime,
in our opinion, for which he is put to death, that
is, murder-legal, judicial murder-and what does
it gain thereby? No greater security for human
life, nor any higher respect for its legal and judi
cial institutions, whose justice is called into
question by what appears to be an undue
assumption of a prerogative which belongs to
God alone!

SwINDLING THE GovERNMENT.-Mr. Jackson
Schultz is a blunt, plain-spoken man. In his remarks
yesterday before the Custom House conference, on
the subject of frauds on the Government, he said
that hardly any man ever went to Europe and re-
turned without smuggling. He placed the average
lumber of packages at ten or twelve apiece. We
are, he said, males and females alike, a nation Of
smugglers. He had known ladies of good family,
some of them wives of ministers, to hide watches In
old shoes and laces among soiled linen. On his last
trip among his ship companions were four members
of Congress who did not pay their duties. A credi-
bic United States detective once informed him that
he traced a camel's hair shawl that had been snug
gled over the border to the wife of q Judge of an
Eastern State and recovered it. Mr.. Schultz's re-
medy would be to allow every passenger one trunk
or package, to be examined on arrival, all the others
to 60 to the public stores. The suggestion OF MIR:
Schultz is a good one. It would have the effect OF
stopping, to a certain extent the enormous frauds
practiced upon the government by the most re-
spectacle members of society. 1t would not only
have the effect of making people more honest, but
it would discourage American snobbery from going
abroad to patronize French milliners and English
tailors. The Government is swindled every year
in the most outrageous manner by people who pake
the greatest pretensions to honesty and repectabii-
ty. 1t is high time to arrest this monstrous
evil-M Y. Com. .fdu.

KoNA, HAWAII, July 18th, 1877.

MR. EDITOR In your issue of June 23d, you
speak of the unusual high price of the Hawaiian
staff of life" pol" The same remark may be
applied to this, and other sections of this Island.
1t appears from all accounts, that the want of the
Hawaiian staff of life, has been more severely felt
this year, than for many years past, especially in
the districts of Kobala, Kan and Kona nei the
price being a hundred, or a hundred and fifty per
cent higher, than was ever known before, and,
consequently,-as in Honolulu, the people, both
foreigners and natives, are driven to the necessity
OF subsisting on the chinese staff of life" rice"
For instance, we meet with natives from Kekaha,
and ask them what they find to subsist on in
that section ? they invariably a~nswer-rice. Again,
we meet with other parties who live some 25 miles
In an opposite direction, when the same question
is asked, and they answer-rice. But MANY of
the natives are too poor to be able to afford them
selves snch a luxury as rice, consequently, they
are obliged to subsist on fruits, such as mangoes,
bananas, pine apples, mountain apples or ohias
&c, this being the season when such fruits ripen.
Other natives subsist on ki root, hapu, pala, and
green or unripe pumpkins
For the past month, we have been blessed by
many refreshing showers, and the face of mother
earth is wearing a beautiful mantle of green,
vegetation and produce generally, is in a very
eourishing and thriving condition, and there is
every prospect that in q few months more, the
native staff OF life will be plentiful, $50 mote
it be-" G.. ". n.

Hawaiian Sugar-G Growing.

Adviees from Honolulu state that the desire
TO engage in the cultivation of sugar cane
has become a perfect fnrore, and that clerks,
professional men, and in fact individuals of
almost every class are turning their attention
to an industry which has made the fortunes of
those engaged in it. As an instance of the ex-
citement ruling, 1t may be mentioned that a half
interest in one plantation has been sold for $500
900, and the purchaser is congratulated upon
the prospect of becoming a millionaire. while
other planters are represented to be actually
coming money out of their crops. The main
cause of this sudden access of property is the
reciprocity treaty with the United States, and
for its negotiation the Hawaiian Minister of
Foreign Affairs is extolled beyond measure, and
an eternal debt of gratitude is said to be due to
him from the Hawaiian kingdom for his states
manship as eVinced in that beneicent measure.
But still the Hawaiians are not happy. The
sources of wealth revealed to them are incapable
of being developed to their full extent without
an additional supply of labor. and more labor,
or at least more agricultural labor, is the chief
thought In their minds. The Government has
resolved upon sending a Diplomatic Envoy to
families of East Indians, and the Board of Emil
grafton is about to send to China for a supply
of coolies, while it is further in contemplation
to encourage the emigration of white working
men and their families by grants of land and
other inducements. We heartily wish our neigh
bors in the Pacific islands all success in the
extension Of their sugar-planting interest, and
only hope they will not lose sight, in the ex-
element of new-found wealth, of the prudence
which has hitherto characterized their exertious
