Western Polynesia.

THE people of the islands of the Western
Polynesian Group are suffering from famine,
as we learn from the Australian papers. This
is matter of astonishment to many who are
at loss to account for the scarcity of food
on those islands, where everything grows in
such abundance In addition to the vegeta-
ples indigenous to the soil, it favors with
wonderful aptitude the growth of European
fruits aid vegetables in enormous quantities.
But plague seems to have smitten the land
las an exchange paper puts it). Nature has
withheld her hitherto bounteous hand and
gaunt famine, stark and terrible has stalked
through the length and breadth of a desolate
country, and disease and death have followed
in its train.
1t is extremely difficult to trace the source
whence this most pitiable state of things takes
its rise. We have heard of no hurricane or
excessive rains by which the catastrophe de-
plored could have been brought about or even
assisted. No excess of population or series
of gluttonous feasts to which semi savage
people are prone, are known to have taken
place. The very extent of the inhictiCn for
bids the idea that any merely causual event
could have contributed to it. But it has
occurred, and men have fallen like autumn
leaves, and like them have been allowed to
strew the ground from want Of strength in
the survivors to buy them.
The above is doleful picture of the inlab
itants OF those once fertile islands and
calls loudly to those of the neighboring is
lands, to institute a careful inquiry to try
and discover the cause or causes of so great
calamity, in order if possible to put step
to the desolation depicted by our contempo-
rary.
The people of New Zealand seem to have
aroused themselves to the work of affording
relief to the starving Polynesians.

Should the sale of Opium be
Licensed

THE question of the expediency or policy of
repeating the law now on the statute books of
this Kingdom, prohibiting the sale of opium to
Chinese and natives, except for medicinal pur-
poses, has already come up before the pre-
sent Legislative Assembly, and the bill was
indefinitely postponed. We notice, however,
that another bill was introduced with the
SINE object in view Woud it be wise to re-
peal the present law, and permit opinm to be
sold nd Hbitum-or, indeed, in any given
quantities to Chinese and others on these Is
lands? Our answer is emphatically no. In
order to understand this question properly,
let us enquire what would be the effect of the
repeal Of the prohibition. We understand
that the advocates of repeal base their argu
ment upon the fact, that by the repeal large
amount of revenue would be brought into the
Golfers of the Government annually. We
grant it, for the sake of argument, that such
might appear to be the case. But have the
advocates of the repeal made any calculation
how much revenue would be lost in the evil
effects of such repeal on the plantation laborers
of these Islands? From all we can learn
from the sugar planters, they have no little
trouble and loss arising from the use of opium
among their laboring hands at present, even
with all the stringency of the present law on
the subject of opium. II seems that, somehow
or other, the Chinese laborers do get hold Of
their favorite drug, and use it to excess,
th.rahy tbar, ~, Iol
should do for the benefit of the planters. If,
therefore, the prohibition is taken off and
opium is allowed to be sold, the inevitable re-
suit will be a total decentralization of the
Chinese laboring population, and consequent
diminution in the production of the sugar
crop annually, which may eventuate in the
o breaking up of every sugar plantation on these
Islands. In that event, what then becomes
Of the revenue now derived from this great
industry? 1t would be simply lost, and all
through the injudicious and short-sighted
policy of seeking to realize revenue by des-
troying the source from which it can be
gathered. This, to our mind, would be stopping
at the "spigot" and letting out at the "bung-
hole" Viewing the question of the repeal
of the present prohibition of the sale of opium
in this Kingdom, in this light, we are clear in
our judgment that it will be wise not to dis
turb the present law, by making change. If
the desire is to strike down the sugar indus
try of the Hawaiian Islands, the most effectual
way TO do SO will be to repeal the act pro-
hibiting the sale of opium. The planters
should see to it that the law-as it stands on
the statute books-should remain intact; and
the sooner they wake up to the danger that
turks in the act now before the Legislative
Assembly, the better for their future welfare.
We hope the honorable members of the AS
semby will look at this question in its true
light, and reject any and all attempts to re-
peal-or even mcdify-the present law on the
subject of the sale of opium.
The Hawaiian gazette., 1878-07-10

Fortunately for our people, Mr.. George @.
Mclean, to whom the infamous and diabulical
proposition was made, is an honest, conscien-
tious man, and exposed the infamy of the
proposition by exhibiting the letter to the edi-
tors of the newspapers in this city, with
view to have the villainy made public. Too
much care cannot be taken by our people in
the use of this terribly explosive article which
is in daily use in every family on these Is
lands. Indeed, we had shocking example
of the danger to human life in the use of ker-
osene oil, in the death of native woman and
her infant. a few weeks ago on the other side
of Oahu, an account of which we published
at the time. We see that the government of
New Zealand has become alarmed on this sub
ject, and recently steps have been taken to
have all kerosene offered for sale in that coun-
try carefully tested and examined by compe-
tent Government Officers. This is at it should
be. We are led to make these remarks at
this time, in order to bring to the notice of the
Legislative Assembly of this Kingdom the
imperative duty devolving upon that body, to
pass law regulating the inspection and care
full examination of all kerosene oils sent here
| for sale, before they are taken from the Gus
tom House.
We understand that this matter is now be-
fore a Select Committee of the Legislative
Assembly, for their consideration We also
understand that the Committee have had a
chemical analysis made by DR.. Stangenwald
of certain brands of oils now in the hands Of
consumers, and that the result of this exan-
nation is, that some of the most in1ammable
and dangerous oils are daily sold to the peo-
pie. The Legislative Assembly should see to
it, that a law be passed creating an Inspector
ship of kerosene oils imported into this King
dom, so as to guard the people against The
consequences of using oils that are not of the
density necessary to render them safe in the
use and handling, by innocent people, who
are ignorant of their real character. We learn
from reliable information that some of the oils
now in use here are as explosive and dangerous
as gunpowder itself. This is, to say the least
dreadful, and calls for prompt action by our
lawmakers, and we hope these remarks will
not be lost on those for whom they are espe-
cially intended. In this connection we call
especial attention to an article from the Hon
| W. o. Smith. Chairman of the Select Commit
tee, with the accompanying report of DR.
Stangenwald OH the above subject, which will
be found in another column

Accidents from Kerosene Oil.

The lamentable frequency of the most dread
full accidents to human life from the use of
kerosene oils of an inhamnlable charac Ter, are
well calculated TO alarm the people of these
Islands. as they have the people of all other
countries where such oils are in daily common
use. 1t is but few weeks since, we saw
letter from firm in San Francisco, who des |
in kerosene oils, to gentleman of this city, in
which the firm alluded to solicited the trade
in kerosene oils for these Islands through the
gentleman. In this letter the San Francisco
firm were unguarded enough to say, that they
were prepared to furnish kerosene oil of any
density, or quality to the dealer, and that the
said firm would put upon each package any
label he might require. Now what did
this infamous proposition mean? 1t meant,
that the San Francisco firm regardless
of the consequences to human life and prop
erty, we're willing to furnish to our dealers in
oils, any kind of oils, if they we're wicked
enough to palm Of on the community spuri-
ous for real article, merely to make money.
Such proposition could only emanate from
the heart of a man, who is desperately wicked,
and fatally bent upon mischief.
