To the Editor of II

To the Editor Of the Pacific Commercial Advertiser /:
SIR: In times of great public calamity it is
appropriate that a Christian people should confess
their shortcomings. and implore their Heavenly
Father to have mercy upon them, and not destroy
them utterly. In view of the great distress under
which the country is now laboring for the want
of water, and which threatens to become vet more
severe, / would suggest that a day of public fast
ing and blu initiation be appointed by Royal Pro-
clamation, and the people be invited to assemble
edge their manifold sins and transgressions.
and the justice Of the chastisement now
laid upon them, and pray that God may lift His
hand. and in mercy give ear to their supplica-
tons. l believe He will answer our prayers.
for doth He not send His rain upon the lust and
the unjust? And can a sparrow fall to the ground
without His notice? Yours, respectfully.
A. MARINER.

To the Editor of the Pacific Commercial Advertiser:
SIR Since my communication to the ADVERT
SER of last week, my theories, regarding forest and
rains, have been several times attacked as false,
because l have planted many thousands Of trees
years ago upon another island. where at present a
serious and prolonged drought prevails. As this
touches on private domain instead Of public inter
est. l wish to condne myself alone to the following
replies:
/. That / never planted a single tree except
when ordered or where the bOle was ready dug.
2. That L only once expressed my desire 10 plant a
a forest, when ! judged a forest necessary for the
purpose Of rain. and asked for 80 men TO plant out
a half million Mulberry slips. but was told. that if
rain would not be forthcoming without my using
80 men to plant slips, every man on the place
would be discharged. To my certain knowledge
| never afterwards applied for 30 men to plant
slips. 3. i wish to state positively that the pre-
vailing drought is to my reasoning a full and most
complete proof of my theory. and that / am fully
convinced. that planting forests for purposes Of
rain, requires a serious consideration Of the tohere.
uhen, hon and chGt TO plant, and that. in short,
not every one is capable Of planting forests. Per-
nit me to express the hope that a time may come
when - currents of air " will restore or make use
less neediul connections. That the present year
is making a condensed stride OF ten ordinary years
towards uncovering the mountains OF Hawaii mel.
may be very true. but then also, it must be borne
in mind, and be taken into consideration, what
immense benefits wild cattle, goats, sheep. etc.
receive from the existing forests, and through
these the country itself.
In conclusion, let me beg your pardon for hav-
ing during the last 8 or 10 years so often intrnded
upon the columns Of the COMMERCIAL ADVERTISER
the subject Of forests. rain. etc, a subject which
really appears to be of very little or no interest
at all TO the community. Being now enabled to
read the pages Of the bright or clear present, 1t
is of course needless to study the a b C Of the
sombre future. People seldom withdraw their

WHAIISG IsTEREsTs.-Tbe last year has been
free from especial disasters, and there have been
no changes 10 the business worthy OF note, except
the continued additions made 10 the feet. Ship
building has revived. and twelve whalers were
built during the year. IL being now apparent that
at the present prices new vessels can be bnilt
cheaper than merchantmen can be altered into
whaleships.
The present whaling feet is 1877 vessels. against
l72 January /, 1877, l69 in 1876 and 1853 In 1875;
but although the increase Is mostly in the sperm
whale feet. the catch in the past year In not greater
than for 1876, on account Of the grounds being
over-crowded with vessels.
The North Paci6c whaling aeet was very sue
cessful the last season. The catch was small until
September, when whales were found plenty. and
large fares were taken. Three vessels were lost.
and sixteen vessels came out with an average OF
LOGS barrels Of oil and $3.50 pounds OF whaiebone.
Attic whaling is now safer because OF caution
borrowed from the experience Of the past, and NS
trust it will be long before we record any unusaAl
losses in that ocean. We estimate the imposs of

Mr.. EDITOR In your last issue are some re-
marks respecting my conduct of the outer tele-
graph station. a position which l have occupied
for some years past. The writer is mistaken.
Whenever 1 see a vessel say 20 or 80 miles of
it is useless to telegraph at once, for the Pilots
nor the tug would want to go off. 1 therefore wait
until the vessel is near at hand. Sometimes a
vessel is three or four days in sight between
Oahu and Molokai, becalmed at other times
a strong breeze brings them very quickly in sight
from town. l doubt If any other person would
be willing to remain, as l have done. at that desert
spot and it fault is found with me occasionally.
let me not be accused OF laZiness or inattention.
but charge it to some other cause. II anyone
will visit my station and remain with me a while.
l think 1 can explain the situation satisfactorily.

SUGAR Imports IN THE UNITED STATES. The
Chicago Journals Washington correspondent says:
Secretary Sherman, in a letter to Representative
Wood, OF the Ways and Means Committee, urges i'm
mediate action on the sugar tax question. and sug-
gests preliminary legislation which will authorize
him to determine the grade Of all sugars as a test of
saccharine strength for each standard. He urges
this on account of the incoming new crop, and to
relieve the Department from present embarrassment,
growing out of the seizure Of all sugars imported
and entered according to the Dutch standard Of
color.

Inc DeDatlng Society.
The members of the Young Mems
Debating Society again met on Fri
day evening, renewed in body and
mind, and determined to make it
even better organization than it
has ever been before. The Society
WAS formed in the fall of 1876, and
continued almost uninterruptedly
until last summer, when the members
concluded to take O recess, feeling
that by q short vacation they could
re~enter into the spirit of the thing
with renewed zeal and earnestness !;
and the meeting Oh Friday evening
has fully proved that they were
right in their conjectures. An OBJ
server might see by their actions,
and the interest that was taken in
the proceedings, that every member
was fully determined to do his
whole share of the work, and in
such a manner as would mako him
believe that the life of the society
depended on him alone. Under
such circumstances there will be no
such word as fail. Tho society oc.
cupies one of the most pleasant
rooms in Masonic Hall, neatly fur
nished, nicely carpeted, and having
a small library consisting mostly of
standard historical works, which
they intend taking steps to enlarge
at an early day. Before adjourning,
the regular quarterly election was
held, resulting as follows: Presi-.
dent, r. M Huey Vice-President,
H. B. McMaster; Secretary and
Treas, T. w. Lauderdalo. The socie-
ty wish it distinctly understood that
