1t viii be seen by notice in our 'By Au-
thority'' column, that Her Royal Highness
Princess Likelike has been appointed Cover
ness Of the Island Of Hawaii, vice Governor
:. Kipi deceased.
The above appointment is in accord with
the wishes ana traditions Of the native race,
because il shows desire on the part of His
Majesty the King, 10 create line Of Chiefs and
Chisfesses, and thus preserve the succession
Of rulers and chief persons for the native Ha-
waiiau to look TO for advice, counsel and sy IN
pathy.
We have completed our arrangement with a
corps Of correspondents, namely from New
York, Washington. San Francisco and San
Jose, California, who will contribute TO the
columns of the GAZETTE in future regularly.
This feature Of our paper will possess con
siderable interest 10 our readers. We will
also have an occasional letter from friend

The Labor Question.

Our readers will find two very interesting
articles in this weeks GAZETTE from the pen
Of Hon Walter Murray Gibson, of Lahaina;
and Hon. Godfrey Rhodes, of this city, which
viii well repay perusal, and TO which we in
vite attention. We have already written and
published our opinions on the labor question,
with view TO elicit discussion Of the sub
ject, and We are right glad that two such able
gentlemen as Messrs Gibson, and Rhodes,
have taken up the question, because it is evil
dent that they understand what they are wri-
ting about; and therefore, it is hoped that
good may come Of the discussion II will not
do for the people Of these Islands to fold their
arms and trust TO luck for supply of laborers,
for as sure as grass grows, and water seeks
lis level; the future destiny of this Kingdom
is inevitably sealed, unless labor can be
brought here and employed at profit. The
labor question therefore involves all that is
vital in the future welfare of the Hawaiian
Islands, and must be met fairly and squarely.
