HIS FLuENCY IS ExTRAoRpINAnY

And he never hesitates for word or a thought and
his choice of words is always good. His sentences
we'll built and very strong, and humor follows
reinedy on the heels OF argument and illustration.
Frequently he tickles the fancy by gems Of thought
and pleases the mind by the cleaDness OF his mental
work. lie is certainly the most expert, the best de-
batter in the Legislature, and no one doubts Tor a
moment his ability to hold his in any conflict
with the ablest debaters Of Congress. As legls-
lator, Mr.. johnson is 4 success. His Industry Is
appalling, and ne is never idle for single moment
He keeps the run of the file and seems to under
stand each measure. I verify believe that he Is
prepared to speak. intellgently, upon each one OF
the $40 bills that have been introduced In tine Sen
ate. And, luckily for the public interests, he
has happy knack of saving time by urging
action when he sees that the Senate is ready
to take a vote SO much for the present,
and now word about the future OF this wonder
full man, as he Is commonly spoken OF. do not
know what NAV be the nature Of Mr.. Johnsons am
btion but know that man OF his peculiar makeup
cannot be kept down. He is a man OF AFFAIRS ana
he is needed. His capacity for work will push MN
into position alm0s. in spite of himself. Besldes
California needs effective man like Johnson IN
Congress. There existence is practically Ignored,
and we need ike johnson to care for our ma
terial AMI political interests The necessities o. tho
State will give Johnson seat in Congress, whether
he wishes it not. And, in this connection, 1t
confidence of the people. He has enemies, and bit
ter ones but he to like il and thrive on en-
nifty. Such man mus needs have bitter enemies,
but they will give way to his superior proves.
Then, again, it mus. be remembered that Grove
johnson is only half-grown Five or SIX years
ago heard him make two three speeches, anu
then he was not half the man he is now.

ing out about them as they would have 1t they
had periodically to elect the men to whose hands
the management of city affairs is confded. Like
the Market, every part of the town which is oc-
cupied solely by the poorer classes shows signs of
utter neglect. If any streets are in a decent con-
dition, it certainly is not those in which the
population is most dense. Maunakea Street,
which by the way, is a much frequented approach
to the Market, is in a state which would be a
scandal to any town. In some places too where
the population is dense, there is but a pretense at
lighting the street. 1t is not at all extraordinary
that this is the state of things. Nothing else
could have well been expected from the system or
lack of system that has obtained. And as matters
cannot be remedied at present, because the
system cannot be changed without :he aid of the
Legislature, it may appear to some people a mere
waste of breath to cry out about it. We are not
of that opinion. If every one should. keep quiet
about the matter there will never be any i'm
provement. A thorough organic change in the
OF the affairs of the city such as is
now needed is not likely to be secured unless de-
manded by public opinion. Public opinion is
not formed in a day. Meanwhile the city has a
legal guardian and there can be no harm in urg-
ing him to cast about to see how much he has
the means to accomplish. Or as we do not see
how he can have time to do anything of the sort
himself, let us ask him to set some of the officials
of his Department to do it and report to him.

To the Editor of the Pacific Commercial Advertiser
SR,-YOur paper of last Saturday tells us that
the last new Minister of the Interior is going to pre-
serve the town from the offensive odors proceeding
from the tidal fats in its front.
Are the evil smells on the sea-shore worse now
than they have been since the arrival of the first
foreigner, or Honolulu became a town?
Would not the appropriation for sanitary purposes
be more proftably spent on measures really neces-
sary than on speculation for future profit?
It was known months ago that six hundred lepers,
more or less, we're at large among the people, and a
letter from Waiohinu, Kau, in last weeks Saturday
Press. signed "Kuaaina." gives an appalling
account of the spread of leprosy at that place,
Such a state of affairs as exists there, if the ac-
count be true, and who can doubt it? is a disgrace
to civilization a foul blot on humanity.
"The schools, - says" Kuaaina, , - are becoming
nurseries for the propagation and spread of l~eprosy,''
and a the people are being more aud more exposed to
the Chinese horror.
This takes place under q government composed
not of ignorant heather, but of the elite of Hawaii;
the government of a party. which, with the excep-
ton of a few short weeks, has been in power for
years, and has been supported by the press. and
some of the wealthiest, and therefore most infuen-
tial people in the country.
Is it the teaching of the Christianity we profess,
is it right. is it just. TO increase our own material
prosperity by every possible means, and to abandon
the instruments we employ. in their utter helpless
ness, to disease, rottenness, and death ? E.
Well may Kuaaina ask 9" will there be any (funds)
to save the poor Hawaiian laborer from a lingering
death of a most loathsome disease?"
If every dollar appropriated by the late Assembly
for sanitary purposes were expended in treating and
separating the unfortunate sufferers from the un-
stricken it would be well spent.
Honolulu could we'll afford to wait being made
more pleasant for her residents till this is done. L

THE CONDITION OF THE CITY.


At the sale last week of the right of choice of
stalls in the Market, only Sls5 and some odd
cents were realized. This is about half what
these rights fetched last year. To what are we
to attribute this falling of in the value of Mar
ket stalls ? The total sum obtained by way Of
bonus last year was not a large percentage on
the annual rental which is S1O4 per stall. This
proves that the rental charged is exceedingly
close to the actual value OF the accommodation and
privilege combined, which it secures to the ten
ant. When we couple this fact with that now
before us. viz That the stalls are less tempting
ut that rental than they were a year ago, whilst
everywhere else in the city rents and land-yalues
have decidedly increased, what conclusion are
We to draw? The natural inference is that the
business transacted in the Market during the
past year has not proved altogether satisfactory
to those who have occupied the stalls. We may
also conclude that others who might have been
disposed to compete for stands in the Market
find means Of carrying on their business which
are quite as satisfactory to themselves. If we
look about for a cause for this state of things,
where can we find it except in the condition of
the Market and of its approaches. The city has
lncreaseu III pOpulatlOus duu II Ouoiucco u Uc
done in the Market ought to have increased in
something like the same proportion. As it has
not done so, we must accept the conclusion that
the accommodation there is insufficient. Any one
who visits the place on Saturdays may readily
satisfy himself that this is a fact, whether he &C.
cept our inference that the falling of in revenue
is caused by it or not. Saturday being the day
when the lessees of the stalls expect to do the
chief business of the week, the fact that on that
day the crowd is so great in the narrow ways Of
the Market as actually to hinder business, must
have been felt by one and all of them.
We put the business aspect of the case first.
but appearances are not to be left out of consider
alton in a case of this sort. Nothing can be we'll
conceived Of more mean and shabby, considered as
a public building for a town of the size OF Homo
lulu, than the Market. This is one of the many
evidences which the city presents of the want of an
organization of Government for itself. Left to the
care Of the Minister of the Interior for the time
being-improvements have been made spas
medically. These however, have almost wholly
been of the class which presented themselves as
necessary to those well-to-do people who form the
society in which successive Ministers of the In
terror spend their lives. The wants of the poor
er classes of the population have been ignored
because they have had no opportunity of speak

The Need of Laborers.

TO The Editor of The Pacific Commercial Advertiser.
SIR,-1n full appreciation of the notice drawn by
the Haraiian Gazette of Goth instant to a letter on
the above headed subject in your last issue, may 1
beg to observe that relations on the part of this
Kingdom with foreign Powers would appear at
present to direct reticence of expression, 80 far as
relates to the political aspect - of the East Indian
COolie suggestion. Yet, such aspect appears q doubt
full fact and if admitted as a fact, a simple solution
would apparently suffice to lay it in the Disqualified
ton to the franchise of imported laborers.
The true mission of Great Britain is to carry en-
lightenment, justice, and liberty into all regions of
the earth and her duty to take every measure that
prudence and precaution demand to ensure that
wherever they may be, her 200. OOO, 900 East Indian
subjects may thrive and prosper, and experience the
blessings of good government. Political economy
amongst enlightened nations is usually directed in
cooperation and as to a modification Of the British
Statutes towards rate of wages, the advent of the
East Indian. or any other class of laborers Tin suff-
Gent n~umbers) would adjust the Chinese monopoly.
and recuperate the population.
Even were q concession necessary, it would appear
to contribute towards amehorating the perils of
famine in Hindustan, and be a mutual benefit, and
possibly the means ultimately of supplying the
United States with much needed cheap mechanical
agricultural labor-for it goes without saying
that the present occupants of the Ministerial benches
ct st. Stephens are very Liberal
Lawmakers being provided for law-breakers. no
anxiety should be entertained respecting a just re-
of the decision Of Hawaiian Tribunals. for
the justice of the Empress of India admits no dis
.tinction Of high or low, when the Laws of God and
man have been outraged. i-Af
am. Sir. yours obediently.

TEE OBELIsK.-The Egyptian monolith, other
wise :. CleoPatra's Needle" has caused 4 good
deal Of trouble and v~exation since its arrival in
New York harbor. The Americans do NOT take
after antiquities like some other people, and if
the obelisk had been put up for sale at auction.
instead of being q donation to this country, it is
doubtful whether there would have been any ex-
cessive bidding. IL was some time before a site
could be decided upon for the obelisk. While
the Discussion on this head was going on, there
was also q question as to who owned the obelisk.
The city Of New York has come into its
Possession, and il has been transferred up the
North River to Ninety-sixth street, at which
point it b 20 be taken ashore and placed in an
upright position. To the curious the obelisk will
always be an object Of interest, and thousands of
visitors to New York will wish to see it, and
a pilgrimage from their hotels for that
purposes. =. Cal:
