WE ARE indebted to the courtesy of the Minis
ter of Finance for the Table of principal domestic
exports for the fourth quarter of 1879, as COM
piled by the Hon. w. F. Allen. Collector Gen
eral of Customs. The table itself will be found
in our commercial column, and affords a crafty
ing evidence of the steady increase which has
been and is still going on in our production of
sugar and rice. The increase in the export of
these two staples for the year just closed over
that of 1873, amounts to more than ten million
pounds Of sugar and two million pounds of rice.
1t is estimated, from a careful observation in re-
ference to the crop to come off, that the increase
of exports of sugar for the year 1880 over 1879,
will amount to more than twenty millions, a
total for the year Of seventy millions of pounds,
or thirty-fve thousand tons. Our exports of rice
for 1879, amounted to nearly five millions of
pounds. the production Of this article having
almost doubled in one year while of paddy, Of
which we sent abroad about three millions of
pounds in 1878, we exported none in lS79-a
fact TO be explained by the existence of two steam
rice mills in this city. The export of rice for
1880 will doubtless be largely IN excess Of that of
1879. Besides sugar and rice, there are
eighteen other articles Of domestic produce emu
merated in the table, and in all of housekeeping
the article Of peanuts, the export OF which has
increased some twenty-five thousand pound
there has been a decrease. This fact shows quite
plainly that the industry and the capital of the
country are devoted mainly to the production
of these two s~taPIes-sugar and rice. We note
that our export Of coffee still decreases, amount
ing to only 1885 pounds during the last year,
against I27 ,O63 in 1878. Some Of this decrease
Of 53,6SS pounds may be attributed to increased
home consumption but it is evident that on &C
count Of blight and the more speedy remunera-
ton obtainable By the growing Of sugar and rice,
the cultivation Of coffee in these Islands has fall
en- into neglect Of late years. Only about ten
years ago, lin 1870 we sent away over 100000
pounds Of coffee in one Sear. Latterly, 1t is re-
ported from reliable sources that the blight
which so seriously affected this crop in Kona,
Hawaii. since about 1860, has sensibly ahated.
The cultivation Of coffee requires a very small
capitaI beyond the cost of the land, and the labor
is extremely light. Kona coffee. it is well-known,
is exceIled by none in the world in point Of flavor.
In The article Of wool, We have dropped a.
642 pounds in 1879 below the amount exported
in Is7S,s which was $50, 7s7 pounds, that being
an increase over 1877 of l37 ,O54 pounds. The
production of this article, though not favored by
the Treaty, is a remuneratiye one, and being
adapted to localities where sugar culture cannot
be prosecuted with advantage, wool must conti-
nue. to maintain its importance as an export.
There is ample room on the Islands for a large
expansion of the business of wool growing. In

Health Standard.

An observing friend suggests an improvement
on the ordinary conversation following the query,
when friends meet on the street ol-' How are
you p which is answered in SO many different
ways, requiring not only time to do so, but not
always clear when tits done. The answers are
generally something like this: Very well )
Z first rates $50 sO;" or Il don't feel just
right to-day-ate cabbage yesterday : or " was
out late last night-took something "-'' feel a
little bilious; took some of McKibbin's blue pills
they are splendid, but they give you fts-go
a hunting, L tell you - the party at the same
time giving his middle story a squeeze. All this
takes time, and when you part with your friend
you are at a loss to say just how he is. Would it
not be far better to give figures ? For instance, we
would call q person in ~frst-rate health par, or
100; out at night, slight cold, too much ice
water, and the like,-from IS upward. A note
due and no money in the bank might be put
down at 60 with interest, or 60 up to rs, just as
the case might be. Considerably indisposed but
able to be about,-irom so to 60. At home,
but able to read u novel or newspaper from %
to so. Anything below 25 would imply that the
party was really sick, and not to be seen. For
example: 'How are you? ?" "Well, from 60 to
rs" This would be plain, and to the point.

To the Editor Of the Pacific Commercial AdUertiser:
SIN In your issue Of the Sd inst, you make men,
ton Of the propriety of a municipal government for
this city. ] AN clearly of the opinion that the time
has come when some effoTi in this direction should
be made. 1t may be questioned however whether
the legislature would be disposed to confer on the
Privy Council such power as would enable that
body tc carry on an erdciOnt city government.
There would be many objections to a regular
municipal governments; tax payers might justly
fear the expense as well as its management, were
the city 10 be ruled and governed by people Of its
own choosing. This may seem strange, still those
who have the most interest in city property will
believe il.
Suppose the legislature were to pass an act, con-
ferring on the King and Privy Council the power to
elect from amongst the property holders five men, to
be known as Supervisory to be elected say for two
years and to serve without pay; to be allowed O
clerk; an appropriation to be made in accordance
with the requirements and improvements contemp-
lated; the board OF Supervisors through their Chair
man having power to draw on the appropriation for
g., on a certain class Of expenditures; extra
ordinary expenditures to be referred to the Privy
Council for their approval.
My object is TO get from some practical pen some
thing more definite and less crude. | am not one Of
the fault finders either with the government or
Board Of Health, and l have no hesitation in saying
that the gentleman who heads the government and
the Board of Health does all that any one man can
or may be expected TO do. But one man can only
do 60 much. ~

To The Editor of The Pacific Commercial advertiser 4:
SIR The other points | had in mind upon the
Sanitary Condition Of Honolulu, referred to in my
communication of December 10th last, are mainly
the conditions the g coming race - make through
out the city. With the increase of their numbers
have sprung up in all directions. numerous Wash
houses, from which-oftentimes in already closely
built localities-the suds and waste water have no
drainage, but help to foster fever germs by a
constant dampness. Prior to their existence the
washing being done principally by native women,
whose preference for the streams for such work
preeluded the possibility Of a~betting such condi-
tons as we have to-day.
The arrival also in our city of several hundred
Chinese at a time, as has occurred several times
within the past year. has been unattended with any
care for sanitary conditions. but were allowed
to come right into our very midst from their long
voyages and literally pack themselves into al
ready crowded localities. with whatever tendencies
to sickness their crowded ship-quarters may have
induced. So long as the Pilots Bill OF Health has
been signed it is presumed to be all right. but the
fact OF having escaped an epidemic from this dlrec-
ton so far is hardly a criterion to keep on so, es-
pecially when there are quarantine quarters where
such might be ordered TO for several days for their
own and the general publie's health, as has been
done with the recent arrivals Of immigrants through
the Board of immigration.
These may not be glaring evils in themselves
alone were it not for the apparent susceptibility
OF our atmospheric conditions to partake of mala-
rial influences. and quite naturally on the universal
law OF " every little makes a muckle," and yet
there are those who have interests in life and pro-
perty adjoining such localities who are loud in
their protestations that they-the chinese-con-
tribute more than their share to the unhealthy
conditions of the city.
The above views will no doubt be sneered at by
some who will ignore their truth and attribute
them to Anti-Cbinese motives, but the facts are
here nevertheless and this class are not going to
remedy any of their evils unless compelled by pub
lie sentiment, or law, to do so.
THos. G. THRUM.
To the Editor of the Pacific Commercial Adrertiser &;
SIR My attention has been drawn to a commu-
nication in your last paper, entitled g Beef EATERS
and signed Sc Query containing statements in re-
gard to the condition Of cattle in the pens below the
prison. l am one of the butchers keeping cattle at
that place, and beg to state, that 1 keep about one
weeks supply of animals on hand at a time that /
purchase food for them in ample quantities, and a
large container in the pen is always kept supplied
with water. As to mud-it is impossible to avoid
that. especially in rainy weather, but in ordinary
dry weather my pen is not muddy, and my cattle are
well taken care Of, in every respect. Yours sc.
