July, 1873. During the past TWO years they
filed their respective Offices with credit to them
selves. and with the almost universal appreciation
Of the public. Men holding high public posi-

lie devoted the largest portion of bis time to the
country, and, had he been retained in ONCE. we
might expect to have seen in two or three years
hence the development Of those plans which be
has devised, and the judicious expenditure OF the
large sums that have been appropriated for per-
manent improvements. OF his colleagues We can
only speak in equally high terms, and 1t Is
further a pleasure for us to testify to the eetima-
ton in which they were held, and the respect
shown to them by their subofdinates. The late
vote of 81 want Of confidence" brought forward
in the Assembly proves their position with the
Mobiles and Representatives, and the general
demonstration of public sentiment already en-
pressed, and which still pervades this city, goes
to show that their recent peremptory dismissal
from Office is inexplicable.

WE ARE credibly informed that the China
steamer Hochung brought over from China $780,
0eO for the purpose of rendering q loan to this
Government. Now as il is a well known fact
that the HOchung is a Government steamer. q
statement we make on the letter of MIR. G. @.
Moreno, to which appeared in the Horraiian Ga
=ene of November PC. 1879, we naturally presume
this is Government money. Surprising the loan
bill had passed, what might have been the result,
and in this connection the question suggests it
self why the sudden change Of Ministry? There
is a link in these matters which can possibly be
detected. On the other hand, why not borrow
from China if money can be had from there
cheaper than elseWhere But this hardly seems
feasible when we know that China has, during
the past six years, borrowed largely from foreign
markets, principally London. For the informa-
ton Of our readers and fnanciers we quote the
following loans. Chinese Imperial Government
loan Of 1874, E533 AIS, bearing interest at 8 per
cent. Ditto Of 1877, 81, 604 ,276 at 8 per cent.
Ditto of 1878, 81. 500 1888 at 8 per cent. These
loans are secured by the Customs revenue which
for the year 1879, amounted to nearly $4,000
900. China may be the treasury Of the world,
but she has not yet become q lender OF money TO
other nations without some Interior object in
view. The wire pulling is of q peculiar nature,
and one that will not bear q strict Investigation.
We shall probably again refer to this matter at
an early date.

the English method, and there seems to be no

1t also may happen that His Majesty may have
good reasons for dismissing a Ministry, which
affect the public welfare, and are not generaLy

The PAST WEEK has been one Of much excite
ment. During the day Of our last issue the
Propagation of the Legislative Assembly, and the
returning by His Majesty of some exceptional
bills, had relieved the public mind from the
anxious strain of the previous few weeks and
our citizens were about to turn to their usual
avocations free from the anxiety caused BY fears
of reckless legislation, when it was suddenly
announced that the efficient and capable Cabinet
Ministers who had successfully, and entirely to
the public satisfaction. conducted the affairs of
the Government for the last two years. and who
had laid careful plans for the coming two years,
which had received the sanction of the Legislative
Assembly, had been summarily and rudely dis
missed from Office.
This sudden action alone was enough to cause
anxiety, but it was hoped that it was but an act
for which good reason would be given. and that
their successors would be men worthy of public
confidence but even this hope was dashed when
the names Of the new Cabinet was made known.
Not in the history of the present reign has the
public mind been so agitated and alarmed, and
it may be added so recklessly, for prosperous as
the reign has been, there was never less need of a
change in the Ministry.

ing, while many failed to gain admittance.

Chairmen, Henry Mscfarlane and Kslsma, Secre-
taries, and w.. II. Rice, Interpreter.
Mr.. W. B. Castle explained the object of the meet
ing They desire to express to His Majesty that the
dismissal Of the late Cabinet did not meet with public
approval. and the appointment of other parties to
the respective posts, more especially that of G. C..
Moreno, - Minister Of Foreign Relations, was not
in accordauce with public sentiment.
Mr. Dole then introduced the following resolution,
which be also supported with q vehement but sound
speech, condemning the action of His Majesty as
contrary to the Constitution. He received loud and
universal applause. +,
WHEREAS, His Majesty Kalakaua. King Of the
csuse dissolved the late Ministerial Cabinet while
they had the confidence OF the Legislative Assem-
oily and OF the country at large, and has appointed
10 their stead a Ministry including one Celso C..

BE 4 Resotucd-That His Majesty has thereby
acted lnconsistently with the principles OF the
haWAllan government as q constitutional Mon
archy as established and handed down by the Ka-
mehamehas and their successor Lunalilo, and that
bis action therein is hostile to the permanence of
Hawaiian independence, the perpetuity of the
Hawaiian race and the security OF life, liberty and
property in the Hawaiian Islands.

~lations, came forward snd was greeted with loud ap-

The PREVAILING feeling during the past week
among all who respected His Majesty was one Of
sadness that evil advisers should have held such
sway in the Royal Councils. 1t was plainly evil
dent that there must be an interruption Of friend

was a general wish that any diplomatic remon-
