Japanese Diet.

Fish and rice are the staple articles of
Japanese diet, and without either Of these
the nation would tind 1t hard to exist. The
soil Is fertile, and apparently vegetables
grow well here. Sweet potatoes, ordinary
potatoes, turnipe, carrots, squashes or
pumpkins, egg-plants and peas are grown,
but 10 not enter largely into the peoples
diet. Beans arc an important article, and
from these is manufactured "tofee' or
"tofe"-litcrally bean chccse-an article
largely used by the poorer classes. Rad
ishes are also grown to some extent, and
some varieties arc very large and not un-
like beets. They are rather coarse in grain
and texture, but not 30 much 30 as their
size would indicate. Tho young bamboo
10 also eaten to some extent, and variety
of mushrooms arc used in making sauces
and reishes. A species of maize is raised,
but II Is very inferior to the American In
dian corn, and is not used to any great ex-
tent. Tomatoes have been introduced
from the United States within the last few
years, and are received with considerable
favor. Cakes and unleavcned bead Of
various kinds arc made from rice -four, and
in the seapOrts bread mndo from hour I'M
ported from California is beginning to be
used by some OF the natives. OF fruits,
oranges, peaches, pears, plums, apricots,
pcrsimons, raspberries, mulberrics, and
currants arc indigenous there, but none Of
them grow in great perfection, and most
OF them arc quite inferior IN quality. APP
pies and strawberries have been introduced
10 some extent from other countries, but
although they can DO grown there, do not
seem 10 take kindly to the soil. The pears
are round, mostly Of russct color, coarse
ingram. not sweet, and are sort OF cross
between the apple and the pear. Various
kinds of melons are largely grown, but
these are very inferior to the English pro-
ductionof the salnc. The climate Is moist,
which keeps the vegetation constantly
green and beautiful. The general impress
sion which one gets in comlLg here is that
Japan is beautiful country, and that her
inhabitants are making great efforts to
adopt what ls best and most. progressive
among other nations.

THE LIQUOR LAW.

We do not approve of the use of the Kings
vetoing power excepting in very rare cases
and have frequently before condemned the de-
p~endence which the Ministry have placed in it
for the Illustration of measures which have passed
in spite of their own efforts to the contrary. But
if ever a need of the exercise of such a power
were felt, it is at the present j~zncture, when it is
proposed to increase the powers of the Hawaiian
for his own self destruction. Rather than see the
Hawaiian suffer by the fulflment of such a Law
as that of Mr.. Hoopili Bakers, we believe that
many OF the more intelligent foreigners would
themselves willingly forego the use Of spirits al
together. To close (after a reasonable time has
been given them to do away with their stock
every Wholesale and retail liquor shop in the land,
has been the suggestion of many intelligent men
of the town and we believe strenuous efforts
will be made to effect such a consummation. IF
such could be effected it would be to the interests
of society generally. The small proportion of
pleasure, without abuse, derived by a few, from
the use of spirits. is not commensurate with the
misery, restitution and crime it has been and is
universally causing, here as well as in other parts
of the globe. Surely the Hawaiian then ought
not to complain of any inequality or distinctions
Of race. This certainly seems to be the only al
tentative if the Hawaiian persists. We are not
of opinion that the passage of this liquor bill
would effect, much, the condition of the natives
in regard to drunkenness, excepting upon the
first emancipation, and then it would be like a
day ashore for poor Jack from his long voyage.
With what we already know about the unre-
strained traffic that has been carried on in alcoho-
lie beverages throughout the Islands by the Chin
ese, it is hard to conceive that it could be made
more ready of access to them, excepting perhaps
as far as the difference in price might make it SO,
aud if we thought there were yet no hope of a re-
s%triction being placed upon Chinese, we would say,
as we have before said, let the natives have free
rum.

THE HAWAIIAN POST OFFICE.

We referred last week to the UNIVERSAL Posi-
AL UNION. This Union now embraces ffty-Eour
governments and colonies, bound together by
treaty. A uniform rate of postage for foreign
letters, papers, books, samples, and in short ali
mailable matter is thereby secured. The
letter rate is five cents for each half
ounce, that of newspapers one cent, pre-
paid, or if not prepaid, double these rates to
be collected on delivery. All prepaid matter of
any description is allowed to pass to it's dsstina-
ton without further charge, each country retain
ing all the postage collected by it. Accounts be-
tween different governments which formerly were
a source of annoyance are by this system entirely
done away with. Although the Hawaiian Gov
eminent has not joined the Postal Union, it yet
enjoys some of the benefits thereof through the
courtesy of the American Postal officials.
The money order system. which has been ADOPT
ed as part of the post Office service in nearly ey-
cry country except Hawaii, originated in Eng
land, and is now very popular among all classes.
By it, small sums of money from ten cents to fifty
dollars can be sent from one place to another
with almost perfect safety, the losses being less
than one in a million. The fee for this service is
triHing an order for any sum under fifteen dol
payable on demand at any other money order
Office, costs but ten cents, and with other amounts
q correspondingly small amount only is charged.
The total amount of post Office money orders sent
in the United States during the last fiscal year is
The Pacific commercial advertiser. [volume] (Honolulu, Hawaiian Islands) 1856-1888, 1880-07-24

reported to have been eighty-eigM millions OF dol
lars, and the net revenue derived from money
order fees was two hundred and twenty thousand
dollars 1920, 000.)
These money orders have become a necessity IN
having small accounts of any kind, where the
settlement has to be made by mail, and especial
ly for paying newspaper subscriptions Ihey are
made out for any amount of dollars and cents.
If introduced here, they would Immediately be
sought for in the payment of small bills ana
quarterly accounts, where DOW it is often dithcult
to procure their settlement, and where coin Is too
often risked and lost in passing from island to
island. They would help more than anything
else to secure prompt payment.
Quite recently the British Postmaster General
has introduced what are called postal notes, OF
the denominations of % Cd, IS, los, and 2Os.
These notes are sold in book form or singly, and
are payable at any money order Office in the
Kingdom.
Both in England and the United States the
mails are used much more than here for trans
portation of light merchandise, such as clothing,
seeds, plants, &c. We trust that statistics like
these may suggest a possible application OF this
system here, and would recomnsRd to the con-
sideration of the Legislature now asl "Dieo'
what we have attempted to show are the benz.
Of the system elsewhere.

Honolulu, July 23rd. 1880.
SIR On the 2Ist of this month, a well made-up
story was circulated in the Hobbies of the House
of Legislature that Mr.. Along. a Chinese merchant
of this city, had been recently appointed agent of
the China Merchants Steam Navigation Company,
for the port of Honolulu, and that in bis new quail
ity of agent had sent a letter to the Ministry stat
ing that said C.. NJ. S. n. Co. does not want any
money subsidy after most carefully inquiring at
the source from where this thing was said to have
originated, | found it to be a canard of the first
water. Moreover it was stated that Mr.. Along ask
ed from the Ministry for water, wharfage and other
privileges to be extended to the steamers of the
aforementioned company. There was no need
for it, for the reason that such privileges were
granted to me in an official letter dated January 8,
1880, by the King and Cabinet Ministers in Coun-
ell. in answer TO my Memorial addressed to them
under date of December 25th. 1879. This is a
very awkward and unfair political strategy,
and leave public opinion to arraign before its
tribunal the enterprising authors of this baseless
and damaging story.
To conclude, l must firmly state that Mr.. Along
is not the agent of the c. NJ. s. n. Co., aud his
credentials as such as it was also stated in the
story, exist only in the fertile inauguration of the
enterprising authors of this whole affair. Fiat ct
lux facta est. CELSo CESAR MORENO.
