THE CONDITION OF THE CITY.


Honolulu is a ba~dly-cared-for city. It's
shabby streets and irregular pavements
would make it despicable in the eyes of
strangers if the lovely trees, in which it is
embosomed, did not claim their admira-
ton, and take their attention off the
meaner details. 1t is high time that the
charge of our ways and water channels,
and the whole business of the city govern
ment were in other hands than those of a
Government department., whose duties are
otherwise multifariOus. The day will, no
doubt, come when Honolulu will have its
own municipal government Meanwhile,
it is neither right nor wise-we may add
that it is not safe-to go On any longer in
the slipshod way that we have been doing.
The subject demand consideration at the
hands of all inhabitants of the place who
have a thought to spare for anything but
private business and pleasure. We propose,
in a series of articles, to treat shortly upon
the various points which appear to us to
require attention, and which are provided
for in the bylaws of all w~ell-regulated
cities. The fact that a large part of our
population consists of Hawaiians and
Chinese who nave no knowledge of such
municipal institutions as are common in
American and European towns is noreason
why we should overlook the necessities OF
the place, or be forever behind all other
towns of like size to be found in civilized
communities. We shall submit for con
sideration our views on the Construction
and Management of the Streets and Foot
paths, Building Regulations, Street and
Traffic RepulafiOns. Sanitary TmnrOye-
ments, and the Duties of Householders i'm
relation to them, Public Parks and Gar
dens, and so forth. We may also venture,
before concluding, to suggest methods
which might be adopted for the more
efficient government of the city so long as
it may be deemed necessary hat it should
run in leading strings, and remain without
a municipal institution of its own.

WE PUBLISH to-day a memorial adj
dressed to the King by natives resident in
the neighborhood of Koloa, Oh Kauai.
This is only one of several addresses of a
similar purport which have been sent from
various parts of the kingdom. We have
no desire to prolong controversies which
are i'm themselves fruitless, but deem it
proper to call attention to the fact that
among the loyal memorialists of Koloa are
to he found nearly every native whose
name appears attached to a former petition
from Kauai, in which His Majesty was
addressed in language which no gentleman
would permit himself to use to another,

!" THE PURCHASE by Col. Claus Spreckels
of certain alleged claims of Her Highness
Ruth Keelikolani on the Crown lands Of
this kingdom has occasioned many in
quiries as to the nature of those claims,
and, being looked upon as a move rather
political h speculative, has excited
much public interest. We therefore, for
the benefit of that large, majority of our
readers to whom such things are not readily
accessible, reprint those portions of the
Judgment of the Supreme Court, to which
we referred last week, which bear upon the
case. The judgment was given in PM

THE NEWSPAPERS published in San
Francisco Immediately after the arrival
there Of the Hochung contain articles
upon Hawaiian affairs, most of them
written in a cOntemptuOus and ~jOcular
strain, and all containing blunders as to
the facts upon which they are supposed to
be founded. There can be little wonder
that the exaggerations, mis-statements, and
nonsensical TRADES in which the opposition
Press, and certain persons who appear to
have constituted themselves for the nonce
Especial correspondents " of the San Fran
cisco papers, chose to indulge should have
led distant editors astray. Indeed the mis-
statements which appear in the contribu-
tions printed as correspondence" greatly
exceed in number the blunders which are
found in editorial articles, and betray by
their nature the animus which inspired
them. The people of these islands are
treated to much fatherly advice by one
paper-the S. F. Merchandise journal pub
| lished chiefly in the interest of firms con-
nected by business relations with thisK King
dom, and with the Pacific Mail Company.
Whilst gladly recognizing the tone of these
articles, which differs so greatly from that
in vogue with the opposition here, we can
only express, in reply to them, our belief
that the ~apprehensions which led the Aer-
| chant to devote so much space to our affairs
were altogether without foundation-that
the only mischief that has been caused by
recent political changes here has been the
loss of official salaries by certain persons,
and of profitable Government patronage by
certain firms, and that the country gene
rally will be a gamer by the change.
