In LOOKING over our files of foreign exchanges
we note that while our own people have been
complaining of an unusual amount of sickness
and making figures and comparisons as to the
rate of mortality, the same tale of unusual sick
ness is heard from other parts of the world.
From New Zealand we hear of the prevalence of
diptheria, and a late number of a Sydney paper
speaks of " the enormous death rate " in that
city. There, as well as here, the authorities are
blamed for the neglect of sanitary laws and regu-
lations. In Sydney 1t seems they have sewers,
and the complaint is that they are not effective,
for the lack of proper care. We quote from the
Daily Telegraph:
"If the sewers were cleaned out and the city
made wholesome. the death-rate would probably
decrease but we should lose the practical opera
ton of that principle described by Darwin as " the
survival OF the 6ttest." IT our children die from
the effects of poisonous atmosphere, we may con-
sole ourselves with the reflection that those who
live are possessed OF extraordinary vitality. 1t
may be that the officers whose business it is to look
after the public health are Influenced in the exer-
else OF their duty by considerations concerning
the future of the race but whatever their motives
may be they are not disposed to tolerate hasty in
novations. Buckle. in his history of civilization
in England. states that three centuries ago it was
not customary for the inhabitants of one portion OF
Great Britain To wash themselves more than once
in a month, and be also informs us that there was
not a single baron who could sign his own name.
To-day the people referred to are as robust in body
as they are vigorous in mind. Whether this is the
result of the " wedding " that took place when
there was no soap used by them. we do not pretend
to say. but allowing Darwin and the doctors to be
right, it still questionable whether, in these days
OF scientific knowledge, we are justified in
e Strengthening the innocents." Sadler, in bis
% Law of Population" lays it down as a fixed
principle that the birth-rate falls of and the death
rate increases in proportion to the density of the
people. and we may point to Sydney as an apt il
lUstration Of the theory. But the fact is one thing
and the cause another. Large cities, we imagine,
are unhealthy. not because they are large cities,
but because OF the difficulties attending the carry
ing out Of proper sanitary laws. These difficulties.
however. do not warrant us in regarding filth and
malaria with actual veneration. So long as there
are slums and tever-breeding alleys with their re-
fuse fostering in the sun, we must expect to see
the ' little ones wilt and grow pale and die"
But Is this to last for ever. or will the exposure
lead to reform p;

The SUBJECT Of immigration, which is one of
paramount Importance to everybody who feels an
interest in the country, is briefly discussed in
Wednesday, Gazette, while about two columns
space is devoted to a heavy essay on that we'll
worn topic the press. While we quite agree
with our contemporary that it would be a most de-
sirable state of affairs if the whole country could
be " cut up into farms Of so to 500 acres and then
be cultivated by farmers who owned them and I'M
derstoOd their business yet we are compelled,
by the logic of facts, to dismiss the idea as an i'm
possibility, under present circumstances. The
owners Of . private lands in large quantities -
may or may not sell to small farmers, as their
interests dictate and it will require an act
Of the Legislature to devote the crown lands to
the purpose indicated, including a perpetual
grant Of the amount Of revenue which they repre-
sent. So much, for the present. at least, in re-
gard 10 tie pleasant dream o. filling che country
with mall farmers.
The writer under review after referring to the
sort Of immigrants that we would like to have,
asks if the class recently brought from the South
Seas are the immigrants needed, and intImates
that, like the " Manahiki > experiment of 1868,
this will prove a failure, because the new arrivals
~ lAO " w olA NOlh Oh cl1L4c
The assumption is a gratuitOus one, and not at
all borne out by the facts. We have made per-
sonaI inquiries of those plantation owners and
agents who have engaged numbers of these South
Sea Islanders, and who, after a fair trial, are
quite unanimous in t~estifying to their good quail
ties. From Hawaii, Molokai, Oahu and Kauai,
come the same reports q We want no better
wOrkmen they are not sickly they are good
natured and w~illing-we prefer them to China
men," This result is much better than was ex-
pected, for with all the drawbacks involved in a
change of climate, food and habits, it was to be
anticipated that several months would elapse be-
fore these people could be reckOned upon as really
serviceable labOrers, and the planters took them
on with a clear understanding to that effect. And
we apprehend that the statement here made, and
on the best authority, effectually disposes of the
Gazette's~ assumption that a. these people are I'M
able to live and work on the Islands,

JANUARY q.

A LEADING article IN our last issue on the sub
ject Of gaming requires a correction as 70 the law.
On closer examination Of the penal statutes de
it not almost time they were codrfed again p we
find in the session Of 1870, the second. third and
fourth sections Of Chapter 80 Of the Penal Code,
relative to gaming. were repealed, and the follow
ing comprehensive and severe enactment was
substituted 1" Whoever Is guilty Of gaming
shall be punished by fine not exceeding one hun
dred dollars, and By Imprisonment at hard labor,
not exceeding sixty days" 1t will be observed
that while under the former law the punishment
was fine or imprisonment, it is now both fine
and Imprisonment at hard labor.
HE HEARTY hospitality with which the Hawaii
ans treat the lately arrived immigrants from the
South Seas, lie not only Characteristic of the
nation but shows that they recognize and appre-
ciate the fact that there are ties Of consanguinity
and a common origin between them and the Mic
ronesians- Wherever the latter go on the Islands,
they readily mix with our people. very soon pick
up the language and form friendships. Not a
few have been secured as servants by the well-to-
do among the Hawaiians, and being treated with
kindness, decently clad and well fed, are content
ed and happy At a plantation on a neighbor-
ing Island where a number of these people. male
and female, were recently received as laborers,
the natives were particularly kind and attentive
TO the strangers. The women were welcomed BY
their Hawaiian sisters, who were clamorous TO be
allowed to adopt the children, and on a Sunday
after service in the neighboring Church a contri-
button was taken up, the money being devoted TO
the purchase Of new clothing which was present.
ed to the welLpleased Micronesians We mention
these facts as being in support of the position we
have all along assumed, that the proper source
from which to recuperate the Hawaiian nation is
the South Sea Islands.
We may add that so well liked are the South
Sea Islanders that those planters who have tried
them invariably want more and we are informed
by the Agent Of the Board of Immigration that
those expected to arrive have been all bespoken
in advance, to the number of 300. The applica-
tions have exceeded the supply two to one. More
than one planter has declared in our hearing,
that they should hire no more Chinese.

THE CHINESE QUESTION AZ CHICAGO.


The Pacific Slope delegates at Chicago
have drafted anti-Chinese resolutions
which, while certainly embodying the
general sense of the people of this coast on
the question, are characterized by modera-
tion and dignity. 1t is, however, broadly
intimated that they are too pronounced to
meet the views of either the Committee on
Resolutions or the Convention, the opposi-
ton to them proceeding from Eastern del
egates who are altogether ignorant OF the
subject, and who are influenced only by a
stupid and Experimentation. If
the Chicago Convention does not care how
the Pacific States and Territories vote, it
can afford to palter with this issue, and to
substitute meaningless platitudes for pur-
poseful propositions. But tits to be feared
that the Democratic National Convention
will in that case take particular pains to
insert strong anti-C Chinese planks in its
platform, with results which we should
have thought sufficiently obvious. We
hope the Chicago Convention will suffer
itself to be persuaded in this matter by our
delegates, who certainly ought to be able
to show the real character OF the question
to the satisfaction OF Eastern humani-
tarians.

THE KERN COUNTY TROUBLES.

The people of Kern county believe that
they have been i'll served by several of
their officers, and the Grand Jury having
indicted some of them, they are now being
tried, or awaiting trial. The late Assessor,
Donnell, and the Deputy Assessor, Bots
ford, are charged, the first with embezzle-
ment, and the second with forgery. 1t is
said that he entered the word 'Epaid y
after the names of certain taxpayers while
the assessment roll was in the Collectors
hands. As it is alleged that the last
County Judge neglected to call a Grand
Jury for two years, and as happygo-
lucky manner of doing things seems to
have characterized nearly all the county
officials, it may turn out that there has
been more carelessness than crime in the
laches of the offenders Even should this
prove to be the case, however, they would
not be exonerated, since county officers are
not justified in laxity of any kind. There
does not appear to have been much stolen
from the county treasury but the bust
ness of the county seems to have been so
neglected, or conducted SO recklessly, that
a thorough overhauling has become neces-
