A correspondent OF the Ruolya writing fr,,,
kawaihae says that great deal of drunkenness
prevails there, men and women behaving like
pigs, fighting and provclling in the dirt and asks.
where are the police, that they do not put stop
to the disgracefu business.
very different picture from that Of Kawaihae
Is the description Of \ Hawaiian Home" at Wal.
alua. that of Rev. =. f.. Timothy, as vi ven by Mr.
! ii. Waterhouse in the same paper
The h"okoa says editoriaIly Of the mission to
Portugal: This Minister has several times before
been abroad on business of this kind or the Uaw-
aiian Government, and il familiar with the mode
OF procedure before the heads of foreign govern
ments; he is n servant of this government. and
| goes as he is directed. But the Eieie and the
Pde 4ihd have lately been much excited on learn
ing that this public servant was going abroad on
government service, aud have made use of bitter
and abusive Language in regard to him. What do
they mean, or what do they desire If the MIN
lister has done wrong III any particular, let it be
pointed out, but do not find fault with him for
carrying out the instructions of his government

when we remember the many chiefs and common
psype VINO, in the prime of life have been destroy
ed by this one thing. The Of ava is also de-
siraetive of the life Of the people.
Illicit co-habitation, especially among those
who have not yet arrived at maturity, is another
prolihc source of disease, and premature decrepi-
tude whereby many among US are incapacitated
from becoming the parents Of children. The eager
rush after pleasure, regardless of consequences Is
gre"s obstacle to progress Recreation of itself
temporarily indnlged in, il we'll; but all play and
no Work results III poverty and snort life. The
mlchine that runs wildly without work is liable to
break lhe growth of idlehess among the people
Is also a cause of their decrease. The growing
nations arc the industrious ones. Ii our people
desire to increase, habits of industry must bo ir-
cuicated IN the yonng throughout the land
we nave set forth these things, not as finding
fault, but for the purpose of incitng and en-

Tie Pae Ai,a, having read and thoroughly con-
sidc!ed the Report of the Commissioners of immi-
gration says: ut is full of valuable information
respecting the countries visited, to which We
should devote careful attention; seeing that the
subject of immigration is ono of paramount i'm
portanSe to Us. II will not be advantageous to
bring tither all sorts of people, especially such as
are stnning enough to take advantage of our

further decrease our people.
"Our Commissioner dwells mt some length
the question of East Indian immigration, and the
conclusions at which he arrives are pretty much
IN accord with our own, inasnuch it is not
labor alone that we need, but population also to
fill the country. We do not believe that India is
the source from which population is to be re-
cuperated, for the road is full of difficulties and
distractions We cannot get from themes proper
and desirable women or men either according to
the showing of tho Commissioner IL we should
get an immigration from India, 1T would neither
increase benefit our own people for when
those people brought here, Commissioner
Will be sent along to look ont for them-as it were,
q King over our own Sovereign, and how would
that suit US
I'VE quite agree with what the Commissioner
says IN regard to the Malays, and the iinnigra-
tion of the Portuguese and people from Europe;
aud also with his concluding remarks to the
duties of foreigners residing here to assist the
Hawaiian people; to perpetuate, to increase and
strengthen them ana to aid in carrying ON the
government so as to secure those ends"
