THE value of sympathy and kindness in
attendance on the sick, has been beauti-
fully illustrated recently in New York
City, and elsewhere in the United States
by organizations of ladies for the pre-
sentation of flowers to the sick Door in
the hospitals. Those noble and gentle
hearts, who took part in such angelic
work, felt that it is not enough to lodge
and bed and care for the physical wants of
the poor sick souls. The bed-ridden want
something from the healthful to give them
cheer and hope. And what inspiring in
fuence must the sympathizing look of a
kind fair face, with fragrant floral offering
in hand, AVE upon a sad hearted, des-
pairing invalid ! Such a vision of tender
charity, must be a beneficient inspiration
to many a poor sick soul for evermore.

THE mortality among our smallpox

20 or over one third of the patients
taken to the Quarantine Hospital on the
reef is unusually large. Must we assume,
that our population is exceptionally liable
to suffer from this disease or nave we to
say, that so large a mortality is the result
of malpractice, mismanagement or some
thing else ? If we miss a few dollars in Il
Tax Collectors account, we follow him up,
have him tried and convicted, and a public
sense of right and justice approves his pun
ishment. But if we miss a few people :;
a few of our poor brethren get out of our

they become food for sand spiders, must we

their intOlerable itching pustules and sores
in a coarse blanket, are said to be able to

THE subject of a marine railway, or re-
pairing dock for this Port attracts attention
at this time. The Legislature appropriated
100000 for this purpose but ministers
ave hesitated to undertake the work and
Tuesday last invited a meeting of ship
wrights, merchants, and others to discuss
with them the ACCESSIBILITY of undertaking
the enterprise at this time. We present in
another column, the report of the discussion
on this appropriation when before the Legis-
lature, as published in this journal at the
time. 1t will he seen that a committee APP
proved the measure, and the Assembly voted
the sum called for but it is proper to men,
ton, that subsequently the Chairman, and
other members of the Committee, and of
the Assembly reconsidered their vote, on
the appropriation for the marine railway,
and recommended that the appropriation
be transferred to immigration.
All parties were agreed in regard to the
importance of providing a structure for the
repair or construction of vessels in this port,
but the point in question was whether the
exipencies of the Port now called for this
structure; and whether there were not other
and more vital public measures, that de-
manded a prior consideration.
We appreciate the paramount Importance
of this Port. 1t has one of the first-class
harbors of the world. 1t has a mighty
promise. The lines of some of the grandest
enterprises, of the worlds advancing march
of progress, converge here or lead this way.
Honolulu will become the heart of Pacific
and Asiatic commercial enterprise. And
erelong we may wisely spend half a million,
or more for facilities for the handling of
great ships and yet it may be a doubtful
policy to spend at this time n hundred
dollars on an inadequate struct-
ure. 1t is mainly a private interest that
presses for this immediate expenditure.
There are no foreign ships now calling here
for dock accommodation; and our inter

THE TREATY of Reciprocity between the
United States and the Hawaiian Kingdom
went into operation in September, 1876, to
continue by the terms of Section 9Th,
:. Seven years from the date at which it
may come into operation and further I'M
til the expiration of twelve months after
either of the contracting parties shall give
notice to the other of its wish to terminate
the same each of the high contracting
parties being at liberty to give such notice
to the other at the end of the said term of
seven years, or at any time thereafter"
More than half the allotted term having
expired, it may be well to take a retrospect
i've view of things in general in connection
with the working of the Treaty. 1t will be
remembered how earnestly some of us
worked, early and late, in season and out
of season, during successive years, to induce
the American Congress to grant us "the
boOn" of this Treaty and how it was said
and evidently felt, that unless the Treaty
were obtained many ofOur costly agriculture
al enterprises must collapse, involving in
their ruin that of all other depending in
the decay of m and trade,
the financial failure of the Government,
and finally the RELOCATION of Honolulu to
its old-time condition of a mere fishing viii
lage. In pleasing contract, however, to this
dismal picture as presented in the fore
holdings of failure, four years of reciprocity
privileges have rescued some sugar
from impending bankruptcy lave
the number of agricultural enter
prises throughout the country, and largely
added to the aggregate of the national
wealth built up various fiourishing indus
tries, enlivened trade and enlarged COM
merce /; increased the revenue of Govern
ment and permanently improved and
adorned the metropolis.
\ few figures will show at a glance the
great advance which the country has made
in four years, under the operation of the

The excess of passenger arrivals over de
partures III 1876 was 2,O55, of whom 1000
were Chinese males; in 1850 the figures
1865 more arrivals than departures, of
whom J, 100 were Chinese males.
The Customs receipts for 1876 amounted
to S1O9,O 36. 40 for 1850, the figures were
SOP, 1S1.6 an increase of 1898, 1923.
The foregoing figures, representing the
logic of facts, illustrate very clearly and
strikingly the great impulse which the
Treaty has given to the development of the
material resources of this Kingdom. The
increase in values and the large additions
made to the material wealth of the country
through the operation of the Treaty, have,
as a matter of course, very considerably
augmented the revenues of the Govern
ment through taxes, sales and leases of
lands and various realiZations, so that
financially, the treasury was never perhaps
in a more prosperous condition than at
present.
Having thus briefly considered the re-
suits produced by means of the Treaty in
connection with the subject of the
aggregate material wealth of the country,
we propose in our next to review those re-
suits in their bearing upon the people
themselves.

THE exceptional savagery which under
certain circumstances breaks out from be-
meath the smooth exterior of the China
man has been eXemplified in a shocking
manner in the murder committed by Leong
Lung on Sundaylast, and equally, although
with less disastrous consequences in the
attack made the day previous Oh Captain
Ross, At Wainae. 1t is a good many years
now since this community was first
startled by a similar crime in which Mr..
Dudoit, the first French Consul, was the
victim. For some slight provocation he
was butchered with a Ratchet by his Chi
nese cook. On that occasion the murderer
having like Leong Lung, madehis escape,
principal Chinese residents in Honolulu
combined and offered a reward of $1,000,
for his capture. There are now many more
wealthy Cinnamon living here than the
h~alf-dozen who then put their hands in
their pockets for the credit of their nation
in order to bring the murderer to justice,
and we would suggest to them that they
might very appropriately follow their ex-
ample just now.

WASHINGTON, ID. o., May ~, 1881.
The excitement in political circles here,
caused by the designations Of Senators Conk-
ling and Plat, is rapidly dying out, or rather
has been transferred to Albany, where the
gathering of the clans for the contest next
week is making hub-bub not heard there in
years.
From conviction on all sides early in the
week, that the Senators would he promptly
and unanimously returned, there is now a
feeling of much doubt, and the enemies of
Mr. Conkling in the New York Legislature
freely say that he will not be returned. Mr..
Platt shares but a small part of the discus
sion, he being acknowledged the mere tool
of the senior ex-senator. Immediately upon
the announcement at the White House of
Judge Robertson's confirmation, the Presi-
dent sent to the Senate the New York nom
nations withdrawn some weeks ago.
Hon. George b. Loring, ex-member of
Congress has been nominated for Commits
sioner of Agriculture. X. X. Bruce. the col
ored ex-senator from Mississippi. has been
nominated for Register of the Treasury
The letter of General Grant to Senator
Jones, in which he deprecates the cause of
the administration in the fight with Senator
Conkling. is causing much comment here,
and there are many good friends of the
General who are displeased that he should
have expressed himself in such plain terms,
and that they should be given to the public
1t would seem that the great hobby of desire
of all politicians-oficials, as we'll as ex-
officials-is that of patronage and its cor
rect" distribution.
A census bulletin has been issued by Gen
Walker, of the census bureau, in which he
locates the centre of population for 1880, al
point in Kentucky, 8 miles west by south
from the heart of the city of Cincinnati
and one mile from the south bank of the
Ohio river, and one and a half miles south
east of the village of Taylorsville. This bull
letin containing also table showing the move
ment of the centre of population for every
fen years since 1890, when it was 30 miles
east of Baltimore in 1900 it was IL miles
west of Baltimore, and for each succeeding
decade moved as follows 40 miles north
west by west of Washington; 16 miles north
of Woodstock 10 miles west 10y southwest
of Moorefeld; 16 miles south of Clarksburg
% miles southeast of Parkersburg 20 miles
south of Chillicothe: 48 miles east by north
of Cincinnati, and thence to 1880 when, az
mentioned above, it was miles west by
south of Cincinnati.
The centre of population is the centre oil
gravity of the population of the country.
The appointment of Mr.. Lanston as chief
clerk of the Pension Office. and Mr.. Smith tc
be chief of the special division, are excellent
and insure the continued efficiency of the
Pension office in both departments. 1t may
also be stated that Mayor o. p. G. Clark
who has for the past two years ably occupied
the desk OF deputy Commissioner of Pen
sions, has rendered his resignation, to taks
effect to-day.

The field of political strife since the res
ignatioa Of the New York senators has
changed from Washington to Albany, and
the oil absorbing topic in politics is whether
they will be reelected and returned. The
Legislature adjourned for the evident
purpose of letting its members 90 home to
counsel with their constit ents in relation to
the pending election. What the result will
be can only be guessed while the belief is.
that through Legislature elected to subserve
his own personal ends, Conkling will be able
at least to secure his own election whether
he will be able to secure that of his man Fri
day, Plat, also, is surrounded with great
deal of doubt. The part Mr.. Platt has taken
in the matter, has been that of mere puppet
He had no cause of complaint, had there
any existed on the part of Conkling, for he
was elected senator with the understanding
that he would support the nomination of
Robertson. The people look with dsdain
upon senator who has not force of charnc-
ter enough to assert his individuality in a
time like this. 1t is reported, however, that
Conkling has asserted that they both must
stand or fall together. He would counter
ance no combination which should send to
Washington. as his colleague. any other man
than the one who acted with him in demand
ing the State should be respected by the
President. If Conkling sets his heart on
being reelected, its not doubted that be
would throw Plat overheard whenever he
shall decide that he, Platt is an obstacle in
the way of his own success Should Mr..
Conkling succeed by the machine" applian-
ces and corrupt coalition with the Democrats.
10 which he will have to resort to bring il
about, it will be but sickly vindication by
the Republican party of the great State of
New York, of the position he has taken in
relation to her patronage. His prestige and
patronage. which have combined for num-
Der of years to make him leader in Amer
icsn politics, will have vanished from his
grasp, and should he enter the United States
Senate as is reported an avowed independent
he may annoy the administration 10y Grip
ping it, and perhaps pave the way for the
next Democratic nomination for President
Greeley like, to be beaten.
