8. This journal will advocate a loan for
internal improvements. 1t is generally
recognized that posterity which may enjoy
largely the advantages of present enter
prises should bear q portion of the burthens
incurred. And, moreover, this other pre-
mise must be considered,-that a state
should not undertake national enterprises
with it income. Let its revenue meet its
current expenditure. And in undertaking
national works, it is legitimate to take
advantage Of the national credit. Of course,
only carefully-considered enterprises and
undertakings of national value should be
the objects of a public loan.
4. In connection with the subject Of a
loan, the consideration of immigration and
the repOpulation of this Archipelago will
come foremost. This country, with its
rich soil and admirable commercial situa-
ton, could wisely borrow very largely for
such al object unde a judicious and honest
administration of Government. IT is to be
hoped that the next Hawaiian Legislature
will provide for carrying out, under avor-
able auspices, u q measure-and also
provide for the care and oversight of labor
ing immigrants, as we'll as for their impor-
tation. And the country must be saved
from any more immigratiOn-heet jobs and
blunders.
5. \ superior system of highways, and of
facilities for the transmission of people,
products and information, is the great de-
sideratum in the material progress of this
Archipelago. The Legislative Assembly of
1850 was periodically liberal in this respect
supplying far more for roads than Minis
tiers of the Crown estimated but liberal
appropriation has not been met by wise
administration. The country has not much
to show for over 100000 for roads for the
present fiscal period. This journal will
advocate n system of civil engineering to
regulate the course and construction of
every road, viaduct, or other way of COM
munication and it will advocate the en-
enlargement of lines of steamships to
supply ocean highways for the Archipelago
to all parts of the world.
g.. All parties recognize the incalculable
Importance of an ocean cable binding us to
the Continents; and Of interisland cables
to bind together the Archipelago. The
former will render imperative the joint
guarantee of our perpetual neutrality, and
the latter is a measure of paramount
domestic policy. The Hawaiian Legisla-

behalf of an ocean cable. 1t must do more,
and pledge to a an interest in an enter
prise of such immense influence On the
welfare of the country.
Z. To provide for the health of the people
by thorough sanitary reform. Though
mentioned last, this is one of the prime
articles in the creed OF. the PACIFIC Com
MERCIAL ADVERTISER. The government
of his country has been carried on
couformable with the best political lights
Of the age, and is sustained by a high
Christian civilization yet the people
pass away and decline. This journal does
not recognize any Providential decree in
the result but rather mans mistake Of
policy and administration. Brown races,
cognate with the Hawaiian, increase and
multiply within the bounds of the same
great ocean. Then why shall not the
Hawaiians increase ? They aOiU under an
administration of government recognizing
race characteristics, and providing a tho
rough sanitary administration. What has
| sanitary administration in this King
dom been for past years more than q
routine of job and expenditure in the city
of Honolulu? There is a little population
in the Kingdom of about forty-five thou.

and, to provide means of caring for public
health, a patriotic Assembly appropriated

devoted President of n Board of Health

sanitary well-being of every family and
domicile in the kingdom. 1t Is true, a great
exigency arose-an epidemic afflicted the
country which called for extraordinary
effort and expenditure, which engrossed al
the attention of the President of the Board
of Health. But in this instance he did not
need e be so much engrossed-Only thai
he coveted q monopoly of responsibilities:
which he could not adequately fulfil.
