IT. What probably strikes one most forcl-
blv in gIancipp over the code, is the pro
vision made for self-government IN the
districts. a variety of offices connected
with local administration. which here are
a matter of patronage, are there thrown
omen TO vote: the Judge, the tax-assessors,
tbe chief of police. in fact the whole local
machinery of government is voted for by
tho voters of the district There is some
advantage about this: it teaches men to
think that it is their duty TO put IN good
men. who viii properly manage their
affairs; that with themselves rests the
responsibility of having local matters Wen
conducted. There is less cause then for
grumbling at appointments, less Iiken-
hood Of getting inefficient men IN. More
over. it interests young and old in affairs;
it serves as a school for instructing men
how to vote when they have to deal with
larger issues. Some such organization
would have been of value here, and would
have helped great deal in teaching our
people their political duties.
Another point worth mentioning Is the
school question. Each district is to sup
port school, at which only writing, read
ing. and arithmetic are to be taught, but
the children are to have instruction IN
manual labor. Besides the four district
schools. there are to be two superior
schools at Rikitea, the principal island;
one for boys, the other for girls: but here
again more weight is given to educating
the children for the practical work OF HE,
than to the mere cultivation of the mind.
The bows are to be instructed in agricul-
ture, fishing, carpeutering, blacksmithlng,
and. in general, everything that has to do
with the production of articles useful for
the house or the construction of boats. "
The girls are to be taught household
duties, making of clothes, cooking, mend,
ing of nets, etc This is very practical
way of going to work with a population
such as that of Mangareva. Some such
plan was tried by our Board of Education
on Maui, but it fell through, and has not
since been tried afresh. This is the plan
which General Armstrong has followed
out at his noble institution at Hampton
and with him it has been an acknowledged
success. 0ur people need, and in many
cases are fit for, the higher cultivation
which our present course of studies pre-,
sents to them; but some provision should
also be made for establishing an institu.
ton where the cultivation IS not entirely
mental: where the boys and the girls shall
be taught to use their hands as well as
their brains Thus we may learn two les
sons from the code of Mangareva.

The serious and reiterated charges of
the existence of an inhuman system OF
slavery" ON these Islands, made by the
San Francisco Chronicle, cannot be ne
elected. They affect our good name and
reputation abroad, and are especially in
furious to us in the United States. These
constant attacks on US have by this time
been noticed by all the newspapers of the
States, where the people are now very
sensitive on the subject of slavery IN any
form. We are informed that the editor
of the CRroatole sent reporter TO Mr..
Armstrong while be was in San Francisco
and requested a statement from him on
the subject. He gave it, and stated ex-
plicitly that he had recently been in
Lisbon, and ascertained that the Portu-
guese here were writing to the island of
st. Michaels urging their friends to come.
His statement was not published, although
the interview was sought by the Chronicle.
Evidently the editor had read the charge
of " treason" against Mr. Armstrong, made
by the Adre,fiser, and he thought such an
enemy of the Hawaiian Kingdom would
affirm all that had been said about slavery.
There is, therefore, some motive in press
ing these charges. Is it intended that we
purchase silence? Or is it part of a
deeply-laid plan to educate the American
Congress up to the point of notifying us
that the Reciprocity Treaty must end? If
the religious press Of America believes
that we have adopted even the mildest
form of slavery, it will bear against us
most seriously 1t will become a great
lever in the hands of hostile politicians.
We understand that Colonel Spreckels,
on seeing that he was charged with being
engaged in this system of slavery, at once
threatened the Chroaicle with heavy libel
suit, and a retraction was made. Cannot
the law officer of this Government find
some way of vindicating the good name Of
these Islands. in the courts of the United
States. 1t is a libel on the good fame of
friendly and neighboring Power, and
the matter should be settled promptly and
finally

THERE is much in this country, small as
it is. to interest political thinkers. We
have here a country containing only few
tens of thousands of inhabitants, but we
have questions the solution of which is
occupying the minds of politicians who
have to watch over the interests, and at
times attempt to mould, the course of
countries whose populations can be
counted by millions Our politicians
have this advantage, that the 1Aainsprings
of the political machinery, the hidden
workings, which are so hard to get at
elsewhere, arc here comparatively easy OF
access: that the country being compact, it
is not difficult to arrive at the causes OF
events; in fact, that though on small
scale. important matters of political
economy can be often better studied here
than elsewhere. Now, there Is no more
complicated problem to solve than the
amalgamation of races, or rather we had
better say the juxtaposition of races,
situated as they are here.
Let us for moment review what it is
that we have. We have the native race,
which at the present moment represents
the voting power Of the nation. We have
the Chinese. with at the moment no voting
power practically, but who may at any
time ask for it, and who, having obtained
it, are not likely to use it in a way which
would either be for the advantage or to
the satisfaction of the Native or the Saxon.
The Chinese question, though an i'm
portant one as regards the Cinnamon
here, may be considered at an end with
regard to further large importations. We
have every reason 10 believe that that
chapter in our history is closed, or at all
events closed for the time. The introduc-
ton of Chinese in such numbers has been
very distasteful to the United States; to
continue importing large numbers OF them
would be merely to invite hostile policy
from that country, which would be in
imical, nay dangerous, to our commercial
interests for a time, and suicidal to our
nationality. Flying from the Chinese we
have had to seek refuge IN the Portu-
guese. a third element. From the islands
of the Atlantic, and from Portugal her
self, we may expect, during the next few
years, a population amounting to upwards
of ten thousand souls, which added to the
three thousand or so which are at present
amongst us, would make as important a
political factor as we have now in the
Chinese. The South Sea Islander we
need not count The peopling OF this
country with a cognate race IS dream
which has foated before many minds,
which on paper has appeared attractive,
but which In practice has proved abortlye.
It has quietly died, the last act In the

An appointment which Is likely to give
universal pleasure is that OF Benz. Hale
Austin to the post of Second Associate
Justice. Mr. Austin has not been long a
resident In our midst, but he has endeared
himself to large circle OF friends by his
kindliness Of heart, his never-failing
cheerfulness under circumstances which
would tend to sour many men of less
broad mind and mental activity, and by
his wide knowledge of men and affairs.
His legal attainments have brought hinl
in contact with a still larger circle of
people, and upon these, we have heard
but one opinion, professional and unpro-
fessional: they are excellent. MIR. Austln's
career has been unmarked by any brilliant
events, but it has been one of steady ad-
vancement in his profession. Though
himself not directly connected with the
Islands, nor with the development OF our
industries, Mr.. Austin's brothers have for
many years been engaged in agricultural
enterprise upon the island of Hawaii, so
that through them, we may almost regard
him as kamaaina.
1t may interest our readers to have a
slight outline of the life of the new
Associate Justice before he came to these
Islands Benz Hall Austin was born Jan.
10th, 1892, in Saratoga county, New York.
His ancestors had emigrated from Eng
land about the year 1870. His father was
a lawyer and practiced in the courts of
his State for period Of thirty years. Mr..
Austin received an academical education
and then entered the National Law School
at Poughkeepsie, from which place he
graduated in July, 1853. In May of the
same year he had already been admitted
to practice in Albany. He at once left for
Buffalo. where he commenced his pro
fessional career. Within short time he
was admitted to practice in the United
States District Court and the Circuit
Courts of New York and subsequently in
the Supreme Court of the United States.
In Buffalo he carried on his profession
until 1877, building up for himself very
extensive and lucrative practice; but, doing
what so many men do who have an active
mind and not too strong physique, work
ing too hard. burning the candle at both
ends. His health failed, and in 1877 Mr..
Austin paid visit to these Islands. Re
turning to Buffalo in a few months. he
continued in practice for two years
longer, till he was finally obliged to give
up and seek a more genial climate. In
May, 1880, he definitely settled here. Nc
better proof of the estimation he is held
in this community can be given than in
the unanimous satisfaction which has been
expressed at his elevation to his present
position. We earnestly wish him health

Az item which appeared in the San
Francisco MGrka Rerieto of October 10th is
well worth the consideration Of our mer-
chants and exporters here. 1t was, " The
So.rtA Carolina, for Panama, carried en-
route to Havre 1O1,040 lbs. Hawaiian
paddy"
This we believe to have been the first
export of Hawaiian rice to Europe. 1t
seems to us that, if it viii pay to ship Ha-
waiian rice from San Francisco by such
an expensive route as Panama is at pres
ent, it ought to pay TO ship 1t direct from
here; it also opens the prospect of a
profitable market for this product after
the canal is finished and we will be able to
ship through it. In nspite of what has been
said to the contrary, there will be great
change in the condition of Hawaii when
that canal is finished. 1t must bring US
into more direct intercourse with the rest
of the world; and ships coming through
the canal, should we have line of tele-
graph. must call here. 1t was only the
other day, that looking at recent track
chart. published by an experienced sea
man. we saw that the routes of vessels
sailing over the Pacific conyerged at the
Hawaiian Islands, just as the North and
South Atlantic routes converge Oft Cape
st. Rooue. All Hawaii nei has to do Is to
prepare herself to take advantage of her
fortune when the tide is at the full; and
that she must begin to do now.
