LAST WEEK we had occasion to speak
editorially of a crime committed by a
Chinaman and to make some comments
upon 1t; at the time our article was writ
ten there did not seem much chance of the
man who was shot dying; our remarks
would have been very much stronger had
we known what the end of the case was to
be. Crimes of violence, alas, have multi
piled upon US since those remarks were
written As we went to press on Wednes-
day morning, came thereport that another
Chinaman had made a murderous attack
with an axe upon fellow countryman ;
happily the man is up to the present doing
well, but the intention to kill was certainly
in the mind of the man who did the chop
ping and on Sunday morning we were
startled to hear that a native had been
shot and seriously wounded by young
white man half an inch more and the man
would have been killed A stop must be
put to this kind of thing; as we pointed
out last week the law upon the carrying of
deadly weapons is distinct enough and it
ought to be enforced. a few convictions
for carrying deadly weapons would have a
very wholesome effect, and we feel sure
that it would not be very difficult to obtain
them. 1t is useless to have law unless it
is put in force. Law, in this country is
our sheet anchor we are small, insignif-
can't in ali matters of foreign policy
absolutely poweriess, but by properly ad
ministering our law within, we can com
mand the respect, the confidence and the
support of the great world without. We
are proud to say it, and every Hawaiian
must feel proud, that the law courts of
this kingdom are as pure and as impartial
as it is possible for courts presided over by
poor erring mortals can be. Every true
lover of the Hawaiian race should there
fore support the law as much as lies in his
power; it is the proper administration of
justice in our courts that wins us the
countenance and the appreciation of sur
rounding nations. Upon how much better
footing stands our little nation with the
great powers of the Eastern and the West
ern continents than do such countries as
Japan and the Mahommedan States bor-
dering on the Mediterranean. Why so ?
Because in our law courts justice is i'm
partially and fearlessly administered. We
hope to see the law, then, strictly carried
out in the cases which are coming before
the courts, and the penalties rigidly en-
forced once a disregard OF law and order
gets the upper hand and we viii find our
selves almost unable to cope with it. A
little wholesome severity ought to nip the
matter in the bud.

The designations Of Senators Conkiing
and Platt from the United States Senate
continue to be the principal topic for pub
lie discussion in American newspapers.
If the object of those gentlemen was to
create sensation, they have succeeded. 1t
is hardly to be supposed, however, that
they were actuated merely by taste for
theatricals. No doubt they expected to
be reelected and to retake their seats in
the Senate, claiming that the State of New
York had endorsed their opposition to
President Garfield The controversy was
nominally about Robertson's appointment
to the New York Custom House, these
Senators claiming that they were entitled
to nominate the appointee, and the Presi
dent claiming that he was authorized and
required by law to nominate, subject to
confirmation by the Senate 1t is hoped
by the Civil Service Reform party that
Conkling may be thoroughly defeated in
this matter. The latest news from the
New York Legislature is that after con-
siderable voting, no choice had been made,
and that they had adjourned over to the
7th instant. 1t is certain that Conkling
can bere-elected only by the aid of demo
cratic votes. The democrats may not be
to exercise their power so far as
TO prevent any election. The situation is
not assuring, but if wise counsels prevail,
the great State Of New York viii not go
long unrepresented in the Senate of the
nation We think that the resignation of
any Senator under such circumstances is |
uncalled for and should be rebuked by
refusal to re-elect. While however Conk- |
ling's defeat would be gain for the Re
formers in regard to Presidential rather |
than senatorial appointments, it would not |
be an endorsement of the Presidents course
in removing Merritt, the present Collector, |
to make room for Robertson. The change
is believed to have been made merely for
political reasons.

with bad language, gambling, fraud, and
almost every sin in the decalogue, and we
fear much of the count is true, though not
quite so bad as some would have it. Still,
it ought not to be. We ourselves have
always been fond Of the sport, and should
be sorry to see the June meeting dropped
or go out of favor; but something ought
to be done to improve the style of it, and
we hope that something may be done next
year, otherwise it Will infallibly lose caste.

The Ad0ertiser, with that lawyer-like
ability for which we praised it last week,
says we gave no authority for our state
ment about Father Larldn and Bishop
Maigret's letter; far from this we reprinted
a portion Of the Adratiser's own article
which admitted all we had stated and we
gave as our authority Bishop Maigret
We do not give and do not intend to give
in our columns the names of the other
gentlemen upon whose authority we wrote /:
when we first wrote we stated upon what
conditions we would produce them. Every
thinking man knows there was only one
course by which to meet what we said I:
that course has not been taken, and our
statement remains unshaken. The counter
articles in the A6sertissr amount to nothing,
it is only playing a game of you did, you
didn't, you did, you didn't, week in and
week out.

they think they can make a point against
the powers that be. Some such choice
society the willy Don has cultivated, and
if Mr.. Schaefer's action ever is discussed
in the Chamber, which we doubt very
much, knowing that the Italian Govern
ment long ago endorsed that action, and
further. that they are thoroughly &C
ouainted with Moreno, it will be brought
up by some person belonging to the class
we have alluded to above. He viii make
little practical point in Italy by bringing
this matter up, and Mr. Schaefer's char
acter stands too high to be affected by the
attacks made on him; but it is pretty easy
to see what the Don is after, and in that
we hope sincerely he may be foiled too, in
fact, we have little doubt upon the point

The Australian Colonies and New Zealand have
had numbering of the people, and all seem to
have been progressing fayorably except Victoria,
as the following moan from the Hamilton Vic
tofia) Spectator shows; "The census is enough to
take all the blow out of the Victorian people,
and if Anthony Trollope came this way again just
now, he would certainly have the laugh at us.
Seventy thousand people lost, stolen, or strayed,
and the balance of our inhabitants living for years
in a fools paradise and fondly believing the
colony was going ahead If we had had the civil
war Mr. Berry once spoke of as the only panacea
for land monopoly, and if one man in every ten
had been shot down, the numerical effect would
have been no worse. In barbarous times decima-
tion was prescribed as a punishment for grave
ofenses against the State but our population have
been guilty of no ofensc and still they have been
all but decimated. We have known all along that
the land was not holding its population, and have
loudly proclaimed the fact that there was a big
exodus over the border, but the radical papers
would not believe it, and indulged in anticipations
that the census would show a population of at
least million. How they used to swear by Hay
ter TO be surel We were a lightly-taxed people,
because Hayter said the amount we contributed
per head was e1 Los. 43<d., which was only trife
more than the taxation In New South Wales We
must now add four shlllings per head to the figure
relating to the taxation in Victoria Our national
debt was n mere Hea-bite, because it was only
el9 rs. 1s<d per head that of New South Wales
being ZIG los. l119d. per head 1t turns out that
our real debt is over e21 per head, according to
the census And SO on. One of the most i'm
portant of the lessons of the is that it has
taught US the necessity of getting up an agitation
for the bursting up of the metropolis. Hitherto
the CRY has been that it only the country resi-
dents that required bursting up, but now the boot
is on the other leg"

A LIBEL in admiralty against the Chinese steamss
ship Mel Foo was filed by the Acknowledgement ad
interim yesterday, claiming S5,1l9 80 for expenses
incurred by the Board of Health on account of the
smallpox cases brought here ON the former ar
rival of that vessel. A bond of Sing Chong & Co.,
agents Of the steamship, was then taken by the
Government in the sum of 5000 as condition of
releasing her from custody. The payment of the
above-named sum was demanded of the agents on
their bond, but was refused by them on the ground
that they had fully paid and satisfied the claims
against them, having paid out (as they say) over
$4,000 by the request of the President of the
Board of Health. 4 suit in the Supreme Court
for the same amount is also pending for the July
term. The counsel for the ship appeared be-
fore Judge McCully yesterday afternoon and
asked that the ship be released on filing bond TO
be approved by the Court, offering, if necessary,
to give Bishop d Co.'S guaranty of the sufficiency
of the bondsmen. The Court declined to order
the release of the vessel, as the Government in
sisted upon her detention, and the case stands un-
til II o'clock to-day, when the process was made
returnable. Preston for the libel; Hartwell for
the ship.

ONE of our cotemporaries, we notice, is
advocating a line of independent steamers
to run between this port and San Fran
cisco. The idea is a good one, for Ger
tainly the Pacific Mail boats have treated
US very cavalierly, though that is not to be
wondered at, seeing we have no contract
with them. As long, however, as the P.
NJ. steamers are on this route, we doubt
very much whether small steamers would
answer. From their size and the number
of passengers that they carry the Pacific
Mail vessels would always command
major portion of the passenger traffic from
this port. The only chance of success in
competition with them would be to put on
vessels of the size say, of the old Cay Of
Melbourne, which used to run between San
Francisco and the Colonies some years
ago; such a vessel would have to be
thoroughly well fitted, her machinery
would require to be excellent, so that she
would not be crawling along on anytwelve
day trips, her table would have to be well
kept. A vessel of this class might possibly
attract passengers and yet not be too large
trade, but then comes the question for the
would itpay and upon that we think there
is room for considerable discussion and for
a show of figures. There are services, how
ever, which it is to the advantage of
country to keep up at loss, and if we are
to be treated by the P. NJ steamer in the
manner that we have been, perhaps in
directly 1t 'ciN pay to have a line of
steamers of our own. Such line would
be great boon to correspondents. The
present system of receiving our mail usual
ly three weeks before we are able to reply
to it is certainly most inconvenient.

WEDNESDAY, JUNE Is, 1881.

WE hail with great satisfaction the re
port of the smallpox for the past week +:
only five cases and no deaths. One of
these cases broke out in Kapalama and
had been hidden away for some days, and
this of course may prove another nu
cleus Of disease, but as soon as it was
discovered prompt measures were taken to
prevent, as far as possible, any chance Of
the people connected with the boy spread
ing the disease, SO that we will hope no
mischief has been done. So salts
factory is the present condition of affairs
that we may look to an early raising of the
tabu upon island traffic; what blessing
this will be. Nothing has caused more
unpleasantness all round than this tabu,
and when once the authorities feel them
selves in a position to raise 1t, very fertile
source of friction will have been removed.

A LETTER appeared in the Gdsdta
dItalia, of a recent date, containing a
most abusive article against Mr.. Schaefer,
evidently from the pen of, or inspired by.
our well-beloved Don Mr.. Schaefer is
charged with selling "wines, liquor, beer,
and opium under the shadow of the italian
flag" and also with saying that no honest
Italian emigrates. only "brigands, ad
venturers, beggars, and organ-grinders.'
OF course Mr. Schaefer never made any
such remark; but had the acquaintance of
the Don been his only connection with
Italians, We do not think he would have
been far wrong if he had made it. OF
course in this community such an attack
upon Mr.. Schaefer makes no impression,
but we must remember that abroad. where
no one is at hand to refute the statements,
where Mr.. Schaefer is personally un-
known, where people have had no chance,
as we have, of learning his worth and his
integrity, of knowing how utterly ground
less such statements are, the article may
be believed Moreno has managed to get
some political influence in Italy. In poll
tics there are always both fools and
lnaves, as well as a small sprinkling of
honest men There are always some dis
contented spirits who are willing to take
up any scheme, however shady, BY which

We publish in another column letter from the
Kings party. We clip the following notice of the
arrival of the Royal party from the Celestial
Empire:''
"The intimation of the anticipated visit of His
Majesty kalakaua, the King of the Sandwich
Islands was conveyed to US some days ago. On
Thursday evening, the Toxic MarK with His
Majesty on board, arrived at Woosung, and Mr..
ID. G. Jansen, former resident of Honolulu, lost
time in going to Woosung to invite the royal
guest to take up his quarters at the Astor House.
He succeeded in his object and the King came up
10 Shanghai in tug boat late on Thursday night
Between IL and Il o'clock on Friday, His Majesty
received number of visitors, including the Itali-
an Minister and the members of the Consular
Body, Rear-Admiral Clitz and some of his staff
the Commanders of the Russian and French war
vessels in port Messrs G. A. Butler, Chun-Fai-
Ting Chu- Yu-Chee. and Cheong- -Hoong-Lo of the
China Merchants Steam Navigation Company, the
Taotai of Shanghai and others. His Majesty is
described as affable, and a stranger visiting him
is put at his ease by the courteous manner in
which the visitor is received"
His Majesty still continues to travel fast, and
may soon be expected to reach Europe. By private
letter from San Francisco we learn that tels-
gram was received in that city, stating that the
King and suite had reached Calcutta, " all we'll"
By next mail we may hope to have details of the
reception in Siam and India.

MEDICAL friend of ours in Kauai wrote Us
few weeks ago mentioning that the Chinese on
that island and he understood upon the other
islands also, suffer from peculiar disease, which
paralyzes the limbs completely and which nearly
always ends in death. None of our physicians
seem to know what is the disease or what are its
causes. We understand that one gentleman has
treated it with considerable success we should be
glad to hear from hlm and also from any other
medical gentleman who takes any interest in the
subject. Our correspondent said he thought that
the disease was probably the same which has been
spoken of by the papers on the Coast and which
is said 70 have been peculiarly fatal in Oregon.
