Let us assure you, as i do confidently
that your electoral ticket, headed by Came

OF $4,000; that it will beat either the

The vote at the polls ten days afterwards
stood in round numbers: Democratic
$4,000, Republicans $4,000, and "yoUr

$1,000.
The same General MALONE, in his re-

message was received from the President with
drawing the New York nominations for United
States Marshals and District Attorneys. The
nomination of Judge Robertson for Collector
OF Customs was not withdrawn.
ST. LOUIS, May 6.-The area of farming
lands subject to indndation by the break in the
dyke to-day IS from 5000 to 10, 900 acres, and if
the water Is high enough to overflow a wagon
road built upon an embankment running from
Venice to Edwardsville it will submerge about
as much more land.
WASHINGTON, April 27.-Welsh, plaintiff in
the case of Welsh VS.. MERIT, tried in New York,
relative to the artificial colOring of sugar, and
others asked the Secretary of the Treasury to
give the importers a hearing before a decision is
made, as 10 whether a y writ of error will be taken
IN order to have the question at issue reviewed by
the Supreme Court. The Secretary replied that
he had already decided TO have a writ of error
sued out and a hearing is therefore unnecessary.
The Secretary also gave notice that the existing
orders of the Department upon the subject will
remain in force until the dicision Of the Supreme
Court is made known.
Treasury officials say that if the rulings at
New York are sustained (and they are in direct
conflict with those of the Judge in the Perot
case, B%altimore) all centrifugal sugars, however
pure, if colOred dark, will be admitted as of the
lowest class and pay the lowest rate of duty.
Sugars that pay AZ cents duty would be rated at
less than 2H and although manifestly disguised
in color, and of the very highest guilty, customs
officers will be compelled to admit them at the
rate charged upon the very lowest sugars known
TO the market. The amount involved in these
questions Is said TO be more than a million dollars.

Judges Vacations in San Francisco and
Elsewhere.

NEW YORK, May 3.-The Sun says: Both the
press aud the bar of San Francisco express in
dignatiOn nj the intention of the Judges of the
higher Courts Of that city to take two months
vacation during the summer. In view of the
practice IN other States, and particularly those
Of the Atlantic Coast, this protest Is somewhat
Of an innovation. In this city, where Judges
are paid four times as much for their services as
those Of San Francisco, the summer vacation
lasts from the latter part of June TO the first
Monday in October. Besides this, part, or the
whole Of one week in every month, is practi-
cally a vacation time with the Judiciary, and
they never sit on Saturday, with the exception
Of one Judge in each Court for two or three
hours, TO make orders and listen to other minor
applications. The press and bar of San Fran
cisco ought to look eastward to see how Judges
do IN other cities, and they Will come to the con-
clusion that they have comparatively little cause
for complaint.
land if they should look westward to the Ha-
waiian Islands, they would derive still greater
consolation from the fact that here a Supreme
Judge can take a furlough of eight months, and
draw his salary at the rate of $500 a month all
the same. No, don't complain. Your San
Francisco Judges, with a two months holiday,
are hard-worked, compared with our Hawaiian
Judges.-ED. p. C, A.

EAST Maui,

May 18th, 1881.
We have had a little excitement here lately,
consequent upon a report that reached US last
week of two cases of smallpox ut Ulupalakua.
With a lively remembrance OF the devastation
that the disease wrought in this locality some
years ago, the residents adopted energetic
measures at once. A guard was placed on the
road towards Kaupo, and all travel was stopped.
Some few people on their way back to Kipahula,
went into quarantine in a house in the valley
occupied by the guard, and like action was
taken by the people at Hama, to guard the road
towards the Hamakaua District. After n weeks
detention we learned definitely that there had
not been any cases of smallpox at Ulupalakua,
and so the guards were withdrawn.
The people in this district in meetings held to
consider the subject, resolved to take every
precaution to keep themselves clear of the dis
ease, and seemed to be very much in earnest,
the more so as they know they are a long way
from any possible medical help.
DR.. STANDARD was over here a short time ago,
and vaccinated all whom he could find, so that
the disease would have that precaution to make
head against.
The shock of earthquake reported as felt in
Hilo on Thursday April 21st, was felt here quite
plainly at 2.20 P. N. c.
The Pacific commercial advertiser. [volume] (Honolulu, Hawaiian Islands) 1856-1888, 1881-05-21
To the Eltor Of The Pacific Commercial Aduertise,

The steamers of the Pacific Mail Company are,
and have been, so uncertain in their arrival,
that 1 think the time has arrived for the specu-
lative men of these islands to put on a
steamer between here and the Coast, and thus
be Independent of the p NJ .Company and its boats.
A steamer could be built for the trade, and run
as economically as any other enterprise here, by
private parties, Notwithstanding the fabulous cost
of building and maintaining Il steamer, as put
forth i'll numerous letters which appeared Ia
the Gazette last year, and which were written by
n paid servant of the z. NJ. Co., sent here
specially to secure the subsidy and intimidate
those moneyed men who conceived the idea of
building a steamer. 1t is well known fact that
these boats do not call here for the benefit or
convenience of the Honolulu public.
1t is not forgotten by old residents that before
steamers called here, the public were far better
off for news, and received it as well as their
correspondence, oftener and much more regularly
than they have since steamers called at this port.
Before these vessels touched at Honolulu a large
feet of sailing vessels were plying between here
and the Coast. These ships were the means of
circulating considerable sums of money here
refitting, repairing, provisioning and other ex-
penses, besides a very large sum that went into
the Government Golfers for dues, etc. But what
benefit are the p. NJ. boats to Honolulu ? None
whatever Their arrival is always so uncertain
that no one can depend on them; they come and
go when they please, and the public as well as
the Government do not receive one cent benefit
from them the only money left by them is the
pilots fee, and no doubt that trife they would
avoid if they could.
1t is rumored that Claus Spreckels intends
putting fifteen vessels on the line between here
and San Francisco, and if so a vessel should
arrive from the Coast about every fourth day.
This matter, 1 trust, will not be overlooked by
the members. at the next Legislature, when it is
to be hoped that the subsidy Isl, 900 per month)
now paid to the p. NJ. Co., will be discontinued,
and the money used for purposes that will bene-
fit the public as well as the Government in
communication with the Coast that can be relied
upon. Yours Truly,
MAINToP.
lOur correspondent is no doubt correct, when
he says that "these boats do not call here for
the benefit of the Honolulu public but it won't
do to say that they are "no benefit to Honolulu,
none whatever" We want rapid transit, as
well as frequency of mails.-ED. P. G.. AL

The Nutritious Qualities of Rice.

1t will surprise many to learn that rice has
a nutritious percentage OF SO, while beef has but
70, still civilized mankind will adhere to the latter
with the idea that it has the most nourishment.
The difference between u pound of rice and a
pound OF beef is very marked, the former being
IOO per cent, cheaper, and 100 per cent, more
valuable to the common labCrer than the beef
diet. There is a lesson of tremendous importance
in this fact which should not be overlooked by
the laboring classes.
