We are certainly of opinion that in the
event of further Importation of Chinese
labor being deemed advisable that there would
be distinct advantage to us in getting men
shipped under the supervision of the author-
ties at Hongkong rather than as hitherto,
from Canton where the extremely unsatisfac-
tory action of the Chinese Government officials
is all that we have to look to. 1t is scarcely
probable that smallpox or other contagious
disease could be concealed at Hongkong as il
has been in Canton, and had our emigrants
come from the former instead of the latter port

By the Hongkong Doiiy Press we note Il
debate in the Chamber of Commerce OF that
colony on the subject of emigration to Homo
lulu Mr.. Ho Amei proposed that repre-
sentaton be made to His Elk. the Governor,
asking that the restrictions on emigrations to
Honolulu may be done away with. He admit
ted that abuses had arisen with regard to elni-
grants for Cuba where they were badly
treated, but could not see why emigration to
Honolulu under the eyes of the Chinese Gov
ernment should be stopped. He argued that
" contract emigration in some form or other
was nearly universal and should not he con
sidered improper that the said restrictions
were only imposed in consequences of an
anonymous letter addressed to the Tung Wah
Hospital which he considered an insufficient
foundation on which to stop the emigration,
and concluded by remarkihg" Il don't see why
emigrants should not go to Honolulu, or any
other place so long as we know they are not
badly treated Mr.. Sharp seconded the propo-
sition: he believed that improprieties had
occurred in connection with the Macao emf

should DO closed agains' emigrant ship, pro-
vided that they proceed to ports where the
emigIants are well treated as he had every
reason to believe they are at the Sandwich

with the mover of the proposition, and pro-
ceeded to say "The King of the Hawaiian
Islands is at the present time on his way to

The Star of Beth lehem.
Prof. c, A Grimmer of Kinstor

Prof. c, A Grimmer of KinstOn Jamaica, who is a scientist of fame, recently made some wOnd. erful prophecies in connection with the action of the planets and other heavenly bodies. He says " In 1887 the "!Star of Bethclehem will once more be seen in Casse- uphia's Chair" and it will be ac. companied ny a total eclipse of the sun and moon. The star O. |, ly makes its appearance once in 315 years. It will appear and iI- illuminate the heavens and exceed in brilliancy even Jupiter which in opposition to the sun, and therefore nearer to the earth and hrights. The marvellous brilliancy of the Star of Bethlehem will surpass any of it's previous visila' tions in 1887. It will be seen by monday, shining with a quick, flashing light the entire year, af- ter which it will gradually de- crease in brightness and finally disappear, not 10 return 70 our heavens till 22O2, or 3l5 years afl 1887.

Our local item in last weeks issue. relativeio the Prison C prnmissioners hold ing ov r on account of the failure of the Democr 4tic Council to confirm the Gov ernor's appointees, we find was entirely in error Such would have been tue result had the Governor not reappOinted and commissioned after the adjournment of the Legislature which leaves it for the next session uf the Legislative council to confirm or reject as they may. It is a notorious fact and matter of record that the policy and course persued by the council toward the Governors nomina- tions to all Territorial offices was most disgraceful and to say the least undigni fled and unstates msnIike. The new con- missioners arc Wm. NJ. Buffum, John Haynes and J. F. Knapp. They will hold a meeting in Yuma on Monday, the fourth instant. and we venture to predict there will be but few changes made in the officials of the prison. We have no reason to anticipate any as the present officials arc good ones.
