The Alta SAYS: The English are beginning to
realize the fact that they are going ahead too fast
in the steamboat business. The results show that
in long voyage trades the sailing ship not only
holds its own against the steamer, but pays a good
profit. The removal of sailing vessels from the
ocean trade is not therefore so near as steam
ship enthusiasts predicted. An era of large ton
mage iron sailing ships is now to be expected
THE United States revenue cruiser Corwin arrived
at Sitka on the 18th October. from an extended
cruise in Northern waters. On the 10th August
she spoke the whaling banks George and Susan,
Francis Palmer, Abraham Barker, Sea Breeze, and
brig Hidalgo, all nearly empty. On the 18th she
spoke barks Coral, John Rowland, Helen Mars,
Bounding BilIow, and Fleetwing, all of which
vessels had met with very poor success. The Cor
win cruised $4,000 miles. The season had been an
open one, and very mild.
A certain editor, who by education and early ex-
perience should be a staunch monarchist, has be-
come, through appeals to his present interests, an
annexationist. He went lately to a neighboring
island to pay a visit to a hotbed of annexatiOnists
He has been led to think that the blather of one or
two men that have a little money (acqnired ac-
cording to common report in a doubtful wayJ and
who reign supreme in their little district where
they may be capable of dragooning public opinion,
that it may be able to Dragon the opinion of the
whole country. The poor man is utterly mistaken
in this after all, the strength of this Kingdom and
of its Government must rest with the King and
the people, recognized by the Powers of the earth
and no amount of agitation of a few mOney-seekers
in this country will affect the position of this
Kingdom.
We have pleasure in giving publicity to the fol
lowing which is from a private letter received here
from a gentleman now resident in America mar
eminent in the confidence of the people of this
country, and of those of the one in which he now
resides. Speaking of the coronation he says -
should be most happy to attend this most interest
ing ceremony, and to join with the people i'll theil
loyal greetings. L certainly would, if it were IL
my power, visit the Islands to Witness the corona
ton of their Majesties,. who are so devoted to the
prosperity of their people. 1t will he a gala da!
worth witnessing to see u whole people welcoming
their Sovereign to the Crown with entire confidence
that the Government will be administered witt
honor aud for their best interests. May God Ions
preserve their Najesties and bless them with
prosperous Government and happy people"

Our Foreign Correspond ence.
PARIS, October ).


A very few journals. or rather writers
therein, continue to make Il speciality OF re-
claiming for France, 10y right of treaty, the
Joint government of Egypt wi II England.
But public opinion does not follow these
casuists. / nave conversed with very many
Frenchmen on the Egyptian question who
have the Nile on the brain, but L could
never get them to distinctly formulate in
what French interests in the land of Pha-
raoh differed from those of Italy, Greece,
etc. Frenchmen cannot see-they being
dazed at England's dasiing success-that in
declining to uphold the authority of the
Khedive they have forfeited their rights to
any special privileges he conferred on them
for the administration OF his Kingdom,
either Jointly or singly.
There is not n cool-headed locker Oh but
unhesitatingly AYERS that if England con-
sents to n repatching of the Joint control
with France, the splendid innings Sir Gar
net has scored for her will be lost, and the
opportunity will never again present itself
for controlling her Boulevard of India. 1t
is only under the tutelage of England that
Egypt can become an Egypt for the Egyp-
tians. Had England had the calamity to
have worked India on the joint control
principle with France, where would have
been the splendid Empire of British India
now? The nation that has redressed the
native wrongs of India, and made It's
crooked paths straight, has still the ability
to make five millions of fellahepn great,
glorious and free. If France Were able to
point to any success on her part in colonial
tion she might lay claim to some coign OF
vantage; but she has signally failed to de-
velop her own colonies, which is not Il GER
tificate in her favo. to handle the destinles
of other peoples. France is now in q high
fever to obtain colonial possessions, though
she has no emigran's to send to them but
that is MOI exactly the same thing as work
ing them. She is going in for the territory
of the Heather Chinee;'' she wants NADIA
gascar; she intends disputing the Congo
with Belgium; but progress in Algeria hangs
fire, and Tunisia is anything but "A model OF
organization.
To control the Egyptian exchequer along
with England is not all that is required IN
Egypt there are institutions to be devGl-
oped about which France remains In the
most blissful state of ignorance; her clvllIZ,
ing Mahommedans is hardly to be named
when the work in this sense achieved by
England is placed in the scales. a good
native army composed of Indian Mussui,
mans and differed by Englishmen; civil
service clerks to the manner born, directed
by English chefs; tribunals that VIII not
know two forms of justice; taxes levied with
unflinching fairness e~XtiFpation of saliva
ton Armies while according full religious
liberty to all-such is the kind OF work Gu

IT is amusing to us, and it must be an
moving to the sensible patrons of the
Gazette, to read its long-winded attack on
the Premier's reply to the Planters Com
mittee address to the King. 1t clearly
proves the commonly expressed opinion,
that the " Astute Minister" as thep planting
organ calls him, completely check-mated
the squad of politicians, who misrepresent
the true objects ola great industry. We think
that sensible and truly influential planters
have had enough of the political tinkering
gotten up by a band of confederates, who
use this Gazette bungler. He trims be-
tween he American Democracy and Re
p~ublicanism, and he will discredit the
American spirit and American enterprise
of this Archipelago.

cessions and banners. a band of music and
a feast for all corners. Nevertheless all this
ended in an ignominious failure. Another
gentleman tried his best in the same way
and at considerable expense at Hanalei,
Kauai, and had with him the influence of
several hdoLes who are held i'll much respect
by the local native population. He met
with no better fate. Now it may be very
annoying to these gentlemen and TO those
who ~sympathiZe with them to find that
money cannot do everything and to see
others succeed without it's aid where they
are defeated. They will perhaps acquire a
calmer frame of mind if they turn their eyes
from the narrow arena of local politics for a
while and look around and seriously ask
themselves the question, "Wil the intelll-
gent republieanism of the world sympathiZe
with their idea that money should have
its representation in Parliament" Is the
world to be represented by cash ? What does
that great American people which we are
always told to cop and to follow say on
this subject? When a millionaire Stewart
was nominated as Secretary of the Treasury
what an cutlery did orr republican neigh
bors raise that they did not want a moneyed
man i'm that post simply because he was q
millionaire, and how promptly was the rati-
fication of the nomination refused No
doubt II legal point, a statute disused and
almost forgotten, was raked up to nullify
the appointment. But this would hardly
have been thought of but for the fact that n
mans money had caused him TO be selected
for an important official position. 1t was
not the law which bore SO much against
him "a his wealth, which was obnoxious to
the republican spirit of independence. Still
more striking perhaps was a recent instance
in New York State, when Aston, the grand
son of the millionaire, Jacob Aston, and
himself a millionaire, was signally defeated
when he aspired to Legislative or Congress
sional honors. This defeat he owed in large
measure simply to the prejudice excited by
his superintendent wealth.
We may well conclude our remarks OH
this subject with this pointed query, Must
we now see the King of this Constitutions
Government told by so-called representative
! Americans that the mOneyed classes here
Unjust and shall" be represented i'm the

Watering Plsnts in Pots.

Some people attempt TO keep pot-plants
without giving them any water at all;
the result is familiar to every one.
Usual Y, however, the garth in the pot
or LoN is kept soaked and very much in
the condition of an ordinary swamp. 1t
is even said that malaria has resulted
from living in rooms containing house
plants, owing to the damp soil. We have
ourselves seen dead evergreens pulled
out of boxes full of mud. Neuste Err
indung gives utterance to the followin
timely remarks:
Watering plants is one of the most
important things in the culture of house
plants, and very special care should be
devoted to it. Plants ought not to be
wet until tehy need it. 1t will be evil
dent that they require wetting if on
taking the earth from the pot it crum-
bles to pieces like dust; II sure sign is to
knock On the side of the pot, neal the
middle with the finger knuckle. If it
gives forth a hollow ring the plant needs
water; if there is IA dull sound, there is
still moisture enough to sustain the
plant. Plants must not be wet more
than once or twice Il day on dry, clear
days they require more water than on
cloudy days. On the other hand. the
earth must not be allowed to dry out en-
tirely, for that is also very injurious. In
wetting them the water must be poured
on in such "a way that it will run out
again through the hole in the bottom of
the pot. If the earth gets too dry it is
best to place the pot in water, so that
the water will saturate the dirt very
gradually. They may be watered at any
noun of the day, except when the sun is
shining on the pot or has just left it; for
the earth gets hot when the sun shines

THE decision in the water case, which
we publish in to-day's issue, is deserving of
careful perusal 10y every householder in
Honolulu. The judgment of the Chief
Justice is a clear exposition of the law and
of common right under the circumstances (;
and although he sustains the action of the
authorities in this instance, it appears to
be mainly in ~nsequen of II somewhat
deter mined disregard of public interests on
the part of the petitioner. Every man is
entitled to, and must be protected in OBJ
tanning his moneys worth for any pur-
chased privilege, or concession, in common
with others; but he should not strive for
more than an equal right, or privilege.
When he exceeds the bounds o a common
privilege, he becomes a trespasser on public
rights.
