NEW YORK, January 3d.-The Herald says edi-
torially: The telegraph brings.us from San Fran
cisco, at somewhat too frequent intervals of late,
accounts of the splendors of the coming corona
ton of King kalakaua. We are surprised that
American and other foreign residents of the ISL
ands have not long ago tired OF these absurdities
and extravaganza of this ridiculous King. Those
island rulers who were of pure native blood. re-
tanned the character of the chiefs of their people,
and this rule was not without dignity and for a
useful purpose. kalakaua inherits direct from his
father tendency to extravaganza, the pomp and
fuss of which makes him not ruler but a tiresome
and costly nuisance. We advise American resi-
dents on the islands to take him in hand before
he has time to ruin the material interests and
bring distress on the native population whom he
is msusing like the shallow demagogue that he is.
The resources of the Sandwich Islands are ex-
tremely limited, and kalakaua is daily wasting
them. Not long ago he tried to raise public loan
of SOO0OOO. Fortunately for the interests of for
eign residents and natives alike, he found no one
so foolish to lend this sum upon the security OF
country which will be bankrupt If the reciprocity
a quarter of million Is more than il can repay
out of its income in hundred years without OPP
pressive taxation.
wAsTEFuISEss SHOULD BE STOPPED.
1t is time foreign residents of the islands, and
particularly Americans who make up the greater
number, should put an end TO kalakaua's waste
fulness. They have influence and force enough to
change whenever they want to do so. They may
think it niudicious to go SO far as that, but they
owe it to their own manhood and to the security

him to stop his wasteful and ridiculous course,
and If he will play at King to do with some sort
of sense and moderation Matters have gone SO
far on the islands within the last year or two that
they have attracted the attention of our own Gov
eminent. We should like to know that powerful
American war ship ordered to be constantly
in the harLor of Honolulu for the protection of
our own people on the islands, and not only for
that the Captain of the ship ought to have orders
to give his counenance and assistance to any STEP
which the misconduct of kalakaua may cause the
foreign residents to take at any moment for their
own protection, even if they should 90 far to
expel halakaua from the so-called palace, and SET
up useful, sensible government of their own
They will have to do this before long and there
are Americans of brains and energy enough in the
islands to do this useful and necessary work
which is demanded for the safety of the native as
well as of the foreign population.
