The Madras Case.

a contemporary makes some untruthful
statements about the Madras case. This
ca sc is still pending before the Court, an
appeal to the Court in banco having been
made and perfected, therefore we shall avoid
any expression of opinion such as our con-
temporary has meanly INDUCED in, but in
the meantime will give a few particulars
of the history of the affair in order to cor
rect his mis-statement.
He says at hardly can be credited but it
is a fact that up to the time of Mr.. Pres
tOn's resignation Primus" (Mr. Gibson, the
President of the Board of Healthy "blun-
dered along without consulting the legal
adviser of the Crown; that he the Presi-
dent of the Board of Health was ignorant
of the regulations of 1880 until it was
suggested to him to look them up" These
so-called regulations of 1880, or rather of
1868 republished in 1880, along with all
the past regulations of the Board of Health
were in a book constantly under the obser-
vation of the President of the Board, and
they were pointed out by the then Secre-
tary of the Board, Mr.. Hayselden, to the
late Acknowledgement Preston at an
early period during the stay of
the Madras in port, andthey were
not, as is stated, pointed out to
the Board by any outside party. The Pres
ident of the Board of Health frequently
consulted with the late Acknowledgement
in respect to the course to be pursued with
the Madras, and the action of the Board
was taken under his advice. The state
ment that "reams of dispatches were writ
ten hat wandered from the main point
at issue whether or not Messrs. t. H.
Davies & Co., should be recognized as the
agents of the Madras" is another misrepre-
sentation which the diplomatic cores
pondence in question will prove.

Ourselves.

From the present number of our daily is
sue our subscribers will miss the old cut that
has always appeared since 1856 when the
PACIFIC COMMERCIAL was
first started by Mr.. II. NJ. Whitney the
present POstmaster-Genera The vignette
was sketched by Mr.. Whitney himself from
the fOretOp of an American clipper ship then
lying in the outer anchorage, pilot McIn-
tyre being on board the ship at the time.
From this yignette picture of Honolulu
there nave probably been printed more i'm
pressions than from any other newspaper
heading in this Kingdom, the number
amounting to about three million papers is
sued during the past t~wenty-seven years.
At that time, 1856, Honolulu was as d e.
pendent on the whaling fleet for its bust
ness as it now is on the sugar industry. In
each fall and winter season a full list of the
North Pacific fleet Of whalers was is
sued in the ADVERTISER, there being as
many as three hundred whaleships that then
recruited each year at these islands.
At one time, there were no less than us YES
sells in the harbor of Honolulu, which will
give a better idea OF the busy whaling sea-
sons of 1850 to 1860. Thus it will be seen
how intimately Honolulu and the ADvER-
TIsER have always been allied with Ameri-
can trade, and how dependent We were then
on America as we are now, in the sugar
and rice business.
The first number of this paper vas issued
ON Wednesday July I'd, 1856, and the event
had been looked forward to with so much
interest that on the day named, the print
ing room (the same as now occupied by IT'D
was filed with the friends of the new paper
eager to witness the birth of the literary
bantling, from which 20 much was to be ex-
peeted. y new Adams power press had been
imported expressly for 1.-THE first power
press ever brought into this country-and
when it commenced its work there was a
rush for the first copy, which BaFnum w.
Field secured, while Messrs. \. p. Everett,
Chas. Brown, Capt. Meek, Capt. 7. Spen-
Ger, +. n. Hanks, and a score or two Of 9TH
ers were served as rapidly a the papers
could be turned of. The first edition con-
sisted of four reams of ~paPer-nearIy 1000
cOpies-and so great was the interest in the
paper that before the end Of the first volume
copies Of the first number were nSt to be
had.
The old cut will appear in the weekly
edition OF this paper but il has been
thought advisable to remove it from the
daily issue. At no time has the ADvEE-
TIsER had 80 large n circulation as il has
now and on all sides have been heard ex-
pressiOns Of its recent general improve
ment. Its business management is in the
hands Of Mr.. Daniel Lyons, the editorial
department is in the hands Of Nr. e. =.
BsckIand, there is a competent foreman
and have but recently obtained from the
Coast a man who, in the general setting

difficult u surpass. The change in the
heading also has the effect Of making more

Our Envoy Abroad.

1t is with the greatest pleasure hat we
are enabled to publish to-day some fuller
particulars and details of the proceedings of
Colonel Curtis Iaukea in Europe. His re-
ception at every place that his instructions
have necessitated his visiting has been
most cordial and distinguished, far more SO
than even the most patriotic Hawaiian
could have anticipated or expected. At the
coronation of His Majesty the Emperor of
all the Russias, particulars Of which have
already been published, at Moscow, in Bel
grade, the City of Palaces, and again in VII
emma, the Royal Courts appear to have WED
with each other in their distinguished and
marked attentions to the representatives of
this Island Kingdom. He has received
high places of honor among other Royal
disposal and high officials of great States
have been deputed to wait upon him.
The benefits to be derived from such ma
tional attentions cannot yet be realized or
appreciated. This far distant Kingdom, of
which little or nothing had hitherto been
known in the Old World, is brought into a
prominent position before the eyes of mil
iioEs and numerous are the Questions that
are asked concerning our country, its in
habitants and its products. That especial
jnLsrest has been felt by the Royal person.
ages with Hhom our Envoy has come in
contact is eyineed by the frequent and per-
tinent q~ueStiolings to Which he has been
subjected. The hospitality and kindness of
Dur Sovereign and his people has evidently
been much thought of by the naval visitors

joint Stock Companies.

The law relating to the Incorporation of
joint stock companies is deserving of con-
sideration. In the United States, Great
Britain and her colonies, if a number of
persons desire to join together and be incor-
porated for the purpose of carrying on any
ordinary business enterprise they know ex-
actly what steps to take in order to accom-
plish the end in view. They have to file
with the proper officer certain documents
setting forth in a distinct manner the OBJ
jects they have in view, stating the capital
to be subscribed and the value OF Individual
shares, and declaring the names of the in
tending stockholders and the limit of their
liabilities. This done and some trifling fee
being paid, if their papers are in proper
order, they receive without further question
and without delay a certificate of incor-
poration. Other regulations AVE suisse
quently to be complied with under penalty,
such as the delivery to the Registrar of the
articles of association as signed by the
stockholders, and the filing annually or
se~mi-annually of a list of shareholders with
the lumber of their shares.
The regulations to be complied with by
incorporators vary in different countries,
but the substantial point in which they all
agree is this, that men willing to associate
themselves together as a company for law
full purposes know beforehand that they
can do so, and are entirely free from the in
reference of any official persons whatso-
ever so'iOng as they comply with the pro-
visions of the law. Here things are differ
ent as every II knows, and not only is
there the chance of a refusal of n charter,
but there is the certainty of more or less
delay in obtaining one.

The Board of Educ alton.

An important meeting of the members of the
Board of Education was held yesterday morning,
when a large amount of husiness was trans
acted,
Mr.. Hore, at present teacher in the Govern
ment school at Hauula, in the district of Koo-
lauloa, was transferred to the Kaneohe school,
in the Kolaupoko district, Mr.. j. Donnely
being appointed to the HauuIa school in Mr..
Hore's place.
Mrs. j. A. Dudoit was appointed assistant
teacher in the primary department of the Puho-
kama girls school, and Mr.. G. Carson Kenyon
was appointed teacher Of the school at Yaiahole
Koolaupoko district.
The list of salaries of teachers in Government
schools in Honolulu, raised by the President and
Inspector-General Of the Board, acting under
the authority of a previous resolution of the
Board, was submitted and approved.

1t will be noticed that many of the Incl
dental expenses of Government are left out
of the above table which, except under the
heads Judiciary, Survey, Education, Mill
tary and the Band only includes the pay of
persons engaged in the service of the coun-
try.
The whole cry about "waste and extrav-
agance' rests on the old objection to the
expenses of the Coronation which form but
a flea bite in proportion to the ordinary
and necessary expenditure of the country.
1t is surely time that this subject were set
aside. The spirit of parsimony animates
some people in all their dealings, the spirit
of pa~rtizanship, is still more common. One
or other of these has dictated the opposition
to the ceremony of 18th February but it is
really wonderful that, after finding that all
their scOlding made no impression, the peO-
pie who denounced the coronation because
they cannot bear to see money spent except
upon themselves and people who desired it
because Of their d~isloyalty tn the King who
was then crowned, have not made up their
minds yet to hide their chagrin and say no
more about il.

John in TIou BILE.

A ChinalQan yesterday NORM ng went into Mr..

purchase a quarters worth of buttons, and for
which he rendered a dollar. While waiting for
his change, and when the storeman's back was
turned, John pocketed about a dollars worth of
the same buttons, wishing to get good measure
for his money. He was taken to the station
house, here a charge Of larceny was entered
against him, but on his being searched q guam.
tity Of opium was also found upon his person,
so that a second charge had to be entered
against unfortunate John.

Our Finances.

Whenever any writer for the opposition
press devOtes his talents to the CALCULATION
Of the finance of the country it Is a matter
Of certainty that he will not finish ms Iu-
cubration without a denunciatiOn OF the
.TvastefuI and extravaganza" character OF
the present administration. With these
people, the fact that the expenditure Of last
wear was at a greater rate than previously,
and that the expenditure of the present
year promises to be still greater, seems to
be accepted as a sufficient proof that waste
and extravaganza are going on, and that
the Government are responsible for it.
They nave no other proofs to bring for
ward, no details to exhibit. no individual
instances of these sins to point to. Stran-
gers reading these TRADES might be led to
suppose that the control and disposition of
the public expenditure were entirely in the
hands Of Ministers instead of being
liked in detail by the Legislature. There
is no sense in such assertions and insinua-
lions and no cause can be helped by their
being INDUCED in.
If we analyze the figures recently pub
lished by the Finance Minister we find that
the major part of 1t may be classed under
two heads, 1st. The ordinary expenses
Of Government and I'd public works
rendered necessary by the industrial
progress of the country. Besides These
there are a number of expend-
itures which although made within the
period under review belong in reality to the
previous financial period. \ summary of
some Of the more important items included
under the first of these heads may be found

last year, followed Mr.: Taylor, AMI ZeaOusly ad-

after the passage of the Elmunds law poiygamists
protesting be goo1Latter Day Saintshad put taway
their wives and sent them to their mothers. He
had an utter contempt for such men. He had more
respect for GenttleS or MPthodtsts, avowed enc

away, and he did not call them together again
until the church concluded to test the conStiu-

Brigham Young, jr., followed. He said that the
powers OF darkness were strengthening 10 over
throw the church OF God; that there never was
time when they needed the power OF the spirit so
much, but that no power on earth could overthrow
the saints, and that stronger revelations than
those they had received were yet TO come.

said that nothing but the spirit OF God was Suffi-
cfent to give them wisdom TO guide them. God

Mysterious Deaths at Guayrnas.

TUCSON. ARIz., Oct Ga letter from DR.. Gregory.
at Guaymas says: ''Ten days ago two men arrived
here who seemed to be on some secret business. A
few days after both suddenly died, apparently
from the effects OF drink; They had refused to
They arrived by way of Altar. and said they had
been on the road several days before reaching this
place. The only clew to the men is that one called
the other Billy the latter looking like an Eng
lishman, having a light complexion, and being
about sixty years OF age" This tends TO confirm a
report circulated yesterday on the street OF the
death OF william Eust1ce, who is well known in
detective circles, and who spirited away George
Smeardon, "a prominent witness In the Tiffany
cases, to Altar. The description OF the above men
by Gregory answers exactly to Smeardon and Eus-
tice. AS far as Smeard0n is concerned whisky
could never have been the direct cause Of his
fanys case forever. It appears they left here
and went TO Altar on horseback, and then to Her
m0sillio. They are reported as having had plenty
OF money. AS Smeardon had no money here and
EuSt1ce was not partiularly wealthy 1t Is curious
question where they got their coin.
