CAPTAIN TRIPS MISSION.

For the information of some mali
cious people, we give the following
extract from the Report presented to
the Legislative Assembly by the
Minister of Foreign Affairs. Under
the heading EMISSION to Central
and Western Polynesia" the Minister
says:
1.-THE Board of Immigration having
had occasion to arrange with the
owner of the schooner Julia to convey
Island laborers whose terms of SER
vice had expired, and that vessel
being also about TO make recruiting
voyage in the South Seas, advantage
was taken of the opportunity by His
Majesty to send friendly greetings to
the Sovereign Chiefs of various islands
at which the Julia would call. Capt.
A. n. Tripp having been appointed
to the command of the vessel, received
a Royal Patent as His Majesty's Spe-
ciaI Commissioner for Central and
Western Polynesia,a and was in
structed to deliver His Majesty's
letters in person to the Chiefs to
whom they were addressed. Mr.. F.
L. Clarke was attached to the expe-
Jition as Secretary to Captain Tripp,
and was instructed to make collec-
tions for our National Museum at
every available point on the voyage.
Captain Tripp was cordially received
by the various Sovereign Chiefs of
the islands he visited, and very
friendly replies have been received to
His Majesty's letters. Captain Trip
also aseertained that very good

GOLD AND SILVER.

In another column will be found q
statement published by order of the
Government, showing the amount of
the old silver certificates outstanding
and of the coin which is in the Trea-
sury for the purpose of their redemp-
ton. This shows that the Treasury
still holds gold against these notes to
the extent of more than half (about
533 per cent? of their amount, More
over there is also in the Especial De-
posit" $39,716.60. being IA per cent.
on the amount of silver held against
notes redeemable in gold, being the
amount which it would cost TO con-
vert that silver into United States
gold coin. The position of the Trea-
sury, therefore, in regard to its liabil-
ity to redeem the silver certificates is
strong, and this after having already
paid out about quarter of million
in gold for these notes.

THE "JULIA' EXPEDITION.

What is known as the Julia" ex-
pedition has, from it's inception, been
the object of those sneers in which
certain class of the community (nine-
tenths of whom are alien residents,
who have no intention of ever be-
coming Hawaiian citizens) love to
indulge in regard to anything done
by the Gibson Ministry, and any
thing in which the King takes an
interest. The latest phase of this
talk has the form of inuendO as to
what wonderful ''disclosures' are to
be made in Court or otherwise, if
certain claims of the Pacific Naviga-
ton Company arising out of the
'Julia's'' voyage and wreck are not
promptly settled by the Government.
We will not give Mr.. A. +. Cooke
the discredit Of originating this
inuendo, the Kings enemies are
quite capable of inventing it, and
against them we raise the cry, bor-
rowed from the national anthem of
another monarchy "Confound their

Bridges ON Hawaii.


Mr.. C. N. Arnold, the energetic Road
Supervisor for the Island of Hawaii, reports
that the following bridges, ten Of which
were built by the Pacific Bridge Co., and
five by himself have been finished. Com
mencing at Hilo, the bridges cross the fol-
lowing streams, the length of span being
stated: Pauoa, SO feet; Pukawainaku, 40
feet; Honolii, $50 feet; Pahoeboe, 80 feet;
Papaiko, IS feet; Aleiamai, 85 feet; Hawai-
nui, go feet; Pepeekeo, 40 feet; Honomu, 100
feet; Kolekole, S5 feet; Umumu, 110 feet;
Opea, so feet; Nanui, so feet; Waikomalu, SIS
feet; Pohakupuka, so feet.
The bridges built by the Bridge Company
are what is called the 'Pratt-Gorrel' truss;
those built by Mr.. Arnold are the "Modi-
fed Howe truss Gron) covered.
In building the Honolii bridge it was
necessary to go down twelve feet below the
water for suitable foundation for the abut-
ment on the Hilo side of the stream. The
foundation was laid at that depth in hy-
draulic cement packed in bags (some 48O
being used). The bags became firmly
cemented together and the abutment is one
homogeneous mass connected by causeway
with the shore.
None Of the bridges are less than 20 TT. above
average high water mark, and the chances
are that no freshet cansrise high enough to
carry them away.

Politics, Frustrate their Knavish
Tricks, God Save the King"
Being we'll assured that neither
His Majesty, nor his Ministers, nor
Captain Tripp, nor Mr.. Clarke
have anything to fear from the
fullest disclosures" about the
"Julia'' expedition we have sought
permission to publish the official re-
port made by Captain Tripp on his
return to Honolulu, which was unfor-
tunately too late to be embodied in
the Departmental report of the Min
lister of Foreign Affairs. To-day we
publish the report in full; the ap-
pendiX consisting of various letters
from island rulers and a contempo-
rary narration of the war ON Nan
cute will appear tomorrow.
We leave these documents to speak
for themselves and will merely add
the case in Court from which some of
our contemporaries are vainly ex-
pecting disclosures" to gloat over, is
not to come off, as at Mr.. Cookies re-
quest the claim on the Government
is to be settled by arbitration.

ALWAYS SHAMELESS.

The editor of the Gazette is evil
IDENTIFY determined to live up to the
standard of the epithet we lately be-
slowed upon his paper = always
shameless" His attack upon the
Secretary and Copyist of the Foyeign
Office is about as mean thing as
we have fallen in with lately. The
Insinuatlon of what is false is worse
than a lie; and however ''dove"-like
those whom Gn company with other
Government servants) he thus SLAM
ders and endeavors to injure may be
in the eyes of this editor they must
necessarily resent being held up to a
public obloquy, which is wholly un-
merited, merely that Mr.. Atkinson
may have an opportunity of saying
something nasty about Mr.. Gibson.
The Gazette also says that the
planters "have been allowed to go on
expecting the arrival of Japanese
from day to day." and insinuates that
they were purposely kept in the
dark on this subject by the Govern
ment. The editor of that sheet should
look up his files before he talks so
positively. The morning after the
arrival of the S. S. "Australia,"
which brought the news to the Gov
ernment, an announcement of it ap-
peared in the editorial columns of
this journal, in the following terms:
''Various matters have, however,
caused delay. Arrangements have
been made for the transport of 800
instead of 600, as first announced as
the pioneer lot, and they are to come
by the Pacific Mail Steamship Co.'s
January steamer direct from Yoko-
hama to Honolulu" No palmer or
more prompt announcement of the
fact could have been offered than
that which we were permitted thus
to make. Are we right in supposing
that the forgetiulness of the editor of
the Gazette of what the ADVERTISER
said on Sd December last was as much
of purpose as the proverblal deafness
of "those who will not hear?" From
his usual coarse of conduct we are
certainly justified in indulging in
such a supposition. After all, there
are some strong symptoms OF de-
mentia in such conduct; and we will
not be severe enough to believe that
our contemporary is altogether an
swerabe for some of the transparent
ly untruthful and malicious things
which he says when his mind wan
ders.

feeling in favor of this country, as
compared with others seeking labor,
existed at the New Hebrides. I'm
fortunately the Julia was wrecked on
her return voyage, and Captain Tripp,
not having yet reached Honolulu, [
am without any formal report from
him. Mr.. Clarke has returned, bring
ing with him small portion of the
collections he has made. He reports
that it is probable that a considerable
part of the remainder may have been
saved from the wreck.n
The editor of one of the evening
papers asks number of questions
about this mission which simply
serve to show his own ignorance.
The Julia went to Fiji and the New
Hebrides on Mr.. Cookies business
solely, and the mission" was
finished when the vessel left the
Island of Kuria on her southwark
voyage.
1he editor in the other evening
paper insults Captain Tripp and Mr..
Clarke by saying that they wish to
"shield themselves from investiga-
ton of their conduct" Such an in
sinuation is disgrace to the man
who wrote it, and to the paper that
publishes it. We had occasion some
months ago, when these gentlemen
were both absent, to notice scurrilous
remarks that appeared in the Oppesi-
ton press, which gave great pain to
the ladies of their families, and are
astonished at the Daily Bulletin con-
descending TO similar base line of
conduct.

EXPORT OF COIN.

The coin shipped by the Mariposa
on Monday amounted to $12,6S6 63, of
which $12,O19 80 was in American
gold pieces. For some weeks past the
available exchange has been con-
siderably short of the demand for it,
because very little produce is going
forward at present; and, on the other
hand, the demand for exchange has
been larger than the actual require
ments of the period, because many
held over remittances during the
time when exchange was high, await
ing the present time. Under the cir
cumstances, the shipment of gold
may be looked upon as very small.
From this time forward sugar will
come forward more freely, and ex-
change ought to be comparatively

WEARING APPAREL

The ladies have for long time
been credited with all Cor nearly alb
the vanity that attaches to the wear
ing of fine apparel. They have been
supposed to be the half of the world for
whom " fashions" have peculiar,
an almost tyrannical fascination, but
we incline to the belief that under
cover of the dust raised by men in
their fierce denunciations, their ridi-
cule and good natured jests against
the fashions, many of the male sex
strive to conceal their own weakness
for certain set and cut of coats,
trowsers, vests and other articles of
male vesture.
Many a man who laughs at his
wife's or daughters compliance with
fashions dictates, and declares that
he cannot see why women will be so
silly as to wear this, that or the other
dress because it is the style, takes fine
care that his tailor shall cut his
clothes in the prevailing mode.
There are those of the sterner sex
who insist upon having their new
clothes 'tfeel comfortable" when they
put them on, but even they would
stare at the tailor who told them he
didn't follow the fashion, but cut the
garments to suit the wearer. Take,
for example, the staid. middle-aged,
somewhat portly, and eminently
we'll conducted merchant whom
everybody would say had a soul above
the petty details of how his clothes
shall be cut as long as they "fit" him.
In his tailor's hands he becomes u
lay figure on which is to be fitted a
coat, for example. His own predilic-
tions incline him to the slab-backed,
square-tailed, high-collared garment
of ten years ago, but he assumes the
much more elegant coat of the period
(which he secretly thinks makes him
look like dude) and doesn't dare
discard it because it is in "the style.'
that his halter commends to his no.
tice as being "the latest thing out in
hats" but he gets it or something
like it. AS for shoes; we'll, anyone
who may have noticed how men will
crowd their toes into the absurdly
narrow tips of the "quill-toed " corn
generators of the period, will under
stand how potent is fashions decree
with the strongest minded of men.
No reference need be made to dudes
for they live simply to be in style. AS
young men generally, they must be
we'll dressed, which is one thing, and
a large number think it imperative to
do so fashionably, which is quite an
other.
Our young maidens (and old ones
too for that matter) are more to be
pitied than blamed, often, for follow
ing fashion because it is such; but
they should not have to bear the
whole odium of being ridiculous in
this matter, for the men are often
quite as silly as they.

Professor Cook, State geologst of New
Jersey, in late address rs to the means to
be used for enriching the land by which its
products could be increased, said: "As it is
always best to care for that on hand before
purchasing, farmers should protect barn-yard
manure from the weather; it would lose
nearly onc,half in value if exposed. Crops,
hay, etc, would he damaged by water in
nearly the same proportion. OF the expcn-
sve fertilizers sometimes called flash or
patent manurcs,) 10000 tons, costing over
81 ,000, 900, were used in New Jersey in 1882,
some with no apparent benefit. But most of
these fertilizers were honestly made and
contained properties which would be valua-
bic if lacking in soil and needed in the crop.
Smell or taste is no criterion of virtue in
manure. A knowledge ofthe particular ingrc-
dent to be supplied and judgment in APP
plying it were necessary Good wheat is
| considered testimony of good farmer. A
series of interesting experiments with various
| fertilizers has been carefully made in differ
cnt parts of the State, the results seeming to
show that in this locality superphosphaie of
| lime produces grain and early ripening in
| wheat, while potash is essential to thegrowlh
of the stems or wood. Nitrate of soda also
makes heavy wheat, and saltpetrc has n
| special virtue for it. Muriatc of potash is
best for corn. Plaster starts clover like
| magic, but gives no lasting benefit. Bone
dust will renovate old pastures. Yellows in
peach trees are thought TO be caused by Il
| deposit ofstarch in the pores of the wood,
| choking the circulation. Muriate ofany kind
| of potash is good; makes trees long lived and
| thrifty; also air Stacked lime"
