European Markets.

EDITOR SATURDAY PREss-Sir. have
been asked TO write for your paper some li,lls
article about European markets, in hopes that
Il might have influence in changing the con.
dition OF affairs in Honolulu, where, to say the
least, the markets seem to be very poorly
arranged but considering that ! am totally
unused to newspaper writing. | shall only give
you some rambling notes.
In visiting the various places Of Europe, |
have been forcibly impressed with the differ.
enee in which the marketing system Is carried
out, ho,h in the smaller towns and in the
larger cities, and the various degrees Of clean
illness used BY the different nations and places,
'or every one can see at glance that large
proportion Of success depends on this one
virtue lack OF dirt. can hardly agree with
those who say ,ha, hot climate nrecludcs the
idea OF a good market, for some Of the markets
OF southern Europe compare very iavorably
with those Of much more nonherly situation.
The finest markets in the world are al Paris,
they are called " Les Halles Ccntrales." One
who has never visited them can scarcely
imagine their extent, they occupy many ae,es
oi ground and several streets run through them.

The London Lancet for November
a, 1883, says chat select committee
appointed by order of the House OF
Assembly of the British Colony at the
Cape OF Good Hope, to inquire and
report upon the spread of leprosy, have
como to the following conclusions
THAT leprosy prevails extensively in
the colony and ls steadily spreading
amongst both white and colored
classes that no efficient steps have
been taken to prevent the spread OF
this loaihsome disease that the com
miitee believes that the disease may be
arrested and ultimately stamped out
altogether; that for the accomplish
ment OF this object an act for the com
pulsory segregation OF all lepers is
necessary, and the establishment of
loper institutions in suitable localities
where perfect isolation can be secured" 4"
The Rev Canon Baker has appended
some remarks TO the report TINS
gentleman is convinced that "the
affection is contagious and hereditary,
also thai dried fish and dried flesh, with
insufficient supply OF milk and yege-
tables are potent agents in the pro-
ducuou OF this serious maladyh

a leader on Chinese Immigration in
recent issue Of the Advertiser puts
the actual condition OF things very
clearly "Thc country cannot afford
To- ALLOW It's present Chinese population
90 be increased in numbers. II cannot
afford II for is own sake and it cannot
afford 1t ON the score OF adverse public
opinion in the United States" This
Is an admirable statement Of a truth
that must be well nigh automatic to all
but the selfshly blind. the indolenuy
careless or the stupidity content
There has never come under the
observation OF the writer a better de
fcnsc Of the Chinese in Hawaii than
that made by a Mr. Ward, speaking
before recent meeting Of the Work
lngmcu's Union as reported by The
Bulletin. Calm in tone, arguments
tive, comprehensive and compact, the
speech deserves more extended cur
rency than it has had "Itis not the
Chinamaus fault that he is here. He
Is law abiding and industrious to a
fault, his perseverance amounts to a
,tolid bravery he has filed the most
important gap in the labor market. If
the legislature docs not lcgislate to
mitigate the various evils complained
ob 1t is not the Chnaman who is to
bear the blame, for the simple reason
that he never inlcrfcres with the politics
or the government of the country"
All this may chccriully be granted, as
a rule; and yet the Chinese is not a
desirable factor in the commonwealth
unless he can be controlled. 4 few
Chinese merchants, like few in this
town, would do credit to the merchant
class anywhere. A few alas a very
few make excellent house servants.
The presence Of a few Chinese artisans
IS a boon to poor folks. But is the
blessing or a CURSE ? The
stencil Of portions of Nuuanu and
Hotel and Maunakca streets is part of
the answer.

We reprint the following from the
National Republican OF Washington.

correctly stated in his letter To congress ON The
subject, t p1uakes so much OF the nature of

0ut that the United Staics are getting the
lion share Of that bargain. The exports Of
the island last vcas were IS. 2uo.oI6 10. and
the total imports were Sb974,sto.oI This

American. The year before the treaty was
made the trade OF the islands was rlpidiv
being absorbed by the Australian colonies Of
Great Britain, when Mr.. Fish saglciuusly
turned it TO our shores with most satisfactory
results. While the lIowhiians point out that
the balance Of trade was against them nearly
three millions, as they sent out eight millions
in value and got back but four millions. they
are well satisfied ON account of the impetus
given to trade: this profit Of about thirty five
per cent ON the total value of our imports was
made possible, ol course. by the remission Of

with Hawaii negotiated by Mr.. Fish forbids
export duties being levied ON goods admitted

Hawaii from granting free admission 10 goods

Reports from the other islands arc
most encouraging. The Independent
Party, in majority Of the districts, is
not only strong, united and hopeful,
but dONf&lHE The chances for the
election OF an independent majority in
Honolulu are good. The fact thai in
tclligence and integrity have been so
little consulted by the manipulators OF
the so-called National ticket has
emphasized The integrity and intelli.
gence of the Independent leaders. On
the result of the election depends a
great deal to both natives and for.
oigners. We believe this fact has i'm.
pressed itself upon the popular mind.
We believe the thoughtful vote will
have its weight in the approaching con
test We believe the Indcpendcnt
ticket will be very generally elected
And this is not the idle huncomhe ol

judgment OF great many careful, OBJ

a private letter from Washington
says that Mr. Searles has expressed
himself as considerably annoyed at the
publication of an interview with him,
which appeared in the New York
Herald two or three months ago. The
letter says that while Mr., Searles is
undoubtedly opposed to the treaty for
business reasons he has not forgotten
his reception here, and speaks of
Hawaiian hospitality most appreci-
atively, As an evidence of his good
feeling, apart from the treaty question,
Mr.. Searles has recently delivered a
lecture on the islands, illustrated by
Hawaiian views displayed by means of
a stereoptican. 1t would have been
more truly "real nice of MIR. Searles
to counteract the impression made by
the Herald interview by showing its in
correctness in print.

The eStra low prices of sugar have
set the planters to thinking how they
can curtail expenses, and where the
leaks are, and how to stop them. We
have heard that some think they pay
too large freights, commissions are con
sidered too high, and some even in
innate that while the rate of exchange
is and has been high for years, yet the
planter receives no benefit from it.
This matter was brought to the notice
of leading merchant and plantation
agent recently, and he was asked to
explain. His reply was that he had
nothing to explain, as this was bust
ness matter that interested no one but
his house and constituents, and while
they were both satisfied no one else
should complain, but he was willing to
say there was no secresy about the way
he did business with or for plantations.
He had one rule Tor all in this matter
of exchange. He allowed the planta-
ton two-thirds of the premium, and as
to commissions he charged s per cent.
for shipping and selling the sugar, out
of which he paid the San Francisco
agents. These terms are better than
generally obtain, we think.

Quoth the Advertiser of last Thurs

HIM as an inferior being whose country
they have made prosperous and
who ought to submit to be
ruled by them Nothing more
deliberately, nothing more speci-
ically and sweepingly false was
ever penned. Fortunately. the false
hood IS as stupid as it is malicious.
The men who think, the men
who remember, know where and
by whom the appeals to race
prejudice have been made. We
challenge inspection of the columns
OF the independent press, or the re-
corded utterances OF in dependent men,

Tine chief reason that the Chinese
now here are undesirable was set forth
in these columns nearly a year ago.
They are here colony Of unmarried
males. Is it a wonder that gambling,
the opium habit, and namcless vices
consume so much of the time and the
earnings OF the Chinese in our midst
Give these people family ties, and a
chance to learn the good that is in our
civilization, and they may come to
adapt their civilization to what we con
slider the better requirements of ours.
The immigration needs of this nation
were SO fairly summarized in an editor
ial in these columns, published April
81, 1883, that we trust the apparent
egotiSm Of its reproduction now will be
forgiven by an indulgent constituency
That the planters want cheap labor we ad.
nit; that they ned labor so cheap as they
claim, honestly may be disputed without dis.
paraglng the sincerity OF those who make the
claim. What these islands need is faithful
labor by family laborcrs, who shall rear chill
dren fitted to take their places, and who shall
come TO have such a stake in the country as
small holdings Of agricultural property would
insure. With the scheme Of landed aris.
tocrdcy we have no sympathy. 1t would be a
lapse into the chief and fef systcm-a system
that not even the most ardent Of Young
Hawaiians cares to see perpeluatcd. Solid
prosperity here means the prosperity Of q
commonwealth OF industrial families among

sag1city, the often too elastic conscience, and
occasionally downright dishonesty, are the
levers 10y which rich men lift their fortunes
above the level Of their fellows. immortality,
unthnlt, lax business habits, and sometimes
morbdly eSacting consciences, keep men who
might be rich either merely well-to-do, or
poor. Good elements and bad enter into the
composition Of worldly prosperity -so-called.
But the dream Of the Utopians need not be an
idle one If good men "pull together" We
can have in Hawaii Just the conditions we seek

Hawaii will forget their differences and Join
