Tn Gold Law was meant hy its makers
to replace the silver currency with United
States gold, except for such silver coin as
should be required in transactions under
ten dollars.
The Act plainly declares. JSect. p that
from and after Dec l, Hawaiian and Amer
lean silver coins shall be legal tender at
their nominal l. e. face value for ten dol
lars only: and, lSect 81 that from and
after Dec. l, all silver certificates except
ing the ten dollar certificates son Irrscl'f7.

lister Of Finance siuN rihar faiHg advertise
for tenders for the sale Of an but Hawai-
ian silver com in the Treasury and for the
delivery of the proceeds thereof into the
Trensury in United States gold CON.
Also, lScct A. that whenever It shall
appear that there Is such an excss Of
silver coins in circulation as disturbs the
equilibrium between gold and silver under
the provisions Of this Act. the Minister OF
Finance, in order TO restore such egplibri-
um SHALL replace sufficient silver from any
silver com which may hc in the Treasury.
@ith gold COINS of the United
States, IN the same manner as hereinafter
provided in Sections ). and Of this Act"
VIZ by advertising FOR tenders. etc.
There were outstanding on Dec l, about
$4,000 Of silver certificates of over ten
dollars. which required $4,000 in United
Stutes gold 10 be in the Treasury for their
redemption. There could be no .'cuuilib
rum between silver and gold with any
deficit Of gold for redeeming these certif
Gates. The doubt was solely. whether ytl,l.
redceming them, still more silver would not
be required to be replaced with gold
Notwithstanding the strange. and as we
think cnlpable delay Of the Minister Of
Finance 10 do what the currency Act re
qmred, and. toprovide gold FOR rcdecming
the certificates, we were led 10 believe that
the Government meant TO cooperate with
the bank and other principal houses. SO as
TO prevent auy difficulty
At present writing. the position OF the
Government is to say the least not satis-
factory
We trust however, that there soon Will
be an end Of this dangerous. useless and
expensive procrastination.
The object Of some OF those who opposed
the gold law was TO keep the control Of for
eign exchange, The premium for $. f.
exchange went down TO II in expectation
of the new law being carried into effect.
We do not forget that the main opponents
Of the law predicted that exchange would
be no better for it. Certainly the gold
law will do no good. II viii do inealculable

THr Government gave orders last week
that explanation should be given relative

planation would have been given had not
a narapraph appeared in the GAZETTE last
week. In connection with the letter of
prominent planter, arguing that the
hances Of obtaining this class OF laborers
was by no means settled We hear tnat
the matter was considered grave one IN
the Palace and was brought TO the atten-
ton Of the King. OF course, there was
nothing to do for the spologist but TO make
the best Of his case, and he was obliged to
let the public know, how the case really
stood as far rs advices had come. But
seeing that those advices had reached Ho
noluln why were not the planters made
aware of the state Of the case at once. The
steamer arrived on MOnday-the subject
was a most important one-to the planters,
It was their duty to at once transmit that
information to the planters, and instead
Of leaving an official newspaper to PICK up
that information from an obscure corner
of foreign journal, it should have been
forwarded instantly TO the editorial rooms
Of every paper in the city, so that every
one might know how the question stood
as far as the Government were able TO
throw light As it is, but for the para.
graphs in the GAZETTE, the planters would
have been allowed to go on expecting the
arrival Of Japanese from day to day. dur
ing this month until they were perfectly
heart sick. The official organ now says
that Consul Irwin writes: Il am promised
the first contingent of 800 in January.
To those who are looking forward to the
arrival Of these laborers this will he good
news.
This is only one instance out of many
which shows how anxious TO be secretive
the men at present in power are. They
are not able TO be so successfully, and their
little secrets leak out here, there and
everywhere. But they show themselves
strangely ignorant of their duty to the
public whose servants they are, but whose
masters they would be if they could, when
they keep back information which should
be in every ones hands rs soon rs il ar
rives. They require very active and Wig
liant press to keep them straight.

As far as We can learn, mp TO the present

The Floods in tho Valley.


The following will give some idea OF the
condition of affairs in the overhowed o's'
trict of the Mississippi Valley:
HELENA, ARK, Aril Q.
The river here is rising about three
and half inches a day. The 81
Francis at Madison rose, IN the
thirty-six hours ending to day at noon,
thirteen inches. Thus, heavy volume Oh
water is now pouring from the 81. Francis
basin, which, but for the crevasses at star
Landing and Trotter's, Miss, and two oth-
ers between here and Friar's Point, MISS,
would cause a much more rapid rise at this
point and along south. These crevasses
are carrying into the Y azoo basin on the
east flood almost as great as tha1 Oh
month ago. and, as all this water is re-
turned to the river above Nlckspurg, Ihe
prospects for the country are dishearten-
ing in the extreme, 1t now appears that
a flood-stag of water is TO be maintained
until far into May, too late for planting
any of the staple crops incident to the bo1-
toms. In addition to this sorry conoltloh
of affairs the buffalo knats, owing to oe
prevalence of cool weather, are destroying
stock i'll ruinous numbers. Ihe mer-
chants are growing timid and cut
ting off supplies in some III
stances Withholding them alto gether-
and general decentralization has set III.
Labor, which has stuck to the bottoms In
hopes of an early subsistence OF the waters'
is necessarily bound there, the season being
too far advanced to render removal pos
sible or expedient. In the main, this labor
is without means of maintenance. Inc
planters g too poor to sustain it i'll idle
ness. Other merchants, of course Will
make no advances where there is no pros
pect of harvest. Thus, though the high
est water was passe / without distress, 1t Is
apparent that the worst is not yet. "A fair
investigation of the true status of the over
flowed districts reveals the condition OF
the masses of the people to be closely
vcrging upon mendicancy. By the masses
is meant the negro labor, which at best in
this Mississippi Valley gets but little in
advance of pauperism. 1mprovident, and
loose in the disposal of his earnings, the
average negro laborer is rarely in a situa-
tion to withstand IL suspension, even for a
week, of his rations, furnished either by
the merchant or planter; hence it is that
widespread distress must inevitably
follow upon the wi hdrawal of supplies
from those domiciled in the submerged ter
ritOry.
