OUR EMBASSY.

The return of Messrs. Iaukea and
Poor has happened opportunely for
the discussion of the Legislature.
The latter will be now able to reckon
the cost of the expedition of these
gentlemen, and to compare the cost
with the usefulness. The Kingdom
of Hawaii was for the first time re-
presented at coronation of an EN-
peror of all the Russias. The
Kingdom of Hawaii has also called
on the King of Servia and on Arab
Bey. Without saying any word in
disparagement of the gentlemen en-
ployed, the question may be fairly
asked by those who have to pay for
it, to whose benefit, OF in search of
what object was this extravagant
mission? We do not expect to
receive immigrants from South East
ern Europe, or from Ceylon. We
do not anticipate any national benefit
whatever from the whole course of
this mission. The introduction of
laborers from British possessions in
the East, stands exactly where it
did, before this mission set out. We
are anxious for such labor as British
India can give us. India is willing
to give us laborers-but on her own
terms, and those have been pro-
nounced to be incompatible with the
independence of this Kingdom. 1t
has been pronounced on very good
authority, as a necessary preliminary
for the introduction of Indian labor
that certain modification be made
in the constitution of this Kingdom.
1t may be that this difficulty has
been got over by the efforts of our
embassy but we still doubt the pos
sibility of British Indian laborers
being allowed to pass out of British
jurisdiction without such outside
supervision as has hitherto been pro-
nounced to be inconsistent with the
dignity and independence of Hawaii.
Be this as it may, it will prove a
difficult task for the Foreign Minis

ment that when the House adjourn

believe in these short adjournments,

childish manner in this matter. The
amendment was lost by close vote,

EXCHANGE.

Exchange depends mainly on ex-
ports and imports! With a sound
currency, exchange should always
be in favor of country which ex-
ports more than it imports. Here
the houses of Hackfeld, Irwin, Bre-
wer, Castle & Cooke, Davies, Schae-
fer, Grinbaum, Hyman and Phillips
practically control all our exports.
They are all also importers, and

Bush, just before his being appointed
to the Finance department, with the
further roccommcndation that before
coming the Hawaiian gold eagles, a
special understanding should be
obtained with the United States to
the effect of these coins being re-
ceived at par value by the American
authorities; and if necessary, inter-
exchanged at certain specified times
between the two Governments as is
done between the Governments COM
posing the latin monetary union.

the QUEENS BIRTHDAY.

Tomorrow is the sixty-ffth ami
versary of the birth of Her Majesty
Victoria, Queen of Great Britain
and Ireland, Empress of India, etc.
On the goth of June Her Majesty
will reach the forty-seventh ami
versary of her accession to the
throne. Her reign has been one of
uninterrupted progress in the welfare
of her people. The period. has been
by no means devoid of incident
The revolutions of 1848, the birth
and death of the Empire of Louis
Napoleon, the terrible war for the
maintenance of the Union, the Franco
German and the Russo-Turkish
wars, and at the present moment,
the complicated state of affairs in
Egypt have in turn attracted the at
tention of the world.
However, here in Hawaii, we can
in peace wish Her Majesty health
and long life, and no doubt all ma
tionalities will join in the wish. In
the absence of any man-of-war, it is
not proposed to hold any formal re-
ception at the British Commissioner S
residence. AT the ball on the 27th
we hope that the occasion may be
worthily celebrated.

EDITOR BULLETIN A wonderful

EDITOR BULLETIN A wonderful
change seems to have suddenly
occurred in the minds of certain
members of this community about
gold currency. Even those who
ridiculed the idea of this gold cur
rency some time ago, and urged on
silver coinage instead accept it now
as most natural one. The question
can accordingly be submitted to
those same men, whether in the event
of a national coin being really in
despensible, it would not have been
far more practical at the out set to
coin Hawaiian gold instead ofaaHawa-
iian silver dollars. This suggestion
was made by the writer to Minister

The public will await with interest
the report of the Finance Committee
on this subject.

'Sandy" Jim, as he Is called, Is one
of tho most quarrelsomo negroes in
Austin, but he always gets tho worst of
every fight and invariably gets thrashed.
Some days ago he was fined $40 for
not complying with some sanitary
ordinance that required him to clean
up his back yard. AS he paid over
the money he sighed and groaned as II
