correspondent of the Sydney Nail gives the foi-
lowing sketch Of Mackay, one of the sugar districts
of Queensland: Mackay, though one Of the largest
if indeed not the largest-of the sugar districts
In Queensland, is yet but q single district among
many where the cane is extensively cultivated,
and yet here alone the annual output has now re-
ached value equal to about eS51,000, and it has
been estimated that the total money value of the
sugar produced in this district from the initiation
OF the industry to the present day is not much
less than two millions sterling. The total crushing
capacity of the mills il Mackay was at the com
mencemens of the present year estimated at 5000
tons per season. In the year 1877 the crop of the
district produced nearly 100 tons of sugar; in
1873 the crop produced 10000 tons: the next sea-
son the yield fell back, but in 1881 it was again
1000 tons: in 1852 it again receded but in 1883
larger area of cane was put under crop, and the
product higher than that of any previous year,
despite heightened drought. The present year
the crops are as whole, throughout the district,
unfayorable. The cause Of this is, the planters
state, the neglect TO which they have been sub
jected by the want Of lsb0ur. There are not hands
sufficient TO keep the weeds down and to keep the
canes stripped.

Or THE great national questions now be
fore this country, that of leprosy Is one OF
the most prominent. The Government has
fer twenty years been striving to grapple
with the evil, and to execute measures to
arrest the progress of the disease and pro
tect the people Notwithstanding all
efforts made and means employed, the
problem still looms up and appears as diff
cult of solution as ever. As the matter
now stands the obstacles to be overcome,
and the damages to be averted appear
even. more serious than ever.
Why would it not be eminently proper
and wise for the physicians of the islands
to assemble and discuss the subject and
take counsel together
When great questions affecting the pub
lie finance or trade arise, the merchants
take counsel together in the Chamber of
Commerce or otherwise. and seek the solu-
ton of the difficulties and the results of
their deliberations are often of great ser
vice.
So when questions affecting the agricul-
tural and planting interests come up, it is
deemed eminently appropriate that the
planters convene and deliberate upon
them.
The physicians should of all men be the
best qualified to advise as to the best course
to be pursued in dealing with the geat
question of leprosy. There are physicians
in Honolulu and upon the other islands
who have observed and treated the disease
since its first appearance on these islands
There are others who, though of shorter
residence here, have given most careful
attention to it. All alike are deeply inter
ested in its history and study, and are
seeking after knowledge upon the subject
II these scientific men would meet together
and exchange views, and state their ex-
periences, and advise with one another.
might it not lead to greater knowledge
/ Their experiences have been varied; their
observations and practice have been prose
cuted under dissimilar circumstances. and
different opinions have been formed upon
certain points. Most valuable information
upon the whole subject could thus be OBJ
tanned and preserved
This is not question of politics, but il
/ Is one of vital Importance to the nation
one in regard to which no means should
be neglected by which light can be gained
| and progress made.
In times of peril all turn for succor tC
those best qualified to protect, and now
the nation must turn to our trained physi
clans, and ask for their united councils and
advice.
A general conference of the able anG
philanthropic body of physicians of these
islands, meeting on common ground for {
common purpose, could not fail to result
in much good.
The gravity of the case would almost
seem to demand that such conference bt
held.

WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER S. 1854.

RErERR1Se to the communication which
we publish to-day, upon the gold law, it
Is probable that Bishop a Co.'s bank with
the houses of Hackfeld and Irwin will up
on the Ist day of Decembe, hold or control
several hundred thousand dollars of the
silver certificates which are then redeem
able in gold. .n..
If It shall at any time appear that the
Treasury Is short for gold with which TO
redeem such certificate, as shall be pre-
scented for redemption. then, instead of
waiting t. send to San Francisco for more
gold and meanwhile allowing the national
credit to be seriously damaged and gold
to go to a premium. the proper course will
be to arrange with the large holders of
certificates TO withhold presentation until
the equilibrium Is reached.
But Il is useless 10 urge small holders
not TO call for their gold. that viii be the
surest way to induce them to ask for it.
The arrangement with the bank and
principal houses should be made in ad-
vance. TO avoid all pressure.

desire, there will be none. We asaR see no
rush" for in the government no one be
lieves. 1t is not that there is lack of money,
but that there is most lsmentable want
of confidence.
The object which the government spol
ogist has apparently set himself is to
blacken the financial condition of the
country, to try to show that the govern
ment are in straits merely because Others
are so. This is untrue; the government
are in straits because of their own folly,
and they cannot rise out of their slough
OF despond in which they find themselves.
the mercantile world has suffered but a
temporary depression, which is at once
hghtened by the news that the sugar mar
ket has an upward tendency. The shrink
age of values here is exaggerated, but the
fact is true: were the sugar market to con
time rising, the value of private properties
would be restored to their normal condi-
ton, but the government would not be
able to borrow dollar more than they are
to-day: their credit is bad, and no sugar
market, no national prosperity could re
store it. They stand branded as taithless
stewards, as men incapable of managing
the funds entrusted to them, as banHupts
alike in reputation as in purse, and know
ing this they have tried to blacken the
commercial reputation through their paid
organ; they have succeeded in putting
forth boomerang argument, one that re
coils on themselves.

TIE T. C. AdrHrissr has come out with a
long TRADE Of abuse Of Nv o. Smith and
his political friends" the main points OF
which are, that those gentlemen were
clever enough ito persuade this commu-
nifty into advocating the new gold law. and
opposing the Spreckels' bank scheme, in
addition to persuading the Supreme Court
to decide on technical grounds" that the
Loan Act forbade the Government from
selling It's gold bonds to Mr. SprecEels for
silver dollars worth about eighty cents
each
If the monopoly bank were in full blast
now, and the eighty cent dollars had con
tinued to pour into the country. (SS00,OOO
Of them uae poured in we should all be
in high feather. says the organ.
One might ask If the iitCrtiser cared to
answer. why the Cabinet unanimously
voted for the gold law. and declined to
vote for the original bank monopoly. if the
former is an evil and the latter would be a
public blessing
There Is no reason why the low price of
sugar should have caused retrenchment in
the necessary expenditures OF the Govern
ment. Their unnecessary and wasteful
OUTLAWS Tor purposes OF display and buf
foonery, joined with their own inability to
secure the confidence @. our capitalists in
the bonds which are hawked about the
streets of San Francisco, are more than
enough to account for the parsimOny now
shown in OUTLAWS for immigration or pub
lie Improvements.
But the Joke Of the thing is, that II is
only few weeks since the Idrs1issT was
frantically shouting that the opposition
had not gained a single point Now its
readers must infer that it gained many
poiuts.

IT Is amusing TO see the incunseuuent
manner in which the saluied advocate of
the Government strives to meet the unan-
swerable. We are told thar the Cabinet
have to be careful Of the means at their
disposal and that they cannot wisely risk
anything IN the way of liability on the
strength of estimated future receipts" and
ID the next paragraph we have a ieremiad
upon the iniquities Of Mr. W o. Smith
and his friends for preventing the govern
menE from contracting an extensive loan.
The two statements in juxta position would
be fairly laughable. were It not that the
financial condition Of the Cabinet is too
serious thing to jest at, by those whose
fortunes are bound up in Hawaii
Another amusing change Of front Of the
the Ministerial organ Is also noteworthy.
For months 1t was its cue to represent the
opposition to the government as composed
of mere office seekers. as disappointed sore
heads, as a noisy knot Of men who could
be counted on the fingers Of one hand. and
further, that they were unuble to accom-
plish anything. 1t is laughable now to
read, when the government Is on the ques-
question of want OF ready cash. Of "a
crowd of deluded followers" of W. o.
Smith and his associates, and to find il
stated that but for that gentleman's deter
mined action, the government loan might
have been hoated, and this country made
the pocket borough of California CAPT
talist. As has always been maintained in
these columns, the opposition had large
number of followers" all the intelligence
and respectfully Of the country have been
ranged in its ranks. while only the worth
less has naturally gravitated to the foes OF
the country, namely: the present Cabinet.
Moreover the opposition has scored a sue
cess Without It, the men now in power.
would have completely wrecked Hawaii's
fortunes; they have been checkmated. and
solely by the clear cannon sense of the
opposition.

FoB over year the agents of the Mexican Gov
eminent have been trying to coax the English
holders of certain Mexican bonds TO come to some
agreement touching a readiustment of the debt
per of the London ney-lenders. Just what the
terms of settlement are is not known, but the
English have declared all along that nothing but
hrst mortgage on the revenues of Mexico would
bring them TO terms. Had the Hawaiian Govern.
ment not been pulled up short in their reckless
course, they would have finally fallen into the
condition Of Mexico, and we should have had q
mortgage on our revenues.

been placed on the sidewalk, proclaimed that the
polls for the receiving of votes for the Presidential
Candidates were duly opened. Previous notice of
this event had been given in the newspapers and
by posters, and it not long before voters ma de
their appearance and deposited their votes for
their favorites. Mr.. Henry Waterhouse an enthu-
siast for Blaine, worked most theoretically to pile
up the majority for his favorite, offering an in

and from the number worn, his generosity was
lavish. The polls were kept open until 522 D. m

4 PLEASANT surprise was given this com
munity last week. by the bank Of Bishop
q Co. lowering the rate Of exchange on
California TO three per cent. This was
sound financial judgment not only for the
interests OF the bank. but for those Of the
country at large. The United States gold
law takes effect here on the first day of
December. This action OF the bank is
taken, OF course, IN anticipation Of the fall
IN exchange which must come as soon as
that law goes into operation But its sig
nifcance and its far reaching results may
not be generally appreciated. By taking
this step now. before public confidence in
the new currency has been established,
the bank has settled the question Of the
working Of the gold law.
If gold were likely to become scarce and
command a premium. every one knows
that Bishop X Co. would not care to sell
exchange at three per cent now.
The thanks Of the community are due to
those who have thus taken the exchange
bull by the horns. There Is no surer way
10 give confidence 10 Others than to show
that we have IT ourselves. The slightest
anxiety displayed by the bank would have
caused gold TO be boarded and sent out of
the country as fast as people could afford
to do so. with the immediate consequence
that silver would be at a discount But
all can now see that gold viii be of no use
for exporting. and that there viii be no
reason to hoard it any more than silver,
from the fact that the bank. the thermom
eter of all coin values, does not care
whether people export gold or not 1t evi-
IDENTIFY means To do the legitimate avrbanc,a
business of the country, by selling foreign
drafts for tIlfe more than actual cost OF
RENTING coin.
We hail with pleasure the near advent
of sound and solid national currency.

NOTES..

Ip Brddsheefs in September certain compari-
sons of prices of various products were made as
showing the great decline in the values of those
products. The London Financial Neies, in a re-
cent article on the decline in values, asks the
question, Has the bottom been touched7n and
thinks the answer should be in the affirmative. 1t
thinks that even if no marked improvement is to
be expected Immediately there is reasonable
ground TO look for break in the monotory OF
constantly lowering quotations.
