the PORTUGUESE PAPER.

On the 31st of this month, occurs
the 47th birthday of the King of
Portugal. Our authority on the
matter is the Luso Hupaiia,to,
whose No. 8, now to hand, makes
its usual good appearance with a
full stock of foreign and local news
of interest to Portuguese readers.
Among the advice given to our
Lusitanian colony, we notice that of
sending for more Portuguese women,
that of more punctuality in the
parents sending their children to
school, and that of having all
children vaccinated with the new
and pure virus just received by the
Board of Health. Through the cour-
tesy of the Post-oflice authorities,
the Luso announces that the pro-
portion of letters sent from here to
Portugal and the Colonies, is about
$4,000 year, which show that the
Portuguese are not so illiterate as
sometimes represented, and which
proves that they alone give quite an
income to our Post-oflice. A fair
proportion of well-selected miscel-
laneous items completes this paper,
which is evidently with Mr.. Marques
a work of lore Oct. 9th.

The efforts of the Government to
obtain a mail service, to be per-
formed in eighteen days, between
Auckland and San Francisco having
failed, an extension was allowed to

terminus was waived, it being found
that, for several reasons, it was con-
venient to maintain the connection
with Sydney. 1t was found, too,
that New South Wales was unwilling

that might be made for continu-

DEPARTURE OF the MARIPosA.

There was the usual large gather
ing at the wharf to-day to see the
steamer off. Mr.. Berger and the
Royal Hawaiian Band played some
lively airs. The passenger list was
unusually small. The meagre dis
play of waving handkerchiefs from
the deck of the ship was a negative
omen for good to Honolulu. The
value of the freight taken fell from
the hundred thousands of former
occasions to the ten thousands, being
little below $4,000. Among the
passengers were Messrs. w. III.
Bailey, prominent and active men,
Der at the recent Planters meeting,
Mr.. ID. n. Johnston, well-decked
with leis, who has been here closing
up the affairs of the Hawaiian Bazaar,
and Mr.. $. G. Fuller, delegate from
the Honolulu Y. M. C. A. to the
convention at Napa, Cal. The
Post-ofiice despatched eleven bags
of mail, containing 6,6l0 letters
and papers. Among the bags was

Y. M. C. A.

The monthly meeting of the Y.
NJ. c.. A. was held last evening, the
President, Mr.. j. B. Atherton, in
the chair. Reports from committees
occupied the greater part of the
hour. The reading room committee
reported an attendance of ST. in
the reading room for four weeks
ending on Saturday last. $40 papers
and Ga magazines were given away
in the same time. On motion OF
DR.. Hyde, seconded by Hon. A. +.
Judd, the Library Committee were
authorized to order three German
periodicals, and also Portuguese
paper if a suitable one can be OBJ
tanned. A vote of thanks was
passed to the Entertainment Com
mittee and to the ladies and gentle
men who had assisted in the recep-
ton and entertainment to the officers
and crew of the Satellite, on Friday
evening last. The committee APP
pointed at last meeting to consider
the ACCESSIBILITY of alliliating with
the California State Association,
reported that they did not deem it
advisable to carry out the proposed
utilization. The report was adopted.
In response to question by Hon.
A. f. Judd, enquiring what were
the views of the meeting with re-
ference to the drinking habits of the
white population, whether there has
been loss or gain in the temper
ance element, several members eX-
pressed their opinion that the tenn
perance sentiment is steadily adj
vancing, and the apparent increase
in the number of cases of drunken
ness is due to the enlarged facilities
afforded by the government for
debauching the population. AS
evidence of the progress of temper
ance views the president referred to
the fact that at the recent lunch
| given by the city members of the
Planters Labor & Supply Company
to their colleagues at the Hawaiian
Hotel, no intoxicating drinks were
offered or asked for, Mr.. johnson
gave it as the result of his obserya'
tions that intemperance is on the
decrease, and that he knew several
instances of men formerly hard
drinkers who have renowned the
habit entirely. The lectures of Mrs
Leavitt were referred TO as having
been productive of much good il
creating and strengthening a healthy
J tone of public opinion on this sub

OPIUM FISHING.

On Saturday we had just time to
mention the bare fact that the opium
fishery, conducted for some time
past and ridiculed in certain quar-
tiers, had at length been successful
in pretty good haul. On Friday
night, as on the previous one, two
boats were cruising in the bay in
search of the contraband article.
Deputy-Marshal Dayton and Officer
Marcos, in charge of one of the
cruisers, had watch set on shore
for suspicious movements on the
water. Late at night, boat was
seen stealing up the harbor, and the
officers were notified of the fact by
telephone. The boat came ashore
near the prison, and two Cinnamon
stepped on the strand. They were
Immediately confronted by the
officers and asked whose boat that
was. Replying that they did not
know, they were promptly arrested
for larceny of the boat. In the
craft there was dredging apparatus,
also a bag apparently meant to re-
ceive whatever the grapnels might
hook up. Messrs. Dayton and
Marcos, with two boatmen, after
disposing of the prisoners, embarked
in boat and proceeded out along
the course by which the Cinnamon
had come, until they reached the
spar buoy. They met Marshal
Soper and Officer Mehrtens in an
other boat, just abandoning the
search for the night. The latter
laughingly wished the relief guards
better luck than they had themselves
had. So the two parties separated
in the bright moonlight, and the
Deputy Marshal's boat began dredg-
ing operations, very soon taking up
from sandbank, in about six
fathoms of water, parcel contain
ing about hundred tins of the pro-
hibited drug. Some of the cans
were leaky, and the package had
been anchored with iron sinkers.

lNTER-ISLAND NAVIGATION.
NO. IL.

Two weeks have elapsed since the
return of the steamer G.. r. Bishop
from her fruitless search for the
schooner Ka Moi. The official re-
port OF the captain was handed in to
the Minister of the Interior, who
ordered it published for the public
good, and thus endeth the last
chapter in the last Hawaiian tragedy.
1t is in no carping or malevolent
spirit that we refer to this sad event
as a tragedy. Tragedy it is and of
very deep hue. 1t is a fatal and
mournful event not caused by any
human violence but the result of
culpable negligence. Would that
the conclusions arrived at were
wrong in toto, and that the IA Moi
and her crew were in some safe
haven. No one could more strongly
desire, than the writer, that death
from starvation or exhaustion had
not befallen the unhappy nine (some
reports say sixteen) men on board
the Ka Moi.
But what is the natural inference
to be drawn when it is known that
Hawaiian schooners leave port with
only two or three days provisions
on board? Death, and that of the
worst kind must naturally follow.
We are not wanting for an instance
of what might have happened on
board Hawaiian schooner a few
years ago, but for the timely and,
we might say, miraculous interven-
ton of Providence. About ten or
twelve years ago the Hawaiian
schooner Go-Ahead sailed from Mo-
Ioaa, Kauai, bound to Honolulu. In
addition to her crew she carried a
number of passengers, amongst whom
was one Captain White, the owner
of the schooner. The Go-Ahead
was under the command of a Ha,
waiian who had successfully guided
her across the Kauai Channel on
many previous occasions. He was
admitted to be steady man, a good
sailor and competent person to have
charge of schooner. But events

vessels from Auckland as formerly.
Instead of bond of f25, 900 being
taken as formerly, the company in
case of failure to perform its con-
tract is to forfeit $4,000 to New
Zealand, and e., 500 to New South
Wales as liquidatcd damages. New
South Wales and New Zealand are
entitled to retain any subsidy granted
for the mail service by the English
Government Or any Polynesian Gov
eminent. Three mail agents will
accompany each vessel instead of
four. Pilotage, tonnage and harbor
dues are to he abrogated to the con-
tractors in New South Wales, light
house, tonnage and harbor dues in
Auckland. The undertaking of the
Honolulu-San Francisco portion
shall not affect the liability of the
contractors for the due performance
of the entire service. The period of
contract may be extended so as to
include additional voyage. The first
boat will leave Sydney on the 3rd of
December, Auckland on the 9Th,
and Honolulu the 2lst of the same
month. From San Francisco the
first boat will depart on November
21st and Honolulu November 2Sth.
Some of the Colonial papers ex-
press misgivings as to the transfer
ring process at Honolulu, and ac-
commodation for travellers here.
These objections will, we trust, dis
appear under experience of the
facilities for transfer to be afforded
at this port, and of the excellent
accommodations, comforts and pleas
ures available to guests of the Royal
Hawaiian Hotel.

the true sense of the term would
preclude the disgraces of jockeying
and the demoralizations of gambling
in our manly sports.
The Press is authority for the
statement that the Russian man-of-
war "Massager" may shortly be ex-
pected here, with her captain COM
missioned to dissuade His Majesty
from selling the kingdom to the
United States, or, if he is bound to
sell out, to induce him to give Rus
STA the refusal. This intimation is
based upon an article copied from a
Russian by French paper, and the
cause of Russia's action is the
rumor that went round the world re-
garding Mr.. Daegetts mission from
His Majesty to Washington.
A practical move is announced on
the part of the Board of Health.
Agreeably to the suggestion made a
long time ago in the BULLETIN, the
city is to be parcelled off in districts,
each to be under special sanitary
supervision. Vessels arriving from
Asiatic ports are to be quarantined.
The streets are to be cleaned and, it
is to be hoped, kept clean. Especial
attention is to be given, in cleansing
operations, to the Chinese quarters.
Sanitary injunctions and informa-
ton are to be printed and circulated
throughout the Islands, for the bene-
| fit of natives. If only the Board
keeps awake long enough to have
all these things carried out, there
will be still some hope that persons
now living may see Honolulu in :
fairly wholesome condition.

for argument. Independent legis-
latures and the responsibility of
Cabinet Ministers to the representa-
tives of the people are the two
essential features of every govern
mcnt organization, outside of des-
potism, in the world. The absence
OF these elements is that that pro-
duces a universal expression of lack
of confidence in the stability of the
Hawaiian political system. Such a
state of feeling is inevitable. The
history of two thousand years would
be useless if it did not convince the
present generation of the shadowy
foundation on which any power rests
which is not established in the con-
tidence of the people. Between
over-rcaching power on the one side
and aspiring liberty on the other,
the contest has been keen and con-
tinuous, the scene of strife shifting
from point to point, and the almost
invariable result of every pitched
battle between the two forces being
the curtailing of power and the eX-
pansion of freedom. People will
persist in thinking and acting for
themselves despite all the influences
and schemes which tyranny and
ambition employ to suppress their
andacious questionings. Taxpayers
whose business turns revenues into
the national treasury, and mechanics
and laborers whose industry makes
a country, have long ago established
their right to be consulted in the
disposal of public funds and in the
administration of public affairs.
These privileges can not be pos
sessed by the people of this King
dom while the legislature is little
more than a machine manipulated
at the sweet will of Cabinet minis
tiers. The national representatives
are practically powerless for any pur-
pose other than the levying of taxes.
Whether their Legislative acts find
their way to the pages of the statute
book or to the palace waste basket is an
alternative over which they have no
control. Weakness and submission
are commendable traits in the char
acter of ordinary mortals, but these,
in legislators, should be well spiced
with manly independence, and a
determined assertion of their I'M
doubted rights. The more public
affairs are discussed in this King
dom, the more prominently is the
truth asserting itself that Legislative
reform in the direction of an indie
pendent Legislature and a RESPONSE
BILE Cabinet are indispensable to the
continuance of peace and the return
of prosperity.
