Rumors About Beeeher.

NEW York, August 24th.-Rumors have
recently been afioat that Beecher is to be
retired from Plymouth Church The ru-
mors are denied almost officially. The
World says one reason is that of Beecher's
attitude during the recent campaign.
Another fact is that the divine is rapidly
nearing the age of four score, and there
fore will soon be unable to fulfill many of
the duties demanded by such an exacting
congregation. Still others, it is said, are
determined TO dispense with Beecher's ser

JAPANESE IMMIGRANTS.

Tie arrival of a Japanese steamer
with 973 immigrants is an event of
more than passing interest. No other
class of labor yet introduced to these
Islands promises such satisfactory re-
suits as the japanese. By this arrival,
however, there is a great disparity
between the sexes, there being only
So females to 93S males. So far as
manual labor is concerned this may
be satisfactory, but looked upon from
social and economic grounds it is re-
grettable. Women are as much
wanted as men-indeed, more SOTO
build up the fabric of this country.
Mr.. Irwin, Hawaiian Charge DAT
flares at Toxic, who was a passenger
by the japanese steamer, reports that
there were $4,000 applicants for pas
sages, which sets the question of sup
ply at rest. He, however, rejected
all applicants except those who were
practical agriculturists and young
men. Three classes of applicants
were rejected whOlIy--those who had
not performed their full military
service in the Japanese army; those
who belonged to the old military
order; and lastly, fishermen. We
think the Hawaiian Government
and planters will approve Mr.. TWINS
method of selection.
It is a matter for deep regret that
infectious disease should have broken
out among the passengers, but the
fact that no death occurred during the
voyage is a proof of the high average
condition of the health of the immi-
grants. This being the case, we an
ticipate that the medical staff at the
quarantine station will soon be able
to master the disease, which has APP
peared only in it's mildest form. We
understand that in addition to iso-
lating the sick and those who show
suspicious systems, the health
authorities will separate those who
are well into groups of convenient
numbers, keeping them quite apart
from each other. This will still
further tend to limit the area OF in
lection, and will enable those groups
which are unquestionably well to be
discharged from quarantine earlier
than they would otherwise proba-

DIRECT TRADE WITH JAPAN.

We understand that the japanese
Government are anxious to promote
direct trade with Honolulu and San
Francisco. Should a Japanese steam
ship line be established on this route
it would of course take in Hongkong,
making Yokohama and Honolulu
way ports, and San Francisco the
American terminus. This enterprise
would be of very great commercial
value to Honolulu and the industries
of this Kingdom, because it would
give us direct and regular steamer
connection with Japan, to which we
must for the future look for our labor
supply. The Japanese Government
are willing to give subsidy of $780,
900 a year, and this Kingdom may be
asked to contribute.

nurses from abroad than continue iGu
Nothing has been done in the matter,
and no interest whatever appears to
be taken in the condition of these I'M
happy females, even by their own
sex. There are female organizations
in Honolulu for great variety Of
objects, but when it comes down to
the practical work of humanity we
don't find many Of them to the fore.
Why not take our charitable institu-
tons into the scope Of local female
philanthropy. There is a wide field
for usefulness open. Let charita
BILE, Christian women step into it and
see that our public institutions are
properly managed, at least so far as
female inmates are concerned. We
do not know whether anything inn
proper has taken place in our lunatic
asylum, but we do know that oppor-
tunities exist, and that human nature
is not less degraded here than in New
England, for example, where great
scandals have grown out of precisely
similar conditions. The following
editorial note from the Rochester
Democrat and Chronicle" will suf-
ficiently justify what we have writ
ten in this relation:
Scandalous stories about the manage
ment of the Massachusetts, insane asylum
and other charitable institutions are coming
to light. It appears that officials and at
tendants have been sustaining improper re-
Iations with female patients. The Buffalo
Courier" makes the excellent suggestion
that such scandals might be avoided by
placing female patients under the care Of
those of their own sex. ''In our day. it
says, ''unless the iniquities, to which women
are subjected are the theme Of constant dis
cussion, and when women are seeking en-
Ipoyment in every avenue of business and
industry. it is singular that no sticklers for
their rights are found to urge the propriety
and justice of giving to women exclusively
the management of public institutions for
the care or for the punishment of feeble
minded or criminal women"

The Australian Mail Service.

The Gazette" published a very san
guine statement regarding projected
fast Australian mail service, on the au-
thority of Captain Weber, of the Zea-
landia. 1t should, however, be borne in
mind that no Australian Government con-
tributes to this service, which is now, and
has been since November last, wholly
maintained by New Zealand. Nor has
New South Wales SO far given any hint
that it would renew it's contribution.
Doubtless it would be very good thing
for Honolulu if a couple of "Atlantic
racers" were put on this line, but there is
no money IN the trade or service to war
rant the expense.
In this connection Postmaster General
Whitney informs US that Captain Weber
stated to him, in reply to inquiries as to
whether the service would be kept up
after November, that nothing was yet set
tied; but that full power had been given
by the contractors to enter into an en-
gagement with the New South Wales and
New Zealand Governments for a rapid
service 10 Oe pGFIOTLneu III 20 uhyS' Glt44o
between Sydney and London via Homo
lulu and San Francisco. The agent is
fully empowered to biud his principals
to commence the new service from the
1st of January, 1886, and to continue it
on the basis of % days schedule. 1t
is not improbable, Mr.. Whitney thinks,
that the forked service from Fiji to Auck-
land and Sydney may be adopted, though
Captain Weber did not refer to it. This
service, we may add, was dropped at the
request of the contractors, who were una
BILE to maintain the five ships needed to
run it. A direct service to Sydney might
call at Kandavau, but there is neither
mail, freight nor passenger trade to war
rant it, and as New Zealand has sub
sidized direct steamship line between
that colony and Fiji, it will not be likely
to pay foreign steamship company to
destroy the traffic it is building up with
local steamers.

BLACKBERRIEs would grow to per-
lection in this climate, in moist and
sheltered spots. It is one of the most
profitable crops raised on the Coast.
A small rancher in Napa county a
few years ago cleared 500 an acre
from his blackberry patch, and he is
doing as well yet for aught we know
to the contrary. He was near a great
consuming market, however, and
similar results might not be made
here; but we certainly should do as
we'll as ranchers in San Bernardino
valley, San Diego county, California,
do. The San Diego "Sun" bears
testimony to the fact that in 1884 a
Mr.. Penman, living in the aforemen-
toned valley, made over $3.50 from
less than an acre in blackberries.
There are many little valley hooks
on this island where similar results
might be had. Blackberries would
sell we'll in Honolulu.

CALIFORNIA cherries are in active
demand in Chicago and other East
ern points at present. A ten-acre
cherry patch at Petaluma last year
yielded as much money as 700 acres
in wheat. The superiority of the
fruit of the Golden West over all
competitors was demonstrated at the
New Orleans Exposition, hence the
increased demand, in the great
American cities, for California fruit.
This will tend to increase the price.
AS we depend upon California for our
fruit supply in Honolulu this is an
important consideration. Why not
raise enough fruit to meet the local
demand, anyhow?

Questionable Loyalty.

We are accustomed to hear a good
deal of the loyalty of Canada to the
British throne, but a recent transac-
ton in Montreal casts shadow over
its loyalty and raises a doubt as to
the permanent connection of the Do
minion with the United Kingdom.
The following from an American pa
per is a summary of what took place
upon the occasion referred to:
CAT a banquet of the National
Club in Montreal, on the I'd June, the
toast, The Independence of Canada,
was drunk with great enthusiasm,
and was responded to by the Mayor
of Montreal; while the toast, The
Queen was received in silence.
Among the $50 guests at the banquet
were the Mayors of six Canadian
cities and a number of the members
of the Provincial Parliament. The
object of the feast was ito give denial
to the assertion made by the oppOsi-
ton and the English press, that there
were no men of prominence in Can
ada who favor independence The
speakers declared imperial federation
to be impracticable, and said if there
was to be any further federation it
would inevitably be with the United
States.n

C. 7. U. will be held on Thursday afternoon

cause are cordially invited.

Company are requested to meet at the Office

Governor Hoadly's message is very
lengthy, but it contains some excel
lent suggestions. He recommends a
license clause in the Constitution and
on this question he says there are
but three courses that may be taken,
which ere prohibition, legislative
contio oil and license. Prohibition he
rules out as being impracticable and
not wanted by the the people. Leg
islative control he thinks would leave
the whole subject as unsettled as
ever, each Legislature aiming to ex-
ercise control over the traffic in a
different way. The only practicable
plan of %effectually settling the ques-
ton to the satisfaction of all concern
ed and for the good of the general
public is by a "license with gradual
ed taxation" This plan will, Gov.
Hoadly thinks, put the traffic under
restraint, remove most of the evils
that grow out of it, get the question
out of politics and satisfy everybody
but the cranks and extremists. The
message condensed will be found on
our. outside.

EDITOR DEMoCRAT:-As the atteu-

on the revival at the NJ. +. Church,
love feasts and testimonials, some
from pure motives, other judging
from expressions and GESTURES are
from malice towards those who do
not conform with the teaching of the
above mentioned society.
I would be pleased to express my
opinion through the columns ofyour
paper so my views may not be mis-
construed. In expressing my views
l shall use the language of Winwood
Reid, "only asking for myself the
same freedom of speech others of less
calibre USE" On last Sunday eve
the assertion vas used that there
were men in this country that would
tear from us the God that we wor
SHIP" they are not the ignorant nor
the low, hut the scientific men of the
age; if the assertion be true that the
scientific men of the age discard the
God you worship. there must be
something looked into if science and
the Bible do not agree the Bible
must be wrong ard science right.
If intellect and science teach that
God worship is idolarty and useless,
if science and intellect teaches that
the seven days wonder it not correct,
it leaves the ignorant and super
stitious to advocate your doctrine.
We will see what science teaches US.
Science teaches that that region of
the universe which is visible to NOR
tai eye, has been named the solar
system. 1t is composed of innumera-
BILE stars, and each star is a white
sun, the center and sovereign of a
world. Our W u is attended by
a company of dark globes, revolving
around in accordance of the law of
gravitation; they also rotate like
joints before the fire, turning first
one side and thea the other to the
central light. The path that is trac-
ed by the outermost planet, is the
limit of the suns domain, which is
too extensive to he measured into
miles. If jockey mounted on a
winner of the Derby had started
when Moses was born and galloped
ever since he would be by this time
about half way I Yet this
world seems large to US because we
are so small. 1t is only a drop in
the ocean of space.
The stars which we see on a beauti-
full night, are also suns as importan.
as u own, and so vast in the dis
