know better. The country is satisfied with
the present Ministry, and are thankful that
the Opposition type Of statesmen are dead
forever
Colonel Spreczels is alluded TO. Colonel
spreckels landed in this Kingdom with
millions of dollars in his pockets. He ex-
pended millions here, paying artisans
and Iaborers the highest wages on record,
and he is looked upon by Us as public
benefactor. Then when the banking house
of Bishop q Co. wanted from hard working
American 20 per cent for exchange who
was returning to his own country by the
last steamer leaving here-he went across
| the street and had his honest earned money
sent for per cent by Irwin d Co. Good
| care he took, you may be sure, TO make
| the thing the talk of the town. Colonel
| Spreckels came to the relief of the shop
| keepers, artisans and laborers by estab-
! fishing this one per cent exchange. Then
Toared the Opposition, revenge, let US cor

| Weekly Rdgcaiian refers to dynamite, warns
the Government to be on the alert to guard
against an explosion at the next meeting OF
the Legislature. The attitude the Weekly
Haasaiion pursues is rebellious and in
furious to the interest of the shop-keepers,
artisans and labOrers. This paper defends
Chinese Sabbath breakers and gambling on
Sunday.
Such a course must be expected from dis
appointed office seekers, who vent theil
spleen against the present Government, il
the columns of the Weekly HalCaiian.
We are becoming tired Of this bewailinG
moan week after week.
The Government has our heartfelt thanks
for the action taken by them regarding tn,
unjust demands of the Chamber of Com

SILK CULTURE.

An afternoon contemporary has
an article and letter on silk cul-
ture on these islands. The cores
pondent says that "the experiment
has already been made on these
islands, and the adaptability of the
soil and climate for the silk worm
and it's food fully proven"
Such being the case, the question
naturally arises: Why was the in
dustry abandoned? and the answer is
this: the Sunday laws prevent any
work from being done on the Sab
bath, and the natives were taught
that it was sinful to gather the null
berry leaves for food for the worms,
to clean out their cages, in short, to
care for them as their nature imperi-
lively demands. The law remains
the same as it did then, and, we re-
greet to say, that the unreasoning
worms nature has not yet changed
to suit that law.
So the first thing that would be re-
CURED in opening up this industry
again would be to pass a law per-
hitting the silk worm to be cared
for on the Sabbath as horses and
men are. They must be fed.

Currency.

Mr.. EDIToR:-The majority of the COM
munity, particularly the shop-ksepers, arti-
sans and laborers are not in the slightest
degree alarmed by the course adopted by
the Chamber of Commerce and the banking
house of Messrs. Bishop & Co. regarding the
currency question. Nothing better could
be expected from such quarters.
We shop-keepers, artisans and laborers
well know what these firms aim alto lower
wages, drive US from the Kingdom, send
ourselves and families out, to be at the
mercy of the world.
The planters in session called aloud
"open the ports to Chinese immigration
the white men are drunkards. We want
Cinnamon" The Chamber of Commerce
assembled in convocation to dictate to the
Government and country, then follows the
banking house Of Bishop & Co., bowling for
gold, and they drain the Treasury and hoard
the gold in their vaults. Their threats and
unjust demands have been of no avail. The
Government has stood firm, and are APP
plauded for so doing.
Then their Mahdi scribe, apostle and
prophet comes to the front with a feeble
apology for his confederates; proclaims
aloud there is no conspiracy against the
Ministers. Too thin, too thin, the people

of silver in their vaults at that time
but the writer does not venture to
name any sum, or support his in
situation with figures. The fact
above stated of their having to draw
silver from the Treasury disposes at
once of this insinuation. Their action
did more than anything else to cause
a scare. AS a matter of business, it
was very poor policy, and will be re-
membered against them for years.
Then they set the business men Of the
town to badger the Government to
bring in at least 100000 gold coin
before there was time to find out
what coin was actually needed for
circulation. The constant talk and
discussion about this added to the
uneasiness of the public. When it
was found that a certain class of the
community was troubled with too
much silver, ways and means were
devised by the Government, and at its
soon as the super-abundance of silver
in certain hands had thus been done
away with, and could no longer be
used as as a means of pressure on the
Government a new engine was de.
vised. " Stop the circulation of GER
| tificates." Again it was Bishop &
| Co. that led the way to maintain
the "scare" among the populace. How
can people believe anything else thar
that this persistent endeavOr on theil
part, and on that of those who asso
ciate themselves with them, has TO
its object to make money by {
corner" in gold Human nature
will have to be cast in differen

may be a most grossly unjust inter
pretation-no doubt it is; but thel
it is the natural one, and, as such, i
necessarily the universal one.

some Valuable Pictures.

The wooden building in the west corner
OF Aliiolani Hale yard, known as the Tax
Office, is now permanently occupied by the
Board of Health. On Thursday, the 5th
instant, the Board moved in, and the west
room of the building containing trunks and
boxes Of old Government documents and
sundry other articles was cleared out, and
some of the many trunks and boxes were
put in place. There was found slowed away
in one corner of the room several valuable
oil pain tings and steel plate engravings.
The steel plate engravings were found to
be those of Her Majesty Queen Victoria,
His late Royal Highness the Prince Con-
sort, Sir Walter Scott and Mr.. Edward
Everett.
The oil paintings, two in number, arein
perfect order. One is that of the late Hon.
William Richards, and the other was recog-
nized by some as that of His late Majesty
Kamehameha IL, and others say it is that
of His late Majesty Kamehamha Ill, in his
young days, and others of the late Gov. Boki,
or Gov. Kinimaka. But still others say this
picture as that of the late Hon. Haalilio,
who in company with the late Mr. Richards
went on a diplomatic mission to England
and other European Courts, and whose re-
mains were brought home and buried here.
These oil paintings will no doubt before
long be restored, and be preserved for many
years yet to come, for they arc such works
of art fit to grace the walls of Iolan
Palace, where they now are.
One other largo picture was found to be
that of Napoleon l., daring some seige OF
plague, who, in company with some of his
officers, fare going amongst the sick or dis
tressed people.
Besides the above, several Photographic
negatives were discovered amongst which
we noticed one of His Majesty, the late
Hon. Elisha H. Allen, the late Hon. DR.. G
P. Judd, and others.

Hard Times in the United States.

IChicago Correspondent of British Trade Journall
Trade in the United States in it's
every department is in a most unsat-
isfactory condition. So far as can be
seen by a sweep of its horizons there
is not a CLINT of silver lining to the sombre
cloud that on all sides closes in the view.
The journals are daily filled with failures of
banks, manufacturing companies and mer-
camille houses; with the shutting down of
iron, steel, wooden, cotton, carpet thread,
silk and other mills; ard with notices of
cuts in the rates of wages, which in most in
stances have been submitted to, but which
in many have been resisted by strikes. In
this city it is estimated that from $4,000 to
$4,000 mechanics clerks and laborers are
wholly out of employment. Mendicancy
promises to become with us a permanent
institution. The working classes are be-
coming positively menacing. On the Goth
of last month--the day appointed by the
Government, both Federal and State, as one
of general thanksgiving for the mercies and
bounties of the Creator-some 5000 men,
with banners inscribed with legends that
could not be more pronounced if borne by
the Nihilists of Russia, the Intransigeants of
Spain, Irredenta of Italy, or the Anarchists
of France, paraded the streets of the city.
They took good care to march through the
localities occupied by the wealthier classes.
They were accompanied by bands playing
airs dear to the souls of the socialists, and
they shouted derisiyely and defiantly as they
passed the residence of some capitalist more
noted on account of his wealth and social or
political prominence than his fellows. Since
the date of this remarkable procession, in
tended at once as a menace and warning by
those who have nothing to those whom
these irreconcilables charge with having
seized upon all the good things of life, the
situation in the world Of trade has not one
whit improved. On the contrary, things
appear to be going from bad to worse.
Prices of all products have been rapidly de-
Ginning; the sherifs of the various counties
In the State and nation have been levying
upon bankrupt firms; mercantile collections
are daily growing more difficult; railway,
mining and bank stocks have been steadily
declining in value; failures have increased in
magnitude and number; in fact, in no single
direction is there any visible sign of i'm
provement, or of letting up from the
present most discouraging outlook.

THE Gazette of yesterday makes a
comparison between the decrease of
natives from 1878 to 1884, and certain
figures which it takes from the AID
vERTIsER of March, 1879, which lat
ter represent the per centage of de-
crease of natives and hoLf-eOhites COM
bined; and on the basis of this blunder
undertakes to contradict our statement
that the decrease of natives and half
whites combined is less for the period
1854 than that of 1S72-78. Another
proof that the Gazette is always at

At a public meeting of citizens of
Sitka, Alaska, held July IA, resolu-
tions of regret upon the retirement of
j. H. Kinkead as governor of the ter
ritory were adopted. The resolutions
include expressions of satisfaction as to
the public, life and personal worth Of
the retiring governor, regret because
of his retirement before he could fairly
put the machinery of the government
in motion, and sympathy on account
of present bodily affections. Mr..
Kinkead first reached Alaska in 1867,
and has always been considered pio-
neer citizen. A copy of the resolu-
tions were ordered to be handed the
retiring governor and published in the
coast papers. They are signed by M.
P. Berry as chairman and Edward II.
Brown as secretary.
The Corvallis gazette. [volume] (Corvallis, Or.) 1862-1899, 1885-08-07

Senator and Mrs. Stanford, of Cal
ifornia, have aent to the Grant cet-
tage at Mt. McGregor floral memo
rial representing "Gates Ajar," formed
of white and purple immortelles, and
each gate is six feet high and five feet
wide. 1t is said to be most beautiful
and suggestive, the gates standing
slightly open, with an arch above in
which appears the name, U. S. Grant,
set in flowers. Speaking of this an
exchange says: "Much has been said
in the last few years about the ten
dency to go to great extremes in flu
neral display and certainly the country
never had more striking illustration
of this tendency than now. 1t is
proper that the burial rites of thegreat
should be conducted with stately SOL
emnity and honor, but costly flowers, a
gorgeous casket, heavy with ttappings
of velvet and mountings of silver--on
exhibition for hours before a gaping
and curious crowd-strikes a chord
that jars painfully, and forces criti-
cism to lips that are reluctant to csn-
sure either motives or methods in the
presence of death. If, however, there
is ever reform in the matter of fu-
neral extravaganza and display it must
begin with those Who can afford these
things, but from choice bury their
dead without vulgar os stententation.
