Honolulu Notes.

BY the brig William G Irwin, just ar
rived at San Francisco from Honolulu, we
have dates to December 1st.
The independence of the Hawaiian ISL
ands was celebrated with a great deal of
enthusiasm on the 2Sth of November.
The hackmen Of Honolulu will form a
protective union if possible. They are
afflicted with deadheads who ride, but will
not pay.
On the afternoon of the oath of Novem-
Der, Charles Larisch, sugar planter at
Kaneobe, Oahu, committed suicide by
shooting himself through the head Do
mestic troubles are assigned as the cause.
Word has come from the volcano. Kill
auea, that there is unusual activity in the
crater. The new lake has filed up to the
rim and is running over.
The Marquis of Teano, member of the
Royal Geographical Society of Italy, and
corresponding member of the Royal Lon
don Geographical Society and Academy of
Sciences of Paris, besides other scientific
bodies in various parts of the world, was in
Honolulu.

ERRONEOUS CALCULATION.

4 committee of citizens, addressing the
people Of Sacramento on the high license
question, places the number of drinking
booths in the city at $50. On the basis
We assume, of about 1900 voters in the
city, the address fixes the number 16S as
representing the voters for each saloon.
and 10G voters as actual patrons per
saloon. This is erroneous With $50
saloons, 100 persons to each saloon, gives
us population of $4,000, which is what is
claimed for Sacramento. If now we esti-
mate the voters as one in every six, we
have 4, l66 of voting population, and as a
result we have as supporting the 80
drinking places, less than II voters for
each saloon. Allowing a reasonable per-
centage for aliens, women and minors con-
tributing to the support Of drinking
places, at the broadest limit we have one
saloon for every 20 patrons, or one
for every 100 of the population-men,
women and children, of all ages, degrees
and nationalitieS. But there should be
allowed some percentage of support to
saloons by the transient public. five place
these patrons at 500 per day-an exceed
ingly high figure, however-we have %
patrons TO each saloon. Now it must be OBJ
vious to any intelligence, that saloon
cannot be maintained upon such limited
patronage. The explanation is that there
is class of low drinking places little bet
Ter than robbers roosts," where the profit
IS not upon the sale of liquors, but is
secured by villainous methods. is, there
fore, reasonable to expect that saloon keep
ers who do not resort to such means, will
favor the blotting out of these low places,
ard only high license can do it.

Now THAT a sensible plan of action has
been agreed upon by the citizens meetings
of Sacramento for the Encouragement of
Chinese competition with American indus
try, 1t is to be hoped that the business men
will give, not only their sympathy, but
their active assistance to the scheme. 1t
may call for some self-sacrifce; it will call
for some labor; it does demand time and
energy. But how better can business con-
serve its own interests than by encouraging
the employment of men and women who
contribute to business prosperity, as every
white consumer does? Results will not be
Immediate; the scheme adopted requires
patience; 1t may not create an exodus of
Chinese at once, but it will, if faithfully
carried out, supplant Chinese labor with
white labor, and thus remove discomfort,
enlarge the wage-earning capacity of men
who contribute to the well-being of the
community, and exercise an influence
upon other communities that will, in due
time, spread all over the coast, and render
1t Improbable for the Chinese to longer
maintain the contest in which they have
thus far been successful, that of driving
from our midst an element that alone can
aid us in building great and prosperous
State.

that free institutions are to be overthrow
by the midnight conspiracies of Socialists
and dynamiters. At the same time it is
the hight of folly to refuse, for that reason,
to look at matters as they are or to esti-
mate such schemes as of trivial impor-
lance. The supremacy of the laws in this
country will be maintained, but neverthe-
less, all attempts to subvert authority or
create disorder demand prompt action and
severe punishment. By such administra-
ton only can government command re-
spect The Socialistic element is not large,
but it is vicious. 1t cannot overthrow the
Government, but it can do harm to legiti-
mate industry, limit investment and cripple
business, to say nothing of turning public
sympathy away from the legitimate efforts
Of the laboring class to better itself. So.
while the pitiful conspirators in San Fran
cisco must not be made martyrs, they must
not be wholly ignored and allowed to con-
tinue the work of poisoning the minds of
the employed and the dependent population,
nor to hatch out murder and disorder.
The authorities at San Francisco have,
thus far, acted wisely, and are to be COM
mended.

WE invite attention to brief report in
our local columns this morning of a work
ingmen's meeting held here yesterday. 1t
is notable, because Of the expressions of
the speakers. Two of them told the wage
winners some. plain truths. A business
man, lawyer, or any other than a labor
ing man, who would have so spoken,
would simply have antagonized and en-
FILTERED his hearers. For a newspaper to
give the laborers the same advice,
would invite upon it their uttered re-
breaches: and the counsel would
fall upon Inexpensive ground. But
here are men intimately affiliated with the
workers, who tell them very bluntly that
the Chinaman has displaced them
largely because the white labor
er's habits in so very many
cases do not invite the confidence of the
employer class. Of course, there is much
to be said on the other side; that, for in
stance, the employers have been too ready
to seize upon excuses for supplanting
white laborers with the cheaper COMPETE
tors. But in the main the speakers re-
ierred to were right, and the advice they
gave cannot be questioned. Agricultural
employers especially know this to be
true. The crossroads rum-mill and the
| country tavern are the enemies of farm
laborers. They render them uncertain in
habit and unreliable, and visitation of
them by agricultural laborers is the one
great dread Of the farmer. If the laboring
classes would win the full support
and deserve the full sympathy of the
employing class, they must remove
the reproach that unhappily attaches
TO so many of them. They must
prove that the white laborer in California
is as trustworthy, frugal, sober and indus
trious and as careful of the interest in
trusted to him as are laborers in the more
settled East, where the nomadic character
does not so largely distinguish them, and
where there is higher ambition than to
earn wages six days to spend them foolish
ly at the end of the week When the
American workingman proves his greater
reliability and capacity by sobriety and in
! dustry, the complaint viii have no footing
upon which to stand-that the farm hands
are treated with Indifference, given to un-
derstand that no confidence is reposed in
them, and that they have no assurance of
permanency of position. The working
man in both town and country must treat
whisky as an outlaw and an enemy, and
emulate the example of those of their own
following who by their habits prove them
selves worthy of sympathy and active
assistance.

What Has Been Done in Congress.

WASHINGTON, December 20th.-Since the
present session of Congress began. 72S bills
and joint resolutions have been introduced
in the Senate; and Z, one of which origi-
mated in the House, have been passed by
that body. Twelve hundred and forty-seven
Executive messages, containing about 500
nominations, have been sent by the Presi-
dent to the Senate, and been referred to the
proper committees, but no nominations
have been confirmed. Two treaties, one
relating TO the boundary line between this
country and Mexico, and the other provid-
ing for the settlement of the claims of GER
tain American citizens against Venezuela,
have been sent to the Senate for ratification.
Twenty-four bills and joint resolutions
have been introduced in the house of Rep
resentatives, and four, two of which origi-
mated in the Senate, have been passed.
The Governorship of Alaska.
WASHINGTON December 20th.-Oyer the
name of A. 2. Swineford, of Marquette.
Mich, which was sent to the Senate last
week for Governor of Alaska, bitter fight
has already begun. He was a Commits
sioner from the State of Michigan last win
ter to the New Orleans Exposition After
few months service he was called away
by urgent private business, and left his
assistant in charge. His assistant charges
that Swineford drew pay from the State
treasury and withheld the salary due him.
He has filed with the Senate Committee
on Territories charges of ENLIGHTENMENT
against Governor Swineford, claiming
the amount of money so withheld to be in
the neighborhood of $1,000. Governor
Swineford is at Sitka, where he arrived
September 10Th, and he is not aware of the
charge against him. Several of his friends
arrived here this week, and will do all in
their power to establish his defense. He is
Q man of excellent reputation, and it is be-
lieyed that the attack on him is largely
matter of spite and without foundation in
fact. Governor Swineiord has already

removed it falls in again, and the men are
now laboring under great difficulties.
