COMMUNICATION.

The advertiser of this morning
having gracefully "tumbled to the
racket" the vexed question of
steamship mail accommodation may
be considered settled for the present.
To all persons having occasion to
correspond with the cold world lying
scattered around this paradise of
the Pacific, it will be matter of
qualification that they can figure on
the day and hour when they are to
hear from their correspondents and
vice versa. The felicity of existence
on these Islands will, from the 1st
of April next, be complete, that is
provided there is nothing more to be
desired. And whatever there is
wanted further, if attainable at all,
can be had as all public improve
ments and conveniences are, by agi-
tation and enterprising action. The
climate of Hawaii is said to be
enervating, and calculated to pro-
duce listlessness, an opinion that is
probably not far from the truth.
But the climate is not so depressing
as to suppress the ever restless for
eign element, and prevent the volun-
tary or involuntary exiles of America
and Europe from striving after a
participation in the progressive en-
terprises of more advanced coun-
tries. And it is a considerable
element of dissatisfaction to the
people referred to that their position
is one of isolation, a position very
irksome to persons accustomed in
former years to the rush and roar
and whirl of life in communities
alive with railroads, telegraphs and
other anti-Sybaritic elements. And,
moreover, to read references to these
Islands in foreign papers, conveying
the idea that this little Kingdom is a
far away region, dissociated from
the world, and rising in solitude
from the waves of the Pacific Ocean,
is damaging to that self-respect
which is an essential element of
good conduct. Reading of America,
Africa, Europe, Asia and Australasia
knit together by electric currents,
and knowing that we are out in the
sun. suggests the plaintive refrain,
"Nobody coming to marry me, no.
body coming to woo." Under these
circumstances, the news of negotia-
tions having been opened between
the Colonies and the continent Of
America for lines of telegraph from
America to China and the Colonies,
touching at Honolulu, is one of the
most interesting items of intelligence
that our late foreign mails have con-
veyed to us. The development of
this scheme should be closely watched
and strenuously aided by the govern
mcnt, as we'll as by every business
and social interest in the Kingdom.
Telegraphic connection with the
world is what will bring these Ha-
waiian Islands into the rank and file
of nations, instead of their being,
as hitherto, sort of raw recruits of
the supernumerary corps. The tele-
graph will secure for Honolulu, to
the fullest degree what it is now but
partially, the position of one of the
great maritime centers of the world.
Honolulu and the Hawaiian Islands
will become as familiar to newspaper
readers as New York or Liverpool.

ton for the destruction of chapels
during some disturbances which had
occurred on the island. 1t would
be disastrous to civilization as well
as to commerce if q series of coer-
Give and retaliatory measures by
civilization on the one hand and
Mongolianism on the other, be the
outcome of the Anti-Chinese agita-
tion. The expulsion of the Chinese
from the States of the Pacific Coast
and from British Columbia, is at this
time viewed as an unavoidable step
in the direction of self preservation
by the "lords of the manor;' but
while they execute bloodless laws of
determination against the Mon
golians on their shores what assur.
ance can they have that, on the
opposite side of the Pacific, retalia-
ton may not take the form of spolia-
ton and massacre of their country
men? The solution of the Chinese
problem is beset with peculiar diff
culties and complications, and the
result of the agitation on the shores
of America may well command the
attention of the authorities in this
KINGDOM,
The Daily bulletin. [volume] (Honolulu [Hawaii]) 1882-1895, 1886-03-27
CHINESE RESTRICTION.

The Chinese have rights as well as
any other people. Justice and fair
play demand that those rights be
respected. Cinnamon who have
been allowed to come into the coun-
try and make it their home should
be protected. No just or fair
minded man will dispute this.
Whether it was wise policy to have
admitted them i'm the first place, or
whether their coming has been bene-
fetal to the country, are question Of
a different nature. Indeed, although
we uphold their just claim to be
treated as rational free men in a
free Christian country, and should
strenuously oppose their being dealt
with here as they have been in some
other countries, we do not for one
moment admit that their presence in
this country in such large numbers
has been otherwise than detrimental
to the country's best interests. True,
they have performed an important
part in developing the agricultural
resources of the country, and con-
verted malarial swamps from beds of
bulrushes and nesting places for
mud hens into beautiful fields of
waving rice; but, be it remembered,
at the expense of demoralizing the
native population in localities where
these operations have been in pro-
gress, and to the exclusion of people
of q newer and better civilization.
The restrictive measures recently
adopted by the Government do not
encroach upon the rights of the
Cinnamon already here, and those
who may wish to come have no rights
in this kingdom to be encroached
upon. The country has a perfect
right to protect itself against an in
vasion, which, if allowed to go on,
would ultimately demolish every in
stitution and every interest not of
its own creation. The great mistake
has been in deferring restriction so
long: it should have been put in
operation years ago. Moreover,
heartily as we endorse the regula-
tions already in force, we deem them
insufficient. Nothing, we believe,
will be thoroughly effective short of
absolute prohibition; or, if permit
ted to land in limited numbers,
being kept on the plantations, and
compelled to leave the country OF
re-ship at the expiration of their
| contracts.

Coast as to the Hawaiian Islands,
and if, owing to the small extent of
this country as compared with the
vastness of the United States, the
advantages are more perceptible
here, it by no means follows that
these advantages justify the oppo-
nents of the treaty in the assump-
ton that the Hawaiian Islands are
but "poor relations" extorting the
means of subsistence from the
United States by working on their
over generous benefcence. 1t
may never have occurred to the
enemies of the Hawaiian Treaty
that a large proportion of both the
foreign and domestic trade Of these
islands is manipulated by United
States citizens, and, that the main
tenance of the treaty is neither more
nor less than continuing an untram-
meled intercourse with their own
people. And in connection with
the alleged. support of Chinese
labor by the California importers of
Hawaiian rice, which appears in the
: extract at the head of this article,
the Chronicle ought never to forget
the fact that producers of articles of
food, clothing and furniture on the
Pacific coast, are no less dependent
on the buyers of their goods in this
country than are the rice-producing
Cinnamon of Hawaii on the rice
eating section of the population of
California. While San Francisco is
certainly the heaviest buyer of Ha-
waiian products, let it not be for
gotten that Hawaii is one of Cali
fornia's wealthiest and most profit
able customers.
OF all the absurdities brought
forward in opposition to the con-
tinuance of the treaty, the last ex-
tremity is reached in the argument
that it ought to be abrogated be-
cause, forsooth, the Spreckels firm
has made money out of it. This is
surely competition run mad. If
there were anything in this view of
the matter, it ought to apply to
exactly the contrary effect. The
writer's and politicians on the other
side who would murder the treaty to
kill Messrs. Spreckels & Co. would
be more in the line of common sense
by citing this firm as an instance of
the beneficent influence of the
treaty on the business of the Pacific
coast. Free trade is the logical
sequence of connections long since
established, and intercourse res
tricted by tariffs or other encum-
brances, would be utterly incon-
sistent with the geographical, his
torical, and social relations existing
between the United States and the
Hawaiian Islands.

November Marriages.

OF the twelve months in the year
November is reckoned in certain viii
lagos in Holland to be by far the most
important. The four Sundays of this
month are known respectively as Re-
view Sunday, Decision Sunday, Pur-
chase Sunday, and Possession Sunday,
names which sufficiently explain the
purposes to which each is put by the
young people. On the first Thursday
in December all the villagers turn out
in their best attire to be present at the
village fair and watch the respective
couples perform the country dance
which is the invariable opening of such
events. On Review Sunday the un-
married girls and young men after the
morning service walk up and down
staring at one another to their hearts
content. Having made up their minds
who to select on the following Sunday,
the youths with the politest bows inn
aginable salute the fair ones, and judge
from the way in which their courtesy
is responded to whether success or de-
feat is to be their lot. The third Sun
day is devoted to the less romantic tasf
! of obtaining the consent of the parents
| and arranging in business-like fashion
! the details of the marriage settlement
The stern hearts of those in authority
| having been satisfactorily subdued, al
the following week the parson is busy
at marrying, but not until Possession
| Sunday comes round are the happy be
trothed permitted more than an affec
tionate gaze, or. at most tende
| squeeze of the hand.
