scarcely be expected. If after q
reasonable time has elapsed no re-
suits are visible, they will have just
grounds for dissatisfaction. But we
may say that we are in possession of
information by the last mail from
the Coast, to the effect that quite a
number of tourists had prepared to
come by that steamer, induced to
do so by the persuasions of the
agent just now referred to; but
that when news arrived over of our
quarantine, they naturally declined
to face it. From this it appears
that the gentleman is producing
some effect, and we expect when
our quarantine is raised, the neces-
sity for the maintenance of which it
is to be hoped will shortly disappear,
results will be apparent to us here
in Honolulu.

FRIDAY, FEB. "a, 1883.
POLICE COURT PERJURY.

The gentleman who presides as
judge in the Police Court of Homo
lulu has no easy task to perform.
There are a thousand people around
the streets of Honolulu who could
fill the office better than the present
incumbent; that is, in their own
opinion-an opinion, by the way,
not worthy of very serious conside-
ration. The Judge has to deal with
thousand and one little peccadil-
loes of nature that should never
be allowed to get beyond the family
circles in which they happen, and
these require GOODNESS and patience
qualities which no man ever yet
had the temerity to accuse Judge
Dayton of being deficient in. But
perhaps the greatest difficulty which
that gentleman constantly encoun-
ters, is to sift out the truth from the
volumes OF conflicting testimony to
which he is doomed to listen al
nearly every session of the Court,
and in the face of it reach an equi.
table decision. The Honolulu Po
lice Court is a favorite place fol
"hard" swearing; that is, false
swearing. 1t may be difficult tt
convict the offending parties ant
prove them guilty of perjury; bu
they commit the deed all the same
Witnesses have not the slightest no
ton of the sacredncss of an oath
and violate it with unconcern. i
some method could be invented tC
compel them to speak the truth
to the best of their knowledge anc
belief, our Police Magistrate woulc
find the righteousness of his duties
very much relieved.

OUR TOURIST AGENT.

The pecuniary profit to the people
of these islands resulting from
tourist travel was briefly pointed
out in these columns on Saturday
last, and the wisdom of policy
tending to increase the number of
visitors to our shores intimated.
Some of our business men fully re-
cognise the Importance of this pro-
life source of ready revenue, and
are prepared to contribute reason
able amount towards the cost of eff
forts for its enlargement. A num-
ber of these gentlemen agreed few
months ago, each to pay a stipulated
sum monthly to defraY the expenses
of an agent ON the Coast, whose
duty it should be to induce tourists
to come down here. An agent was
engaged accordingly, and is now at
work over there.
Hitherto, so far as we can see
here in Honolulu, the agents efforts
have not been productive OF much
good, and some of the contributors
towards the funds for paying expen-
ses appear to be getting a little i'm
patient. These gentlemen should
consider, however, that immediate
fruit perceptible to them here could
