The latest advices from New Bedford
state that sperm oil has been in fair re-
quest and sales were made of $50 barrels
in two parcels, recently imported, at so
cents gallon, for manufacture. A sale,
too, was made of fair hump-backed
whale oil on private terms for manu-
facture. Of whalebone, sales had been
made of 10000 pounds Arctic, reported
at 81 IS, and 1000 pounds South Sea at
81, for home use and export.
The latest London circular saws that
sperm oil is unchanged. There are
sellers of bottlenose oil for August and
September shipments at a22 per ton.
No sales of whalebone had been made.
The stock of oil and bone in the United
States on the 18th inst was as follows ::
Sperm oil, 16,815 barrels; whale oil i,

Identification of Chinese and provision
to permit legislation against foreign or
nonresident ownership of land. A sug-
gestion as to such amendment has been
submitted to us by a member of the
Legislature, which is approved and
earnest consideration whereof is sug-
gested.
Legislation pertaining to any class or
race shall be lawful in the following
cases only. Laws regulating or prohib-
iting the acquiring of estates in land by
aliens, non-residents or Chinese. Laws
providing for the registration, classified
ton and Identification of Chinese or any
class thereof, other than those who
severally own and pay taxes upon prop
erty in the Kingdom, of the value of one
thousand dollars or over. Laws prohib-
iting the immigration and introduction
of Chinese in excess of the actual re-
quirements of the agricultural indus
tries of the country, and laws providing
for the deportation of Chinese introduced
for such agricultural purposes after the
expiration of the time for which they
were introduced, which time shall in no
case exceed five years"
The above proposition seems to go far
enough and with an unthinking or vio-
lent legislature very dangerous and in
furious legislation might result. With
House like the present there would be
no danger, for when it comes to a final
vote the strong conservative element
has so far prevented injurious and vio-
lent legislation.

THE select committee will probably
report this morning on the proposed
amendment to the Constitution, called
the Chinese Amendment OF course,
no one knows the exact recommends
ton to be made by them, but from what
has been said by members of the COM
mittee, and it is no secret, the recon-
mendation simply adds more provisos
and exceptions to the proposition dis
cussed by the Legislature on Thursday.
We're it not that the committee is COM
posed of earnest men who really desire
proper constitutional amendment, it
might be an open question whether the
intent is not to kill the whole PROPOSE
ton, for the vote of Thursday on the
motion to lay on the table indi-
Gated that this proposition will not
secure the twenty-seven votes neces-
sary to its passage at this session. The
objection by the House, or by those who
will not vote for this proposition but
desire more amendment, is the sweep
ing, overwhelming nature of it's terms,
and it is probable that no amount of
provisos and exceptions which still
leave the Objectionable clauses will
satisfy these gentlemen or induce them
to vote for the amendment. 1t is prob
able that a considerable majority of the
voters of the country earnestly believe
that our Constitution should contain
some protection against an overwhelm-
ing incursion of Chinese. No one wants
to see the country so filled with Chinese,
who will never adopt our civilization,
that all business and the trades will be
monopolized by them, and Europeans
will be compelled to depart. Protection
to prevent this is what we require and
nothing more 1t is very dangerous
power to permit of any class legislation,
and only so much under any circum-
stances should be allowed as is neces-
sary to absolutely protect the country
against Chinese incursion. We believe
that some amendment is necessary to
absolutely secure this. It should be
directed toward the prevention and con-
troll of immigration, the registration and

SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER l, 1888

IT IS rumored that His Majesty was
assisted in his veto of the coffee bill by
certain persons, presumably members of
the "back-stairs cabinet" who are bit
terly opposed to Mr.. Forsyth. Such
persons ought to receive the contempt
they deserve. Such advice has the de-
merit of being doubly bad, in that all
interference of such kind is vicious and
destructive of constitutional principles,
and what in this case is quite as bad, it
is an indecency to make use of the King
to vent personal spite. The bill passed
the House by large majority. 1t is
thus declared to be the will of the
country, for the principle OF our Consti-
tuition is majority control, and it should
thus stand. Any one advising the veto
under these circumstances becomes in
some senses an enemy to the public veal.

as "gutter snipes." Until cold De-

a class as this, they have been rara avis
There are others here equally as we'll, if
not better posted than Mr.. Forsyth,
who have as yet made no pretentious
claims on the Government for means to
further schemes of their own. AS re-
CARDS Mr.. Forsyth's testimonials as an
expert, would it not be better to wait for
the results of the growth of trees planted
and the showing of returns for money
appropriated, than to rely on a mans
credentials alone?

CHAPTER 81 of the laws of 1884 grants
to William r. Austin and others the ex-
elusive right for thirty years to lay a
street railway in Honolulu. (The fran
chise is curiously made exclusive by
section 81. These rights were extended
by chapter Is of the laws of 1886. The
time for completing the track was ex-
tended for one year by an Act passed
at the present session. Bill 40 of
this session, duly passed, grants to the
present owners of the franchise still
further rights, new streets, ETC., still
with the thirty years exclusive franchise.
An Act, in 1884, grants certain persons
an exclusive franchise for twenty-five
years to supply Honolulu with gas. Bill
90 of the present session grants an ex-
elusive franchise for ten years for a sub
marine telegraph. The Oahu Railway
bill proposes an exclusive franchise of
twenty years, and excites immense OPP
position on the ground that exclusive
franchises are bad, that they are opposed
to public right, are against the interest
of the people, etc. Noble Young, in
answer to question, said that the ex-
elusive franchise business was thing of
the past, that we are entering into
new era, etc. Unfortunately for his po-
sition, he fails to remember that he
voted and worked for the passage of bill
10 and for the bill extending the time
for the street railway to lay it's tracks.
He also favored the passage of the sub
marine cable exclusive franchise. Bill
10 was finally passed August 22d, so it
must be assumed that the new era began
sometime between August 22d and Aug
ust 3lst. Noble Young's remark is taken
simply as an illustration of the opposi-
ton to this bill. 1t is very hard to see
where the true ground of the opposition
lies. In view of the prompt and easy
passage of the exclusive franchise clauses
of the other bills, it is pretty safe to as
sumo that if this bill had read: "The
Minister of the Interior is hereby auth
orized to contract with John Smith of
London, ETC., etc., to build railways on
the Island of Oahu, with an exclusive
right for thirty years, " ETC., etc., it would
have passed without qualm or single
contortion. But, as this franchise is for
one of our own citizens, and not a
stranger, it looks as if somebody feared
he might make some money out of this
road instead of the profit going to total
stranger.
