The prosperity and happiness of

Inc prosperity anu happiness ol
people depends largely upon the
administration of their government.
A government can enrich its subjects
and increase their happiness, or it
can drag them down to slavery and
misery. The misery of the past a.
bounds in striking examples of these
truths. whenever the people who
toll and sweat cease to control and
shape the publlc policies of the coun-
try, just SO soon IL. falls into the
hands Of the politicians and avari-
cious men, who manage the maohiner
ry and 30 shape legislation as TO
perpetuate their own pockets etc.

RED TAPE AND BLUE DlSApP0lNT-
MENT.


noying acts of the present Ministers
of the Crown, to some "reformers," i"
is their retention in Office of men
who served the country under the
previous administration. These
"reformers," aforesaid, would de-
capitate, in an official sense, every
one not q member of the League,
who held Government position
prior to the 30th of June last, and
have themselves and their friends
placed in the vacant offices, whether
they are competent to fill them or
not.
Some heads, mostly of narrow
diameter and light weight, have
tumbled. One, at least, however,
amongst the number could not be
correctly specified by these terms.
But the slaughter has not gone far
enough. Everyone should have
been slain, without mercy and with
out exception. AS one vehement
gentleman, whose opinion of his
own Importance TO the community is
too extensive to be measured by n
surveyors chain, puts it, ''every
man who served under the old
regime should be kicked out with
out consideration" The Ministers
not having the capacity to kick to
the extent required, or not having
the disposition to scatter their hoofs
around so ferociously and indiscrim-
inately, and having failed to kick so
strongly and effectively as wished,
have failed to do their duty. So
say some persons, most of whom
probably covet office either for them
selves or their friends.
We do not endorse this opinion.
On the other hand, we commend
Ministers for having had the cour-
age to withstand pressure, and to
retain in their positions many old
public servants who have served the
country efficiently and faithfully.
1t is the duty of Ministers as the
Heads of Departments to see that
subordinate offices arc filed by
proper persons, and if they find i'm
proper persons in office to remove
them with as little delay as possible ;
but it is no part of their duty to
dismiss proper persons, in order to
make room for persons, proper OF
improper, who need or desire the
places.

been productive of much general
good, Notwithstanding many object,
ionable features, has been special

ment, with similar aspirations, have
not been so fortunate. While the
former have red tape, the latter are
walking around with blue disappoint,
ment, and the disappointmentists
unkindly ask, "Who are they, (the
rcd-tapists), that they should take
precedence of us?" and censure the
Ministry for not making room fol
them.
Such is Honolulu, and such is hui
man nature! We were beguiled into
the belief that every man who work,
ed for reform, wanted reform pure
and simple, and desired no personal
advantage other than what he hoped
to receive in common with the peo,
pie in general. We have since
been undeceived.

ADMITTED AND NOT ADMITTED.

4" | admit" " said a gentleman this
morning, "that the sugar planter is
the main-stay of these islands, that
he is the goose which lays the golden
egg, and | would be the last man to
kill such valuable bird; but l do
not admit that he should be allowed
to ovcr-run and swamp the country
with coolies from the Flowcry King

the same opinion.
If the planter prefers Chinese
labor-and he is the best judge of
what he needs-we see no reason
why he should not have all he wants,
provided il is not ultimately set loose
upon the community, to come into
competition with people of western
civilization. When the term of
contract expires, compel to leave the
country or re-ship, as was formerly
done in Tahiti, when Chinese labor
was sought by the cotton planters
there. We are unable TO discover
any very serious difficulty in the
way of such an arrangement. We
do not for one moment suppose that
the planter has any desire to swamp
the country with Cinnamon, or tc

LEGISLATION BY CLAMOR.

The events of June 30th, and the
days Immediately following, and
more particularly the events occur
ring at the close of the legislative
session, have added another to the
many warnings, recorded in history,
i'll reference to the perils of secret
man1uvres and hasty legislation.
The checks and balances of modern
constitutional government, the laws
delays, are only provoking annoy
ances to those people who, like chill
dren, want thing when they want
it Fright off,"
How often in deliberative assem-
blies will these uneasy spirits cry
out for suspension of the rules
Then they rush matters through hur-
riedly, only to find that not having
been well considered, these either
become imperative because of their
manifest inconsistencies, or need
amendments, and still further amend
ments, to make them run smoothly,
if indeed they can be made to run
ut all. What botch has been made
in some of the pieces of legislation
carried through-no not carried
through, only brought forward-at
the last session. Why should the
bill reducing the number of the
Supreme Court Judges have been
passed, and then in the face of its
provisions, still unrepealed, why
was the demand made for the ap-
pointment of another judge? Why
was he so evidently appointed with
the view of settling point in law in
one way, not to provide better secu-
rity for eyenhanded, impartial justice
in the highest tribunal of the land
Does the end justify the means?
Then, too, without any attempt
to carry the point by possible con-
stitutional method by a two-third
negative vote, why was the at
tempt made to force upon the
Legislature a dishonorable and
iniquitous scheme of denying the
veto power of the King? This
was pushed by the ''Hurrah,
boys" style of rushing a measure
through and over all constitutional
limitations. The clamor was raised,
''If you don't agree to this, you are
no better than fool, and worse than
a traitor" Now, it is the turn of
those people, who were called fools
and traitors, to ask some questions,
which cannot be answered with any
easy conscience, or any great peace
of mind. Is the Arch Deceiver fit
person to be the Kings Counsellor
of State and Prime Minister in the
Government? Is not "Honesty the
best policy?" What is gained by
such transactions, as have now be-
come matters of record, but loss of
honor, of influence, of opportunity
for highest aims and services?

Popular AmnseniAnts and Games.

remember, in my youth, when I be-
came fond of books and of study, used
to look upon balls, games and prize
matches as foolish and senseless things,
fit only for silly people who could not APP
preciate the delights of literature. When
became older saw the folly of this no.
ton, and entered into the common games
and amusements of life like other people.
For the customs, games and amusements
of people are the outcome of long years
of experience, the means whereby people
come to relax themselves, and to throw
off the cares Of business. Nay, more;
they are the means of forming acquaint-
ances, of learning the habits, character
and thoughts of each other, and of becom-
ing skilled in social ways, in the power Of
amusing and entertaining others. ST.
Besides, any man that has an eye to see
and an ear to hear can read a whole
volume in some feto ohampetre or in some
open air match of two contending parties.
1t is here that character is exhibited, that
wit, humor and raillery are apt to find
free play; that DISCUSSES are thrown of,
and people show themselves as they are;
and it is here that thousand things
worth knowing may be learned when one
has the art, to learn them. A man who
can enjoy the literature of a people should
be broad enough to enjoy their amuse-
ments, for without this breadth of. char
acter he will never be able to produce
anything that the people will enjoy

the disaster was at once begun. Whole
families were found buried under their
roofs without warning, save that given

A Very Dangerous Experiment.,

Some time ago, in my readings, I
learned of test made among some hum
Der men In the far north. One had given
an account, sitting around the camp fire,
of how a companion had committed sui
eide in an ingenious way He had taken
a board, probably six inches wide, and,
lying fiat, face downward, had placed it
upright under his throat, then stretching
his arms straight alongside his body, had
borne down with his neck. Unconscious
ness followed in few seconds, and he
died an apparently painless death. The
story was received by the lumbermen
with incredulity, and I suggested it be
tried One of the party volunteered, and
the arrangements were made and carried
ont as I had mentioned in relating the
suicide. The man had remained in the
position only very few seconds when we
huyriedly raised him and let the plank
fall, He was unconscious, and it was
some little time before he responded to
orr labors o.revive him and opened his
eyes. We were greatly relieved, I can
tell you. In describing his feelings, he
said he had experienced a rush of blood to
the head and a suffocating sensation, but
was powerless to move any of his limbs
or release himself. Cincinnati Enquirer.

Cavalry of the confederacy.

The cavalry of the Confederate States
was different in its organization and char
acter to any cavalry that has been seen in
modern war. The infantry regiments Of
the south possessed, though In less de-
gree than those of the north, some nn-
cleus Of trained or partially trained men
in the various militia organizations.
With the cavalry the case was different.
The number of cavalrymen who on join
ing their commands knew anything about
cavalry tactics was extremely small. But
on two essential points they needed no
instruction; all knew how to ride, and
all were familiar with the use Of their
weapons.
With the northern man 1t was, as a
general rule. otherwise: he had nearly
always to be taught how to ride, and he
had generally to be taught how to shoot.
Thus it happened that from the opening
Of hostilities the southern trooper showed
his superiority over his northern oppo-
nent--a superiority which he maintained
until the ceaseless attrition of war re-
duced the cavalry commands of the Con-
federacy to mere ENTHUSIASTICALLY as
well as metaphorically enabled the
northern horsemen to prevail by virtue of
overwhelming numbers, sufficient sup
plies and the training which they had ac-
quired through years Of campaigning,
which had been, till near the close, gem
|.erally disastrous to them. New Orleans

AFTER THE STORM.

Indescribable Wreck Visible on Every
Hand---The Storm Losses.
MT. VERNON, ILL.,, Feb. 21.-The sun
rose this morning on an appa ling scene
of desolation. To the southwest of the
courthouse where the cloud first dropped
down, immense oaks are twisted from
the ground aud houses crushed by
the flying debris. Scarcely can
the direction <of the streets be traced.
How many houses were here can
only to be guessed at, for nothing is
left in places to mark the spot. Looking
northeast across the railroad the scene
appears more terrible because the build
ings were larger and heavier. The storm
swept clear path 900 yards wide. On
each side Of the wrecked portion disman-
tied houses half buried under debris still
stand Along the business streets, where
the solid brick buildings were, not one
remains standing or even partially pre-
served What was left by the fury of
the storm was soon devoured by the
fierce flames. H-. -
