A RemOnstrance.

Mr.. EDITOR: In this legislation for
Hawaiians, now in process of en-
actment, / notice two measures
of pernicious immortality. There
is the "Act to mitigate" seeking
to make easy the way of the transgres-
sor and the &c Bill to amend the divorce
law" making it easy to rid ones self of
the obligations of the marriage covenant.
Those of us who are work ing for the up
lifting of the Hawaiian people are
amazed that in any corner of Chr;sten-
dom, there should be found in this age
of advanced civilization, Christian men,
upholding and advocating such legisla-
ton. Are our legislators ignorant that
the contagious Diseases Acts" after
which the Hawaiian act was modelled,
from the day they were passed till the
day they were repealed, were denounced
as a disgrace and a shame to the British
Parliament? Laws may have little
power to make men good; but they may
contravene Gods law of retributive
justice, and foster vice rather than re-
press it. The British law was erased
from the statutebook in 1886, after
twenty years OF persistent agitation and
petition; 80 easy is it to decree iniquity
by law, and so difficult to undo the
wrong. Some of the worst abuses
under these iniquitous acts have been
committed in the Government regulation
Of vice in India. But now after only
one short year of public appeal, so
recently as this last June, resolution
was presented to Parliament demanding
the immediate and total abolition of this
iniquity throughout the Indian Empire,
and on it's first presentation it was car
ried, without one single vote against it,
It is high time that Christian people in
Honolulu should demand in language
that cannot be misconstrued, that this
iniquitous "Act to Mitigate" shall be
wiped off at once from the Hawaiian
statute book. How many Christian
people are there in Honolulu, who care
in the least for the bodies or souls of
these licensed women? Why not relieve
at once the Trustees of the Queens Hos
pital from their obligation to keep the
women that are to be found in the wards
of that institution, month after month ?
There they are supported at the public
expense, under the guise of Christian
charity; then sent out again to ply their
legalized, nefarious trade. Will no one
utter word of remonstrance?

ONE of the most animated debates of
the session took place yesterday when the
Coffee Bill came up for discussion in the
House. Mr.. Baldwin made very full
and convincing speech and it was fol-
lowed by several others which were ex-
ceedingly effective. The Minister of the
Interior and Mr.. Widemann, as usual,
freely limited their mutual contempt.
Mr.. Thurston's language was perhaps
trifle too picturesque, but it must be
admitted he had strong provocation.
The bill with some changes passed it's
second reading, so that it's final success
is practically assured.

In accordance with the power vested in
the Cabinet by Article 80 of the Constitu-
ton, to make and publish all necessary
rules and regulations for the holding of
elections prior to the passage by the Legis-
lature of appropriate laws for such purpose,
notice is hereby given
l. That an election will be held on the
Island of Oahu, on WEDNESDAY, the 22d
day of August, 1888, to fill the vacancy in
the office of Noble for said Island, caused
by the death of the late Hon. Samuel G..
Wilder.

the Cabinet in conformity with said Article
80 of the Constitution, on the 25th day of
July, 1887, as amended on the Sth day of
August, 1887, except as hereby modified,
shall govern such election.
3. Rules Is and II of the Rules and Reg
ulations above referred to are hereby re-
pealed so far as may affect the election
hereby ordered, and the following rules
shall govern the matters therein referred
to, viz: Rule 15 The chairman of each
Board designated to register voters for
Mobiles shall at least seven days before the
holding OF the election hereby ordered,
make out from the Register of Voters en-
titled to vote for Mobiles, correct alpha

vote for Mobiles residing in the precinct for
which he is appointed, and cause copies of
the same to be posted at the place in such
precinct where the election is to be held;
And at the same time he shall in like
manner from such Register make out lists
of all persons qualified to vote for Mobiles,
residing in the other precincts or wards re-
spectively in such election district, and

of Inspectors in such district copy of the
list of persons qualified to vote for Mobiles
residing in his precinct or ward"

cess of this industry when it is scientifi-
cally gone into. AS the coffee is generally
worked now, no care is taken of the plants
they are left to take care of themselves.
Rep. Kamauoha was in favor of the
bounty system. It's results would be seen
at once. He moved an amendment to sec
ton l.
Rep. Helekunihi said it is natural for
people to look on any new thing with Sus-
picion, which is particularly the case
among Haw aiians. He approved of en-
gaging in new enterprises.
Rep. Kinney said hundreds OF thousands
of dollars had been sunk IN sugar. 1t took
15 or 20 years to learn how to raise cane
and get the sugar out of it. If the Govern
ment had started it, imported persons at
first who understood it and introduced
the best machinery, the result would have
been different.
Rep. Kamauoha's amendment was put
and lost.
The motion to indefinitely postpone the
first section and the bill was put and lost
on the following division:

Clause of Section was referred to a

The remaining clauses and sections

a new section to be called Section lob.

visions of this license any screen, blind,

Trouble in COrea-The U. s. s. Juniata
Ashore.

Ashore.
Through the kindness of Mr.. j. H.
Patty we have particulars of serious
trouble in Corea.
The steamer City of Peking arrived in
! San Francisco with the following among
her Oriental news: A serious emeute
has occurred in Corea, owing to the re-
vival of an old prejudice about mission
aries. Some evil-disposed Chinese
spread the report that American mis-
sionaries had purchased COrean children
and boiled them down for medicine
This aroused the ignorant masses, and
the authorities had to gather the mis-
sionaries into ZeOul for safety. The peo-
pie then seized nine COrean officials and
beheaded them in the street.
The foreign men-of-war at ChemulpO
were hurriedly telegraphed for, and the
American, Russian and French vessels
each sent force of men to guard their
respective quarters.
The U. S. S. Juniata (Which was re-
Gently at Honolulu), ordered from
Chemulpo to the scene of the troubles,
went aground near Cough Island and
was not yet off when the City of Picking
sailed.
No further advices had been received
from Corea up to the time of sailing
There had been a report that the King of
Corea intimated to the missionaries that
it was his intention to prohibit the
preaching of Christianity.
Since the above was written we find in
our regular exchange, the Hongkong
Press, of June 30th the statement that
the Juniata left Shanghai &c hurriedly on
the 21st at 9 80 p. M, but went hard and
fast ashore just above the Kajao Greek.
She got off again on the night of the 22nd
and proceeded to sea-" The same paper
quotes Shanghai native papers of June
23rd in the statement following an ac-
count of the child-steaming reports and
their results) that E" the Corean officials
have arrested and executed several per-
sons guilty of disseminating these false
hoods, and the foreign buildings were
protected by an armed force until the
21st June, when the ridiculous ex-
element subsided'' One Shanghai
paper said it was the japanese
who were falsely accused of buying chill
dren to cook and eat, and that several
persons were killed and injured in
popular commotion arising from the re-
ports.
