When it is proposed to annul the con-
stitution, so as to make class legislation
possible with the particular object OF
excluding the Chinese from certain
branches of useful and honorable en-
ployment, we say at once this is very
extreme measure, and We wish to take
no such headlong step until we are
thoroughly convinced that it is wise and
Just. 1t is not thereby implied that we
disbelieve in the measure, but we dis
trust it and deplore its necessity. The
step proposed by the bill now under
consideration is OF another kind. Is
there any injustice in compelling
emigrants who desire to live in q
foreign country, to bring themselves
into harmony with its commercial sys-
tenn and its laws. The presence in any
country of large class who are and re-
main permanently strangers to its
customs, its ideas, its government
its religion, is an important evil,
and may be menace. The
Chinese constitute such q class, and
because they do they are in so far an
evil. They are invaders, not the less
such because they do not knock at our
gates with the thunder of cannon. They
come protesting ''peace, peace, where
there isno peace, undermining or threat
ening to undermine the vigor and life OF a
country by methods more insidious, but
not less fatal than those Of open war.
Nov, this state Of facts does not in any
way relieve US from the necessity of
dealing Justly with the Chinese.
What it does is to put Us to calm and
rational consideration OF the whole prob
lem, with view to discovering what
course, without interfering with any
vested rights, is going to conduce to the
general welfare, and help to perpetuate
in this country the civilization and ideas
which We desire to see Perpetuated. The
bill under discussion is a measure of
this kind. 1t may be only makeshift,
but it will at least remedy the evils
springing at present from the fact that
the books OF large commercial class
are kept in a language incomprehensi-
BILE to the rest OF the community. This
state Of things opens the door to frauds
of every description. 1t embarrasses or
prevents altogether the administration
of justice in about every case in which
the books of Chinaman are involved.
When it comes to the overhauling OF
accounts in equity, the Court and the
counsel are equally at sea. Doubtless,
also, it facilitates perjury, and multi
plies the inducements to it. The pres
ent bill should do away with much OF
this, and it requires nothing, in our
opinion, either unreasonable or unjust.

TIE House is really getting along very
fast with the Appropriation Bill. They
are about half through already, and un-
less there is to be more quarreling than
We apprehend over the items of internal
improvement, there is no reason why
they should not finish the Bill this
week. In spite of everything, however,
the prospect OF a short session seems
melting into thin air, and it loo1s now as
though tn. Legislature might furnish
thenewspaper men copy until September.

TIE Act to regulate the keeping of
books Of account by wholesale and re-
tail licensees, was last Monday favor
ably reported on by the committee to
whom the bill was referred. The bill,
which the committee recommend be
passed, provides that all books OF ac-
count shall be kept in the English or
Hawaiian language The Minister Of
the Interior or his representative is
given authority to inspect the books
with sufficient thoroughness to ascer-
tain whether the provision is being COM
piled with, and a failure so to do is
made misdemeanor punishable by fine
and by forfeiture Of the license. The
bill, while making no mention of the
Chinese, is Of course aimed directly at
them, and we believe no other class will
be affected by it. The Limitation to
English and Hawaiian is inconsistent
with our treaty relations with some
European powers, and amendments cal
culated to obviate this difficulty will of
course be introduced.

TIE ayes and noes were called on the
third reading Of the Governors bill Thurs
day, on three motions, to indefinitely
postpone, to lay on the table, and to pass.
The first was defeated by vote of 81 to
s. the second by % to 10; the third
was carried by 80 to 10. There was
something very curious about the voting,
several voting against indefinite post
ponement who also voted against pass
ing the bill. The bill has not been sent
to His Majesty, but will be kept and
sent up with that distributing the
duties OF Governors.

AS TIE session grows further advanced
the foolish petitioners seem to increase
and multiply. The right Of petition has
always been popular favorite. Most Of
these petitions might be referred to the
Committee on Public Lands and Internal
improvements without any substantial
injustice resulting therefrom, but of
course there is an occasional real griev-
ance at the bottom of some of them.
The most frequent Of all the petitions are
those for the removal of the President Of
the Board OF Health, and these are full
Of significance, for they testify most di.
rectly to the efficiency of that officer,
and tell all the story Of the zeal
with which the present Government
ia attacking the leprosy problem, and
enforcing the law of segregation. We
never heard of any petitions for the re-
moval Of His ExcelIency W. NJ. Gibson
from that Office, and the reason is not far

Now, what sound objections can be
urged against the bill now before the
House? Is it disbelief in the possible
success Of the coffee industry? The
obvious answer is, the success Of every
new enterprise is uncertain; but no one
can investigate the matter thoroughly
without becoming convinced that the
conditions of success, as far as they can
be forecast, are present. Is the objec-
tion that Government aid is unneces-
sary? The answer is that, ii we may
judge the future by the past, nothing
will be done without it. If anyone says,
Governments have no business to med
die with enterprises OF this sort, it may
be replied that governments are here to
promote the common good, and in the
present condition OF this country the ad-
vantages Of establishing a new and i'm
portant industry can hardly be over
estimated. Will anyone say-the scheme
would be we'll enough if the country
could afford it? The answer is: True,
we cannot spend what we have not got.
But to a proposition Of the Importance
and the possible far-reaching conse-
quences Of this, it is absurd to plead
poverty in bar Nothing is more saIcu-
lated to do away with this much meu-
toned poverty than few judiciously
executed enterprises Of this kind. On
the whole, no valid objection to the
present bill occurs to US. 1t should be
understood that we are now defending
the principle aud object Of the measure
only. Very likely alterations in some Of
the details may be found advisable.
There is one other industry-ramie-
which has as pressing claim for con-
sideration as coffee, and we shall return
TO the dual topic later. In the mean
while, while in no way committing our
selves TO final opinion on the merits
Of particular measures, We do express
unreservedly in favor of the
general policy Of encouraging and foster
ing the growth OF new and useful indus
tries, by government aid, wisely and
judiciously bestowed.

ment.
The Report then goes on to recommend
that the industry be started either by
private enterprise, with subsidy, or BY
the Government itself, if necessary.
The former course is the preferable one
Of the two but, rather than not have the
trial made, would strongly urge that the
latter course be followed A similar pro-
cedure on the part Of several English

establishment of valuable industries, no

accompaniment of small capital, made
quate machinery, and unscienunc methods
to evolve success by long experiment.
During the latter part OF the past period
Mr. w. ]. Forsyth, gentleman OF praeti-
cal experience in coffee and cinchona Gull
tivation in Ceylon and Guatamals, has
been employed by the Government to eL-
anime aud report upon the adaptaoillty OF
various sections of the country for the
cultivation OF cinchona and coffee, and to
stimulate AN interest in them
Mr. Forsyth has made very thorough
personal investigation OF the subject of
coffee culture in these Islands, as ap-
pears by his report Contained in the
report Of the Minister of the Interior, p.
65), to which we would refer every
reader who wishes to inform himself on
the subject. The result OF Mr.. Forsyth's
study is that the conditions for coffee
culture are remarkably favorable in this
country. 1t should be borne in mind
that these are the conclusions Of an ex-
pert, gentleman eminently qualified to
Judge by long experience with the in
dustry in the principal coffee producing
countries of the world. We hope later
to be able to make some citations from
Mr.. Forsyth's report.

power from tho engine was transmitted
by compressed air carried through hose

In tho train. 1t was under the control of
the engineer, and its action was so prompt
and its power so effectual that train

Economy may DO tho secret of wealth,
but there are cases where 1t does not pay
to oconomize too closely. A method Is in
use, and has been recently patented, of
using again old tin cans from which peas,
lobster, salmon and other edibles have
been removed The practice may provo
pernicious one, and the cans should be
relegatcd to the furnace and rolling mill
before being again used for canning food.
At best. cans are never preserved, after
tho food has been removed, in very
clean condition, TO say the least, and the
acid contained in tho food often causes
poisonous compounds, when combined
with oxygen of the atmosphere.
Tho old cans are, it Is stated, collected
in tho "rovamping" establishment, the
damaged top removed, and the cans
thoroughly cleansed. If this statement
DO true, there may be no objection from
sanitary point of view, but II Is doubtful
II cans can, be cleaned short Of removing
the entire coating of more or less oxidized
tin coating with which they are covered
thus leaving somo of tho poisonous mat
ter to contaminato tho next food placed
in tho can. r
After cleansing, the old bottom is
punched to servo as new top, and new
bottom soldered on from tho inside,
through tho punched hole. 1t might be
well for purchasers of canned goods to ex-
amino tho construction of cans when
purchasing. and promptly reject oil goods
