THE DAILY

We HAVE been requested, on be-
half of His Majesty, to contradict the
statement which has been published,
that the draft of the So called "pro-
tectorate treaty" was written at
his request. It is understood that
neither he nor his Cabinet approves
of reciprocity treaty, on the terms
given in that document. But as the
subject must come before the Gov
eminent soon, it is ready to consider
any measures that may be presented,
and from them adopt what prom
ises to be the best for the CONNER
cial and political good of the nation,
when the present treaty expires.
Perhaps nothing can be found better
than the treaty we now have, which
has worked we'll and is generally
approved in both countries.

Chinese or Anti-Chinese.

Mr.. EDITOR: The conservative
element in the last legislature, or as
it might better be termed, the dis
Greet element; the element that was
not willing to permit a wrong; repeat
eddy defeated the anti Chinese reso-
luton as then presented. This fact
gives some degree of confidence that
no ill-considered or unjust law will
be enacted by it, should it reassem-
BILE. But we have no assurance that
the next legislative body will be
composed like the last. Some of the
men who served at that time have
left the country, and others will not
be willing to again undertake the
laborious task of serving the coun
try at so great sacrifice to their
private business interests. There
appears to be some prospect, that
the active efforts of the anti Chinese
element, will SO far succeed with I'M
thinking voters, as to result in an act
of injustice to the Chinese: an act
that the better sense of the people
will be ashamed of.
A due regard for the right of self
preservation, undoubtedly requires
that there should be some degree of
restraint on the Chinese; but the ma
ture of this restraint or regulation
should not amount to a moral wrong,
nor be carried to such an extent as
to do greater harm than good, to
the general interests of the islands.
1t is clear enough that the Portu-
guese are strongly Chinese,
because they want a monopoly of
the labor market and small trade.
But, what saved our sugar planta
tions in the time of need, and where
would they have been to-day, had
it not been for the Chinese? What
would the rice trade amount to
without them? Just nothing at all.
What would housekeepers do for
cooks? Take Japanese? These, even
If they could be secured in sufficient
numbers, are considered by many
as too Independent and exclusive to
be endured. Take Portuguese?
Even if they could be had for such
service, who knows anything about
their fitness or ability to give salts
faction therein?
What was it but necessity (the de-
mand for them) that brought the
Chinese to this country? And shall
they now be treated like brutes?
Shall a people that boasts of it's
superiority and of its Christianity,
treat them as it would in nowise
to be treated by any people
on the face of the earth?
Shall those who have become too
weak to longer endure the severe
exactions of plantation labor, not be
permitted to engage in occupations
suited to their strength, in the land
that has received the benefit of their
better days? But these arguments
are not new, and I may trespass
on your space.
Let US protect ourselves from
Chinese invasion, but let US on no
account do anything for which we
shall be ashamed, the precedents
by the great United
States and lesser Australia, notwith-

Pro-Chinese Silence.


Mr.. EDITOR: I have been looking
over the GAZETTE, ever since the
anti Chinese movement began, for
some opinions on the other side of
the question; but hitherto have seen
only one or two writings that were
noteworthy. Considering the large
preponderance of intelligence that
must naturally be on the pro- Chinese
side, the silence from its influential
partizans is unaccountable, unless
that prominent and known persons
do not wish to subject themselves to
abusive attacks from comparatively
ignorant demagogues whose only
argument is abuse of any writer who
is bold enough to differ from their
line of assertion.
How far this silence is wise, you
are in better position to Judge than
am; but at the same time it is
rather unaccountable to people in
the remote parts of the Kingdom,
especially in the face of so much
being said on the anti-Chinese side
much of which is absolute rubbish
and abuse of the very interests that
conserve the trade and prosperity of
the islands.
It would not be any wild assertion
to make that were there no white
mechanics on the islands, except
those engaged in heavy undertak-
ings such as plantation machinery
and ship-work, the Kingdom would
get along just as we'll, and the want
would be scarcely felt.

REGULARITY OF HABIT.

One of the most difficult of all the
minor habits to acquire is that Of
regularity. It ranks with that OF
order. The natural inclination OF
most persons IS to defer untile the
last possible moment, or to put off to
another time, where this can pos
sibly be done. Yet habits of regu-
larity contribute largely to the ease
and comforts of life. 4 person can
multiply his efficiency by it. We
know persons who have multitude
of duties, and who perform a vast
deal of work daily, who set apart
certain hours for given duties, and
are there at the moment and attend
rigidly to what is in hand This
done and other engagements are
met, each in order, and a vast deal
accomplished, not by strained exer-
ton, but by regularity. The mind
can be SO trained to this that at GER
tain hours in the day it will turn to
a particular line of duty, and at
other hours to other and different
labors. The very diversity is rest
full, when attended to in regular
order. But let these be run together,
and the duties mixed, and what
before was easy is now annoying
and oppressive, and the exact differ
ence between many is just at this
point. There are those who confuse
and rush, and attempt to do several
things at once and accomplish little,
while another will quietly proceed
from one duty to another, and easily
accomplish a vast amount of work.
The difference is not in the capacity
of the two, but in the regular
methods of the one, as compared
with the irregular and confused
habits of the other.

What Newspaper Critics Saw.

The naval officers constituting the
Trial Board of the cruiser Charles
ton should bring the vessel around
to the Eastern coast, where her
merits and defects might be properly
examined into and estimated. The
failure to develop within 300 horse
power of the required amount places
the San Francisco contractors at a
disadvantage. By accepting the con
tract under the plans set forth they
became responsible for the Charles
toms performance under the pre-
scribed tests. The failure to develop
the required horse power, indicates
either that they didn't understand
the principles of modern marine en-
gineering or that their ideas of naval
construction were faulty and indie
finite Phil. Record.

The departure of Mr.. TARo ANDo
and his wife, on the steamship
Yamashiro Maru, tomorrow noon
affords US the opportunity and the
pleasure of noticing an official gen
tleman and lady whose Uniform
urbanity and courtesy have fitted
them to occupy the favored position
which they have held the past three
years as representatives of the Gov
eminent of Japan. His knowledge
of the Hawaiians and of the various
nationalities in this Kingdom, &C
quired during his residence here, has
eminently fitted him to act as a
mediator in the many petty COM
plants or ptItEias which arise among
his countrymen here, and in every
case to the satisfaction of both
parties. These qualities will COM
mend him to his government as
judicious counsellor, and as "the
right man in the right place" We
wish both Mr.. and Mrs. Taro Ando
prosperous voyage to Japan, and a
safe return to our sunny isles.

Largest Grizzly Killed.

"Old clubfoot," the famous grizzly
of the Sierras, was killed by Trapper
Hendrix near the source of Battle
Creek lately. This ferocious beast
has wandered as a dreaded monarch
in that section for the past twenty
years, and seemed to bear charmed
life. Hundreds of cattle, sheep,
hogs, and human beings have fallen
victims to his appetite during that
period, and many parties organized
for his destruction have returned
thinned in ranks and "with hair
turned white in a single night by a
passing sight of the dreadful fright"
which they vainly sought to destroy.
The beast weighed, when dressed,
1890 pounds, which we believe is
the largest animal of this species
ever seen on the American CONT
nent. Mr.. Hendrix feels Justly
proud of his achievement, and a
purse of $500 has been made up for
his benefit by the residents of east
Tehama county. The bear was in
rather poor condition when slain, as
old age had clogged his blood some
what, and time had commenced to
paralyze his former supple limbs, so
that he was not able to capture his
prey as in former days. The pleased
hunter is tanning the hide, which he
proposes to use as a cover for his
winter hut in the foothills.

which were received on Wednesday
last from the island of Hawaii.
Our friends on the other islands
seem to attach more comprehen-
slve Importance to the anti Chinese
movement than circumstances war
rant, and for their information we
may state:
1st. That the movement is con-
fined to a class of tradesmen and
mechanics into whose business
Chinese competition is steadily cut
ting with destructive effect.
I'd. As we understand the move
ment, no desire has been publicly ex-
pressed to restrict labor on the plan
tations. except in cases where skilled
labor by white men is supplanted by
Asiatic mechanics.
Sd. The evil of Chinese competi-
ton in skilled labor and storekeep
ing is generally admitted, even
among those opposed to the move
ment, to be undermining certain
classes Of white mems pursuits in
the island towns, and especially in
Honolulu.
4th. The difference in thought,
upon the chief points at issue, is
chiefly in the mode to be taken in
carrying out remedial measures.
9Th. A very large majority of the
voters are opposed, for various rea-
sons, to an extra session of the Lee
gislature being held; and among the
chief of these reasons are an unwar-
rantable extra expense that would &C
crue, great obstacles that stand in the
way of calling members together, and
the danger of hasty and ill-considered
action at time when the public
mind is occupied by other and more
urgent questions.
9th. The property owners, and
those who have large material in
terests in the country, keep entirely
aloof from the present anti-C Chinese
movement; although admitting that
we'll considered restrictive measures
would, to some extent, be advisa-
BILE.
7th. A deputation of mechanics
and others have presented to the
Cabinet petition, embodying re-
solutions passed at the anti Chinese
meetings.; but, so far, no answer has
been returned, and there are very
grave reasons why an answer should
not be returned before being we'll
weighed in all its bearings.
The above statements comprehend,
as nearly as we can judge, the lead
ing facts regarding the anti-Chinese
movement; and, in its present stage,
adverse criticism is superfuous, and
would only be received with the GUS
tomary published abuse. In short,
the question does not, in it's present
stage, admit of argument that would
be beneficial to the country.
We may add that the anti Chinese
movement, so far as is publicly
known, does not contemplate any in
justice to the planters; but only res
friction and regulation of some kind
that, as yet, seem to be crudely con-
sidered.
