It is un doubtedly true to-day that our homes are more Dentililitl than ever, and the conveniences of modern life are multi plied in ever) direction Hut these conveniences necessitate outlays that could not have been made once. And it is a question whether the craze for every new facility is not crude and hurttul in many cases where prudence and self-denial would !o much more in harmony with salary or business profits. Are not busmevs failures frequently traceable to wakeful expenditures rath er tlran to incompetency in the teclmi entities of business life and methods? It is best probably to crush all the juice from the en no, and to extract all the sugar from the juice, but is it wise to handicap the possible profits of several crops by discarding a fail ly good plant, and purchasing another of fmei make and belter capacity ? we all know that laughable instances of expenditures on n basis of"$.joo or $500 jer arre come up lnut every day. They would be 'laujiiable weie it not that some one has always had to jviy the piper for whistling. It is hardly necessary- to specify particulars. The urgent matter ior us all to consider is hat arc the items of unnecessary ex pense that can be checked ? In er sonal habits and business methods arc there not opportunities for such economy as will make the profits on island products sent abroad'accomplisb greater purchasing power ? With a modified treaty and the present com bination of capital to control the ship ment and price of our chief export, the margin of profit to capital and labor is seriously threatened. Our business pros perity calls for new and substantial business blocks. The island traffic and the comfort of tourists endorses every iiiijmivciiiutii mat iiiukc2 uur imcr-is land steamers more commodious and convenient. The government should undertake every gieat work that prom isca substantial results in the material development of the kingdom. But ev;trwhere, in the government admin istration and in personal and business life the leaks must be calked. I it not true that in our island life there is altogether top nnjich of the spirit of John Ileywooll's ..Merry Friends ?

"There is less lobbying at the capi tol this session than at any time since I have been (n congress," said an old inejnber of the hoiiie publiejands committee to a reporter of theMVash ingtoiSiar : 1 don't think there is at prc&nt a scheme on foot. When the public lands i:oiiimittt;e,coiimii;i(ccd its work the lobbyists began to hover about, but they soon gave up the game. The projwsed whisky legislation seemed lo opfii up a big field for the lobby UlSi and thcysct in to do some big work. Again they were disappoin ted There seemed to be a determina tion on the part of the friends of this and every other important measure lo keep clear In the sharks. A projositioii was made early in the session to raise a large sum of money to promote favor able whisky legislation, and certain lawyers were ready to take the matter in hand, but when the subject vvus broached some of the best Irieuds the vvlmky cxlcntion bill has in congress declaied that if such means were re sulted to they would not only stop Morkingfor the bill, but would vote against It. ljastgivc this as an ex amply to show- the gloving disposition to let everything alone that has a scheme in it. Nothing would kill a measure quicker than for it to become mouihcd alKiut that it was being lob bled" In waichiiis the treaty light, we have all along belli; v ml that the greatest strength of fbo treaty's friend layin thoroughly ojKJnaudalwve-lMWtd tac tics.

Being the piniieeir it is also the mother foreign hurt h, from width have branched off the others now in existence here. It has been uppuenl for some time just that ihe needs nf the incieasing loieign residents of this city demanded, that an im leased efibrt should be put forth for Ihcir spiritual welfare- This was icfer icd lo in the jubilee sermon, in Mr. Damon's resignation published in the I'rc-ss of the J.vl ultimo, and again in his farewell sermon in today's issue. Owing 1.1 a variety of circumstances Ihe Bethel has failed in tho increased demands upon it long enough to see Us sister church bmdeued with work and perplexed with what it would do with its overflowing attendants. But now the Bethel's light, long flickering, is planned to be fed that it may beam forth equal lo the exigencies oftlie times. A new departure is to be taken in which it is expected that all friends ol the old church will rally to us aid. Some weeks and perhaps months may elapse ere a new pastor is found, but hose who have the matter in band, it is hoped, realize- their Responsibility. We know there are those who would not be troubled if the church ceased to exist. but they arc of those who do not con sider themselves their brothers keener. I lie 7cal ot the little Hock, now pin to the test, appeals with reasonableness to this community to help it take a bold "land in the front rank of gospel work and Uiristian ocnevolence. Its his toiic interest urges it, the well-being of society demands it, the cause of good government appeals for it and the Hungering ami uursiing souis around us call for it. With an efficient pastor and two services each Sabbath, there is every reason to believe its beneficial influence will be felt, not only among its own members but by the com munity at large, and prove an efficient co-worker with others in this city and on these islands for the cause of Chris tianity. rm: vm.vi:si: i.vri.u.x. The Kissengcr statistics, printed among the custom-house tables last week, ought to be read attentively, and deserve more analysis than they have yet had. There arrived during the year 10,087 souls, 3Sts returned lo other countries, leaving 7.152. Of the num ber arriving 42.13 were Chinese, all but 60 being adult males. There returned to China during the year 105C souls, 974 of whom were adu't males, making the increased immigration to our popu lation of adult male Chinese 200. Of all other nationalities the adult immi gration was 4513; thcadult emigration, 2167, makinu the immigration increase to our adult imputation from all other nationalities, except Chinese, only 2346, less than the corresponding Chinese in crease by S73. At the first dance the excess seems small, but itjuuisl be re meinbered that a large part ( say 40) of the adult immigration from other countries -is female, while that from China is male. Let us assume that 40 of the adults remaining in the eountiy last year were women, that means mat ot 2340 adults, 937 were women and only 1409 were men, so that the adult Chinese male immigrants who remained in the country last year exceed the gain of adult males of all other nationalities by 1800. 1( there be no food for thought in the figures iven, then it is because there is no thought in the community. The matter of the claim of the owner of the Madras against the board of health may not proerly be discussed until the amount and nature of the claim shall be made public. lifJInl hklr. I'll ESS!

The Anglican Church Chronicle for March opens with some most heart-rending verses en titled A Parable for Lent. If any naughty church people were at the Hartford hop last Saturday, it is to be hoped they have made their eace with the generally charitable, but on this occasion most puissanlly censorious editors of the Church Chronicle, The verses are not half liad by the way, though lazily ill) inci 1 and carelessly coupled ; and one can't help wondering who wrote them. They arc quoted but appear without credit. The pciti lu nt enquiry, Has Christianity anything to do with popular Amusements? is continued and threatens to rival Tennyson's brook although, be it admitted, the Anglican's writer babbles quite as entertainingly and to better practical puriiose. The more strictly religious articl.-s in the number, Sponsorship and Lenten Thoughts arc earnestly written, and ought to appeal to all earnest readers. Under the head ingTlie Church in Hawaii are several items of intercut lo church people on the Islands, Among the most interesting is this : " The statements of the accounts of St. Andrew's Cathedral Chuicli for the year ending Decern her 31, 1183, has been published.
