Its main fea'.urcs arc ; one annual license, for Honolulu only, tp 1)0 sold at auction at an upset price of thirty thousand dollars ; the purchaser giving bonds In ten thous- , and dollarViiot to sell to other. than Chinese, &c, &c. The main arguments in favor of '.. the proposed measure, so far an we have been informed, are that the . prohibition of the importation, and k'j,, i )iuu: w uijsuiuy u inuuii'i iu.id- fyjj ': much as it is patent that largo quan- L'tUies arc smuggled into the couutry, U-"f' not only by Chinese but by others to whom the large prolit is a temptation to go into the business ; that an it is manifestly impossible to utterly ex clude opium, the winer course will bo by licensing to control it ; and that a high price put on the license will ensure watchfulness on the part of the licensee against smuggling On the other hand, the opponents of the opium license aver that it was abolished, after a trial of a num ber of years, principally for the reason that by the use of opium be ing legalized among the Chinese the pernicious habit had extensively spread, among the natives, adding another to the many already oxisting causes of death and disease; that prohibition has not been a failure, but a reasonable success ; and that ,, the quantity of the drag smuggled ' has been very much exaggerated. ,'In view of tlio' largo body of Chi nese already here, and the prob ability that we shall yet bo so un fortunate as to have many, more in :lr - i fitcad of less, this question of licens ing opium is n very important .one, .and. should be carefully weighed.

Prohibition;. Mn. Editor.: InV.tHo published report of Yhe .speeches made at the mass meeting in Music Hall, in tlio early part of tlio present month, to discuss the question of n law pro hibiting the importation and salo of intoxloating drinks in this Kingdom, among other things that might be criticized, in my humblo opinion, was a remark in tho courso of the address of Mr. P. C. Jones, jr. of the Arm of Brewer & Co. That gontleman ia quoted as having said: "1 take tlio liberty of suggesting that by the passage of this law the expenses for the police force must be greatly rodueed, it would not necessitate, the enlargement of the prison as is -now contemplated," &c. Now, it is curious to note bow people who are enthusiastic on a pet theory, jump at , conclusions, and how apt temperance folks arc to talk iutcmperatcly. I don't believe that iu a matter of pure business the gentleman named would misa his calculations so widely as he has, in my humble opinion, when he paints to our imagination the delightful, elysian condition of things to result from a prohibition law little or no further need of police or prisons ! We are to suppose that everybody will of course Bit quietly and obe diently under prohibition there will be absolutely no smuggling, and illicit distilling will never be dream ed of. Why, Mr. Editor, oyer since the memorable episode of our mateijj mil ancestor about the apple, there has been an inherent inclination in humanity to seek after'that which is forbidden; and so here, if you utterly forbid tho importation of spirits, your customs guards and your police force will have a lively time in preventing on tho one hand the smuggling of the1 nrticlo from abroad, and on .'the- ether, its, sly manufacture, in. thib country ., , 'Festina Lente.

The con stant uso of beer evcryl dt$ 'gives' the system no time for recuperation, but steadily lowers tlio vital forces. It is our observation that beer-drinking in this .country produces the very1 lowest forms of inebriety, closely allied to criminal ins'nnity. The most dangerous class of trampa and rutllians in our cities are beer drinkers. It is-asBertcd by compe tent authority that the evils of here dity are more positive in tins class than from alcoholics. If these facts are well founded,, the recourse to beer as a substitute for alcohol merely increases the danger and fatality following."
