It seemed timely for us the other day to comment upon the looseness that governed the mercantile marine of this kingdom, whereby vessels were permitted to engage in traf fic, incllleiently commanded and equipped, imperilling precious lives and hazarding valuable property. Since then a brief account has enine under our notice, of the proceed ings of the Congrcs for the reform and codification of international law, which assembled at Hamburg on" Aug. 18th last. To give an idea of the eminence of the body, and its comprehensiveness, the list of vice presidents elected by the Congress may be cited, as follows : Dr. Meyer (Bremen), Judge Pcabody (New York), Sir Travcrs Twiss and Dr. Wciult (London), and Dr. "Wolff son (Hamburg). The delegates dis cussed Paragraph 1 of the proposal brought forward by Hamburg. "This paragraph declares it to be illegal to insert in a bill of lading any clause or provision by which the obligation of shipowners to see that their vessels arc properly fitted out, manned and provisioned, and sufficiently seaworthy to accomplish their intended voyage, or by which the responsibility of owners for any faults or negligence on the part of their employees is in any way les sened, weakened, or avoided. Any such conditions or clauses are de clared to be null and void, and without legal validity. The para graph, which was arranged under various heads W!ls substantially adopted by a considerable majo rity." This kingdom cannot do better than follow international direction in the matter in question. With a growing inter-island and foreign commerce, it is absolutely essential, in the interests of honesty and humanity, that "they that go down to the sea in ships," as well as the underwriters who take risks upon vessels to and from our ports, should be adequately protected by domestic legislation. Here it may be necessary to state that, in dis cussing this question, no allusion is made to any specific cases, but to a vicious system that has been per mitted to attach itself to young Ha .wniian commerce, the deplorable results of which arc not for the first time appearing to-day. EDITORIAL NOTES. Father Honouii, who was captured and held some time in the Soudan, lately got, away and reached Kome. He va3 indignant over a report that he had adopted Islamism. While doubting the death of the Mahdi, lie said if he was really dead it must have been from poison and not small-pox. Father Konomi was sur prised at the European reputation of Osman Digna, saying lie was hardly known in the Soudan and then only as the chief of a band of marauders. This interesting item to sugar men is from a recent European journal : " The Paris papers, commenting on the seven months' financial returns, observe that the new taiiff, meant to favor the protection of sugar in France, "has had precisely the con trary effect, and that amid many items of deficit the most prominent figure per contra is an increase above the estimates of thirty-four millions on the duties on imported foreign sugar." Which means that Franco cannot raise sugar as cheap as alio can buy it, with a heavy tax piled on top of the foreign article. Long back in tbe depression this paper encouraged our planters to believe that Europenu countries would tire of fighting against Nature to compel their people to sweeten their cups with home-made sugar. THE PRESS ON THE MARINES. Kditoii llt'i.t.irrix: In your isiic of Friday lat. you published Capl. Alington's refutal of a charge of drunkenness, made by the Press againM some of tho crew of the 11. M. S. Satellite who were on shore on a specified evening last week. In return the Press indulged in a singular attack on Captain Aling ton's claim to credibility and on the bad conduct of mnn-of-war's men in general. 1 ventured to protest against this assault, but as the Press does not bec lit to publish my letter, may I request the favor of your inserting it. 1 am, Sir, Your obedient servant, Tiieo. II. Davii. Honolulu. Oct. 10th. 188:.. To the Editor of the Press, Sir: Captain Alington has left a great many friends in Honolulu, and, so far as I know, only one enemy. Amongst his friends there will be but one feeling, on perusing your comment this morning; and since Capt. Alington confined himself to denying the truth of a statement made by you, which you do not, even behind his back, summon cour age to repeat, his friends may safely leave your original statement to its fate. It is undoubtedly an astute stroke on your part, to take refuge in a somewhat ungenerous and possibly equally untruthful slur on every man-of-war that has touched here for the last two years. But as no bond is stronger than the obligation of hospitality, and no sentiment more sacred than that of ljjyalty to ab sent friends, 1 fear few of your read ers to-day have escaped the feeling that both bond and sentiment have been rudely violated and against this violation 1 respectfully protest. There is also the question of your taste involved, but upon that point it is perhaps unnecessary to trouble you. I am, Sir, Your obedient servant, Tur.o. II. Davii. Honolulu, Oct. 10th, 1885.
