When Burns penned the sentiment that it would be of great advantage to us " Wad sonic power the giflie trie lib. To sec oursels as ithers see us," the Hawaiian Islandb were little known, and the city of 'Hono lulu had not i cached the protoplasm stage of development. Tlie poet may therefore be excused for doing the Honolulu ofthe latter part of the 19th century a manifest injustice;" for it would he almost a national calamity if we should be subjected to the necessity of seeing ourselves as others arc disposed to sec us. As seen from abroad, wc arc an isolated set, exiled fiom civilization aud atllicted with unbearable ennui. That wc have paved streets aud a froad supei visor is noted with amazement by touribts who land on'our shores. The astonishment almost invariably experienced by visitors during their first days in Honolulu is proof posi tive that this Kingdom, even in the great centers of population abroad, is an unknown country. Persons have landed on these shores with the notion that the native clement in so ciety is a nonentity, and are sur prised to find the ancient Hawaiian "clothed and in his right mind" liko his white neighbor. Nor are these absurd opinions confined to the unread and ignorant b' any means. The readers of the Augustus Sala letters could see cropping out all through that brilliant author's writing the idea that the evidences of advanced society he met hero were almost startling in their novelty to him. If to the half-frozen deni zens of two-thirds of the North American continent in this month of November wc could convey any adequate idea of the supremely salu brious climate of Hawaii, and con nected therewith the fact that the best society of Hoston, New York or Montreal has its counterpart in Ho nolulu, aud that the institutions of benevolence and moral enterprise for which more pretentious cities are famed, arc in full blast in our midst; it would come before them like a new revelation. Aloral ex hortations in Sunday schools in America arc very commonly spiced with the ominous warning that some wicked boys perforin feats of in iquity that would bo " bad enough for Sandwich Islanders." They forget, or rather never knew, that the crowning vices of the Ha wniians, as a race, arc those intro duced from the headquarters of civilization. As regards the native population, double mission work has been very effectively performed. They have been Christianized to a largo extent, and, at the same time, too many of them have been, if not demoralized, shunted off on to new ' tracks on the road to ruin. While nil the ways, both bad and good, of civilization lmvc been fully rooted in (Hawaiian soil, there need be no doubt in the minds of foreign tourists on pleasure bent or invalids in search of a salubrious winter cli mate, that in tho latitude of Honolulu they will find air, society , and institutions adapted to thoir several tastes and necessities. Until these facts are, thoroughly ventilated abroad, justice demands that tho ' gift of seeing ourselves as others see us Ije transferred to oilier people in such a way as that they mny wish to inform themselves of our claims to be properly known and under btood. TRAFFIC IN CHINESE CERTIFICATES. Anent the puzzling question of Chinese immigration, which j8 oonv ing up ns likely to becomo a national one in America ns well ns in Hawaii, tho following, which wc find in the Sacramento Union, will show that 1 ' for ways that aro dark and tricks that are vain, the heathen Chinco" and his confederates aro not to be beaten there any more than hero: Judge Hoffman, of tho United States District Court at San Fran cisco, has literally taken the bull by the horns in his remnrkablo charge to the Grand Jury. He flatly tells that body that there is an open tralllc in Chinese return certificates, nnd that he, the Judge, knows it to be so ; that he has proof of tho fact that red certificates have been ped dled about in open market in China town. Ho then proceeds to direct the jury where to search for evi dence, and makes their duly so plain that they cannot avoid it, how ever much inclined. He tells them, also, that these return permits arc sold in Hongkong, and in addition, that original permits to enter this country arc matters of merchandise in China. It is in the power of the jury, on this charge, to make such a report as will bring the whole subject directly within the range of diplomatic attention. In that case, it is to be hoped that this Govern ment will demand such an account ing as China will not dare to refuse. KING CORN. The Sacramento Union furnishes the following item, showing the enormous crops grown in the United States, particularly that of Indian corn: Corn is King, undoubtedly, if the value of the entire crop produce'd of cotton, wheat and corn be reckoned. Several times the yield has ex ceeded 1,500,000,000, and now it is expected to reach 2,000,000,000 bushels, and even if only 20 cents per bushel should be realized by the producer, less than corn is sup posed to be ordinarily worth for feeding to cattle and hogs, such a crop would be worth $400,000,000. When tho country lias produced over 0,000,000 bales of cotton thus far, it has not been worth to the producer $50 per bale; and when it has produced over 400,000,000 bushels of wheat, as the Western farmers well know, the. average price to the producer has not ex ceeded 75 cents per bushel. Last year, with unusually large crops, the Bureau estimate of the value to producers was about $255,000,000 for cotton, $330,000,000 for wheat and SG 10,000,000 for corn. The estimates of the Bureau may per haps be rather higher than the actual return to the producers, but they, nevertheless, illustrate with sufilcient accurncj' the relative im portance of these great crops. PROHIBITION AGAIN REASONED. BT D. M. CKOWXEY. Editor Bulletin: Having been absent from Honolulu for nearly a month, I am pleased to find "Nota lienc's" silence accounted for by his ahsence also, and as our pre vious tilting was only a preliminaiy skirmish, in which the real question of Prohibition was untouched, I am rejoiced to learn that his "soul's in arms and cacer for the fray." In consenting to draw a lance with "Nota Bene," I confess to having but one purpose; to arrive at the truth. I am not interested pecu niarily pro. or con. in the liquor business, and as I detest sophistry on tins question in which there appears to me vast issues involved, it is pleasing to read "Nota Bono's" assurance that his sole purpose in the discussion is to steer his fellow man "into the path of truth and correct understanding." I trust, therefore, that we are mutually open to conviction by the force of honest argument, and if I can find that my defection from the "ruddy bumper," which happened sixteen years ago, was an error of judgment that the philosophic reasoning of "Nota Bene" might have spared me, may hap it is not even now too late to mend by returning to the path and practice dictated by a "correct un derstanding." I regret to have to commence by directing "Nota Bone's" attention to a sentence in my last letter in which he has labored to place mo in a most ludicrous light. My words had reference to a scries of crimes quoted by Mr. II. S. Townsend in a letter to the Bux letik, and to which "Nota Bene" denatured, and wroto to tho effect that it was one-sided to quote crimes of persons in drink, and not to give those of persons in their "cool sober senses." My words were that " 'Nota Bene would find it hard to give a list of such crimes as Mr. Townsend quoted, committed by men in their cool sober senses." This is very different from "Nota lJene's" inter pretation that "D. M. C. thinks it a pity that I did not give a long list of crimes committed by persons who were sober," Tho gist of tho matter lay in tho nature of the crimes. To contend that many of the crimes enumeintcd by "Nota Bene" could be executed by an intoxicated per son, would be manifestly absurd, but I do contend, that drink is a contributnry cause to nino-tenths of tho cool-headed crimes mentioned. If wo want to know how far drink is responsible for crime, wo have it from tho mouths of tho judges them selves. The lowest estimnto I know of, is that given by Justice Kay of tho English Queen's Bench, who snys, "1 know by my experience that CO percent of the crime of thi3 kingdom springs from this cause. Nota Bene" uses strong language in the following: "In D. M. C.'s communication ho shows the true metal of all Prohibi tionists, when he endeavors to shield and defend the unprincipled conduct of their standard bearer St. John. Of course ho had not read in his one-sided papeis, of the rascality of their leader, and unless it were therein printed it must in his opinion oe untrue, ami a paper printing any thing derogatory to the hypocritical character of their beloved chief must of a necessity lie an insignifi cant and totally unreliable villifier." I am a reader of newspapers, and I have not seen in my wide scarcli any mention of "unprincipled con duct"' of Gov. St. John. "Nota Bene," by nil lilies of fair dealing, is open to censure for repeating this innuendo after challenge and with out proof, in reference to his source of information. A part of the "true metal" of Prohibitionists is not to have a very high opinion' of the man's mission who walks into print masked and cloaked in a 710m da plume to stab absent men's char acters. Gov. bt. John is by all accounts a tough man to challenge face to face. As to the references made again to the Cinncinnati Commercial Ga zette and Harper's, I thought I had disposed of them before. The former is owned, and exiits for tho benefit of the "Liquor Dealers' Union" of Ohio. It professed to be Republican, but its love of bar room phraseology as the sample previously quoted by "Nota Bene" will show renders it unfit for any but its special patrons. Is it on this score that "Nota Bene" extols it? The Christian Statesman and the Union Signal exist by their mer its. As to Harper's Weekly I am perhaps an older magazine reader than "Nota Bene," and can remem ber Harper 25 years ago' when it wasted the small influence it had in vilifying Abraham Lincoln and try ing vainly to hamper his adminis tration. Politically, Hurper's never had the influence of a New York third-rate daily. Governor Iloadly is evidently a great authority lwjth "Nota Bene," who artfully conceals the source from whence the great Iloadly draws the inspiration which gives him the correct understand ing of the liquor business in Ohio. Will "Nota Bene" deny that his Prophet Iloadly is attorney to the Liquor Dealers' Union? What a mighty force there must then be in that word "We" in Iloadly's speech, "We are opposed to sumpturcy legislation, and in favor of licensing the traffic in intoxicating liquor." He might have added r "We, Us & Co., the attorney, and the 15,000 liquor dealers of Ohio will fight this out for all the dollars and cents there is hanging to it. I know that I can bid a long farewell to all my greatness as governor, that in Octo ber next a prohibitionist will be governor. I know I cannot say 'We' on behalf of the people, as 320, 1G7 votes were in favor of a prohibition amendment to the State constitution in 1883, against 98,050 for license, but my grip upon tho 15,000 men who are banded together by the strong ties of avarice and self-defense is, what I want for what there is in it." "Nota Bene" is curious to know what that party of Kansas editors were doing out so far west as Oregon. I cannot pretend to fully answer the question. A friend lent me a copy of the Weekly Orcgoni an about March last, in which about 50 Kansas editors nailed the lie about the prohibitory law being a failure in Kansas. It may be as suggested, that they temporarily migrated to inhale the ajr of free dom on the Sound, but apparently they had a mission, for Oregon has caught the prohibition infection; her legislature having adopted a bill submitting constitutional pro hibition to the people. To le continued.) CHICKEN STEALING OR " FOWL PLAY." Ewtoii Bulletin: This morn ing's issuo of the P. C. A. suggests n patrol of police for Kapalama and Makiki districts, and if that is not done the correspondent suggests buckshot, etc. Being one of the unfortunates who live out of police protection (although tho Marshal lives out that way) 1 humbly beg to differ from ye correspondent of the '. C. A., or at least suggest in ad dition that on a certain morning to be hereafter set, tho town police be tween the hours of 4. nnd 0 a. m. btop and overhaul all Chinnnien or Portuguese who may bo bringing poultry into town to sell to the icceivers on Meek, Maunaken and Hotel streets, and have all said poultry taken to Police Station yard, taking the names of the nominal owners, then in that morning's issue of thoiJ. V, A. and D.H.Prm no- tlfy all persons who havo beon rob. bud of poultry up to (hat time, to call round and idcnlifyt if they can, the said poultry to bo kept in cus tody till 2 p. m. Even if none were identified it would have a good moral effect. Then again the people who ecll poultiy should bo interviewed and asked where they got their silp-i plies, etc., and if they can bo caught buying stolen poultry, give them twice as much punishment as tho original thief. The man who n few days back testified he gave only $C for 20 fowls, must havo known they were stolen. There is hardly n'liousc or premises out on tho plains that has not been robbed once or twice, and the thief must have some means to silence the cries of poultry to get away so nicely. As to shooting, first catch your hare and then not one percent of those who say they would shoot, would do so. Mr. John Leal deserves the thanks of the whole community for what he did last week in hunting down that China man. If others would do likewise, we might put a stop to so much chicken stealing, for all this talk of the police doing this or that is bosh we can't have a policeman at every house. But they might be instructed what to do, and their superiors sec that they do it, not only on fowl stealing, but on ovcr-diiving express horses, overloading drays, cruelty to horses, etc. I hope you will ex cuse my taking up so much 'space, but poihaps these suggestions may lead to something, or some other person may improve on them.
