PACIFIC STEAMSHIP COMPETITION.
Tho surprising news came by the
steamship City of Sydney, that ar
rived from the Australian colonics
last night, that the arrangement for
carrying the mails between Austra
lia and America, by way of New
Zealand and the Hawaiian Islands,
had been broken up. Mr. John
Pearce, of John Elder & Co., Glas
gow, owners of the steamships
Zealandin and Australia, who had
engaged to have those vessels par
ticipate in the new contract initiated
and promoted to a conclusion by
the New Zealand Government, has
withdrawn from the contract with
his two steamships and announced
his intention of starting an opposi
tion line from Sydney to San Fran
cisco, calling at Fiji and Honolulu
but leaving Auckland out. There
is no very definite cause assigned
for Mr. Pearee's withdrawal, but one
or two evident facts throw some light
upon his action. During the con
tract of the Pacific Mail Steamship
Company, New Zealand is con
sidered in Sydney to have system
atically subordinated the interests
of New South Wales to her own, in
dealing with the service. This sel
fish policy is alleged to have been
at the bottom of New Zealand's
single-handed efforts to have a new
contract negotiated as that w ith the
Pacific Mail Steamship Company
was approaching its end. We have
not space, at this writing, to particu
larize, but the foregoing is the gist
of public opinion as reflected in
the Sydney press. Then the new
arrangements, involving tranship
ment at Honolulu, have proved ex
ceedingly unpopular in commercial
circles of Sydney. An agitation
has gained great strength there, in
consequence of the disaffection re
ferred to, in favor of a direct ser
vice. A meeting of the Chamber of
Commerce, and another of influen
tial gentlemen representing the com
mercial and shipping interests of
Sydney, have both stiongly pro
tested against the break in the route
at Honolulu. In reply to a dele
gation from the Chamber conveying
their views above-mentioned, Mr.
Sec, the new Postmaster-General
(there 1ms just been a change of
Government in New South AValcs),
defended the now arrangement and
signified his opinion that he should
have to carry out the engagement,
in connection therewith, entered
into by Mr. Norton, his predecessor.
The contract has been ratified by
the New Zealand Legislature, but
has yet to be submitted to that
of New South Wales. So far
as the latter colony is con
cerned, therefore, in view of the
strong feeling against the composite,
and in favor of a direct seivice, the
contract is in a critical position. In
the meantime Mr. Pearce lias insti
tuted a direct service, as hcictofore
fatated, between Sydney, Honolulu
and San Francisco. Doubtless he
W confident of obtaining a subsidy
from New South Wales, without
wjhich it is se.uccly probable that the
diicct line can bo maintained. It
may hero bo stated that the firm of
John Elder & Co. has never ap
proved of tho agreement made be
tween the Pacific Mail Company and
the Oceanic Company, dining the
' late contract, by which tho latter
bought from the former a monopoly
of the fi eight and passenger trafllc
between Honolulu and San Fran
cisco. Their two steamers being
now independent deservo a liberal
share of the Honolulu trade and the
patronage of tho travelling public.

THE LAWLESS ELEMENT.
In yeslei day's issue n correspon
dent proposed n remedy for tho
growing pievnlcncc of picdntory
offenses. It is, however, very doubt
ful if such measures as he recom
mended are within the scope of ex
isting law. Yet it is absolutely
necessary that residents should be
protected, and if that is beyond the
power of the authorities to have
done, then properly owners will havo
to combino in some method of de
fensive action upon their mutual be
half. People who have lived here a
long time allege that roost-robbing
and similar offenses have always
been common. Nevertheless there
can be no doubt that tho petty
criminal clement has never been
larger than it is now in the commun
ity. Neither is there any probability
that cither the number of maraudcis
will diminish, if no effective check
intervene, or that the degree of theii
criminality will change except m the
way of aggravated heinousness.
Unless something decisive be adopted
to tcm the rising tide of crime,
therefore, the likelihood is that
Honolulu will soon be a preserve of
a class relatively as large and abso
lutely as desperate as any city in
the world harbors. Many residents
have attributed the comparative
immunity of this city from serious
crime to the fact that the narrow
bounds of the kingdom and the
limited means of communication
with the outer world, make it a
great difficulty for anybody com
mitting a grave offense to elude the
grasp of justice. This may be a
serious delusion. Equally as reason
able explanations of the good charac
ter hitherto attaching to this com
munity arc, we believe, forthcoming.
Is it not probable that the main
reason for our past exemption from
violence may be found in the trac
table and peaceful nature of the
native race, and the exceptionally
good class of foreigners, outside of
contract laborers yet partly in
clusive of them, attracted hither by
the commerce and industry of the
country V Another likely reason for
the same thing lies in the changed
relations to the community, com
paring now with not very long ago,
of large portions of the population
imported as labor supply. Thou
sands ot contract laborers have de
cided that their terms of bound ser
vice were as much as they would
endure of toil among the cane, un
less forced to renew their contracts
by sheer necessity. Therefore, in
swarms these people, of different
nationalities, have left the planta
tions to hive in the city, here to
make a living by such methods as
were most readily discoverable by
them. Jt is doubtless from among
the habitations of the class just des
cribed that many, if not all, of the
nocturnal prowlers, at present giving
so much annoyance, sally forth to
pilfer and rob, availing themselves
of the shelter of darkness or the
guidance of tho moon, according to
their individual degrees of boldness
or illegitimate necessities. If the
last-mentioned are the real contii
buling causes of increasing criminal
activity in Honolulu, then, while
there is no prospect of the stated
conditions coining to an end, the
only rationn 1 conclusion is that tho
evil must co ntiiuie to grow until it
culminates in a veritable reicn of
terror, proviided efficient means arc
not adopted for speedily quelling
the predatory element. There will
not, perhaps, long bo wanting
demonstration of tho delusiveness
of that h'jnse of security, before
referred to, Jounded upon the diffi
culty of guilty rascals either per
manently hiding in the country or
escaping abroad, if offenses against
property, with occasional outrages
upon th'B person, continue so largely
as in tho late past to go unrequited.
Pcihnp.'j it would not be a rash pro
position to stato that Hie case of one
criminal evading his deserts gives
more encouragement to evil-doers
than c an be counteracted by the ex
ample s of two falling under tho
penal tics of justice. To give tho
law i ta due terrors, the exceptions,
3yei.f -r t
in grappling with orimc, must be in
the number of villains who go tin
whipt of justice rather than those
who are made to suffer for their
misdeeds. But here the caso is ex
actly leversedi the exceptions are
those who arc convicted, tho rulcy is'
formed of tho thieves and robbers
who escape. There is only one end
possible to such a condition of af
fairs : tho depredators must be put
under the iron heel of justice, or
they will subject the city to a regu
lar siege of anarchy, for a longer or
shorter period according to the com
parative ability of the respectable
residents to rid themselves of the
incubus wheu at lnst awakened to
action.
Dr. Ferran, the Spanish physician
who claims to have solved the ques
tion of preventing Asiatic cholera
by means of inoculntion, ha's sent
out tho first of a series of pamphlets
giving statistics of his experiments
in the cholera-infected districts
during the past summer. In the
towns of Albcrique, Aleira, Ueni
tayo, Catiaroja, Chestc, Chiva,
Masanasa, with a total population of
11, G41, Dr. Ferrari and his assist
ants inoculated 20,382 persons, leav
ing 21, 2o!) who could not, or would
not, resort to the proposed preven
tive. Of those inoculated only 232,
or 1.12 percent, were attacked, and
but 7fl died ; while of the uninocu
lated 1,581, or 7.-15 percent, were
attacked and 821 died.
An alarm against violent exercise
is sounded by the medical and sur
gical examiners. "Iron muscles
generally indicate an liypertrophicd
heart; the athlete is not destined to
become the long-lived, respectable
and useful citizen ; the sloggcr is all
right in his place, and is a popular
beast, but he is doomed to an early
dissolution. It may be accepted as
a general truism that any nature or
amount of exercise that will cause
the heart to jump or thump against
the chest-wall is exercise carried to
an excessive and alarming extent.
"I am very tired," said the lady
at the head of the boarding house
table, Monday morning, to the good
natured minister who sat at the other
end. "You should not be," said
tho parson; "you didn't preach a
sermon yesterday." "No," said the
lady, almost unconsciously; "but I
listened to one." Then followed an
oppicssive silence, which gave the
minister time to reflect that he had
come out only second best. Phila
