with propriety 1 tennel th; cnaik'-r-, and with

men of enter prine, energy and firmneeo at the fiead
of aUiiira, we may certainly and t.edily luvk for
great and beneficial chang'-f in well, about
CTerything, down to even the price of living.
W hile adopting neither of these opposite ex
treuiee, we believe there are reasonable grounds
for expecting at the hanJd of the resent Minietry,
not only a definite, declared and bettled jolicy, on
general jrincijles. but the inception of some
ineaeurca of enterprise, and activity, tlutt ohall be
in marked Contrast with tho dawdling, reJ-tupe
etyle to w Licit the country Las for years been ac
roatouied, and under which everybody and every
thing Law, metaphorically rj-akiiig, gone to seed.
Truly, the men who Lave just taken their teatd in
the Cabinet of oor young and newly elected King,
have presented to their hands a noble opportunity
to distinguish their own names, and by able statce
maiiHhip raise Hawaii from the Eluugh of despond
into which, through the errors and the misman
agement of the jast, the has been gradually de
clining, and to lift her, step by step, to the post
of honorable prosperity and thrift to which her
position and resource unquestionable entitle her.
The tafek it will be acknowledged is a severe one,
and ita attempted performance implies wisdom
and skill to devise, tact to propose, and untiring
industry and fertility of resources to carry out.
Important measures must be planned and care
fully weighed, and the arguments for and against
thoroughly scanned, in order to meet the objections
of critics, who we all know by experience, arc
mora plentiful than fair in our email community.
Let us venture generously in advance to credit the
the new Ministry with the possession of all the
peculiar and varied qualifications thus indicated
aa necessary in the discharge of their duties bo as
to meet the requirements of the situation and the
just expectations of the country.
j J3o ixist; aa the (.JoTernincnt continues to own
,the types and presses with which the (Jazclte is
printed, 60 long probably will that journal con
tinue to be a quasi government organ. The at
tempt has been made quite frequently both by
the late administration and by the Gazette itself,
to 6liakc off that character, which bjr tho nature
of things re-cms to adhere to it, and the charge
was even made editorially in an amusing fit of ill
humor, that the A nvKRTitEK was tho "official"
organ ot the ('overnmcnt. That was however so
far-fetched an idea that it was not even recognized
as a joke. A leading article in this week's issue
of the Gazette, under the prominent and suggest
ive Leading 44 Policy of tLe Administration," Laa
attracted attention, the more jiarticularly from
so tLat, while the editor of that 44 independent
journal ' is undoubtedly responsible for the arti
cle, its tone and manner authorize us to accept it
as agreeing withlhTfvrewrroI the iKrw"CdTTricCriT
not inspired from that source. And indeed, no
particular barm would result were the word
" official " affixed to the article in question, so far
as the administration would be thereby committed
to any Teally definite line of policy. It may be
characterized ns a not very artistically executed
but diffusely worded epecimen of non-committal
talk; and as puch we will briefly review it, pre
mising that we find nothing in it to serioubly
condemn.
At the outset, we are IcJ to expect a revelation,
which however we read on to the end of the col
umn without finding; although it is quito true,
ai stated, that 44 the public, both native and for
eign, will bo anxious to lean, first, whether the
Cabinet Lave any settled policy; and next, what
that policy ia to lc." The first intimation of
ministerial policy'' is in regard to the rioters of
tho 12th inst., and wc arcassured that it is con
sidered best that the law in their cases should
take its course. We should certainly foci alarm
for pos.-ible consequences wero the idea seriously
entertained "of an immediate exercise of Royal
clemency" for these men, misguided though they
were; and the declaration of intention to adhere
to the principle set forth in the somcwliat hack
neyed 44 Fiat justitia," Ac. is satisfactory. What
follows immediately after this quotation is very
fair reading; though the thoughts will not 6trike
ono ns new, including the quotation from Shak
6Tre who, it is sad to think, died without ever
knowing anything about these Islands. But In
this paviuraph occurs the only allusion, and a
very slight one at that, which the quasi govern
ment organ ajgns to make to the subject ot the
recent appointments to the Bench of the Supreme
Court. 44 The Coujitution (with a large C) of
the Bench" of the h'.est tribunal of the land
certainly deserves moreVmsideration than can be
bestowed in three lines ol stilted " fine writing."
The once mocli vexed 6uject 0f Pearl LIatW
is deemed worthy of a paragi.ph ot five lines, in
which trembling patriots are reassured by the an
nouncement that the present Cabinet are as one
man agreed that "no cession of territory-will
ever bo proposed by them ou any ground or pre
tence whatever." Wc breathe freer but after
all, why attempt to resuscitate a self-cvidently
44 dead duck " ?
The subject of a Reciprocity Trinity with the
United States, in fruitless endeavors to obtain
which it is said wc have wasted much time, is
treated philosophically, and we are given the very
sound advice to in the future attend to the de
velopment of our productions and our commerce
oa a Eclf-rcliant and independent basis." But
one cannot fail to admire the facility with which
this writer passes from grave to gay, for the con
cluding portion of the paragraph of which the
foregoing is a part, speaks of the next overtures
for a treaty of reciprocity coming from America,
anxious to make us a present of half a million per
annum which of course is intended as a side
splitting joke. And is not reciprocity also 44 a
dead duck " ?
44 Well-considered and rigorous sanitary meas
ures for the whole group," will be brought for
ward in the next legislature. Wc heartily con
cur in the desirableness of such measures, but
suggest that there is a ossibility of our attempt
ing too much and so failing almost wholly; espe
cially in view of the rtyle and probable tone of
the Assembly with which Ministers will Lave to
deal.
Tho next paragraph, though awkwardly con
structed and consequently somewhat involved,
amounts to this : The business community may
rest a?fliired, from the fact ihat one of the promi
nent members of the Cabinet has been President
of the Chamber or Commerce, that measures of
commercial, fiscal and financial policy will neither j
be neglected by thy government lor be in opjosi- !
ti n t the views of business men. This promises !
soiuc definite action in the not very distant future, ,
and is so far encouraging. j
But by far the most singular portion of this
exposition of the 44 Policy of the Administration "
is tic twenty lines devoted to the 44 all-important
subject of religion;" and here the writer, Laving
evidently gone a-fishing in strange waters and got
beyond Lis depth, flounders painfully. Those
readers who baj p-cn to be believers in " the great
religion of Christianity," are comforted with the
assurance that they actually have the eympathy
of the Administration, which is quite willing to
admit that, take it all together, Christianity
"seems to adapt itself to all climes and to all
races, and to commend itself equally to the intel
lect of the philosopher and to the untutored mind
of the peasant." This, and much more of mere
twaddle, coupled with the extremely needless inti
mation that the Ministers have no intention of in
terfering with freedom of conscience or, what is
quite as entirely out of the question, of diverting
government funds to sectarian purposes, had all
been much better left unsaid. It incurs the risk
of giving offense to some, be deemed an attempt
to patronize religion while at the same time hold
ing it in ill-disguised contempt and this from a
professed Christian editor !
And here we conclude our review, scriathnt of
all the Gazilte's joints of 44 Policy of the Admin
istration ;" tlie short paragraph at the end being
merely a poetical flourish and a somewhat pretty
allusion to the approaching millennium, the prin
cipal promoters of which appear to be 44 Minis
ters of .State, Ministers of the Gospel, and last,
though not least, the Press." And so ends the
Gazettes first Essay on Ministerial policy. Suc
ceeding chapters will be looked for with some
interest.
Official Correspondence.
The Gazette of this week contains nearly two
columns of correspondence from the Foreign Office,
which, as it is of quite a formal character, we will
summarize. Coder date of the 12th, the then in
cumbent of that office writes to the Representatives
of the United States and Great Britain, informing
them that 44 a riotous mob have unexpectedly made
a violent attack upon the Court House and the mem
bers of the Legislature," and that the government
44 have not the force at hand to resist," and request
ing aid at the earliest moment possible from the
ships of those nationalities, to assist 44 the police in
quelling the riot and temporarily protecting life and
property." On the same day the Minister writes
to the Commissioner of France, informing him of
the election of the King, of the attack by the mob
on the Court House, and of the call for aid upon the
ships of war, and it is added that " had there been
a French ship of war in port, M. Ballieu would also
have been requested to join in affording the author
ities temporary aid." Under the same date, M.
Ballieu in acknowledging receipt of the Minister's
dispatch, says 44 You may rest assured that I would
have given to the French forces similar instructions
to those transmitted by Mr. Peirce and Mr. Wode
house, and that the good feelings of the country
which I represent will never be wanting in matters
involving the security of the Hawaiian nation and
of the inhabitants of these islands." On the 19th,
His Fx. W. L. Green, (who on the previous day had
assumed the duties of the Foreign Office) informs
the American and British Commissioners " that such
arrangements have now been made for the preserv
ation of order in this city as will allow of the with
drawal of the forces which were landed from " the
U. 8. S. Portsmouth and Tuscarora and II. B. M.'a
S. Tent Jos, 41 which have rendered such invaluable
services to His Majesty's governmeut." To this,
appropriate replica wr roooiwd fivm tii itomUic
Commissioners, informing that the forces would re-
nt..lr n- lhnQUll fin tl.A 'M sr jlip MinMpr
forms the French Commissioner that the occasion for
the presence of tho foreign troops having passed
away, they had returned to their respective ships;
and on the same date the Minister, by command of
the King, thanks the American and British Commis
sioners in His Majesty's name, and in that of His
government, and through the Commissioners, Com
manders Belknap and Skcrrett of the Tuscarora
and Portsmouth, and Captain Ray of the Tenedos,
44 for the prompt and efficient aid rendered to the
local authorities in suppressing the riot in this city
on the 12th inst. The events of the 12th inst., un
fortunate as they may have been, served to exhibit
the feelings of friendship which exist between the
countries, and the certainty with which this govern
ment may rely in cases of emergency upon the cor
dial and disinterested co-operation of the Represent
atives and ships of the United States, as well as
those of Her Britannic Majesty." The reply of the
British Commissioner is dated on the 22d, and that
of the American Commissioner on the 23d. Major
WoJehouse says : 44 1 beg that you will, in my
name and in that of Captain Ray of Her Majesty's
ship 'Tenedos, express to nis Majesty, and His
Majesty's Government, our .thanks for their kind
recognition of the services which we were enabled to
perform on the occasion of the riot of the 12th of
February. It is hardly necessary for me to give the
assurance 4 that in any case of emergency, His Maj
esty's Government may rely upon the cordial and
disinterested co-operation of Her Britannic Majesty's
ships of war. " In the reply of Mr. Peirce the fol
lowing language is vised : 44 The purport of said
note was communicated immediately to the gallant
U. S. Naval Officers named. In their behalf, and by
their request, I now tender to His Majesty and the
Hawaiian Government, our joint and grateful ac
knowledgments and sincere thanks for the expres
sions of your generous appreciation of the services
rendered as referred to, and, presented in your note,
in words gratifying to a naval officer's sense of pro
fessional pride and honorable to the service of which
they are members. In reply to your allusion, in re
gard to t'ue friendship that subsists between the
United States and this Kingdom, permit me to re
mark that that friendship has existed uninterrupt
edly for three quarters of a century past, with what
benefit to this nation the recording angel and human
annals will show. May the future intercourse of the
two peoples be as happy and as glorious as the post."
(Translated from "Hawaii Ponoi," Feb. 2oth.)
The Hawaiian people ought to learn some lessons
from the disturbance and riot that happened in Ho
nolulu the other day. The people who think seri
ously will learn that there are among ns many who
do net think seriously, and who are easily deceived
and excited to mischief by bad men. The shameful
destruction of property that took place and the at
tack on the members of the Assembly, shows how
v cry important it is that good citizens should make
it known that they will stand firm together to uphold
the laws and to put down violence.
The mob, as we now find out, were excited by the
lying words of certain leaders, who told them if
Kalakaua became King the taxes would be increased,
and if Emma became Sovereign, the taxes would be
reduced. The ignorant mob seemed not to know or
think that no king can increase or decrease taxes
w ithout the consent of the Representatives. Another
very important thing they did not perhaps remem
ber, that by their lawless and violent acts they were
saying to foreign nations that Hawaii is not able to
take care of herself or to maintain an independent
government. Any more of such disturbances will
perhaps afford to foreign governments an excuse for
ceasing to regard our independence, that independ
ence which we are all so anxious to maintain. So
that we see that every lawless act of the mob of
February 12th every destruction of property and
every blow at the Representatives waa an insane
blow at Hawaiian independence ! It is no use to say
that they have mobs in America and England they
are able to put them down themselves, and they were
never auowu w oo.igca it) c.i ijr tee aia oi lor- i
eikrn men of w.r to keep the peace. Therefore let j
all who love Huwaiian inJepcaJer.ce take a severe
lesson from thia ri jt.
Let us shew lo the world, ty cur maintaining law
anJ good enter in the future, anJ obeying cheerfully
the authority cf the government, that wc are ailc to
take care of ourselves, and thus secure the perma
nence of ct.r national independence. Let this
thought go lcrth an 1 be cherished ly all true Hi
waiians from IFawaii to Niihau.
Ma. Ei.iToa : A simple reference to the facta in
relation to ti e late Police Court examinations of the
several election rioters, must suffice to refute the at
tack made by your correspondent "Argus" in your
hut issue. TIhi record of the proceedings and evi
dence darirg the fsar days' laborious investigation,
kept ty Mr. H. Macfarlane, shows that of the "4
cases brought before the Court 55 were committed
for trial on aburJant evidence, and only a few ac
quitted for inuufficient testimony, every one of the
latter beinr, discharged at the instance of the pros'
cuting officer. Not a solitary case was discharged
on the sole judgment or responsibility of the Court.

THE HAWAIIAN ISLANDS ARE
noted the world over for their unrivaled salubrity of
climate. Certain localities in the group are espec
ially favored in this way. The District of Rous, on
the leeward side of Hawaii, bas long been famed as a place of
resort for invalids with bronchital, or lung diseases, n uh its
pure and mild atmosphere, with its absolute freedom from
storms or high winds, with its porous soil which, with all its
rich vegetation, retains no dampness and yields no malaria, and
with an unvarying temperature that of the American or
Southern European June ALL THE YEAR ROUND, the
climate of Kona Is one of the healthiest and most luxurious on
the glohe.
The undersigned, at bis house at Kaawaloa, a house une
qualed in the district for size, cleanliness, commodiousness,
anil thoroughness of furnishing, is prepared to give boarders
excellent rooms and all obtainable comforts in the way of diet, at
the low rate of $ 5.00 per week. There are fresh water baths
on the premises, and fine sea bathing within a short distance.
