AMERICAN THANKSGIVING. la accordance with established custom and in reeponse to the invitation of Gen. Comlj, U. S. Minister Resident, American citizens general! rejourning or residing in Honolulu, observed Tboradsj last, tbe 27th instant, &a a daj of ttankagiving. The stores and places of business of leading American bouses were closed. We noticed two American vessels in port, out of eight, that recogniaed tbe Lj bj a dicplaj oi bunting, the -Etfa, of San Francisco being profusely deco rated. At 11 a. M. a large concourse of American residents assembled at the Fort street Church for Divine Service. There was a Uii sprinkling of other nationalities, among whom was II. R. II. the Lleir Apparent and His Excellency the Hawaiian Minister of Foreign A Sain, and sever al of tbe Foreign Consular corps. The services commenced with a Tuluntary on the organ, followed bj singing the doxology. Praise God from whom all blessings flow; Invo cation; reading of the 12Sth FBalm; Singing by the choir; Prayer by the Rev. Mr. Frear; Sing ing by the choir and congregation of Mrs. Hemans beautiful hymn: The breaking waves dashed high On a stern and rockbonnd coast. And the woods against a stormy sky Their gisnt branches tossed." l"be sermon by Rev. Dr. Damon was somewhat ut of tbe beaten track of tbe ordinary thanks pring discourse. Taking his text from Luke 6:33" Give, and it shall be given uato you," the speaker proceeded to give an exceedingly able and interesting dissertation on Reciprocity, as exemplified in the present times throughout the world. First, in Commerce; second, in Science; third, in Literature; and fourth, in Christianity. It will readily be seen that the materials in any one of these subdivisions are ample for a discourse in itself, and consequently only a brief but com prehensive review of each was made. Towards the dose, the Reverend speaker alluded some what fully to tbe "Chinese question," which has attracted of late so much attention in the East -ru I'nlifornia. While it is a question in some mindJ whether the Chinese invasion, with which i beae Islands are now threatened, is a legitimate I ause for thank-giving, or constitutes a fitting ; aabject for fasting and prayer,-we all know the I rosy hae it assume in the eyes or a few among , us, prominent among whom is the alway. entha- j Jjuti3 and genial preacher of our Thanksgiving ! .w urCFMtrT law. r.uvrua J m?rmun. Af-iJe from the more than ontent?d riTercnctj to the rop.-ctivc influx of Cliineoe. the di0'iur!e was an excellent one. which we fcbould like to eco printed. At the cni'lu.-iun of the wrmon, the grand an them, tx fatuili.ir to every patriotic Atuerican 'My country, 'ti of thee, Sweet land of liberty, Of tht-e I sing !" was given by the choir, the whole congregation joining in with an enjiiiut-i that made the church ring.

We Lave New Eoglaiid housewives here, and last Thursday many a table gtoaned under the burden of roaet turkey aud goose, plum pudding and mince aud pumpkin piee, aud other creature comforts all eugeeiive of subsequent indigestion and possible nightmare. In tact our devil appears to have Lad full punishment for overfeeding, as witness the following painful effort of his muse: Nay. bl 1 me not my griffs disclose. N.-r Jt-fta my mauaeri rouh.

And up and down my chamber floor Shall phantom turkeys flit. The physicians of this city assert that its oani tary condition, to which attention has recently been particularly drawn by the prevalence of lingering fever, o fur from improving is going from bad to worse, and that a great deal of eick. ncHS prevails. This fact will be our excuse for reverting again to the subject of sanitary reform, upon which we Lave written at intervals in these columns during the pat five or six years. By some, the ill-l cihh that has prevailed in Hono lulu of late jears generally in the form of low and lingering fevers is chiefly attributed to the in create of trees and fchrubbcry, excluding the sunlight and air from dwellings, together with the irrigatiou consequent upon an abundant sup ply of water from the government pipes, creating a continual dampnee and unwholesome exhala tions all over the city. That these causes may Lave something to da w ith the existence of mala ria and fevers, can be fairly argued, but they can hardly be the only ones, for the town of Lahaina is deeply ehaded with heavy groves of trees and shrubbery, continually subject to irrigation, with a large surface of pond water and swamps within its limits; and yet we have heard of no malaria or fevers as prevailing there. Cut in the opinion of many careful observers, the chief caufce of the malarious fevers of Honolulu, (as we have more than once before a seer ted) is the foul condition of privies and the absence of sewerage, or any means of carrying oil filth. ILe disposal of the refuse of the human body is an unpleasant subject to consider, but it is a very important one in connection with the subject of the public health. It was so regarded by the in spired lawgiver Motes, in Lis sanitary instructions to the children of Israel. In the 23d Chapter of Deuteronomy, 12th and 13th verses, an ordinance is declared, which it would be well if observed at the present day, and was most especially import ant in a camp of 44 six hundred thousand foot men " in the warm climate of Palestine. And in the warm climate of Honolulu there can be no question but that tbe neglected privies are rapid ly ruining our once exceptionally salubrious cli mate. They are the plague spots of tbe city. Many of 6uch festering pits, in the heart of the city, have been poisoning the air for years past. In many if not all of the large cities of Europe and America a system of drainage exists by pipes running through every etreet and leading to every dwelling house, so that the filth of the city is car. ried off, by occasional flushing with water, into some contiguous river or the sea. If this system of cleansing is perfectly carried out, and no foul air can return from the pipes into the houses, it will do the required work, and should be all that is needed. But this is not always the case. Sometimes a poisonous gas exhales from a waste pipe into a bed-room; or people have been struck with disease when affected by gases coming from a removed or repaired waste-pipe as in the case of the Prince of Wales, who nearly died of a dan gerous fever after lodging near a leaking waste pipe cr it may be that the neighboring stream or harbor is rendered putrid and exhales malaria on account of the accumulation of foul discharg es. All thcee things are to be taken into consid eration to cay nothing of the cost in money when any one suggests a system of sewerage for Honolulu. The plan of returning human refuse to the earth, like the simple regulation of Moses, is no doubt tbe best calculated to preserve the public health by the prevention of malaria. The longer we delay in taking some general action in this matter, the worse will become the sanitary condi tion of the city.' Let us not wait until tbe in creasing mortality forces action, but let the au thorities act at once. Under Section 281 of the Civil Code ample authority is given, as follows: 44 The Board of Health shall make such regula tions respecting nuisances, sources of filth, and causes of sickness, within the respective districts of the Kingdom, as it shall judgo necctary for the public health and safety." And herewith we beg to make certain suggestions for sanitary reforms in the direction indicated, which if carried out, will in our humble opinion remove the principal cause of malaria and disease: All privy pits that have been open and used for a number of years, should be at once filled up. New pits should he dug, say seven to ten feet deep, without walls of stone, brick or plank, so that the surrounding soil of the walls shall help to obsorb and defecate the impurities cast in. A barrel or box should be provided to stand inside or near the bouse that covers the pit, thia barrel or box kept filled with dry soil, provided with a scoop of aDy kind, with which to cast, every time tbe place is used, a small quantity of dry earth into tbe pit. New pits should be dug at stated periods, and tbe old ones filled in. The dry earth closet system, as explained in tbe Scientific American, is no doubt preferable to tbe above, but involves tbe carrying away of the de posits, facilities for which our community are not at present provided with. The plan proposed will require more time and labor than in tbe careless past, but we and our families will be healthier, and the atmosphere of our city will be purer. The Coming Perihelia of Planets. A pamphlet has recentlj been published in Lon don, entitled Lite from the Dead," which is des cribed on the title page as'A National journal ad vocatiag the identity of the British Nation with the Ten Tribes of Israel." In this pamphalei is pub lished Professor C. A. Grimmer's paper on the Coming Perihelia. The Otago IPUness (New Zea land) gives tbe paper entire, consisting of three chapters, and occupying several columns. Tbe writer prophesies that " from ISSO to 1889 will be one unirersal carnival of death. No place on earth will be entirely free from plague. The Paci fic Coast will not suffer anything in comparison to any other portion of the globe. Tbe coincidence of those planets in perihelion will always produce epidemics and destructive diseases. Three of these planets are maliGcs. and Jupiter, although a benrfic. produces evil through Association; or tech nically, by conjunction with the others. Diseases I a OaBlDCWJ OI It."' will !peai,the nature of which will baf3e the skill l the most eminent physicians.

Now 542 and 1665 were tbe woist piai.-,--! as of which the world has any re Cord. From 542 to 548 it has been estimated that from 75 000 OoM to 120,000.000 victims suffered d-ata by the plague. ( "Gibbon's History." vol. iii. chap, xiv ; also "Cousins' History Rome," vol. ii.. t . 17s! )" H-ie i s .ni"thing applicable to Honolulu : -Unless correct sanitary measures are taken before lfefiO th- plague will be devastating large cities on the Atlantic eo.!-t of America. America will lose more than iiiteen millions of inhabitants if tbe sew ers oi h-r cities are as imperfect in 1889 a.s they are to day. The drainage of every city must be . perh-cted to entirely escape from this monster who : fattens ii loiil matters and feasts on the decayed : accumulations of stuffed sewera. All vaults should be cleaned, and the strictest sanitary measures adopted and tigidly enforced. Have we so soon forgotten the 15,000 who sleep in their graves, two thirds of whom would be alive to-day. bad clean ' line.-s predominated in those cities instead of rot- tenness oil which the yellow fever thrived. Mem I phis and Granada have sewers to-day that are ; clofffred. and vaults filled with refuse matter with- I in two feet of tbe surface. So has Honolulu. t . When "ociety becomes too lazy, or wilfully negli ! gent in cleuuliiiess. it ought to be afflicted with plagues." Taxation. Mk. Kditok : This subject is one in which (ill ; the pi-nph' of atiy land are more widely interested ' than any other ; for as a rule they are all liable to ! be taxed and a just taxation for tbe support of ' the necessary government is as universally con ceded to be proper. The amount of taxes should be limited to the necessities of tbe government and ; equitably distributed among tbe taxpayers. In tbe language of the Constitution : Each member . of society has a right to be protected by it tbe I government in tbe enjoyment of bis life, liberty ! and property, according to law, and therefore he shall be obliged to contribute bis proportional , -bare to the expense of this protection." The Con ; stiiution is the fundamental law of tbe land. It j defines tbe principles of government, and any law : enacted which violates tbe principles of the Con- ; stitution is void, or any rule of administration . under any such law Is void. Any law or rule so construed as in its practical application to contra- vene any principle deGned in tbe Constitution. ' which is the supieme and paramount law, is void and unconstitutional. " Proportional share" in tbe Constitution no doubt means that all shall con i trior te alike, it one man is taxed 5 on a carriage ' every other man should pay So on a carriage. If j one man is taxed one ceut on a dollar, every other man should be taxed one cent on each and every ; dollar. ; This is paying - bis proportional share." It is ; equitable, and conforms to tbe principles defined in tbe Constitution. But suppose tbe law should ! impose a tax upon A's carriage of $5. and S3 only j on B's. and A should be taxed two cents on every j dollar, and B but one cent on every dollar, and so i n. it would be plain that each man did not con tribute his proportional share." and tbe law im posing such unequal taxes would be unconstitu tional. It would violate its plainest principles Tbn Minister of Finance is authorised under the law to make rules for tbe Assessor and Collector Not only do the principles of tbe Constitution call tor equality in taxation, but tbe Supreme Court has decided double taxation to be unlawful. It violates the fundamental law. If. then, any law in its fair construction and application, imposes di rectly or indirectly a tax greater than the J per Cent, prescribed by the law on one, and not all. it is unconstitutional and void ; and if the Minister of Finance promulgates any rule for tbe adminis tration of bis department which in its observance compels any tax-payer to pay more than the rate imposed by law, he violates the Constitution, as held by the Supreme Court, and as is apparent to any intelligent man. Every man understands very nearly what be is worth, and on that basis what his tax or proportional contribution will be. If be knows that be is worth only fg 1.000. but is taxed for 2.000 under color of law. be knows that he is wronged, that injustice is done him. and the ignor ant as well as the intelligent know it. The ignorant may not know that tbe wrong done him is in violation of the fundamental law as well as tbe intelligent man. but be knows be is wronged, and feels it as keenly. If a law carried into execution violates any pro vision of the Constitution, then the law is uncon stitutional. The law of 1876 in certain cases may and does do this (as it appears to me). Suppose a plantation woith $100,000 has upon it a note and mortgage for S50.000 ; it is evident that the owner can have but $50,000 of property in tbe plantation, but be must be assessed under this law for $100. 000. Besides this, the owner of the note and mort gage must be taxed on $50,000, as it is solvent, with good security. If tbe planter has personal property amounting to $25,000 or 850,000. this may be deducted and make up the deficiency in bis property in whole or in part. But if he has no per sonal property, he must pay on the whole, though be is worth bat the half, and as tbe law declares Botes to be personal property, its owner must pay the taxes on $50,000. This application of the law of 187G violates tbe equality principle of taxation provided for in tbe Constitution, as it appears to the writer. No case has yet arisen under the law to call for tbe judgment of tbe Supreme Court, but cases of its application have occurred within his knowledge, resulting in over-taxation to a consid erable amount. Notes and other evidences of debt are personal property under tbe law. but they have no intrinsic value. Their value depends en tirely upon tbe contingent claim they give to property having an intrinsic value. A note against a man without property is of little value. It is tbe property of tbe debtor which gives value to tbe note or other evidence of debt. It is the contin gent interest in the property, though it may re quire process of law to perfect it, that gives the debt any value. The debt has no property value to the creditor, except as it is evidence of a con tingent interest in property lying behind it. If tbe property then is taxed, the creditor should not be, lor the debt. If be is taxed for it. the debtor should be allowed to deduet tbe amount of bis debt from it. This has been the usage in this Kingdom till tbe law of 1876, and it was substan tially jmt to all, and continues to be the prac tice, except in cases to which that law especially applies. The tax laws of this Kingdom need re vision, in the opinion of many ; or perhaps better still would be a new and simple code carrying out tbe equitable principle of tbe Constitution and ding equal justice to all. Perbiip it would be better that all properly should be taxed, wherever found in the jurisdiction of tbe Kingdom and receiving the protection of the laws, leaving the debtor and creditor to ad just tneir own matters ana relations, the party in possession of tbe property only being responsible to the government. This would be just to both the government and people and leave the relations of debtor and creditor to those alone who are con cerned in them. It is not to be supposed that any code, however simple, will cover all questions which may possibly arise. There will still remain the necessity for competent officers and by this I mean both intelligent and upright. Whether the system of Boards of Appeal might not be advan tageously modified, I do not now offer an opinion, but as constituted, it is doubtful if they are gener ally qualified to decide questions beyond the sim plest ones of fact. I trust that the coming Legis lature may do something to improve the working of our tax laws, bringing tbem more into harmony witb tbe equitable principles of tbe Constitution, and as any beneficial change can only be hoped for from careful thought and information on the general subject by a thoroughly competent mind, I hope the Cabinet will appoint the Attorney General (whose piovlnce it would seem to be) or some other suitable person t. committee to give the subject special consideration ; and tbe Chamber of Commerce might give valuable suggestions it in vited to do so. They are practical men of business, having in their several capacities a large portion of tbe taxes to provide for. and tbe largest pecun iary interests of tbe country requiring protection. In speaking of laws violating the Constitution being void. 1 did not mean to intimate that they must not form tbe rule of action to all to whom they apply, until tbey are pronounced unconstitu tional by the Supreme Court. Yours truly. A Taxpatkr. London, Oct. 25. Tbe Berlin com-spondfnt of the Daily J'etcs states that Russia is preparing two great expeditions, one from Orenburg for Turkestan, under tbe command of General Kau' mano, and tbe other from tbe army of tbe Cauca sus, which will converge upon Afghanistan, and a.'8'ist tbe rebellion tribes there to resist tbe Eng lish troops. A similar rumor ia published in Other papers. CXWutur ui me ti ui i Drunkenness in Sweden and Norway is cored in i the following manner : Tbe drunkard is rut in pris on, and bisoaly nourishment is bread soaked in wine. Daring the first day the prisoner receives tbe bread and wine with much pleasure. On tbe second day tbe food is not to acceptable. After that he takes his food with great repugnance. In general, eight or ten days of thia treatment suffices to produce such a disgust of liquor that the unhappy man is com pelled to absolute abstinence. After leaving prison, his drunkeness is radically cured, with an occasional exception, and tbe odour of liquor produces an in vincible repulsion. The new capital or Fiji. Private letters re ceived from Fiji by the s. s. Sura state that Sir Arthur Gordon has taken preliminary steps with the view of establishing Suva as the cspital of Fi?i. Two hundred and fifty coolies have been sent to con struct the necessary works for reclaiming the fore shore, water supply, roads, &c. The Government surveyor found fresh water available for the supply of the town from a branch of the Tamiona River. Vita Leva is by far the largest island in the group, possessing a splendid harbour at Suva, where the largest men-of-war can ride with perfect safety daring the hurricane sesson. The principal sugar and coffee plantations are on this island, on the Re wa and Navana Rivers No less than five mills are in work, or in coarse of erection, and samples of the coffee grown have been forwarded to Melbourne.
