The great Lick telescope is ren
dering a good account of itself. A
comet was discovered by Mr. Brooks
of Geneva on July G. Prof. Ilolden
early in August wrote from Lick
Observatory that this comet had
been regularly observed there, and,
not only that, but it iras found to
have two companions, one of which
bad a decided tail. Besides, four
other objects were descried in the
neighborhood which are believed to
belong to the sarac family. Import
ant additions to astronomical know
ledge may be expected from the
great observatory of California.
AN OBJECTION.
The argument is heard that the
Chinese ascendancy complained of
cannot within a score of years, in
the natural course of events, be
material! checked by the proposed
measures. It is contended that un
less the agitators are content to wait
a couple of decades for the desired
relief in the death or voluntary de
parture of a considerable proportion
of Chinese, they cannot be satisfied
with the moderate restrictions pro
posed. These contemplate, as has
surely with sufficient clearness and
frequency been explained, leaving
all Chinese now engaged in business
or handicraft undisturbed. We have
already shown cause why the de
mands being put forth at meetings
should he deemed acceptable hf
planters. That is, because they in
clude the privilege to that class of
obtaining all the Chinese labor thoy
require, subject to conditions of the
laborers' registration and remaining
in the country only while under con
tract to work. Now the objection
to the acitation above presented
calls for an answer. It would
be a strong objection upon the
presumption that the trade and
industry of the country had reached
high tide mark. It grows
weaker in proportion as hopefulness
takes possession of the mind with
regard to the future development of
the agricultural and commercial re
sources of the Kingdom. And surely
there are symptoms in the times cal
culated to inspire enlarged antici
pations of the country's future.
The sounds of progress are in the
air. The click of the inter-island
telegraph is about to impart a
stimulus to general business ; and
when before long Hip welcome spark
of intelligence comes flashing under
the ocean from the outside world, it
will infuse new life and ambitions
into the community. Bailway com
municaliou on this island will de
velop new wealth in the environ
ments of tho capital city. The
Oahu Hallway will also he the fore
runner of similar awakeuers of de
serts on the other islands to bloom
ing toilet and industrial song. There
will be fruit on every .island from
the persistent agitation, now some
times ridiculed, in behalf of diver
sified industries. Before many years
our chief port may confidently be
expected to be the rendezvous for
the commercial fleets of all nations,
for which it will be eminently adapt
ed and convenient upon tho con
summation of foiclgn telegraphic
connection and the, opening of a
Central American canal between the
two oceans. All these conditions
will make skilled labor and trained
talent at a premium in the islands,
and the probability is that with no
more Chinese reinforcements to
those now trading and operating
mechanical crafts, these will not bo
grudged nil that falls to them from
the greatly inci cased demand for
wares and work. Thero will more
over he many Chinese who have
made their little pile dropping out
of the country. We do not want
any of them to die except those who
fully owe the debt of nature, but
the highbinders may be expected to
kill a few of each other, and the law
to ct away with the killers. But,
not to jest on a serious subject,
there cannot fall to be a gradual de
crease from Chinese going home and
natural causes. Some, indeed, when
they lealie the foregone fact that
this is not to be a Chinese country,
will wind up their business affairs
within a few years and, folding their
tents, 'itcal silently away. In dis
cussing the elements of prospective
internal development, too, account
must be taken of the importation of
confidence in the country, both at
home and abroad, which will un
doubtedly be wrought through our
adoption of the motto, "Hawaii for
civilization!" All (hese considera
tions when thoughtfully turned over
lead to a strong conviction that there
is a great deal to be hoped for, be
ginning in the immediate future,
from a policyof Chinese restriction
out of which all injustice to Chinese
vested rights is eliminated. Our
position will ceitainly never be im
proved by doing nothing and leav
ing the question to the fitful con
tingencies of succeeding Legisla
tures varying in temper as well as
in circumstances of election.
THE SILENCE B80KEN.
comjii'xicati:d.J
The long silence that the P. C. A.
haa kept during the present Anti
Chinese agitatioH, broken by the
force of public opinion for the
first lime this morning, reminds one
of the Chinaman, who, when. raided
while gambling with others, disap
pears into a back room and roiling
up in bed clothing, boots and all,
insists on slumbering innocently
through all the ensuing racket
caused by the scuttling Mongolians
until, roused by an energetic shake,
he has to open one eye only to take
in the contemptuous grin on the
face of a police officer bending over
him which tells him "it's no go."
Our contemporary's editorials on in
sect powder, how to alight from a
tramcar, etc., during the agitation
of a life and deatli issue to the
country are as good proof that its
silence was a guilty and evasive one
as the Chinaman's boots were that
he knew more about gambling that
night tliMi he did about going to
bed.
One is all the more unfavorably
impiessed by such methods because
practised by the representative or
gan of the party or rather coterie of
individuals who claim to have re
tained a corner on all great moral
ideas ; because practised by an or
gan winch has headed its insect
powder editorials each day during
the past thirty days with the motto:
l!o just and fear not;
l.pt all the enuS thou uiin'at at be
Thy Country's, thy (.oil's and Truth's.
It is not our purpose to review
the P. C. A.'s editorial this morn
ing any moie than to say that the
paper in question has evidently been
forced by the present agitation
much against its will to show its
hand before tho elections and to de
clare itself against any amendments
to the constitution.
If recent efforts' on this issue shall
accomplish nothing more they will
noLdiave been made in vain, for if
we mistake not the Advertiser dur
ing the coming elections but for this
agitation would have come out with
a lot of shilly-shally talk moreor leas'
in- favor of an amendment to the dis
traction of voters, when at heart it
was opposed to it and after election
day would have attended the funer
al of the whole movement only too
gladly.
By all means let this agitation be
continued. More truth, more light
will bo the result and this the coun
try needs.
PUBLIC LANDS.

attacked the Ministry about its
policy in dealing with land ques
tions, in tho press, wo deem it fair,
to instruct the public, through tho
same medium, of the decision taken
by the Minister of Interior to sell as

THE NATIVES' JUST RIGHTS.
Kditoii Bruxm: I believe iny
Hclf to be earnestly solicitous that
all men should enjoy thotr just
rights, and especially that the ab
original Hawaiian should possess his
just Miaro in the government of tho
land of his fathers. As an earnest
supporter of the electoral provi
sions of the present constitution, 1
am subject to the painful accusation
by Nemo, the Elcle and their pniti
sans, of shaiing in the crime of de
priving the natives of their just
lights. I am strongly ill favor of
thnt provision of the constitution
which rcsti lets the right of voting
for Nobles to persons having $l!U0
income, or 89,000 estate. 1 am
utterly unable to sec wherein this
inflicts any injury or injustice upon
nntive Hawaiinns. The Hawaiian
never betorc possessed the privilego
of voting for Nobles at all, as they
were all appointed by the King.
Consequently he has not been rob
bed of a light which ho never pos
sessed. On the contrary ninny
Ilawniians having the requisite pro
perty qualification do now enjoy a
privilege not formerly theirs.
The outcry of Nemo and his like
is made in order to put into plausi
ble form a felt grievance whose real
nature is this. The Hawaiian citi
zen of foreign blood is now put upon
a literal and formal equality in vot
ing with the aboriginal citizen.
Every citizen of both races is direct
ly represented in the Legislature
by means of his own vote for Repre
sentatives. In addition, the skilled
workers, the men of some little in
telligence and ability, have a special
representation by means of their
votes for Nobles. Ilawaiians and
haolcs are voters alike and on tjie
same terms. This is the real griev
ance, and all else Is fancied and
factitious.
But Nemo will urge that herein
the haole holds an immense advan
tage because the number of skilled
haolcs earning SG00 greatly exceeds
the number of similar natives. This
enables the haolcs to control one
half of the Legislative Assembly.
Very well ; they have a majority of
votes for Representatives, and so
control the other half. Nemo prob
ably deems it a gicat injustice to
give the haoles an equal chance with
the natives in the control of the
government. I do not. I think it
is perfectly just and right, especially
when intelligence and capacity, as
proved by ability to earn luna's or
common mechanic's wages, are made
the qualification for the privilege
complained of. If half control of
the Legislature were retained by the
alii, or were conferred upon the
capitalist, I should strenuously ob
ject. If the poor and ignoiant citi
zen were debarred from rcpiesenta
tion, I should object. But the pre
sent arrangement I regard as wholly
desirable and beneficent to all con
cerned. It was a happy day when
a pernicious control of more than
half the Legislature was wrested
from the Sovereign, and the right
to choose one half of the House was
conferred upon the rank and file of
our skilled workers. 1 desire and
hope that natives may fast rise to
the exercise of this privilege. But
I think that any country is to be
commiserated where government is
controlled by masses of ignorant
and incapable men, under the fool
ish and fanatical theory of an in
herent and universal right to suf
frage. S. E. Bishop.
THE SIZE OF HEAVEN.
Captain J. B. Sharkley, a mea
surer of vessels in the Boston Cus
tom House, has been devoting his
talent to the figuies in Revelations
in order to arrive at a measurement
of Heaven. He takes the statement
in Revelations xxi. and figures it out
thus: "And he measured the city
with the reed twelve thousand fur
longs. The length and the breadth
and the height are equal. Twelve
thousand furlongs 7, 920,000ft.cub
ed 197,798,088,000,000,000;000ft.
Reserving one-half of this space for
the throne and Court of Heaven, and
one-half of the remainder for streets,
we have 12-1, 198,273,000,000,000,
000 rooms. We will suppose the
world did, and 'always will con
tain 900,000,000, and that a ge
neration lasts ill 1-8 3'ears, mak
ing in all 2,970,000,000 every
century, and that the world will
stand 1,000,000 years, or 10,000
centuries, 29,700,000,000 inhabi
tants. Now, suppose there aro 100
worlds like this, equal in tho num
ber of inhabitants and duration of
years, a total of 2,970,000,000,000.
000 persons, there would be more
than 100 rooms, 10 feet square, for
each and every person.
