SKATING RINKS.
The skating rink seems to be a center
of much attraction to those who attend
it. The young people especially appear
to have taken an ardent fancy to it. This
new and popular amusement has become
quite general in the States and we, though
somewhat isolated, already have two, or
rival rinks. The amusement, when first
introduced here, was greeted by many
with a cordial aloha. The reasons of this
were, doubtless, that there seemed to be
nothing inherently wrong in the matter;
it had the appearance of a harmless diversion, a pleasant pastime. One thing
•which especially commended it to public
favor was, that besides the amusement
which it would furnish, it promised to
do much toward preserving and supplying health. It engaged to develop the
physical nature, add color to the cheeks
and give tone to the system.
Now as to this point, to begin with,
the skating rink, of which we speak now
in general, is a source of great and serious disappointment.
From one of our exchanges we gather
the opinions of six leading medical practitioners, of Boston, who speak disapprovingly of the rink.
The first physician says:—" They are
bad. bad all through. Nothing good about
them."
The second:—" Is any exercise conducive to health that is carried on in an illventilated room, where the atmosphere
is poisoned with scones of breaths ? Is it
conducive to health to exercise in an intolerable heat, and then to take a sudden
coolim? draught from an open window ?"
The third:—"One of the worst places
for lungs and head. The room is filled
with fine particles of dust, which pours
forth from every crack in the floor and
from every other place where the heavy
jar of the skates can cause it to escape.
This fine dust penetrates the lungs and
head and irritatesthe mucous membrane,
and let a cold be taken at the same time,
and you can imagine how feebly a case
of pneumonia may be resisted under such
circumstances.".
The fourth:—"In most cases now-adays, when misses come to us for medical
advice in regard to some new form of ill—
Number 4.
HONOLULU, H. 1., APRIL, 1885.
ness, the first question we put is, Have
you been to the skating .rink ?" He
also adds, that the late Dr Thorndike,
one of the most eminent physicians of
Boston, remarked to him shortly before
his death that he had attended no less
than fifteen eases of spinal affection coming directly from the skating rink.
The fifth:—« The unnatural effort Incident to standing on rollers and skating,
though not noticed at first by a well person, frequently causes protracted invalidism, and sometimes leads to spinal meningitis."
The sixth:—" The movements of
skating on rollers are all injurious. The
ankles stiffen and often swell badly from
the severe strain and the knee joint loses
its ease of action; the spine sometimes
suffers greatly, especially among girls and
women in whom the dangers of future
disease are much greater from all such
exercise."
We also note that a permanent enlargement of the ankle, or as it is now called
"the skating riu'c ankle," has become a
well known physiological fact to physicians, wherever I his amusement has prevailed for any length of time.
Hence the institution in question appears fraught with danger to the physical
well-being of those who frequent it.
We. may add, that actual cases are
reported, not a few, of broken arms and
limbs; in one case of a mdtherwho broke
an arm, her four children at home dependent on her care. Is roller skating a
harmless amusement ? Is it healthy exercise ? Still sadder are the many cases
of elopement of young girls, often witli
married men, who leave wives and children behind. This would seem to be a
natural result of the promiscuous gathering at the rink. Three such cases in one
town in the States have come under our
notice.
A leading Chicago publication remarks:
—m We know of one official member of a
church who once defended the rink and
became a stockholder in one. Forty ilays
experience has taught him a lesson, to
unlearn which he would give his very
life. Educated, rather.rich, confident, a
loving father, and sure there was no
danger, his own and only little girl, in his
own rink, fell a victim to the very 'innocent recreation' in which he 'bought stock'
and which he will lament as long as he
lives. The father in question reaped his
percentage on the admission-price of a
well-dressed young scamp who skated
with the child, won her confidence, and
finally gave the father a dividend of
ghastly horror that will forever keep him
from being a Univerealist."
It further impresses us, that the rink
draws away the minds of its patrons from
the proper pursuits of life. We believe
this to be especially true in the case of
those attending school, whose attention
"
3
THE FRIEND.
to their duties should not be diverted by
anything of so exciting a nature as the
amusement at the rink.
The institution educates in feelings
that do not seem right. We understand
that there are present such as do not take
an active part, but who only attend to see
those engaged in "the whirlwind of hot
fun," and especially beginners, fall down.
The qualities that adorn human nature
and of which we all stand in need are
those of kindness and gentleness.
We submit, in view of all the facts,
that it behooves parents, to exercise a loving and watchful care over their children.
In what has been written we have with
the best of feelings solely aimed at the
public good.
WORKING MEN, SALARIED MEN
AND SILVER.
is
Nothing more certain than the fact
that, unless some action is taken by the
Government by which the present quantity of silver shall be largely reduced,
and tin* excess permanently withdrawn,
Hawaii's business must be conducted
upon the basis of our 85-cent silver dollar. The result is inevitable.
When that result comes the great loss
and hardship will not fall upon capitalists,
and tradesmen, and planters,—those
classes in the Kingdom best able to endure it—but upon the working men, and
salaried men, the very persons least able
to endure it.
America is facing the same inevitable
fact, that she must stop coining 85-cent
dollars or lose her gold, and conduct her
business on the basis of 85-cent -ilvt-r
dollars. In the Senate last month, Mr.
Morrill, of Vermont, called attention to
the hardship which such a calamity
would bring upon all wage-workers.
Commenting on his speech, the JV. Y.
Independent says:
Wage-workers and those whoreceive
fixed salaries will be the first to feel the
evil effects. These persons are paid for
their services in money ; and if the
money in which they are paid has lost
some fifteen or twenty per cent in its
purchasing power, this is to them practically equivalent to a similar reduction in
the rate of wages or the amount of their
salaries. The prices of the things on
which they live, and which they must
therefore buy, will rise much more rapidly from a depreciation in the value of
money, than the rate of wages or salaries. It takes considerabletime to bring
about an upward movement in the latter;
and while this process is going on the
wage-workers and all salaried persons
who receive no more money for their
services, have to pay more money for
what they buy and consume. This is to
them a severe hardship, and often involves a great deal of misery. They
have to use their money as they earn it,
being paid by the day or by the week,
"

4
and are generally compelled to spend
about as fastas they earn; and if prices go
up, and wages and salaries, though not
nominally changed, practically go down,
then a heavy burden Jails upon them.
Their services will buy less of the needed
comforts of life."
When Hawaii Is drained of gold, and
our tradesmen must buy exchange at 1">
to 20 per cent, to pay for goods which
the wage-worker buys, it goes without
saying that the tradesmen will not bear
that loss. They will simply add that
much to their prices. And the clerk
will find that his one hundred so-called
dollars, which he receives at the end of
each month will buy only eighty dollars
worth of the necessaries of life for himself and family. In Other words he will
have to pay fifteen or twenty dollars
each month because Hawaii's business
is on a silver and not a gold basis.

We must economize ? Yes. But to
begin by discharging clerks with families; tutting down the salaries of those

leaving the old tumble down fence, and
the house unpaintcd, and the out-huildings unrepaired; rattling the old carriage,

not the wisest or the most Christian way

luxuries, and use the money thus saved

form themselves intelligently in regard
to all phases of the temperance question
and work. For this purpose they have
adopted a course of reading recommended by the W. C. T. U. of America,
proposing to spend half an hour at each
monthly meeting in discussing some important subject. At the Kerch meeting
Mrs. W. W. Hall read a most carefully
prepared paper on"The Physiology of
Alcoholics," founded upon a lecture by
Dr. Carpenter of England. And Miss
Charlotte Carter gave an equally full and
interesting resume of a lecture by Dr. B.
W. Richardson, an English physician of
note, upon "The action of Alcohol upon
the Body."
In connection with the Woman'sBoard
of Missions they have secured the services of Miss Mary E. Green, of Makawao,
a Lady thoroughly acquainted with the
native people and language, who will devote her whole time to temperance and
evangelistic work among Hawaiians.
She will arganlee a Temperance Society
among them, visit their homes, circulate
the pledge, and endeavor in every way

direction among them, as well as to reach
individual cases. She has already entered upon her work with enthusiasm,
and finds much to encourage her.
They have also standing committees
upon the following departments of temperance work: Influencing the Press;
Scientific Instruction ; Sunday Schools J
Juvenile work; Temperance; Literature;
Evangelistic work ; Prison and Police
Station; Work among the Chinese; Work
among Sailors; Music.
The ladies feel thatthere is a great responsibility laid upon them as the only
specifically temperance organization in a
community which has such needs in this
direction. And that their Society may
not have only a "name to live," they
ask the willing assistance and sympathy
of all who are interested in righteousness
and reform.

Grover Cleveland was inaugurated
Presidentof the United States March 4th.
His inaugural address was not "brilliant,"
but what was much better, it was manly,
straightforward, common-sense, and conservative. Taken in connectioon with
his Warner letter," and his selection of
Manning as Secretary of the Treasury,
the new administration is fully committed against the folly of further coinage of
85-cent silver dollars, which the people
do not want, and which are steadily piling
up in the treasury vaults. On civil service
reform the inaugural gives "no uncertain
sound." The Cabinet, as a whole, is a
good one j certainly since the days of
Lincoln there has not been a stronger one.
But the seclection of two members from
the President's own State, and leaving
the great Interior States without a representative, seems strange, to say the least.
Grover Cleveland has the grandest opportunity, and the hardest battle before
him, if he manfully attempts to fulfil the
just expectations of the Nation, of any
President sinceLincoln.

Miss Cleveland's personal appearance
is thus described :
In looks Miss Cleveland reminds one of Anna
Dickinson; perhaps because she wears her hair in
the same stylo. Yet there is nothing mannish about
her, and in private she is rather too modest than
otherwise. Her voice is clear, and her articulation
distinct, making her a tine speaker. Since 1882
she has given frequent lectures at the college,
which have been very popular with the young Indies. Her name is found in the last catalogue in
the Faculty as Lecturer on Mediteval History. The
country may congratulate itself upon hating so
intelligent and public-spirited n Christian woman

and closed its sessions on Saturday evening. Sunday was occupied with the
examinations of the Sabbath Schools connected with the Churches of the Association. Theattendance was unusually large
and enthusiastic, and the orderly conduct
of the crowded audiences throughout the
whole was worthy of all praise. The
spirit manifested was excellent, and the
impulse given to the work will, we doubt
not, result in much good. There are sixteen Churches on the roll of this Association, embracing the districtsof Haraakua,
Waimea, Kohala, Kawaihae, North and

and thirteen delegates were present, and
over two hundred delegates, superintendents, teachers and scholais from the

In another article the editors give to

Editorially the Observer says: Few men

his influence was carried far and wide.
The N. Y. Evangelist of March sth also contains a long and appreciative article
on Dr. Damon.
In the same number of the Observer,
Rev. Dr. S. Irenaeus Prime pays his tribute of respect to the memory of our beloved and lamented Mrs. Lowell Smith
He says:
More than 50 years a missionary in
Honolulu, the work of Foreign Missions
has lost one of its noblest friends in the
death of this accomplished woman. Her
husband was a classmate of the writer
of this notice.
Mrs. Smith was a lady-of refinement
and cultivation, fitted to adorn the best
society, and able and willing to adapt
herself to any company into which duty
called her. Therefore as a missionary,
a teacher, a friend, a wife and mother,
she has exerted the happiest influence.
Many of the '< first families at the Islands have had their children educated
by her, and they rise up to bless her
memory. Mrs. E. Throop Martin, of
Auburn, N. V., was a friend of Mrs.
Smith, and on hearing of her death she
writes:
< She was a woman of rare gifts and
graces, and those who had the privilege
of knowing her wonderful character will
all unite in saying, Take her for all in
all, we ne'er shall look upon her like
again!' The correspondent who sends
me the sad tidings says: < There was no
valley of the shadow of death for our
dear Mrs. Smith; she seemed like a tired
child needing'rest and gradually falling
asleep.' ******
"Thus has closed a beautiful life of
missionary service. Mrs. Smith was
very happy in her work. At the head of
a fine school she exerted great influence.
Her house was the resort of travellers
and others who greatly loved to enjoy its
hospitality. The corps of Christian laborers at the Islands held her in the highest
esteem. The heart of her husband safely
trusted in her. She did him good and
not evil all the days of her life. She
opened her mouth with wisdom, and in
her tongue was the law of kindness. A
woman that feareth the Lord shall be
praised."

THE WAR IN CHINA.
BY REV. A. P. HAPPER,D.D.
The origin, the object and the prospects of the wtir between France and
China are but imperfectly understood by
most persons outside of China. We have
to prepare for our readers a condensed
statement in reference to those points
which we trust will help tliom to a
clearer understanding of this matter,
which is a subject of great, interest in
itself, but which has a special interest
from the fact that it is so intimately connected with missions in China.
The war originated not beuause France
had any complaint to make against China
iv regard to anything, but it has arisen
from France's desire to get possession of
the countries of South-Eastern Asia.
Having established a colony, of which
Saigon was the capital city, France was
desirous to annex other territory, and
hence sought to take possession of the
whole of the country between Saigon and
the southern boundary of China proper,
which is known by the name of Annum.
The northern part of An nam is called
Touquin. The French pVoposed to exercise a protectorate over Tonquin. One
great object in seeking to get possession
of this region was through it to get access to the south-western part of China.
For the Red River, which is the largest
river in Tonquin, rises in Annain, which
is the south-western province of-China,
and flows iv a south-eastern direction,
draining the greater part of the whole
district, and empties into the Gulf of Tonquin. To the east of its mouth lies the
large and important island of Hainan.
The French, through constraint, had obtained a cession of the protectorate from
the King of Annum. But there was still
the traditional suzerainty of China in the
way. In 1883 the French Minister to the
Pekin Court, Mr. Bores m.idea treaty
with China, in which China consented to
France having a protectorate of the most
of Tonquin, leaving a tract of country
between the part yielded to France and
the southern boundary of China, which
was to be regarded as neutral territory
between the two powers. This treaty,
which gained so much for France without any military force or the destruction
of peaceful relations between the two
Governments, was rejected by the French
Government and the Minister recalled.
This region was then held by a band of
outlaws known as the Black Flags. They
were a part of the forces of the Talping
rebellion, which had tied from China to
Tonquin and maintained themselves by
plundering the peaceful people. After
the rejection of this treaty the French-
7
attempted to get possession of the country by military force, and the Chinese
(iovcrnuient encouraged the Black Flags
(and perhaps aided them by sending men
end war supplies) to hold the country
against the French. There was desultory
warfare up to May, 1884, when a convention was arranged by H. E. Li Hung
Cluing and a representation of the French
Government, in which China consented
to France having a protectorate over
Tooquln with various conditions and
stipulations. This convention provided
for the cessation of the war, and it was
to be all arranged and settled by a formal
treaty within three months.
This satisfactory arrangement was set
aside in a few weeks by the French because as they stated the Chinese had
refused to give up some military posts
held by them and had led the French
army which had come to take possession
of it into an ambuscade and fired upon
it. That there was some fighting between the Chinese forces which held the
position and the French forces which
came to take possession is a fact. But it
is not true that there was any ambuscade
or treachery on the part ol the Chinese
olHcers. The official report of the French
Commander stated that he found a Chinese force in possession of the approaches
to the post. The Chinese officer in charge
stated that he had not received any
authority yet from the Chinese Government to give up the post, but that
if time was given to arrange the matter he would withdraw. The French
officer replied that if he did not withdraw in one liour he would open Are
upon the forces, and by reason of this
the convention was set aside, and the
French Government claimed an immense indemnity from the Chinese Government for the alleged treachery in the
matter. The negotiations which were
then commenced between specially appointed Chinese Commissioners and the
new French Minister were not successful in arriving at any terms of agreement
in regard to the indemnity as the Chinese utterly refused to admit that there
was any ground of a claim for an indemnity.
While these negotiations
were still in progress some of the French
vessels of war went into the Mm river
up nearly to the city of Foo Chow. On
the cessation of the negotiations their
vessels of war, without any previous
notice, attacked the Chinese gun boats
lying in the river and the forts on the
river and the large arsenal. After destroying all these the French fleet went,
out of the river and attacked the fort on
the N. E. corner of Formosa to get possession of the coal mines of Kilung, and
get possession of the forts. This was in
August of 1884. Since then warlike
operations have been carried on in Formosa and in Tonquin as yet without desired results. What the result may be
no human foresight can fortell. We feel
assured thafHe who overrules all things,
will overrule this war in China for the
furtherance of His own glory.

THE BETHEL OF NEW ORLEANS.
The Upper Bethel of Now Orleans has
just celebrated its seventh anniversary.
The chapel was crowded with seamen
and friends of seamen. Rev. Drs. Palmer, Markham, Flinn, and Rev. Dr. T.
D. Witherspoon, of Louisville, Ky., and
other ministers were present.
This mission is under the charge of
Dr. Witherspoon, the indefatigable and
successful chaplain, -whose name is known
over sea and land. At this meeting he
read communications from emperors and
empresses, kings and queens, princes and
princesses, Presidents Arthur, Diaz and
Barios, Mrs. Commodore Vanderbilt and
many others showing their interest in
the work. He then introduced his kinsman, Rev. Dr. T. D. Witherspoon, 'of
Louisville, Ky., who said he had ceme
from the foot of the limestone cliffs of
Kentucky, from near the centre of population of the country, not to see the Exposition, but to see the friends and patrons of the Bethel. He must say, however, that he was surprised to see the extent of the Exposition and the evidences
of its success, and wondered at the criticism of it which had been made by some.
His friend, the Chaplain, had been raised
a land-lubber, like himself, but had recently grown so much of a seaman that
he looked upon the hills and cliffs of
Kentucky merely as water sheds for the
sea. It was of the knighthood of the
sea that he proposed to speak.
The address is reported to have been
one of unusual merit and interest. We
may be able to give it in a later issae.
The closing part of it related to the possibilities which the life of a seaman presents for the spread ofChristianity. "It
every seaman," remarked Dr. Witherspoon was a christian man, the church
would have a band of missionaries which
would soon convert the world." Well
said, Bro. W. Another was inspired to
put it thus:

PORT OF ANTWERP, BELGIUM.
As a commeVcial entrepot, the trade of
the port of Antwerp has increased to an
astonishing extent within the last few
years, as shown by the following figures:
—In 1809 the tonage of the port of Havre
was 1,042,23(1; Of Hamburg 941', 154; of
Rotterdam 878,889; of Antwerp 148,664;
of Bremen 420,237; of Amsterdam 413,-780; of Dunkirk 279,144. Of all the
notbern ports, therefore, Antwerp ranked
fourth. Hut in 1882 it had so rapidly
increased, owing to the improved harbor
works and navigation of the Sheldt, and
also to the greatly extended railway communication, that Antwerp has mounted
to the top of the tree, and now stands
first. The figures of 1882 show that the
tonage of the port was 3,401,534, while
thatof Hamburg was 3,030,909; of Havre
2,20(5,927; of Rotterdam S, 086,888; of

THE LICENSE QUESTION.
Again all true friends of the Hawaiian
nation are called upon to raise their voices
in loud protest against an imminent danger. It is now proposed by the Government to open the flood-gates a step wider
forthesaleof intoxicating liquors on these
Islands, by granting licenses for such sale
at principal poiids on each island of the
group. We are glad to see that, with
perhaps a single exception, all the papers
published in this city are unanimous in
their disapproval of this move. And
more than that, we can tell His Majesty
and his administration that all the lawabiding, right thinking people in the
kingdom are united in their opposition
to any such measure. All honor to Mr. E.
Bailey and the citizens of Wailuku for
the manly way in which they have spoken
out. It but voices the feeling which Is
ominously growing among ajl the better
classes of the people. Who wants the
increase of licenses to sell liquor? Not
the merchants, not the ship-owners, not
the inter-island steamer and schooner
owners, not the planters, not the sober,
thrifty, industrious mechanics and wageearners. All these are opposed to it.
None of them have called for the issuing
of such licenses. Why should they be
granted? As a revenue measure? The
veriest tyro in such matters shouldknow
by this time from the statistics of crime
and the concurrent testimony of the highest authorities in Great Britain and the
United States, that every dollar of revenue so obtained will be offset more than
ten times over by the increased cost to
the kingdom of crime produced by the
increased consumption of liquors.
But we are told that the licensing of
the liquor traffic will prevent in great
measure the illicit sale of intoxicating
liquors. So would the licensing of theft,
arson and murder prevent the iUicit
commission of those crimes; for of course,
where an act is authorized by law it
cannot be unlawful. But, says the license law, it is unlawful unless you pay
for it The difference then, it seems, is
not one of principle, but one of money.
But facts have never yet proveu that the
licensing of the liquor traffic does actually
diminish the unlicensed sale of liquors,
except where license is freely extended
to every person who may wish to make
money by the sale of liquor. A license
at a few principal points only will do
little to check it.
We hardly think any one will venture
the absurd plea that the amount of drink
consumed, and the consequent amount of
drunkenness, will be decreased by increasing the facilities for obtaining intoxicating liquors lawfully. Does the licensing of dry goods or hardware dealers tend
to decrease the amount of those goods
consumed? As well the one as the other.
The fact is, the drinkers will purchase
the drink at at any rate, whether lawfully or unlawfully; and the sellers will
sell as long as there is anyone to sell
to, whether lawfully or unlawfully. It
will therefore require some other kind
of law than a license law to restrict the
consumption of liquors and consequent
drunkenness.
Mr. Ruskin fitly characterizes the
whole business in the following words
"The encouragement of drunkenness for
the sake of the profit on the sale of drink
is certainly one of the most criminal
methods of assassination for money hitherto adopted by the bravos of any age or
:
country."
ITEMS.
One thousand copies of the "Lei Alii,"
a school song book with tunes, prepared
a few years ago by Rev. L. Lyons, and
published origin liy Mr. 11. M. Whitney,
have been recei\cd. This second edition
is published by the Hawaiian Board, the
stereotpye plates and all rights in the
lx>ok having been purchased by them a
few months since.
By the Morning Star the first shipment of the new Hawaiian 18mo. Bible
has been received from the American
Bible Society. It will be a great convenience to our ilawaiian Christians to have
the Bible in a portable form. We regret
that owing to want of time only 300
copies could be sent by the Star, as we
have no doubt that 1,000 copies could
have been disposed of.
Letters received from Rev. R. Maka
and Rev. J. W. Kanoa, our missionaries
on Butaritari, state that a British vessel
of war(name not given) arrived therelast
July, and the commander instituted an
inquiry into the murder of a Chinaman
there which occurred in September, lss ;.
One foreigner and three natives were
accused, but no sufficient evidence being
obtained, the foreigner and one of the
natives were acquitted. The other two
natives were banished to the little islet
of Makin. Then the commander demanded the surrender of all the guns in
ths hands of the people. More than a
hundred guns were surrendered and
thrown overboard by the ship of war in
deep water.
The commander seems to have been
favorably impressed with our missionaries, and rather surprised to find Christianity the ruling influence on that island,
where doubtless he expected to find, and
a few years ago would have found, only
cannibal savages. It should be recorded
to his credit that he treated our missionaries very kindly, entertained them on
board his vessel by invitation, attended
their service on shore on Sunday, and
finally gave a donation of twenty-five
dollars to purchase a clock for their
church.
The Morning Star arrived here on the
15th of March, one hundred and thirty
days from Boston, having been much delayed by calm weather and light battling
winds in the Pacific. Notwithstanding a
furious gale encountered within twentyfour hours after leaving Boston, which
thoroughly tested her sett-going qualities,
and did some damage to her upper works,
she has turned out her cargo In excellent
condition. We rejoice to welcome her
to her work, and we extend our hearty
congratulations to dipt. Bray on the prospect before him of enlarged usefulness
and greatly increased comfort and safety
to all on Ixiard by reason of her auxiliary
screw.
The exact date of her leaving has not
yet been determined, but she will leave
as soon as she can be got ready for her
first year's work in Micronesia, which
will be about the last of this month or
the first of May. She is to be fitted out
for a voyage of ten months, and after visiting all the mission .stations at present
occupied in eastern and centrrl Micronesia, is expected to stretch her course to
the westward as far as Yap, between
eight and nine hundred miles farther
west than Ruk.
A little careful investigation of the
census lately taken gives
us some food for thought. According to
these tables, the total number of aboriginal Hawaiians on these Ishuids, including half-castes, is 44,.'132. The total number* in 1878 was 47,508. The total
decrease, therefore, during the past six
years is 3,17(J, or 7.1(1 per cent. During
the six years previons, we find on reference to the census of 1872 and 1878, the
rate of decrease was 7.80 percent., which
wits a diminution of 4.51 per cent, from
the rate of decrease lietween 1866 and
1872. What do these figures indicate? We
had hoped, almost against hope, that the
cheering progress indicated by the census
of 1878 would at least continue to 1884.
The percentage of decrease had been diminished from 12.31 per cent, in 1872 to
7.80 per cent, in 1878; being an actual
diminution of 4.51 per cent, in the
rate. But we find that during the past
six years the percentage of decrease has
been from 7.80 ocr cent, in 1878 to 7.16
per cent, in 1884; being an actual diminution of only 0.11 per cent, in the rate.
Comparing this with the 4.51 per cent.
of actual diminution of rate in the previous period, we find that the percentage
of decrease has risen 4.40 per cent during the past six yearn. This is a saddening fact. Will free liquor to Hawaiians,
and Government aids to its sale in the
shape of licenses check this downward
tendency In the next six years? If not,
what will? If anything is to be done to
carry out in earnest the motto of Hooulu
Lahui (increase the race), '''twere well
'twere done quickly."

The annual meeting of this Association,
will be held April 10th. Judge Judd
and W. A. Bowen, have been appointed
a committee to make up nominations for
the new year. We understand that
there will be a complete change in the
officers. This is as it should be. Others
should be brought into active work of
the Association.
Mr. H. J. McCoy, General Secretary of
the Y. M. C. A. of San Francisco, accompanied by Mrs. McCoy, arrived in this
city, March 23rd., for a three week's
visit, returningon the 15th of this month.
He comes as the guest of the Association
and during his stay will do what Association work he can. He has been connected some 15 years with Y. M. C. A.
work and evidently knows in a practical
way what should be done.
The evening of his arrival, he met
members of the Association at the Hall,
and gave a very practical and valuab c
talk on the methods of work adopted by
the San Francisco and other Associations.
The work of the Y. M. C. A., he says
is a definite work, ». c. to reach young
men. The efforts of the Association
should be concentrated on this line of
work. It reaches after men not only religiously but mentally, socially and
physically as well. Physically, through
their Gymnasium, baths and other tike
conveniences; mentally, through the educational classes to be found in every well
organized Association.
Socially through the entertainments
and social gatherings and the fellowship
of other members, and last but not least
religiously through the meetings, and the
Gospel of Christ, this being the main object for which the Association was formed and towards which all work should
converge. The secular branch of the
Association is what first attracts young
men and pave the way for religious effort.
Yet experience teaches that it is not
sufficient to have a fine building and all
the best of appliances and attractions.
We may have all these, yet young men
will not come in any numbers unless they
are sought out and drawn in by personal
efforts. The Y. M. C. A. building of
San Francisco, is worth $130,000. They
have a fine gymnasium, baths, reading
rooms, the best lecture talent the Coast
can afford etc., and everything practically
free and yet even thenyoung men do not
come until they are personally sought out
and brought in. Another important
branch of the work is to attend young
men who are found sick. The 8. F. Association is in communication with all
the reputable physicians and hotel clerks
of the City, who are requested to notify

April, 1885.
A BIRTHDAY LUAU.
It is not often that the haole. is treated
to a first-class luau, or alumina. In part
because a thorough Hawaiian feast is becoming a thing of the past, and because
that when such an affair is had the haole
is not always present. The feast given
on the spacious; back lot at Kawaifihuo
Seminary a few days ago, in honor of the
first anniversary of the birth of the son
of Mr. and Mrs. Samuel Mahelona, was
in all respects a first-class Hawaiian feast,
and the large number of both Hawaiians
and haoles present so thought, and evidenced their appreciation by the vigor
with which they attacked the dainty and
sometimes interesting viands.
The feast was spread in a large lanai
(or tent) not less than seventy-live feet
wide and one hundred and fifty feet long.
Across the westerly end stretched two
long tables. At right angles to these
four other longer tables extended up the
tent. The easterly end was cut off by a
room whence the smoking and delicious
dishes from lime to time emerged. There
was seating capacity for several hundred,
and they were all there. The lanai was
beautifully decorated in true Hawaiian
taste with ferns, inaile, bunches of ieie
and flowers. A single blue banner with
a golden crown indicated where His Majesty the King should sit; and he presided there with royal affability and
dignity. The occasion was also graced
by the presence of Her Highness Princess Likelike and many of (Air leading
citizensof many nationalities. The tables
were waited ui>on by the girls of the
school, all in white, with different colored
ribbons for those attendant on each table.
It made M exceedingly pretty scene.
Those who were curious about Hawaiian
cookery methods satisfied that curiosty
by a visit to the rear of the tent, where
a large smouldering lire burned. There
they saw large rolls or bundles of the ti
leaf, containing fish, young pig, or other
tempting meats. Elsewhere whole pigs
were slowly roasting, fowls and fish sent
an appetizing odor into the air, and before the welcome signal to rally round
the table came, all felt—if they did not
say—that they were in a «ondition to eat
a whole ox.
About half-past twelve His Majesty
seated himself. He was quickly followed
by the crowd, and the feast began. Of
course poi was everywhere; fresh poi,
sour poi, in bowls, on plates and in calabashes. There was fresh bread, but no
butter, for that forms no part of such a
feast; baked kalo and huge sweet potatoes; koele palau, cooked sweet potatoes,
cocoanut grated mixed with the milk;
kulolo, kalo and cocoanut grated and
mixed, then baked, making a most delicious pudding ; tuau, boiled young kalo
leaves, a "green"; limu lipoa and limu
kola, sea mosses or sea-weed; roasted kukui nuts but not grated, in which form it
is called inamona, and other dainties.

SKATING RINKS.
The skating rink seems to be a center
of much attraction to those who attend
it. The young people especially appear
to have taken an ardent fancy to it. This
new and popular amusement has become
quite general in the States and we, though
somewhat isolated, already have two, or
rival rinks. The amusement, when first
introduced here, was greeted by many
with a cordial aloha. The reasons of this
were, doubtless, that there seemed to be
nothing inherently wrong in the matter;
it had the appearance of a harmless diversion, a pleasant pastime. One thing
•which especially commended it to public
favor was, that besides the amusement
which it would furnish, it promised to
do much toward preserving and supplying health. It engaged to develop the
physical nature, add color to the cheeks
and give tone to the system.
Now as to this point, to begin with,
the skating rink, of which we speak now
in general, is a source of great and serious disappointment.
From one of our exchanges we gather
the opinions of six leading medical practitioners, of Boston, who speak disapprovingly of the rink.
The first physician says:—" They are
bad. bad all through. Nothing good about

The second:—" Is any exercise conducive to health that is carried on in an illventilated room, where the atmosphere
is poisoned with scones of breaths ? Is it
conducive to health to exercise in an intolerable heat, and then to take a sudden

The third:—"One of the worst places
for lungs and head. The room is filled
with fine particles of dust, which pours
forth from every crack in the floor and
from every other place where the heavy
jar of the skates can cause it to escape.
This fine dust penetrates the lungs and
head and irritatesthe mucous membrane,
and let a cold be taken at the same time,
and you can imagine how feebly a case
of pneumonia may be resisted under such
circumstances.".

ness, the first question we put is, Have
you been to the skating .rink ?" He
also adds, that the late Dr Thorndike,
one of the most eminent physicians of
Boston, remarked to him shortly before
his death that he had attended no less
than fifteen eases of spinal affection coming directly from the skating rink.
The fifth:—« The unnatural effort Incident to standing on rollers and skating,
though not noticed at first by a well person, frequently causes protracted invalidism, and sometimes leads to spinal meningitis."
The sixth:—" The movements of
skating on rollers are all injurious. The
ankles stiffen and often swell badly from
the severe strain and the knee joint loses
its ease of action; the spine sometimes
suffers greatly, especially among girls and
women in whom the dangers of future
disease are much greater from all such
exercise."
We also note that a permanent enlargement of the ankle, or as it is now called
"the skating riu'c ankle," has become a
well known physiological fact to physicians, wherever I his amusement has prevailed for any length of time.
Hence the institution in question appears fraught with danger to the physical
well-being of those who frequent it.
We. may add, that actual cases are
reported, not a few, of broken arms and
limbs; in one case of a mdtherwho broke
an arm, her four children at home dependent on her care. Is roller skating a
harmless amusement ? Is it healthy exercise ? Still sadder are the many cases
of elopement of young girls, often witli
married men, who leave wives and children behind. This would seem to be a
natural result of the promiscuous gathering at the rink. Three such cases in one
town in the States have come under our
notice.
A leading Chicago publication remarks:
—m We know of one official member of a
church who once defended the rink and
became a stockholder in one. Forty ilays
experience has taught him a lesson, to
unlearn which he would give his very
life. Educated, rather.rich, confident, a
loving father, and sure there was no
danger, his own and only little girl, in his
own rink, fell a victim to the very 'innocent recreation' in which he 'bought stock'
and which he will lament as long as he
lives. The father in question reaped his
percentage on the admission-price of a
well-dressed young scamp who skated
with the child, won her confidence, and
finally gave the father a dividend of
ghastly horror that will forever keep him
from being a Univerealist."
It further impresses us, that the rink
draws away the minds of its patrons from
the proper pursuits of life. We believe
this to be especially true in the case of
those attending school, whose attention

to their duties should not be diverted by
anything of so exciting a nature as the
amusement at the rink.
The institution educates in feelings
that do not seem right. We understand
that there are present such as do not take
an active part, but who only attend to see
those engaged in "the whirlwind of hot
fun," and especially beginners, fall down.
The qualities that adorn human nature
and of which we all stand in need are
those of kindness and gentleness.
We submit, in view of all the facts,
that it behooves parents, to exercise a loving and watchful care over their children.

AND SILVER.
is
Nothing more certain than the fact
that, unless some action is taken by the
Government by which the present quantity of silver shall be largely reduced,
and tin* excess permanently withdrawn,
Hawaii's business must be conducted
upon the basis of our 85-cent silver dollar. The result is inevitable.
When that result comes the great loss
and hardship will not fall upon capitalists,
and tradesmen, and planters,—those
classes in the Kingdom best able to endure it—but upon the working men, and
salaried men, the very persons least able
to endure it.
America is facing the same inevitable
fact, that she must stop coining 85-cent
dollars or lose her gold, and conduct her
business on the basis of 85-cent -ilvt-r
dollars. In the Senate last month, Mr.
Morrill, of Vermont, called attention to
the hardship which such a calamity
would bring upon all wage-workers.
Commenting on his speech, the JV. Y.
Independent says:
Wage-workers and those whoreceive
fixed salaries will be the first to feel the
evil effects. These persons are paid for
their services in money ; and if the
money in which they are paid has lost
some fifteen or twenty per cent in its
purchasing power, this is to them practically equivalent to a similar reduction in
the rate of wages or the amount of their
salaries. The prices of the things on
which they live, and which they must
therefore buy, will rise much more rapidly from a depreciation in the value of
money, than the rate of wages or salaries. It takes considerabletime to bring
about an upward movement in the latter;
and while this process is going on the
wage-workers and all salaried persons
who receive no more money for their
services, have to pay more money for
what they buy and consume. This is to
them a severe hardship, and often involves a great deal of misery. They
have to use their money as they earn it,
being paid by the day or by the week,
"

and are generally compelled to spend
about as fastas they earn; and if prices go
up, and wages and salaries, though not
nominally changed, practically go down,
then a heavy burden Jails upon them.
Their services will buy less of the needed
comforts of life."
When Hawaii Is drained of gold, and
our tradesmen must buy exchange at 1">
to 20 per cent, to pay for goods which
the wage-worker buys, it goes without
saying that the tradesmen will not bear
that loss. They will simply add that
much to their prices. And the clerk
will find that his one hundred so-called
dollars, which he receives at the end of
each month will buy only eighty dollars
worth of the necessaries of life for himself and family. In Other words he will
have to pay fifteen or twenty dollars
each month because Hawaii's business
is on a silver and not a gold basis.

form themselves intelligently in regard
to all phases of the temperance question
and work. For this purpose they have
adopted a course of reading recommended by the W. C. T. U. of America,
proposing to spend half an hour at each
monthly meeting in discussing some important subject. At the Kerch meeting
Mrs. W. W. Hall read a most carefully
prepared paper on"The Physiology of
Alcoholics," founded upon a lecture by
Dr. Carpenter of England. And Miss
Charlotte Carter gave an equally full and
interesting resume of a lecture by Dr. B.
W. Richardson, an English physician of
note, upon "The action of Alcohol upon
the Body."
In connection with the Woman'sBoard
of Missions they have secured the services of Miss Mary E. Green, of Makawao,
a Lady thoroughly acquainted with the
native people and language, who will devote her whole time to temperance and
evangelistic work among Hawaiians.
She will arganlee a Temperance Society
among them, visit their homes, circulate
the pledge, and endeavor in every way
to awaken a public sentiment in the right
direction among them, as well as to reach
individual cases. She has already entered upon her work with enthusiasm,
and finds much to encourage her.
They have also standing committees
upon the following departments of temperance work: Influencing the Press;
Scientific Instruction ; Sunday Schools J
Juvenile work; Temperance; Literature;
Evangelistic work ; Prison and Police
Station; Work among the Chinese; Work
among Sailors; Music.
The ladies feel thatthere is a great responsibility laid upon them as the only
specifically temperance organization in a
community which has such needs in this
direction. And that their Society may
not have only a "name to live," they
ask the willing assistance and sympathy
of all who are interested in righteousness
and reform.

Grover Cleveland was inaugurated
Presidentof the United States March 4th.
His inaugural address was not "brilliant,"
but what was much better, it was manly,
straightforward, common-sense, and conservative. Taken in connectioon with
his Warner letter," and his selection of
Manning as Secretary of the Treasury,
the new administration is fully committed against the folly of further coinage of
85-cent silver dollars, which the people
do not want, and which are steadily piling
up in the treasury vaults. On civil service
reform the inaugural gives "no uncertain
sound." The Cabinet, as a whole, is a
good one j certainly since the days of
Lincoln there has not been a stronger one.
But the seclection of two members from
the President's own State, and leaving
the great Interior States without a representative, seems strange, to say the least.
Grover Cleveland has the grandest opportunity, and the hardest battle before
him, if he manfully attempts to fulfil the
just expectations of the Nation, of any
President sinceLincoln.

Miss Cleveland's personal appearance
is thus described :
In looks Miss Cleveland reminds one of Anna
Dickinson; perhaps because she wears her hair in
the same stylo. Yet there is nothing mannish about
her, and in private she is rather too modest than
otherwise. Her voice is clear, and her articulation
distinct, making her a tine speaker. Since 1882
she has given frequent lectures at the college,
which have been very popular with the young Indies. Her name is found in the last catalogue in
the Faculty as Lecturer on Mediteval History. The
country may congratulate itself upon hating so

examinations of the Sabbath Schools connected with the Churches of the Association. Theattendance was unusually large
and enthusiastic, and the orderly conduct
of the crowded audiences throughout the
whole was worthy of all praise. The
spirit manifested was excellent, and the
impulse given to the work will, we doubt
not, result in much good. There are sixteen Churches on the roll of this Association, embracing the districtsof Haraakua,
Waimea, Kohala, Kawaihae, North and
South Kona, and Kau. Seven pastors
and thirteen delegates were present, and
over two hundred delegates, superintendents, teachers and scholais from the
various Sunday Schools.
At "Hilo, the Association of East Hawaii met on the 10th of March, and concluded its sessions on the following day.
This Association is at present much
smaller than the other; its field embracing only the two districts of Puna and
Hilo as far as Laupahoehoe.

great benefit to all who love the truth;
a sermon that will long be treasured by

The N. Y. Observer contains a considerable portion of Father Damon's valedictory when he entrusted The Friend
to the present editors. Referring further on to the enlargement of his residence,
But he has gone from
the editors say:
the scene of his earthly labors to dwell in
that house not made with hands eternal
in the heavens."
In another article the editors give to
their readers from the The Pacific Commercial Advertiser of this city an account
of Dr. Damon's life and public services.
Editorially the Observer says: Few men
have been known more extensively or
more favorably. Being stationed on one
of the great highways of the sea, as a
touching place for vessels from all parts,
his influence was carried far and wide.
The N. Y. Evangelist of March sth also contains a long and appreciative article
on Dr. Damon.
In the same number of the Observer,
Rev. Dr. S. Irenaeus Prime pays his tribute of respect to the memory of our beloved and lamented Mrs. Lowell Smith
He says:
More than 50 years a missionary in
Honolulu, the work of Foreign Missions
has lost one of its noblest friends in the
death of this accomplished woman. Her
husband was a classmate of the writer
of this notice.
Mrs. Smith was a lady-of refinement
and cultivation, fitted to adorn the best
society, and able and willing to adapt
herself to any company into which duty
called her. Therefore as a missionary,
a teacher, a friend, a wife and mother,
she has exerted the happiest influence.
Many of the '< first families at the Islands have had their children educated
by her, and they rise up to bless her
memory. Mrs. E. Throop Martin, of
Auburn, N. V., was a friend of Mrs.
Smith, and on hearing of her death she
writes:
< She was a woman of rare gifts and
graces, and those who had the privilege
of knowing her wonderful character will
all unite in saying, Take her for all in
all, we ne'er shall look upon her like
again!' The correspondent who sends
me the sad tidings says: < There was no
valley of the shadow of death for our
dear Mrs. Smith; she seemed like a tired
child needing'rest and gradually falling
asleep.' ******
"Thus has closed a beautiful life of
missionary service. Mrs. Smith was
very happy in her work. At the head of
a fine school she exerted great influence.
Her house was the resort of travellers
and others who greatly loved to enjoy its
hospitality. The corps of Christian laborers at the Islands held her in the highest
esteem. The heart of her husband safely
trusted in her. She did him good and
not evil all the days of her life. She
opened her mouth with wisdom, and in
her tongue was the law of kindness. A
woman that feareth the Lord shall be
praised."

THE WAR IN CHINA.
BY REV. A. P. HAPPER,D.D.
The origin, the object and the prospects of the wtir between France and
China are but imperfectly understood by
most persons outside of China. We have
to prepare for our readers a condensed
statement in reference to those points
which we trust will help tliom to a
clearer understanding of this matter,
which is a subject of great, interest in
itself, but which has a special interest
from the fact that it is so intimately connected with missions in China.
The war originated not beuause France
had any complaint to make against China
iv regard to anything, but it has arisen
from France's desire to get possession of
the countries of South-Eastern Asia.
Having established a colony, of which
Saigon was the capital city, France was
desirous to annex other territory, and
hence sought to take possession of the
whole of the country between Saigon and
the southern boundary of China proper,
which is known by the name of Annum.
The northern part of An nam is called
Touquin. The French pVoposed to exercise a protectorate over Tonquin. One
great object in seeking to get possession
of this region was through it to get access to the south-western part of China.
For the Red River, which is the largest
river in Tonquin, rises in Annain, which
is the south-western province of-China,
and flows iv a south-eastern direction,
draining the greater part of the whole
district, and empties into the Gulf of Tonquin. To the east of its mouth lies the
large and important island of Hainan.
The French, through constraint, had obtained a cession of the protectorate from
the King of Annum. But there was still
the traditional suzerainty of China in the
way. In 1883 the French Minister to the
Pekin Court, Mr. Bores m.idea treaty
with China, in which China consented to
France having a protectorate of the most
of Tonquin, leaving a tract of country
between the part yielded to France and
the southern boundary of China, which
was to be regarded as neutral territory
between the two powers. This treaty,
which gained so much for France without any military force or the destruction
of peaceful relations between the two
Governments, was rejected by the French
Government and the Minister recalled.
This region was then held by a band of
outlaws known as the Black Flags. They
were a part of the forces of the Talping
rebellion, which had tied from China to
Tonquin and maintained themselves by
plundering the peaceful people. After
the rejection of this treaty the French-
7
attempted to get possession of the country by military force, and the Chinese
(iovcrnuient encouraged the Black Flags
(and perhaps aided them by sending men
end war supplies) to hold the country
against the French. There was desultory
warfare up to May, 1884, when a convention was arranged by H. E. Li Hung
Cluing and a representation of the French
Government, in which China consented
to France having a protectorate over
Tooquln with various conditions and
stipulations. This convention provided
for the cessation of the war, and it was
to be all arranged and settled by a formal
treaty within three months.
This satisfactory arrangement was set
aside in a few weeks by the French because as they stated the Chinese had
refused to give up some military posts
held by them and had led the French
army which had come to take possession
of it into an ambuscade and fired upon
it. That there was some fighting between the Chinese forces which held the
position and the French forces which
came to take possession is a fact. But it
is not true that there was any ambuscade
or treachery on the part ol the Chinese
olHcers. The official report of the French
Commander stated that he found a Chinese force in possession of the approaches
to the post. The Chinese officer in charge
stated that he had not received any
authority yet from the Chinese Government to give up the post, but that
if time was given to arrange the matter he would withdraw. The French
officer replied that if he did not withdraw in one liour he would open Are
upon the forces, and by reason of this
the convention was set aside, and the
French Government claimed an immense indemnity from the Chinese Government for the alleged treachery in the
matter. The negotiations which were
then commenced between specially appointed Chinese Commissioners and the
new French Minister were not successful in arriving at any terms of agreement
in regard to the indemnity as the Chinese utterly refused to admit that there
was any ground of a claim for an indemnity.
While these negotiations
were still in progress some of the French
vessels of war went into the Mm river
up nearly to the city of Foo Chow. On
the cessation of the negotiations their
vessels of war, without any previous
notice, attacked the Chinese gun boats
lying in the river and the forts on the
river and the large arsenal. After destroying all these the French fleet went,
out of the river and attacked the fort on
the N. E. corner of Formosa to get possession of the coal mines of Kilung, and
get possession of the forts. This was in
August of 1884. Since then warlike
operations have been carried on in Formosa and in Tonquin as yet without desired results. What the result may be
no human foresight can fortell. We feel
assured thafHe who overrules all things,
will overrule this war in China for the
furtherance of His own glory.

THE BETHEL OF NEW ORLEANS.
The Upper Bethel of Now Orleans has
just celebrated its seventh anniversary.
The chapel was crowded with seamen
and friends of seamen. Rev. Drs. Palmer, Markham, Flinn, and Rev. Dr. T.
D. Witherspoon, of Louisville, Ky., and
other ministers were present.
This mission is under the charge of
Dr. Witherspoon, the indefatigable and
successful chaplain, -whose name is known
over sea and land. At this meeting he
read communications from emperors and
empresses, kings and queens, princes and
princesses, Presidents Arthur, Diaz and
Barios, Mrs. Commodore Vanderbilt and
many others showing their interest in
the work. He then introduced his kinsman, Rev. Dr. T. D. Witherspoon, 'of
Louisville, Ky., who said he had ceme
from the foot of the limestone cliffs of
Kentucky, from near the centre of population of the country, not to see the Exposition, but to see the friends and patrons of the Bethel. He must say, however, that he was surprised to see the extent of the Exposition and the evidences
of its success, and wondered at the criticism of it which had been made by some.
His friend, the Chaplain, had been raised
a land-lubber, like himself, but had recently grown so much of a seaman that
he looked upon the hills and cliffs of
Kentucky merely as water sheds for the
sea. It was of the knighthood of the
sea that he proposed to speak.
The address is reported to have been
one of unusual merit and interest. We
may be able to give it in a later issae.
The closing part of it related to the possibilities which the life of a seaman presents for the spread ofChristianity. "It
every seaman," remarked Dr. Witherspoon was a christian man, the church
would have a band of missionaries which
would soon convert the world." Well
said, Bro. W. Another was inspired to
put it thus:
"

" How

He may help to spread the gospel
In either hemisphere;
If he nobly shows his oolonrs,
Good example will prevail;
He will pray for all his mess-mates
And faith's prayer shall never fail."
PORT OF ANTWERP, BELGIUM.
As a commeVcial entrepot, the trade of
the port of Antwerp has increased to an
astonishing extent within the last few
years, as shown by the following figures:
—In 1809 the tonage of the port of Havre
was 1,042,23(1; Of Hamburg 941', 154; of
Rotterdam 878,889; of Antwerp 148,664;
of Bremen 420,237; of Amsterdam 413,-780; of Dunkirk 279,144. Of all the
notbern ports, therefore, Antwerp ranked
fourth. Hut in 1882 it had so rapidly
increased, owing to the improved harbor
works and navigation of the Sheldt, and
also to the greatly extended railway communication, that Antwerp has mounted
to the top of the tree, and now stands
first. The figures of 1882 show that the
tonage of the port was 3,401,534, while
thatof Hamburg was 3,030,909; of Havre
2,20(5,927; of Rotterdam S, 086,888; of

THE LICENSE QUESTION.
Again all true friends of the Hawaiian
nation are called upon to raise their voices
in loud protest against an imminent danger. It is now proposed by the Government to open the flood-gates a step wider
forthesaleof intoxicating liquors on these
Islands, by granting licenses for such sale
at principal poiids on each island of the
group. We are glad to see that, with
perhaps a single exception, all the papers
published in this city are unanimous in
their disapproval of this move. And
more than that, we can tell His Majesty
and his administration that all the lawabiding, right thinking people in the
kingdom are united in their opposition
to any such measure. All honor to Mr. E.
Bailey and the citizens of Wailuku for
the manly way in which they have spoken
out. It but voices the feeling which Is
ominously growing among ajl the better
classes of the people. Who wants the
increase of licenses to sell liquor? Not
the merchants, not the ship-owners, not
the inter-island steamer and schooner
owners, not the planters, not the sober,
thrifty, industrious mechanics and wageearners. All these are opposed to it.
None of them have called for the issuing
of such licenses. Why should they be
granted? As a revenue measure? The
veriest tyro in such matters shouldknow
by this time from the statistics of crime
and the concurrent testimony of the highest authorities in Great Britain and the
United States, that every dollar of revenue so obtained will be offset more than
ten times over by the increased cost to
the kingdom of crime produced by the
increased consumption of liquors.
But we are told that the licensing of
the liquor traffic will prevent in great
measure the illicit sale of intoxicating
liquors. So would the licensing of theft,
arson and murder prevent the iUicit
commission of those crimes; for of course,
where an act is authorized by law it
cannot be unlawful. But, says the license law, it is unlawful unless you pay
for it The difference then, it seems, is
not one of principle, but one of money.
But facts have never yet proveu that the
licensing of the liquor traffic does actually
diminish the unlicensed sale of liquors,
except where license is freely extended
to every person who may wish to make
money by the sale of liquor. A license
at a few principal points only will do
little to check it.
We hardly think any one will venture
the absurd plea that the amount of drink
consumed, and the consequent amount of
drunkenness, will be decreased by increasing the facilities for obtaining intoxicating liquors lawfully. Does the licensing of dry goods or hardware dealers tend
to decrease the amount of those goods
consumed? As well the one as the other.
The fact is, the drinkers will purchase
the drink at at any rate, whether lawfully or unlawfully; and the sellers will
sell as long as there is anyone to sell
to, whether lawfully or unlawfully. It
will therefore require some other kind
of law than a license law to restrict the
consumption of liquors and consequent
drunkenness.
Mr. Ruskin fitly characterizes the
whole business in the following words
"The encouragement of drunkenness for
the sake of the profit on the sale of drink
is certainly one of the most criminal
methods of assassination for money hitherto adopted by the bravos of any age or
:
country."
ITEMS.
One thousand copies of the "Lei Alii,"
a school song book with tunes, prepared
a few years ago by Rev. L. Lyons, and
published origin liy Mr. 11. M. Whitney,
have been recei\cd. This second edition
is published by the Hawaiian Board, the
stereotpye plates and all rights in the
lx>ok having been purchased by them a
few months since.
By the Morning Star the first shipment of the new Hawaiian 18mo. Bible
has been received from the American
Bible Society. It will be a great convenience to our ilawaiian Christians to have
the Bible in a portable form. We regret
that owing to want of time only 300
copies could be sent by the Star, as we
have no doubt that 1,000 copies could
have been disposed of.
Letters received from Rev. R. Maka
and Rev. J. W. Kanoa, our missionaries
on Butaritari, state that a British vessel
of war(name not given) arrived therelast
July, and the commander instituted an
inquiry into the murder of a Chinaman
there which occurred in September, lss ;.
One foreigner and three natives were
accused, but no sufficient evidence being
obtained, the foreigner and one of the
natives were acquitted. The other two
natives were banished to the little islet
of Makin. Then the commander demanded the surrender of all the guns in
ths hands of the people. More than a
hundred guns were surrendered and
thrown overboard by the ship of war in
deep water.
The commander seems to have been
favorably impressed with our missionaries, and rather surprised to find Christianity the ruling influence on that island,
where doubtless he expected to find, and
a few years ago would have found, only
cannibal savages. It should be recorded
to his credit that he treated our missionaries very kindly, entertained them on
board his vessel by invitation, attended
their service on shore on Sunday, and
finally gave a donation of twenty-five
dollars to purchase a clock for their
church.
The Morning Star arrived here on the
15th of March, one hundred and thirty
days from Boston, having been much delayed by calm weather and light battling
winds in the Pacific. Notwithstanding a
furious gale encountered within twentyfour hours after leaving Boston, which
thoroughly tested her sett-going qualities,
and did some damage to her upper works,
she has turned out her cargo In excellent
condition. We rejoice to welcome her
to her work, and we extend our hearty
congratulations to dipt. Bray on the prospect before him of enlarged usefulness
and greatly increased comfort and safety
to all on Ixiard by reason of her auxiliary
screw.
The exact date of her leaving has not
yet been determined, but she will leave
as soon as she can be got ready for her
first year's work in Micronesia, which
will be about the last of this month or
the first of May. She is to be fitted out
for a voyage of ten months, and after visiting all the mission .stations at present
occupied in eastern and centrrl Micronesia, is expected to stretch her course to
the westward as far as Yap, between
eight and nine hundred miles farther
west than Ruk.
A little careful investigation of the
census lately taken gives
us some food for thought. According to
these tables, the total number of aboriginal Hawaiians on these Ishuids, including half-castes, is 44,.'132. The total number* in 1878 was 47,508. The total
decrease, therefore, during the past six
years is 3,17(J, or 7.1(1 per cent. During
the six years previons, we find on reference to the census of 1872 and 1878, the
rate of decrease was 7.80 percent., which
wits a diminution of 4.51 per cent, from
the rate of decrease lietween 1866 and
1872. What do these figures indicate? We
had hoped, almost against hope, that the
cheering progress indicated by the census
of 1878 would at least continue to 1884.
The percentage of decrease had been diminished from 12.31 per cent, in 1872 to
7.80 per cent, in 1878; being an actual
diminution of 4.51 per cent, in the
rate. But we find that during the past
six years the percentage of decrease has
been from 7.80 ocr cent, in 1878 to 7.16
per cent, in 1884; being an actual diminution of only 0.11 per cent, in the rate.
Comparing this with the 4.51 per cent.
of actual diminution of rate in the previous period, we find that the percentage
of decrease has risen 4.40 per cent during the past six yearn. This is a saddening fact. Will free liquor to Hawaiians,
and Government aids to its sale in the
shape of licenses check this downward
tendency In the next six years? If not,
what will? If anything is to be done to
carry out in earnest the motto of Hooulu
Lahui (increase the race), '''twere well
'twere done quickly."

city, March 23rd., for a three week's
visit, returningon the 15th of this month.
He comes as the guest of the Association
and during his stay will do what Association work he can. He has been connected some 15 years with Y. M. C. A.
work and evidently knows in a practical
way what should be done.
The evening of his arrival, he met
members of the Association at the Hall,
and gave a very practical and valuab c
talk on the methods of work adopted by
the San Francisco and other Associations.
The work of the Y. M. C. A., he says
is a definite work, ». c. to reach young
men. The efforts of the Association
should be concentrated on this line of
work. It reaches after men not only religiously but mentally, socially and
physically as well. Physically, through
their Gymnasium, baths and other tike
conveniences; mentally, through the educational classes to be found in every well
organized Association.
Socially through the entertainments
and social gatherings and the fellowship
of other members, and last but not least
religiously through the meetings, and the
Gospel of Christ, this being the main object for which the Association was formed and towards which all work should
converge. The secular branch of the
Association is what first attracts young
men and pave the way for religious effort.
Yet experience teaches that it is not
sufficient to have a fine building and all
the best of appliances and attractions.
We may have all these, yet young men
will not come in any numbers unless they
are sought out and drawn in by personal
efforts. The Y. M. C. A. building of
San Francisco, is worth $130,000. They
have a fine gymnasium, baths, reading
rooms, the best lecture talent the Coast
can afford etc., and everything practically
free and yet even thenyoung men do not
come until they are personally sought out
and brought in. Another important
branch of the work is to attend young
men who are found sick. The 8. F. Association is in communication with all
the reputable physicians and hotel clerks
of the City, who are requested to notify

April, 1885.
A BIRTHDAY LUAU.
It is not often that the haole. is treated
to a first-class luau, or alumina. In part
because a thorough Hawaiian feast is becoming a thing of the past, and because
that when such an affair is had the haole
is not always present. The feast given
on the spacious; back lot at Kawaifihuo
Seminary a few days ago, in honor of the
first anniversary of the birth of the son
of Mr. and Mrs. Samuel Mahelona, was
in all respects a first-class Hawaiian feast,
and the large number of both Hawaiians
and haoles present so thought, and evidenced their appreciation by the vigor
with which they attacked the dainty and
sometimes interesting viands.
The feast was spread in a large lanai
(or tent) not less than seventy-live feet
wide and one hundred and fifty feet long.
Across the westerly end stretched two
long tables. At right angles to these
four other longer tables extended up the
tent. The easterly end was cut off by a
room whence the smoking and delicious
dishes from lime to time emerged. There
was seating capacity for several hundred,
and they were all there. The lanai was
beautifully decorated in true Hawaiian
taste with ferns, inaile, bunches of ieie
and flowers. A single blue banner with
a golden crown indicated where His Majesty the King should sit; and he presided there with royal affability and
dignity. The occasion was also graced
by the presence of Her Highness Princess Likelike and many of (Air leading
citizensof many nationalities. The tables
were waited ui>on by the girls of the
school, all in white, with different colored
ribbons for those attendant on each table.
It made M exceedingly pretty scene.
Those who were curious about Hawaiian
cookery methods satisfied that curiosty
by a visit to the rear of the tent, where
a large smouldering lire burned. There
they saw large rolls or bundles of the ti
leaf, containing fish, young pig, or other
tempting meats. Elsewhere whole pigs
were slowly roasting, fowls and fish sent
an appetizing odor into the air, and before the welcome signal to rally round
the table came, all felt—if they did not
say—that they were in a «ondition to eat
a whole ox.
About half-past twelve His Majesty
seated himself. He was quickly followed
by the crowd, and the feast began. Of
course poi was everywhere; fresh poi,
sour poi, in bowls, on plates and in calabashes. There was fresh bread, but no
butter, for that forms no part of such a
feast; baked kalo and huge sweet potatoes; koele palau, cooked sweet potatoes,
cocoanut grated mixed with the milk;
kulolo, kalo and cocoanut grated and
mixed, then baked, making a most delicious pudding ; tuau, boiled young kalo
leaves, a "green"; limu lipoa and limu
kola, sea mosses or sea-weed; roasted kukui nuts but not grated, in which form it
is called inamona, and other dainties.
