That the ~A dvertiser'' coiiieso\it strong in favor of the theorv of evolution. Tnis is a great change in that organ's relig;on. The paper is not developing into anything. So it is a misjtake we suppose; the editur did not get in his work. That the dredging of tlie harbor has stopped fur «rant of fundsj and everything elsc hus blopped for want of ministerial brains and energy. Even the Kinanee D«partnient has stopped t he sale of bonds" at less than their cush value. 1 That SherifT Hituheock has been rcarranging his deputies; he evidently feels very secure in his position as autocrat of Hawaii—lt aiay he; but we shall not on that aeeouni eease to give to the puhlie sketches of his reign. .

That gent!enian fonnd a plaee for his nephew as inspectorof immigranls instantaneously. He did it. anu it may be the last act of his reign; he has done since. ——— That ihe road they offer Wilcox had only $3000 appropriated for it and the sui veying work is already done by some one else. The most cxpert thi*-f in the reform party could nolr make $1000 out of it and an honest man not $500. It is not a big thing. It pays better to be a traitor or a detective.
