The proverb ssyeth What the heart is fun Of, the

This does not differ largely from the estimate
of receipts for the same period, presented to the
last legislature, which was 1898 900 or a de-
crease of about IS 900. The falling of is mainly
in the amounts Of receipts from foreign imports
and from internal taxes.
We give below the expenditures for the same
time, or from April /, 1856, to March 81, 1857,
and also, in the right hand column, opposite each
expenditure, the amount voted by the Legislature
for the same period. Appropriations were made
for tco years, and we take half the amounts

The items which have exceeded their appropri-
atoms are the Civil List and the Department OF
Foreign Relations. While most of the other
items have nearly consumed or exceeded the
amounts appropriated to them. it is amusing to
see the great curtailing which the Bureau of Pub
lie Works has had to submit to-more than one.
halt. Now is this department the only one in
the government that can bear such severe ampu-
tation? The appropriation for the Department
of Public Instruction has very properly been cut
down one quarter from the amount voted, but
might be still further reduced.
The Department of Law appears to swallow W
an unnecessarily large sum. 1t is questionable.

Judges for instance, on the island of Hawaii,

district justices with salaries at from $3.50 tc
$3.50 each. Now, could not all this judging bt

duty it should be to visit every district on thu
island once every month, and try such cases az

regard to the other islands, Maui, Oahu ant
Kauai. One good judge on each island, wholly
given to his work, would do the service now done
by several, at less than half the cost to the ma
ton and perhaps better. We desire to see thu
supremacy of the law maintained in every dis

every part of the kingdom but we believe tina
a reform of the judicial system is needed, ant
that the interests of the people will be thereb,
