wholesale and retail merchandise licenses. the
former TO &lOl and the latter to $5l and this
heavy tax upon both classes, induces the ques-
ton, How far are these dealers protected from
non-licensed sellers, and to what extent is the law
disegarded? Recent disclosures indicate that
traffic without license is carried on to an extent
which we had scarcely dreamed of.
Not ohlsk do retAllers suffer by non-licensed
peddlars and shop-keepers, but many retailers
themselves holding only a retail license, take the
inward able liberty of wholesaleing to a consid-
cradle extent. Formerly, but few retailers were
importers, but at the present day a large number
have turned importers, and a portion of their i'm
ports is in many instances freely sold by the
packages to heighbors and others in the trade.
By this open violation of the law. the regular
wholesale merchants and importers find them
selves sufferers to a considerable extent.
Still more open evasions Of the license law are
mentioned to us as having not unfrequently oc-
Cured at this port. Vessels engaged in the
foreign trade, bring frequently to this port a por-
ton of their cargoes on ships account, and this
has been sold by the captain without the inter-
vention or aid of a consignee. Vessels can thus
make a handsome profit on goods at a price at
which the regular importer would lose money,
the latter having to pay freight, license, store
rent, clerk hire, and other heavy expenses which
vessels are not subject to.
We remember reading an accountof a similar
evasion of municipal license regulations, which
secured in 1850 in Stockton. A schooner from
San Francisco persisted in selling her cargo at the
wharf without license. The merchants banded
together and affixed a tow line to her bows, with
which they towed her down the slough, and set
her adrift in the river below. Our Honolulu
merchants, to their credit be it said, are not given
to such demonstrations. A more law-abiding
people cannot be found the world over, and for
this reason, if for no other, they should be amply
protected by the proper authorities.
We shall doubtless be asked, "Why do not
your aggrieved traders make complaint to the
police officers, and give the names of the offend
ers, if these things exist?' This has been done,
and no good has resulted from it. Prosecution
did not follow and in one instance at least, the
name of the complainant transpired, and he found
himself in bad odor with his customers. 1t seems
to us, that with the aid of the license register at
the Interior Department and the entries of inn
porters at the Custom House, it would not re-
quire any great detective capacity on the part of
the proper officers to rectify abuses of the license
law. If the slightest disposition was shown to
proceed against such infraction of the law, no
difficulty would be found in obtaining all the in
formation needed.

THURSDAY, AUGUST IL

ISDS IL
The REVISED STATUTES passed by the late
Legislature, remain still a political riddle,
whose solution puzzles even the clear heads
Of our professional gentlemen of the bar, much
more the confused ideas of many of our petty
government officers, whose rule of official action
is too often simply the ipse dixit of their supe-
riors. 1t is currently reported that the said
statutes are considered as binding, as the law
of the land, simply because the period fixed at
which they should be deemed operative has trans
pired. But the mere arrival of such a set time
was not all that was contemplated in their enact
ment, as necessary to render them operative. The
Legislature, in setting a time, accompanied 1t
with the mandate that before that time arrived,
the law should be promulgated. That was evil
IDENTIFY the intent Of every member of both
Houses of the Legislature.
In the very act which we refer to, the king, the
people and the chiefs, have solemnly covenanted:
LIST. THAT no written law shall be obligatory
without being first printed and made public
ID. That the Minister of the Interior IS shall pro-
mugate The same.Jr publication in such newspaper
or newspapers, printed at the seat Of government as
he may deem proper" These. then, are abso-
lute.and unequivocal provisions in rendering a
law obligatory.
Now, have either of these provisions been COM
piled with in respect to the Civil Code? Wean-
swer, most emphatically, No. The public are
now as ignorant of its provisions, as a whole, as
they were two years ago. The law, which some
over-zealous persons think is the law of the land,
9. has rnAtAa-m- rue hands Of government officers
for study and recreation, but in no sense can
it be said to have been made public and
consequently in no sense can it be yet considered
as the law of the land, although parts of it may
DC enforced. Yet such enforcement can only be
viewed as arbitrary and unconstitutional.
But 1t may be argued that the words of this
"a" cannot be made applicable to itself. PRAY.
'nen' what law can be applied to the case, Com
mon sense, justice, and the rights of individuals.
as wen as the government, all require a law to be
published or promulgated before it can be con.
sidered operative. There may not have been
before enacted in this kingdom any law BEARING
on this subject. If so, custom alone is autbor;tv
enough, and custom demands the publication of
any law before it can lie considered binding
Axoxo the many complaints made against
the Eernment, is its failure to protect regular
1eaiefs holding licenses from the Interior Depart
ment in their rights against the swarm of dealers
On the sly, having no licenses 1t all, and others
who do a business which their licenses fail to GOV.
n. These complaints have been almost entirely
confined to the retail liquor dealers, Who. uavinr

Justly indignant at the iuef6ciency or willful neg
of government. which fails to ferret out and

Early in the morning. I repaired to the camp of
the bullock catchers, and found them to the number
of thirty or forty, including three native women,
ready mounted for the start. And an odd looking
company it was. The men wore mostly flannel shirts,
as did the women, but while some few had hats, the
majority were bareheaded, with thin. long elm locks,
confined by a gay-colored handkerchief, and stream
ing behind in the wind, gave them a wild Indian-like
appearance. The inseparahle leather ~leggings and

and mounted on their lean and scraggy but well

Indians, and also, as described in Livingstone's

encloses a half an acre, is built square of strong posts
