The Government and Ee- ORGAN.

The last number of the PolynesiaH. in an
nOuncing the close of another volume or,that pa
per, takes occasion to repeat the stale slang and
give utterlncc to the bigoted notions through the
pEedoIuinancc of which it has thus far been sus-
tanned by the government, though at the expense
of Justice, morality, and Of the good name of the
government. 1t says:
No sensible. rejecting mind viii attempt to measure the
moral support {" the Government tn advocacy of truth To the
public. by an estimate Of dollars and cents. When those inter-
pet to advise the public OF that fact; hey f~l il ius,iactireiy,
and their support auI sympathy are Srouraneou-."
Every : sensible and rejecting mind does
measure the - mora support which the govern
ment receives from its organ by just the amount
of the money paid for it. In other words, the
=. moral support which the government receives
from its paper amounts To nothing, inasmuch as
every person employed about the press is bound
to say and do Just what the Ministers expect him
10 say and do. There i no freedom of speech
there. The editor and all the hands are hired by
the government to do its bidding, and do it they
must. What - moral support" then, is there in
the case? The d" moral support Of the slave
culogizing and defending his master-nothing
more OF less.
Reverse the case allow the public press to
stand on a fair and even basis-let it De independ-
ent, t. defend unbiased or oppose i Ministry, as
such Ministry might pursue a right or wrong
course then whatever support the government
might receive would be only the support Of
ircemen OF suhjectS-now it is only such support
a. hirelings yield.
We ask not that the PolyHcsiqH be discontin-
ucd but we do contend that it be placed on the
same footing as its rivals are, TO support itself on
its own merit. and that its Office be supported

NOTES OF TuE WEEK.

ANOTHER FREsHEr-Durins the forenoon of Sab
bath last, the rain fell in torrents on the mountains,
causing n sudden rise in the streams between Homo
lulu and Eva. The Nuaanu river was swollen higher
than in the late frcshet. when the stone bridge was
carried away. Fortunately the tide was low when
the stream was highest. and no serious damage occur
red beyond the carrying away Of the temporary bridge
erected in Nuuanu, and the cutting OF Of the supply
Of valley water. The pipes have been replaced and
the supply Of water restored. These frequent and
heavy freshets show the necessity Of having solid
structures built over our streams, Of sufficient span
and height to allow the largest volume Of water that
may come down, to pass without danger to the
bridges. Such bridges will cost perhaps oue-half
more in the beginning, but VIII last twice as long,
and be a saving in the end.

The GREAT EASTERN, J.-Quite a little commo-
ton was created last week by the appearance in our
harbor Of n miniature steamer,-nothing more or less
than "A snail boat about the size of n whaleboat. She
has a four-horse engine, driving n propeller, and
easily makes about eight knots an hour. She was
brought out from New Haven, by Capt. Clark Of the
whaleship ocean, and was intended for lagoon
whaling, but has not proved well adapted TO the SER
vice, rs She requires still water to allow her propeller
20 be of any service. For excursions to Pearl river,
she may answer very well. One of our punsters has
called her the Great Uesion."

Our cotemporary is greatly disturbed whenever the
truth happens to be presented to him. Every line in
the paragraph quoted from this paper IS believed to
be fact-true as Gospel. And until it is disproved,
by something more than the mere assertions or opin-
ions of "some prejudiced bigots,'' it must stand as
firm as gospel truth.
