REPORTING.

We are glad and think it most proper, that
the members of the Legislative Assembly, or
at least some of them, are strenuous for hay-
ing themselves placed right upon the record.
Even when person is talking in his freest
and clearest moods, it by no means follows
that he is conveying to his hearers the same
ideas which are in his own mind, or that he
would not be surprised TO review his sentences
as reconstructed after passing through the
ears and brain of another. DR.. Holmes puts
this point lucidly, by asserting that what
man intends to say, what he really does say,
and what others hear him say, are quite diff
ferent matters.
The reporters in the Assembly often have
occasion to discover that what they get down
is liable to be rejected as wholly incorrect,
by the person speaking, for a man speaking
off hand seldom has his idea fully complete
in his own mind, but seeks to enforce its
most prominent point, and therefore, his SEN
fences partake of the character Of thought
sought 10 be expressed.
A great degree of incompleteness of re-
port must occur where the words are taken
as they are spoken, because the writer cannot
keep up with the speaker and must be con-
tent with getting the prominent meaning
partly in the language uttered, and partly in
his OVID. Only the Stenographer can stand
upon his reports and affirm beyond contra
dietion that his copy is what the speaker did
say, whether or not it is what he intended TO
say, or others thought he said.
In the Assembly of Thursday, the member
from Kohala rose TO a question of privilege,
stating that he was reported, and was
made to say in the AH Okod that he was an
annexationist, whereas he was not, '.but had
written and done more against it than the
Government paper itself"
The gentleman is entitled to be set right
upon the record, and we do it in the above
sentence, where he distinctly defines his po-
sition. In his remarks, made under the pres
sure of excitement, he clearly states what in
his other speeches in the Assembly, he had
indicated rather hazily, and with apparent
reservation. The member is not an annexa-
ZIONIST,
Though our reporter was taken to task,
vet we are glad to say be was let down easily,
as being tolerably fair minded. But the most
cutting grief was this: ''he had reason to be-
lieve that the alterations were made ma
Hcionsly in the printing Office, to injure the
reputation Of members"
The editor of the AH Okoa had the sentence
taken from the Castles reports to render in
to Hawaiian. "When the question Of Reel
procity came up, the Hawaiian paper issued
from the Government press had begun to
charge Whitney, and Others of that stamp,
with endeavoring to annex the country TO
the United States % which was translated:
"Mawaena na poe ku mai haawii ko

The condition and prospects Of our in
digenOus population is subject worthy of
the deepest attention by the Government
the Assembly. and all who feel an interest
in the Hawaiian race. The causes which
have been in operation for many years past
to decimate this people, are still in ac-
t;vity. and can not be removed by any le-
gislative or pbilanthropic measures. They
are natural causes, incident upon our con-
dition and civilization, before which We
must sink unless imported vitality is given
to the population, equal to withstandiDg
their fatal effects. The progress of this
evil is seen in the lack of laborers to
carry forward the industrial enterprises of
the country. and is already become an OBJ
stacle of serious weight when new agri-
cultural schemes are in contemplation.
Capital must not only plan and provide,
but must be secure of having the hands to
execute its work.
Simply to supply labor. is neither
complex or difficult problem 1t has been
drawn for years from the great labor
markets of China and India, and may be
had from other quarters. 1t falls under the
laws which govern trade, and under proper
surveillance of our authorities, may be
committed to private persons to seek for,
and supply themselves, as the present
demand for laborers is not urgent. Our
future want is a much more important

The more difficult and complex question
for present consideration Is, how may our
indigenous population be supplemented,
and an impulse be given. which shall not
only check the waste, but give balance
in favor of increase and enlargement! This
is worthy Of study by our rulers, and If it
can be accomplished, win be considered as
one Of the soundest and wisest political
measures ever discussed by the Hawaiian
nation

tracts are unoccupied, can only be viewed

Us and TO them. A scheme properly de-
vised, with the sanction and under the
control of the Board of Immigration, with
provision made by the Government for
the maintenance of Polynesian immigrants
by placing them on lands. and instructing
them in the art of cultivating the soil for
the production oftheir own food, and the
caring for them until they became self
sustaining, would, in its operation, not
only place our population on the ascending
scale, but quickly and naturally solve the
labor question.
Those familiar with the groups of atolls
to the west of us, believe that little per-
suasion, and the mere promise of care and
protection by the Government, will suf-
fee TO induce nany of their inhabitants
to choose their future homes here. 1t will
not be difficult to procure women in many
OF the islands where tribal and constant
wars have slain the men, SO hat the
former are greatly in excess.
1t is fact worthy of serious attention
when large landowners state their belief
that, among their own tenantry, or in their
own neighborhood, twenty, or thirty, or
fifty men are without wives, and that they
would gladly marry and support wives,
were they brought from foreign islands
Not to devise plans for meeting such
a disjointed social condition, is to see
the wave of social crimes sweeping towards
US, without making an effort TO stay its
progress. We hear that some landowners
offer to give the use of their lands, and
pledge themselves TO care for, Polynesian
for the sake of re-peopling
valleys which are now living waste, and
with the expectation that the example of
the Hawaiians will not fail, in the end, to
inspire the new denizens both with the
disposition to support themselves, and to
enjoy the fruits of their labor in working
for others. Such declarations from private
persons serve 20 show that private in

The Hawaiian Is a rather literal rendering
of the above sentence, but how ola kekahi,
the relative pronoun, can be carried farther
back for its autecedent than Wini, and be
fastened on the other proper namein the SEN

of explaining. Or again, that the aka" in

clear this meaning, twas declared ga mea,

Okoa) newspaper, that Whitney was one, etc.
The malice, If any could be confessed, by
the translator, must evidently be aimed at
o wini, and not at the member for Kohala,
and therefore, the necessity of asking the
House to order the editor to fellow copy does
not seem to be great, though the advice is
both sound and reasonable to q printers ear.
We dispise malice and all uncharitableness,
and allow them no place in our creed.
1t would be matter of philosophic curios-

was really spoken on the floor. We have
given above that by the reporter of the Ga

sUBsIDY.-The vote on subsidy, on the
third reading or final passage of the bill,
will be taken on Thursday. The Bulletin of
the 2sib says:
At the time the Idaho left Honolulu a pro-
position was before the Hawaiian Legislature
for subsidy for two steamers per month
instead of one. The proposition, however,
was hardly expected to meet with favor.
We can assure our friends at the islands that
unless the Steamship Company receives some
aid from the Hawaiian Government or an
increase in their subsidy from the American
Government; it will be some time before an
additional steamer per month is placed on
the line. The traffic between Honolulu and
San Francisco is believed TO be altogether too
limited and too unremunerative TO justify
two steamers at present unless additional
Government aid is secured
