Let her :. be broken up by all means or
what is better. turned into n sailing vessel wilch
is all she is good for. If anything may be lnier-
red from the above. it shows a resolution ON the
Governments part to Patch up the old hifa"ea
and run her again. This opinion Is corrooof"'eu
bv a statement in the Al Okoa of this week,
that new boilers are being made for her at the
foundry. 80 far as work for this Indispensable
institution Is concerned we wish there were n
dozen new boilers to be constructed; but when
we came TO discuss the using of public funds III
a way for which no authority exists in the appro-
priation bill, then our duty to the public leaves
but one course TO be pursued.
Even were there any fund from which the pur-
chase or repairs of the hAauea can Toe legally
paid. the interisland steamer law positively stlp-
ulates that the subsidy shall be paid out only Tor
n vessel that shall perform the trap TO and around
Halraii, i~ncluding Hlo, C'thin one 'reek. Now
the Kilauea never did, and never can be made TO
do this service. Therefore, any expenditure OF
the subsidy voted by the last Legislature tor this
service, except for the express object stated in
the law, will be a direct violation of the intention
of that body in voting it, which was to introduce
a new and more powerful vessel for the service.
If. in the face of these facts, the Ministry determ-
inc TO violate the law, to which they are constantly
appealing, as their only standard in this steamer
project, and expend public funds for objects not
contemplated, it will rest with the people to de-
termine how long such a violation of law can be
allowed. If the public funds can be misappro-
priated for one object, may they not for any other?

The Reciprocity Treaty.

The Senate adjourned on the ODD of April,
without other action on this measure than TO
postpone it till the next session, the vote standing
2i to postpone, TO % against the motion. This
can hardly be taken as an indication of the
strength of its supporters in the Senate but if it
is any, 1t has n very poor chance, in n body where
a two-thirds vote is required to ratify it.
The terms of the treaty, as signed by the
plenipotentiaries of the two governments, required
it to be ratified within eighteen months from
May, 1867. The limit having expired last No
yember, 1t becomes necessary 10 amend this stip-
~ulation, which can easily bc done, both parties
consenting to the change. 1t may be held, by
some of its opponents, that not having been rati-
fled within the term agreed on, it may be as we'll
to let it go now altogether.
As we stated Il week or two since, the Amcri-
can Cabinet Is probably in favor of its ratiica-
ton that is, two of its members are believed to
be supporters of it, and having studied its provi-
sions, are prepared to meet all objections. But
still, at this distance, it is difficult to tell just
what arguments are urged for or against it and
where so many more important measures are
pressed, it is not to be wondered at, that our
treaty, which is eyed with considerable suspicion
and jealousy, should be Land aside or postponed.
We suppose that our Hawaiian agents or
ENJOYS will now be allowed to return home, hav-
ing learned that Washington is n dear place to
live in, and that lobbying, ns a trade, don't pay,
even when government ioots the bills. as in this
instance

An ABSURD PROPOSITION. - Among the crazy
schemes before Congress, l. a proposition TO admit
IT. Domingo into the Union ~ a Territory Of the
United States. There i little or no prospect of the
success OF this scheme. which emdnateS from an In
diana member Of the House, and We only allude 10 II
as an indication Of the drift of current leEiSlatiOn,-
an Indication that impracticabhe and foolish schemes
can find advocates, while questions OF momentcus
import 10 the nation are, for the most part, ignored.
Until our financial ami industrial problem shall be
solved, il i idle to think u territorial expansion,
even though the acquisition Of outlying territory
should cost nothing in the shape of purchase money.
as it i claimed -. Domingo would not, beyond the
assumption, by our Government, Of certain ouStand-
ing debts of the duSky Republic, amounting, II Is
said, 20 twelve or fifteen millions of dollars, in gold.
The Times, in commenting upon this scheme, truly
remarks, that 1.-The suppression of ever-recurring
Instructions. the maintenance of order among a
people who delight in anarchy, the restoration of
prosperity 10 a land beggared ami bankrupt, is a
task from which any American, in his senses, might
be expected instinctively to shrink. We have neither
means nor credit 10 spare. And we protest against
squahderIng the prOuuct OF oppressive taxation, ana
damaging the credit which is already pledged TO 9TH
ers. that We may have the pleasure of hailing 200,-
600 dark-skinned DOminicans as fellow-citizens.
An agent is now at Washington, who is said 10 be
invested with plenary power by the President (Baez)
of 81. Domingo, to negotiate for annexation; but, as
anarchy seems 10 be the normal condition of the
population of that Island, it is altogether probable
that, should the proposition be seriously entertained,
President Baez would again be unseated and in exile,
before the scheme could be conSummated Even
now, while the agent is said to be the recipient of
" distinguished consideration - at the National Capt.
tai, adyices via the Cuban Cable, report one part of
the Island in open revolution against Baez. Were
the financial condition of our country prosperous
and assured, any measure looking to utilization with
n population at once ignorant, treacherous and bru-
talized, would be inexpeiient; as it is. with a heavy
and increasing debt, and no settled financial policy,
annexation should not be seriously thought of.

What il Thought orit.

y proposition has been made in Congress to
authorize the American Government To treat
with the authorities of san Domingo for it, an
~nexation TO the United States, not a. n State but
as a territory. No money i TO be paid for the
transfer, though it i expected that the United
States will assume the Dominican debt of fifteen
millions of dollars, more or less, incurred by the
various faction. in striving to retain the supreme
power.
BY the late mail. we begin to hear how the
papers in various parts Of the Union take this
new proposition for acquiring more territory. \
