Terms of subscriptions:

We never could see the virtue OF
the boast which is so often made by
papes and magazines, that so large a
portion of their pages IS original.
Such originality is often MAIN
tanned at the Expense of the worth.
The best exchanges of our acqualnt-
ance are by no means those which
have the greatest amount of original
matter. There is more of editorial
tact and talent required to make
proper and practical selections, than
is put in requisition by the produc-
ton of the vaunting original papers,
who seem to require originality as
the only requisite for good peri
odical. A good newspaper is al
ways dependent upon other resources
than its own. And the boast of
periodical that it is entirely original,
is too often like the boast of library
if it should claim to have the pro-
duction of only one author.

Mr.. EDITOR Il perceive that you have fallen
into a most uncomfortable habit of grumbIing.
You proved the other day. apparently to your
own satisfaction, that the Hawaiian Legislature. as
now constituted. is nothing more nor less than a
farce, and now again you are making it out that
the Hawaiian Government is a despotism. Allow
me to say, that it strikes me you are making a
great deal of unnecessary pother. Suppose that
the one is. as you say, a farce, and the other a
despotism. those are not pleasant words to be
flung in our faces, and then-what are you going
to do about it?
But in the first place. The Legislature is a reality,
not a farce just as the crater of Kilauea is a
reality, and in much the same way, for it serves
as a safety valve. through which periodically the
confined yapors-for they are nothing else--Of the
people may end vent. AS to giving the Repre-
sentativcs any real power in the administration Of
the Government.-tha is an absurd idea. and not
to be tolerated for a moment. 1t IS quite sufficient
that the common peopIe-that is. some Of them
should be allowed to think that by sending Rep
resentatives to the Assembly they are taking a
part in the Government Of the country it serves
to make them quiet and contented.
Then again. as to that ugly word despotism-
why can't you be content to let the Ministers
manage everything lin the name Of the King
without giving the rest of us any trouble? I'm
sure 1t is very kind of them to do the desperate
hard work Of running the country altogether with
ont our assistance, and if a Judge Of the Supreme
Court. or any other ofsce holder don't suit them,
its mighty hard if they can't turn them out.
What's the use of being boss. if you can't do as
you like? So just you stop your confounded
erumbling. or perhaps there will be found a way
to make you. \ word in your private ear. had

S~ATERDAY. MARCR 9.

FoUR dreary columns more in the Gazette Of
Wednesday, being the continuation Of the houn-
dering attempts Of the Ministers to get ont of the
mire Of the steamship subsidy affair. but which
unhapPiiy result IA their getting still deeper into
the slough At length however, after repeated
inquiries on our part, the silence is broken as to
that fourteen thousand dollars paid to the Hall
line, bat the usually afable and arrogant writer
slightly loses temper, and lie snaps out that he
does not see that it is any of Nh. Webb's bus
ness, if the Government did or did not pay Mr..
Hall the money and further that We (the ADvER-
TISER) have no right 70 inquire whether the pay
ment was illegal or not. These are not the words
used, but they convey precisely the same meaning.
To a certain degree, this i satisfactory, as it is
a clear statement on the part of the Ministers
that they entertain towards the public precisely
the feeling for which We have given them credit
that is, a feeling Of contempt. They have the
power, and they intend to exercise it, to do Just
as they like with the public funds, and now AFRO
gantiy say, in SO many words, that it is nobody's
business but their own. Precisely SO.
We claim to have been consistent throughout
from the beginning of this controversy. We
have declared ourselves opposed to the principle
Of paying any subsidy, from the first, and we are
still opposed TO that principle. But this Govern
ment having paid a part of the money appropri-
ated, to one line, We have claimed and do claim,
that they are in duty and in honor bound TO
the payment to the other line under like
circumstances and with the additional reason
could make, to do so.
a word as to the Privy Council. The Ga>eue
of February II, says:
cit will be seen that the Cabinet, however de-
sirous they may have been to grant any subsidy to
steamers, are entirely controlled, by the terms of the
appropriation bill, by the decision of the Privy
In the letter of the Minister of Finance, dated
February 18th, we find the following sentence
"It (the subsidy was recommended by myself.
and each Minister in his place used all arguments in
its favor"
Perhaps they were not all in their places. But
the Gazette of the 9th says:
There has been no time when the Privy Council
refused to take action in the direction suggested
by the Ministry
Here is Il slight " conflict of authorities" but
t is probably of equally slight Importance.
The conclusion of the whole matter, to Judge
from the winding up of the Organs leader, is
,his-that Mr.. Webb, although he had good
,ause, has done something which the Ministers
consider to be 3 hasty and i'll advised, - and that
f he will recede, the whole affair may be yet
amicably. Afable arrogance to the last.
In this connection, and by way of Il last
word, the permission to utter which has been
70 gracefully accorded us by our cotemporary,-
We would say that we hope that " Observers
p hints may bring about the much-to-
reconciliation.

FEsTIvAL.-Tbe Strawberry Festival, under the
auspices Of the Ladies' Benevolent Society, was held.
last Thursday evening, in the basement of the Fork
Street Church, and was a decided success. One &C
the features of the evening was the nose Of the pea-s
nut woman, who dispensed the numerous quarts Of
that celebrating esculent to the laughing crowd who
surrounded her. The exhibition of the megaletho-
scope was very pleasing, and was well patronized as
was the refreshment table, presided over by ladies
whose bright smiles lent a new charm to the floral
decorations in which they were embowered. The
affair realized about three hundred dollars.
