The inc FROM Cr5~n lands should % into the
Treasury, am the Kings salary be fixed a. about
$4,000 per afnufn.
The Minister'S should DO put AZ 81, 1000. The mill
tary should do : part Of the police duty, 50 as to
diminish the expense Of these departments as much
IS possible. Tho legislative compensation should be
fixed at 500 or $50 per session. The judiciary
might perhaps be remodeled SO IS to diminish the
expense without i~mpairing Its efficiency.
To carry out something Of this kind viii REQUIRE
patriotism and selfdenial, but the Legislature doubt
less possesses both in both its native born and natu
rallied members; and such a reform and retrench-
ment will secure to them the confidence and respect
of larger and more powerful states, and do more to
perpetuate their independence than almost any other
step they can take.
If the Constitution requires to be changed it can
be done If the people viii it, and in the mean time,
persons Of character may be found who Will nomi-
Rally hold the Ministerial and Gubernatorial Offices
without pay, whist the real acting Ministers and
Governors will DO the work.
By this method, the chief benefits Of the measure
can be realized at o4cs, pending such changes in the
Constitution as may be deemed necessary or desira-
bic. The salaries Of clerks Of departments, and
minor officers who have full ,rork, should not be
diminished; especially where skill and responsibility
aud perhaps bonds are required. The Department Of
Education should Be conducted efficiently. Says one
long connected VITA the State Prison of New Hamp-
shire, % that from its opening some sixty years, there
has not been amug its inmates. one clergyman,
lawyer, physician, editor, not one deacon, steward,
church warden, claIs-leader, nor son of d clergyman;
and have been able to learn of but two persons
who at the time Of the commission of the crime
were members of any church, Education is one
great preventive Of crime, and it would be a mistake
to economic here.
The Legislature has done well to reject the bill
legalizing the sale q intoxicating drinks to natives.
"A judge in the Unied States said that scarcely n
crime came before him which was not occasioned
directly or indirectly by strong drinks Another to
the jury, 'lfi were not for this drinking you and I
would have little to do Economy and wise and
impartial legislation will go far to promote and per-
petuate the prosperity of the nation. Prodigality,
and partial legislation, will soon bring it to its end

Extract from Sermon Ist
The Pharisee stood and prayed thus with himself,
God, / thank thee, that / am not as ether men are,

To the Editor Of The Pacific Commercial advertiser !:
SIR In your issue of May ID, in speaking of the
new Government building, now known as Aliiolani
House. you conclude by saying that in admiring its
me proportions and artistic finish, it is we'll to re-
member that the credit is principally due to Mr..
Robert Lishman, the architect and builder.
Let US see how far you were correct, and whether
you have given honor to whom honor is due. have
been informed that the plans of the building, now
known as Aliiolani House. were drawn by Mr.. T.
Rowe, No. SCI. Pitt street, Sydney, at q cost of
$1,000, for a palace, altered here by Mr.. Robert
Stirling and approved by DR.. Hutchison. The art
istc finish, so far as that means the carpenter work.
was done by Mr.. VIM. Dean; but if the painting and
granting is meant, that has been and still is under
the charge of Mr.. J. W. Gibbs. Perhaps, however.
the hard-fnish and the ornamental work of the
plastering is what is referred to, and if that is so,
then that portion of the work was executed by Mr..
Van Dyke and Mr.. I. P. Cleary, who were sent for
from abroad, for that purpose. Thus l have indi-
Gated who in reality are the men, who if anybody,
are entitled to the credit for the &c fine proportions
and artistic finish - of the new Government building.
Yours truly, O. I.

IL t@ Lit.r q. ne FEr1i- Commercial .iEgersser:
sm- ask :r q few lines Of your columns il
order to make brief reference to some remarks which
have appeared in the last page Of tie Friend for this
month, and which have c.isitcl no little criticism in
the course Of street conversation.
The said last page. being provided by a committee
Of the l. N c. Association, does not. I believe.
claim the night assumed BY the prints Of particular
Churches, OF beins intended only for the reading OF
members q such churches. and therefore free
IRON outside criticism; for the Association, as both
Its name and its constitution indicate, holds no sec
tartan views.
From what l know Of the Association and Of the
committee, TO which the remarks alluded 10 are at
tributable, l feel sure, not only that they have
caused much regret 90 IL think I may saw all
members Of the Association. but that the writer
must, upon reconsideration, have also regretted the
probable haste or other abnormal rcumstanc which
has permitted their utterance; and that their author
has likely been anxious, ere they saw daylight, to
modify or withdraw them.
There Is nothing in the constitution Of the Y. NJ.
c. A, 50 far as I know, which should prevent even z
conscientious Roman Catholic from sharing in its
objects aud membership; and l believe that ia adj
dressing You I am but expressing the views, not
only Of many members who happen also to belong to
the Bethel or Fort Street Churches, but Of those Of
the members who, like myself, would sign themselves
as Outside THIS PALE.
Il enclose my card, and thank you for the space
you have afforded mel

The Question of the Day.

The tide of intemperance like a maelstrom swal-
lows up property, character and life beyond all
human computation.
Just as a tornado sweeps over a land, leaving des-
olatiOn behind, and men stand aghast with fear,
barely hoping to save themselves-so good men have
looked at this fearful calamity, not knowing what to
do. The very magnitude of the evil unnerves them.
But tornadOes do not blow forever; and every mid
night is followed by morning.
.NotO the question comes in a practical form. How
long shall this wave roll over these islands? The
conflict is coming; who will come to the rescue?
And what shall we do?
Let every man who has moral courage and who
believes in the final triumph of the right, stand
shoulder to shoulder in the unfinching confidence of
faith, and one shall chase a thousand.
Z Sin is a coward, and the workers of iniquity hide
themselves in their dark places when their deeds are
brought to light.
Truth is the shot and shell the enemies of temper
ance cannot stand. Let us scatter light. The his
tory of the past encourages US, and we stand on the
verge of greater events.
Fifty years ago the man who dared to denounce
slavery was considered a fool, and his life was some
times the penalty-now that slavery is dead, he is
heralded as q martyr for the truth. Fifty years
hence what win be said of a government which ped
dies out an opium license for a few paltry dollars,
thus entailing disease, death and poverty on its
ficture 10 yourselves, II you can, the victims OF
t this. article IT S.J B1lsSdinGg hi in d fE2aPtja dfPqH Rsss Whose T bewitch-
influence they have lost the power to resist.
The difficulties in the way of the cause of temper
anee may be very great, and its friende and sup
porters may be called to sacrifices and patient labor,
but truth is mighty and shall prevail. A. NJ. D.

Retrenehment.

Mr.. EDITOR The Legislature is now in session
and will soon be considering the appropriation bill,
Some petitions have been already before them to
diminish expenses by cutting down the salaries. 1t
Is certain that expenses must be diminished, or a
debt will soon be incurred perilous to the indie
~pendence Of the Kingdom; or taxes will be imposed
50 heavy that they will not be willingly paid, and
this will jeOpardize the independence of the Kingdom.
II the Hawaiians desire TO continue an independent
people, they will avoid both of these conditions by
selfdenial and patriotism. They will abolish all un-
necessary offices, and cut down salaries, where it is
just to cut them down, or where necessity may re-
quire it.
We are a small people, scarcely equal to many
small towns in larger and more ~populous countries;
and We are a poor people; and yet we have all the
machinery of many large and wealthy governments.
Government is instituted for the good of the peo-
pie, and not to give Offices and salaries to any man
or set of men. The Offices should only be sufficient
to do the work, and then the men to do it should be
chosen for their ability and fitness. No Office should
be made for any man, and no incompetent man
should be put into any Office; every man being chosen
on account Of his fitness for the duties of his Office.
Necessity alone should indicate the number of
offices, and the ability of the people should measur-
ably govern the Hberality of the salaries. What

diminished A Committee of the Legislature, in
GLIDING the best and wisest Of the native and the
foreign Hawaians, in equal numbers, should be ap-
pointed to consider this subject and report upon it.
The matter requires the best consideration Of the
Legislature, and they should act for the general good
and above all personal feeling or motives. But I
will mention some Of the Offices that l think should
be abolished as unnecessary.

letriment to the public interests.

UNQUEsTIOSABLY the public expectation was
disappointed on Wednesday, when it was found
that the government semi-oficial organ contained
no word of authoritative explanation as to the
real causes which led to the late dissolution of
the Cabinet. The Gazette is only - led to infer -
that the want Of harmony among His Majesty s
advisers was in connection with the Appropria-
ton Bill, and go the public, who are Immediately
and particularly interested as to who hold the
responsible offices in the administration of the
government, are also - left to infer" in a de-
moralizing state Of uncertainty as to what really
were the causes which have deprived the country
of the services Of two valued public officers.
But though official sources afford no such in
formation as is desired, we can state upon un-
doubted authority, that the circumstance which
alone caused the retirement Of the late Attorney
General. from the Cabinet, was the inability of
that gentleman to support the Budget as it mad
been prepared by his colleagues, and as it was
placed before the Assembly and the country. On
this issue, finding his advice oyerruled, he took
the only course left open to a ~high-minded and
conscientious public servant, and rendered his
resignation. And what is the result? We see
the Ministry adopting the very course in regard
to the Budget which was urged by their late col
league, and the advocacy of which by him was
the cause Of the lack Of /" harmony" in the
Cabinet. The individual member of the Ministry
whose advice 1t now appears was prudent, pat
riotic and practicable, is thrown overheard, while
those who persistently and to the bitter end op-
posed that advice, retain Office and, inconsistently
enough, themselves adopt the policy to defeat
which they dissolved the Cabinet. If there is
anything nHir' just, or mrlsurubly high-toned m
all this, we fail TO scc IL.
We are not, and never shall be, the p~artisans
OF any man or set Of men either in or out of
Office, but we hold the principle that the main
tenance of a high standard l. of official consistency
and dignity arc ultra essential to the preserva-
ton of public confidence in any Ministry.

it says. 90 Wednesday last, Attorney Gen
eral Hartwell resigned bis seat in the Cabinet,
which was followed the next day by the resigua-
ton Of Mr. Widemann, Minister Of the Interior .
