THE PACIFIC
Commercial AObertlstr.
FEBRUARY 5.

AT THIS particular time, when the Legislative
session is near at hand and Ministers are about
preparing the Budget to present before the As
sembly, it will behooye them to take into con-
sideration (besides whatever other measures Of
economy they may intend to propose) the not
uncomfortable number Of useless offices that might
be abolished, or the expenditure for which might
be properly reduced. We have no inkling Of the
policy that government intend to adopt, either
generally or particularly, in order to meet the
necessities Of the treasury; but We suppose that
as intelligent and conscientious men, having those
necessities ever in mind, they will inaugurate a
settled policy Of economy, and tax all their ener-
gies to check the system of lavish expenditure
into which the public service has fallen. As no
negotiations have yet been made for the loan con-
templated by the last Legislature, even the tenn
porary relief which that scheme might produce
If carried out, must not now be thought of.
While we look forward with solicitude for the
of the Reciprocity Treaty, yet
knowing the deficiency of revenue that must
follow, we should be looking about for every
available means by which to meet that deficiency
without injurlOusly adding to the burden of taxa
ton. But aside from the probable contingencies
OF the treaty, there stIll exist aDundant fea6On5
why every superauous and expensive mere adorn-
ment of our system should be Immediately abol-
ished, and nothing retained but that which is
actually necessary to the efficient conduct of pub
lie affairs.
The duty therefore that will devolve upon
Ministers at this time, more perhaps than at any
previous time in our history, will be a grave and
onerous one and in the discharge of this duty
let us hope and believe that no undue Difference
will be paid to personal interests whenever such
may be found to run counter to the claims of an
impoverished treasury or the needs of the public
service.
In looking over the Biennial Bill of Appropria-
tions passed at the last session of the Legislature,
we have been impressed with the view that many
of the Offices therein enumerated and for which
salaries are paid, might be abolished without any
real detriment to the efficiency of government,
but that on the contrary, such a policy would
tend very materially to solve the financial pro-
blem. In our next issue We propose to enter
into a somewhat detailed consideration of this
subject.

THE FIREMEN's PARADE.-The Annual Parade OF
the Honolulu Fire Department, under direction Of
s. Lemon, ESQ, Chief Engineer, took place on Thurs
dav last. The Department did not show as strongly
in numbers as on some previous occasions, which
NAV be accounted for by the showery weather which
prevailed and the muddy condition of the streets.
The different machines were in perfect order and
made q handsome appearance as the procession
headed by the band, marched through the principal
streets. They were unadorned, with the exception
of Mechanic No. 2, which displayed q profusion
of flowers and eyergreens, with appropriate notices.
eTWo's'' greatest adornment however, IN the ap-
probation Of the spectators, was a trio OF = volun-
teer little ones-Willie Mott, Danson Keilett and
Nou;e Sheldon-children of active members of the
cornnany. that were seated on the platform Of the
engine during the march. On passing the Palace,
hae-tv cheers were given for sc Our Fireman King"
The narsde was over by u o'clock, and the different
comnanies, each at their respective rooms, partook OF
a bountiful LUNCH, and an hour or two was spent IN
social enjoyment. The usual loyal toasts were duiy
bonored, speeches made, and a good time generally
vas had. The companies present at the parade were
