"I AM so sorry to see you have been
out on such a DAY, my dear, without
rubbers," said middle-aged woman to
a young girl whose little feet were only
eneased in French CATERS, when the
streets were covered with snow and ice;
est does look as though you were too
poor to afford rubbers.' This had the
desired effect, and the next time the
young lady went to town she wore her
rubbers, much to the gratifation of her
mother, who had found warning of 81 k
ness, persuasion, etc., quite unavailable.
One has to become worldly-wise in deal

In every Government there should be an
officer, not dependent on any one of its de-
partments for his appointment or tenure of
office, whose duty it is to audit all accounts
of receipts and expenditures, to publish his
reports quarterly. and to present to the Legis-
lature his summary of such reports for each
biennial period. BY the present system, the
accounts of the heads of departments are
examined by legislative committees, in the
midst of the session, and if errors. discrepan-
cies or shortcomings are found, it is often too
late to amend them. Every officer who
receives or disburses public moneys, whether
from fines or costs of Court, taxes, sales or
leases of Government land or other property,
hiring out of prisoners, or from other sources,
should be required to make certified returns
thereof on regular printed forms. Like reports
should be made of all disbursements, with
vouchers showing precisely for what pur-
poses and to whom money has been paid out.
If such an auditor were elected by the
Legislature, with full power to call for such
returns and reports, there would be no such
complaints as have lately been made on the
island of Kauai, that one of the district mag
istrates there has not paid over the moneys
received by him for costs and fines.
The Hawaiian gazette., 1880-02-25

OF LATE there has been some plain healthy
expression of opinion, in the newspapers, as
well as by the Minister of Finance, although
not 1.-THE of the expressions made openly
by word of mouth Now that every one
has disclaimed," and g assured" and prom
ised good things, and all of us have had a
good whistle to keep mp our courage, let us
not rest with saying, these be brave words;'
let US have good work done, and a more sturdy
enforcement of the law.
There is one case which requires immediate
official action, and that is the case of the Hon.
Z. Liiikalani, District Judge on Kauai and a
member elect of the Legislature. 1t is public
scandal on Kauai, that this official has failed
for some time to account for or pay over his
receipts of fine and costs. If this be true, he
should at once be dismissed from his judicial
Office, and if the facts have been misrepresented,
it is due to the public, as well as to him, that
it be SO made to appear, on public investiga-
ton.

General Grant.

This distinguished Soldier ex-President and
Citizen is expected here in a few days. No man
of the present the past has had extended to him
such series of receptions by magnates, munich
palities and peoples both in the Old world (Occi-
dent and Oriept) and the new, as has this dis
tinguished man.
1t is noticeable that in all his progress around
the world. in all the entertainments given him,
both public and private he has steadily declined
to partake of wine or strong drink.
He will no doubt receive here, such hospitalities
private and public, as other people able to
tender him, and in view of the above facts, per-
haps not known to all, it is to be hoped that his
entertainers will honor themselves and him by
making their hospitalities by the absence of wine
and strong drink from their tables.
Some no doubt will be happy to do so when they
know that it is agreeable to him who might other
wise doubt its propriety.-Com

THE subject of District Judges running for
the Legislature is illustrated in the recent
elections. All but one of the District Judges
on Kauai, Maioho, Kakina, Kauai and Lilika-
lani, were candidates and three of them are
now representatives elect. Kaulukou, Dis
trict Judge of Kaneohe, Oahu, is a law-maker.
Kuihelani, the Wailuku Police Justice, sits in
the Legislature as Noble. Havekost of
Makawao and Makalua the Lahaina Justice,
have not asked for their patients" votes.
But the Molokai Judiciary is represented by
Kupihea. We are sorry for those who voted
against their judges. One of these wearers
of the ermine is said TO have announced that
those who did not vote for him had better
look out for their law cases.

IT would be of great service to the country,
if permanent commissioners were chosen by
the Legislature, for the purpose of examining
and reporting at the session of the Legisla-
ture, upon changes and amendments Of the
statutes. The temporary legislative commit
tees are entirely inadequate for this purpose.
The work of such commissioners if properly
done would save much time in a session, and
render our legislative work much more CON-
plete and satisfactory. They would also
afford great aid to the Ministers, whose meas
ure are always liable TO opposition, not on
the merits of the measures, but simply because
they are Government measures.

The general atmospheric disturbance which
reached its highest point at Honolulu in the gale
of the 23rd of December, at San Francisco on the
26th, and in England on the 2Sth when the terrific
disaster of the Tay bridge occurred, made itself
noticeable at Strongs' Island by an unprecedented
ocean swell from the southwark. Considerable
damage was done at the new station lately occu-
pied by the missionaries from Ebon, at Mwot, or
:" Morning Star Harbor, " on the southwest side
of Strongs Island. AS the spring tide rose toward
noon, the surf became SO violent as to overcome
the wide barrier of the reef, dashing through the
mangrove forests growing in the sea, and invading
the shore as never before known to do. Rev. Joel
Whitney and his family by P. NJ. were compelled
hastily to evacuate the new native house they
We're temporarily inhabiting and reached with
difficulty the higher ground where they took
refuge with Rev. DR.. Pease in his uncompleted
framed house. Mr. Whitney and the natives sue
ceeded in saving all his effects with but little dam
age from the sea- The stove in the cook-house
had been moved some feet by the surf. Some
houses where the king and his people happened
to be staying were quite wrecked. The east har-
Dor seems to have been undisturbed by the swell,
which was perhaps from the destructive gale near
the FIJI Islands.

ment of debts of not more than ten or twenty
dollars should certainly be in silver. Iffor all
other debts we really wish to have currency
of less than its intrinsic value, let us have
money more nearly equal than at present, to
its intrinsic or commercial value. Gold coins
of so per cent. actual value would be kept in
the country by one per cent discount as surely
as silver coins would be kept here by dis
