WEDNESDAY, MARCH 3, 1880.

COMPLAINT used to be made in England
that after the death of Prince Albert, Queen
Victoria would not go into society" enough,
and avoided social festivities. This COM
planning may have been confined to shop
keepers and tradesmen, who felt that they had
vested rights which were thus invaded. No
one ought To have cause for such fault-hnd-
ing in regard to King Kalakaua, for he Is the
most accessible Of sovereigns But would it
not be well, if there were more frequent
opportunity for our best people to meet His
MaiestY at nnhlic receptions.

ALL nature requires recreation. This even
the Darwinians must admit. Some of the
residents in our country districts have wished
that Christmas, New Years, Chinese New
Year week and Accession Day holidays, were
further apart, or else were put into ten con-
secutive days, for as those holidays now
come, they are serious inroad upon the
months Of December, January and February
No people more than the Hawaiians require
healthful gaiety, and amusements Of a kind
which do not excite evil passions. There is
Hawaiian dance which even foreigner recog-
nizes as gross and licentious. We do not
mean TO say that foreign round dancing is
unexceptionable. We are strait-laced enough
TO think that in mixed assemblies, the prac-
tice of young ladies dancing round dances,
often with men who are immoral in their
lives, or whose habits are gross, is by no
means safe or advisable. To get together
young Hawaians for dancing may not bring
bad results if the dancing is quiet and orderly,
if persons of notoriously bad repute are ex-
cluded, and if late hours are not kept. But
unfortunately these necessary conditions are
ignored5by some persons whose professions Npf
patriotism and religion would lead us to
expect better things of them.

DELAYS OF JUsTICE-The incompetency and
untrustworthiness of many native officials is an
Increasingly alarming feature in the adminstra-
tipn of public affairs. Whoever has at heart the
pHpgress and prosperity of the Hawaiian nation,
mist deeply regret that of late years there has
been growing disregard of the ''pono,' as the
national motto AYERS !" the life OF the nation IS
perpetuated only by righteousness" Disregard
of Gods moral laws is as sure to be followed by
its appropriate penalty sickness to spring from
malaria or death from poison. Even the mere
delay TO set things right often acts the grossest
injustice. We are glad to know that such NAL
feasance in Office as is charged upon the Kauai
District Judge is reprobated it deserves to be.
There is similarly reprehensible negligence in
the Maui official through whose ineffciency an
honest Swede, unable to explain matters in the
English language, is kept in prison week after
week.

The public have a right to know what be-
comes of the money with which they furnish
the treasury. Is it true or is it not true, that
the Government has loaned government money
to individuals without the authority of law
Did the Government receive interest on such
loans Was seven per cent. interest received
on the same securities for which twelve per
cent. was paid by those for whom the money
was obtained? These are fair questions, and
should be answered. Perhaps there is no
harm in paying out money from the treasury
by way of loans on government bonds, for
interest on the bonds is thus stopped; but we
know of no authority for loaning one dollar
on private securities. If this has been done
it is not enough to say that the money has been
repaid or is well secured. The Government
is trusted with the enforcement of the laws
and not with the manipulation of public moneys
for private purposes. On the contrary the
law declares that no public moneys shall be
paid out of the treasury except for the regular
Legislative appropriations, or in cases of emer-
gency, by resolve of the Privy Council.

THE practice in some sugar mills of casting
drippings or molasses into running streams,
is an intolerable nuisance to those who de-
pend on the water for drinking, washing or
bathing. As rule those whose rights are
thus invaded are helpless for want of means
10 litigate: and often they would right them
selves only at the risk of being subjected TO
other and possibly more serious inconvenience
at the hand of the powerful planter. We
suggest TO the Board of Health, that very
slight examination of these facts will convince
them, that they can find something to do, in
abating such public nuisances.

EDUCATION is usually regarded as pana-
cea for the undoubted evils of unrestricted
suffrage Ignorance and superstition are the
surest foundation alike for tyranny of the mob
and of the monarch. But it is worthy of
remark that in communities in which popular
education has been carried to its highest
extent, not few are considering the i'll effects
of over educating, and this not from appre-
hension of mal-administration in the body
polite, but on social grounds. 1t is found
that neglect of the humble duties of life, a
contempt for manual labor is one of the conse-
quences of raising the standard of education
above certain point.
1t is true, that such duties and labor may
be as essentially respectable as any others.
But practically young men and women are
often found to be untitled by the schools to do
well the work of mechanics, tradesmen,
farmers, artizans and especially of servants.
Hence these occupations suffer, while the pro-
fessions, counting rooms, and offices of all
kinds are crowded The training which
makes good mason or carpenter is not
necessarily inconsistent with the training
which makes a good classical scholar, but the
latter does not, if he can help it, earn his
bread by manual labor.
There is danger in pushing any theory to
extremes. Society as well as the individual
must suffer by over-weening conceit of mere
book knowledge to the exclusion of that edu-
cation which trains the eye, the muscles and
the mind for the every day, practical work of
life. Give boys and girls good manners, a
knowledge of their mother tongue, including
the correct way of talking, writing, pronoun-
cling and spelling their own language, and do
not allow them either to be ignorant or
ashamed of the work of the hand.

Postal SAVINGS BANKs.-It is to be hoped that
the administration, which has proclaimed I" Hooulu
Lahui' National Progress its chosen motto,
would encourage economical and thrifty habits in
Hawaiian people by the establishment of Postal
Savings Banks. Some such measure is absolutely
essential TO help this improvdent race in the care
of their property, and train them to habits of dill
gence and forethought. OF course there will be
some trouble in devising and arranging the legal
measure needful for establishing and managing
such system: but public officials not supposed
to be put in positions of responsibility that they
the many instances of true regard for the highest
welfare of the people which we expect to see from
this paternal government some promises will be

ures of such great utility Postal Savings Banks
have been proved to be i'll England and elsewhere.

I'VE quite agree as to the necessity of legisla-
ton of the kind here suggested but think it would
be safe to require all payments to be in o. s. gold
for debts over so, and that the country can alb
sorb ali the silver now here that ought to be used
at ALL in its general circulation. But even if the
Treasury had to redeem this silver with gold, for
say six months. that would be better than the pre-
sent condition of things.-ED.
The Hawaiian gazette., 1880-03-03


Our contemporary of the AdUertiser, still
adhering to its personal methods, states that
"a writer in the GAZETTE in treating the sub
ject of our currency falls into error in saying
that the Mexican (new die), Chilean Peso and
Peruvian Sol, have value fixed by the Privy
Council" We cheerfully make the correc-
tion suggested, the above named coins being
mentioned in Thrum's Almanac as current
here for the values we named. With this ex-
ception, which has no bearing on our argu-
ment, the Adoe,fiSe1' controverts none of the
facts stated by US. Our contemporary further
says:
1.-The sooner that a certain class of theorists
give up looking upon gold and silver as anything
else than merchandise, the sooner we shall have
less of the twaddle about debased currency. =
In regard to the Mexican dollar, which is dez'
cried because II Is quoted IN San Francisco at 50
$40 cents, can only say that its intrinsic value
Is greater than that of the U. s. standard dollar,
or two q. S. half dollars, and so long as it fur
nlshes the counter we require, we can see no rea-
son for spurnlng it. just why any person
need find fault with his neghbor for buying silver
in San Francisco and selling it at profit in Homo
lulu, any more than he should if the said neighbor
bought nails, hay or live stock for gain, confess
Is beyond our understanding If there is any one
thing that will disturb values here more than the
senseless talk of Mr.. Hoapili Baker and his col
league, it is the equally senseless talk of those
consonance with pet theories"
We submit to our respected contemporary,
that calling names is not argument, and that
it betokens ill-temper and lack Of argument.
Our position is safe enough, while it is an
swered only by calling it "twaddle," or
"senseless." Does the Adrerfiser claim that
the only purpose of currency is accomplished
by furnishing counters with which pay
ments can be made? If so, the greenback, or
fat money men are right. for paper can meas
ure values as well as gold or silver coins can
measure them. Believers in hard money
howoeer are of the opinion that legal currency
not only should represent, but possess in
itself the actual intrinsic value which it rep
resents. The Adrertise,'s view that no one
ought to complain if coin is bought in San
Francisco and sold here at profit proves too
much, for it admits that our currency is re-
duced in value. If from six to nine per cent.
profit should thus be made, the same argu-
ment would debar complaint of twenty per
cent. profit. The fact is, that we do not pro-
pose to "re-arrange" the currency, but to
bring it back to its condition a few years ago,
when United States gold was as plenty as sill

The LABOR QUEsTIoN.-There are so many prac-

most careful engineering to cross morasses get
through mountain passes, secure shortest yet most
feasible routes for our railroads. 1t ID work of
still greater difficulty and skill to carry out need
full and proper legislation in regard to this labor
question. A want of tact on the part of some
ployers will always keep them in hot water. Want
of sufficient capital for the amount of business
undertaken will make difficulties on the planta-
tions, struggling to keep afioat Downright laZi-
ness or wickedness will expose some men to rough
treatment, brought on by their own folly. Ignor-
stupidity will make some suffer, where
others will find comfort or even pleasure. Abuses
will grow up under the best system if left to the
administration of knaves or buies. 1t is impos-
sible for the most rigorous justice, or the most
considerate kindness, to put an end to every
wrong or hardship. The laws that punish the use
of opium or liquor with imprisonment, not with
fines, deprive the employer often of labor that he
needs, and he thinks it not for his interest to
see those laws enforced. Planters don't want
young children or mothers, when they calculate
closely on so much labor for much money, and
so families are broken up, and some of these poor
Micronesian parents are mourning the mysterious
disappearance of their children.

below Helena, Arkansas. The

the outlook is gloomy. The steam
