able to give the efficiency OF the various

new arms arrive this will probably be
remedied. Ammunition and arms being
somewhat short now. the soldier has tc
learn the use of his piece in theory, but
the theory Is unexceptionable.
We are glad to have the estimates Of

more, efficient, they, Of course, are better
paid than the armies Of other nations

the vote is passed, and the five officers are
TO have 40 undress suits during the next

items. the forces will use up 1.536 bars OF
soap. 1855 pairs Of shoes. $50 worth of chairs

periodicals. In the matter Of shirts, the
estimate is low. 732 shirts for 81 men fol
two years, Is too little, the Legislature will
have to deal literally with this item.
One especial feature about the army
must be particularly agreeable TO the Leg
islative Assembly, and that Is, that having
voted the money, they have absolutely nc
control over it: it can be spent Just as II
suits those in command, and there IS nc
authority to call for a detailed account
This, Of course, simplifes the duties of the

dangerous elements in the nation have
had II their own way. The Hawaiian
demagogue needs nothing better than to
place the Englishman against the Ameri-
can. and so paralyze the influence Of both,
and he will do abolt as he pleases SO long
as both branches OF the Anglo-Saxon race
refuse to stand shoulder to shoulder IN
matters Of public interest.
In the matter OF the Reciprocity Treaty
it Is well known that it was granted by the
United States with the expectation that
the Islands would retain and maintain
their Independence, but at the same time
American interests would in natural
way predominant, and act as guarantee
against any foreign alliances. This course
was preferred by the United States IN the
place Of an active policy.
To us 1t seems as plain as possible that
the interests OF Englishman and Amerl-
cans are. in this country. identical Ing.
lishmen are here for the purpose OF
making money. OF building up fortunes
Of advancing their private affairs. Amer
leans are here for the same purpose; so
are Germans and so are Frenchmen. we
hear of no jealousies between the Two
latter and the first named but as we
have already said, IN some quarters there
is not that cordiality upon political mat
tiers. that there should be between the two
Anglo Saxon cousins.
Were the tables reversed. and were
these Islands near Great Britain or one
Of the Colonies, from which they We're
obtaining large commercial advantages,
which might for certain reasons be ex-
tended. we should not hesitate to call
upon cur American cousins to assist III
cementing those bonds with Great Britain
OF her Colony and from what we know
Of many of them. we would have little
doubt that they would come forward;
but we are not near either OF the places
mentioned. the oyershadowing influence
here comes from different quarter and
it Is the Englishman's turn to stand by
his American cousin. After all, what Is
II that Is wanted All that Is needed Is
not to thwart the United States IN acqulr-
ing that influence which she legitimately
desires.
The Hawaiian too must face this ques-
ton. His future prosperity depends upon
how he will answer it. Young Ha-
waii may be very strong and very lusty,
but Young Hawaii likes places Of
honor and profit, quite as much, if not
considerably more, than the Red Hots -
and the Indian Coolie Party There Is
no question OF annexation that may be
put aside as a scare" What all have to
look at is. are we going to keep in our
present condition or are we going to
allow little private likes or dislikes, or
mistaken notions of perfect Independence
(all countries are more or less dependent
on one another. and the King of Bavaria
darenf change button on his soldiers,
uniforms without permission of the all
overshadowing Prussia,) to stand IN the
way Of that prosperity We think that
most men. thinking over the matter calm
ly viii say certainly let Us put nothing

Bill to select committees. The resolution
was IL no proper sense censure OF the
Ministry. and the first person to speal
against IT was the Hon. c. r. Bishop. wnC
followed the irregular remarks of the
Minister OF Foreign Affairs upon the Ap
propriation Bill and other matters by som,
criticisms upon that bill. severely con
demning the unauthorized and eXtrava
giant expenditures.
During the debate the Ministers wer,
lavish in their condemnation Of then
predecessors and their praise of them
selves. They were evidently unwilling tJ
hold themselves responsible for their new
bill. but took shelter behind the bill Of the
late ministry. which never reached aseconC
reading or stage for discussion.
The Minister of Finance. with more OF
temper than discretion. made some remark:
which had no proper bearing Oh the ques
ton and simply amounted to self prals'
and occasional imperhnence to one Of the
honorable gentlemen present

Tn Minister Of Foreign Affairs stated
las, "Wednesday that ''the item Of s2OOoO
for arms is required 10 meet orders and
engagements made before we came INTO
office" and the Minister thereupon read a
dispatch from Vienna requesting funds to
pay for batteries
We can mqualifedly assert that the
late Ministry had no knowledge Of tins
transaction. or any intimation Of it. Mr..
Garter could not have made the purchase,
as be was not in the government, after
leaving the Kingdom, and the remainder
Of tbe Cabinet never had any idea Of such
a pnrchase. The new Ministers may as
well stop fencing in these matters, ana
put the responsibility where ii belongs.
The facts. as we understand thenl' are
that the King made no purchase oil pat
teries while in Europe, but that 1t was IN
timated to him that he would receive a
gift Of some artillery. demand for pay
ment was entirely unexpected TO HIM; lhe
transaction looks more like speculation
on the part OF persons III Vienna VINO
concluded that they could force purchase
on the Government. The Minister OF
Foreign Affairs should have been IN a po-
sition 70 make this explanation.
After reading the article upon military
ernenditures in the Ministerial organ, last
Monday. II appears as if the present
Ministry are the people who are going to
foster the military spirit, but they seem TO
be anxious to give a color TO Their pohcy
by dragging in anything that they "'s|

Iy view Of the lengthy correspondence
which we publish to-day it viii not be
necessary for rs to give expression to our
own views with regard to Mr. Green s
Letters
The Hawaiian gazette., 1882-06-07

Tn p. c. 4 having Sunday to think
over the matter has gone in heavy for the
military. Its motto for the future, will
urobably be, taken from the Grand
Duchessss'sSOh. 1 dote ON the military.
Much umbrage Is felt that .tora.gac~ should
dare to criticise the military expenditure.
Apparently it is only the Hawaiian born
who IS to have this privilege according to
the p. c. a.. and even if he has the right
be ought not to use 1t.
Now the Constitution OF this country,
thank heaven. doa allow the free discus
sion Of all questions in the press. and the
GAZETTE Is going tc use that constitutional
right fully. without fear or favor.
We regard the article published IN the
p. C. 4. on Monday if it Is seriously
meant. as thoroughly bad: as calculated
10 do considerable harm II tins shadows
/ forth a ministerial policy 1t Is still per
nicious; let rs hope that IT Is the work OF
some tyro hand
Ii certainly does talk good deal OF
nonsense, when it quotes the United States
an instance OF II tbltLAtlA NAAtNAa ~. y
up large military organization. Why
there are only 25,O0O regular soldiers to
52.OOO,OOO Of people The volunteer
forces are kept up by private effort largely.
A military force in these islands Is bosh.
II as the writer in the p. C.. i. suggests.
there is fear of interior trouble, good
aud efficient police force IS all that Is
necessary to put it down. Spend money
in that direction and good Will be done:
we would have plenty Of money spent for
this. but we condemn the expenditure OF
money for military as wasteful. and our
reasons for II have beer already given.
Hawaii's strength lies in her weakness.
II is dangerous for her to ape the strength
Of other powers.
In conclusion We would like the y. @ i.
TO point ont who are ''the English Chart
lists" and French Communists whom We
have in our midst We VIII chm1tably
hope that the p e. 4. did not know what
it was writing about.
