WASTING utf NoVEy 90 urr rforir
In biz answer To the committee Of thirteen
appointed by the citizens u Honolulu, MI
Gibson Is silent in regard 10 ih, charge
Let ouf readers remember
this is ono u the chief reasons why they should
he removed from their positions, and why
their management Of the government must be
condemned In their speeches before the
legislature they proclaimed "not dollar Of
the public money shall be spent without the
approval OF tho legislature And on another
intend to reduce the expenses Of government.
uNsKILLruL ADMINISTRATION OF thF GOV.
ERNMENT.
In our opinion this is the most incompetent
Ministry the King has yet had, because when
they were appointed Ministers on the goth Of
May, His Ex W. NJ. Gibson was appointed
President Of the Board Of Health, and those
whom he chose were appointed members Of
this Board According To the law the power
to appoint the members Of the Board Of Health
resides in the Pryy Council But Mr.. Gibson
after his fashion, illegally appointed the mem.
bcN OF the Board Of Health and then weeks
after begged the Prvy Council to appoint him
President. and the others members Of the Board
OF Health. In this action he led the King
aslray and his oath of office was violated.
PARTING WITH THE wAILuKu Crown LANDS
FOR NOTHING.
What we greatly object TO about this is that
the opinion of the Supreme Court was not
obtained on this important matter
This transfer of land was not done
properly but hastily by the Ministers, and by
caioling the representatives at private midday
lunch, parties in the houses of the Ministers,
and at public feasts. This bill VIZ
the work of the Ministers.
rLuNGiNG THE NATION INTO DEBT.
Let the people remember the Kings Min.
listers are the executive officers Of the govern.
ment. They were the authors OF the multi.
tudinous suicidal items of the appropriation
bill for the current biennial period; they passed
upon the appropriation bill and laid it before
the Legislature for their approval. Look at
the 500, 900 for special body OF police on the
other islands, Sac, 900 for cannon, the palace
that abSorbS no end of money, and other items
too numerous to mention. Who is response.
bic for all these appropriations The Ministers
and the representatives are responsible for
them only as they were led by these spend
thrift Ministers.
TAKING AWAY FROM THE JUDICIAL DEPARr-
MENr THE POWERS TO APPOINT (DIs-
rRIcT) JUDGES
We admire the Attorney General for stand.
ing alone in opposition to this bill.
NEpoTIsM.
The Statement, we make below is true; con.
slider its meaning All the representatives that
were fed by this cabinet, until their mouths
were perverted, went home with two or even
three fat billets apiece.
When Gibson was made Minister he imme-
diately appointed his son-in-law, Hayselden,
Secretary to the Board of Health, and raised
his salary from $500 to ST., 500 a year. This
is the annual salary of the government clerks
who sit from A. NJ. to 4 ?. NJ every day, and
some OF them receive less than this Hay
seden is going gaddng about here and there,
while other government employees who have
less wages than he are kept hard at work,
Look at the Superintendent Of Water Works
in Honolulu, the clerk Of the same, Mr.. Aud,
the district judges, the chiefs Of the police,
and some other government officers they
receive much less pay than this favori,e.
