Work :0r the Legislature.

There is perhaps a vast amount q
work before the General Assembly o
our S'atc-more than can possibly be
accomplished during the present SEES.
sion If the members should all adj
dress themselves assiluously to the
work 10 be performed. which they are
not doing-fu ut the four most inpor-
tant measures that demand their at
itntIon are, IN our opinion. the adjust
ucnt Of tie ST. debt
u tee proposition Of the bond holders
-'bt passage Of comprehensive,
effective and just revenue bill, to Sc
cure a uniform and equitable assess.
nent of property and the speedy and
sure collection Of taxes. The city char
ter Of New Orleans and the charter
ing of the New Orleans and Shrevc.
port Lottery Companies.
OF the first we unhcsitalingly say
that we approve Of the acceptance of
the proposition Of the bondholderS.
or reasons clearly set forth IN the
Governors message and in the press
of the State, and Which it is therefore
needless for ns to reproduce.
The second measure we are willing
to leave to those who Lave made the
subject special study and are better
qualified to frame such bill as is calcu.
lated 10 NEE; all the requirements of
our necessities and cause all citizens
TO bear the burtbens of government
nqually and justly.
Of the third. we are decidedly in
a'or of the citizens charter. bocause
we lind it supported by the best ele. ,
nent of the population of the CITY and ,
opposed by the hoodlums-we do net
nean that all who oppose i, are hood. i
ums, however by any means. That
which is deemed hes. for the better i
lass Of the citizens of anv community :,
hould always be regarded with favor
y those who are not personally IA
niliar with the conditions and circum. j,
iances by which such citizens are /,
Some nav object to it be- c
ause it provides COR The appointment, e
instead Of election of the executive Il
Ulcers. but we do not regard this as I
S Objectionable feature. Too many e
ficers are elected for the good of the d

itizens prefer to surrender a portion
f their elective Franchise iuio the :,
ands Of the Governor they should be
ermitted to do so. New Orleans
ceds to be released from the control r

In another place we state our rea- =
ons. fs9r favoliDg the cher,ering CT the !,

osed to lotteries and all other species
gambling but as long as it is al :,
wed in the State we are opposed to .

HE Lottery Charter Question.


Se'''ea before this article appears i
print, either by the rejection or AIDE,
lion of the charter of the New @,
leans and Shreveport Lottery Com
pany, which was referred to the con,
mit'ee on corporations last week: bu
we will express our views on the oue.
ton. which may be accepted by IL,
General Assembly either as an en-
dorsment or protest, a. the case ma,
be-accordin2 to the disposition thai
body may make Of it.
AS compromise, in order to IRE
vent the resembling of its charter by
the constitutional convention of 1879
the Louisiana State Lottery Compa.
ny surrendered its monopoly priv.
leges. and succeeded in having its
charter extended or pcrpc,ua,ed to
1888 and in accordance with this
compromise the charlering Of other
companies was provided for, upon the
condition that each company charter
cd should pay annually for a license to
sell tickets in the State $50. coo 10 the
public school fund and $40, 600 to the
Shreveport charity hospital.
Under the circumstances and in
view of the fact that we do not believe
The chartering of other companies
VIII encourage the passion for this
species Of gambling any more tLan i,
Is already encouraged nor increase The
sale OF tickets to any great extent. if
al all. we can soc no r.nson why tho
new c'mpanies should not DC granted
charters. Indeed, if we were a
member of the General Assembly we
would consider it patriotic duty to
votc for every lottery charter applied
Tor, with satisfactory guarantee ,ba,
he company would pay the $4,000,
as refusal 10 do SO is to deprive the
public schools of the State of $50 900
annually for every charter refused,
md charity hospital $40, 900 annual
Y.
The Howard lottery company can
lot set up any claim to the monopoly
n opposition TO the cbartering of other
companies therefore it has donned the
ODE of morality, andhas its lobbyists
md legislative hackers arguing against
he cbar'ering of the new companies
'pon the grounds Of Immortality.
This dodge is too transparent to de-
Give any one and We warn our legis-
ntors that every one who opposes the
hartering of another company on this
r any other plea, will expose himself ,
0 the suspicion Of being under the in
uence of the Howard lottery. which s
is a well known fact does not scru. |
lie TO corrupt every one it can cor.
npt in every department of state. {

SATURDAY, MAY &c, 1882,
HACK DRIVERS,

One of the matters of local regpla-
tion that requires the attention OF
the authorities, is that of the man,
agcment of vehicles for hire, cona'
monly.known as express wagons. "
There are at the present time. l75
of these licensed in Honolulu, and
while by law their harness equip
ment, sc, is under police super.
vision, and the rates of charges and
stands are regulated by the Minister
of the Interior, there is absolutely
no qualification required OF those
who are to drive them. And. So we
see frequently ill-broken and other.
wise unfit horses in charge OF mere
boys and native men Of no cNpcri-
ence, while the ir,cpressibls China
man, who assumes to "sabbee ~
everything that has money in It, is
extensively taking up the occupa-
ton of hack driver. If there is
any one thing more than another
that we should hesitate about doing,
it would be the trusting ourself in a
hack driven through some of our
narrow. crowded streets by q China
man. There are doubtless skillful
and careful drivers among. the hack
men of this city, but there are a
good many con the contrary, quite
REVERSE" as Mrs. Camp would say.
This is one of those things that, if
we had a city government, it would
be its duty to attend to-the examin-
alton and licensing of drivers as we'll
as of vehicles. Is it too much to
expect, that the Honolulu delega-
ton in the Assembly will spare
enough of their time from the con-
sideration of the Ten Million Loan
and Opium and Liquor Bills, to de-
vote little attention to the subject
of hack drivers ?
