pleasing to read of tho confidence reposed by
Kaakaua in this same upright Ministry; it is
pleasing to read that before tho adjournment
of the Legislature the utmost harmony pre-
vailed between that body, the Cabinet and the
King; it is pleasing to read that the people of
the whole country are en- rapport with tho
King and Ministry. 1t is also pleasing to read
in California and Eastern papers dispatches
resembling in style and diction the honeyeG

THAT CORONATION.

OF all the wasteful ex.ravagances advocated
by the present Ministry, not the smallest is
the project for the coronation ceremony. Ameng
the other ways and means contrived for squan-
dering funds in connection with this needless
piece Of ostentation, none is moro unjusiifable,
not TO say illegal and improper. than the pro-
jecr Of converting the Legislature in an extra
session. What legislation is needful that the

their objections against senseless extravn-
gance, that an army is there to back it7
Neither explanation will either satisfy or quell
the objection, and the calls for reform must
grow more earnest and sustained until il shall
have been accomplished. A people may long
remain passive while the Government funds
are misappropriated, provided that the ex-
penditure is not in excess Of tho revenues
but when extra taxation and national debt arc
made necessary for the sustenance of foolery
which is Unsuitable, il will DO quite another
affair The blarney OF unprincipled Ministers
may hoodwink community for a time but
they, like others, may overrate the capacity
of the public stomach for the reception Of the
kind Of menu they alone arc able to supply
There is no intelligent native or foreigner, but
! knows that the revenues of this country
are more than sufficient TO pay the current
expenses Of any well ordered Government !;
that it is only willful extravaganza in unne-
cessary and unworthy objects that can make
tho negotiation of loans a necessity such also
know that loans mean debt, and debt. extra
taxation and they have every reason to ex-
pect that foolcry Of one kind or another will
become rampant in proportion to the means
supplied. Their Legislators have, one after
another, succumbed to influence beyond their
control, until ga prostitute majority hold the
bolt of parliamentary power" and use that
power to fatten themselves and their patrons
at the expense of their deluded constituents
And now, are the people to be taxed again

TO OUR FRIENDS.

This issue closes the present volume and
the infantie period of the SATURDAY Press.
The next number will be printed in a new
home, or publication office, Of it's own and it
will appear in an entirely new dress, and ex-
poets TO be able to win for itself fresh laurels
by courage. enterprise and worth. The Press
will maintain the same outspoken, independ
sui ...;;...ressive course that has characterized
it's utterances ever since its commencement,
and will continue its watchfuluess for the best
interests of these islands, politically, COM
nercially, and socially, and to this end will
ende0vor to present each week the fullest in
formation on all subjects of public interest
With this aim in view we pledge ourselves to
labor assiduously, and confidently look to the
people of these islands, and the fronds O
Haw abroad, for their support Of this out
spoken exponent in behalf Of their interests.

The above figures will be interesting to such
as are disposed to reason by comparisons; and
will doubtless surprise not few who have
been comfortable in the lelief that things were
not 80 bad US represented. 1t will be instruc-
tive to such as are capable of receiving ideas,
to note what might DO called the equilibrium
preserved by Royal needs during the reigns
of Kamehamehas ". and ", aud the singular
| exaltations, rs contraslcd herewith, that have
characterized the same under the reign of
Kalakaua. Things have lalterly got so utterly
beyond logic, policy aud precedent, as to make
it an impossibility TO even guess what mey
como next
Taking the time ne included in tho tables,
the average biennial expenses incident TO the
support of royalty during the three preceding
regns, ammonntcd to little over $40, 900. while
the average for that Of the existing reign, in
elusive of tie appropriations last passed,
amounts TO somewhat over $4,000: bni this
is exclusive of the prospective expenditure for
the extra session of the Legislature, purposed
to be convened in honor Of the coronation, sand
other considerable items which have been in
advertanily omitted in the preparation of the
tables. The income from the Crown lands
has also been purposely omitted.
In the Legislature of $50, when Hon. s. G..
Wilder WAS Then Minister OF the Interior, 10
reply to a question from q Member Of the
House. lac stated that the $4,000 then asked
would DO amply sufficient TO complete the New
Palace. II is to be supposed that he had some
knowledge Of what he was saying. But since
tlon how ever, it has been deemed expedient,
in addition thereto, to expcnd tie sum Of
s2is,5o9 OF, an aggregate Of sums transferred,
in most instances. from appropriations for neces.
sayy objects, comprising public improvements,
repairs OF public works, water supply, and
srsa NE public heath. Nav, tho character OF
our Legislature, aud by what motives they
are governed, may be seen from the fact, that
while u great hue and cry WAS being made
against the faithlessuess Of Ministers in trans
ferring certain appropriations, amounting in
all TO less than 500, oto, TO purposes Of imni-
grafton, not word was heard Of tho $685.

these, in amount and porient, are the APP
