Propagation Of the Legislative
Assembly Of 1882.

On Monday last the Hawaiian Parlia-
ment was prorogued by His Majesty in per-
SON.. Unfortunately the weather was eX-
ceedingly unpropitious, it having rained
the whole of the previous night, and con-
tinued to pour dow at the hour of proro-
CATION.
Shortly before noon, the troops, headed
by the Band marched from the Barracks to
Aliiolani Hale, where they were drawn up
on either side of the entrance, the Band
being placed Immediately in front of the
main entrance to the Hall.
Precisely at II o'clock, Ills Majesty, in a
covered barouche, headed by a mounted
guard and accompanied by His Staff Off
GERS, entered the Government grounds, n
royal salute being fired at the time from the
battery, the troops presented arms, and the
Band played the National Anthem. Pass
ing through the Interior Office, His Maj
esty entered the Legislative Hall, accom-
panied by His Chamberlain Hon. c.. H. Judd,
Chancellor, Hon. a. +. Judd, His Excellency
w. NJ. Gibson, Minister of Foreign Affairs,
His Excellency Simon X. Kaai, Minister of
the Interior, His Excellency J.. f. Bush,
Minister of Finance and His Excellency

THE Act to regulate the licensing of
public hack-drivers is one of some little
importance to this town. Heretofore the
drivers of our expresses have not been
obliged to take out a licepse-it was the
vehicle and not the driver that was licensed.
In the case of misconduct on the part of
the owner of a licensed vehicle, or his SER
want employed to drive it, the Minister of
the Interior could evoke the license, but
no other penalty could be inflicted for
offences against the regulations. The re-
voking of n license for a vehicle proved in
most cases to be no penalty at all, as the
express quickly changed hands, or was
made to appear to do so, and the new owner
could get a fresh license at once. Under
the new law drivers must obtain a license,
and will now be amenable to penalties for
o~vercharges and other breaches of the regu-
~Iations. We have, during the past twelve
months, had numerous complaints made to
us of Overcharges and of insolence when
more than the proper fare was refused.
Any one subjected to this sort of thing will
in future nave a fair remedy available.

the King are of a character to accomplish
that end. All the many important Bills
introduced by the Government were pre-
pared with much care and ave evidence,
not only of skillful craftsmanship. but OF
much thought and no little experience of
affairs on the part of those who drafted
them. In the committees to which they
were referred they also received much at
tention. 1t would be too much to hope
hat they will be found perfect. To what
known legislation can such an epithet be
justly given? But as they stand now as Acts
of the Assembly they form a mass of legis-
lation of which no parliament need to be
ashamed. They meet many urgent needs
of the times and We feel no doubt that even
those parts of them to which a minority in
the community have declared themselves
opposed, will. by their results, prove even
to these, their opponents, that they are wise
and Salutary measures.
1t remains now with Ministers to show
that they are as able in administration as
they have proved themselves t. be in de-
vising measures for the country's good.
They have a great opportunity befo re them
and if they use it so as to conserve and
further the interests of all classes of the
community each of them will earn for him
self the statesman's best reward-plenty of
abuse, 4 good conscience and a name to be
remembered forever.

Much curiosity appears to have existed
both in the House and outside about the
figures contained III the documents con-
nected with the introduction of Portuguese
immigrants by the SIS. Monarch which
were produced to the Assembly on Friday,
copies of which were given In our last issue.
They show that Messrs. HOffnung and Co.
charged the Government $50, $50 for secur-
ing and sending to Honolulu 434 adults and
337 children by the Monarch. In addition
TO this, the Government has To pay S4S6
equal to Sill per head of the adult pas
Sengers) for stamps on the agreements they
entered into, and S1,3l7.1l for advances
made to the immigrants. They show also
hat the conveyance and provisioning these
immigrants would have cost the Govern
ment S2S, 622.6O (less the proceeds of sale
here of fittings and surplus stores) had they
undertaken that work themselves. Setting
aside any question of reduced cost through
sale of fittings and surplus stores, we have
here the sum of $751; 27. 10 paid to HOffnung
and Co. for their services in collecting the
immigrants and experimenting the bust
ness of shipping them. Dividing this by
the whole number of immigrants over IA
years of age we get S72.S7 per head as the
fee paid for these services. In a letter from
MeSsrS. Hoffnung and Co. to some one here,
which was recently made public hat, firm
take much credit to themselves for not
throwing overheard the Hawaiian Govern
ment when the representatives of some
other country offered them $50 a head for
collecting immigrants, and stated that this
was a good deal more than they received
from our Government.
The lesson to be learnt from these figures
is that the system of placing Government
contracts with favored individuals instead
of putting them on the open market for
tender is a bad one. 1t is curious that any
one should need to learn such a lesson at this
day, even here. But this is the way that
seemed to suit the late Ministry. This is
not the only matter which has come under
the notice of the Assembly during the pre-
sent session in which the prOpriety of
letting all public work by tender has been
demonstrated In many countries, amongst
which the British colonies to the south of
us may be quoted as suitable examples, the
system IS made compulsory by law not
only on the Government but on all public
bodies, such as Municipal Councils, Road
Boards, School Boards, ETC., etc. We shall
have to adopt similar safeguards here.
