IT is very important at the present crisis
that the most perfect respect should be
paid to the law. Flooded as the country
is going to be with mass of males, mere
laborers, who will care nothing for the
political institutions. nothing for the pre-
servation Of good order, it is paramount
that every legal tribunal should be thor
oughly respected. This can only be gained
by appointing men even to the subordinate
Judgeships who Will be thoroughly re
spected. and who viii prove themselves,
when emergencies arise, equal to the ocea-
sion and Will not allow one title of re
fspect due their Office to be neglected. That
this is not the case Is well known; IN many
of our District Courts, the men who pre-
side over them allow laxity of demeanor
which should not be permitted for an in
stant. This of course, is largely due to
the utterly incapable men who have been
appointed Lately we hear that there was
an open defiance Of a Court and that a
number Of prisoners marched off from the
Judges presence.
We have a very serious problem before
us: II Is how to rule an unenfranchised
majority, by minority which has not even
drilled and armed physical force behind
it. because, for all practical purposes the
Hawaiian army Of two or three score boys
Is worthless. We can only maintain order
by the very strictest observance of law,
and by seeing that the very greatest defer
ence is paid to those who dispense the
law 1t Is ruling by moral force that has
to be carried on, and that can only be
done by men who command respect
The Government organ complains and
the Premier in private complains, that the
opposition propose nothing to him; that
he. poor angel, Is merely the subject Of
detraction OF course until the opposi-
ton were informed through these two
channels that the Premier was suffering
from paucity Of ideas they merely con
fined themselves to criticism; it was always
supposed that that teeming Eastern In
tellect was going to supply the country
with ideas" We offer, however, in all
humility the suggestion that the Premier
and his colleagues should grapple with
the question OF the lower Judiciary and
the police. and we shall be only too happy
to cooperate with them in carrying out or
planning out a system, which will give that
safety TO the people dwelling here. that
they have a right to demand but which,
at the present moment, there seems every
reasonable prospect Of their not having.

Az Act of the year 1872 authorized the
Minister Of Finance to issue Government
Bonds to the extent Of two hundred and
fifty Thousand dollars. bearing interest not
exceeding nine per cent. per annum, pay
able seni-annually. such bonds to be pay
able at such time as should be specified
upon their face. but not later than twenty
years from the day Of their date.
II is currently reported that the pres
ent Cabinet have raised money either by the
issue, or reissue of bonds under the above
mentioned Act Of 1872. Fit be true, as we
think it Is. that the late Cabinet Of Mr..
W L. Green deemed farther issue of
bonds Of 1872 as unauthorized. one would
suppose that the least that could be done
Of not already done) by the present ad-
ministration would be to submit a case to
the Supreme Court in order to get judi
cial Interpretation Of the law upon the
subject No appropriation having been
definitely made by the Legislature Of
1882 for payment of interest on such new
bonds, the question Of their being duly
authorized by law can hardly fail to arise
in some form.

THE arrival Of large numbers Of Chinese
direct from China, reminds rs of the mum
bers who came in the winter OF lSS0-S1,
and the siege of smallpox which followed.
This should impress all with the impor-
tance Of vaccination. However free Chi
nese ports may be Of smallpox, and what
ever precautions may be taken here to
prevent the possibility of its introduction,
wisdom and experience dictate that vac
cination should be faithfully performed.
If the Board of Health has not caused the
annual vaccination TO be made, which Is
required by statute, 1t should lose no time
in having It Thoroughly done.
We were taken by surprise two years
ago, and there may have been some excuse
for the Board for not being prepared for
the emergency. With the bitter experience
then acquired similar neglect now will be
inexcusable.
Three hundred graves over on the quar-
antine grounds tell of the slaughter of two
years ago. and with mute appeal call for
the protection Of the living. There are
some circumstances now. which may help
to save us from disaster; the comparative
freedom of the Chinese ports from the dis
ease; the stringent ordinances adopted in
1881. still in force; the ample quarantine
accommodations provided at that time,
now ready for occupation; and the prece-
dents established forming guide for ae-
ton. all are in our favor. and lessen the
danger
Blunders or negligence now in regard
to any point learned by past experience
viii be outrageous.

IS the case of Rex Robert Glieye
the intermediary Court has reversed the
decision of the Police Justice, and has
pronounced Mr. Grieve not guilty. The
circumstances Of this case are quite fresh in
the minds Of the community. The owners
Of this paper were inveigled into printing
an obscene document, the Programme Of
the Kings Coronation Hulas or dances
They had no knowledge Of the contents
and Judging from the source from which IT
came naturally printed ii in all good faith
These facts were well known to the public
here, and Mr. Grieve's reputation suffered
not the slightest stain: this decision Of
Judge McCully. however. is eminently
satisfactory. and not even a rancOrous
enemy of Mr. Grieve can reflect in any
manner upon him. his reputation Is as
high, if not higher, than ever it has been.
1t is now thoroughly established, first.
that the document in question which was
circulated in the Palace grounds during
the Coronation festivities was an obscene
document, and secondly. that Mr.. GTieve
had no knowledge of its contents and was
not TO blame for printing unwittingly n
programme which was brought TO himsby
an officer of the Government. which had
the imprint Of the Royal Arms upon it,
and which cuglt. in all human probability.
to have been clean and not a filthy docu-
ment Whose the blame is in this affair
it is pretty plain to see: as far as the
HAWAIIAN GAZETTE Is concerned its skirts
are clean. let others wash heir garments
as best they may.

THE borrowing Of money by the sup
posed authorization OF an obsolete statute
reminds one very much of the tactics of
Empson and Dudley. those villainous in
struments of Henry VII OF England 1t
was only an oversight that the statute was
not repealed and the men now in Office
know that as well as the opposition. 1t is
nonstrous thing when they have per
mission 10 borrow an enormous sum by
the act Of 1882 90 fall back upon an obso-
lete law which by allowing higher rate
Of interest induces people to loan money
which they will not loan at the ordinary
rates.
As to the amount borrowed. we believe
it is not large, merely sum to tide over
the expenses of the hour. rumor says
$4,000. but we believe that $4,000 or
thereabouts is much nearer the truth. 1t is
interesting 10 compare the expressions Of
Mr.. Gibson's finance report of 1878 with
his reckless method Of finance in 1888, the
committee, Of which that gentleman
was chairman. said they should mo doubt
be in accordance with the spirit of pa
triotic Assembly, when they recommended
increased economy of administration and
reduction Of all national burthens" In
1888 Mr.. Gibson shews that keen appreci-
alton for Increased economy of admins
tration" by borrowing money at 8 per
cent. when he ought to have borrowed
at per cent Surely this is rather a
heavy premium to pay for keeping man
in Office who is at variance with the whole
spirit of the country

As the yield reported by the Bureau was
nearly 200, 1000 900 bushels less for 1879 than
the census return and tho acreage 100000
acres less, the census figures are given for that
year. The quantity left for home consumption
during the last four years has averaged
1,5O1 100000 bushels yearly, so that unless
the foreign demand should be larger than it has
been since 1881, there would remain a surplus
from the present crop in addition to the consld-
cradle surplus still remaining from the crop OF
1882. 1t may be said, also, that the wide differ
encc between Census and Bureau returns for
1879 has led to doubt whether the Bureau
reports as to this crop are not apt to fall below
the truth. But in any case there is Il cheering
prospect of cheap meat for the poor.
