STILL we have no sign from the Govern
ment Of any explanation relative to the
Financial statement published May 5th.
The longer this explanation Is delayed the
more serious does il become for the Cabi-
net The financial abilities OF His Ex
John NJ kapens being at fault, surely the
versatile Premier ought to step into the
breach. His Ex Walter Murray Gibson
plays the part Of Figaro or the Hawaiian
Factotum right well. be Is here, there and
everywhere, he works 50 hard for the poor
Hawaiian. and Is 50 wearied when be re
turns to his home; but then be always has
the satisfaction of having done Tin his
opinionl some good for the Hawaiian race:
that Is thanks enough for him: he feels
that be is Ike Titus. Charlemagne. Alfred
the Great Louis XIV Washington and
heaven knows how many great men rolled
into one. Great and Good man. why does
he not step forward and help his hard
pressed colleague. He ought to have some
knowledge Of these accounts which have
been 50 much criticised We have eredi-
bic information that they were In his hands
a JortRjgN before they were published.
Why did be not examine them carefully.
II was his duty 10 do so: why even did he
not employ his son in-lsw. his alter eqo. who
occupies a seat in the Office Of the Foreign
Department. Surely if the Premier under
stands no more Of accounts than he does
Of diplomacy. the son-in-lsw at least IN
derstands the former and his assistance.
during that fortnight should have been
called IN to see what sort Of statement
II was. However, there the fact lies. that
over the signatureof the Minister of Fl
nance. after the inspection of the Premier
Of the Kingdom. document has been put
before the public which Is worthless. and
Is even more than worthless. for It Is mis-
leading. =.
Our community Is curious. There Is
perhaps no place where slight things move
and grave things have 50 little effect ND
on people as here This. Of course. Is eli
matte; though men do not change their
nature with their skies as the Latin poet
puts If, somewhere about 1900 years ago.
still they slightly modify their natures.
In any Of the European countries govern
ed by Constitutional Monarchy. no Min
istry would have dansd to put forth such
statement rs has been given to the public
here Things are small here, and there
lore We do not take 50 much notice Of
them but deficit of $4,000 in the Ha- |
Nalian Islands Is about one-twentyffth Of |
the national income and would be eouiYs |
lent to Sl5.O00,O00 astray IN the Treasury of |

TIKI more the public hears Of the license
granted to Nowlein. the worse il appears
The last statement We have on the matter
Is that Nuwlein himself was by no means
desirous az It. 50 be told one OF orr cler-
Cymen. but that parties IN higher position
than himself urged him and IN measure
forced him into the business There Is no
doubt that Il is a downright scandal TO put
a Tquor saloon opposite the Bethel or any
Church In England. at the present day
such q thing could not he done not only
near an Episcopal Church. but also near

Il can not only he unpleasant. but il must

Bethel Church 10 drive up there for after
noon and evening meetings and 20 have a
liquor shop with It's eoncomitants as a nesr

are by no means straight laced. there are
plenty OF people who dislike the so-called

hy tins action Of the Government DR. Da-
mon has had q real insult put upon him.
and il Is outrageous that man who has
done SO much Tor the Hawaiian people as
he has. who has also devoted himself tc
the welfare Of a very large percentage Of
the INDECENT here. without reference to
creed or belief. should not have had more
courtesy shown him as man. let alone his
cliims as minister Of the Gospel and a
strlct Temperance man. OF course. be has
the sympathy Of every right thinking man.
no matter how broad or how narrow his
views may be Mr. Preston deserves the
thanks u the whole community for the
course he took in the matter: II Is well
known that be i not straight laced IN such
things. and therefore II comes with the
greater strength from him. As long as

ANUTHER interesting little method in
winch Government matters are managed.
j. worth investigating. The new kerosene
warehouse requires stone for the flooring
&c This has been supplied from d quarry
IN which certain legal tender gentle
man and Minister have considerable In
iuence. Now We should like to know the
price that has been paid per load for the
stones: we are informed S175. and the
loads, judged by those experienced in such
matters. did not contain anything ike a
ton: tins stone moreover Is what has been
refused by cute business man when
working for private parties We have
heard OF stone being supplied for road
making az 81 q load. with the guarantee
that each load should contain from p to
30 cubic feet Stone was also supplied
for the Marine Railway at s. cents a
ton Why so much higher a price
should be paid for the stone now at
the kerosene warehouse Is more than the
uninItated can well understand Another
matter IN connection with tins stone which
Is worth calling attention to Is that the
contract was .-lven without asking for
tenders. II. a. we have every reason to
think. this exorhitantly high prlce Of Sl75
a load has been paid. there seems good rea-
son TO suppose that It was not for nothing
that tenders were not asked for and the
contract shufied through II a sort Of hole
and corner manner.
The attention Of the public has lately
been directed to several matters connected
with the public works Of this country:
there are several matters IN Kauai which
have been complained Of: notably the
kapsis bridge; the Palace Wall. which has
never been explained yet, and the stand
my complaint of cur master mechanics
that government work goes by favor and
not by fair competition.

IL answer 10 the enquiry as 10 who was
Dugald Mactavish. whose name figures IN
der the head Of sUndry expenditures which
have been drawn upon without author
lzatlon Of the Legislature. we have to say
he was q worthy citizen. connected many
years ago with Hudson's Bay Company.
Mactavish acquired property on the plains.
duly registered It and then being full Of
years died No one claimed his lands. and
the property was sold. We believe. under
the Wilder administration a sharp cit
zen Of modern days. looked up the heirs Of
Dugald.and being duly authorized brought
q claim against the government for having
sold what did not belong to them After
some controversy the matter was settled
Tor q cash payment Of 5000 So far 50
good But why. when the thing called a
financial statement was put before the
public. was no explanation vouChsafed as to
the reasons Of the expenditure there was
nothing wrong about II. the Cabinet could
do nothing else. and IN fact they GOT of
mighty cheap: but why leave the public
m Ignorance OF the transactions This
KIND Of thing Is OF piece with all now
done 10y the Cne man power Cabinet: that
precious body premises that everything It
does i night and does not deign to explain
anything night OF wrong. A similar case
Is the . appropriation by Privy Council =
OF SSsS6l94 This Is the one third expense
Of sending the g r. Bfslep IN search Of
the SFT- Why not make foot note to
that effect why treat the public like chill.
dren! II items IN 8 private account are
not clearly stated the person who receives
tie hlll naturally complains: how rnuch
more necessary Is It Tor the servants Of
the public to state clearly what are the
reasons for items Of expenditure in public
accounts The fact is that the present
set of servants which the public has, are
set Of ill-trained characterless menials and
he sooner they are got nd of the better
-uT the public welfare: they are constantly
long wrong and even when by chance they

FKEEpoN Of Thought Is an inalienable
and unasSs liable night of human nature.
Freedom o { expression i equally inahen-
able. unavoidable, but yet in some states.
even IN tins last quarter Of the Ninfeenfh
Century. not unsssailshle.
As society advanced from spoken to
written, and thence to printed possibilities
" expression. 50 society advanced from
psTna'1sm 10 civilization and thence to
cultivated intellectuahsn.
IL Is perfectly plain shen. that be who
nlnderS the free expression Of opinion. Is
a reactlonary barbarian. 1t i 50 universal
" admitted now a-days that free discus
sion. that Is. without fear OF possibility of
persecution. Is the very breath Of
Civilization, and they who imagine that by
petty persecution they can suppress either
thought writing. or printing can only be
classed with Mrs Psrtlngton who imagined
that with her mop she could thrust back
the waves of the Atlantic.
But 10 come to more serious argument.
nearly two hundred and fifty years ago.
no less man than John Milton wrote the
following weighty words As well almost
AL man. As dll good book: who kills
man Kills reasonable creature. Gods
image; but he who DESTROYS q rood hook
kllls reason itself. kills the image Of God
as i were IN the eve
In the same essav on the Liberty Of the
tress, Milton says Lsariz and Commons
OF England consider what nation II i
whereof re are, and VIII ereof We xrp the
eJoyernors; nation not slow and drIl
but Of . quick ingenio rs and rierrinr-
spirit These words are. II Is to be boueT
applicable to-day and in this Kingdom
unless we are two centuries and more b.
hind our forefaihers.
About a century later. slunius wrose-
Ahe ministry. II seems. Ire lal.oring TO
draw nne 0f distinction betw cen the
honor q the crown and th rights of the
