CRIrICIsx or ROYALTY.

The tender protest Of the official journal
against personal criticism Of the king touches a
chord in many hearts. The king is in pecu-
liarly defenseless position. Giving his whole
time to reigning, he is dependent upon popu-
lar whim for his living; his daily hard.tack
and even his Sunday "biled shirt" are subject
to the political uncertainties Of the times. II
the king cannot be sued, neither can he, as
citizen, apply to the courts for redress against
adverse criticism, as Xeawe, John Chinaman
and Bill Nye may do with perfect freedom.
Limited in all directions, subject to the
vagaries Of topping, .hree.legged cabinet, he
is indeed entitled to our sincerest commisera-
tion. He may not, like the Car OF the
Mikado, dispose OF an inconvenient critic by
issuing an official nkaSe condemning him to
the knoui. to Siberia or to commi, hayika,l.
This is indeed too free country. We shall
never prosper until the laws shield one man
at least, possibly several, but one at any rate,
in doing just as he likes. A sovereign is not a
| sovereign II he is accountable to any man OF TO
any number Of men. This is the royal idea Of
kingship that has come down to US through
the centuries, that still reverberates through
the resounding halls Of time with undiminished
detonaiions. Let this be remembered that
the king is an unaccountab!e person, and We
are safe. 1Ac official journal deserves praise
for occasionally bringing this matter before the
public, but a, the same time !, must not be
entirely disappointed II the other newspapers
are less outspoken them itself upon the subject,
ios il will be remembered tina, these news,
papen have not the same inducement toward
distineuvely loyal utterances, as the Official
Journal has received. When this matter has
been made right, and all the public journals
treated with that impaniali,y to be expected
from fraternal government. then perhaps We
may look for unanimous and enthusiastic
approval Of his majesty in every particular.

The Honolulu Library and Reading Room
is an institution in which the town ought to be
interested. As town, il is evidently not SO
interested. The attendance ON Thursday even
ing was not what the friends Of the association
had right to expect. Neither was it what
the merits OF the entertainment deserved. OF
course those who went Thursday evening
could not know how good it was to be. But
all Of the town who read the papers knew on
Saturday morning that the benefit performance
was as excellent as the cause il benefited was
worthy. On Saturday evening, however, the
attendance was less than on the previous
Thursday evening. As performance, there
was little TO cavil at and much to applaud.
The ladies' and gentlemen who managed and
took part scored an artistic triumph. When
youth, beauty and brains go to work unde,
the direction Of skill, experience and rare good
taste they rarely make a failure. In the music
hall entertainment. they scored success that
everyone present acknowledged. lie would
be very unkind and most unreasonable
public censor who could wonder Il any OF al
those who took part in the benefit perform

last week should decline to take similar par
again. "Neya weary Of well doing" and
"Vinue is its own reward" are very good

In connection with this subject we have reI
ceved the following
EDITOR SATURDAY PREss-SW: 1t is now
well known to the public that the principal Of
Fort street school is to be dismissed from his
post, like other officials of late, not for incom-
petence or neglect of duty but simply to crafty
the personal spite and political malice of the
president of all boards and chairman of every
thing.
The welfare of pupils, the wishes of parents
have no weight, the school will be broken up,
the animosity of one individual towards another
is sufficient to accomplish an injury to the
whole community. 1t is this one man, who,
having brought contempt on his one-man gov
ernment, is drawing down dirision on the
crown.
l am not sure OF figures, but believe that
five or more years ago, one master, one assist
ant and perhaps thirty to forty pupils constitu
ted Fort Street School, there are now some
two hundred and odd pupils, principal who
does his work ably and consciously, an admira
bly, efficient second, and four ladies and every
thing going on satisfactorily to pupils, parents
and every one concerned but this one mar
who has wrecked the whole concern-the crea
tion il may be said-of the dismissed principal
believe am right in saying that neither
this one man, the president Of the board o
education, nor any one member of this Sc
called board has ever set his foot in Fort stree
School, or knows or has sought to know any
thing about the institution which the malic,
of the president and the constituencies in
capabiity and subserviency Of the members o
the board are now destroying.
| believe, too, that am right in thinking
that am not alone in feeling more than con
tempt for such a board, and that derision i
not the sufficient word for our feelings with re
gard to the action OF inaction Of the crown.
A FATHER.

Inc Advertiser claims to have called at

" there is no law to prevent one from annoy.
ing his neighbos by the sickcning odors OF
burning rubbish. In regard to the provisions
Of law, our contemporary is singularly at sea.
A very comprehensive law exists in our penal
code for the punishment Of any person who
commits common nuisance" Under this
law prosecution would hold good against any
one who should burn rubbish so as 10 offend

wherein the health Of persons was endangered,
as where people were compelled to inhale
"the highly scented, acrid smoke from piles ol

causing downright sickness" Section ! ol
chapter 60 Of the penal code reads thus: "Ths

Of the public personal safety OF health, OF do

But in section Of the same chapter is wise
provision against the possibility Of trivial ac
tions being brought ior imaginary grievance,
by super'sensi,ive persons. Il is stated that
"Where only few persons, OF many who arc
