CONCERNING APOLOGIES.

q. advertiser.
1t is quite true that the .4dUertiser
has never apologized for Mr.. Gibson.
On the contrary it has steadily
upheld Mr.. Gibson as man for
whom no apology was needed. 1t
is only last week that it stated Mr..
Gibson was "an honest, energetic
and capable public official" A
public servant who combines all these
qualities certainly needs no apology.
We may add that q public journal
capable of giving such an endorse
ment to man with Mr.. Gibson S
record, has passed beyend the stage
where any apology would he of the
slightest use.

OAHU JAIL.

The condition of the Prison is
most creditable to Marshal Parke
and his assistants. Nothing could
be more cleanly than the cells and
corridors, and every part Of the
establishment is in perfect order"
p. G. Adveniser, July I'd, 1884.
In reference to the same subject,
the majority Report of the Legisla-
tive Committee of Thirteen"
says: ''The accommodations are
insufficient, the crowded condition
of the Prison making it necessary
often to place 3 prisoners in cell"
(The cells are Z feet long and A feet
wide.
"Therc is no suitable place for
the occupants to take their meals;
the water-closet ar
rangements are inadequate and in a
filthy condition, and located in such
proximity to the eating place as to
be most Objectionable" This is
the testimony of Governor Dominis,
the Attorney-General paul Neu-
mann), Hons. w. o. Smith, j. Kaae,
5. b. Dole, j. Kaunamano, Cecil
Brown and j. Nawahi; and Doctor
Brodie, the attending physician,

NOT GUILTY.
If He Enters a Plea of

If such law as this were to be
passed by the Legislature, the COM
munity would rise as one man in
resistance to such preposterous
and outrageous violation of decency
and common sense; for it is a mat
ter of demonstration and not of
argument, that if a criminal can
avoid punishment by simply enter
ing plea Of not guilty, he will do
so, and justice be defeated. And
get this is precisely aOhdt is being
done IN the Legislature! The Min
istry have robbed this country Of
her credit and of her good name;
they have robbed the people Of their
right of representation, by publicly
seducing their Representatives with
office bestowed in exchange for
votes; they have robbed the Treas
ury or puDllc FUNDS, Dy drawing
money therefrom, not only without
sanction of law, but in violation of
the direct command Of laws so plain
that the English language cannot
speak palmer; and yet they have
been brought to trial, before the
only tribunal competent to take
cognizance of their crime, the Legis-
lature, and by entering their four
separate pleas of "not guilty." they
have defeated justice and made q
conviction impossible. But for the
four votes of the four Ministers,
the vote of want of confidence
would have passed last Saturday.

SHOULD THE MINISTERS VOTE UPON
A QUESTION OF WANT OF CON-
FlDENCE IN THEMSELVES?

Unhesitatingly the common sense
of every one answers, No? The pro-
position is exactly parallel, of allow
ing a man charged with crime to sit
upon the jury which is to decide
upon his guilt or innocence. 1t is
claimed that the Ministers do not
possess the confidence of the coun-
try, and the constitutional method
of deciding this question is by vote
of the Assembly; now if majority
of the Representatives and Mobiles
vote against the Ministry, and the
Ministers by their own votes, nullify
the expression of the feeling of the
country, there can be no doubt that
the expression of the will of the peo-
pie has been defeated.
The answer to the question is
then without doubt, that the Minis
ters OuQM not 10 cote, and the rules
of our Legislature should be so
changed as to correspond with com
mon sense, and to execute and not
defeat the popular will

THE LEGISLATUR
TUESDAY, July 1.-Continueed.

TUESDAY, July Continued.
Mr.. G. Brown, IN support of his
resolution said that by Section 32 of
the law relating to taxes, they could
not be members of the Legislature
and Tax Assessors at the same time.
They should resign either one or the
other. If they had any self respect,
they would never have taken the
Office, nor would the Ministers have
conferred office upon them. 1t looks
as if the Ministers were trying to buy
their votes.
Mr.. w. o. Smith, said, this is not
a new thing, it never has done any
good and never will. 1t is highly
improper they should be appointed
assessors. The Tax Assessor by
Authority notice in the p. G. Id
vertiser says: "All returns must be
made to the Assessor not later than
July 81 or no appeals can by law be
granted"
If assessments are not made in
July people may refuse to pay their
taxes. The matter of taxation is q
very important one. If we are going
to lose money we had better look
out.
Mr.. Kaulukou moved the resolu-
tion be indefinitely postponed, and
also the previous question.
Mr.. Dole replied for Mr.. c. Brown
the introducer of the resolution as
follows: 1t is plainly seen that there
is friction here, one man has to
perform two duties at the same time.
The Hon. member for South Kona is
Tax Assessor for North Kohala. He
simply represents nine members of
this House who are in the same fix.
Are the tax payers of North Kohala
to come to Honolulu to make their
statements to him? 1t would cost
them great deal to come here. 1t
is an imposition. 1t looks as if a
large amount of taxes would be lost
to the country. No man can be in
two places at the same time. This
action of appointing assessors from
among members of this House, is
consistent with the actions of this
Ministry for the past two years. The
resolution is thoroughly full one
and business one. 1t is on behalf
The Daily bulletin. [volume] (Honolulu [Hawaii]) 1882-1895, 1884-07-02

needs all the income that can be
made available, but taxes will not
and can not be equitably assessed
and properly collected by ignorant
and inefficient men.
The Auditor General in his report
says; "Our assessments have not
been made with that care and intel
ligence that our revenue system de-
mands. We have every reason to
believe that property has steadily
advanced in value since 1876; our
exports show steady gain; the va
ration in the assessment must be 1T
tributed TO the inefScioncy Of the
assessors. Speaking of last year
he says: 1.-The Assessors outside
of Honolulu, with a few exceptions,
were men entirely deficient Of q
kmovledge cftheir duties; they were
not skilled us valuators of property,
on a large scale, and therefore acant-
ing IN kno,cledge and force Of
character TO make them efficient
public officers, and thereby not only
was there no increase in personal
property heretofore deducted, but
the general increase fell short of
former years. Il 1.-The i'm
portance of selecting men qualified
to fill the office of Assessor is one of
more than ordinary Importance ;
nothing will irritate the public more
than unequal taxation, which is GER
tain TO be the case with incompetent
persons in office.
The whole burden of the lay is in
efficiency, ignorance, lack of char
acter And yet inefficient, ignorant
| and characterless men are year after
year appointed, ana Will continue tC
be appointed as long as the power Of
appointment is likewise in the hands
of Inefficient or unscrupulous men
and as long rs the tenure of the
office depends upon subserviency
and a return of political support for
value received.
Take away from the Minister the
power of appointing new men every
year, and one prolific soursc of cor.
ruption will be removed. Take
away from the tax assessors and col
lectors the power to act at the same
time as members of the Legislature
and we shall have a truer represen.
tation and less trucking to thu
powers that be, for purposes of pri
vate gain.

PRESIDENT RHODES RULING UPON
THE QUESTION OF ALLOWING
MINISTERS TO VOTE ON A QUES-
TI0N OF WANT OF CONFIDENCE.

Mr.. Rhodes ruling was as fol-
lows:
"Therc is considerable conflict
between our rules and those of for
eign nations, and The rules of foreign
nations conflict with each other.
The rule in the u. S. House of Rep
resentatives is that no member shall
vote on any question in the event of
which he is Immediately and particu-
larly Interested"
In the British House of Parlia-
ment, in questions of this description,
all members of both Houses vote,
including the Ministers.

CHANGE NEEDED IN A DISRE-
pUTABLE SYSTEM.

We would urge upon the Assembly
the necessity of changing the present
method of appointing tax assessors
and collectors. Under the existing
system these offices are simply the
prey of the administration, parceled
out to personal friends, relatives and
political workers, and with few ex-
ceptions, without regard to fitness,
character or intelligence on the part
of the appointees. The country now

The seml-centennials recently celebrated
in Germany is the famous Deaconess
Institute, in Kaiserwerth founded in
1888 by the Rev. F. Fliedner, the father
OF the well-known Protestant mission
airy Fliedner in Spain. The beginnings
Of this institution were quite humble,
the first and only building being a
mere shanty." Now there are nine
large buildings at Kaiserwerth, and
eleven association branch houses in
Germany and in other countries. AL
together there are, at present, SIS dea-
conesses employed by these houses in
various works Of charity and Christian
love. The last annual report showed
an expenditure of 321, 1874 marks by
this institution, which is the income
from voluntary contributions.

AFTER this date the Central PreSby-
terrain will be sent for 81 so year to all
subscribers who pay IN adUance. The
circulation of the paper has lately in
creased more rapidly than ever before
and we hope by securing large increase
of subscribers and prompt payment, to
j Justify this reduction in price. If pay
ment is delayed beyond three months
after the subscription year commences,
the price will be So as heretofore. There
will be no exception to this rule. All
subscribers who are in arrears can secure
the paper for So so as soon as they pay
what they owe and send on that sum for
the ensuing year. We hope they will
do this as soon as possible. We shall
endeavor to make the paper more and
more worthy of confidence and support.
1t aims to be faithful representa-
tive of orthodox, evangelical Christianity
and of the principles and intelligent
thought of the Presbyterian Church.
We have to thank many friends in every
part of the Church for the kind manner
in which they have commended the con-
duct of the paper. We ask them to
unite with us in the effort to enlarge its
circulation at these reduced rates, and 30
increase its influence. At these rates

portion to the work expended on it and

The London correspondent of the
Philadelphia Presbyterian writes con
corning the recent amusing and lively
pass-atarms between Mr.. Herbert
Spencer and Mr. Frederic Harrison
very instructive squabble (pardon the word)
goes on here between two of our great leaders Of
modern thought Mr.. Herbert Spencer and
Mr. Frederick Harrison. No two men have
made such determined, and as some have
thought, successful assault on the religion of the
supernatural. The 81. James Gazette saws. 1.-THE
dispute between Mr. Spencer and Mr.. friedrich

spencer with p" cribbing" from Comte in a
variety OF ways. The word environment, -
one OF Mr.. Spencers stock terms, now in uni.
yersai use. he says he took from Comte. "Mr.
herbert played new tune on Comics instru-
ment. Had there been no Comte there would
nave been no Spencer" Though Mr.. Spencer
rejects many doctrines of Comte, and processes
70 reject many more; though he is himself a
highly original thinker, still the profound points
OF agreement set forth outweigh, in nv lude-
ment, the Blk or sixty points Of disagreement
and they constitute him an 'uncopscions mia
Tor, Oh Comte." Mr. Spencer is unequivocally

ate being considered disciple of Comte." 1t
surely shows remarkable haziness of view
somewhere, that these leaders Of scientific
thought do not yet seem to know what phllo-
soPhical school they belong to.
