Queen victoria. Aoc..riou Day.

Friday the 10th inst, was the 47th anniversary Of
the accession of Queen Victoria to the throne Of
her ancestors. The events Of those years are too
well known to need recapitulation here, more es-
pecially as on the occasion of the Queens birth
day the GAZETTE gave a short notice Of Her Maj
estys reign. IL is sufficient to say that the period
has been one of unbroken progress in constitu-
uonal government, in popular education, IN arts
and sciences, in useful and beneficial inventions
OF every kind II was in the year after the Queen g
accession that the GTeat Western made the then
unprecedented voyage from Bristol TO New York
IN IL days. Railway travelling in its infancy,
electric teleeraphy was but toy, anRsthetics in
surgery were scarcely known and free trade was
untried. 80 many and so great changes were yet
in the future when the accession Of Queen Vic
toria took place.
On the morning of the 10th the British men. Of
war dressed ship, the City Of Paris followed suit
the consular bags were displayed. q royal salute
was fired at noon, and in the evening Admiral
Lyons gave dinner on board his flagship, the
StriffSHre. The Admiral occupied the centre seat
at the table. His Majesty the King on his RIGHT
and Prince Oscar of Sweden on his left: opposite
were Capt. Aitcheson and the foreign commission
ers; His Ex. the American Minister resident was
unavoidably absent: the Hon. A. s. Cleghorn,
Hon. Curtis 1aukea, the Bishop Of Honolulu, the
Hon. Godfrey Brown, the Commodore of the
Swedish frigate TdpGdis, the Princes Abide
present His Majesty the King left the ship at
a quarter past nine; the ship was illuminated with
long lights at each yard arm and the electric light
streamed out over the water and lighted the boats
on their way into the harbor.
The weather was fine, the sea smooth and 50
closed the celebration of the Queens Accession as
kept in Honolulu.

IHE situation last Saturday evening was
mot fully understood by many OF our citi-
zens In reality success had been made
by the opposition to the Ministry. After
three days debate, after having full CD
portunity 10 rebut the charges against
them, the Ministerial side did not dare to
come to a vote, but sneaked out of the dis
cussion with their tails between their legs.
Practically, they confessed by that motion
for the Committee to rise that they had
nothing more 10 say ON their Own behalf.
and that they dreaded the influence which
the speakers of the members of the oppo-
sition who had not yet spoken, might have
upon their own supporters.
The good fight had been fought honestly
and gallantly by the young men who have
stood IN the fore front Of the opposition
good reasoning and sound argument had
had their full weight as compared with
despicable subterfuge and miserable trick
cry which was set up as defence. The
temper Of the House was SO decidedly
against the Ministry that they seized upon
a straw to save their political lives. any,
thing to gain time Sunday was clear
day TO work in, they would use II to the
best advantage they could for lobbying
work.
This was the meaning of the show of
hands on Saturday evening. 1t was no
test vote, but when the vote does come the
appearance Of the House will be very diff
ferent from what it was then.

AMoNe other benefits to be hoped for
from the debates in the Legislature on the
Report of the Finance Committee, one
must be the distinct emphatic challenge
Of several Hon. Representatives to the
legality Of money appropriations by Cabi-
net Resolutions. Any one may search the
clauses of the Constitution without finding
any warrant whatever for such form of
appropriation, while on the other hand,
Article Is explicitly declares that "no
money be drawn from the Public Treasury
without such assent" (viz: of the Legisla-
tive Assembly, except when between the
Sessions of the Legislative Assembly the

fair than his attitude towards the Hon.
Godfrey Rhodes. For years the latter had
been his firm friend. and had supported
him in many trial. After the Minister
took Office, Mr.. Rhodes followed him as
far as a man OF honor and Christian
gentleman could, and when the Minister
stepped beyond this. why Of course Mr..
Rhodes severed his connection with him.
During the course Of the late debate the
Minister criticised Mr.. Rhodes for the
manner in which he had appointed the
Committees and Hr Rhodes defended
himself ably. On Saturday the Minister
returned to the charge and built up fine
fabric Of rhetoric, based on the assumed
fact that Mr. Rhodes left him at the mo.

DURING the debate on the Finance Com
mittee's Report, there has been good
deal said by the Government about the
Committee raling up small matters, and
the remarks have struck responsive chord
in the minds of many outside the House.
We would ask however those people to
pause and think for a moment. 1t may
seem small to talk. of the seven turkeys,
OF the hustle, Of the Ministerial telephone
and so forth, but the facts are there, and
it was the duty of the Committee to show
them TO the public The Cabinets argu-
ment seems to be, we have no objection to
be arraigned as great criminals, we have
no objection to being charged with NAL
feasance in Office, we court the charge Of
having acted unconstitutionally, but it is
altogether too bad to bring up our small
peccadilloes, it is wrong to show that we
have ourselves, or allowed others to snap
up ten dollars here, and twenty dollars
there: the thing is totally beneath the dig
nifty of a Financial Report
So may the defaulting clerk or salesman
argue: Hundreds of dollars pass through
my hands and / have only stolen fifty
cents or SO, what need Of making fuss
Had my peculations gone into the hun.
dreds why, there might be some cause of
complaint, but fifty cents, what is it, II
does not iujUre the firm one iota, why en-
quire about it7'' The reply of the police
magistrate to such plea as this would be
short and decisive. Honesty is not meas
ured by the amount which a man appro-
PIRATES: the punishment is The law puts
a lighter penalty upon the sneak thief
than 1t does upon the burglar.
Now the Finance Committees Report
shows conclusively how the Ministry have
committed burglary upon the public treas
ury; how under the name of "Cabinet res
olutions" they have violated their own
oaths and the constitution at the same
time: how they actually stand before the
House as great moral criminals: but the
Finance Report shows more; it shows not
only that these men are capable Of defying
the law In great things, but it shows that
they are capable of the pettiesf of mean
nesses. e#FE E
The small things mentioned in the Re
port, are but the slight touches which go
towards making complete the Cabinets
portrait of infamy that had been put in
with holder strokes. To fully understand
the looseness and laxness of these men it
did require that some of the details Of their
administration should be given. 1t did
require that their layishness of petty ex-
penditure should be shownup. And prop
erly taking this view the Committee did
show them up, and the only thing the Min
listers could do was to complain about their
being shown up, To own TO the child as
it were but to plead that it was only little

The reputation of the Hawaiian Legis-
lature has always stood high in one par
ticular. Ii we did not have displays of ora
tory such as grace the the floor of the
Senate Chamber of the United States. or
st. Stephens in England, and if we did
have an occasional amount of nonsense
talked, we still were clean. 1t has been
reserved for this session alone to have Ian
guage used on the floor of Aliiolani Hale
which would disgrace a seventh rate pot
house. The Attorney General, the pro
tector of the morals of the Kingdom, the
man who may have TO come forward and
prosecute a poor devil who is informed
against for lewd conversation and try to
get a conviction against him; this Attor-
ney-General comes forward in the House
of Representatives and gives vent to a
story which no gentleman would dream of
uttering before such an assemblage of
people, which even 4 gentleman would
hesitate TO utter before male stranger.
Our House of Representatives ought to be
place where our wives and daughters
can 90 and listen to debates. But If such
language as the Attorney General used
last Saturday is to be tolerated no honest
woman could put her foot into the House.
1t was unfortunate that ladies were pres
ent and within hearing, for they must have
been quito shame, not for themselves but
for him whenthey heard the coarse words
drop from his lips Had the Attorney
General no regard for their feelings? We
pronounce our opinion in unqualified terms
that this particular portion of theAttor-
ney-General's address 10 the Legislative
Assembly disgraced it as it never has been
disgraced.
Smart repaItee, keen sarcasm, by which
ever side it may be uttered, will always
receive its due need of praise from us, but
we shall always condemn anything like
blackguardism, whether uttered within or
without the House There is only one
opinion upon this matter throughout the
city, and that is of unqualified disapproyal,
but it is tempered in some cases with sor
row that the Attorney Generals talents
should be smirched with such dirty trash.
They feel that he must say:
"Fideo moli0na PROLOGUE dees4ora SoqHor.n
He knows what is right, he approves
what is right, but he has wilfully trans
gressed from mere i'll temper He should

great increase in the cost af living. while
other teachers applications for an increase
Of salary have been granted, or the increase
has been made unsolicited, modest peti-
