lures addressed to His Majesty the,
King and that the petition shall eZi
press the sense of this meeting to be
us follows;
That the Ministry have violated
the 18th Article of the Constitution
by eXpending Government money
unauthorized by the Legislative AS
senbly.;
That the Appropriation Act of
1882 has been violated by transfer
of app. opriations and payment of
Cove nment money not provided for
in the said Act;
That Section of the 23rd Chap
ter of the Laws of 1882, known as
the Audit Act, has been violated in
asmuch as a part of the revenues of
the Kingdom have not been covered
into the National Treasury as pro-
vided in the said Acts
That the Coinage Act of 1880 has
been violated and as result the
Kingdom has a silver coinage in
excess of its needs, upon which by
the neglect of the Ministry, the
Treasury has lost and an individual
has made large profits;
That q number of the members OF
the Legislative Assembly now con-
vened seem to have been SO wrought
upon 10y hidden influences that the
will and voice of the people cannot
find expression;
That, therefore, we have no Other
resource left to us as citizens than tC
assemble and express II want of con
tidence in His Majesty's present
Cabinet officers and humhly tt
petition His Majesty to asked them t,
tender their designations, and this W.
ever pray.
The Chairman appointed the fol
lowing Committee to wait on Hi
Majesty with the above resolution
after they had received public sigma
ture: Hon. ID. Kahanu, Messrs w
l.. Hookahiki, j. U. Kawainui, G
NJ. Cooke and Thos. Lucas.
Before the meeting dispersed Mr
Carter said, there ought to be n
Sinking in this business; every ma

THIS EVENINGS DoINCS.
TO-MORROW'S OOINCS.
GEORGE MACEARLANE.

This gentleman occupies promi-
nent position in our community, and
having been recently elevated to the
position of a Noble, the public have
right to know how he stands with
relation to the administration. His
conduct so far has not been an inde-
pendent one, and has given the gen.
eral impression that he is trimming
his sails to run as close to the wind
as possible, and that negatively he
will assist the Ministry, if not posi-
lively.
At the present crisis, in the face
Of the undenied report of the Finance
Committee, this is not the course Of a
straightforward honest man. There
can be no half way in this matter.
Either Mr.. Macfarlane is with the
Ministry or he is against them. If
the former, let him speak out, that
the public may know whether or not
to catalogue him among those who
favor pocket at the expense of honor.
If he is against Ministry, let him say
so, that the public may know that at
least one of the recent appointments
has back bone and is not besmirched
with the slime of Gibsonism.
The columns of this paper are
open to Mr.. Macfarlane to make
explanation of his position.

Minister Gibson said the report
was already in his Office, and he
would present it after recess.
Mr.. Mott Smith gave notice of a
joint resolution relating to Japanese
immigration.
Minister Kapena presented Il
statement of the amount received
by tax-collectors in each district for
1888, in answer to resolution
passed by the House.
Mr.. Bishop read first time joint
resolution authorizing the Minister
of Finance to pay over to the treas
urer of the Queens Hospital, the
sum of S7,O11.S3. The resolu-
ton was read second time by its
title, passed to engrossment and
will be read third time on Thurs
day.
Minister Gulick in answer to
resolution, presented statement of
privileges granted to the Oceanic
Steamship Co. The report was
ordered to be printed.
The Minister also stated in regard
to a resolution relating to the Board
of Genealogy, that owing to the ill
ness of the Secretary and the alb
sence of the Governess of Hawaii,
his report would be somewhat de-
layed.
The order of the day was next

Gardner, Deputy Sheriff of Hama;
Kaunamarv, Deputy Sheriff Of Ha-

of office holders are added Lilika

who does not hold au Office for til,
simple reason that there is nc office
the duties of which are simple
enough for him to comprehend +;
Keau, who has the supplying of the
lepcr hospital with poi at much
higher rate than other dealers offer
to supply it for, and who has the
promise of an Office if he votes
straight; and Kamakele, who was
elected by reason of his professed
hostility to the administration, and
who took q voluntary oath on the
Bible, in the presence of his consti-
tuents, that he would oppose the
present Cabinet, but who now votes
the whitewashing ticket as religiously
and regularly rs he takes his dinner
at Mr.. Gibson's table.
Is this "hidden influence?" 1t is
nothing more or less than bribery
with office, if not with money.
These men know which side thel
bread is buttered on, and they know
that their official commissions would
not be worth the paper they are
written on if they voted against
Gibson's wishes. We are reduced
to that lowest of depths, an un-
scrupulous Ministry, controlling and
backed by n subservient and IRE.

THE MINISTERIAL SUPPORT IN THE
LEGISLATURE.

The strength of the Ministers in
the Legislature is stated to be by
'some hidden influence" The in
tluence is not hidden skin deep.
They count four, of themselves.
There are number of the Mobiles
who are mere ciphers, who never
have any opinion on any subject,
and vote with any administration on
principle, and there are several whose
regulations are so mixed up with the
Cabinet that they do not dare do
otherwise than support Them and to
these may be added two or three
more whose bread and butter de-
pends upon voting straight. Among
the Representatives they have the
unqualified thick and thin support of
every office holder, The Govern
ment supporters among the Repre-
sentatiyes are Palohau, Deputy Sher-
iff of Hanalei; Amara, Deputy
Sheriff of Waialua; Kaulia, Deputy
Sheriff of Koolaupoko; Kaulukou,
District Judge of Koolaupoko; Ba-
ker, officer in the standing army;
Kupihea, District Judge of Molokai;
Aholo, Police Judge of Waikiki;

FINDING OF THE NAVAL COURT CON-
GERNIMG TIE CITY OF PARIS.

Finding and order of q Naval
Court held on board the British
Steamship City of Paris at Honolulu
on the 10Th and 20th days of June
1884, to investigate the circum-
stances attending the death of a
female emigrant on board the British
Steamship City of Paris of the port
of liverpool, official number "a ,926;
and also to inquire as to the cause of
the excessive mortality of emigrant
passengers on board the said ship
City of Paris, on her recent voyage
from Madeira and the Azores to the
port of Honolulu.
The Court having carefully inves-
tigated the circumstances of the case
of death of q female emigrant on
board the said ship are of opinion
that the explosion at Coronel when
one female was fatally, and several
others severely Injured, was acci-
dental, and not attributable to any
fault of either the master or officers
of the ship, as the rockets appear to
have been fired at the proper places
and in the appointed manner. There
were two rockets fired, both of which
appear to have been crratic in their
courses, the one from the starboard
side falling in boat on the port
side, and the other fired from the
port side having fallen amongst the
passengers on the starboard side of
the deck and occasioning the acci-
dent now under investigation.
The Court are inclined to attri-
hute the accident to the rockets
having been defective possibly from
damp. From the evidence of the
doctor, the Court are satisfied that
the death of the female passenger
was clearly attributable to the
numerous wounds received from this
explosion.
The Court, however, are of
opinion, that rockets of this nature
should not be used for purposes of
display but only in cases of necessity.
AS regards the excessive mortality
of emigrant passengers the Court
are of opinion that on the discovery
of the prevalence of measles at
Madeira and especially on finding
&C ual disease amongst the embark
ing passengers, all embarkation Of
emigrants should have ceased, and
further embarkation should have
been prohibited until a period of
three weeks had elapsed during
which intending emigrants should
have been segregated aud should
have shown no appearance of disease.
The Court are further of opinion
that the rapid spread of measles
among the passengers whilst in the
harbor of St. Michael should have
been regarded as an absolute pro-
hihition of the embarkation of fresh
emigrants from an uninfected port,
and further that the ship should not
have been allowed to leave port with
a disease evidently becoming cpl
demic on board.
The Court are further of opinion
that the deaths amongst the St.
Michael passengers, are clearly at

SOMETHING WHICH THE REPORT l0F
THE BOARD Of HEALTH DOES CON-

lhINs
LAST week we gave a brief
account of something which the
above report does not contain, to
wit, the reign of an individual call
ed Van Giesen at the Branch Hospi-
tai. Our only reason for occupying
our columns with so unsavory a
subject was the light it shed on the
character of our present Board of
Health and of DR.. Fitch, their high
est paid official and chief medical
adviser. Our story ended at the
point where the subject of our
sketch retired (apparently) in dis
grace from the position he had
abused for over two years. By his
own acts he had ''giyen himself
away" His admissions to news
paper reporters and others, his con-
spicuous revolver and his general
ruflianly demeanor all conspired
against him. In Difference to out
ragged public opinion, even Gibson's S
oily tongue seemed to falter and the
brazen face of Fitch took on the
semblance of blush, while it was
announced that change had been
decided upon and that Van Giesen
must go.
And now comes most eXtraordi-
nary chapter in the history of the
relations of this man to the Board of
Health; chapter which we take
from their own printed report. 1t
seems that after the events at Ka-
kaako, to which allusion has already
been made, and after the so-called
investigation which necessitated his
forced retirement, he still enjoyed
in so eminent degree the conf
dence of Mr.. Gibson that he was
chosen to proceed TO Molokai, to in
vestigate and report upon the condi-
ton of things there existing. His
report, which occupies twelve pages
in the printed pamphlet, is dated
March 29th, 1884, and is signed
JOHN II. VAN GIEsEN,
SteWard Branch Hospital.
So it appears that several weeks
after his misgovernment at Kakaako
had eliminated in q disturbance
under such circumstances that the
Government never dared to bring a
single actor therein before court of
justice, this person was still signing
official documents as "Steward
Branch Hospital" and Mr.. Gibson
endorsed the correctness of such
signature by printing it as part OF
his official report. Judging from
these facts and from the high favor
with which he has always been re-
garded by Messrs Gibson and Fitch,
it seems quite likely that this person
is still in the employ of the Board
and drawing salary for some kind
of service, real or imaginary. Was
his apparent dismissal anything more
than n farce nlaVed off i'm order IN
blind an indignant community
Certain it is that he is still, or was
very recently, going about the streets
wearing his policeman's badge. A
further explanation is in order.
Since writing the above, we have
learned that Van Giesen is still in
the employ of the Board of Health,
at the Leler Settlement on Molokai.

that is required is to give the water an
outlet. Every street should drain itself
as well as all the lots bordering
upon it, and would do so, If left to itself,
by constructing drain next to the
curb stone of the sidewalk. Lots should
be raised so that the water falling on
them will run down the streets, instead
of stagnating in back yards or under
houses. Raise the sidewalks and then
the streets can also be improved. The
city is abundantly able to arrange sur
face drainage without bonds. The sew
ers cannot perform double duty, and it
would be nonsense to attempt such II
thing. The drainage of every street
should be attended to without waiting
for the sewers to be constructed, and it
is the duty Of the Council to see that it
is done.

The Diaz family-a name, by the bye,
as common in Cqstillan as Smith here
abouts-is getting its share of fame in
Mexico. Porfirio Diaz is the popular
hero, and probable next President, while
Ponciano Diaz is the most famous bull
fighter of the Republic.
Mexico grows colder every winter.
The natives say that the refrigeration of
the climate is due to the coming Of the
railroads from the Republic of the North,
and great Swans attribute the climatic
changes to the magnetic influence of the
iron rails. A snow storm in village
near the capital last month set all the
metropolis to shivering. By next year
our sleigh manufacturers may expect or
ders from the swells of the City of
Mexico.
Orizaba Is a tropical town whose in
habitants lounge in hammocks and read
French novels-that Is, the Weather
people. Ii Is to have n new paper
neither daily nor semweekly, fortnight
" nor monthly. The paper will appear,
it is gravely announced in the prospeo-
tus, "when it is convenient for the
editors"
During the recent nickel excitement
in the City of Mexico, the bakers re-
duced the size Of their loaves, pleading
as an excuse the depreciation of the cur
rency, but now that the nickel has ceased
to circulate, the bakers still keep their
loaves small, and are excused on the
ground of forgetiulness.
A cave has been discovered near the
mining town of Pachuoa, which presents
n remarkable display of stalactites. The
bones of human beings have been found
in the cavern. A Government commits
sion will probably visit it.
Federal District Governor Fernandez
has begun war on the shop signs in the
metropolis. Such signs as do not indi-
| cate with some reasonable degree of ac-
curacy the nature of the goods sold must
come down. Calling shop "The Green
Parrot" and selling hardware is mad
missable. by changing the name to
"The Golden Horseshoe" all will be
right.
DO you speak English, sir?" is a ques-
| ton now in the mouths of at least 5000

will be spoken all over Mexico.
