amount 10 shout $l4 600 and tie bills ordered
paid by Council ut this meeting amounted

the new Silsoy engine and the appropriations

THE LOAN ORDINANCE TACKLED,

The Loan ordinance was taken up in the
amendment was mcde bv Mr.. Stanley, who
moved to substitute 100000 for 500, 900 as
the amount OF the loan. He said be under.
stood that that would cover the present ont.
standing indebtedness, and he did not bslleye
that the people would ratify the ordinance II
1t was made for any larger amount, as they
would fear that provision was being made
for the Board OF Public Works. Il ~ ;;2S 'f..2'aG
Mr.. Porter Smith thought that the people
would ratify an ordinance for 5000, 900 as
soon as for $500 900. '.Dr. Jepson favored MI.

for paving Sixteenth street, as 1t had already
been torn up preparatory to paying with the

In the best municipal governments,
on active interest is taken by public
spirited citizens, who are perfectly viii.
ling to give portion of their tlmeto pub
lie work for nothing. The Offices of
the municipality would be few, and
most OF them, though in conspicuous
degree useful to the public, would neither
be remunerative nor especially glorious
The prime advantage oi this is that it
would remove almost all motive from
the present government to corrupt the
elections. 1t is conceded indeed iha,
those at present in control ot public af-
fairs have a strong pyicT prejudice
against good government, which
amounts almost to a second nature and
from which every thing is tob he feared
Their habits too are all against them.
But after making every allowance for
the influence OF habit as well as natu-
raj and acquired depravity, we still take
a cheerful view. II is not forgotten, in
deed, that several of the Roman emper-
ors took an unbounded delight in muir
der, etc, Pc, se,rejoicing in it as mere
fine art, with the taAe and in the spi-
rit Of connoisseurs. Commodus, noto-
riously, is said to have been divided in
heart, between the opposite pleas.
ures of caressing his wiie's beautiful
throat, which he could do many
times, and the still moreexquisite satlstac
ton Of cutting,it which he could do but
oLoe. Ii must be confessed that the
analogy here is rather alarming. But
our optimism will not allow US to press
it. We dislike to accuse the present
ministry of delight in evil for evil:
sake: and we seriously believe that they
they have no objection to good govern
mentin Honolulu,so long as it does no,
affect their own tenure Of power. Has
ten, then, the happy day, when these
rosy hued imaginings shall become Sc
lid matter Of fact.

why docs not Honolulu enjoy local
SELF government The control of cipi
tai cities 10y national governments has
not qs general rule proved itself a
satisfactory arrangement, and om own
experience has certainly not afforded
any exception to tho principle laid down.
1t seems almost superlluous to expand
upon the advantages OF local govern.
mcnt in all matters which can possibly
be so arranged although We shall re.
turn to this subject more in detail,
anon. These advantages have been
increasingly recognized for three hun.
drcd years, We do not overlook the
danger to which city governments in
the United States are exposed, but we
do not believe that they would mani
fest themselves here in any propor,ionate
degree, We would not be liable to
the corruption which works such evil in
a wealthy city like New York, We see
no reason why the control, under such
an arrangement, would not rest just,
where it belongs-in the hands Of our
most prominent and intelligent citizens,
who possess the most enlightened un.
derstandng of the needs OF the com
munity at large and the means bes,
adapted to meet and satisfy those needs
OF course We cannot have local self
government without legislative action;
and We think such legislative action
ought to limit the franchise in mum
cipal mat,ers-to tax payers.
