EnTroE DEMONSTRATING Of the transfers Of
money from one appropriation TO another, Mr..
Bishop said that the school money had been used
by the Ministry for other purposes so that money
could not be obtained for the legitimate purposes
Tor which L had been appropriated. The schools
on Mani have felt il as much as any In Hama
knapoko there was no building for the school and
the people allowed the church 10 Be used for a
schoolhouse until It vas found that ths Children
were abusing the furniture. Then the Haiku
plantation allowed the energetic school mistress
70 use the packing noon of the old Haiku Mill
She borrowed kerosene cases and by placing boards
across them formed seats enough to accommodate
the pupils. This is one of the distresses Of 4
country district which has had its claims for school
accommodations ignored by the present cabinet
The school at Ulupalakua not having seating
room for the pupils, more than twenty Of them
have to sit on the floor. The school board knew
well Of these troubles bat lacking money they had
to stand over until next torn. When a cabinet,
TO carry out its purposes, will abstract money from
the school funds and road taxes ~ il has been
proven that this one did, aud still endeavor TO
make the people believe that they are governed
according to the constitution il is about time the
people were undeceived. II is presumed that the
Ministers think that II the people do not object,
the treatment they get Is good enough for them.

TIE doctrine Of taxation Is based upon
the fact that government furnishes protee-
ton to the property and persons Of mem
hers Of society, who therefore ought tobear
their proportionate share Of the expenses
OF the government In representative
form Of government it Is particularly es-
sential that those who have the voting and
law making power. and the power to ap-
propriate public money, and enact laws
for raising revenue by taxation. should
have pecuniary interest OF their own. in
the way money Is voted and taxes imposed
If 1t were not Tor poll. road and school
taxes, which are the same for all tax PAYERS.
there would be a large number of our
voters and Legislators who would view with
utter uncOnceTn the manner and extent of
raising public revenues, except as they
reaped the benefit Of the outlay. The OK
emptlon Of real estate owners Of taxes on
real estate up to three hundred dollars In
value, was piece OF folly. which many
deem 10 be unconstitutional. as il takes
away from large number of voters all
responsibility or care for the management
OF public moneys, and fails 10 require of
them their prOpOrtionate share Of the NIB
lie burdens in return for the protection
which their property receives.
The method of raising revenue lv rms
toms duties on imports Is regarded with
favor because 1t Is a kind Of burden which
carries the least friction. 1t cannot be
evaded easily, and IS distributed equally.
Every one who uses imported dutiable
articles must pay the duty in the enhanced
prlce of the articles The equality of this
taxation is however, one Of its most Oh
iectiona5le and unjust features. Rich
and poor bear it alike. the former by
buying more cheaply and easily at whole
sale, having the advantage. A claim often
made in favor Of raising taxes in this way
Is that by discriminating in favor Of ar
ticles of home production and against Ike
articles OF foreign production. home indus
tries can be fostered This fallacy. as we
regard it, has long been exploded in Great
Britain in favor Of free trade. 1t has no
basis in this country, for we have no man
ufactures or other industries to call for
protection
II it were not for the opportunity which
is afforded by our taxation Of imports to
negotiate treaty Of reciprocity with the

TIE financial position Of the govern
ment at the present moment Is by no
means good. What it viii be by May next
the members of the Cabinet do not them
selves know. nor do they seem to care.
Their present status Is that they cannot
pay their Indebtedness to parties whom
they have been owing for some time back.
We know Of one account Of over $1,000
which they owe and are unabletop pay. They
have moreover, been obliged to ask time
upon the bonds which fell due on the first
Of this month.
By the 18th of October the first shin
ment Of silver coin to San Francisco ought
TO be made; gentleman thoroughly &C
qualnted with thereSources Of the country
and a keen thinker on financial matters
tells rs that he has grave doubts as to the
ability Of the government to carry out the
law That with the many expenses to
meet even the incoming taxes Will not
suffice.
The present condition Of affairs reminds
one very fOrcibly Of Phaton when he Dor
rowed the chariot Of the sun. He found
himself utterly unable to control the fiery
steeds and nearly set the world on fire
Our Cabinet possesses not one member
who understands even the rudiments of
financial policy and 1t has driven its chariot
IN such a way that It no longer has any
control over 1t. The crash Is coming. when
our little world may be set on fire; unfor
tnnately there Is no Jupiter to hurl his
thunderbolt and save the little orb.
The people Of Hawaii must look forward
with anything but equanimity when they
see the work which Is ahead Of them. Put
the greatest skill possible at the helm of
state and yet the ship must be damaged
and the crew and passengers viii have to
put their hands in their pockets and pay
the piper.

4 RECENT writer, reviewing the CONNER
cial situation and outlook in the United
States, says that -the commercial activity
Of 1885 and the exceeding prosperity which
must ensue, might be preiica;ed, - but for
two uncertain factors, VIZ:
First The silver question
Second The uncertainty in regard to tie future
financial policy Of the Government"
Now 1t seems to Us a. if these two fac
tors are present in Hawaii: at all events
one Of them Is. the first. Upon this the
opinion Of the same writer comedies with
the opinion q our best financial thinkers
here. and the Legislature has endorsed
their opinion The writer SAYS:
In respect to the first there is still time TO pre-
vent the debasement Of the standard Of value to
the level Of dollar Of light weight worth utlittle
more than eighty cents IN E1lt= but every years
DELAY Will bring the country nearer 70 the newt
able disaster which must eusls from our existing
acts Of legal tender and coinage
With regard to the second there Is per
haps this difference. that while in the
United States there may be uncertainty
with regard to the future financial policy
Of the government. with us in Hawaii there
Is unfortunately no such uncertainty"
We are IN that unhappy position Of being
certain that the financial policy OF. our
government l. ruInOus one. and that in
the near future If viii become patent. not
only to those who are able to f0resee. but
that It viii be brought home even to those
who are wilfully blind.

RECENT events have called public atten
ton to the pilot system of this port, and
investigation shows that it is anything but
a satisfactory one
Of course the commerce of these islands
Is by no means large enough to warrant
our pilots going 80 to 100 miles to sea, and
staying away ten days at a stretch. All
our pilots are required to do is to be
promptly on hand off Diamond Head.
when vessel Is DESTROYS of making the
port That they are not promptly on hand
Is notorious fact. Not only have sailing
vessels to wait, but it has happened not
even once or twice only that steamers have
been delayed by the non-arrival of the
pilot.
The position of pilot is by no means
bed of roses, and elsewhere men 90 into
the business who mean to work hard Here
1t IS a somewhat dHltdBte employment.
Elsewhere there is the keenest competi-
ton. here there Is none: if question arises
as to turns" it can be easily settled by
an amicable game of euchre at the office
on the wharf We do not say this is &C
tually done, all We mean is that things
slip along in happy -go-lucky fashion.
We do not charge our pilots with lack
of ability, but we do charge that they lack
energy. This is most likely the fault of
the system under which they work, change
the system and the mems methods would
change too. Instead of taking turns let
each pilot be for himself, and let the best
and sharpest man make the most money.
as he does in every other walk in life, and
there will be wonderful increase in the
energy displayed by the men who hold the
positions.
As it stands now each pilot knows that
he must get a fair share of the business
whether he e1erts himself or not, but throw
up competition between the men and then
each will know that he stands for himself
and that he depends for success upon his
own exertions. At the same time we would
wish it distinctly understood that we do
not disparage the abilities of our pilots,
merely their energy, and that stumbling
block might be easily removed

Two of our local papers endorse the ap-
pointment of Mr.. Aholo upon the LoAgi
tude Commission. II the editors in
question have satisfied themselves as to
Mr.. Aholo's abilities as a member Of the
Board we cannot gainsay them, for how
ever grave our doubts may be, we have
not examined the Hon. member for La
haina as they seem to have done. More
over We not only have grave doubts rela-
tive 10 Mr. Aholo's abilities as a scientific
thinker, but we have absolutely no doubt
as 70 the uselessness of the expedition alto
gether. II such an expedition were neces-
sary, there. of course, can be no doubt that
Professor Alexander is the proper man to
be sent; but of what particular advantage
to the country is it to be represented at
this meeting! Absolutely Hil The whole
thing Is a matter of vanity on the part of
certain European States, who insist upon
a meridian at variance with the English
speaking nations of the world Does Ha-
wan expect to be heard in the matter
We truw not. 1t is on the part of the gov
eminent which engineered this item
through the Assembly, simply an adver-
Using dodge. The present incumbents of
Office are not anxious to make this country
solid. but they are trying simply to puff
it mp into bubble reputation, which the
pin point of criticism pricks as easily as
a bladder is pricked.
With depleted treasury, with our prin-
cipal industry in difficulties. with hard
times staring us in the face. it is rank folly
to spend even $1,000 on such useless ex-
petition, and this one is as likely to cost
$1,000 as $1,000. Economy in small things
Is what makes money for family, and
economy in small things IS what will assist
in making a country's finances look
healthy instead of sick As to the appoint
ment of Mr.. Aholo, it is a patent fact that
he was not chosen for mis- ability. but that
he was simply literally rewarded by the
Minister OF Foreign Affairs for the man,
