DUTIES PAYABLE IN COLD.

On Friday last we gave the law
and Privy Council orders concern
ing the coin in which duties are
payable. The organ discusses our
article IN its Saturdays issue, and
in it's usual calm and judicial manner,
comments upon Messrs. Dole, Smith
and Castle, and among other polite
compliments says:
The pure and patriotic trio in De-
cember last had an axe to grind-they
thought they could turn the Gibson
Ministry out then. by proving that Ha-
waiian silver coin was mol the equiva-
lent of u. S. gold. In July they have
still the old axe to grind and think to
get an edge on the miserable old tool
by demonstrating that Hawaiian silver
is the equivalent of L. S. gold"
This is probably convincing
argument, and decisive of the ques-
ton, to the editor of the organ, and
others who do not understand what
they are talking about. The De-
cember decision was based upon
the construction of clause in the
Loan Act, which reads that the
bonds, which are payable in gold,
shall not be sold for less than par.
The court held that the bonds being
payable in L. S. Gold, the sale of
the bonds for any coin of less in
trinsic value than u. $. gold, would
be sale below par, and therefore,
contrary to the terms of the statute.
For the purposes of buying gold
bonds, therefore, the court held that
under the wording of the statute,
American and Hawaiian silver was
not the equivalent of u. S. gold.
The law and Privy Council orders
as heretofore stated by us is now
the law of the land, and the Privy
Council order of 1876, which de-
fines the equivalent of u. S. gold,
specifically states that all duties are
payable in the coins therein emu

United States that duties ought to

TO OUR READERS.

There is hardly anything more
dearly priced than the approval of
those in whose Judgment we have
confidence. We have been rewarded
and highly encouraged by the many
warm assurances of approval and
support which have flowed in from
all sides. Some of the most hearty
and cheering have been from resi-
dents of the other Islands. As we
cannot reply individually to all who
have approved our course, we would
return our thanks to them collec-
lively. We have sought earnestly
to obtain reliable information upon
the important events which are
transpiring, and to analyze and
criticize fairly. We have striven to
do justice to all, to commend where
commentator was deserved, and to
denounce fearlessly where con-
demnation was merited. We do not
assume misdom above our fellows,
nor are we infallible; but we have
sense of our obligations as public
journalists, and have worked with a
determination to be true to the task
we have undertaken. If we have
helped to disseminate correct in
formation, to expose wrongs and
injustice, and to create a sound
public sentiment, our labor has not
been in vain.

SATURDAYS RACES.

A large number of people went
out to Kapiolani Park on Saturday

during the afternoon. The follow
ing is n summary;

NJ L. Pilipo moved the report be
laid on table for consideration with
the Appropriation Bill.
Mr.. Widemann thought the de-
tailed items should be furnished. He
knew that the Lihue road, for which
there was an item of $4,000, was
about the best road on the Island.
He had been road Commissioner
there for twelve or fourteen years.
When he left the office the roads were
very good indeed, but he had never
received one dollar of subsidy from
Government except for one bridge.
There had been q good deal of money
spent in that district since outside
of the road tax. He believed in
having good roads, but in such pro-
posals he believed in knowing what
the roads are for which the eXpendi
ture is proposed. He could mention
other instances, but only hoped the
items would be forth coming.
Mr.. Hitchcock said the committee
had done their best in trying to find
out from members the actual neces-
sites of their respective districts,
but it would be impossible for them
now to give all the items.
The motion carried.
On motion the House adjourned
until 10 O'Clock on Monday.

THE REPORT OF TINE BOARD OF
GEKEAL0GY.

EDITOR BULLETIN His Elk. the
Minister of the Interior presented
the report of the so-called Board of
Genealogy Friday morning to the
Legislature. When the resolution to
bring in this report was passed in the
Assembly, everybody expected that
the Ministry would either convent
emily forget to do so or prolong the
sickness of the Secretary of the
Board, but in actually bringing in
this report they beat their former
record of brazen impudence. |
have only had time to skim through
the report, but found sufficient evil
dence to condemn the same as lot
of amusing rubbish. If prize
had been offered for the most insane
article, the prize being position as
chief maniac in a Lunatic Asylum,
there could not have been collected
more consummate nonsense. In
stead of telling us who the Kings
father was, and what became of his
grandfather and other ancestors of
our other chiefs, the Board seem to
have occupied themselves chiefly
with Genology, Physiology, Psy-
chology, Chronology and half-a-
dozen other ologies. Seven persons
have presented their genealogy for
approval by the Board, but the
work on all of them is unfinished.
This puts two ideas into my head,
first problem to the amiable incom-
petent. If the unfinished gene
alogy of persons cost $4,000 to
the country, what will be the cost
for the remaining 10000? Second
thought, | shall present my own
genealogy dating back to William
the Conqueror, and have it approved
by the Board. A great many of
the sentences in the report have
either no meaning at all or appear
to contain some hidden witticism.
Section of the rules read: ''The
Board shall meet at the call of the
President, at such time and place as
may be designated not to erceed sir
days in q aUeek." This reminds me
forcibly of the German Punch
which appears daily with the
exception of the week days,

SATURDAYS ENTERTAINMENT.

The entertainment in the Music
Hall on Saturday evening, in aid of
st. Andrews Cathedral fair, brought
together very large assemblage of
people; and they not only got their
moneys worth, but were well re-
warded for their attendance for
more delightful or more successful
performance could scarcely be rem
dered by, or expected from, any
company of amateur performers.
The opening piece, Overture, Luts-
picl by Kela Bella, was agreeably
rendered by the Symphony Clnb.
Mr.. Yarndley should have played first
violin in this number, but failing to
turn up, his place was ably filled by
Mr.. Kraft who is a very reliable and
excellent musician. Mrs. Jarley's
Wax Works exhibition was extremely
amusing. Mrs. Bickerton acted the
part of Mrs. farley, and did the
talking in clear and distinct voice,
naturally and facetiously. Mr.. II.
Won Holt and Mr.. Peterson were
competent assistants, and did the
oiling, winding up, and placing. in
position of the figures, Mr.. Won
Hollis drollery being particularly
mirth-provoking. The various ladies
and gentleman who represented the
wax figures were fixed up to look
for all the world like real wax works,
and it was a wonder to many that
they kept such perfect command
over their visibilities. Miss Michiel's
solo-Robert lie Diable-delighted
the audience so much that nothing
short of second appearance could
appease the enthusiasm, and she was
complimented with two magnificent
bouquets. A solo-Romance of
Hamlet-by Mr.. Hasselman was also
pleasingly rendered and much appre-
ciatcd. Mr.. Michiels cornet solo
Blue bells of Scotland-though played
dreadfully out of time, was encored,
and responded to with-Yankee
oodle.-The singing of the trio,
Jerusalem, by Miss Michiel's and
Messrs. Hesselman and Michiels was
loudly applauded and had to be re-
peated. After short intermission,
the Symphony Club commenced the
second part of the programme with
an Overture, Undine by Resch, most
charmingly rendered. This was
followed by one act comedy
"Who is who, or All in fog" The
cast consisted of five characters,
sustained by Mrs. Hayley, Miss
Wodehouse, Mr.. Atkinson, Mr..
Holdsworth, and Mr.. j. f. Brown.
Mr.. Atkinson's Country Gentle
man. was nearly perfect; Mrs.
Hayley represented the Superior
housemaid" splendidly; Miss Wode-
house acted the part of the sold
gentleman's daughter" very credita-
bly,; to come nearer to the typical

ECONOMY.

y
Minister of Finance to reduce the
proposed appropriation, with some
small exceptions, does it at the eX-
pensc of needed improvements.
Let them do away with useless
offices, cutting down large salaries
if need be. The department of the
Attorney-General might have still
further saving. Much as we adj
mirc Mr.. Whiting. and worthy n
gentleman as he is, there ought not
to be the appropriation for such
assistance. 1t is the duty of the
Acknowledgement to attend to the
preparation and trial of criminal
cases. He can have if he desires,
competent clerk, and it is the in
tention of the law that the clerk
shall do the necessary clerical work.
The country should not pay salary
for third party, if the Attorney
General and his clerk have so much
private business that they cannot
properly do the business of the
department, Occasionally 1t may
be necessary to employ outside
counsel. In such cases the "Inci-
dentals" or Criminal Expenses"
furnish proper fund on which to
draw.
There should be an ample fund
to successfully carry on the customs
department. The Survey Depart
ment ought to be carried on without
cramping its usefulness. vet it is
proposed to cut this department
down about one-third The Civil List
can be further diminished and still be
amply sufficient. The Foreign De-
partment ought to be conducted at
much less expense. 1t is both fool
ish and wasteful to conduct our
selves in such way as to parade
before the world. If any good has
resulted to the country, to its real
interests, from the missions of Iau-
kea or Kapena we have yet to learn
it. 1t is questionable whether Judd
or Macfarlane did anything on their
tours which is of any Importance or
which could not have been done
equally well by the mail. Is it ow-
ing to Mr.. Macfarlane's mission that
there is q marked and material diff
ference between the contracts agreed
upon between the planters and the
Government on one side and the
Portuguese on the other, here, and
the contracts finally signed on which
the immigrants came here on the
City of Paris and the former vessel ?
Another place where expense can
and ought to be saved. is in the
salaries of country magistrates,
where the duties can be performed
by any person in business, whose
time will not be seriously infringed
upon. Such person might well act
and the salary might be very small.
If. however, as in Kohala, Maka-
wac, Wailuku, Hilo, and possibly
Kau. most of the time of one per-
son is taken, the Office should be
filed by some one competent to per-
form the duties of the office, and he
should be properly paid for it. But
this does not by any means imply
that every district should be sup
| piled with magistrate whose salary
should support him.
On the whole, the proposed cut
off in expenses is little better than
farce. 1t says in effect, save the
salaries but let the public improve
ments go.

WHAT SAVED HAZEN.
The Movement Begun a Year Ago
Get Bid of an Incnmnafent Official

The Movement Begun a Year Ago to
Get Rid of an Incompetent Official
1t has for some time been obvious, says
a Washington special, that some I'M
known influence protected Gen. Hazen in
his position as Chief Signal Officer. More
than year ago Secretary Lincoln had de-
termined to get rid of him, on the ground
of proven incapacity-a ground which
the country had come to recognize.
Hazen was placed in position almost
precisely similar to the one which fur
nished the basis of the prosecution of
Gen. Swain, to wit; failure to ask
for a court of inquiry or an inves-
tigatiOn by military tribunal. 1t
is known that President Arthur, as
he did subsequently, in Swaim's case, was
about to order such an inquiry, which
would be the first step leading up to Ha-
zen's trial and possibly his dismissal, but
the President suddenly drew back and
HaZen has been safe ever since. This is
explained by recalling the fact.that Hazen
is the son-in-law of Mr.. Washington Nc
Lean, who is the power behind the Gin
cinnati Enquirer, paper of which Nc
Leans son is the audaci0us proprietor.
1t is not necessary to particularize how
Mclean called halt on Arthur and thus
secured for Hazen, the sOn-In-law, the
exemption he has since enjoyed from the
danger, which was so imminent, of being
deprived of his present soft place, if not
of his rank in the army.
Despite the fact that Hazen deserves to
be sent to his regiment and the Signal
Service placed in competent hands, he
will not be molested so long as Arthur
can protect him. The present atmosphere
Of scandal recalls the subject and the
character of the reasons which, it is al
legged, protect Hazen from all the accu-
INFLATED reasons for his removal.
