time Of his death. His father was the Rev. Joseph

Claremont, n. II. At the age of IL be entered
Amherst College and graduated in 1881. In 1S4l
he finished a theological course in Andover Theo-

American Board of Commissioners for foreign
missions. Rev. DR.. J, W. Smith and wife were

in Honolulu September 22d 1912. and NJ. Rovell
was located for number of months at Waialua
Oahu. In 1873 he was transferred to Hanalei
Kauai, where he remained three years. going to
Waimea. on the same island. in 1916. There he
be has lived ever since. never having returned to
the land of his birth, even for visit. He had
seven children, of whom SIX are still living. and
q grandchildren of whom 10 are living. In his
missionary labors he remained connected with
the A. B. c. F. NJ until about the year1s65. Since
then he has been the pastor of the independent
Church at Waimea. For the FIRST few years the
congregation met in a grass house, but afterwards
comfortable house was built, which stands to
this day monument TO his energy and to his
skill as architect aud builder. The walls are Of

from the forests IN the mountains back of Wal

down by natives under his personal supervision.
At that time many difficulties had to DO over

Death of Captain Thomas Spencer.

For more than thirty years Capt. Tom Spencer's
portly figure and stentorian voice have been faml-
lar to the people of these islands. Like SO many
OF his contemporaries Capt. Spencer came here
nrst In the whaling business and established him
self in Honolulu in ship chandlery store on the
lot recently vacated by A. W. Pierce { Co. For
many years he did large business, and made n
great deal Of money which he invested in a sugar
plantation at Hilo. This turned out unfortunately
and lattefly Capt. Spencer in occasional diff
culties. An enthusiastic American his sympathies
were world wide and his hospitality unbounded.
For some lew years past his health had been break
O'Clock.
Capt. Spencer had room enough, and warmth
enough IN his heart to entertain genuine love for
his adopted country, Hawaii, as we'll as for his
dearlyloyed native land aud his sterling qualities
were fully appreciated by several successive Mon
archs of this kingdom, His present Majesty and
Queen Kapiolani last but not least.
The funeral took place Sunday afternoon from
the Hawaiian Hotel, when the Rev. ]. A. Cruzan
ofhclated- large company had assembled to honor
the dead Foremost were their Majesties tue King
and Queen, Governor Dominis and Hon. A. s.
Cleghorn, His Maiesty's Ministers, His Ex the U.
:. Minister Resident, Consul Mckinley, Chief jos
tice Judd and Associate L. McCully with many of
the leading American residents, and of the Consu-
lar corps.
The Royal Hawaiian Band preceded the process
sion in an omnibus and awaited it at the gates OF
the cemetery, long line of carriages followed the
hearse. brief but impressive service was held
at the grave, conducted by the Rev. j. A. CruZan
Capt. Spencer having been American Consular
Agent at Hilo, tho Consular flags throughout the
city were kept at half mast throughout Saturday
and Sunday.

OUR, contemporary the Morning Trimmer.
proposes a panacea for the mess In immi-
grafton matters. The proposal of the pro-
found thinker on the Trimmer is that there
should be Board of Immigration with
the Minister ex-officio President. assisted
by three Commissioners, one of whom
should have a salary. and do all the work.
Evidently the writer Is a new hand. for
turning to the four and half columns of
directory which occupy part of the fourth
page OF the Trimmer, we find that there is
a Board of Immigration, with the Minis
ter of Interior as ex-oficio President. with
three members, two of whom are Cabinet
officers and the other District Judge
An Inspector of Immigrants at salary of
5000 year, Protector of South Sea I'm
migrants and Secretary, also at salary,
with opportunities of lunches, hack fare,
etc, etc, etc.
The present machinery is therefore lust
what the Trihsper proposes. 1t is the men
filling the posts who really make the
trouble: oil won't mix with water; and
honorable men viii not work with such a
man as the Minister of Foreign Affairs,
who occupies place on the Board Nor
can the fgure-head Kapena, or the windy
haulukou do much to assist IN carrying
on the business of the Board.
1t was good thing, theoretically. when
an Inspector of Immigrants was appointed;
but during two years he has made but one
tour of the group; we considerably doubt
whether he has personally visited any
plantation twice: If he has it is very few.
For this perfunctory inspection the coun
try has been charged SSS7.33. We know
that IN consequence of the Inspector doing
his work, either by letter or by deputy, or
very frequently not at all, that the Portu-
guese Commissioner has had to paw per
sonal visits, himself, to look into grievances
which should be attended to by the In
spector in the first instance; and we are
informed that this condition of affairs Is
not satisfactory to the Portuguese Gov
eminent An Inspector of Immigrants
should be constantly on the move In Fiji
the visits are numerous and unexpected.
Our contemporary instead of discovering
fresh machinery, should devote itself to
seeing that the present machinery be run

The question of the right of Ministers
IN tins country voting to save their official
lives Is one which, in spite of the able ar
guments so tersely put forward by Presi-
dent Rhodes. Is still debateable The DO
sluon Of an Hawaiian Minister Is not anal
ogous to that of a Cabinet Minister in
Great Britain The members of the Brit
lsh Cabinet who are in the Commons. are
there not because they are Ministers of the
Crown, but because they are the elected
representatives of the people Any mem
Der of the House of Commons rho dcoepts n
post Of e1aol'naer from the Gorernment has 10
roiBrH 70 kis constituency for reelection. II he
fails be may seek election elsewhere. but
his acceptance of office loses him his seat
until his own or some other constituency
endorse HIM by reelection. Such n case
occurred no further back than 1880. Sir
Vim Vernon Harcourt had represented the
city of Oxford from the year 1868. He was
appointed Home Secretary in NAV 1880:
he sought reelection and was defeated
Fortunately for him his party influence
was strong enough to bring him in mem
Der for Derby.
Now our Ministers are not in this posi-
ton. On the floor of our House they rep
resent no constituency, are responsible to
no constituency. British Cabinet Minis
tiers vote as elected members, it is their
right, as representing certain section of
the people. 1t seems to MS therefore that
to take what British Cabinet Ministers do
in the matter of voting, is hardly proper
precedent for the Hawaiian Chamber. Our
Cabinet Ministers may be anything, they
may be Italian adventures. like Moreno.
or aliens, pitch-poled into their position at
the within of a foreign monopolist, like
Neumann- Such men surely cannot be
judged as standing in analogous position
with men who are endorsed by a majority
of independent voters as fit representatives
to look after their public and local inter.
ests. The present members of the Cabi-
net have no endorsers, some eight tax as
SCISSORS, few district judges, and the small
army of government dependents How then
can they be on the same plane as British
Ministersli

So the long and bitter campaign
against the Ministry terminated on Satur-
day in the defeat of the opposition"l That

and their men ready and able to renew the
fight, as was seen on Monday when the
Foreign Minister was hindered effectually
from playing Barnum all over with Ha
waii nei for his Tom Thumb, and a Com
missioner at the International Congress

Our morning contemporary. with unpar-
aleled audacity and Indifference to fact.
states that the opposition failed to show
that Mr. Gibson and his colleagues had
violated the Constitution. or been wasteful
IN their handling of public moneys" As
the ministry only shirked and evaded the
more serious charges, and only partially
answered, or tried lamely to explain away
the rest, they may be held to be convicted
of precisely those crimes which the Adser-
tiser says were not proved. They are
proved if a Report of a Committee of the
House and the comments thereon, unan-
swered and unanswerable, may be held to
prove anything. Indeed, their own apollo
gists only strengthen the proofs. The de
Tense by the Attorney General of the
Cabinet Resolution only went to fortify
the impression that the Minister of Fl
nance had misled his colleagues in the
Cabinet as to the whereabouts of trife
of S36O,OOO.
The wholesale transfers from one de
partment to another are proved to have
been made, and need no proof of Illegal
lty. The position of the Ministry is a6so-
lutely worse than when they began their
defense. Neither the Auditor General or
any one on his behalf has challenged the
report of the Finance Committee. which
states that instances of his violation of
Section Is of the Auditors Act could be
multiplied I'D il.faituu. and that sufficient
has been proved to convince the House
that the prolongation of the present oc-
cupant IN the office of Auditor General
would be detrimental to the best interests
Of the country" and yet the official in
question was one of the ragged regiment
who helped to save the sorely battered
ministerial forces. Now says the 4duertiser.
let us set down patiently to another two
years of Gibson, Hayselden & Co.: no
more fawning by orators and newspapers:
let the lion OF waste, unlawful and extraya-
giant expenditure lie down in peace out
side the lamb ike taxpayer.
1t may be, probably Is true. that not
vote was changed by oratorical efforts.
The votes of the twenty-one were based on
principle independent of oratory and those
of the twenty five by reasons more weighty
and tangible than any that oratory could
supply.
