FRIDAY, AUGUST 20.
ne House met at 10 A. NJ.

The House met at 10 A. NJ.
After prayer by the Chaplain, the
minutes of the preceding day We're
read and adopted.
Mr.. Dole presented the report of
the Judiciary Committee on the bill
to amend the Penal Code in relation
to the law of libel. The committee
consider that it is ineXpedient, as
the bill proposes, to introduce the
offence of slander into the law of
libel, as that is already provided for
in the Code. They regard the
sections pertaining to SANDER of the
sovereign, particularly that which
prevents a defendant in suit for
slander of the sovereign from plead
ing the truth of his statements, as
being derogatory to the dignity Of
the sovereign and contrary to the
constitution. They therefore recon-
mended that the bill be laid upon the
table.
Mr.. Rowell moved that the report
be adopted, and Mr.. Kaulukou that
it be considered with the bill to-day.
Mr.. Kaulukou's motion was lost
and Mr.. Rowel's carried, in each
case by the casting vote of the
President.
Mr.. kaulukou moved for 4 sus-
pension of the rules to allow him to
report verbally from the Select Com
mittee upon the police bill and re-
ports, which was lost.
Mr.. Rowell presented the report
Of the Select Committee on the bill
to provide for the inspection of
steam boilers, 1t provides for a
boiler inspector, to be paid by fees
up to the amount of --- per annum,
the balance of fees collected to be
placed in the treasury. The fees
we're TO be rs follows :-S25 for
boilers of steamers of 100 tons, and
3 cts. for each additional ton; $40
for land boilers up to 20 horse
power; So for 20 up to 80 horse
power; 500 from 80 to 100 horse
power.
Mr.. Dole moved that the bill be
indefinitely postponed. Although a
great deal of science had been ex-
pended upon the bill, yet he believed
it would put great burden upon
the country. He believed it would
cause more accidents than now hap

THE ORGANS NEW TUNE.

The Government organ is growing
desperate in its efforts to recover its
lost estate OF responsibility. Through
its own recklessness it has miserably
failed in even making friends of the
mammon of unrighteousness, so that,
when thrust out by every decent
element of the community, it finds
itself a lone star of wretchedness in
tue vasty void of outer darkness.
Leaving aside the disgust Of leading
members of the Opposition at find
ing themselves eulogi2ed by the
organ---a case of the cur fawning at
the foot that kicked it--one Of those
gentlemen must chuckle right down
to his boots at being praised for
keeping aloof from Il transaction in
which he was really the most con-
spicuOus offender. Mr.. Richard
son--we beg pardon for the necessity
of naming him--entered the House
yesterday morning when his presence
made quorum available, and the
easy passage of the iniquitous In
demnity Bill practicable. The Min
ister of Foreign Affairs fastened out
to call in the Minister of the Interior,

why THE KING SHOULD BE DISCUSSED.
s. NJ. DAMON.

In reply to Mr.. Damon's straight
forward letter, we thank him for the
compliment therein contained. and
believe him to honestly differ in opin-
ion with us as to the proper course
to be pursued concerning this
matter
With regard to Mr.. Damon's first
proposition. that Hawaiian cti-
quettc and the customs of all mo-
narchical states forbid that the chief
of the state should enter the news
paper arena" &c. That is to say,
because of an abstract propriety,
involving no principle in its breach,
therefore, a public journal whose
prime duty it is to defend the pub
lie interests, and to speak plainly
and honestly upon all matters af-
fecting the public welfare, is to re-
main blind and dumb concerning
the most vital question which this
community has to deal with, and on
the solution of which the very exist
encc of the nation depends.
1t has happened ere this that the
vindication of rights and the reform
of abuses has occasioned a breach
of etiquette, and an infringement of
the propricteS. 1t was an unheard
Of breach Of etiquette when the
Barons forced Magma Charta from
John, Sovereign of England. 1t
was against all proprieties when the
English colonies in l77G, declared
that they would no longer obey their
lawful Sovereign. 1t was treason
and disloyalty. Does Mr.. Damon
wish that those old English patriots
had maintained scrupulous regard
for etiquette? Does he wish that
the colonies had observed the pro-
pricties and remained loyal?
1t has happened ere this, that
loyalty to the King has meant dis
loyalty to the country; and dis
loyalty to the liking has meant
loyalty to the county; and be it
loyalty or be it disloyalty we main
tain and ever shall maintain that
our loyalty is due first to the coun-
try, and second to the countries 5
chief representative.
Concerning Mr.. Damon's second
proposition, that "to discuss His
Maiesty's supposed acts, is not only
to throw a slur upon him, but to
cast lasting stain upon the people. :"
That is TO say, a plain unvarnished
statement of the truth concerning
the King and his acts, for Mr.. Da-
mon is arguing upon the permissi-
bility of any discussion of him, is
equivalent to casting slur upon
him, and lasting stain upon the
The Daily bulletin. [volume] (Honolulu [Hawaii]) 1882-1895, 1884-08-29

items--as far as he could recall,
$1,000 or thereabouts expended for
leper settlements more than had been
appropriated. Surely the Lcgisla-
ture intended them to complete that
work. Could it be said that was as
bad us money alicnatcd from its OH
ject? More money was expended
upon the insane asylum and support
Of prisoners, and other items, than
the appropriations. Yet he would
consider it reprehensible of the Min
isters to have stopped those services.
He joined with others in supporting
the amendment of the honorable
noble.
Mr.. Bishop said His EXcellency
spoke of money for schools being
expended for something else. He
did not remember of that. but cer-
tainly it was done by the present
Government. The Ministers started
in with larger receipts than ever
before, but the treasury had been,
during part of the period, practically
bankrupt The Board Of Education
could not get money because il was
used for something else.
The amendment passed, and also
the bill as amended.
An Act to repeal an Act to provide
for lighting the city of Honolulu
with gas was read third time and
indefinitely postponed.
An Act to amend the liquor law
was read a third time.
Minister Ncumann moved an
amendment to make wholesale
licenses $3.50 as before instead of
$500, and to raise the bond from
ol,UOU 10 SZ,OUU.
The amendment was lost ard the
bill passed.
The House took recess from IL
to 80.
a quorum was only obtained with
great difficulty after recess at 10
minutes to two.
The Act to amend the Civil Code
relating to victualling houses was
read third time, and, on motion of
Mr.. j. Mott Smith, indefinitely post
poned.
An Act relating to communica-
tions with foreign countries, requir-
ing such to be written in both lam
guages, was read third time and,
on motion of Minister Neumann,
indefinitely postponed.
The table being cleared, the House
adjourned at 2 O. clock until 10 o clock
tomorrow.

suspicious position of being in the

not beholden TO the organ for the

THB LEGISLATURE

I'LL hhGlNhA
THURSDAY, Aueusr 28.--Continucd.
Mr.. Bishop said it was intended
by the constitution, the laws and the
practice Of the country that no
money should be put aside in bank
or elsewhere. The money having
been once in the hand OF the Minis
ter he might as well have deposited
il in his own safe as anywhere else.
Article 10 of the Constitution shows
how strict the Legislature should be
in the matter Of appropriations. 1t
provides very carefully and specifies
certain contingencies for which
money might be appropriated and
that detailed account of it should
be rendered to the Legislature. Here
has been a large amount set aside
for some purpose and no detailed
account has been rendered. lie
believed it was money which properly
belonged to roads and bridges. The
road tax had been paid into the
Treasury, and the law says that
money shall be expended in districts
where it is collected, for improve
m.nt of the roads. There was not
enough money in the Treasury to
put aside this large sum without
using that money, and in that way
preventing its use in those districts
where it belonged Certainly the
Government had no right to use this
road money whatever right they had
to money in the general fund. There
was plenty Of warning at the last
Legislature to have deferred the
Minister from any action OF that
sort. Transfers to a certain extent
were really beneficial to the country,
but the system finally grew into an
abuse. Some of the gentlemen in
the present Government were very
strong in their condemnation Of the
former Ministry, and took great
credit for striking out the transfer
section from the Appropriation Bill
1t was less Objectionable to him,
however, to have reasonable trans
fers than the taking Of 50 much
money without any appropriation
whatever. 1t would be remembered
by some who were in the last Legis-
lature that there was an attempt
made to put a clause in the Auditors
Act that should allow transfers. The
Legislature struck that out, showing
that the intention was to hold the
Government to very strict account
in eXpending public moneys and pre-
vent them being used for any other
purpose than as provided in the
Appropriation Bill. There were
some parts of this Indemnity Act
for which he would be very willing
to vote if it were considered item by
item, but as whole he should be
obliged to vote against it,
Minister Gibson recalled to mind
the honorable noble's reference to
last session, and said he was one of
the Ministers who desired and advo-
Gated that provision should be made
for transfers. lie was certainly OPP
posed to anything that would defeat
the purpose of the Legislature. He
thought it was defeating the purpose
Of the Legislature when money ap-
propriated for hospitals was ex-
pended upon the palace; when
money appropriated for education
was expended upon the military, and
money intended for completing
road was applied for completing n
statue. In transfers Of that kind
the intention, the purpose, the will
Of the Legislature was completely
defeated. Take now one of these

Hawaiian people We admit Mr.
Damon's statement to be correct. In
fact we admit more than that. Were
the whole truth to be laid bare. it
would not be q Sl,tr, but it would be
ono of the strongest arraignments
ever presented against sovereign.
But because there is an ulcer in the
political bosom, would Mr.. Damon
leave it to tester, and spread its
rottenness to parts yet uninfccted?
Would he clasp it to his breast and
attempt no cure? Does he think
that it is less Of stain on those
who Loyalty love Hawaii to know of
this stain, and to say not a word
and raise not hand for its eradica-
tion than to know of it and trv to
remove it ?
We say that if the Kings acts
are such that statement Of the
truth concerning them is stain
upon the Hawaiian people, then all
the more necessary is it that the
truth should be known; for hiding q
sore never cured it, and the non
exposure of wrong never made q
right. 1t will be more Of stain
upon the Hawaiian people if knowing
the facts they do nothing to correct
the evil.
Lastly in regard to Mr.. Damon's
third proposition that the discussion
of the King is a forsaking of the
principles Of the Independent party,
in that it admits that responsibility
can be transferred from the Repre-
scntatives of the people and the
Ministers of the crown, to the
throne.
Upon this we take issue with Mr..
Damon. No! 1t is not in abandon
mcnt of those principles but in
pursuance of them, that we openly
discuss the Kings acts. If he has
trodden the Constitution under foot
and ignored ministerial rights and
responsibility have we not the right to
discuss his actions! If he defies alike
public opinion and the opinion of
Representatives of the country, and
governs the appointment and dis
missal of Cabinets by his own irres-
ponsiblc will, instead of by the will
of the people have we no right to
object?
If he ignores the constitutional
provision that the Legislative and
the Executive shall ever be main
tained separate and distinct,
and personally participates
in the elections for Representatives,
under the claim that he has a right
so to do, it is not our duty to discuss
such acts and protest against, and
denouncc them!
Does Mr.. Damon think that it
would be maintenance of the
principles which he refers to, to sit
silently by, and not protest against
such Il subvcrsion of constitutional
liberties: Does he consider that
demand that these principles shall.
be enforced, is an abandonment of
them, and that a silent acquiesence
in the breach of those principles is
the proper method of advocating
and enforcing them?
We maintain that if we are TO
accomplish Il reform of the present
abuses in the Government, it is to
be by earnest work and plain state
ments of the truth, whether such
statements and such work fall within
or without the lines of abstract
etiquette.
We cannot think that Mr.. Damon
has properly considered the logical
result of his propositions, although
we do not doubt the sincerity of his
motives or his loyalty to the country.

HENDRICKS IN 1864.

The Democratic papers and speakers
are trying to make out that Thomas A..
Hendricks, the Democratic nominee for
Vice President, was a patriot during the
recent unpleasantness with their south
ern brethren, and warm personal
friend of the lamented Lincoln. We are
not at all surprised that they are
ashamed of his record, just as they are
of the record of the party, and are anx-
ious to cover it up and hide it from the
gaze of the rising generation. The fol-
lowing is the matter on a poster an
nouncing Mr.. Hendricks as a speaker at
political meeting twenty years ago.
We would call particular attention to
the remarkable evidence OF Mr.. Hen
bricks being bosom friend of Abraham
Lincoln:
DEMOCRATIC MASS MEETING.
Hon. Thomas A. Hendricks will ad.
dress the people Of Jackson ana adjOin-
ing counties at Seymour, Ind, Wednes-
day, September II, 1864, at 10 o'clock.
Let all who favor peace, all who desire
to be free from the death grip Of this in
famOusly wicked, imbecile and tyranni-
cal administration. its arbitrary and
illegal arrests and its drafts aud con-
scription laws, by which peaceful citi-
zens are dragged from their homes and
all the endearmsnts Of domestic life to
butcher and be butchered, come out and
hear the advocate of peace and reunion.
Come in wagons, come on horseback,
come by railroad aud on foot. Bring,
your neighbors, and especially your rea.
SOnable Republican neighbors, who are
seeking the truth. Bring your baskets
well filled with something to eat. Other
able speakers will be in attendance.
Ladies especially invited.
IL possible arrangements will be made
with the railroads to carry half fare.
Jackson Union print, Aug. 49, 1864.
Mr.. Hendricks friends DO not an
nounce his ceming in that style, now-a-
days; aud yet il is doubtful if he has
eyer seen the error of the views which
he then held, and so freely aud vigorous
ly expressed.
