THE LAWMAKERS.

Mr.. G. B. Palohau's wit and
good natured sallies are very anus
ing.
The sincere Minister of Foreign
Affairs thinks some of the members
are not sincere.
The currency question is piling
in, all in heap. 1t has got too far
beyond the reach of the financiering
Premier.
The Minister of Finance is so
thoroughly ashamed of his report
that he will not distribute the Ha-
waiian version.
Another attack on the Sunday
law is threatened. 1t will be difficult
to convince the native members that
any change is needed. They don't
forget their early teachings, as easily
as some of their fair skinned brothers
seem to.
One of the members, in object
ing to the resolution asking for
$4,000 for the Poola Association,
The Daily bulletin. [volume] (Honolulu [Hawaii]) 1882-1895, 1884-05-21

1t was not enough to introduce
million of silver dollars, which as
Mr.. John T. Waterhouse CORE
spondent i'll San Francisco informs
him arc worth there, "S6 cents for
dollars, and 79I cents for halves" "
The Supreme Court fondly trusted
that the Government would not act
against their ruling that this silver
could not legally be taken for its
gold bonds; but much of it was
taken and bonds were issued for it,
and the country is to pay the loss,
or bear the burden.
The next step is to allow the same
power to issue paper money, or, as
Mr.. Waterhouse well puts it, "It
needs now but paper currency
legalized to confiscate our real estate
and take, marching order" We
will next show how it is that there is
so much reluctance to oppose openly
and on the real grounds, such amaz,
ing encroachment upon the rights
and interests of the community.

A TRIBUTE TO CUSTER BY A MAN WHO
KNEW HIM.

A little flaxen-haired knight errant
who, when he ought to have been
singing love-songs on the Rhine, was
teaching lot of Michigan lumber
men to ride like Centaurs and fight
like devils, and his name was Gen.
G. A. Custer, He was a dapper
little tawny-headed thunder-bolt,
who loved his saber as a nun does
the Virgin Mary, and was never
happy unless he was using it. He
went at fight as if it was a back
woods frolic, and had an infectious
kind of courage like smallpox, and
all of his men caught dangerous
case of it. ] knew him to my sorrow
on the Opequan and at Bunker Hill
and Berryville, Charleston and
Darkesville, and, worst of all, at
Winchester on September 49,, 1864.
Some of our cavalry couldn't or
wouldn't amuse him, and he had to
charge infantry every day or two to
keep his nerves quiet. In my judg-
ment he was the cavalry man of the
war, and worth more to the Union
cause than all the other cavalry
commanders. We learned to know
him and to know his ways in the
Valley of Virginia, even knew the
whistle of the two internal little
pieces of light artillery he had with
his brigade, and we knew that a
braYer man or better soldier never
The Daily bulletin. [volume] (Honolulu [Hawaii]) 1882-1895, 1884-05-21

said that this thing was being carried
too far, we might soon be called on
to contribute to the bald-headed
mems society.
The Attorney General remarks
yesterday i'll the debate upon the
libel law were iniudicious and not
calculated to promote good morals.
No good can result from familiariz-
ing the public with the idea that
private wrongs may be avenged with
the pistol. His remarks did him no
good with the native members.
The Daily bulletin. [volume] (Honolulu [Hawaii]) 1882-1895, 1884-05-21
EXCHANGE.

We declared yesterday that all
must agree that gold is better than
silver, because its purchasing power
is greater, dollar for dollar, and
because it would keep exchange
down to between l and 2 per cent,
or little over the cost of sending
gold to San Francisco. No one
denies, no one can deny these facts.
Who then are they who oppose the
establishment of "a gold currency {?
They are those who wish to control
the business of these islands, and
who now exercise such control over
matters here, that even the King
himself is proclaimed in the news
papers throughout the United States,
as completely under that influence.

THE SUNDAY LAW.

In alluding yesterday to the Sun
day Law permitting certain noisy
demonstration on the Sabbath we did
not intend to imply that the proposed
law expressly provided for such
things, but that under the law such
things could be carried on.
The introducer doubtless did not
mediate this result, but it never
theless was authorized by the bill.
The Daily bulletin. [volume] (Honolulu [Hawaii]) 1882-1895, 1884-05-21
GOLD.

In order to carry the gold law it
must be popularized, as it easily can
be. Let all debts be required to be
paid in gold if over five dollars. Let
small gold be largely introduced.
The retailers who take small amounts,
and pay ont large amounts will then
have no fear of being crowded. We
in tins country are not interested in
using silver currency for the purpose
of utilizing the products of Nevada
silver mines. We have literally no
reason for a silver currency, except
for the convenience of small change.

Referring to the above weibeg to in
form the business public that we are
prepared to make loans, discount approv-
ed notes, and purchase exchange at the

for selling exchange on the principal

will be given. We shall also be prepared
TO receive deposits on open account,

The LEGISLATURE

Is still working on its way, and it
promises to leave mark in the an
mails of this Kingdom, or ut all events
in those of this reign. OF course
we have had the usual proposals for
many-million-dollar loans, petitions
for admitting hahunds to practice
medicine, for setting free and return
ing to mix among the general public
all lepers, at present separated for
safety sake, for postage stamps, etc.,
but on the other side some good
wholesome work. The attempt to
restore to the Supreme Bench the
power of approval of appointments
to the district judiciary, of which
they were unrighteously deprived
two years ago, was unfortunately
defeated by the absence of some and
the fickleness, of other members or
Mobiles who ought to have known
better. But it is to the reports of
the several committees, hindered as
they have been by the stiffness and
dilatory action of officials, that we
look for the thorough exposition of
the last two years government, and
to bills such as those of Mr.. G..
Brown for the registration of Chi
nese, of the same gentleman for the
suppression of infectious diseases
amongst animals, and an increase of
the number of SupremeCourt Justices.
OF the resolution by Mr.. w. o.
Smith to investigate the condition of
the police, and his bill relative to
the discretionary powers of the Min
lister of Interior in granting charters
of incorporation. OF Mr.. Dole's bill
for regulating the sale of spirituous
liquors-and others. OF the ques-
tions asked as to diplomatic, and
more especially financial proceedings
of the Ministry, to which we hope
full and explicit answers may be ex-
torted, in spite of shufflings and
evasions, to these and similar Bills,
Resolutions and Questions we look
for the good work of this session of
1884. We hope that the investiga-
tions of every Committee may be
exhaustive, and its report strictly in
accord with the evidence laid before
it, without fear or favor. That the
Appropriation Bill be judiciously
scanned, and that supplementary
appropriations proposed by indivi-
dual members for the supposed bene-
fits of their own districts be narrowly
watched over. On the whole, the
very composition of this House
cannot fail to make it's mark in the
Legislative history of the country,
and we hope that no small differ
ences of opinion may clog the wheels
of such powerful reforming agency
as the present House contains.

ton signed by six boarding house

munity and is likely to do so for
some time to come. He had been
waiting forit to come up, and thought
it better to tackle it now apd not put
off the matter for one single hour.
The bill was finally referred to a
select committee of seven, appointed
by the President as follows: Messrs.
j. Mott Smith, Chairman, S. B.
Dole, S. G.. Wilder, Attorney Gen
eral, Minister of Finance, Frank
Brown and j. Richardson.
Minister of Finance gave notice of
a bill to amend Section 5, relating
to currency.
Mr.. Kauwila, a resolution that IS
be refunded one Papa, for taxes paid
twice. Referred to Finance Com
mittee.
Mr.. Baker, that $4,000 be appro-
priated for the assistance of certain
native societies.
Mr.. Nawahi moved it be indef-
nitely postponed. If this House
gives it one society it will have to
give to them all. We shall be having
a bald-headed society coming in for
assistance. The bill was indefinitely
postponed.
Mr.. Cecil Brown gave notice of a
bill to incorporate an Institution to
be known as the Hawaiian National
bank.
Mr.. Amara gave notice of bill
to amend Section 1447 Civil Code.
Mr.. Keau, that $500 be appro-
priated for laying water pipes to
Iwilei. Referred to Committee on
Internal Improvements.
Mr.. Palohau moved the order of
the day. Carried.
Second reading of an Act to amend
Section 8, Chapter 80 of the Penal
Code, relating to libel, introduced
by Mr.. w. o. Smith.
Mr.. Palohau said newspapers pub
lished things which amounted to
libel. The papers had said he had
been drinking gin, and he hadn't,
that was libel.
Mr.. Widemann said he had never
heard of an Imprisonment for libel
since he had been in the country.
Some men published libels under
assumed names, if they were only
caught, they ought to be scorched.
He moved indefinite postponement.
Mr.. Dole said the amendment is
simply to give the discretion into the
hands of the Court. Noble Wide
mann had said he had never heard of
| anyone being convicted of libel. If
the amendment is not passed the
honorable member will never hear OF
one.
Mr.. Widemann said the law was
unnecessary as there had been no
convictions, and more than that its
of no use.
The Attorney General thought the
law should be amended but not as
proposed. In the States the law was
quite different, there people have
been killed for libel. The papers
here are decent but it is not so in
other countries. He quoted a case
which occurred some time ago in
San Francisco where an editor pub
llshed libel and was shot right down,
the man who shot him being ac-
quilted. 1t is not necessary for that
to occur here. The bill was finally
referred to the following Select Com
mittee: Messrs ". o. Smith, Palo-
hau, c. Brown, Attorney General
and Kauwila.
Mr.. Pilipo, chairman of Printing
Committee reported the bill relating
to Intoxicating liquor had been
printed. Ordered to be distributed.
