The Board of Trustees of the Planters
Labor and Supply Company, have expires.
sed their belief that United States gold
currency Is now essential to the financial
welfare of this kingdom The Board OF
Trustees include representatives of the
houses Of Hackfeld 4 Co, Brewer & Co.
Castle q Cooke and Schaefer q Co.
1t seems to be generally understood that
o. Hall q Son, and Henry May, as well as
the bank of Bishop q Co, and the houses
of /. H Davies Il Co, and Dillingham; &
Co. coincide with this view, but until
those gentlemen shall think fit to make
public announcement of their wishes con
corning currency, it would be premature
to rely upon them.
That the house of Irwin q Co. which
was instrumental in bringing the recent
silver coin into the country. will oppose
any change to a United States gold cur
rency, and that those who are concerne ed
with them in business, will follow their
lead, may, we suppose, be regarded as a
matter of course.
The Minister of Finance and for aught
we know, our theological contemporaries,
who do not like personal discussion in pol
tics may if they chose, rank the adhe-
rents of a gold currency among 1.-The in
ternal enemies of the country 1t is even
thought by many, that the pride which the
King and his family take in a Hawaiian
coinage will disincline them to the pro
posed change We think better of the
Kings good sense and public spirit, than
to believe that his course will be governed
by such paltry consideration. If he is
once satisfied, that with a United States
gold currency, the country can be freed
from the present incubus of unfavorable
exchange, and be permanently free from
the control of those who hold the bulk OF
the sugar consignments, he will not hest
tate. And moreover a Hawaiian coinage is
as well maintained with the S35O,0O0 or so
of silver coin, which is all that is required
Tor subsidiary purposes, and with the great
body of the currency in United States gold
coin, as if all the currency We're silver.
Even American silver, as well as British
sovereigns, now command premium here,
six per cent having been offered and paid
for 1t, within the last week. This fact
ought to open the eyes of people

OUR new contemporary, the Daily Horai
ian, appeared on May Day, evidently from
its make up in the charge of men who un
derstand their business. Its principal lit
erary work Is as evidently the work of Z
trained hand. and a gentleman We wei
come him to the ranks of Honolulu Jour
nalism. and are confident that, whether
our views shall or shall not always coin
eide upon questions of public interest. We
shall find in our cotemporary an opponent
able to argue and discuss without loss OF
temper, and with that mutual, social re
gard which softens the asperities of polit
ical debate.
We may be permitted to doubt, however
that he will remain long independent "oi
the two main political parties in these
islands, or that upon experience, he will
abide by his present conviction. that
public discussion has been generally
carried on here from motives of personal
rancorwith desire to exaggerate fancied
grievances, solely for political pur
poses, and to accomplish certain ends and
influence certain measures
That there has been. and is strong
personal distrust of the political integrity
of the present Minister of Foreign Affairs.
and that his general policy and course of
dealing with public affairs has been. and
is condemned by the principal men of the
country. is n fact which requires no proof.
The determined backing which has of late
been given to him by our leading capital
list, has not as far as we can learn. less
ened that distrust or added anything to
the popularity of his supporter.
The discussion at the present session of
the Legislature will probably show whether
the feeling TO which we allude was based
on facts or Imagination

Mn. A. JAEGER's report on the Hawaiian
Nurseries published to-day, will interest a
number of citizens, both in Honolulu and
on the other Islands The development OF
the Forests upon the islands has been rec
ognized by the country at large. 1t Is
slow work however. and takes years fol-
practical results to show. but there is nc
do1bt that with proper care and manage
ment the Hawaiian nation may derive a
revenue, and good revenue from its for.
est lands The Prussian Government in
1881 says Mr.. Jaeger derived an income
of S6,16O,S43 from its forests. Though
Hawaii can hope for no such income as
this, in proportion to its size, it ought tc
make larger income than Prussia, for il
can raise trees whose products are more
valuable in commerce than any trees raised
in the country named
Mr.. Jaeger's report shows upon what
rules he has proceededin the distribution oil
plants from the Government Nursery and
they appear very fair set of rules indeed
1t would be impossible at present to dis
tribute plants indiscriminately The only
thing that can be done at present, is tC
place plants in the hands of those who art
k7torH 10 be willing and able to take care Of
them. The supply in Mr.. Jaeger's hands
Is small and he must use it to the very best
advantage.
1t Is satisfactory TO see that there ha:
been an effort made to improve our sugar
canes The Report says that from Is t.
20 varieties, new to the islands, have beer
distributed among y plantations This
Is really good work. 1t is the kind of worl
which has been done in the older sugsn
growing islands, such as Barbados, and
systematic experiments in this direction
ought to have been undertaken here year.

The Report makes some good sugges

to us, however, not to go far enough Tn,
land planted in trees should be fenced

FoUR hundred and thirty eight dollars
for carriages for conveying the members
of the Legislature to the races on the 18th
of June, 1882, was rather a steep bill. The
account does not say how many carriages,
if our recollection serves us there were 16.
but say about 20, at SO apiece, and they
ought not TO have been charged more, that
would amount to just $500. The thing Is,
Of course, a small matter but it points
to general carelessness. The present
Legislature is of a more economical turn

MAJOR BENDER has presented letter to
the Minister of Interior ON the subject of
the Honolulu water supply. II by no
means puts the subject definitely before
the public, but we expect that before the
vote is passed by the Legislature more ex-
act information will be offered Major
Bender roughly estimates the cost of prop
erly preparing for a supply of water. at
S200,000. OF course before any such sum
is voted, our Legislature viii need to be
thoroughly acquainted with the Majors
plans. SO important matter requires
full consideration and we trust that the

problematical. The law of 1870 was strict
and divorces have gone on steadily increas-
ing. There is a good suggestion with regard
to the Commissioners of Private Ways and
Water Rights. The compensation is but
81 a day, and it is difficult to find suitable
people to serve, The suggestion is made
that there should be one well paid Com
missioner in each district. The Report
shows a decrease of criminal cases in
the Supreme Court since the previous
biennial period We should say that If
tie civil cases Of the Government, such as
the Madras and Flowerdew were out, there
has been less work in the Courts for the
Attorney General to do, and that the pres
ent Attorney General has appeared in

Tn Report Of the Minister of Finance,
to which attention was drawn last week.
requires some further notice. We find en-
bodied in it a short report from the Audit
or General, it deals not with any account
OF his audit, but gives short sketch of
the working of the new tax law and table
showing the increase in the value of prop
erty on the Islands. Mr.. Walker makes
two good suggestions as to the working of
the law. He proposes first, that more time
be allowed the tax assessors to perform
their work, and second, that competent
men should be appointed as assessors.
This is most necessary. 1t is to be hoped
that the Minister of Finance, who ever he
may be in the future. will take the hint.
