The secretary seemed to be respectfully
awaiting his commands. A light-haired,
strongly-built, good-looking young fellow
this secretary, with, perhaps, II fault must
be found with him, rather too heavy jaw,
and too thick throat One would have ex-
pected him to have been found more prof.
cient In athletic sports-in the huntingfield,

secretary, but Sir Richard, but little given
to praise, had pronounced him Invaluable.

here they are"
Give ii to me-"
Sir Richard took 1t from his hand, and
cast his eyes over the column the secretary
had pointed out, then was about to fold the
paper up, and put 1t in his pocket, when
Craven interposed:
II beg pardon, sir. That is the copy Of
the Times that you usually file. Oddly
enough there does not appear to be any 9TH
er paper in the room. But il you will select
any particular mani suppose they are all
about alike-I will write his address down
In moment"
Take the first. What does he say?'
Craven read aloud:
"GRIPPER'S SECRET INVESTIGATION OF
FIcE, No. /, Charing Cross.-Mr Gripper,
late Of the Rue Mouchard, Paris, and OF
ScOtland-yard, London, may be privately
consulted in all cases of crime, casualty, or
misfortune. The utmost secrecy preserved,
and no steps taken without full authority OF
employer. Much domestic unhappiness has
been ayerted by the system adopted by Mr..
Gripper."
ut would seem from this persOn-Grip-
per is his name-Mr. Gripper's experience
that it was, as rule, advisable to hush up
a crime as soon as Its perpetrator is discov-
ered," said Sir Richard.
" would seem so, replied the secretary
quietly. Shall read the others?"
mo, that will do. Gripper, No. l, Char

Sir Richards brougham had for some time
past been waiting without In three min
utes time he had taken his seat, giving d.
rections to be driven TO Charing Cross. Mr.
Craven, the secretary, watching his depart
ure from the study window, repeated me
chemically the last words of the advertise
ment:
"Much domestic unhapplness has been
ayerted by the system adopted BY Mr.. Grip /
per-"
In this case too, thus far, at least scandal
and disgrace would appear to have been
postponed.

SAMPLE.

\ fair sample of the amount of
care bestowed upon affairs of state
by the Turkey Cabinet is seen in the
blundering of the Minister of Finance
in submitting an item for the Oceanic
Steamship subsidy, in Committee of
the Whole on the Appropriation Bill.
Only the vigilance of member of
the House prevented the voting Of
three months more subsidy to the
Pet Company than it would be
entitled tC at the close of the biennial
period. Perhaps. however. it would
be more just to the Ministry to
charge Them with being too careful
in this case-not of the interests of
the country but of those of the
Dictator. They are certainly more
generally known as rogues than fools,
and remorse only stings then for the
crime of being found out in their
dark games. The bit of by-play, in
in which one Minister moved an
amendment to another ones motion
in the case in hand and then refused
to accept the with drawal of the main
motion, was played with. all the bor-
rowed innocence of native. Such
scene presented by the Cabinet of
any country on earth, having any
thing better than Constitutional
Government on paper, would bring
down upon the actors avalanches of
contempt from the whole state.
What can be expected of Cabinet
of puppets administering the DEGREES
of a alien dictator in the name of
so-called constitutional monarch?

PERSONALITIES.

The circumstances under which u
public journal is justified in dis
cussing a mans private character,
are well defined. An employer al
ways has a right to know the char
acter of servant. in so far as the
character affects the performance of
the servants duties. Public officers
are public servants, and the pubic
their masters, have the right to
know what their characters are.
Every public officer. and every can
didate for public office. is supposed
to be possessed of the necessary
qualifications to fill that office, and
to have n character that will stand
criticism, If he is not qualified to
fill the office, or if his character will
not bear criticism, the public should
be made aware of the fact. 1t is not
only the right but it is the duty of
every public journal to keep the
public informed on matters affecting
the general welfare, whether such
information may injuriously affect
the particular individual commented
upon or not.
A public journalist who is true to
his duty will never attack the chacter
of private citizen, when no public
good will be subserved thereby and
on the other hand, he will not allow
improper conduct on the part of
officials, or the attempted appoint
ment of improper persons to office,
to go uncommented upon, by reason
of personal regard for the delin-
quent or candidate. A public jour
nalist does not cut loose from in
dividual friendship, but if trne to
his post he subordnates it to the
rights and claims of the public.
SO long as the BULLETIN remains
under its present management, it
will continue to openly and fairly
express its opinions concerning every
thing which the public have right
to know, and everybody in whose
conduct the public have legitimate
interest. without fear or favor.

proper man to occupy such position,
and it so stated in unmistakable
language, for plain reason plainly
stated. There was no impeachment
of Captain Ilayley's honesty or the
correctness of his accounts. What
the Bulletin has to say it says with
out insinuation. What it says now
is that Captain Ilaylcy is not a proper
person for the Office mentioned, and
that when lie is publicly advocated
for the position, it is the duty of Il
public journal to interfere in behalf
of the public.

the BULLETIN" AND CAPTAIN
HAylEy,

The Hd,caiidn makes some wild
statements concerning the BULLETINS
discussion of Captain Hayley's fit
ness for a position on the police
force. The editor of the Haaoaiidn
has evidently allowed his friendship
to run away with his discretion, The
situation is this. Captain Hayley's
name was prominent on the streets
as a candidate for the office of Mar
shall. The HdwdiidR came out with
a leading editorial, lauding him, and
commencing him for his particular
fitness for position on the police
force. The BULLETIN has reason TO
know that Captain Hayley is not a

has voted the opposition ticket

Ministers expect to retain majority

radical change in the hash house bill

to be mortgaged to raise the gravy.

Minister Neumann said there was
enough work accumulated now TO
take competent man two years to
do. If the honorable member for
Lihue (Mr Dole) was TO be his
successor--and he hoped he was, for
he was very able mamie would
very much regret if this assistant
was not appointed As far as
he (the spenkcr) was con-
cerned, the proposed appointment
was not II personal matter with him.
One of the heavy duties Of the
Attorney-GeneraPs office was the
obligation resting upon him to take
M the cases of Hawaiians who
deemed themselves wronged.
Mr.. w. o. Smith said tie latter
was no new thing, that work having
never been neglected by former
Attorneys-General.
Mr.. Nawahi said His ExcellencVp
wanted o first class lawyer, but he
would not get one for 5000 a year.
He had heard the Attorney-General
wanted to 60 to California after the
session. and no doubt it would be n
nice thing for him to have the work
all done for him in his absence. He
did not think the Attorney-General
was much over burdened with Civ
ing assistance to INDECENT Hawaiians.
The hardest work he had was to
give advice to the Cabinet in regard
to resolutions of the Assembly.
On motion of Mr.. Kaunamano
the item was reduced to $4,000, the
motion to strike out being lost.

THE WANING INFLUENCE OF THE Gov
EMINENT HASH HOUSE.

1t is a sad and solemn fact that
the Cabinet has to farce. that the
Ministerial influence is not so potent
as it was. Day before yesterday
the old cock gobbler climbed out Of
bed and into his clothes, and
YEARLY dragged himself into the
House. to vote for favorte's in
crease of salary. but the erst while
lick spittles went off on tangent
and refused to follow suit, and the
poor decrepit old bird had to
smooth down his feathers with the
best grace he could muster, and
crawl off to bed again, defeated.
Again yesterday, the ungrateful
recipients of tax assessorships joined
hands with the vulgar crowd of OPP
positionists, and cut and slashed the
appropriations in the Finance De-
partment without regard to the pro-
tests of the financial head of the
Kingdom. There is reason for all
this, and strong and good reason.
1t is nothing more nor less than the
result of spirit of false economy
which has pervaded the manage
ment of the Government Hash
House, otherwise known as the Hotel
de Gibbe. Earlier in the session, be-
fore the appropriation for inciden-
tails of the Foreign Office had been
cut down. the management were
more liberal minded and treated the
stomachs of the law makers to such
dainties as kidney stew, with plenty
of gravy--gravy is tilling-fried
liver and onions, and when votes of
want of confidence were on hand,
boiled hat-jacks and pork-fat were
served out to the faithful; but re-
Gently this liberal policy has been
changed for one more consistent
perhaps with the size of the afore-
said appropriation, but with fatal
effect upon the digestion and the
votes of the partakers, Tough
beefsteak, with an accompaniment
Of beef stew composed of the
remnants and debris of yesterdays
tough steak, with an abundance of
watery gravy, and bakers bread with
cheap butter, that is dear at any
price, now forms the regulation diet
of the establishment, day in and
week out. The nature Of the LIQUID
refreshments provided has likewise
deteriorated. Instead of good honest
gin, the Legislative digestion is now
mortified with Chinese sam shu and
sweet potato swipes, and member
who took home hottie for an eye
opener in the morning, declares that
even this was watered and tasted of
beefsteak gravy. Now this was all
very yell for short time, but there
is a limit to all things, even to the
powers Of digestion of Hawaiian
Legislator. One member stated
that he saved quarter on the free

soda water to get the taste of stale

Minister Gulick said that to
certain extent the Interior Depart
ment was responsible for there being
no Custom House at Hilo, but an
opportunity had lately presented for
obtaining suitable site and remedy
ing that lack. The necessity for
having Il man who can devote part
of his time to the duties of the Office
is obvious. Anyone would recog-
nize the necessity Of paying suita-
bic salary to have the duties per-
formed in satisfactory shape,
Mr.. Bishop said ships would 90 to
lilo and discharge cargoes whether
there was II Custom House there or
not. There should be an honest
and vigilant officer there to prevent
smuggling. The item in the bill
did not seem to be too large, as the
same man could act as Postmaster,
