DUTIES ON THE SPRECKELS COIN.

There is not q particle of doubt
about the law authorizing, duties upon
the Spreckels silver coin. The sole
question is whether it is Government
money, or Mr.. Spreckels. The
United States treaty exampts, ''bul-
lion" from duty. Bullion, according
to Worcester, is (1,) ''gold or silver
in the bar or lump, uncoined gold or
silver;' and (2,) gold and silver
coined or uncoined, but considered
simply as material according to
weight The Spreckel, or Kala-
kaua coin comes under neither Of the
above definitions, it was not i'm
ported with the consular certificates
required for articles claimed to be
duty free. The Act of 1876 declares
that, There shall be levied, collec-
ted and paid upon all silver coins
imported into this Kingdom from
any country with which His Majesty
has not any treaty to the contrary, a
duty of ten per cent. od cotorem.'
Tie Attroney General announced
in the House that Mr.. Dole's OBJ
ject in asking that duties be imposed
on the Spreckels silver coin, was
solely political. Ii he had said that
the object of the Ministry was neither
political nor public, in giving Mr..
Spreckels the contract to introduce
silver coin free of duty, i'll return
for Hawaiian gold bonds, which
they are only deferred from issuing
by the opinion of the Supreme Court
that il would be an illegal issue, and
that this contract was made solely
for the personal advantage Of the
Ministry, to secure Mr.. Spreckels'
backing, at the expense of the public
treasury, then the Attorney General
would have hit the mark.

the LIBRARY FAIR.

The Library Fair opened yester-
day at p. NJ. as announced, and so
far has been success.
His Majesty, accompanied by Col.
Judd, drove up at 4 p. NJ. and pro-
ceeded to make the tour. A large
assembly of ladies were already there,
and the number of pretty girls and
attractive costumes was something
astonishing, when we consider the
small size of the city. One costume
worn by very small lady, la nor
mande, was specially striking.
On the right rs we entered was
the refreshment room, peculiar for
the number of its seductive vestals,
and no ways behindhand in its other
attractions.
Turning to the left we assembled
the stairway, at the head of which
was the ticket depot, garrisoned
most effectively by Mr.. Marques
and the Reception Committee. Being
aided and abetted by these gentlemen
we proceeded still further and entered
the Fair itself.
The centre of attraction, literally as
well as figuratively was the flower
stand. This appeared to be composed
of native shrubs and ferns, and was
strongly occupied; few passed that
stronghold scathless, Judging by the
number of boquets seenpromenading.
The whole of the stalls were
beautifully decorated, with flags and
flowers.
Their Magesties Queen Emma and
Queen Kapiolani were each in charge
of a stall, and doing most thriving
business.
The Post-Ohice, Fine Art and
fortune telling departments were
judiciously and successfully con-
Quoted, as in fact were all the many
branches of the fair and when We
left in a cheerful spirit but impoyer
ished state of pocket, it was will
the conviction that it had been ;
great very great success.
Nothing will take place this after.
noon, but there will be an entertain
ment this evening.

A QUESTION FOR LAWYERS.

A young husband was seen this
morning, with wildaook in his eye,
consulting lawyer as to whether
the following letter, received at the
Fair Post Office, was libelous:
Lullaby, o, Lullaby
Thus heard a father cry.
Lullaby, o, Lullaby.
The brat will never shut an eye;
Hither come some power divine!
Close his lips, or open mine!

What the devil makes him cry?
Lullaby, o, Lullaby!
Still he stares-I wonder why.
Why are not the sons of earth
Blind, like puppies, from the birth?
Lullaby, o, Lullaby!
Thus hear the father cry:
Lullaby, o, Lullaby!
Dearest, you must come and try!-
AAuSh, vs. iOi hiC'Cy Sdht-
The more sing, the more you wake!
Lullaby, o, Lullaby!
Fie, you little creature, 1ie!
Lullaby, o, Lullaby!
Is no poppy syrup nigh?
Give him some, no give him all,
am nodding to his fall
Lullaby, o, Lullaby!
Two such nights and l shall die.
Lullaby, o, Lullaby!
He'll be bruised, and so will L.
How can | from bed-posts keep,
When Pm waleing in my sleep!
Lullaby, 0, Lullaby!
Sleep his very looks deny
Lullaby, o, Lullaby

Who's that fallen-me or him.

A law should be passed forbid
ding any judge, deputy sheriff, tax
collector OF other person holding a
position of honor or profit under the
Government from sitting in the Leg
islative Assembly, and We should
have less venality, and truer repre-
scntation of the feeling of the coun-
try than we do in q House in which,
out of 28 representatives, 9 arc of
ficers in the present employ of the
Government. and who know that
their bread and butter depends upon
their voting straight.
Make the Office of tax assessor and
collector permanent, dependent upon
good behavior and a proper discharge
of the duties incident to the office,
and we shall not be disgraced with
such tax assessors rs L. Kekoa of Hilo,
nor with such Ministers of Finance
as Jno. Nj. Kopcna, who in defiance
of the well nigh universal protest of
the residents of that district, reap
pointed this same +. Kekoa to the
position of assessor, after his pro-
ceedings of the previous year had
caused an Indignation meeting of tax
payers of the district, and heavy
decrease in the amount of taxes
eventually collected.
Let us nip the system while it is
yet in the bud, and still preserve to
! Hawaii that which has heretofore
been her glory: an honest admins
tration, with an official tenure inde-
pendent of political opinions.

THE spoILs SYSTEM.

- To the victor belongs the spoils''
is the heresy which has made politics
bye word, and well nigh brought
the whole political system into con-
tempt in the United States, and
against which the best men of both
parties are now directing there en-
ergies. 1t was the same in. England,
prior to the great civil service reform;
but now. such a thing rs dismissiug
subordinate public officers for mere
opinions sake would not for moment
be thought of In the United States
also, the system is daily weakening,
and tenure of office is being made to
depend upon fitness for the position
rather than the opinions of the
holder concerning certain of his
superior officers. 1t needs no ar
gument to show that an independent
man, who has the courage to have
and express his own opinions, and
attends faithfully to his business,
is better public officer than Il
subservient man with no opinions but
those which are reflected from his
superior officers. All this is the A.
B. c. of politics, and yet we see
Hawaii starting down the old road
which leads to the destruction of all
honor and decency in politics. This
is illustrated on every hand. The
repeated dismissal from office of
efficient and honorable men for no
other reason than Il difference OF
political opinion with the man who
has chosen to arrogate to himself the
directing of all things in this King
dom, has become Il matter for public
concern. The readiness with which
entire strangers are taken up and
appointed to important offices, with
the object of securing subservient
tools, is another branch of the same
trouble.
Regardless of the experience Of
other nations, and of common sense !;
Regardless Of the traditions of our
own Government, wherein the rule of
tenure has, until the present admin
istration, ever been fitness and eff
cheney, the worst features of the
spOils system are being forced upon
us. The civil service is being de-
hauched and prostituted to the ac-
complishment of the whims and
desires of one man, and that man an
outcast from society, and the fore
runner of iobbery in the conduct of
the government.
The appointing powers have shown
themselves unworthy of the power
and of the trust placed in their hands
by the people. A common instance
of this is the use that is made of the
power in the bestowing of the offices
of deputy sheriffs, district judges,
tax assessors and collectors upon
members of the Legislature.
