THE LOYAL OPPOSITION :?

We shall not be at all aStoniShed if
The additions made to the Appropria-
tion Bill will not, unless soon checked,
more than balance the reductions. If
getrench ment is honestly meant, this
deducting fifty cents and slapping on
dollar and u half is absurd and
trifiing. IF it is to be economy let US
have it, but if the Legislature rattles
ahead as if the whole matter was
nothing but wind, that tOrchlight pro-
cession might just as we'll have been
postponed. And, by the way, when
we look back on that event, we are
inclined to believe that some of our
friends of the Opposition feel that they
made mistake. They hoped that
His Majesty's message had 81 deeper
significance than general reduction
of salaries, beginning with his own,
and when they discovered that it was
simply a patriotic, and non-political
document, and that the Cabinet was
not smashed the next day, they were
filled with anguish, which has been
escaping in regular instruments in
the Bulletin every evening since that
brilliant display. His Maiesty's
"loyaI Opposition is getting less
loyal every day. or, at least, the pre-
tended loyalty of the torchlight even
ing has been put aside. They are now
endeavoring to render useless His Ma
jesty's recommendations, and when
one item is cut out, larger one is
added. This is unfair and unbecom-
ing. If the Legislature intends to
fritter away its time in this manner,
persists in distractions, the sooner
that body adiourns the better.

a MUCH FELT WANT.

The Board of Immigration, which
I has done so much for the labor inter
ests of these islands, might, we think,
find time TO turn it's attention to the
importation of some pretty servant
girls. They are not as numerous as
they might be i'll this city, where we
have so many beautiful homes, nest
ling in their wealth of tropical shade
trees. No one who has an eye for the
beautiful will have in tastefully
furnished house an old or ill-favOred
female domestic. Such a person is a
reprOach to paintings, fresco, furni-
ture and brio -a-brac. a neat, tidy,
rosy, plump servant girl, as near the
pattern of a Vatican Shepherdess as
it is possible to get her, will add i'm
mensely to the decorative art charac-
ter of the house. IF the husband have
an artist soul there is never any
harm in his placing his hand on
Mary's arm and saying to her in q
voice low and harmonious, also to
suit the furniture: ''Stand, my dear,
so, your back to those crimson cur
tains, and your face towards yon gilt
dodo. That will do nicely" and
then he falls back few PAGES and ad-
mires the effect. MARY, my child
(in his love for the beautiful he sinks
all distinctions of rank 'tyour chin
is too low to harmonic with that
bronze stork," and with his finger
and thumb he arranges the blooming
Mary's chin at the correct angle, and
again retires to decide if the pose is
in any way defective. Probably a
discordant line in Mary's drapery
catches his eye, and he composes it;
and if at this moment his wife enters.
and she is of the truly aesthetic type,
she falls into his arms and they are
both utterly and chaotically rhapso-
died at the charming picture the
pretty servant girl makes, standing
out from background of storks,
dodos, and bric-a-brac. But if the
wife is not of this type, but unfortu-
nately happens to be Philistine of
a severely practical turn of mind,
she may enter forcible and possibly
striking objection to the drapery part

MORE POLITICAL ECONOMY i.

Our esteemed contemporary, the
Hua0a5iGn, grows more illogical every
day. In Wednesday evenings issue
it devotes an article to Colonel
Spreckels, and says that it does not
matter whether the Colonel has four
or forty millions invested in these
islands. We think it matters a gl eat
deal The H0,Ooii0n has talked in
cessantly about the rights of tax
payers, and the say they should have
in this Government. Yet in this
same article it assures us ''We can
not conceive why or how Mr..
Spreckels should have any more
voice in the conduct OF the affairs
OF this Kingdom than the humblest
Chinaman who is raising bananas on
the road to Waikiki" Now this is
absurd. The Chinaman on the
Waikiki road, might, it is true, own
stock in the HaaUoijan, and also run
his plantation on shares, but what
could his interest in these Islands
weigh against a capitalist like Col
onel Spreckels, who has his millions
invested here. Therefore why should
he not have more influence? Is 1T not
to his concern to see matters, imam
cial and political, moving smoothly
and prosperously. The Chinaman on
the Waikiki road is, of course, en-
titled to his share of ''say so" in COM
mon with every property owner, but
the larger the taxpayer, the more
important to him must be the well
fare of that community where his in
terests lie, and the stronger bis
claims to have direction in its COM
mercial affairs.

ON VIRTUE.

1t is pleasant to turn awhile from
the exciting field of politics to dis
cusson of the Christian virtues. The
truly pious man, beholding the
steamer depart, and hearing the
sweet strains of the Hawaiian band
expire on the midsummer air, will
cast away for a brief period all
worldly thoughts and ponder on Vir-
tue. There is much highly sug-
gestive of virtue in this harmoni-
Gus and closely-linked community.
Over twenty-one hundred miles away
saloons are kept open all night; and
prayer-meetingS are seldom held over
once a week, the pious Hawaiian
NAV feel that he is singularly free
from many of the gilt-edged tempta-
tiOns which aSsail his less fortunate
brothers. If the devil should tempt
him to banker after a game of that
abomination of Satan-f -ffteen-ball
pool-and the clock should mark five
minutes past IL P. M, he knows he is
saved, for these haunts of the evil one
are shut up, and therefore, for that
night at least, his soul is clear of the
vice of gambling. There are no faro
banks with their vile and scandalous
attractions, to induce him to back the
Jack and take the King to lose, in
the wretched slang of those debased
men who run the game. Indeed we

A SCANDALOUS POLICY.

The Bulletin loses no opportunity
to insult His Maj because, we
suppose, he does not immediately in
augurate the radical changes the OPP
position journals are clamoring for. In
reading these violent attacks upon the
head of the Government, one would
be inclined to believe that the Ha-
waiian islands are owned by the gen
tlemen of the Opposition; that the
King is merely here on sufferance;
that the Hawaiians are tolerated by
the mercy of those fiery statesmen,
and that unless matters are shaped to
suit their views precisely, they will
take charge of things themselves, and
send King, Cabinet and native pOpu-
lation to rusticate on the Coast. it
seems 10 us that this is pretty loud
talk for the guests of a nation to in
dulge in. If in early times the party
the Bulletin represents had every
thing their own way, they cannot
expect that these islands should
acknowledge their sovereignty for
ever, and the King and Cabinet
meekly submit to their dictations.
That day is past. 1t will never,
never more return. Cabinets might
be made and broken in a week, and
the King bulldozed and cajoled alter
nately every day in the week, but
the dear old times when this HOW
bitterly disappointed faction, had
these islands by the nose, shall be
seen no more. There is much allow
ance to be made for bitter feelings
under these circumstances, but the
grand old party allow their intense
disgust to run away with their dis
cretion. Abuse of the King will
never put them in power again.
They have fattened on these islands
for many years, and now little
famine will do them good. They
have had their heels on the necks Of
the Hawaiians for nearly half CEN
tury, and now they shonld be salts
fed to allow the native to look
around him and wonder by what right
they exercise this authority, and
weigh them in the scales with
ether men to see if they have
ali these perfect virtues with which
they have accredited themselves. AS
we have often remarked when com
mepting on these slanderous asper-
sions of His Majesty, nothing can be
gained by them; they are indecent
and improper, and there should be
some legal method of compelling
their disconCinuance.

precisely of the nature to be turned
upon those who use it. If lot of
goods are to be got in at nine per
cent. duty instead of ten per cent. by
the extension proposed, so much the
more reason exists why the extension
should not be granted. Even a Ha
waiian Assem- bly, cannot override
treaty rights by its resolutions. AS
we have said before, our business men
had better settle down to the "gold
basis they have so much professed
to covet, at once, and not wait for the

RETRENCHMENT.

The various votes If money made
last Tuesday in committee on
the Appropriation Bill Offer evidence
to the country of the sincerity of the
representatives OF the people when
they talk about the necessity for re-
trenchment. Each man seemed ready
to help the other, and, in the course
of couple of hours, they voted about
as much money as the retrenchments
announced by the Government are
intended to save.
The question arises, is this really a
time for retrenchment in public
works? We have dull times before
us. Private individuals have got to
retrench. No option remains to them.
And, as a natural consequence, we
already hear about people being out
of work, artisans and others, whose
occupations are usually carried on in
towns. There will be more of this,
and it is a great question whether the
best policy for the country is not
rather to launch out in such works as
will keep our present population en-
ployed, rather than drive men away
bringing Government work to
stand-still

of the picture. Cynical bachelors
may sneer at this picture of domestic
happiness, but in our minds it is the
nearest approach to the millennium
that has ever come under our notice.
A pretty servant girl, and permission
to give her an innocent advice at
any hour of the day, should induce
every man to cultivate the domestic
virtues, forswear club and card-rooms,
keep at home, and live a pious eN-
ample to his neighbors and the rest of

THE GOLD DUTY QUESTION.

The Assembly passed a resolution
last week recommending the Minister
of Finance to postpone till 1st Sep
tember the collection of Customs
duties in gold. 1t is hardly likely
that the Cabinet will boldly break
faith with the United States Govern
ment by complying with the resolu-
ton. The strongest accusations that
have ever been brought against the
Gibson Ministry do not include any
thing so foolish or so dishonest as
such an act would be. So far as we
can make it out, the reason for this
move on the part of few business
men to which the Assembly so blandly
lent itself is the expected ARRIVAL
during the coming month OF three or
four cargoes, on large part OF when
duties are payable. This reason Is

THE suicide cf Tong Kim is an
awful illustration of the danger of
having two wives, or we should say
two wives in the same town. If
Tong Kim had been fond of life, or
had he any knowledge of the philoso-
ply of life, he would have had some
miles of territory dividing the one
from the other. The jury returned a
verdict that financial difficulties led
to his taking of, but nothing can
convince US that the two wives were
not the main factors in his plunge
into the unknown.

made, or, we should say, that an
tempt was brewing TO introduce
Faro Bank Charter Bill, but fortu-
nately its promoters hesitated at the
last moment to shock the moral sense
of the community. Our upright, en-
terprIsing, ,and untrammeledc cotempo-
rary, which "killed the Bank Charter
Bill" with its little gun, would have
shattered this Faro Bank business to
atoms at one discharge. However,

sented, and the names of those who
were at it's back, out of respect for q

gentlemen. we shall not make public.
1t is common complaint that one
finds it difficult to occupy the leisure
time in Honolulu. There is no neces-
sitv for This. Contemplation of the
virtues is a mentally profitable and
delightful method of consuming time.
There is charity. All what an abun-
dance of charity we have here in
Oahu, latitude 2I.20 North. What
does st. Paul say "Though / speak
with the tongues of men and angels,
and have not charity, L am become as
sounding brass or tinkling Gym BALI
Now charity is not declaring to the
brother who is afflicted with griev-
Gus sores 81 pity you, brother"
1t is the going down in the
pocket, and giving him either the
American dollar or its Hawaiian
equivalent. Charity of speech is the
doctrine this journal is laboring to in
culcate, because sore-eyed men do
not roam about the streets asking
aims, but are put away in the hos
pitfalls. We, who are deeply imbued
with Christian feeling, should be most
careful, that while we comply with
the outer demands of our faith, we are
not led into the grievous sin of Civ
ing an erring neighbor moral black
eye, or allowing anything like bitter
ness or malignancy to get a lock-hold
on our natures. We must learn to
speak kindly of all men, lest those
who stand outside the pale OF the
Church might accuse US of insincer-
ity, and falsely blame the system for
the sins of the Individual. These
moral lessons the press of this city
should stand shoulder to shoulder
with the pulpit in losing no OppOr-
tunity to inoulcate. Once, or even
twice u week, we should like TO
see our contemporaries rise above
the consideration of these world
ly matters, and give their subscrib-
ers some sprinkling of honest, sound
doctrine. The ministers of relig-
ion will not, we are sure, disdain
such aid, for when the good seed is
scattered with liberal hand, some of
it will be sure to take root and bring
forth good fruit.

WE have heard an awfully scan
dalous story about a most pious
member Of this community having
been seen on Fort street billing full.
Now, there is no necessity of between
ninety and a hundred pious men
feeling nervous. We preach charity,
we believe in charity, and if every
husband, father, deacon, lawyer, mer-
chant, clerk and capitalist in this
