Ok Thursday last the Select Committee
appointed under the Chairmanship of Hon.
j. Mott Smith, 10 consider the matter of
subsidies for oceanic telegraph cables, re
ported bill for that purpose.
The first three paragraphs of the report.
recapltulate the proposals made by an
Australian Cable Syndicate" for connect
ing Honolulu with San Francisco, and also
for connecting the various islands of this
group.
The plth of the report however, is in the
fourth paragraph, in which the Committee
says:
1t does not appear probable 10 your committee
mat cable will be laid between San Francisco and
Honolulu except it shall be laid as n mart of cables
winch shall be laid to connect San Francisco with
Australla to the southward or Asia to the west
ward Hence, whatever steps we NAV take TO pro-
mote or encourage cable henoo to San Franciscr,
ana TO hasten the time when such connection NAV
be established, must have reference to ne1Dtia
lons with those foreign cable companies Whicl,
are proposing to connect Australia and Asia with
the coast of the United States"
This is the most important aspect of the
case, We need not expect an inter-island
cable, or even one through the islands to
San Francisco, except as part of a great
whole, stretching from San Francisco on
the one hand to Australia and China or
Japan on the other.
Between the nearest landing place on
Hawaii and the coast of California is a.
longer mileage of distance and greater
depth of water than those through which
any of the northern trans Atlantic Cables.
are laid, The expense will be proportion
ately greater, even taking into considera
tion all the most recent improvements
tending to increased efficiency and econ
omy.
Only trans Pacific cable can be ex-
pected to furnish inter-island communi-
cation.
The Committee submits this proposition.
THAT the Government be authorized to
offer to any Cable Company, who being
responsible parties, shall connect these
islands with other countries, and particu-
larly with San Francisco, an annual sub
sldy of $4,000 for period of fifteen years
ms IN subsidy to be granted only when con
uIIons shall have been made as to reason

ALL honor to Hon. G. Rhodes for his
casting vote in favor of Mr.. Dole's amend
ment TO the Constitution for excluding
judges from the Legislative Assembly. 1t
is an evil and q source of corruption from
the outset, for any judge to be a candidate
for the Legislature, OF TO sit in the Assem-
bly, voting on his own and brother Judges
salaries.
These District magistrates have it in
their power to be petty tyrants in their
Judicial capacities. Ii is no light thing to
make a resident of the District feel that if
he vote against the judge, he, the Judge
viii some day get even with him. The
appointments of the magistrates being now
with the executive alone. their votes as
members of the Legislature will surely be
with the executive in all vital matters.
They are ID fact not representatives of the
people. but of the Crown. at whose will
the obtain Office This Is not the theory
of Constitutional Government.
1t is said that one of these legislating
Judges declared that the reason he voted
for the bill passed at the last Session. tax
ing the approval Of their Judicial appoint
ment away from the justices of the Su-
preme Court, was because he expected
that unless he voted to raise the salaries
OF the latter they would refuse to approve
OF HIM. This merely shows the motives
which work on the minds Of such men.

The opinion of the Attorney General
concerning the legality Of the leases
granted by the Minister of the Interior to
Mr. Gibson without public advertisement
and sale, as required by the statute, studi-
diously omits reference to the Gibson
leases: but enumerates some sixty leases.
including at least one never granted. and
the water franchises on Maui, to Sprecl,eIs
and the Hamakua Ditch Co, and the Ho-
tel lease to DR.. McGrew, all of which the
Attorney-General thinks are ''voidable."
he admits the possibility of doubt
whether the statute means what it says,
namely: except land of less than $500
value, or LAND of the value of an annual
rental Of $780, He further omits to say
that the Hotel lease was made under de
clslon of the Supreme Court declaring
that the renting of the Hotel property was
authorized by certain statutes tor be made
without public advertisement
He adds that some of the extensions of
leases were granted subject to certain con
ditions requiring expenditures for the per
manent Improvement of the land. f" and that
IF such extensions were made in good faith.
the amount expended would have to be re-
stored upon the cancellation of the exten-
sion"
Now the extension of lease (unless
stipulated IN the original lease) is nothing
else but a lease. Surely the good faith
OF the Minister in making leases in def
ance OF the statute does not make them
less illegal. Whatever conditions for i'm
proving the leaseholds were imposed, they
cannot take the place of public advertise
ment as required by law.
We expect to hear from others as to the
Marine Railway lease to Wilder being
"voidable'
