We have confidence in both the
ability and the integrity of the finan {
committe, and we have no doubt tn ,
they will accomplish a good deal, We
are aware also that much time must
elapse before they can 20 their round
OF investigation properly, and that the
temptation is always to pass over with
merely cursory examination those de
parments which enjoy the community's
confidence. II IS perfectly true that
the public expects to md the accounts
Of the clerk OF the supreme court in
apple-pie order, and his methods OF
book keeping all that such methods
should be. But it is equally true that
4 sp;-it Of strict impartiality ought to
control its actions, SO unmistakable an
impartiality that he who runs may read.
We feel compelled 10 sound this note
of timely warning, because we wish to
anticipate the criticism OF the imposi-
ton The books Of the clerk OF the
supreme court ought to be rs closely eN-
amincd as those of any other employe
OF the government Ills methods OF
book keeping ought to be rigidly scrut-
inized. Furthermore, there ought to
be an examination OF the clerical work
of the department for the period, in
order TO determine whether additional
help Is needed. This with all respec,
for the opinions Of the judges. The
clerks have never seemed to be an over.
worked set. This advice will apply 10
every office whose expenditures are eX
ammrd by the finance committee, and
! II the advice be carried out some yAlua
Ole data may be secured and brought
to bear on the adyisabiliiy OF additional
clerks in various departments, In ans
event the sum total OF investigation car
be none too great to satisfy public eN
pcctation and We must not allow il I,
be prejudiced by even the sembanc'
OF partlaliiY.

"Cfcdn 90 whom, etc In certain
quarters i Is the fashion to contend that
no possible good may come out Of the
ministerial Nazareth. We are perhaps,
as unlikely as anyone is TO take our Glib

Saturday press. [volume] (Honolulu, H.I.) 1880-1885, 1884-05-17

In common with other Honolala
newspapers, the Press has been favored
with copies Of the Washington Gazette
which contain charges against Col l. S.
Spalding, President OF the Planters
Labor and Supply Company In the
absence Of direct proof in the matter,
We prefer to believe the charges are
part OF a black mailing scheme by the
American enemies of the treaty. Ii Is
now in order for Colonel Spalding to
explain. II he cannot do so to the
entire satisfaction Of the company, he
ought to be dismissed from his office.
1t has hitherto been our strongest
card that we were free from the lobby
ing tactics Of the usual ring Our
best advisers have wisely counciled re
lance upon the justice OF our plea that
the treaty was truly reciprocal. II Mr..
Spalding has done much to destroy
the American impression Of our perfect
fairness, We may do something TO re
store that impression by promptly re-
buking sMr Spalding.

We hope the attorney general may
make a convincing showing Of the need
of additional clerical help in his Office
The deputy attorney general will un-
doubiedly conserve public need. The
additional clerks needed ought not 10
be expensive ones. For the chief clerk

We print to-day the second part Of a
letter on the water resources of Homo
lulu. 1t challenges attention by the
clearness and distincneSs OF its state
ments and because OF its startling an
tagonism to the popular belief in the
necessity OF storage reservoirs. Mn.
Lawrence's paper comes At good
time. IN engineer is now in the en-
ploy Of the government at work on a
system OF water supply for Honolulu.
Until he has matured his plans,
completed his estimates and submitted
his conclusions, We have no right to
PREJUDICE them. But until the mamrcd
plan is so plainly indicated that ever
legislature may understand It. the puo-
lic is fully justified in dislrus,Ing the
good judgment OF the proposition to
expend $500, 600 on waterwoTks during
the next TWO years and not unnaturllly
looks upon that modest sum as the thin
entering wedge OF possibly Outrageous
appropriation.

1t Is proposed to increase the salary
of the police judge of Honolulu. For
the period ending in 1882, the salary
was $4,000 year, For the period just
ended it was $1,000 year 1t is now
proposed to increase the latter sum to
$500 year. We are not prepared to
say that the increase is undeserved.
But we do say that if such an increase
be made it ought to be made on condi.
ton that the police Judge shall be de
barred from practicing law or engaging
in any other professional business,
We think the Office of police justice OF
Honolulu so important that its incum.
bant ought to be paid enough to secure
his exclusive time and attention to the
continuous study OF the cases, the
emergencies and the characteristics
which demand his consideration.
