NY idea is this. In old times,
when people stayed here, and were
not very rich, it did not matter; but
when large number left with what
they had saved and left estate and
house property, mortgage, etc.,
they at home expected their agents
to remit them rents, interest, ETC.,
from time to time, and as exchange
was only to be got through the bank,
they suffered some loss. They
growl first. Then the insurance
companies send away all the collec-
tons to the home offices. Then all
our Islands folks that go to the
Coast or East have to take gold or
pay in gold, thus making big drain
on gold outside of Cinnamon 100000
or more) who send away all they
earn, even at So q week as cooks,
servants, etc., is 100000 week.
Now, though by the Custom House
returns we export very largely over
imports, still it is u heavy drain on
any country for all of them to want
gold. Still, if it were not for the
people who have made money in the
country leaving it, and merely draw
ing the interest, we could hold our
own. Is it not somewhat strange
that so much objection is now made
to our silver coins, which are ex-
actly of the same weight and fine
ness as the L. $. silver coins, when
for all the so or 10 years before not
word was said about the coins of
every kind, that used to pass. 1t
looks to me very like jealousy, be-
cause the Hon. Claus Spreckels had
something to do with it. Surely it
is better to have our own coinage,
than the kind we were taking, and
if the people now abroad living
on those here who pay interest,
want their money in gold, let them
pay for it.
If / ever had anything to do with
the powers that be (the Govern
ment), should strongly advocate
Vic lSSlic VI W uit 10 llOW Otl lNll'iSN
debt, in amount say 81 100000 in
notes of the Government from 500
down to So, thus stopping all in
terest on said debt, and making a
saving yearly to the people of that
amount. OF what more value are the
bonds than the same notes would
be, and if this country is not good
for that amount it had better shut
up shops. l would advocate an
issue of ut least two and half
million, to take up debt, and bal
ance to be used on public works,
roads, etc. But ] think / have
already trespassed on your space
more than i ought to, and will
close, only adding that consistency
is a jewell" which all people who
run for the Legislature (and the
s500) should try and observe, mark
and learn. RELLAw REX.

REAL ESTATE.

The advertising columns of the
BULLETIN announce q large number
of valuable properties for sale, some
at public auction, others by private
contract or at public auction. Ofthose
in the market, the so-called Booth
Estate offers special inducements to
any persons DESTROYS of establishing
themselves in the possession of good
paying properties. The upset prices
of most of the lots place them within
the reach of persons of moderate
means. while the location is such
that there is every probability OF
their increasing in value from year to
year. Not only is the Booth Estate
valuable property, but its being
now thrown into the market affords
good opportunity to persons of
means who are DESTROYS of raising n
practical barrier against the further
encroachments of Chinese upon the
white mans business in the city.
A number of applications for the
property have already been made
by Chinese, which shows that peo-
pies determination to push their
enterprising conquests still further
towards the southeast. The f.
nancial resorces of the white man in
this city are amply sufficient to
hold the most important sites for
business, and unless he comes to
the front with something more of a
spirit of enterprise than has, in the
past few years, been manifested in
acquiring and holding these points
of advantage, it will be but a short
time until Fort street is captured by
the Chinese, and Honolulu will be
but miniature Pekin. And the
white man who becomes the FORUM
ate purchaser Of the Booth Estate
will have the double satisfaction of
having secured a fine property for
himself and conerred a lasting bene-
fit upon his own race in this city.

COLD COIN VS.. SILVER COIN.

EDITOR BULLETIN:-As l see by
the late papers the gold question
has arisen rs a means for political
position, i.e., candidates for the
coming election, and is being dis
cussed pro and con. | think some
people besides those have some in
terest in the matter, and therefore
state what | think in the said matter.
For the 30 years or more previous
to this beautiful Gold Law, every
coin-say French dollars, Bolivian
Every bad) and Chile, South Amer
lean, ETC., were taken and no word
said, or growl raised, although
everyone knew their value was only
Is to 81 cents each. All at once, it
is discovered that the U. s. gold
coin was the only correct standard,
after the Government had put tax
of 10 percent on such silver and the
Chamber of Commerce had reduced
theirvalue, etc.

the candidates are permitted now,
for the sake of catching the votes of
the unsophisticated masses, to raise
an ignorant clamor against the law,
their election on n platform COM
prising repeal of the measure would
be taken as not only justification
but authorization of a raid upon it
in the Legislature. Then, what
could save that or any other useful
statute from the rough hands of the
vandals, provided enough of them
are returned by the electors to hold
the balance of power?

Inquiries having been made whether
persons who are exempt from the pay

ing clergymen, teachers, pupils in High
Schools, firemen, &c, or by reason of
being over the age of sixty years or
whose taxes have been excused by the
Assessor on account of intirmity or
poverty, are allowed by law TO vote at
the Election for Representatives.
1t is my opinion that all such persons
are entitled TO vote. The Tax Collector
should issue to each such person tax
receipt with the words "Qualifed TO
Vote upon it, which he must sign and
in place of the amount of taxes he must
write exempt" or excused" On the
presentation of this Tax Receipt TO the
Inspectors of Election at their sessions
previous to the election, the name of the
voter must be put on the list of voters
and the Receipt returned 10 the voter.

have of the probability of the golden
prediction being verified.
Conscious of the utter hopeless
ness of every attempt to defend
licensed opium, unlimited gin, ten
million loan, legalized gambling,
and deprecated currency, on
their merits, the administration
apologists now rely upon their
own inexhaustible vocabularies of
abusive language which they hurl
reclllessly at the head of every man
in the kingdom who presumes to
have mind of his own.
The Morning Tyre is now
tuned to a sepulchral key. The
native voter is invited to chime in
with the notes of the Tyre, on
pain of losing "the graves and bones
of his fathers" BY voting for
licensed opium and gin, he will
materially aid the "party of i'm
moral ideas" in supplying the
graves of his fathers with fresh
bones. And of course he will then
be expected to sing pmans of graft
tude to the same party, with
Morning Tyre accompaniment, for
holding watch and ward over the
remains.

AT SKIES AND SEVENS.

The rank and file of the Govern
ment candidates are exhibiting the
same absence of discipline which
characterized the support given the
Government in the expiring House.
They are propagating all sorts of
political and economic doctrine
from the stump, unregulated and
unrestrained. I" Anything to get
I'M" would seem to have been the
motto prescribed to them by the
bosses, whose legend is, " Anything
to keep us in oilice!" Equal hetero-
geneousness is evidenced in the ex-
pressions of Government candidates
upon specific topics of public policy.
Take the currency question, for in
stance. The gold standard law is
denounced by some who are blind
to the Ministry's responsibility for
its ineffectiveness. 1t is apologized
for by others who cannot deny that
it was promoted largely by the Min
listers. Another set pirates about
the superior advantages of Hawaiian
silver, rs if the metal was mined
beneath Aliolani Hale and minted
in the Finance Department without
costing the country anything. While
it is impossible and even undesirable
that there should be unanimity of
opinion in all public matters among
the members of party, yet upon
those questions by which the stew
ardship of the Ministry is being ex-
amined, such lOoseness of chin on
the part of their candidates and
spokesman indicates nothing less
than that thcsG Government is without
any policy, or else that utter dis
traction reigns within the camp.
Without policy except one of ex-
pediency it is not strange that the
Ministry should give so much license
to the tongues of their dependents,
clacquers and prospective savers of
the ship. For any expression
emanating from headquarters, it is
impossible to judge whether the
Ministry, if sustained, would repeal
the Currency Act or adopt measures
for giving it effect. 1t is true,
there was tacit threat uttered once
"by authority" in the course OF
negotiations had between the Gov,
eminent and the Chamber of Com
merce, that the Gordian knot, per-
mitted by the incapable admins
traitors to be tied, should be severed
by subservient Legislature on the
first opportunity. Yet everybody
knows that if it suits the interests
now controlling the Government to
retain the gold standard, there will
be no action taken by the Ministers
themselves to disturb It. Still, ii

The ansrchis: trials at Chicago are no longer
In the preliminary stage. Tue sensational
character of yesterdays evidence carried the
court into the very heart of the matter. 1t was
evident that the prisoners had no idea of what
was in store for them. They had taken the
district attorneys review of his case for mere
bombast. When. therefore. one OF their own
associates mounted the stand and revealed the
plot which had been laid tor raiding the police
stations and reducing the city to the condition
of Paris In the spring of 1871, 1t is scarcely to
be wondered that the color lett their cheeks
and that they exchanged glances of nervous
appre henSion. The witness Waller is probably
not tine only one the state has in its keeping for
use during the present trials; and the conduct
of the prisoners as each is produced is likely to
have = much of an effect upon the jury the
testimony actually given under the subtle
questioning of the lawyers 1t is to be hoped
that the presiding magistrate viii not make
the common error of dealing over stringenty
with he defence. Such excess of zeal has cost
society more than one good chance TO rid itself
OF a pestiferOus element, the higher courts on
appeal ordering new trials because the magis-
trates below permitted the enthusiasm of good
citizenship to- invade in too large measure the
serene atmosphere OF the bench.

The announcement that it is understood there
will be no more meetings OF the Senate District
committee during the present session OF Con-
gress Will be received with regret by those hav-
Ing the welfare OF the District at heart. This
decision. 1t is only Just to say, is not the result
OF any want of interest in District affairs on
the part OF the gentlemen constituting that
committee, but is solely due To- their belief that
their time can be better occupied with business
now pending In the Senate. Nevertheless the
iact is To be regretted Rarely II ever have the
interests of the national capital been placed in
the hands of a more industrious and intelligent
committee of that body. and its patient labors
have been OF great service to the people of the
District, whether its efforts result in securing
before adjournment all the legislation that is
needed or not and for that reason ii was to he
hoped its meetings might be continued to the
end of the session. However, the gentlemen
composing the committee. have shown spirit
and performed work that will be sure to bear
good fruit in future and upon that prospect the
citizens OF Washington are To be congratulated.
