We would again remind our readers
that this evening Messrs. Harry Emmett
and Arthur Branscombe make their first
bow before the Honolulu public. The
high opinions expressed by the press OF
other countries have already convinced
Us that something exceptionally fine
will be provided, and the printed pro-
gramme proves that some very original
songs, etc, will be given. A good string
orchestra has been specially engaged,
and, as it is so seldom that We have an
opportunity of listening to more than the
tinkle of the piano, it is certain that the
orchestra will be a great attraction.
Hawaii will be specially glorified by MIR
Branscombe with patriotic song in ma
tional costume, and Mr.. Emmett in a
musical ditty of a Nuuanu-street belle
which he will sing partly in Hawaiian,
appearing as a female half-caste in gor-
geous holoku. The remainder of the pro-
gramme includes so many thorough
novelties that We prefer leaving any at
tention to them until our delight is
realized, as We feel convinced it win be

THE LEGISLATURE.

The Legislative Assembly met at one
O'Clock yesterday afternoon, and ad-
jOurned about two hours afterwards to
enable the members to visit Lunalilo
Home. The business transacted was
considerable. Several bills were adj
vanced stage, and reports from various
committees were received and acted
upon. Mr.. Dole was in an Directing
mood, and wanted the various committees
to express decided opinions in their re-
ports upon petitions. Now, it occurs to
us that the committees as a rule have
displayed remarkable tact and judgment
in their reports, and ii they should
act upon Mr.. Dole's suggestion they
might get themselves into difficulties
with the Assembly. We should have
thought that the tendency to positive
ness on the part of Mr.. Dole would have
been pretty well rubbed out of him by
his experience of the session but some
people never learn anything, or at least
never profit by anything they learn. The
committees are doing good work as a
rule, the only exception, perhaps, being
in the case of one from which better
things might have been expected. The
business of the session is progressing
satisfactorily, and unless some unex-
pected event happens the work will be
finished within reasonable time.

waiian Commission at New Orr cans and
Louisville.
But outside these criticisms the broad
fact remains that the Finance Commit
tee found the accounts, vouchers and
expenditures in the departments AIMED
above in good order, sufficient, and law
Jul. We hope the Opposition press and
members viii have the manliness and
honesty TO say SO. They owe it to them
selves and to the country TO admit the
fact, and acknowledge that their state
ments to the contrary were without
foundation. There have been no
dubious transactions, no deficiencies
needing covering up as in some former
Administrations. The Government has
carried the country through trying or
deal for the past two years and comes
out with flying colors. 1t has been an
honest Administration it is an able
Administration and if these qualities
do not satisfy the inhabitants of this
Kingdom they must be uncommonly
hard to please.

FINANCE COMMITTEES REPORT.

The Finance Committee of the Legis-
lature has presented report upon the
Finance Department, the Custom House,
Supreme Court, Board of Health, Board
of Education and Department of Foreign
Affairs, covering detailed statements of
expenditure which explain various items
in the Finance Minister'S report, about
which questions had been raised in the
Assembly. This report must be sur
prise to the enemies of the Government,
who have been prophesying an exposure
of defalcation and fraud without parallel.
It speaks throughout in terms OF COM
mendation and approval, and in no sin
gle instance does it attribute anything
blameworthy to the Administration or
permanent officials who do the depart
mental work. We make this point all
the stronger because Messrs. Wight and
Dickey, who sign minority report, do
not differ upon any material point from
the majority. They express dissent
ing opinion as to a few points of detail
work, and make several suggestions
which should be we'll considered by the
Executive but their agreement in the
main with the majority is a remarkable
proof of the careful and honest work done
by Ministers and officers of the Govern
ment during the past biennial period.
And speaking of the minority report,
we are not prepared to say that perhaps
in some instances their criticism is unjust.
1t may be true, for example, that the
expenditure for foreign missions has
been too large, but inasmuch as the
services were exceptional and the money
has been paid, there is no more to be
said about it. We doubt, however, If
these services could have been so well
or SO cheaply performed through the
legation at Washington, as has been
suggested by Messrs. Wight and Dickey.
Minister Carter could not have person
ally attended to the New Orleans and
Louisville Expeditions, and if he had
employed American experts to attend to
the Hawaiian exhibits, he would have
paid a much larger sum for efficient ser
vice than the Treasury has disbursed to
the Special Commissioners. But above
all. the Hawaiian exhibits would have
been in the charge of men without any
knowledge of the Islands, and thus the
only possible advantage of being repre-
scented at these international industrial,
economic, and art exhibitions would have
baen forfeited. We are therefore in
clined to think that even on the score OF
econonov. waving all other considera-
tons, the Government acted IN this
matter foa the best interests OF the coun-
trv. Certainly the amount paid by the
Treasury did not nearly cover the personal
expenses incurred by the Special la
