OPINIONS and editorial comments on
the late disastrous fire show that there is
but little unanimity concerning the sub
ject, and that a majority of the views
held are more or less colored by social
and political prejudice 1t is certain
that much nonsensical palaver and
political bombast have been indulged in
by those who ought to know better, and
who we believe do know better, than
they write and talk. The same sense
less talk and untruthful statements
have been offered to the Press for
publication and have been positively
refused, simply because the Press is
too independent to be used as a tool.
Ne have been severely censured by
some of the political wise-acres for
refusing to do injustice in the interests
of soreheadism. 1t seems that sore
headism is doing the Opposition cause
in Hawaii much more harm than good.
The truth is that personal differences
are put TO the front and made the pre-
text for indiscriminate attacks in every
direction without either "rhyme or
reason" In the past few years the cause
of the people has suffered greatly
through the political Administration of
the Kingdom, but at the same time the
Opposition party and the prosperity OF
the Kingdom have also suffered as
greatly from the persistent and un-
patriotic course of soreheadism. This
soreheadism can invariably be traced
to those who have at some period held
office in, or at the hands Of the Hawa-
ian Government. 1t is a very COM
mon political complaint in the United
States which the people of that country
are constantly forced to "sit upon.
1t is something the people of Hawaii
will be forced to "sit upon" as the say
ing is, before there is peace in the
peoples party. Sensible men in Ha-
Wi will never endorse a system Of
po't cal ethics which assumes that the
4 Jpl-'s cause is represented by a
clique Of political discontents who all,
unfortunately, have personal grievances

CoMMENDABLE action was taken
yesterday by the Cabinet Council in
appointing committee of represent
ative citizens to investigate into the
origin of the late fire, and to consider
and report upon all matters relating
thereto. Much has been said and a
great deal of assertion and criticism
have been heard, but from the social
and political complexion of the
Committee appointed it is hardly
to be expected that they will do any
thing save exact justice in the premises.
When the report Of the committee is
made there will likely be something to
criticise and good deal of nonsen-
sical talk and assertion to be taken
back providing the literary gossips
who have been indulging their natural
propensities are honest men.

that we believe the action will receive
the endorsement of every property

been raised, we understand, as to the
authority Of the Minister of the Inte-
rior to proceed as he has Under the
exigencies Of the occasion we do not
believe that the Minister has ex
ceeded his authority; but even if he
has oyerstepped legal provisions in .
moderate manner, which is the mosl
that can be urged against his action,

Gold Not King.

We do not hear 80 much now Of the
perniciousness Of silver rs the basis of
circulating medium since gold has
begun TO pour into this country from
Earopean banks and the silver dollar
has arisen twelve per cent. In value In
England. This Is about the time thai
the utter financial ruin OF the country
was predicted by the gold advocates,
but II looks now as II these wise hnau
oial prophets were as liable TO be mis-
taken as those who had more faith In
the credit Of the government. IL would
appear now that 1t makes but little
difference whether silver dollar CON
tains one hundred cents In intrinsic
silver or seventy eight cents, so that 1t
has the promise to pay Of the govern
ment stamped upon 1t. and 10 made re.
ceivable for United States taxes, Gus
toms and duties. Yes, but there Is no
kro wing how much better the country
would have been off financially had the
silver dollar been based upon the value
OF gold as o metallic standard, say the
gold advocates. Well, Of course they
must say something, but had there
have been no other circulating medium
IN the country than paper notes, which
sre Of no more intrinsic value than the
paper OF which they are composed, so
that there were but plenty OF 1t, the
country would have been in just rs
prosperous condition. II Ia the prom
ise to pay OF the government that gives
1t value, aud the same promise gives
gold, silver and copper their value.
Contraction and Reputation are what
is to be feared more than VIVA. Is
called dollar. False and imperfect
financial theories may lead to con-
traction OF circulating money mediums
ruinous to business, but population
will never come in government as
wealthy rs ours, 80 long rs honesty re-
mains as q controlling principle In our
government. Hereafter the financial
theories OF the advocates OF gold
basis OF circulation for money must be
received with q few more grains OF
allowance when we see In time oil
profound peace and encouraging pros
perity, gold being sent back from
Europe from whence 1t bad been taken
in search Of proh.s Investments. 1t
looks, after all, IS II gold had to come
down from Its lofty throne upon which
1t had been placed and proclaimed
king OF finance and was compelled to
enter into com petition with the much
abused "buzzsrd dollar" to maintain 9
respectable standard AZ o circulating
medium. 1t Is the stamp Of the gov
eminent, after all, that equAlizes
money and regulates finances, more
than the intrinsic value OF gold and
silver.
