Ii Is not only in the instance quoted
above, that people are waiting for
money from the Government for work
done and delivered There are scores
of people, from large business houses
to men who have done small jobs for
the Government. who cannot obtain
their due. and who in their turn are
unable to pay those whom they owe.
The injury that has been done Is very
wide spread. While feasting and fid-
ding is the order OF the day among
those who are battening on the public
purse. the men who have done work,
and advanced their own capital to do
work cannot obtain their just due.
Moreover, IN these matters it is
doubly hard. that competition being
keen. much that has been done for the
Government has been done at low
rates. But if people do their work at
low rates they expect to be paid at
once: if they are kept waiting a couple

The whole Of the newspaper press
in this Kingdom has fallen into line
upon the question of the roads, and
undoubtedly they are in the right.
The roads are a perfect disgrace to a
civilized city, and especially is this
the case upon the esplanade. When
ever any heavy rain falls. that
spot becomes a muddy lake and mer-
chants who pay their taxes may well
complain. Every one who owns a
vehicle has a right to complain of the
roads. for the wear and tear upon their
property Is much enhanced. and finally
the large crowd of those who have to
foot it can complain. for their shoe
leather Is destroyed and that Is an i'm
poTtant item to poor men.
Not only are the roads IN bad con
dition about town. but they are in a
disgraceful condition in many parts
Of this Island. The Pail, as q gentle
man informed US who came across last
Thursday. is as bad as it was years
ago when the present Minister of For
eign Affairs used to ride tits against
it in his capacity of editor of the p c.
a Besides there are two dangerous
holes shortly before the top is reached,
and if some one is not killed in con
sequence, it will have been mora by
good luck than good management.
The other Islands have their grievances
too. In another column will be found
a wall from Laupahoehoe and Hilo,
which throws clear light upon Gov
eminent care in that district The
case is thoroughly made out against
the Government. Their duty has been
shamefully neglected. The tax payers
large and small, the users of the roads
have had their money taken and it
has been applied to what mot GER
tainly to the interests of those who
pay the taxes.
The people may well ask this ques-
ton. for what end IS Government?
Certainly a country IS not a life estate
for any man or any body of men.
Taxes are paid so that the different
functions Of government should be
properly administered. If the Gov
eminent is not properly administered
what is the use of paying taxes? We
might as well reorganize and see if
we cannot have the taxes properly
spent. This is what men do when
they find that their business managers
are not doing we'll Why not apply
business methods to government? A
few have braYely striven to effect a
change, but it requires all to put
their shoulders to the wheel and make
up their minds to put an end to these
things.
Are the people of these Islands go
ing to allow themselves to be system
atically robbed by a set of rogues and
loafers, or are they going to demand
what is their right-that their money
should be spent for the purposes it is
subscribed for?

Friday afternoon, Mr.. Q. l. Tewksbury.
the gentlemanly and affable keeper of the
Government Bonded Warehouse, was made
the recipient of an elegant, silver mounted
cane from his friend, Mr.. ". S. Luce. The
present reflects the highest credit on the
head and heart of the donor The cane is a
beautiful piece of workmanship. composed
of six different kinds of choice native woods,
surmountedby neatly engraved silver head,
with the donors and recipients names artis-
tically inscribed thereon. Nr. Tewksbury is
to be envied IN the receipt of this elegant
" stick" and there is no gentleman in Homo
lulu better Quailned by nature to bring out
the fine points of a handsome cane than this
self-same Q. L TeEsbury-and long may be
live to wave it.

as q slight token of the high esteem in which
Mr.. Bartlett is held by those who assist him
in the management. An engraving on the

to be the very height of folly. 1t Is

But It Is not in Its ridiculous light
that We must view this question 1t

very far reaching consequences. There
are two kings in Samoa. One, Male
atoa, Is tacitly supported by English
and American influence. the other by
German influence. Both have fol
lowing on the Samoan Islands. The
Hawaiian Government by accrediting
an embassy to King Malieatoa has pro
nounced distinctly IN favor of that
monarch. and therefore has involved
itself partly in the petty Samoan quar-
rel. There Is a good old remark of
Mohere's Sganarelle, who. when lee
turing q man for interfering between
his wife and himself. says: Learn.
my friend. that between the tree and
the bark it Is not wise to put ones

that Hawaii viii find herself between

that Is that those who play the part of
