INFLATED VALUE,

The Gazette says "Property is
really worth no more than it can fetch
in the open market" This is a
self-evident proposition. There is
no doubt about it. We know little
or nothing about the assessment roll,
or by what criterion assessors in this
country estimate values; but we do
know, or strongly suspect, that pro-
perty in and around Honolulu has
been, and is, valued at a higher
figure than it will realize in the
open market. A man may take a
fancy to a certain piece of property,
and be willing to give fancy price,
that nobody else in or out of the
community would dream of giving.
The value of the property in that
case should not be estimated by the
fancy price, but by the amount it
would realize in open market. Several
public auction sales of late should
have tendency to convince people
that what we have contended for
again and again, is true, that the
valuation of property here by its
owners is largely fictitious. 1t will
not,as rule, fetch in the open
market what they consider its value
The sooner this fact is realized by
land and house owners, the sooner
probably, will they moderate theil
rent rates.

A BAD ELEMENT.

Hardly day passes, but one or
more Chinese figure on the criminal
docket of the Police Court. Last
week was an exceptional one, there
being more Chinese prisoners than
usual. The charges were Assault
and Battery. The evidence was
conflicting in every case, and His
Honor very wisely took them into
careful consideration, before render
ing judgment. In the course of His
Honor's remarks, he said that last
weeks work had proved beyond
doubt, that dangerous element
existed in Honolulu. In this opinion
we concur, and so endeavored to
express ourselves last week, when
writing on Chinese Secret Societies.
Mr.. Bickerton had heard the word
"brother," used frequently in the
evidence. Also the word "gangs.
The use of these words led him to
believe that the prisoners, and also
the witnesses were members Of
gangs or societies, and pledged to
stick to one another, whether right
or wrong. In similar cases which
had come before him he had inflict-
ed fine only. This did not have
the desired effect. Though the de-
PENDANTS have no ostensible means
of support, there appears no diff
Guilty about their raising money to
pay fine. This faction fighting
has to be stamped out and it will be.
He fined the prisoners in sums vary
ing from $25 to $40 each and SEN
fenced them to terms of imprison-
ment from ten to twenty days.
1t is gratifying to know that our
city Police Justice takes right
view of this Chinese question, and
that his strict measures and severe
sentences, will tend TO crush and
stamp out the bad Chinese elemen,
that surrounds us.

Talk about i'iniuring us abroad !"
What can injurc the country moro
abroad, or at home, than the ram
pant prodigality of the House. This
will keep capital out of the country,
as well as lock up and drive away
what is here. The inevitable result
of the doings at Aliiolani Hale will
be to weaken the circulation of the
metallic medium which begets and
perpetuates commercial life and
agricultural activity, and greater
stagnation and deeper depression
must follow. Are our legislators so
blind us not to see and so stupid as
not to understand this? Are they
so short-sighted as not to perceive
that they themselves must also suffer
these consequences of their acts! 1t
really seems that nature has been so
unkind as to withhold the small
amount of brains necessary to COM
prehend that certain causes never
fail to produce certain results.
The man who commits murder
finds, in the course of time, a rope
around his neck, gentleman in
waiting to tighten it for him, and a
mob of ignorant ruflians looking on /;
but he sees no consequential connec-
tion between the cord and the crime
none whatever. The criminal re-
CARDS his violent deed merely as q
due regard to his interests or per-
sonal feelings; his execution, he is
satisfied, is the result of malice and
ignorance on the part of a thick
headed judge and jury, and the
pervcrse preiudices and false conclu-
sions of sundry wooden and weedy
lawyers.
So it appears to be with our Legis-
lators, or the major portion thereof.
They perform their arduous func.
tions in an atmosphere of debasins
influences they fill the statute books
with multitude of repugnant laws
they wage ferocious war with the
principles of truth, reason, anC
justice; they form kind of barrier
against the progress and welfare Of
the country; they vote the peoples
money for purposes in which thu
peoples interests never figure in th'
remotest degree; and yet they as
sumo n look of injured innocenc,
when the people express contemp
for their doings, execrate their deeds
and charge them with contributing
to the national decline, utterly un
conscious that these are the natura
consequences of their acts.

POLICE PROTECTION.

L hat the people of Honolulu and
its suburbs need more and better
police protection is matter recently
contended for in these columns, and
is conclusion almost universally
conceded by the community. But
there is another sense in which the
term ''police protection" may be used,
that has probably not engaged peo-
ple's mind to the same extent. That
is, the protection of the police, or
the protection which the police
themselves should have. 1t is in the
sense of protection of the police,
and not protection by the police,
that we use the words at the head of
this article on the present occasion.
1t is not implied that the police here
require the protection of an armed
soldiery, or anything analogous
thereto, while discharging their
duties, as is sometimes the case in
some countries in troublesome times.
We have not yet reached that state
in this country. and hope we never
shall. But our police need the sup
port and protection of the law and
law courts of the Government as a
whole, and of the law-respecting and
law-keeping portion of the COM
munity, as much as in any other
country; and we are of opinion that
with proper measure of this kind
of support and protection, our police
are quite competent to remedy GER
tain evils that continue TO exist in
spite of statute law. Moreover, we
hold the belief, based on public
facts, that our police have not the
backing which they should have in
the futilment of their duty. TO be
sure, a police officer is not entitled
to support in conspicuous over
stepping of his authority; but if il
his zeal for law and order he should
chance to get little beyond where
he has a legal right to go, or should
in his vigorous enforcement of law
be guided more by its spirit than its
form, he should not be pounced
upon and treated as a criminal
Where there is a doubt in a question
of privilege as between the police
officer and the public, arising out OF
an act of the former committed il
the discharge of duty, the Officer
should always have the benefit o
the doubt. And where the condi
tion of predominant sentiment il
such as not to concede this much
the police will naturally be slow t.
move when the line of duty is no
definitely marked out, and be back
ward in emergencies requiring
prompt action and the exercise Of
discretionary powers.

A WONDERFUL LEGISLATURE.

We never have been hampered with
a asubservientv veneration for Hawaiian
politicians and great men, either the
indigenous or the exotic commodity.
At times, in moments of thoughtful
ness, we have almost mourned over
the depravity of our nature, that
could contemplate such an array of
high-soundiDg titles, decorations, and
brass buttons. without being filled
with admiration and reverence. Then
again when reading column after
column of empty verbosity about
advanced Hawaiian civilization, and
listening to fluent ebullitions of bun
KUN concerning the greatness OF the
nation, the wisdom of its rulers,
and the enlightenment of its law
makers, we have been deeply i'm
pressed with sense of our own
unbelief and hardness of heart.
During the present session of the
Legislature we have often expcri-
enced an almost irresistible impulse
to ridicule, satirise, and pasquinade
it's remarkable proceedings, but by
almost superhuman efforts have sue
ceeded in keeping these depraved
propensities within due bounds, and
have thus managed, on the whole,
to treat, what in reality we regard
as ridiculous farce and a burlesque
of representative government, as
being in fact what it is in name-a
body of intelligent representative
gentlemen, seriously, patriotically,
and conscientiously engaged in legis-
lating for the good of the country
and its people. But the proceedings
of the last two or three days past
are too much for us-mOre than we
can endure. We must open the
safety-value, or we shall explode.
Really, men who can conduct
themselves as the majority of the
Assembly have been doing, are not
deserving of much respect or con-
fdence. Led by an inflated wind
bag, theyru riot among the peoples
taxes, and scatter the revenues of
the country around like dust. With
great blast of trumpets, or blow
ing of rams horns, economy was
emblazoned on every escutcheon as
the watchword and motto, at an
early stage in the session. Now,
preparatory to the close, with o
general stagnation of business and
thick pail of depression hanging
over the land, the reductions made
in the second reading of the Appro-
priation Bill are ignored in the final
revision, and new items are added
for frivolous objects.
What man of common sense can
read the outline of proceedings, as
recorded IN the daily papers, for the
past few days, and contrast there
with the professions and pretenson'
of a few weeks ago, and help feel
ing unmitigated contempt for mel
who can be guilty of such glarin9
inconsistency! A long and tedious
session has resulted in little els'
than an exhibition of incompetence
selfishness, corruption, and condi
ton of human nature so deprayeC
that an appreciation of justice, truth
and honor has become dormant o.
extinct.
How can we expect the country
to be prosperous, or the people con
tented and happy, with such par
lament and such mismanagement ol
the public interests? Can there be
prosperity and contentment without
confidence? And can there be con-
tidence when the legislative and re-
venue appropriating functions are
in the hands of such reckless and
arrogant body of meny

A good story is told of very
honorable old gentleman in Kentuc-
ky, who was asked by his friends to
become candidate for the legisla-
ture. He declined on the grounds
that so many hard stories were told
on man up for office, that he did
not wish to expose himself to the
darts of the slanderer. How ever, his
wife had more political ambition
than he, and persuaded him to ac-
cept. After one weeks work he
went home somewhat detected, and
told his wife that he was charged
with hog stealing and other things
equally bad. "Oh, never mind that"
she said, ego on and do your duty.
Your neighbors know you did no
such thing. It's only one of those
nasty campaign lies" At the end
of the second week he returned, de-
.cidedly wilted, and exclaimed to his
wife, when asked how matters st ood:
