Tn Government organ Is always happy
about its facts In 1880 the system of
transfer, system frequently denounced
in these columns, was legal 1t WIS spe-
cially allowed by a clause in the Appro-
priation Bill In 1882 the transfer clause
was struck out of the Appropriation Bill
and though Mr.. Gibson and his friends
tried TO smuggle ii in again. their attempt
was failure When Mr. Baker talks Of
making transfers in 1886 he is advocating
something which is absolutely illegal. We
trust the penicious system OF transfers
may never again be known IN Hawaiian
finance. With such half truths the 'or-
gan" tries 10 run its campaign. But the
people easily see through 1t. 1t Is not by
attempting TO blacken former administra-
tions that the present one can be made to
appear clean. Besides comparisons are
odious. still for the benefit of the ''organ'
we would compare the administration of
Mr.. Wilder with that OK Mr.. Gibson.
When Mr.. Wilder reported to the House
there was cash balance in the treasury
OF S33S. .SS044 The Government rent roll
which had been carlessly attended to, was
put in proper shape and back rents and
unpaid licenses collected. The books Of
the Interior Office We're overhauled and
lack Of system replaced by system The
Kulaokahua plains were opened up, with
an advantage TO the public income of more
than $4,000 per annum derived from in
terest, taxes and sales Of water. The Ma
kili reservoir and the upper Nuuanu res
ervoir were erected The road question
was grappled with, and had Mr. Wilder
remained in Office the whole country would
have been satisfied The Portuguese I'm
migration was moreover, Mr.. Nilder's
work. and SO was the Marine Railway.
What has the other side 10 show against
a full treasury, great public improvements,
an ably conducted administration?
Well, the present Cabinet can show a
bare treasury, a heavy public debt, men in
subordinate positions unfit for their work,
casting the burden on their ADLER chiefs
who complain Public improvements at u
stand. still, and this with greater com
mand Of money than any previous admin
istration. Discomfort and distrust among
all classes, native and foreign. Truly the
comparison is not pleasing one for the
present .holdcrs and misusers of power
The polls viii decide whether the present
| Government are to be retained in office
whether the cprogressiyenesso Of sHch man
as Mr.. Wilder may be again available, OF
whether the country Is to retrograde un-
der the rule OF a vain and selfish man like
Mr.. Gibson, there can be but one an
swer: send the Independents to the Leg
/ islature and get rid of the ring"

NoTE the Independent Ticket Solid
That is the resolution that every man who
cares for Hawaii should make TO morrow.
Some of the gentlemen may be personally
not agreeable TO some voters, but their
principles are sound their ability Is un-
doubted, and if they are elected as a body
we may look for the amelioration of many
of the ills from which Hawaii is suffering.
The Independent Ticket is representative.
It takes in every class and color. Hawai-
ian and foreigner, Professional man and
merchant, are all TO be found in its ranks.
The Government Ticket is composed of
a little ring Of PROFESSIONAL politicians and
office holders The Independents will
legislate on broad bases for the benefit of
all, the Government candidates must per
force legislate for themselves, leaving the
general interests of the country to chance.
They are heches or rather they resemble
more closely those celebrated daughters
of the horse leech who's; constant cry is
'givel given
There is and can be only one solution to
Hawaii's present difficulties and dangers,
and that is the return to the House of Re
representatives. OF an overwhelming majority
of Independents. Long live the indie
pendent Party

''TBE treaty in danger was the subject
of a letter from San Francisco merchant.
which appeared in our columns last week
The treaty in danger Is indeed an alarm
ing cry Take away the treaty and adieu
10 the prosperity of Hawaii. The loss of
the treaty, though II would be felt by all
would be felt first by the mechanic class
Works of improvement would come to a
dead stop, and they would have to seek
work in places where there is much keener
competition than here. The natives will
suffer; their produce which now com
mands a high price will fall in value. as
soon as there is an exodus The retail
dealers will suffer and the revenue will
shrink. We cannot afford to have the
treaty endangered 1t has been one of
the foolish ideas of the present Minister
of Foreign Affairs, that the country can
get on without the treaty. He has used
the argument in conversation, and has also
permitted it to be used in his "organ. /"
Now any sensible man knows that we can
not do without it, and continue prosper
Gus. Voters must consider what they are
doing to morrow. The present admins
tration is not only unpopular in Hawaii,
1t is unpopular at the Coast. Without the
assistance of the people at the Coast we
cannot hope to secure our treaty, a con
tinuance in office of Minister who has
insulted large portion of the San Fran
cisco merchants.
Our trade with San Fransisco is most
important, a showing of it was made in
the -lltd California of Jan. 10th, which is
most instructive. We are glad to see that
a paper Of the Importance of the Ala takes
up our cause so strongly. But we need,
as was shown in last GAZETTE, every friend
we can get, and we cannot afford to keep
in power those whose presence in our
Government is inimical to our treaty pros
poets, let alone inimical to the progress of
Hawaii and likely to be fatal to her indie
pendence. The vote tomorrow must go
against the administration.

Tin great Postoffice robbery case was
tired on the last day of term, and as the
jury could not agree, they had to be dis
charged at midnight. The law reads: The
several terms may be continued and held
from the commencement thereof until and
including the fourth Saturday after the
commencement of each term" The pres
ent term commenced january 4th The
fourth Saturday expired January Both. 1t
is impossible to comment on this case, as

therefore still sub JUdico. When the proper
time comes we propose to speak at length
upon some OF the salient features.

IT WOULD be well to remember to morrow
that the Minister of Finance, at public
meeting on the Island of Molokai, advo-
Gated the Bank Charter Act, an Act which
II passed, would have handed the country
over, body and bones, to a San Francisco
syndicate This is the kind OF finance that
the Government proposes. Independent
finance will be devoted to assisting our
own people, not foreign syndicates.

CONSIDERABLE portion of the city of London is
to be favored with the electric light, the commits
sioners of sewers having entered into an arrange

Light Company to light an area bounded on the

4 GRACEFUL notice of the Kings visit to
Hilo will be found in our Hilo letter His
Majesty was evidently careful of his words,
both in public and in private. His absence
from the capital during the election is an
other sign that on mature consideration
he has decided TO have nothing to do with
the election. That the Government worked
hard TO try and use the King as their tool
is undoubted, but they have failed signally

Tn loss Of the Planter suggests an idea.
We believe that the Inter Island Steam
Navigation Company insure with them
selves, and that though this disaster has
come upon them so soon, they are in a
position to pay for the vessel ont of their
insurance fund. An enormous amount of
money gees out OF the country for premi-
ums. Why not start an Insurance Com
pany Of our own. There is really field
FOR enterprise of this sort. The capital of
such a company might be used Ia the
country instead Of going abroad, as now.

THE crop of tea in Ceylon is now variously esti-
mated at between 100000 to $4,000 pounds for
1886. This is a marvellous increase when it is
considered that the cultivation only dates back
about four years. And why cannot the experiment
be trid in Hawaii? want to get out of the ''too
many eggs in one basket system. Relative to
this It Is interesting to note that while the con-
sumption of tea in the United States is at a stand
still in volume, but decreasing per CAPITA that of
Great Britain shows a marked increase. The con-
sumption for the past eleven months amounted
to 2USr r5S6 46 pounds against 203,3l4 900 pounds
for the corresponding months last year and 49,
G90 Tor 1885. The consumption per capita at this
rate for the year win be over five pounds, while
that for the Cnited States is only LIS pounds

Opposition finance is peculiar When its model

private banking firm, the head of which had been

of interest upon security which the firm in ques-
ton, under its own hand, pronounced 10 be so
speculative that 1t would not advance any of its
own money upon ii. But the model Administra-
tion had no objection TO its Specializing with the
public funds. This Is the kind of finance the
Opposition would inaugurate if il got hold of the
Treasury again. If the Gibson Administration
were to do such an Illegal and indefensible act
what howl the Opposition would raise. But cir
cumstances alter cases. What was entirely right
in 1880 would be entirely wrong in 1856.

This extract shows in what manner the
the unfortunate writers for the Govern
ment organ are INSTRUCTED Half a
truth is told them and then they are told
to fire away, and off they go at a tangent.
We propose to give full explanation of
the above matter, BUT before doing so
must call the attention of our readers to
the fact that the Finance Committee for
1880 had for its chairman, w. nj. Gibson.
Looking over his report we find that this
matter of S250,000 occupies considerable
attention. The report says, 1T is proper
to state here that the securities Tor tins
loan laid before the Committee for inspec-
ton seemed fully adequate" And again,
"The loan to Bishop q Co. was no doubt
a rescue to an important interests" and
yet again. Your Committee recognize that
there was an imminence of danger to the
business interests of the country, which
required the aid of the public treasure, as
neither domestic or foreign capital was
available" They "admit that the Gov
ernment exercised judicious discretion
in this instance, as a greatly improved
state of business has justified the expedi-
ency.r Thus said Mr.. Gibson In 1880. But
the same man supplying campaign infor
nation In 1886 calls this an s'indefensiblen
act, and a speculating in the public
funds Mr. Wilder. the Minister of In
terror, met serious crisis in bold man
ner, and even his opponent, Mr. Gibson,

BosroS Is in favor of reciprocity with Canada
and under proper conditions California is strongly
in favor of reciprocity With these Islands The
Boston Chamber of Commerce has unanimously
adopted a resolution which endorses most empha
Ideally President Clevelands suggestion of reel
procity of trade between the United States and
Canada. 1t is shown that the volume and profits
of commerce between the eastern States and the
Dominion and Newfoundland have been reduced
and hampered by the duties on food products
exacted by the several countries This body is by
far the most important commercial organization
IN New England, and its opinion should have
weight Ii is noteworthy. also, that at the annual
meeting Of the New England Furniture Exchange
on Tuesday an appeal for reciprocity with the
Dominion met with a most favorable response.
We want action IN California similar to that of
Boston. Mr.. Severance, when be was Consul was
indefatigable in his efforts TO assist the Treaty.
RErEERISe TO consular reports, Bradstreet's
says: Her Britannia Maiesty's consuls have of
late been given to understand not through the
medium of the foreign Office but through the
pages Of certain journals and newspapers, that
they are not doing their duty 10 the Trading COM
munity of the United Kingdom. Good consular
rep IT'S from all parts of the world are useful to
business people at all times but especially in these
days Of fierce international competition. Serious
inroads have been made in the foreign trade of
Great Britain, and many markets that we're once
monopolized by the British have been encroached
on by foreigners, but British industries, or at
least those who write and speak on their behalf,
complain that IN this, their hour of need they
not receiving much assistance from the consular
service Of their country. Reports such as the
American oonsuls regularly get up for the benent
of the merchants Of the Great Republic are ur-
gently demanded, while it is pointed out that the
representatives of America do great deal of use
ful work in answering business inquiries. The
plain English of this particular British growl
seen to be that the consuls of the United Kingdom
are slightly above doing their work, and those of
America are not. Certainly the American consu-
lar reports that from time to time find their way
into British newspapers are models Of what sacff
documents ought 70 be.
