CANDIDATES for legislative bonors in Ho

the mass four names stand prominent,
those of Messrs. j. o. Garter, Henry
Waterhouse, Kapolena and A. MARQUES.

best attributes OF his race. Mr. Water

friend Of the Hawaiian race, and has de

advancement. Each in his special way IS

contrast do they snow to the Government

week we shall undoubtedly hear all these
gentlemen unfold their views upon the vital
questions which are before the electors.

4 SUBJECT which merits the attention OF
our Legislators Is pawnbrohng. Money
must needs be loaned and borrowed, and
as state grows, so does the necessity of
borrowing to tide owe bad times, come upon
the artizan classes of its society. There
are always men in community who are
ready TO lend, taking risks and charging
exorbitant rates. Such papers as the
London Truth have done an infnity of
good by fearlessly exposing the shameless
doings Of Insurers. and have crushed be
meath the cold eye OF publicity dozens of
scoundrels who have eaten the life blood
out Of young and foolish men.
But in England, in the United States,
in France. Germany and Russia, there Will
be always room for the usurer, and if men.
fall into their claws they must pay for it.
After all the gay young blood who dis
counts his prospects cannot be held IN.
Still the law is there to protect him, and
he has only to appeal to it, or very fire.
queutly his friends for him, to obtain re

law IS to protect the unfortunate, and so
it has come to pass that In all well organ
lied communities. The law under stringent
restrictions. authorizes men to loanmoney

goods. establishes, what is pawnbroking or
Hvntcs de Pidc, as they are called in France
Now the time has come when some laws
authorizing the loan of money under strict
limitations as TO the rate charged. should
be passed here. There IS large class
which suffers from chronic impecuniosity
There are many who need loan for a
short period, and to whom that loan would
be the greatest boon, but they cannot oh
tain a loan save at a most ruinous interest
We have heard of 800 $50 and 200 per
cent being paid for short loans, security
being given in realizable property. such
as watches and jewelry
1t is the duty of the next Legislature to
look into the matter and to collect inform
alton. A parliamentary enquiry would
call forth strange revelations and would
show the necessity ofsa legalized pawn
broking business.

The Roads and Bridges still remain q
standing disgrace 10 the Administration.
On FRIDAY last we met Appointment planter
from Hamakua, who complained bitterly
of the condition of the roads IN his district.
Laupahoehoe, Hilo. Kona, Kohala, Hawaii,
and Waimea. Kauai. all tell the same tale.
Our citizens in Honolulu recognize 1t well
enough Could anything be worse than
some of our roads? Could any one do
worse work upon them than is donel Ger
tainly the present Administration did not
appoint the present Road Supervisor, but
they are responsible for his work If 1t is
not properly done If he as not fit for his
position put in some one else.
The present Administration came IN with
a flourish OF trumpets as TO what they
would do to facilitate communication.
Their record on this head may be found
in the broken legs and arms Of men, and
the countless number OF foundered ami
mails. The appropriation for roads IS al
WAYS liberal but It is not spent, and the
consequence is that our roads are IN their
present disgraceful condition.
How infamous is it, that money can be
spared for sending special Commissioners
to Europe to try and obtain the suffrages
of the Great Powers for an Hawaiian Pro
Electorate over the Southern Pacific Isl
ands. when money cannot be found TO build
proper bridges over our own gulches, and
life and limb are not safe on our country
roads.
II is ever the same story Fuss and
feathers. but real, practical work may 20
hang. At the root OF the whole matter
lies the meanest personal vanity that has
ever had the chance TO vaunt itself

We have said repeatedly, and we say it for the
last time that the Opposition newspapers are pro
yOking unpleasant rejonders, We have no desire
10 recall the misdoings Of past Administrations.
but if this political campaign is TO be run upon the
lines heretofore pursued by the Opposition, we
shall be forced to refer to public documents which
tell tale by no means hattering TO the parties
involved, but which do not in the least reflect in
iuriously upon the present Government IL Is for
those who may suffer by the resurrection of their
buried acts TO consider whether they can afford 10
have them stripped Of their cerements and exam
ined by the light OF reason and truth. For our
own part we have no desire TO do SO. AT the same
time shall not shrink from public duty, how
unpleasant If 1t should be necessary TO defeat
the aspirations of party of cant and hypocrisy
Government Organ, Dec. %, 1855.
The Government organ threw down this
challenge, but it does not appear very
ready to take it up. Last week we again
lifted the glove, but not a word in reply
has been given. Former Administrations
can far better afford TO have their acts re-
vived than can the present We would
once more call the attention Of the organ
TO the Hon. S. g. Wilder's Administration
and ask for specific charges against that
gentleman. At that time Mr.. Gibson, the
present Minister of Foreign Affairs was
in opposition. Mr.. Gibson is now in Office
and has access to every document that he
desires. In his paper, Mr.. Gibson traduced
Mr.. Wilder. he has now an excellent op
pertunity of showing what foundation
there was for the gross charges he made.
Under Mr.. Wilder's Administration the
country was practically out of debt, feas
ible schemes for public improvement We're

waii might have been prosperous now 1t
has pleased the King to set beggar on
horseback. and he has ridden the tradi-
tional road. If Mr.. Wilder could only be
induced to accept Office, with a proper
backing in the Legislature, we should have
q very different story to tell couple Of
wears hence The9e is always the hour
and the man. And our readers may de
pend upon it that just now 5. g. WILDER IS
the man.

TIE spectacle Of seeing the police care
fully watching the riiied safes of the Post
Office is really an amusing one. And
the wall of the Government organ, that
proper precautions had not been taken to
guard the public funds sounds peculiarly
encouraging. OF course, if large sums OF
money are lodged in safes, they should be
watched or the risks must be taken. In
this case the risks were taken, as they are
at every place where government money
is kept.
But does it not strike every one that the
officials are acting like children. Nobody
is now going TO rob the Postoiiice again
They would know well enough that there
was nothing TO be got out Of a worked out
claim.
However, there the matter stands. The
cash has disappeared aud there seems little
likelihood OF its being seen again.
Meantime the most absurd regulations
are put in force Because the Postotfice
has been robbed no one Is allowed TO 90
on board the mail steamers. save a favored
few If the Government Is composed of
children certainly the town is not, and 1t
is perfectly absurd to put the restrictions
upon people DESTROYS. OF going on board
steamers for legitimate purposes.
1t was only short time ago that gen
tlemaD occupying useful official posi-
ton which necessitated his boarding
the steamer, was refused admittance on
board The whole system Of denying and
allowing admittance requires thorough
revision. Because a Postof1ice safe has
been robbed there is no reason that every
one in the town who happens to wear a
shabby coat should be prevented from Wis
iting the steamers Thieves are like
enough to be found dressed in fine linen
and broadcloth.

The Minister Of Finance has presented
his quarterly account twill be seen that
the balance has increased from S5S,393S5
to SSI. S03.43. This Is after most OF the
taxes are in FOR the year The advance in

make this advance S22l0O has been Dor

$1,000 has come from the Japanese fund y

A GENERAL international Exhibition of nayiga-
ton, travelling, commerce and manufacture is to
be held at Liverpool, England, beginning MAY,
1856, and closing October, 1856. 1t is hardly
necessary TO add that the exhibition will be held
under the patronage Of Her Majesty the Queen,
and that His Royal Highness the Prince of Wales
is President. The Duke of Edinburgh is Vice
President. Prominently ON the list are the names
Of the Right Hon. W. L. Gladstone and Sir Thomas
Brassey. The circular issued by the officials of the
exhibition announces that the exhibition differs
widely from those held recently at London Boston,
New Orleans and other places. Although its
principal object Is the placing side by side of all
means Of conveyance and trayel-ancient, medieval
and modern, by water and land and all articles and
manufactures connected with these branches, it
Is otherwise not limited to certain fields of indus
try or the productions of certain nationalities.
From another statement made it is gathered that
one design is TO encourage the development of the
American export business. Messrs. l.. w
Morris d Son, of the Morris European d Foreign
Express, Nos. Is and 70 Broadway, New York, have
been established by the executive council of the
exhibition to act as forwarding agents and repre-
seutatives of American exhibitors

THE construction of the North Baltic Sea canal
will rightly be counted one Of the greatest econo-
mical achievements of the day. The project has
for ten years been before the Prussian government
and now 1t Is taken in hand in earnest. The esti-
mated cost Is about S37 00J0 of which the Prus-
sian government will bear about SI2,00OOO0, and
the remaining $25 1900 being raised the form
If a loan. Apart from the imperial question (the
advantage of the canal TO the navy is expected
that commerce will benefit to vast extent by this
new waterway. The Westphalian collieries, for
instance, will be able to extend their sales in the
Baltic Sea districts, and other ndusties will reap
equal advantages. By using the canal steamers
Will save at least twenty-five hours and sailing
vessels three days while there is more than pro-
portionate diminution of risk. The importance
of the latter phase Of the question will be under

the last Legislature. and which would have
placed in the hands Of Mr.. Spreckels and
his associates monopoly which would
have been fatal to the business interests
of the whole group, would have limited
the freedom and independence of the Ha
waiian Government, and in all probability
would have led speedily to its subversion.
This is the hostile scheme which has
threatened the interests of the Hawaiian
people, from King to Makaainana. And
the men who favored ii, and who who were
frightened out of it by the storm of popu-
lar Indignation which it stirred up, are
still in power, and as ready now, as then,
to 20 10 any length, limited only by their
courage which, thank Heaven is also lin
tied in undermining the bases of our
moral and material prosperity.
The Government organ always fails
when it comes to figures. As long as
vague generalities are dealt in it always
comes out well. when pure romance Is
needed it shows up splendidly, and when
4 good lie has 10 be told with unblushing
effrontery and brazen forehead. why it
Is in every time But when you come to
figures and its figure Juggling we have
shown up before, in the case of Chinese
and Portuguese, it always comes to utter
and hopeless smash. You may juggle with
figures, but you are apt be TO found out
and proved automatically incorrect. And
then where are you? Why, you have TO
eat the leek
The Organ tells us that during two bien
NAL periods the expenditure for Imnigra-
ton has been S67219141 Since 1864 ii
has been 1851 .67979. The total national
funded debt Is S1,07S.500 And the rea-
sOning Of the organ is that the entire
funded debt has been spent on ImmigTa-
ton That Is TO say that the present men
came into Office in 1850 there was then a
debt Of S3SS.000. They have reduced that
debt TO Sl26.S20.21, but they have run up
n bill for Immigration on a new ledger
Exactly what the organ means by its
! figures is predetermined They appear
very much like sum which is hopelessly
wrong and had better be rubbed out. The
Government pay for the introduction of
women and children, the planters for male
! laborers. The prices for passage which
planters pay we believe Weld handsome
profit. If the S672, 19l Al which the Gov
ernment has spent has been devoted TO the
introduction of women, why the old adage
comes true that woman is a most expensive
commodity. The fair sex must have been
/ introduced into these islands at the rate OF
about $500 a head Now. however chival-
rous the Hawaiian may be. this Is rather a
steep price not but what every member of
/ the sex is worth a thousand times that
amount and more But Hawaii in her
poverty can't afford the luxury, that is all.
But the fact is that the Government gets
more than 70 per cent of its money back
for immigration. The question naturally
asked Is what has become of it? Whom
