An Appropriation Bill of close upon
S4OOO.O00 seems IN strange incongruity
with the statement Of the Minister of Fl
nance, at the commencement of the ses-
sion. That official estimated, or had esti-
mated for him, the forthcoming revenue
for the biennial period of 1856 IS, at 81
S39,924.65. Now the bill has run good
million above that estimate. Of course,
Hawaiian fnanciers will point to their
lean of S2,000,000. But at the rate that
the Government is now being run, less
than four years would absorb the loan and
leave the country in hopeless state of
debt 1t is to this we are drifting. Vogue
Ia galsre is the cry of every one; ''let us
make hay while the sun shines" But the
sun will not shine forever, and the newt
able cloud must roll up. Hawaii's cloud
will be interest for moneys loaned and 1t
will rise, a very serpent round her neck.
The House should remember and take
note of the Kings letter of June 21st.
Third reading should give entire disap-
proVal of many items. In case the letter
may have been forgotten we reprint it.
''NoBLEs AND REPRESENTATIVES,:

ical carrying out of the expenditures of the King

is Ny earnest desire that your honorable body
take every step towards retEenchment of public

The Toledo Commercial, a paper edited by
General Comfy, late United States Minis
ter Resident in this city, contains some
very sensible remarks upon the United
States Consular Service It is pointed out
what efficient work the consular school of
the State Department has done. The pre-
paration of the most efficient vice consuls
in the service is credited to it, and among
these is especially noted Frank P. Has
tings, ''the very efficient vice and deputy
consul for ten years in Honolulu" The
Toledo Commercial says:
''Mr Hastings has frequently had entire charge
of the Honolulu consulate-the second IN rank and
Importance IN our entire consular service, and he
is capable of taking the best place IN the service
1t is one of the failures of civil service admin
istration that such men are deprived Of promotion
BY the sole lack of political influence. which they
have neglected or lost the opportunity to cultivate
at home by their service abroad. 1t is a disadyan-
tage also TO the consular service, that not only
gressmen but writers of more pretensiun to accu-
racy ignorantly confound the consular with the
diplomatic functions, which eonsuls are forbidden
to exercise, except when the absence of iplo-
matte representative may transform consul into
temporary charge d'Afaires. The functions of
consul are purely commercial, while those of the
diplomatic service political, except in far
they may involve the care of commercial interests
and the supervision of the consular agents, placed
under their control as representatives of the Ma
tional sovereignty abroad. The diplomatic agents,
under our system.l may be properly changed
by every Administration, the representatives of
its foreign policy, the consular corps, as purely
and solely commercial agents, have no political
standing; their experience in the commercial in
terests of the country is valuable that of an
old confidential manager in a commercial house,
and the country little afford to dispense
with their services on political grounds the head
of great commercial house can afford to change
its confidential agent on political grounds. The
consular servants of the United States should be
promoted for merit, and removable only for cause"

was amused at the terse manner in which His
Excellency the Minister of Foreign Affairs as ed
itor of the Advertiser expressed himself on the
bill for increasing the member of Supreme Court

HE pensions have passed their third
reading As to- the recipients of these
pensions we have not q word to say.
We thoroughly believe that AIr Parke has
earned pension, and no more worthy
man for a pension could be found. He
'bore the burden and heat of the day" in
his youth, and he was Justly entitled to
some support when he no longer held Office.
But If we are going to grant pensions let
US do 1t on some sound basis The pres
ent basis is not sound. A pension is voted
IN 1886, what guarantee is there that a
ike pension or even any pension will be
voted IN 1888. A turn in politics, a squeeze
from abroad on account of interest on the
loan, and every expenditure will have to
be cut down. Pensions voted as these
pensions have been voted will be the first
to go. Not only will stress of financial
pressure influence the vote, but personal
feeling will too. Any one can imagine a
Legislature which might be disposed to
vote liberal pension to a popular man
who had served but half the time that an
unpopular man had done, and who GOT
nothing, and yet the latter might be the
more deserving man
When pensions come to be necessary
they ought to be granted on some system.
Men should enter service, and provided
they work to the satisfaction of their su
periors it should be their right to have a
pension. So much pay and at the end of
a definite service, so much pension. A
man then simply gets his just rights But
as 1t Is now IN Hawaii, man may wear
himself out for many years, and get no

That is to say that nearly quarter of
million of dollars might have been spent
on the roads, but the Government did not
see fit to do so, and iquidated its little
folly" bills instead. Truly this is "sim-
pie matter of book keeping" but it is a
kind of book keeping that does not suit
the country and the House has shown its
disapproval of it by vote of twenty-five
to eleven against the Ministry.
We feel some sympathy with Messrs.
Dare and Creighton; had they been long
enough in the country to know what they
were voting about, they most probably
would have not supported the indefinite
postponement. This is the misfortune of
trying to run the affairs of country with
out having sufficient knowledge.

ARTICLE S.. The Representatives shall receive
for their services compensation to be ascertained
by law, and paid out of the public treasury, but no
increase of compensation shall take effect during
the year in which it shall have been made; and
no law shall be passed, increasing the compensa-
ton of said Representatives beyond the sum of
five hundred dollars for each session.
Various rumors have been around town
relative to vote for paying the Legisla-
tors an extra $3.50 piece for their services
to the country. The quotation which we
make above shows how utterly impossible
it is that the Legislators can vote them
selves extra pay. They can and have
voted extra pay to their successors, for the
original pay as it stands in the old copies
of the Constitution was only $3.50 for the
session, and the country got better service
for the money. Whoever talks about $3.50
extra pay simply talks nonsense. The idea
has, we believe, got into the heads of some
members of the Assembly that it is omni-
potent, but its omnipotence is limited by
the Constitution Articles of the Consti-
tuition cannot be changed under two years
so the venal majority of the House. though
it can play ducks and brakes with the

Of follies, cannot line its own pockets di-
rectly, however much it may desire to do
SO. The two hundred and fifty dollar
scheme may therefore, be relegated to the
limbo of unaccomplished hopes. To OBJ
tain it would mean revolution. and we
fancy that that is an example which no
member of the present dominant party
would like to set. Revolution is weapon
apt to cut both ways, and few people like
to get hold OF the wrong end of the sword

On the other hand the consumption in

During the year, as far as the worlds

lions of pounds which have been imported
from these Islands to the United Stares
show as compared with the $500 millions
imported from foreign countries. The
figures go to show how absolutely neces-
sary for the United States is a foreign
supply of sugar at present. Even taking
into consideration all classes of sugar other
than cane, the United States produced
only S37 10000 pounds, or little over Ii
per cent of the whole consumption of the

HE Government organ has melan-
choly howl, and says that the opposi-
ton has handed over 100000 to the
chances of accident and peculation. :"
Now there can be little doubt that the dis
trict road taxes will be safer and better
applied than they have been under the
present administration. In the past bien-
NAL period the Government came out with
a treasury balance of only S9,174.65, and
since the Legislature has been in session
this balance has been shown to be more
apparent than real, for the Government
have been compelled to confess to very
large debt owed to Mr.. Spreckels.
We find however, on looking through
the report of the Finance Minister that a
large sum is owing to the roads, very far
in excess of the paltry balance the Minis
tiers had to show.
In view of these facts, it is positively
amusing to read the statement that
"The districts got all the road tax and great
deal more expended during the last biennial period
but the late Minister of the Interior drew against
specific appropriations and did not exhaust, as he
might have done, the road tax. 1t is simple Ques-
ton of book keeping, therefore, and not of with
holding the road tax from the districts which, un-
der the present Appropriation Bill, will have il
returned almost twofold."
The actual figures, as issued by the Min
lister of Finance show that there were APP
propriated in 1884:
