Now, what is to be thought OF a COM
mittee which, in view of all these facts,
goes out OF its way to kill bill which
makes 1t possible for Hawaiian corpor-
alton to get the franchise, and drafts in
its place one which will inevitably throw
the railroad into the hands Of foreign
monopoly? 1t looks as though the com.
mittee had acted without due considera-
ton. We can think Of only two argu-
-ments which may have had weight With
The Hawaiian gazette. [volume] (Honolulu [Oahu, Hawaii]) 1865-1918, 1888-08-21

THE committee to which the Oahu
railroad bill was referred, have reported
substitute bill which differs from the
first, principally in that it strikes out
the name OF Mr.. Dillingham;, leaves out
the subsidy, and does not make the
franchise an exclusive one Of course
everyone knows what this means. 1t
means that the persons or Company rep
resented by Mr.. Gribble are simply going
to freeze out Mr.. Dillingham;, and build
the new railroad themselves. The new
bill looks like very harmless affair on
the surface, but when probed a little
deeper it amounts to this. The Com
mittee, on the specious ground that Mr..
Gribble asks apparently for less liberal
franchise than Mr.. Dillingham;, wish to
leave the latter gentleman "a Hawaiian
citizen) out in the cold, and are going to
grant the franchise to Messrs. Skinner
& Co. OF London, as touching proof,
we suppose, OF the friendly relations
which have subsisted between that firm
and the Government in the past
The Hawaiian gazette. [volume] (Honolulu [Oahu, Hawaii]) 1865-1918, 1888-08-21

The whole thing reduces itself to a
nutshell. II the franchise Is granted to
MIR. Dillingham;, there is precisely as
much probability that the road will be
built as if it should be granted to the
Tramways Company There is also a
more or less strong probability that the
road will be largely owned and con-
trolled in this Kingdom, and at any rate
that its general offices and headquarters
will be here in Honolulu. The Govern
ment will be in every way as favorable
position as it could be if it passes the
committee bill. On the other hand, If
the franchise is granted to the Tramways
Company, the Government will be di-
rectly instrumental in creating and fos,.
tering great foreign monopoly underitss
very nose, controlled and operated from
city on the other side of the globe. Its
own citizens will have no interest in the
Company and no voice in its affairs,
because Mr.. Gribble's statement that
opportunity will be granted to Hawaiians
to subscribe is a melancholy farce. Who
is going to take the stock OF a corporation
organized as the Tramways Company
has been. Our citizens are not likely to
entrust their little savings to the tender
mercies OF Skinner "a most suggestive
name) & Co. The lamb would soon lie
down inside Of the lion. The monopoly
created, if the Tramways Company builds
the road, would be politically dangerous.
We do not want it, the Legislature ought
to avert it, and we believe they will do
80 by rejecting or properly amending the
committees bill.

The truth is, however, that, squirm as
the committee will, there is no lodging
the monopoly. In running away from
Mr.. Dillingham's word, they fall into
the hands OF the real thing. Ii Skinner
< Co. build the road, the country will be
saddled with q tremendous foreign mono
poly of the worst sort, for no one else is
going to put another track alongside OF
theirs, and if the road is built on the
same interesting plan as that followed
in the construction Of the tramway, the
company will have TO pay interest on
such an enormously inflated valuation,
that they will have to keep rates up to
the maximum limit to the crack OF doom.
At the enormous rate which Skinner &
Co. charge for building the street rail-
way that establishment must clear
nearly thousand dollars a week to
make ten per cent. interest. Ii analo-
gies are good for anything Skinner & Co.
will repeat this little deal, and start the
new company off with the necessity Of
paying interest on two or three times
the cost OF the road. Is it for the in
terest of the country, is it wise or right,
to lend itself to financial arrangements
OF this sort?

We do not need to enlarge here upon
the importance OF the reform OF the
Judiciary department proposed in the
bill. 1t is too late for that. The discus
sion pointed very clearly at some glaring
defects in the present working OF the
department. Ii the Court found any
thing to disagree with in that discussion,
the report OF the Judiciary Committee in
the afternoon must have furnished salve
for all their wounds. The re-organiza-
ton OF the Judiciary is a work which
demands the attention OF trained legal
minds experienced in the work OF legis-
latures. No one knows what the COM
position OF the Legislature Of go will be.
There are very great reasons for doubt
ing whether it will be composed OF men
disposed or competent to deal with a
question OF this kind. Ii the re-organ-
ization OF the Judiciary Department is
really desired, the time to effectuate it
is now. a postponement until 1890
amounts to an indefinite postponement.
There is no guaranty that the next Leg
islature will deal with it. They will
certainly be as unlikely to do so as the
present one, and probably viii be less
disposed to NEEDLE with the present
status Of affairs. The action Of the
Legislature in adopting the report simply
dismisses to the vaguest future one Of the
most important reforms which has come
before this honorable body.

and elected on the same platform.
When the Republicans or Democrats
nominate representative, it is not gen
orally understood that he is going to
vote contrary to his brother partisans
on all matters of party policy, and if the
Convention intends that he shall, it gem
orally has sense enough to say so. So,
ii the present Convention had wanted
Mr. Wilder to vote to sustain Royal
yetoes, to keep governors to swell the
civil list, to abolish the volunteer forces,
tolegislate in the interests Of the Chinese,
and so in general to oppose the policy OF
the present Ministry and Legislature, the
Convention would have said so. The
truth is, it did not want anything of the
sort.

The truth is legislative bodies are
almost as naturally objects Of abuse as
editors. That the former should exist
and the latter abuse them is as much a
part OF the order of nature as the rising
and setting Of the heavenly bodies.
Legislatures may be said to be like some
Courts, ex-oficio and always objects OF
contempt. Doubtless in our capacity Of
tail las the Owl neatly puts it. We some
times grow somewhat frantic in our
futile attempt to Fag the dog. The dog
generally stubbornly refuses to wag,
The Hawaiian gazette. [volume] (Honolulu [Oahu, Hawaii]) 1865-1918, 1888-08-21

Of course it is not necessary to add
that we have no animus against Mr..
Gribble. We believe him, as he is gen
orally believed TO be, an estimable gA-
tieman. 1t is with the sincerest regret
that We find ourselves unable to extend
the esteem in which we hold him 70
those whom he represents.
The Hawaiian gazette. [volume] (Honolulu [Oahu, Hawaii]) 1865-1918, 1888-08-21

WE were rather amused by the style
in which our esteemed evening contem-
porary took up our criticisms upon GER
tain action OF the Legislature the other
day, and spun so much more out of them
than is consistent with truth and sense.
Our contemporary seems to have good
deal of difficulty in understanding po-
sition which after all is simple enough.
He is narrowed by the suspicion that we
are not quite % in accord" If being in
accord means letting the Ministers and
Legislature do ones thinking for one,
then it is true We are not in accord The
ADVERTISER aims to be neither in accord
nor the opposite, but to be independent;
to criticize public affairs in the light OF
principles. That is all we mean by in
dependence When anything occurs
which strikes US as Objectionable, we
criticize it as matter of course, but we
do it in a way calculated to rouse, to in
spire, and to help. Doubtless we fall
far short OF our ideal, but our ideal seems
the only true one, none the less. Such
animadversions as those OF our re-
spected contemporary do not seem to
have this ideal in view. They are not
properly criticism at all. That journal
merely falls foul OF the whole Legislature
and abuses it en- masse, holding the leg
islators up to public obloquy as a set OF
idiots and blocks. making it appear that
they are not whit more sensible or in
any way superior to the Legislature of
1885, for example. Now, everyone
knows this sort OF talk is nonsense, and
though it may commend the Bulletin to
the extremely disafected, the constitu-
tional kickers, it makes no impression
on the thoughtful and the just, and, so
far as helping on political progress is
concerned, it is great deal worse than
useless.

Everything said above about the issue
involved is plain enough, and need not
have been said at all. if it were not for
the fact that certain individuals have
been endeavoring to SOW dissension in
the Liberal camp by the stale and silly
showdown with the missionaries
Fortunately most of the trash comes
from certain unknown persons who en-
deavor to hide their political utilization
with the King under an anonymous
signature. "Civis" in the Bulletin is a
fair illustration Of this sort OF political
cowardice and charlatanism. Reason
able men can afford to pass by the
utterances OF anonymous politicians, as
rule, but they are sometimes worth
refuting, because, as the history OF the
United States proves, a senseless party
cry will sometimes carry an election.
1t is not always safe, however, to trust
to the stupidity OF the people and the
shouters OF nonsense sometimes find that
they have cut their own threats. So
may it be with all those political recre-
ants who are trying to divide the party
and obscure the issue in Honolulu this
week

WEDNESDAY afternoon the Judiciary
Committee reported on the bill pre-
scented by the Commission to re-organize
the judiciary system OF the country
The Committee praised the bill OF the
Commission highly, but said it was a
very important subject, which ought to
receive good deal more attention and
time than the Legislature now has st its
disposal. They ended by recommending
that it be postponed until next session,
and the House adopted the Report, with
out dissenting vote. We do not know
that House which has been sitting for
nearly three months can be blamed
much for taking this attitude, but Its
necessity is disaster This is the first
fruits OF the vice OF which this Legisla-
ture stands convicted, the dissipation OF
costly hours on trihes. The consequent
punishment comes now, and Is
visited, not upon the heads OF the legis-
lators, where it belongs, but on the
country at large. Because the House
has spent days and weeks dawdling over
bills of the slightest import, it has no
time now to spend on measures impera-
lively demanded by the public good
which ought not to be postponed. 1t IS
a pitiable state OF affairs if the men to
whom is entrusted the affairs OF a whole
country, have all the carelessness and
improvidence of children. Did the re-
port of the committee affect the House
with a shock of surprise, or have they
been looking forward to this conse-
quence all along? One alternative must
be true, and it is difficult to say which is
the more disagreeable.

WFdt0, OUT ~ iedSb We 10 lOt lstll 80 ldA
from sense as to conclude that the legis-
lators are all fools and blocks because
they do not see the world through our
spectacles.
As a matter of fact, the practice OF
having laws made by a large elective
body is almost the worst in the world,
and most clumsy continuance, as Millin
his Representative Government clearly
shows. Political science is not really very
far advanced, and the present plan is
followed, not because it is good, but in
default of anythi g. The wearing delay,
the want of foresight, the lack Of pro-
portion and measure in the treatment OF
topics, the subordination or total sacri-
fee of important to petty matters, the
indefinite postponement OF pressing re-
forms, are great evils certainly but so
universal as to be almost inherent in the
system of constitutional government.
We do not withhold rebuke and criti-
cism on that account, but when total
estimate is made it is folly to leave COM
parison with other political assemblies
out of account. Surely an editor dealing
with the American Congress on its
merits, would have to write with his
pen stepped in gall. 1t is notorious that
the legislative assembly OF the greatest
republic in the world, sits month after
month and month after month, and
hardly decent measure slips through
it. Witness the nugatory attempts that
have been made session after session, to
pass law protecting the property rights
OF foreign authors. A hundred other ex-
amples might be given if our America
Hawaiian blood did not make the task
distasteful one.

these gentlemen: They may have
thought that if the franchise was granted
to Mr.. Dillingham;, he would be unable
to get the money subscribed, and 50
either the road would not be built or
Mr.. Dillingham; would sell the franchise.
In the first place, this is q perfectly
gratuitous assumption made in the face
OF the expressed readiness of some home
capitalists to embark in the enterprise.
In the second place, if the stock cannot
be subscribed, why should not Mr.. Dill
bingham sell the franchise? It will
merely prevent Skinner < Co. from aP-
propriating for nothing the fruits Of
Mr.. Dillingham's labor and time and
thought and money 1t is all very we'll
to love ones enemies, and We commend
the fraternal readiness of the committee
to kiss the hand that robs you, but we
never understood that loving ones
enemies meant helping ones enemies to
skin ones friends. Anyone might sup
pose that the committee read the Bible
so: Ii thine enemy pick thy one pocket
open unto him the other also, from the
readiness with which they fall into every
scheme which is going to put money
into the pockets of London monopoly
The committee may have thought in
the second place, that the request for an
exclusive franchise was an unreason-
able one. The answer to that is that it
is more reasonable to look not to words
but to things. But in the first place, We
contend that the request for an exelu-
sive right for limited period 1--WE will
not attempt to say how long, is pre-
eminently a reasonable one, and we do
not see how the money can be obtained
without this assurance to subscribers.
A great many persons think the road
will not pay at all, it is general Opin-
ion that it will not pay for a numberSof
years, and yet franchise Is objected to
because it contains the word "exclu-
sive" The inconsistency is gross. But
there is yet one grosser. We grant ex-
elusive franchises with the utmost lib
crafty for the benefit OF foreigners, for
the Tramways Co., for the cable, but
when a Hawaiian citizen, who has
worked up scheme which will rebound
to the general benefit OF the country,
comes and asks Tor an exclusive franchise
and small subsidy (the same things
which have been granted to foreigners),
50 as to enable him to put the scheme
through, we let the shout against mono
poles 20 up, and sit with folded hands
while great and INSCRIPTIONS foreign
MONOPOLY underbids him, monopoly,
too, the agent OF which has himself de-
clared an exclusive franchise to be
reasonable and necessary.

There is no use in trying to obscure or
confound the real issue involved in the
coming election The question is simply:
Can candidate stand on the principles
enunciated in last years platform, and
be elected by the people? There is no
question here OF missionary or anti-mis-
sionary, whatever that may mean. The
candidate who runs against Mr.. Wilder
represents of course the Kings party OF
retrogression. The issue, therefore, is
exactly the same as year ago. 1t is
between the party OF the Palace and the
party OF the people, between honest and
responsible government on the one hand,
and corruption and one man power on
the other. II Mr.. Wilder is elected, it
will be because the people still have con-
fidence in the principles enunciated last
year. 1t will not prove, OF course, that
they think the present government is
perfect or that they are satisfied with
the conduct OF affairs in every particular,
or that they believe in " hard and fast"
support OF the present Ministry. No one
is SO foolish as to think that. Forum
ately, party lines are not yet drawn
closely enough IN these Islands for that.
The election of Mr.. Wilder will prove,
however, that the voters for Mobiles OF
Oahu do believe that the present Legis-
lature and Ministry have the good OF the
country at heart We advise every one
who does not share that belief to vote
for Mr.. Kaulukou. All they have to do to
get rid OF the present government is to
elect enough men OF his political stamp.
1t is an easy and simple remedy.
