THE JUDICIARY COMMITTEE FR-
VOR PASSPORTS.

Three members of the Judiciary
Committee like passports. They
are averse to the abolition of the
passport system, which our neigh
Dor, San Francisco, looks upon with
scorn and derision, and which every
man educated in free country re-
CARDS as relic of barbarism and
despotism. The three members re-
commend the Legislature aot 20 abol-
ish the passport system. Young
men are generally supposed to be
progressive, but the young men of
the Judiciary Committee are not of
that class. They prefer holding on
to a custom which many years ago
was exploded in all free countries.
One of these gentlemen said in
the House the other day, when
certain ruling of the President was
under discussion, something to the
effect that he felt sure the House
would support the Chair, because il
afforded an opportunity Of "sitting
upon the Judiciary Committee"
meaning, as we understood ii, that
the Legislature took q pleasure in
making such an ignoble. Use of that
important committee. Rather hard
on the committee, and perhaps
rather hard seat for the House. If
the committee is in the habit OF
making such recommendations as
the one anent the passport system,
we cannot blame the House. 1t de-
serves to be sat upon. And if the
House does not sit uvon the com
tees recommendation Until the life
is utterly and hopeles5ly crushed
out of it, the House deserves to be
sat upon by the people SO effectu-
ally that it can never again essay
to legislate for nation groaning
for freedom.
The three committeeman try tC
make their recommendation appear
plausible, but in the att ampt foun-
der about like a whale in shallow
water. They find that The passport
system "does not operate as a hard
ship to any particular class of per
sons, excepting those with dishones
purposes" If only those will
"dishonest purposes" were required
to procure passports in order tC

LOOK FIRST 70 THE PRESENT.

1t seems to be generally regarded
as the proper thing for benevolent
associations TO make permanent in
vestment of funds in their charge,
deyoting only the interest thereof to
the relief Of the needy. Several
local societies have investments Of
this kind-the British Benevolent
Society, the Portuguese Charitable
Society, the Hooululahui Society,
for instance.
1t is a wise thing for any society
to do, when the society can afford
it; that is, when a society has sulli-
cient funds for present needs and to
spare, it cannot do better probably
than make permanent investment
of the surplus. But the investment
idea may be carried TO extremes and
be oyerdone; that is, present re-
quirements may be neglected or
sligbted, merely for the sake of maxi
ing a permanent investment, This
is not true wisdom; it is foolish
ness.
AS a matter of fact, some loca
societies are guilty of committing
The Daily bulletin. [volume] (Honolulu [Hawaii]) 1882-1895, 1888-07-31

this fooishness. How many, we
know not. But recently was pub.
lished in the columns of this paper,
the financial statement of the Por-
tuguese Charitable Society, from
which it appeared that there were
nearly So, 900 invested, while it was
averred that relief to the needy had
been suspended, because there were
no available funds. The Hooulu-
lahui Society also has an investment
of some $4,000, while the objects Of
the society are languishing.
A spendthrift who wastes his
means, regardless of the future, and
ultimately reduces himself to power
ty, is guilty of no greater foolish
ness than the charitable association
Which places its funds in bank or
elsewhere for the possible but un-
certain benefit of generations un-
born, that may never be horn, and
that may never be in need if ever
born, while the present generation is
suffering, starving, and dying from
want. True wisdom dictates atten-
ton to present needs, and not until
they are fully met does it indicate
provision for those to come. The
present is an open page; the future
is n sealed book. The present we
know, in part; the future we know
nothing of. We know there are
among us destitute people who need
help; whether there may be when
the interest on invested funds be-
comes available, we know not. Shall
those now in need be neglected for
the sake of the needy who may come
after them?
The Hooululahui Society has been
collecting funds for years, and this
is about all it has done. Its pro-
fessed object is ''the increase OF the
nation''-of the native race. But
what has it done towards this OBJ
| jcct? Nothing that we can find,
except to collect money and invest
it. Probably the socicty's intention
is to use the interest of the invest
ment when the investment becomes
large enough for the interest to be
of service. But what is to become
of the nation in the meantime? In
stead of increasing it is decreasing,
and for anything the Hooululahui
Society has done or is doing, it is
likely TO 90 on decreasing, and by
the time it is no more, the society
may be ready to do something
| Whereas, if instead of waiting fol
interest. the society would wisely
use its $4,000, and trust to th'
charitable disposition of the people
for more when that is gone, it nigh
accomplish something of its pro
fessed object. A lying-in hospital
for instance, would be proper in
vestment. The life of many youn!
Hawaiian mother and that of he
offspring might be preserved b.
such an institution.

the BOWLER AND MOORE
CLAIMS,

Judging from the discussion in
the House q few days ago, and again
this morning., regarding the Bowler
and Moore claims, there appears to
be 4 determination on the part of
the Government to ignore those
claims. For what reason is not APP
parent; at least, not to the general
public. So far as we can gather |
from the brief outlines Of the news.
paper reports, no sufficient Justitica-
ton of the course adopted by the
Government has been presented.
The Minister of the Interior this
morning objected to tire amount, as
recommended by the Judiciary Com
mittee, being placed contingently
on the Appropriation Bill, on the
ground that that act would strength
en- the claims. If the claims are for
work done according to contract,
by order of n former Government,
and this is our understanding of the
matter, no strengthening is required
in order to render them valid in the
judgment of learned and just
Judge. The Minister of Finance
could see no parallel between these
claims and those Of the English
claimants, and while he consented
to the payment of the latter he oh
iects 10 recognise the former. There
is at least this analogy between the
two, and the Minister'S vision can
not be so clouded as not to see it,
that the local matter was as much
an obligation of the Government
Of the day as the foreign matter,
and when the present Government
came into Office it inherited the re-
sponsibility of both alike. There
was fairness and justice in the pro-
position 10 have the committees re-
port printed and day appointed for
its discussion, but neither one nor
the other in the course hastily
adopted. A discussion would prob
ably have brought out the facts, and
justice would more likely have been
the result.
