Japanese Christians,

Mr. EDITOR: There is at present a re-
ligious work among the Japanese resi-
dent in Honolulu that is one OF the most
remarkable developments OF Christian
missions ever known in this old mission
field. simultaneously with the arrival
of the Japanese immigrants here, Chris
tan people have been at work trying to
bring them under the influence Of Chris
tan truth. With the opening of Queen
Emma Hall as center OF Evangelistic
work, a new impetus was given to this
work among the Japanese. The light
of Christian truth has gradually revealed
the glory OF the life offered to man
through Jesus Christ. But there has
been rapid elimination of personal in
terest in the spirit and aims OF Christian
life since the arrival of Rev. Mr. Miyama.
A man OF rare natural abilities, of in
tense personal devotedness, converted
in San Francisco about ten years ago,
he has come to be 8 power for righteous
ness among the increasing numbers OF
his countrymen in this city. Among
the Japanese Christians there gradually
developed desire and purpose to do

The most important matter discussed
in the House Tuesday was the resolu-
ton to ask the Supreme Court to give
its opinion on certain matters OF law.
The questions to be referred are, in a
nutshell, whether any constitutional
difficulties exist in the way of extending
the licensing system, and whether 1t
would be constitutional to give any off,
Ger an absolute discretion to refuse Ii
censes. The resolution emanated from
the committee to which the Anti-Asiatic
petition was referred, and the object is
to test in advance the constitutionality
of certain Anti-Chinese legislation.

The Hamakua TELEPHONE.

The Hamakua people after many
fruitless efforts have at last succeeded in
getting the Hamakua end of the tele-
phone in their own hands. The Hilo
7. & 7. Co. now come as far as Ookala,
and the Hamakua Co. from Ookala to
Kawaihoe The Hamakua stockholders
held their first meeting to-day, and ap-
pointed their officers, and will immedi-
ately apply for a charter of incorpora-
ton. Several new shares OF stock were
taken up and lot of telephones were
ordered in. Every one seems to have
taken lively interest in the new Com
pany, and from all appearances it will
be what it never was, and never would
be, a satisfactory and paying line. In
a short time it will probably be connect
ed with Kohala May the new Company
have every success.

The House proceeded Wednesday with
consideration of the Appropriation
Bill, with which they are making on
the whole very creditable progress. The
item for carriage road up Punchbowl
seems to be destined to make good
deal of trouble, and it has been referred
to committee. A good deal of the re-
sistance with which the item meets is
due to very partial view Of the reasons
which can be urged for it. The road is
not advocated merely because it will be
q luxury for the inhabitants of Homo
lulu. That certainly is strong induce
ment, for il viii be very great luxury
But another good reason for the road is
the fact simply that it viii add very ex-
tensiYely to the attractions of this city
The Hawaiian gazette. [volume] (Honolulu [Oahu, Hawaii]) 1865-1918, 1888-07-24

A great many expenditures Of the
above sort would naturally be undertaken
by municipal Government, if we had
one, but that useful public improvement
does not seem to be forthcoming this
session, and we do not want to wait for
the Punchbowl road. We would by no
means be understood to imply that the ex-
penditure is not proper one for the gen.
eral Government, for the identifying OF
the capital city is something in which
the whole country has an interest, but
we do think the citizens of Honolulu
would very gladly undertake it if they
were properly organized. A municipal
government is such q very dangerous
afair-it is capable of being such a
thorough curse as well as blessing, that
it is no miracle no one finds the courage
to attack and solve the problem for US.
Can there be a better time than the
present when the respectable personnel
of the Legislature furnishes some guar
antee that municipal government or
ganized now might prove OF the right
sort.

ONE OF the important bills before the
Legislature is that introduced by Mr..
Warehouse to Prevent the Issue of
Commercial Paper as a Circulating
Medium" 1t was placed in the hands
of the Committee on Finance early IN
the session, and no doubt received care
full consideration from them. The re-
port was made on the 18th, and states
that conference was had with leading
business men. 1t can hardly be urged
that the committee acted hurriedly, for
the bill was in their hands several
weeks. Among others, they consulted
Mr.. Irwin of the banking house of Claus
spreckels & Company, and members OF
the bank of Bishop & Company. Plan
tation agencies also had hearing, and
the views of the business community
were pretty well expressed to and under
stood by the committee. The opinion
editorially expressed by the Bulletin,
that "the real intent of the bill, the in
PRODUCER, and the committee, is aimed at
the banking house Of spreckels & Com
pany, and the intent is to stop the circu-
lation OF that firms bank notes." appar-
emily has no foundation in fact. 1t is
an ugly fling, in keeping with that
papers determined fault-fnding since
the success OF the reform movement.
The whole report of the committee
bears the marks of careful consideration
and shows no sign OF the "ad hominem"
argument too much in vogue here.
Measures, not men," should be our
motto and our practice. The whole
course of legislation of the present Leg
Islature appears to be founded upon that
motto, and there is nothing to indicate
that this bill will not be considered in
the same spirit. 1t is also just to Mr..
Irwin to say that the fault-fnding writer
of the Bulletin was probably not in
spired by him.
The report of the committee touches
upon an important matter which has
perhaps not received sufficient consider
alton. This is, that the Legislature of
1886, as well as former Assemblies, have
declared the intent of the country as
against unlimited silver. The silver
coinage Act has been repealed; the
issue of silver certificates by the Govern
ment has been restricted to ten dollar
notes; the payment of debts in silver
has been restricted to ten dollars, and
last, but not least, the proposed cele-
brated bank charter asked for some
years ago by Spreckels and others, was
almost unanimously rejected by the
Legislature. The issue of bank notes
is therefore clearly illegal at the present
time, and the issue Of certificates of de-
post by the banks or others, which are
payable to bearer or order, are simply
evasions of the law. This is not as it
should be, and the intent of the bill is
to prevent this, as well as the practical
creation and issue OF any other circulat-
ing medium than that authorized by
law. 1t is doubtful whether the country
is materially benefited by the large use
of plantation drafts. 1t would be much
better if the country could be supplied
with plenty of gold and silver. But
this bill will not, as alleged, prevent the
free use of negotiable paper. That
stands upon footing of its own, and is
not covered or intended to be covered by
the proposed legislation,

Boating and Dancing.

A social society has been formed with
in the membership of the Myrtle Boat
Club and bearing the name of that or
ganization. Friday evening a boating
and dancing party was given as the in
itial entertainment of the society. The
steam launch and other boats of the
Club were employed for delightful
moonlight excursion, and on returning
to the club house the congenial party Of
young ladies and gentlemen danced
programme in the elegant hall. Heard
from this Office through the telephone,
the music was very charming.

oRAToRY is steadily on the increase in
the House, and as a result business IS
very dull there, and steadily waning. Why
would it not be well for the lawmakers
to take recess of fortnight, and give
the committees chance to resuscltate
the bills which lie buried beyond sight,
memory and hearing. If q recess is de-
cided upon, it should come at once In
order to let the lawyers do little work
before the July term closes.

Crown Lands.

Mr.. EDITOR: As see by Noble Eos
ter's resolution, "that no notice OF bills

one of the voters to whom promises
we're made by some of the now legisla-
tors that they would legislate in regard
to the Grown lands, and as no bill to

to tourists from abroad. So far as we
are aware, in this city OF magnificent op-
portunities, such thing as a pleasure
drive can hardly be said to exist. The
carriage road up Punchbowl will create
such a drive-a drive, the beauty and
interest of which will be out of all pro-
portion to the cost. The proposition to
reduce to $1,000, and make road for
horseback riders only, is an absurd one.
That class can get up Punchbowl now.
The item should be passed as it stands
in the bill, or rejected altogether. II
the Legislature will all adjourn to the
top Of Punchbowl some fine, clear even
ing about sunset, they will pass the
item, we believe, without a dissenting
vote. IT'S consummation devoutly to
be wished-and we believe it will pay in
the end.

that in the few days left to introduce
bills, some member OF the House tof

SO as to not break his promise.
A CITIZEN.
The Hawaiian gazette. [volume] (Honolulu [Oahu, Hawaii]) 1865-1918, 1888-07-24

The passport bore is not, however,
consideration, in comparison with the
Hospital Tax Swindle. 1t is bad enough
to tax travellers for coming here in any
case, but to inveigle them out OF their
money on the specious pretence that it
is for the benefit of the Hospital, leaving
them OF course to infer that if they are
strangers and sick they will be taken in
themselves, is an unwarantable hoax
and fraud. The truth is that there are
reasonable and proper ways Of raising
money by taxation, and there are OPP
pressive and absurd ways. This,
We submit, is one of the latter, and the
sooner it is done away with, the better.
The Hawaiian gazette. [volume] (Honolulu [Oahu, Hawaii]) 1865-1918, 1888-07-24

The answer of the Minister of Finance
to the questions put to him with regard
to the Passport System show that only
an exceedingly small number are ever
stopped for debt, the number in the last
two years, 81. being about one per cent.
only OF the total number issued, we be-
lieve. It seems an imposition on the
debt paying portion of the public to com
pei them all to invest in passports be-
cause it is wholesome for few sinners
to be compelled to do SO. The system
was probably not originally devised to
prevent debtors from absconding, and
we submit that its utility for that pur-
pose is not sufficient reason for the re-
tention of an antiquated and burden
some arrangement, which smacks more
of autocratic government than of the
spirit of free institutions.
