SECRET VOTING.

SEGhEI fUlINu.
1t has been said that the only ar
gument Of weight against secret
voting in the Election Bill, adduced
in the discussion of that point in the
House, was the illiteracy of voters,
and that the Attorney-GeneraI COM
pletely exploded this argument.
We believe both these assertions
are pretty near the truth And yet
for some reason or other, there is
strong aversion to the secret ballot
on the part of some gentlemen out
of the House rs well as in it.
The writtr is reminded of the
dead set which was made against
secret voting in England, when the
question was first introduced TO the
House of Commons. Landlords
and the employers of labor were
strongly opposed to it, and predict
ed all kinds of calamities to follow
its adoption. Those gentry knew
that their control Of the votes of
the people dependent on them
would cease under the proposed sys-
TEN of secret voting, and this was q
power to which they clang with a
determined tenacity. Other classes
also opposed the change, because it
was an innovation and was as they
put it, un-English, that is, not open
and above board. Nevertheless,
after long and fierce struggle the
measure was carried, and in very
short time was applauded even by
those who had been its opponents.
The predicted calamities did not
follow. And now the British people
think as much of the Secret Ballot
as of Trial by Jury.
1t may be added, that the "iIlite,
racy' obstacle was much more for,
midable in England at that time
than it now is on the Hawaiian Isl
ands. Yet it was found practically ly
10 amount to nothing. Here the
"illiteracy" argument can only ap'
ply to q few voters Of foreign birth
and not at all to the native Hawai-
ian, whether of the aboriginal stock
or of foreign extraction. And VIC
confidently predict, after having
witnessed the operation of the secret
ballot in countries where there was
high percentage of iliiteracy, that
practically no serious difficulty will
be found here on that score.
1t is only repeating what has been
said thousand times, TO add that
absolutely secret voting is the only
method of securing independent
voting. This is the one distinguish
ing feature of the bill which SHOULD
never be relinguished by its fathers

THE PRESIDENT SPEAKS.

EDITOR BULLETIN: -- Sometime
since, l noticed a leader in your
paper on the Military Bill, contain
ing also severe criticism on the
Minister of the Interior. 1t charged
that he withheld publication of the
bill after its passage over the veto
in order to influence the election of
Colonel. 1t is this utterly unfouuded
and malicious charge which induces
this note, for l do not often trouble
the press.
/, and l alone, am to blame for
the non-publication OF that bill.
When it passed the House, it re-
quired a certificate as to the facts /;
this could not prepare just then,
being occupied with other Legisla-
tive duties, and after adjournment
not having the bill before me, l for
got it and the Minister of the Intc-
rior called it to my attention several
days afterwards | then prepared
the certificate; it was translated,
affixed and in day or two the bill
was printed. am sorry to say that
| have taken very little interest in
the election of Colonel on account
of having been fully occupied with
Legislative matters of greater i'm
portanoo as it seemed to me. l
presume that / shall not be charged
therefore, with any diabolical, sinis-
ter missionary intent with regard to
that election. l do not believe that
the publication or non-publication
Of the Act had the slightest effect
on the result.

ment such as it ought to have been
would have followed as a matter of
of course. All then that l can see
or find relating to assessment direct
is in a letter TO me of the Minister
of Finance where he says; "Especi-
ally as the Government gave up the
claim to oblige bankers to furnish
such q document" This is clearly
setting aside the obligation created
in Section above quoted. His EX-
cellency further says that he per-
sonally saw Mr.. Damon of Bishop d
Co. and Mr.. Wm. G.. Irwin of Claus
Sprcckels & Co., and agreed with
them in accordance with the deci-
sion of the Cabinet that they should
return their actual cash on hand and
pay taxes upon that and not the
much larger amount standing to the
credit of depositors. There is no.
thing in our statutes to warrant any
such action and | must call this
making new law. Then we have
the statute set aside and new law
enacted of which the tax payers had
no knowledge whatever. In regard
to the merits of this new law | would
say, that as far as depositors are
concerned it cannot be argued that
the full amount of their deposits is
not in the banks and they have a
right to not assess themselves with
the full amount of their deposits,
because all the money is not in the
banks. 1t seems to me that no one
ever thought of not assessing him
self with the full amount of his de-
posit because all the money is not in
the banks. The public, the tax
payers or depositors think, pay the
full tax on this much larger amount
standing to their credit in the banks
voluntarily. Why then should the
lesser amount, viz. I: the cash actu-
ally in the banks be taxed again
The provision in the law above
quoted that bankers shall furnish to
the tax assessor list of all their
depositors, and the amount deposit
ed by them appears to me a very
valuable assistance indeed to the
assessor. BY these lists he can
readily discover all such people who
have either Intentionally or uninten-
tionally not returned to him the
amounts in said lists. BY very
hasty inspection of the list furnish
ed by Messrs. Bishop & Co., L found
several delinquents. Should n bank
er pay taxes because his clients do
not do their duty? He moved that
the reports be laid on the table TO
be considered with the bill.

THE PACIFIC CABLE.

Ottawa, Aug. 5.-The effort on
the part of the projectors of the
Pacific cable between British Colum-
bia, Honolulu and Australia to
secure subsidy from the British
Government, according to adyices
received here to-day, have failed.
The Directors of the company are
pressing the Dominion Government
for a subsidy to supplement the as
sistance promised by the Australian
and Sandwich Island Governments,
the success of which depends on
the action of the imperial govern
ment, and the outlook at present is
by no means reassuring.
