A FRIENDLY ARGUMENT.

EDITOR BULLETN:- ALLOW me to
premise by saying that l am writing
in the spirit of friendly argument.
The subject on which l take issue
with you is, ''Shouid a public SER
want have private business?" |
argue, no, and present the following
as my reasons:
This Government being the Re-
form Government is intended to be
by and for the people-aU the peo-
pie, not some-and the well being of
all is supposed to be in view in
every step they take. Now, one
important point is to so conduct
affairs that the people may be con-
tented and happy; but if, according
to your theory, one man is allowed
to fill an official position and to
carry OH business at the same time,
somebody is going to be crowded
out, and dissatisfaction that might
be prevented is going to ensue, and
possibly loss of population, which
means taxes and votes.
In the second place it is only fair
to judge that there are men capable
of filing the various Government
offices outside the ranks of men in
business, and if the business man
considers the Government position
precarious, why take it? why not
contine his attention to his business
and leave the Government position
to some one who does not want the
whole earth but is content with part
of it.
have no objection to any one
getting an anchor out to windward
as it were, but | do object TO the
Government assisting him to do it,
probably at the expense of some one
else in the community with equal
rights as far as the Government is
concerned. No, my dear Editor,
don't believe in 1t; in business
every man has got the right to crowd

ests at the expense of some business
competitor who at the same time
partially bears the burden of the
salary paid to said Government
official.
Now allowing as you argue that
Government position is pre-
carious, the remedy, in my mind,
lies not in filling said positions with
men who can afford TO lose them
again without injury to themselves,
but rather to pass such laws as will
secure a good civil service system to
this country, a system demanding
an applicant prove competency be
fore appointing mt, and after appoint
ment protection from removal eN-
cept from cause, said cause to be
sufficient for removal, and to be
proven by trial should the official
demand it.
AS the Legislature will soon meet,
l think this important matter should
be ventilated, and l feel that in
calling your attention to it L have
done all that is necessary to further
that object, leaving the matter thus
in your hands, and hoping L have
succeeded in converting you to my
view. am,

One man among us is sick. This

authorities here for that as we know
the Station House is not place
for permanent detention. We, who
are well. do not care for board beds
and the bites of millions of mosqui-
toes; for it is altogether heavenly in
comparison to life aboard that ship.
Still further, the captain has
threatened to punish us for our
mutinous conduct when he gets us

tends to freeze us in a more severe
fashion than he did off Cape Horn.
Our lives even are not safe; and we

This statement, we doubt not, will
be corroborated in almost every par
ticular by every man on board, even
down to the first mate. Individual
instances of brutality we have not
related, but they are numerous.
When we shipped it was distinctly
understood, we we're to have liberty
on arriving at Honolulu. We SIM

perience that the captain intends not
to give us any until we have finished
