THIS mornings Gazette contains the
text of six more bills which have re-
ceived His Majesty's signature. They
are all important, those OF principal in
terest being the ones relating to the
manufacture of poi, the inter-island
cable and the Chinese permits. All of
these have already been discussed in
our columns, but everyone should famil-
iarize himselfwit the full text of the Acts
and for that purpose we refer readers to
the columns of the Gazette. The bill
fixing the prices to be paid for recording
instruments, and directing that the
funds shall be paid into the Treasury, is
an excellent one, but the rate fixed is
too high. The poi bill is an exceedingly
useful measure, but it is to be regretted
that the same end cannot be attained
by private enterprise. We still insist
that the limitation of the validity of the
Chinese permits already issued to July
/, 1889, is not strictly just, but the time
for effective protest has gone by. The
only objection we have to make to the
Gable law is that it does not
contain clause imposing a penalty in
case the cable is not laid! All of the
bills granting charters should be pro-
vided with such clause to be used in
terrorem, and prevent the legislators

wasting their valuable breath in passing
bills that never come to anything.

a VERY amusing hali-hour may be
spent over a document which belongs,
perhaps, to ancient history by this time,
and yet to a history which bears very
closely on that just now in process OF
making. We refer to Hoapili Baker,
reply to the Ministerial utterances pub
lished in 1880 The pamphlet, which
violates every rule Of sense and syntax,
is a singularly foolish defence OF the
famous $4,000, 900 loan scheme. The
author, whoever he may be, raves eX-
trayagautly OF a system OF notifications
extending over all the Islands OF the
group, connected by network OF rail
roads, an essential part of the defences
which are to make the group invulner-
able The author thought the nation
should prepare for a foreign war with
China, the Tartars, or the Russians. 1t
is we'll known that this document was
not the work OF Baker, who was incap-
able even of its absurdities. 1t is ru-
mored that it was inspired from the
throne.

Whatever the origin OF the scheme
may have been, no doubt the money, if
obtained, would have been spent with
all the madness which the pamphlet
foreshadows. Luckily the money was
not forthcoming, and the scheme must
forsooth remain in allegiance 1t is
sleeping, not dead. 1t should not be
forgotten that there is an Act now in
force in this country which reads quite
as fervidly as any of Hoapili Bakers
after-dinner speeches-we mean the
military bill of 1886. There, too, every
thing is organized on the grand scale,
the pages fairly bristle with General
issimos, Adjutant and Major Generals,
Aides-de-camp, Intelligence Officers,

Paw of POstmasters.

Mr. EDITOR: l see by u recent issue OF
your paper that there has been an addi-
tional $4,000 appropriated for Post
masters, making $2O,O for the current
biennial period; also $4,000 for clerks
in General POstOfice (this latter does not
include the =. NJ General and Deputy
z. NJ. GeneraD. On first reading these
two items they appear out of proportion;
$26 600 for some eight or ten clerks and
$40, 900 for 50 POstmasters. On due re-
Election | find the former sum is not any
too much for the clerks in the General
POstotfice, but the $40, 900 emphatically
pronounce as altogether inadequate to
the amount of labor required (leaving
brains out altOgether). Ten thousand
dollars per annum equally divided
among lifty-three Postmasters (Which
is the amount given in the 2.
NJ. g. report would be 1888 81 per
annum, or $17 80 per month, for each
man-$2 80 more than is given the last
importation OF Japs, which | believe is
the cheapest labor in the country. Con-
sequently country POstmasters rate sec
ond to Japs, and long way inferior to
Hamakua police or mule drivers. But
even this is not the pay of POStmasterS.
Money order and banking business
offices are paid $40 per month and minor
offices IS, and have the privilege of sup
plying all necesSaries for their respective
offices, such as wrapping paper, Irvine,
stationery, etc, out OF their salary, and,
moreover, the man must be capable,
honest and obliging-always on hand
seven days OF the week Gas Sunday is
the only day Japs and Portuguese have
for mailing and registering letters, get
ting money orders, tc.)-in fact, he
must be instant in season and out OF
season, and all for the munifcent sum
of $40 per month. We would strongly
recommend the Finance Committee to
reconsider the Appropriation bill and
allow the Postmaster General few
thousands more, SO that he may be en-
abled to make glad the hearts of his
many faithful and tried servants (even
at the expense of the Law Library.
Nothing will give our worthy Chief, for
whom we have the highest respect, more
pleasure.

A CIDEVANT POSTMASTER.
Honokaa, Hawaii, July 10Th.

The Portuguese and the Post Office.
Mr.. EDITOR: Have the kindness to
publish the following: 1t is matter of
extreme regret to the Portuguese, that
the ardent and pleasing proposition held
out to the Postmaster-Genera in your
paper OF the goth, has met with such a
blunt refusal from the gentleman, to
comply with the expected wishes of all
the colony, as to give a chance in his
office to an understanding Portuguese.
The ability of said expert, Mr. Desha, in
deciphering many addresses. which to
the ewes OF the inexperienced are illeg-
IDLE, may not be called in question but
as a matter Of fact it may be mentioned,
that list of alleged Portuguese letters, -
sent last week for publication to the
LusO HawaiianO contains quite a num-
Der OF names, which are either not Port
uguese at all, or otherwise disfigured to
an extent that leaves a great doubt in
the readers mind whom they are at all
addressed to, and therefore cannot satisfy
those OF the Portuguese, who Justly de-
sire that their letters and affairs in gem
eral in the POstOffice are as we'll at
tended to as those of any other people.
1t is not asking any too much of MIR.
Wundenburg to give steady employment
to Portuguese in his department, for
striving colony that will get ahead
which prejudice may have prevented
him from doing; but the request made
is simply well meant proposal of an
idea, in the carrying out of which, he
may not only confer a great boon upon
the clamoring Lusitanians, but it will |
also prove an excellent assistance, in
solving many puzzling questions that |
are put to his corps of undoubtedly able |
assistants, which though simple and to
a full understanding will be explained |
by an able PORTUGUESE.

Anyone who can put two and two
together may, from the pamphlet and
the Act, arrive at a shrewd guess at an
other reason for the veto, not specified
in the Royal message. If the Throne
can but recover the power which has
passed from it forever, this is perhaps its
dream. Under the bad law of 1856 it
does not despair of again building up an
irresponsible power, with forts and
bayonets and great guns. Appealing
for support to all that is worst in the
people-to the desire for free opium and
free liquor, to superstition, icentious-
ness and heathenism. After us the
Deluge, has been the motto of about
every Hawaiian Government since the
present incumbent has sat on the
throne. The deluge came sooner than
was expected 1t has only rained
enough to frighten thus far. The waters
may yet rise, as they didsin Louis Six
teenth's time, high enough to drown.

Abbey. Referred to the Committee on
Double Taxation.
Rep. Kamauoha moved that when the
House adjourn to day, it will be to 10 o'clock
Tuesday morning. Adopted.
Minister Green moved the following:
Resolved, That a select committee of five
be Appointed by the President of this
House, to whom shall be referred the re-
port of the AuditOrGeneral, which com
mittee shall examine into the working of the
present Audit Law and report to this House
what changes, II any, should be made in
the present system of accounting for ard
auditing the receipts and expenditures of
the public moneys. Such committee is
hereby authorized to employ such assist
ance as they may consider necessary TO
facilitate the accomplishment of their
work.
Rep. Kamauoha said the Ministry had
got rid OF one Auditor during the last ses-
sion; they have a new man now and he
does not suit them. He did not want this
Ministry to become as bad as Gibs0n's.
Rep. Nakaleka expressed similar views.
Rep. Paehaole would vote for the resolu-
ton, but he was sorry the question was in
troduced. 1t looked like weakness on the
part OF Ministers that, if they wanted the
Audit Act amended, they did not bring in
a bill for the purpose.
Noble Baldwin said the course taken bv
the Minister was the best under the cir
cumStanCeS.
Noble Young also supported the wav in
which the matter was brought forward.
The resolution was adopted.

signed the Challenge to Jurors bill

Lung Expansion.

Assailing prevailing views, DR..
Thomas J. Mays maintains that i'm.
pure air has little effect in producing
pulmonary consumption, but that the
disease chiefly results from inactivity
of the lungs. lcelanders, coal-miners
and others spend much of their lives
in the foulest atmospheres, and yet
they are comparatively free from con-
SUMPTION. The benefit of a mount
ain climate is not due to lack of at
mospheric bacilli, but to the enforced
expansion of the lungs in the rare6ed
air. The cure Of the disease is sim.
ply mechanical question as to the
best mode of expanding the lungs,
and especially the apices of round
shouldered and fiat chested pa
tients, Of removing the indltrated
products already existing, and of en-.
HANGING the constitutional resistance

lacked in numbers, it made up in ap-
probation, and at the close, MIR. Gran

novel one from the fact that it avoid
