had better take back that bill and
reconsider it, otherwise the effect
will assuredly be greater than the
intent.
We have a suspicion that the real
'iutent" of the bill, the introducer,
and the committee is aimed at the
banking house Of Spreckels & Co.,
and the intent Is to stop the circula-
tion of that firms bank notes. If
we are mistaken, we shall be glad
to be corrected. Until proof to the
contrary is produced, however, we
shall remain under the influence of
this suspicion, and under it we ask,
what is the matter with Spreckels Il
Co.'s paper? Does anybody lose by
it? Is anybody likely to lose by it?
Remember, gentlemen, there is no
law which oompels you or anybody
else to take it, if you and they do
not want it, You are at perfect
liberty to refuse it any day in the
week, if you would rather not have
it. But most people prefer the paper
to the coin, because it is more con-
venient than the com, and they have
confidence that the coin is behind
the paper on demand. If your own
clique were issuing the same class of
paper, would you recommend the
passage of that bill? Yes, just in
as big a hurry as Hawaiian Minis
tiers resign their portfolios!
We should probably feel q little
respect for the proceedings in the
| premises if the gentlemen would
come out manfully, and designate
the measure "An Act TO prevent
Spreckels & Co. issuing bank notes,
and go straight to the spot intended
to be touched, instead of scattering
around and injuring general interest;
for the sake of getting in a dig al
one man. Why don't our legisla
tors drop the old narrow prejudice:
of the family compact, and legislatt
in broad and liberal spirit for tht
good of the country? Such Little
Peddlington proclivities and proceed
ings are enough to make sick mon
key squirm.

ENJOY WITH NE.

Mr.. EDITOR The appropria-
tions for roads as passed in the Le-
gislature appear to me as the dawn
of new life. Don't grudge, bat
enjoy with me the prospects of the
future: new roads, opening up of
the country, facilities for travellers
and tourists, what y blessing!
But this is only one side of the
question, allow me to illuminate the
other.
The amounts appropriated are no
doubt we'll appropriated, although
they seem large. This money, well
spent, does not go into the pockets
of English Bond Agents or rich
Steamship Companies, but into the
hands of needing laborers. What q
boom for poor people! God bless
the Legislature!
Now, allow me to add one single
request: Don't forget our native
population; give them the prefer
ence. Next to them the Portu-
guese. Please, Mr.. Thurston Even
if it costs little more. Don't make
cheap labor-contracts with Asia
tics. Live and let live. Make this
a law of the country and all natives
and kamaainanas will bless you.

and thoroughly, decline to touch it.

Seek the society and companionship
of good, sensible young women.
Not the dude girl, for there are
some dude girls as well as dude
boys. The dude girl is a positive
nuisance at all times and not worth
bothering about. But, the COM
pany of good, sensible girl, will
make you respect yourself, and you
cannot with any regard to your
manhood, go from her society to
that which is debasing and degrad-
ing to Yourself. Then on Sunday
afternoon, instead of making a fool
of yourself, in your room, go to
Thomas Square and enjoy yourself,
as God wants all His sensible crea.
lures to do, and bear in mind, that
he helps them who strive to help
themselves, and we old ones had
better try and "reach" ourselves.
Some of us want strong and per-
haps long rope, too much "gnat
and camel business" 'mote and

stock of beam, and the would-be

CORRESPONDENCE.
HOW TO REACH The PEOPLE.
BAND CONCERTS ON SUNDAY.

EDITOR BULLETIN down throw
the gauntlet and repeat. Band con-
certs on Sunday, and why not in
moral Honolulu? Far better TO go
out to Thomas Square on Sunday
afternoon and spend an hour or two
in listening TO good music and
pleasant chat than in gambling,
drinking and other demoralizing
pursuits, or after very rich and
heavy dinner, sleeping the after
noon away, preparatory to going to
church in the evening?
Again. Band plays on Saturday,
very nice and pleasant indeed for
those whose time is their own, but
how about that large class of the
community who finish the hard
weeks work at A O'Clock on that
day. They certainly have no time TO
go to the band, but they have on
Sunday, and how pleasant for the
husband, wife and young ones, to
be able to take walk to Thomas
Square. And under the beautiful
trees, sit down and enjoy them
selves; old man smoke his pipe, old
woman compare notes, ETC., etc.,
with the friends and the kids just
lying round loose, and then go home
for a cosy tea, and if church is the
order for the evening, better fitted
to thoroughly enjoy the sacred SER
vice.
And the much worried young
man, how we old ones do feel fol-
you. We have tried II variety OF
methods to "reach" you, toe
numerous to enumerate, and We
have not got you yet; and it does
seem that you will not be "reach-
ed'' by the lately tried socials, etc,
Now, right here, stop waiting fol
other people to "reach" you and dc
ms other "young men" have done in
all parts of Christendom, just
"reach" yourselves, and how? Well,
stop that poker at all times, but
more particularly on Sunday. You
cannot afford it physically, morally
and financially. Stop drinking fol
drinking's sake. Take your wine,
etc., as men who govern themselves.

THE DIFFUSION PROCESS.

EDITOR BULLETIN Il hand you
herewith report just received from
Kealia, of the working of the dffu-
sion battery for four days during
the past week. You will see that
the average dilulion of the juice is
less than 20 per cent, and the ave-
rage of sugar left in the exhausted
chips is o.65 of per cent.
am informed that the chips are
being dried better than before, and
that the battery has been working
up to 68 diffusers (or 1876 tons cane)
in II hours.
1t is intended to keep the battery
at work until the crop is taken off
say 4 to 6 weeks-and | will be glad
to have planters, and others inte-
rested in diffusion, inspect the same
during that time.

An immense amount of Legislation
has been undertaken by the Legis
lature during the present session.
a great deal more than is possible
for any legislature to carefully and
thoroughly consider, along with the
divers other matters to be examined
and passed upon, III one short scs-
sion OF three months or so. Some
measures have passed their final
stage and become law, some have
been strangled and committed to the
tomb, and others are still under con-
sideration or waiting to be con-
sidered.
We venture the opinion, that
if about three-fourths OF the
bills introduced had been plac-
ed aside in their first stage
it might have been q wise course,
then the remaining fourth could
have received proper attention. Not
that this is an easy thing to do,
where legislation is conducted in the
way that it is here, without Govern
ment control, and with any and
every member of the House at
liberty to bring forward measures
of their own any and every day OF
the week.
We repeat that it would be an
utter impossibility to give due con-
sideration, either in Committee or in
the House, to all the bills brought
forward. Where so much is at
tempted in so short a time, hasty
legislation, which is a very undesir.
able thing, must be the inevitable
result. Some of the measures al
ready passed show unmistakablc
signs of the prevalence of this ele'
ment, both in law and in logic.
Some of the members are tC
be credited with honest efforts tC
guard against this kind of thing
others with total indifference To i
so far as evidence to the contrary il
forthcoming, and still others Will
bull-at-a-gate endeavors to acceler
ate 1T.
The last named class came to th'
front one day last week, when tht
abolition of Governors bill, a meas
ure TO which some thinking people
at least, are opposed, was up fo-
third reading. They declined tt
listen to conservative counsels, tt
defer final action for few days
Aware that the vote on the SECOND
reading was in part the result of ex-
cited feeling, they were anxious to
pass the bill beyond the reach of
the House before members had re-
covered their reason and were can.
able of measuring it by its merits.
1t must be admitted that legisla
ton which aims at suddenly break
ing up or materially altering sys

TREASURY STATEMENT.

The Government published fin
ancial statement for the quarter
ending June 80, 1888, shows the re-
ceipts for the period to be $29S, ,467.-
so, which, added to S109, ,465. 60,
the amount in hand at the beginning
of the quarter, make a total of S407,-
933.19. The expenditures for the
same period are $2O3, ,73O.1O, leav-
ing cash IN the treasury S204, ,203.-
90. Among the receipts is an
amount of $97, ,000-from the Postal
Savings Bank and the Loan Fund
which is simply borrowed capital,
and will some day have to be re-
paid, Deducting this sum, and
also the amount in the treasury at
the beginning of the quarter, from
the! receipts, and taking from
the expenditures the item of 81 700
payment of national debt falling
due, as extraordinary expenditure,
the ordinary revenue of the quarter
is S562.51 below the ordinary ex-
pendilure. Considering that it is
not the season of direct tax collect
ing, this may be regarded as favo-
rable showing on its face. But how
about the outstanding promises to

RfYNAHS AND LANTANAS.

Two or three years ago u discus
sion was carried on through the col
umns OF the BULLETIN, by cores
pondents, respecting the merits and
demerits of the mynah bird. There
was no debating club in those days
to which to refer for settlement i'm
portant questions, 1t was held by
the friends of the mynah that he
was useful little creature, that he
was the destroyer Of obnoxious in
sccts, that he had almost eXtermiu-
ated the caterpillar which had been
so destructive to pasture, etc., and
that, therefore, the law protecting
him from the gunner was wise and
good. 1t was contended, on the
other side, that the mynah was not
deserving of so much credit for much
good service, that he was not n good
insect destroyer, that he was decided
ly averse to feeding on caterpillars
and that the decrease of that pest was
due to other causes, but that he was
the enemy of other and more useful
birds, and subsisted largely on
pigeon eggs and such luXuries, and
should, therefore, be outlawed and
exempted from protection. The
enemies of the mynah were consid-
cred TO have proved the two asser-
tions, that the impudent and happy
little feathered creature cares but
little for a dish of caterpilars and
has special proclivity for the lux
ury of pigeon eggs.
The discussion, like all discus
sions, ended; and like most discus
sions, produced little other effect
than the satisfaction afforded to the
wordy belligerents of having eased
themselves of pent-up ideas. Tho
mynah continued on the even tenor
of his way, and still lives, rejoices,
and procures the class of sustenance,
and in the way, most congenial tc
his taste.
But now crops up another gentle
man, who has no friendly feeling
for the mynah. His antagonism il
caused by the belief that the mynal
is doing great mischief by accelerat
ing the spread of that most PERM
cious of all vegetable growths in thi
kingdom, the lantana. 1t is sale
by persons who have watched anC
examined, that the seeds of thi
shrub are distributed by mynal
birds, and this is the cause of it
rapid spread in districts near Homo
lulu. Certainly if such be the fact
the Legislature may properly con
slider whether measures should b'
enacted for the determination in
stead Of the protection, of mynal
birds. We shall be glad to get {
hltle enlightenment upon this ques
ton,

AN UNSOuND ARGUMENT.

RN UNSUUkD hhHUMEHi'
The argument that cit is proflla-
BILE, there is money in it," used by
the Government in support of some
of its measures, is no new one; it
has been inherited from previous
administrations, but has become q
little intensified perhaps 10y a mix
ture with new blood. 1t seems to
be somewhat popular argument in
this country. We remember that
one of the strong pleas made for
licensing opium was, that it would
be the means of considerable re.
venue to the country, that there was
money in it for the Government.
The same argument has been used
in support of the liquor traffic. Cor
respondents have harped upon it in
the columns of the BULLETIN until
the 'sick monkey" has squirmed.
Lately the old argument has been
rehashed in the House and on the
streets, as n "clincher" in favor of
certain Government projects. Nei-
thcr its antiquity, its plausibility,
nor its popularity satisfies us of its
validity.
A merchant, shop-keeper, q
lawyer, printer, or any other class
of tradcsman or professional man,
keeps his business or practises his
profession primarily for the sake of
gain or profit. He may, by his bus
mess or by his profession, supply a
public want or confer public bene-
fit; but that is not his intention,
only in so far as it will prove mutu-
ally beneficial to himself. He is
not actuated by purely philanthro-
pic motives, with himself left out of
consideration. He serves the pub
! lie for his own emolument, and when
the emolument ceases the dear
public" may "whistle" in vain for
his services. This is "business"
the world over, and this is how the
world understands it.
But Government is not busi-
ness firm nor the superintendent OF
professional office. Government
| On constitutional country is from
the people, and is purely for the
benefit of the people, irrespective Of
the Government. 1T is entrusted
by the people with the protection of
life and property, and the perform
ance of various matters in which the
people in general are interested.
The people furnish the money, both
for the pay of the officials constitut.
ing the Government, and for effect.
ing the ends entrusted to it. Thi;
money is not given to the Govern
ment for the purpote of "invest
ment," from which it is required tc
return profitable interest; but fol
expenditure" in the interest of the
public welfare. The "interest' re-
quired and expected by .he people
on the outlay, is the public benefit
The only legitimate ''interest" tc
the Government is enhanced ability
and Willingness on the part of th'
people to pay taxes, and an increase
of taxpayers and of the value o
taxable property.

ORDER OF THE DAY.

The House then went into COM
mittee of the whole, to consider the
Appropriation Bill.
Aid to newspapers to advertise
the Islands, $4,000, was taken up
for discussion.
Rep. Nakaleka spoke against this
appropriation as useless expendi-
ture.
Noble Castle spoke in favor of
the amount being paid, but not cons
fined to the objects as outlined by
the Minister of the Interior, but to
be used in any way that will pro-
duce the best results. lie colnpar-
ed this manner of advertising the
country to the successful advertis-
ing of private individuals, such as
DR.. D. Jaynes, Mother Siegel's Sy-
rup, ,etc. land the unprecedented sue
cess of these people, simply from
judicious advertising. He looked
upon this as sound business in
vestment, and as profitable to the
Government as it would be to pri-
vatc individual.
Noble Baldwin spoke of the me-
thod of advertising, and said that
promiscuous newspaper advertising
was not as rule success, as for
eign papers were generally relegated
to the waste basket. He thought
that those people whom Mr.. Castle
referred to gained their success not
by newspaper advertising but by
| posting attractive advertisements in
every conceivable place, on the tops
| of mountains and in the deepest
valley. He would therefore like to
have this items referred to COM
mittee of five, with instruction to
investigate the most feasible and
practicable plan of advertising, the
country. His experience had taught
him that the best way to advertise a
country is by pictures, illustrative
of the places of interest, and the
routes by which such place can be
reached. By organizing excursions
to these places, in company with
some transportation company, and
in this way bring the country prac-
tically before the world.

ried.
