The weather was remarkably fine and the
water was extraordinarily smooth, although
there was breeze. As the fotilla neared Bed
loe's island large sloop sailed close to the
barge and moved parallel with it, while about
twenty ladies and gentlemen sang an original
ode OF praise to Washington, the words being
set to the tune Of God Save the King" WASH
ington was very much affected BY this touch
ing display OF popular regard. just as the
singers finished their ode a school of por-
poises appeared in the midst of the little feet,
bObbing up and down as though inquiring as
to the reason why there was so much commo-
ton and rejoicing. The shores were crowded
with thousands OF people, and 30 great was the
feet Of boats in the river that the surface Of
the water was hardly to be seen anywhere.
The larger vessels fred salutes and were mag
nifcently decorated with bunting. At the ferry
stairs carpetings and hangings of crimson
were features in the preparations made for
combined comfort and display. The Presi-
dent-elect was received by Governor Clinton
and his staff and by many Of Washington's old
officers, all in full uniform. The streets were
30 crowded that it was only with the greatest
difficulty that . way could be cleared for the
distinguished party. Flags and flowers in pro-
fusion were displayed from every house and
the windows were Illuminated with the spark

body-guard was rendered Washington, and in

TIE report Of the special committee
on the Police Building accounts, made
to the Legislature, discloses a new set of
facts which throw whole food OF fresh
light on the methods OF the piratieal
gang who used 10 have possession of the
Government. Out of about sol 600
charged to the appropriation, above
SIS, 200 was used for other purposes al
together. The individuals who managed
shzirs made up 8 fund from different
appropriations, whenever there hap
Pened to be 3 convenient balance on an
account, and then they used the money
according to their own sweet viii. The
Legislature lent itself to the frauds and
Illegal practices by the unspeakable
folly Of the appropriation bill which it
passed.
The aforesaid individuals also over
psid the contractor, Mr.. Thomas, s., 500
on his contract, and Mr.. Lucas 500
on his. The report is to be published
in full, and VIII interest everyone who
likes 5 spicy and entertaining scandal.

suggested, the time is rapidly approach
ing. if it is not already here, when a
paid force will be necessary.

EVERY thoughtful person must feel
that it is important now, in our new re-
lations, that no mistakes be made. The
vital force of the Government prior to
the revolution was Capitalization. The
King had nearly succeeded in centering
all power in himself. The revolution
and new constitution changed this. The
intention OF the constitution is to give
us, to certain extent, what England
has, responsible Government centered
in the Cabinet. 1t remains to be seen
how our constitution works in the pro-
lection of our rights. 1t was not the in
tention at all to create an irresponsible,
highly centralized Government, and it
is complained by many that such will
be the effect of the passage of such bills
as the Act to abolish the office of Cover
nor, the Police bill, the Militsry bill,
and others. Besides some exhibition of
bitterness, this is virtually the complaint
OF W. Goodale in the Bulletin of June
l4th. Ii it is so, We should reconsider
before permitting such bills to become
law. But is it true? Will the passage
of such bills centralize everything in
Honolulu? If the office of Governor is
abolished, the duties of the Office will be
performed by officers who belong to and
reside in the several circuits. True, the
Sheriffs are appointed in Honolulu, but
they are not residents of Honolulu
Can this be said Of the Governors
Who sppoints them now? Whence
came the present Governors? So with
other officers; who has appointed them
in the past? What changes, for in
stance, are there in the Police bill?
Subordinate officers will be, as hitherto,
appointed in the several circuits, prob
ably from persons resident there. These
officers will be accountable to the Sher-
ifs, who will reside there. Why not be
responsible to the Sheriff as to the Gov
ernor?
1t must be remembered that Hawaii
is small country, and that it probably
can be governed as well from Honolulu
as from any number of separate points,
The principle for which we strive to-day
is to have all public affairs accountable
and responsible to some one who is ulti-
mstely responsible to the Legislature.
The people speak through their repre-
sentatives; therefore it seems correct
system which makes all public servants,
who are heads of departments or bu-
reaus, responsible to the Legislature, and
all subordinate officers accountable to
such heads. 1t must not be forgotten,
either, that one of the foundation stones
OF the whole reform movement is the
sbrogation of superhuous offices.

THE Married Women's Property Act is
so radical that there is little hope of its
passing as it stands, and for that matter
We would not have it do so. Yet, after
all, it does not seem as though it con-
tanned any provision undesirable in
itself, although the addition of some
new features might further improve it..
1t is objected that the act gives women
more property rights then men have,
and practically it does. 1t seems to US
that this might be remedied by some
additions. For instance, as the absolute
obligation OF the husband to support the
wife was based upon the fact that he
was entitled to her services and master
of her property, why not, if this is to be
changed, limit the right to support to
the case where the wife has not an indie
pendent income? Why not make the
property of each liable for family ex-
penses. and the estate OF the wife equally
liable with that OF the husband, for the
support OF children? These provisions
would tend to equalize the property
rights OF both.

The Act to promote the construction Of
steam railroads on the island of Oahu,
was reported from the printing commit
tee yesterday, and will come before the
House for discussion soon. 1t is short,
and we subjoin the full text:
The Minister OF the Interior is hereby
authorized TO enter into contract with
Benjamin F. Dillingham; and his asso.
ciates, upon their associating themselves
together under the General Corporation
Law of this Kingdom, for the purpose of
building and operating railroad from
Honolulu to some point on the Pearl
River Lagoon, thence to Waianae, Waia-
lua and Koolau, and back to Honolulu,
upon such route and on such lines, and
subject to such requirements and condi-
tons as said Minister shall think pro-
per; and such contract shall secure to
such corporation the exclusive privilege
for the term Of thirty years OF operating
steam railroads upon the island of Oahu,
subject to such requirements and condi-
tons as aforesaid; and the said contract
may also contain q clause whereby it
shall be declared that any portion Of
such road, during construction and for
three years after completion, is exempt
from taxation.

Ok TUESDAY,, at the request of the pro-
scouting officer, 3 nolle prosequi was en-
tered against Mr. Tregloan. This closes
the history Of what seems TO have ben
$ very hasty, iIl-advised and groundless
prosecution, if not something more. We
congratulate Mr.. Tregloan on his nium-

Mr.. Tregloan is nothing more than
might have happened to any merchant
in Honolulu, and it is difficult to con-
ceive why the suit was ever brought
The instituting Of 3 suit on insufficient

cial and social injury, Yexztion and loss

attorney OF reputation and character

leaves many of the most salient points
to be settled by the Minister Of the L.
terror when he contracts with the coy
porStion to be formed. 1t would, per
haps, be wiser to embody everything Of
importance in the Act itself. There viii
be time enough, however, to discuss that
when the Bill comes up for consideration
in the House. We are more interestednOw
in considering some features of the rail-
road scheme itself, and its relation 10 the
public good. The projectors hope to be
able TO begin work within eighteen
months from the passage Of the Act,
and perhaps within c year. They do
not guarantee to finish the road
within less than three years. OF
course great enterprises cannot be put
through with the same expedition as an
omnibus line, for instance, and yet the
country has had to wait long enough,
even, for an omnibus line. It is ex-
pected that the cost Of laying the road
will not exceed $4,000 s mile. The
road bed is to be smooth, safe and solid;
the passenger accommodations first class
in every particular. 1t is intended to
get as much of the stock subscribed for
here as our local capitalists will take; to J,
have the central offices of the road here

That the present bill, more or less
modified, perhaps, in some of its pro-
visions, will pass in some form or other,
may be looked upon as certain. We
should be cutting our own Threats in re-
fusing to entertain such measure. The
public has not merely nothing to lose by
it, but everything to gain, and the trif-
ing subsidy Of 81 800 per mile, provided
by the Act of 1884, is bagatelle, when
weighed against the incaIculabIe advan-
tages which must inevitably inure to
the country from the success OF this
scheme. The railroad is as much a
pioneer Of civilization to-day, as mis-
sionaries, for instance, are or ever have
been. 1t brings with it population, com
mercial prosperity, wealth in every one
Of its countless forms, and finally, through
the medium OF its material achieve
ments, the very arts and sciences them
seiyes-eyeything in fact which goes to
enrich and dignity our lives. In the
nineteenth century, you cannot have
civilization In an Arcadia. Progress ia

conditions are more largely material.

We might spend columns in enumer-
ating the advantages which this railroad
will bring the public without exhausting
the list. Everyone can supply examples
for himself. 1t win open up and render
profitable lands which now are either
useless altogether or the richness OF
which is squandered in the support of a
few head OF cattle. 1t will create new
industries, develop new . sources of
wealth, new means of health, profit and
pleasure. Merchants, clerks and BUSH
ness men generally can do their bust
ness in Honolulu, and have their homes
on some OF the beautiful slopes near
Pearl River. Vegetables can be cult
waited on land which costs $40 per acre.
and not, as in some cases at present, on
land worth $1,000. A thousand other
benefits might be specified if our space

Reforms and improvements Of all
kinds come so slowly in this world, that
great many people OF sober magma
tons disbelieve in them altogether, but
they come at last, after ALL So let it be
with this railroad. An act was passed
by the Legislature four years ago, to en-
courage the building Of steam railroads
in this Kingdom, but not track seems
ever to have been laid in consequence.
The public has been disappointed so
often and so deeply that 1t is no wonder
it is disposed to be entirely skeptical, and
to look upon plan ike the present as
rather golden dream than a solid real
ity. We think. however, that the con-
ditions are more favorable now for sue
cess in raising the requisite capital than
they have ever been before, and We have
faith to believe that within few years
a steam road, solidly laid, well equipped
and provided with first class accommo-
dations, will be an assured fact.
