the Session Laws of 1884, which are as fol-
lows:

Honolulu, Aug. q, 1890. As 1887
The Pacific commercial advertiser. [volume] (Honolulu, Hawaiian Islands) 1885-1921, 1890-09-08

Legislature should consider the aues-
ton precisely as though no work had
been done, and as though there was now
proposition made to them TO under
take TO iortiiy the. walls in the manner
done BY Mr.. Bowler Tor the sum of
81 900.
Ii the Legislature think that this
would be wise, and that the best inter
ests of the country require such work to
be done, then let them vote it and pay
the claim.
Ii they consider that the limited funds
in the Treasury can be better spent than
in building notifications. then let them
say so and refuse to vote money for this
purpose
Or to look at the case in another light,
Mr.. Bowler's legal status before the
Legislature is precisely the same as that
of Peter Lee, who desires an appropria-
ton for certain work done on a road in
kau
Mr.. Lee has no legal claim on the
Legislature, but simply presents pro
position, on its merits, that the public
interests will be furthered by making an
appropriation for his road, even though
II was not first authorized by the Legis-
lature.
Ii the Legislature think Mr.. Lees
proposition sound one, they have the
right to make the appropriation or with
hold it whether it has been authorized
by Minister or not.
Mr.. Bowler's claim should be judged
upon the same basis.
When Mr.. Bowler asked me to recon-
mend to the Legislature an appropris-
ton for notifications, was unable, with
my views of the necessities OF the coun-
try, to do so. Ii the Legislature think
differently, and desire to go into the for
LITIGATION business they have right to
do so.

Mr.. Knudsen Speaks.

Mr.. EDITOR: 1t is good to be
smart, but better to be correct.
Rep. Knudsen's way to prevent
bigotry is not "to substitute Cath
Ollie schools but it is "to cease dis
eliminating against st. Louis school
and other good schools" as long as
they are open at any time for the
inspection of the Government school
inspector, and second, as long as
no religious instruction is given in
school hours.
Rep. knudsen would vote for
substituting reformed schools. or
Puritan schools, or any really good
schools, if this nation and this Gov
eminent were Catholic.
Rep. Knudsen thinks that if you
wish to root out bigotry in others,
you must begin the operation on
yourself, Mr.. Editor. People often
see the mote in their brothers eye,
and are unable to see the beam in
their own eye.

Threatened Amalgamation of the LeGis-
lative and Executive Branches of
Government.
Mr.. EDITOR: In the Legislative
proceedings of Friday last, it is re-
ported that that body passed the
following resolution: ' That the
Minister of the Interior be request
ed to request the President of the
Board of Health to resign, immedl-
ately," which was approved by
vote of 81 to 10. In obedience to
this most extraordinary mandate,
the Minister requested DR.. Kimball
to resign, which he declined to do
until some reasons were assigned
for it. It is not uncommon for
Minister to demand the resignation
of subordinate officer in his de-
partment, when he is. dissatisfied
with him or finds that he is incom-
petent to perform the duties re-
CURED, and it is generally accom-
panied with the reasons that COM
PEELED him to take such acton.
But this is probably the first in
stance on record where the Legis-
lature has peremptorlly demanded
the dismissal of the head of a bu-
reau, without cause assigned, whose
ability to fill the position we'll has
been generally acknowledged, and
whose professional duties have been
creditably performed. Neither the
British Parliament nor the Ameri-
can Congress has ever undertaken
to run the executive branch of the
Government in such an unlawful
manner. Their Constitution. and
ours also, provides that the three
branches of the government
SHALL ALWAYS BE PRE-
SERVED DISTINCT" They con-
slider it to be their duty to make
laws, not to run the Government
If such proceedings are to be-
come the established precedent in
Hawaii, it may follow that the next
Legislature will demand the dis
missal of one or all of the justices
of the Supreme Court, or even the
abdication of the King, on the
ground that 1T elected him, and
that it is I" the supreme power IN
the land !" To say the least, this
action of the Legislature is most
extraordinary, unwise, illegal and
tending to unsettle, if not destroy,
good government in Hawaii. AS a
precedent, it IS sure to make mis-
chief. Vox POPULI.

An instance of the reckless way
in which the House has got into
the habit of appropriating money

DIR. BULLE, the author of a very
valuable and impartial history of
Europe from 1915 to 1885, says in
closing his work that no one who,
like the author himself is actively
engaged in politics, will pretend
that he is always able to do his politi-
cal opponents justice. A touch of the

THE PALACE WALLS AND GATEs-A CLAIM
FOR $1,000.
The committee states:
l. That in November, 1886, tenders
were asked for certain work to be done
on the Palace wall.
2. That Mr.. Bowler's was the lowest
bid, and was accepted.
3. That after this job was completed,
further job was on February LIST, 1887,
given to Mr. Bowler ION the other walls
for the same alterations as the Likelike
street Gates" which at the rate paid
for the former work would amount to
$1,000.
4. That he was to wait for payment
till Feb. l, 1899, as the appropriation was
nearly exhausted.
5. That the work was done and APP
proved by the Minister of Interior and
the Superintendent of Public Works.
6. That when the bill became due Mr.
Bowler asked the then Minister of the
Interior, l.. A. Thurston, to have an item
for the amount inserted in the Appropria-
ton Bill of 1888, which he refused.
On this statement the committee re-
commend the payment of the claim.
| desire to state:
First-That the committee has, unin-
territorial, no doubt, incorrectly informed
the Legislature in their third statement
that the work done con the other walls"
was ''for the same alterations as the
Likelike street Gates" The fact is that
in 1886 the rear wall OF the Palace yard
was in an unsightly and unfinished con-
dition, and there was no gate at all at the
Likelike street entrance, barricade of
rough boards closing gap in the wall at
that point.
An appropriation to finish the rear
wall and erect gate at the Likelike
street entrance was asked of the Legis-
lature OF 1886.
No other work on the Palace walls was
proposed or thought of

The work for which the $1,000 was
agreed to be paid was not repairing"
the walls at all. 1t was for demolshing
the curve OF the walls on each side of the

all of which were in periecl condition,
and comparatively new, and reversing

ness and unfairness in the expendi-
ture of school funds, but nowhere
developed anything bearing directly
on the propriety or necessity or
even utility of appropriating this
particular sum to st. Lotis College.
Anyone who really wished this
item to pass ought to have told the
House in the first place what sums
had been given to the school in the
past; what sums had been given to
other independent schools; how
many scholars st. Louis College
had educated in comparison with
the other independent schools; how
much of the 100000 already APP
propriated for schools would by
right go to ST. Louis, etc, ETC., and
finally that the school needed the
aid. Ii the result of all these various
facts had shown that st. Louis Col
lege was justly entitled to special
appropriation of $4,000, then the
House would have been in posi-
tion to decide whether it could
afford to insert that amount into a
section of the Appropriation Bill
which already contains more than
the estimated revenue.
Not one of any of these facts
was brought out in the course OF
the discussion, the House simply
waving all questions of mere in.
formation, while Rep. Knudsen
even sounded a pecan to the school
for it's modesty in not having asked
for more.
Not one dollar ought to be given
to the ST. Louis College or to any
other religious school, unless the
Government gift is accompanied
with the right of Government in
spection. This is an indispensable
condition to any sound use of the
public money for private schools
and without it, such appropriations
cannot be defended on principle
Nothing was said in the late dis
cussion about the right of Govern.
ment inspection, and we believe
that under the terms of this appro
priation, the Government will not
be able to assert any such right
Even if private schools pursued
none but public objects, our con
tention would still hold good, but il
should not be forgotten that reli'
gious schools have other objects
besides more secular education, and
that those objects are not entitled
to Government aid at all.
Nothing that has here been said
should be construed as an objection
to Government aid to St. Louis
College. We believe in treatin g
the schools of all denominations
alike. The Government ought to
be blind to religious differences. Il
ought to take no account of reli
glon at all, except indeed so far a:
tenets may be protested which are
hostile to society or to the State
1t would be wiser to refuse all aic
to private schools, and leave them
to be supported entirely by private

of assuming the whole burden, but

Evils of Promiscuous Bathing. 4;

A few years ago stockings we,re, not

stockings cut SO as to expose the toes,

describes as item tiny pink Shells"

without even having seen it. He is
usually tethered by string attached
to his leg, and sits upon his owners
finger, or hops about on his arm; some
times too, he adorns a tall perch in
front of the doorway. A lady at the
hotel remarked that ''it was touching
to see how fond these poor people weCe
of their little birds.'' The mystery
was soon solved. Returning from a
drive one afternoon, we passed the,
colossal gateway of the great mosque,
and saw that the broad and towering
flight of steps before the principal
entrance was covered with scattered
groups of people. all intent on some
occupation of absorbing interest. So
vast and imposing was the architect
ural background that the crowd of
little figures suggested one of Martins
weird pictures of the Judgment Day.
Some great religious ceremony was
evidently going on. So we got out,
deeply impressed, to obtain a nearer
view, when, behold, in the centre of
each little group was a pair of these
birds in mortal combat; and they
fought as pluckily as the bravest of

And Yet in the Meantime Draw
ing a Handsome Interest.
Are the Proceeds Going Into the
Republican Campaign Exchequer9
Let Dan Ryan, Republican Candidate for
Secretary of State, Answer.

COLUMBUS, O., Oct. 49, (Speeaal)-
Dan Ryan, the Republican Secretary
of State, is posing as reformer, as
purist, an economist and statesman.
This is all very we'll for statesman, es-
pecially when he is candidate before
the people with bad record behind him.
Recent developments show that Dams
pretensions are not only fraudulent, but
that his record, as public servant, Is
bad. AS everybody knows, some months
ago heavy fee, amounting to about
S75, 900, was paid into the Office OF the
Secretary of State for the incorporation
of certain railroad company.
The people who paid this money into
the treasury of the State did not believe
it was right thing to do, and SO they
kicked about it. That is to say, they con-
cluded to test the constitutionality of
the act, and in accordance with that
opinion, they enjoined the payment OF
that money into the State treasury.
This amount is very large and would be
considered quite a fortune by almost
anybody. In fact the interest on the
money would be considerable and in it.
self an ample competence to support
several families comfortably, and OF
course the voters suppose that the State
is drawing interest on this money.
Nobody would dare think other
wise for Republican a9-
ministration would hardly think
of doing any thing not exactly
honest or square. But as matter OF
fact where is this money? Is the State
really drawing interest on the S75, 00Oi
The answer to this question is some
what in doubt. Some say the State is
not, others do not pretend to say. Some
say that certain banks, friendly to the
present Secretary of State in Ports
mouth and elsewhere, are deriving the
benefit from that money belonging tc
the people. Mr.. Ryan has had it in his
possession a good while. None of hi:
reports ever say any thing about the
interest that is accruing on it fol
over six months. The question nat
urally arises, who is getting the benefi
from this money. Is it lying idle or i:
it making money for friends of the pres
ent Republican candidate in the bank
ing business? Certainly that amour
of money would be earning something
1t would be in the hands of an individ
ual, and why shouldn't it be earning
money for the people to whom it right
fully belongs? Let Mr.. Ryan answe
this question. Who is getting the ben
eft of this S75, 600 tied up by legal in
junction? Does any part of it go int
the Republican campaign fund? Th'
voters want to know this, and the soon
or the better-for Dan Ryan.

1t forces them to sell their surplus at
prices regular in the open markets of the
world.
1t taxes them night and day, wet or
dry, hot or cold, in season or out of sea-
son, and the result is they have hard
time to make ends meet.
Some people say the Improbable con-
dition of our farmers as class is due to
their extravagant habits of living.
Perhaps this is so, but it must be re-
membered that their extravagant habits
is condition forced upon them by ads
eliminating tax law.
1t is saidthat the farms in Ohio are
mortgaged for about 5000, 900, 600.
The interest on that at per cent.
means S4s, 000, 900 year.
These are some of the things which
have resulted from the Republican
method of taxation.
What a blessed thing it is to be
taxed.
