dropped as soon as the election was
over. The trick Is not worn out
vet, and we advise, DR.. Oliver to
try it Immediately. Under cover
of long complaint, duly filed in
the Supreme Court, Mr.. Spencer
will probably be able to scare up
independence " enough 10 make
the appointment, and when the
candidate is safely installed and in
possession of the emoluments Of
office, there will be nothing to
hinder him from acting like a
Christian, forgiving the ADVERTISER
and Withdrawing the suit. Getting
out a warrant would be even more
effective. That step always sur
rounds damaged reputation with
a halo of glory. Still, abuse OF

divers safest bluff will be suit al
law.
Perhaps the best way out of the
whole difficulty would be to leave
the appointment entirely to the in
mates of the Asylum. AS they arr
all stark, staring mad, it is not a
all unlikely that they would ap
point Minister Spencer's candi
date by reclamation, and thereby
relieve him from an odious respon
sibility.
We have referred to the scene il
the House lightly, because it doe
not deserve serious treatment, blu
it should never be forgotten tina
the matter itself is very serlou
one involving as it does not mere
! ly grave principle, but the credi
. of the Cabinet and the interests c
the unfoI tunate insane.

a prolific source of political corrup-
ton.
The Crown Lands constitute
about one-third of the arabic area
of the country. They have hereto
fore been leased out almost entirely
by private contract. The result
has been in many instances that the
rankest favoritism has been prac-
tised, and the granting or withhold
ing of crown land lease mas more
than once been a make weight In
an election which has been decisive
of the result.
Without any imputation against
the present commissioners, this is
power which no one should be able
to exercise in connection with the
public domain.
The passage of this bill will result
only in good 1t will benefit the
Sovereign by materially increasing
his revenue; it will benefit the
country by so increasing the King S
revenue that he will soon be able
to get along without large salary
voted from the general treasury; IT
will be fair and equitable to the
whole public, giving every one an
equal opportunity to lease the land
and it will more than all remove

By all means let the Crown Land:
be leased at auction. For once

CROWN LAND LEASES.

1t is but seldom that an oppor-
tunity is offered to commend Mr..
Bush's actions; so seldom that it is
a genuine pleasure to be able to
honestly agree with him once in a
while. The bill which be has intro
duced, compelling the crown land
leases to be put up at auction, is a
good one, and should meet with the
approval and assistance of every
member of the House who desires

THE RIGHT OF THE LEGIS-
LATURE TO DEAL WITH
THE CROWN LANDS.

The claim which from sense of
duty, successive Commissioners of
Crown Lands have made, that the
Crown Lands were not public
lands. but the private property of
the King, and that the Legislature
had no control over them, is rather
stale at this late day.
The Legislature has always exer-
cised control of them. 1t created
the office of Crown Land Commits
sioners, placed the Crown Lands in
their control and defined their
rights, powers and duties. 1t
passed a law forbidding their sale.
1t passed law prohibiting their
lease for longer term than thirty
years. 1t passed law forbidding
the collection of rents therefrom
for more than one year in advance.
1t passed a law declaring that all
the rents should be for the use of
the reigning sovereign for the time
being. 1t passed law authorizing
and directing the commissioners to
set apart one-fourth of the receipts
from the Crown Lands to pay off
certain mortgages and debts which
had been contracted by a preced-
ing sovereign. 1t passed a law
conveying the land of Wailuku to
Claus Spreckels. In addition tc
this the Legislature has in many
minor ways, by calling the commits.
sioners to account and otherwise
continuously exercised contro
over the lands ever since there was
such thing as Crown Lands.
All of these acts of control by
the Legislature have been ap
proved by the reigning sovereign
for the time being, upheld by th'
courts, and are the foundation o
an immense number of real estat,
titles in the Kingdom.
The doctrine that the Grown
Commissioners are power floating
in the air above the reach Of th,
people and the Legislature, an,
that the Crown Lands, becaus
they have been by the Legislator
devoted to certain definite publ
uses, are there for some unknown
underlined reason, absolutely AM

THE DAILY
SATURDAY.
MINISTER SPENCER'S DE
CLARATION OF INDIE
PENDENCE.

The Minister of the Interior
stated to the House yesterday that
his decision in regard to the APP
pointment of DIR. Oliver would not
be affected in the least by any state
ments in the ADVERTISER. That is,
the facts in regard to DIR. Oliver, as
the public ore assured shall not be
taken into consideration in making
the appointment. While this may
we'll be a comforting assurance to
the Doctor, VIC have our doubts
whether it will prove equally so
to the public at large. The House,
however,or part of them, received
this equivocal declaration of indie
pendence with unmistakable signs
of appreciation.
We have long had lurk-
ing suspicion that Mr.. Spencer's
independence was something of
this color.
The Minister of Interior further
proceeded to annihilate the ADvER-
TIsER by stating that DIR. Oliver is
gentleman, and that he had
known him sixteen years. These
are statements which we do not
presume to deny, but will content
ourselves with meekly limiting that
they do not appear to be conclusive
of the controversy. A gentleman,
like every other good fellow, is not
precluded from taking his whiskey
clear" and cases have been known
of an unmistakable aptitude in this
direction, even among gentlemen.
Still it will doubtless be great
consolation to the inmates of the
Asylum when gagging under the
wrong medicine, or perishing from
the lack of any at all, to reflect that
the Doctor is q gentleman, and that
the Minister has known him (and
drunk with him) for sixteen years.
Minister Spencer also stated that
DR.. Oliver was an able physician
He may be equal to the most famous
practitioners of Berlin or Paris, fol
anything we know to the contrary
but the fact has no bearing what
ever on the specific charges which
have been made against him.
1t is not unlikely that the Doctor
will be appointed in order to prove
that Minister Spencer is not influ
enced by the ADVERTISER. We beg
and entreat the Minister not te
make the unhappy inmates O
the Asylum the victims of such
very superf1uous demonstration
In any case we cannot see how the
Minister can have the effrontery te
make this appointment, with these
charges outstanding and unan
swered. When Colonel Dudley
was charged by the New York
Times with recommending bribery
of voters in blocks of five, he die
not lose his presence of mind fol-
one moment Che was too cool {
hand for that), but Immediately
brought an action against th'
