THE evil genius who presides
over the doings of legislators has
taken the Appropriation bill off the
Order, and put it upon the Dis
order, of the Day. The bill is now
the signal for wild scramble, in
which each member goes chasing
his own pet VIII O the Wisp, while
by convenient system of mutual
accommodation, each supports the
fancies of the other in turn. The
result is that the bill is being
crowded with appropriations of
money, much of which is for moth
ing useful, and none of which will
ever be spent. In the meantime,
real business is at a standstill. 1t
is time that legislators should re-
member that their function is to
do the business of the country, and
not to conduct themselves like a
parcel of truant school boys. The
practice of throwing around paper
balls, with which some of the mem
bers have begun to divert them.
selves, is quite as rational as much
of the alleged work done-and fal
more harmless.

written orations into a moderate
space, and sometimes the one grain
of sense in the mountains of ehaff
gets lost in the operation. 1t re-
quires an argus-eyed reporter to
keep the said grain in sight, for, as
in the case of the restless flea,
" Now you see it, and now you
don't"
IF the legislative orator occa-
sionally owes grudge against the
reporter for failing to find
the needle in the hay-stack,
this is at least as often
balanced by the fact that the
reporter charitably supplies the
meaning which the speaker missed.
Not many Of our law makers dis
course in the smooth and sonorous
vein of Pitt, and they would feel it
deep grievanceif the reporter ven
tured to put down what they some
times actually do say. Instead Of
giving rein to his malice, however,
the latter draws the veil of rhe-
torical charity over their shortcom-
ings and corrects a grammatical
blunder, omits a painful tautology,
or smooths the road for sentence
which goes joltingly over the ear
like cart without springs, without
making any charge for these benev-
client services at all. On the whole
we think honors are easy

A good many applications
for Tantalus lots have already
been made, and the lots have
been laid out, but no sale has
been advertised. The great
depression in business result
ing from the Mckinley Bill has
necessarily dampened temporarily
the zeal of intending buyers.
Otherwise, they would have pressed
for sale, and the very first auc-
ton would have yielded at least
$4,000. We know of persons who
would have built six months ago,
if they had had the opportunity.
There is nothing in the neighbor-
hood of Honolulu which can begin
to compare with the lands around
Tantalus for the purposes of SUBJ
| urban residence, so far as climate
and scenery are concerned. The
thermometer ranges about ten de-
grees below our summer tempera-
ture, and is delightfully."- bracing
The distance is not great, and some
of the best localities may be
reached by a pedestrian starting
from Punchbowl street, as easily a:
Kapiolani Park. It would be {
great mistake not to complete tht
road, and we hope that the item
NAV be restored to the Bill.

THE TANTALUS ROAD

Section 2 of the Appropriation
Bill contains an item of $4,000 for
the completion of the Tantalus
road which was struck out of
the bill yesterday on motion of
the Minister of Finance.
We cannot believe that the Min
lister is really acquainted with the
merits of this matter or he would
never have made this motion. The
road was begun with the intention
of opening up several hundred
acres of land for settlement, chiefly
for country residences, in the ex-
pectation that the sales of land
would pay for its cost. Seventeen
thousand dollars have already
been spent and about $4,000 more
are required to complete it. If
the Government is to get any re-
turn for the money spent, it must
finish the road. 1t is quite true
that some magnificent sites for
country houses have already been
reached, but most of these do not
belong to the Government. The
best of the Government land lies
higher up. Every foot of road re-
naming to be built will run di-
rectly through it. 1t is too late to
consider the policy of building this
road, as most of it is already built
and paid for. To stop now is to
destroy the prospect of an adequate
financial return.

SHOULD GET TOGETHER. :

The Plutocratic Press North and South
Differ Widely Concerning the Birming-
ham Conference.
1t is both amusing and edifyinp to
note the widely divergent opinions ex-
pressed by the partisan newspapers
concerning the address promulgated by
the Birmingham, Ala, conference In
the west, northwest and north a tre-
mendous effort is being made by the
old party organs to keep the members
of the alliance and other industrial or
ganizations from going into the peoples
party. In line with this effort is the
endeavor to make it appear that the al
lance in the southern states is reliably
democratic and that southern alliance
men have no intention of voting any
ticket other than the democratic. Full
well do these plutocratic leaders know
that so soon as it is known that there is
a prospect of political revolution in
the heretofore solid south there will be
an influx into the peoples party in
every northern state
Thus the Kansas City Star, a Grover
Cleveland organ, so soon as the address
issued by the Birmingham conference
ton ''The Requiem of the Third Party" /"
to assure its readers that this made it
certain that the southern alliance lead
ers were unfriendly to the peoples
party and that southern alliancemen
would solidly vote the democratic ticket
The Kansas City Journal, a repu blican
paper, commented upon the results of
the meeting at Birmingham as follows:
''The result of the Birmingham con-
ference of the southern alliance officials.
summed up, is that the alliance people
In the south will stay in the democratic
party and greatly enjoy seeing their
brethren in the northwest make fools
OF themselves"
Strangely enough, however, the DEM
ocratic papers in the south take an On
tirely different view of the matter and
consider the address issued by the confer
enee to be plain and explicit declara-
ton that alliancemen in the south
should vote the peoples party ticket
The Memphis (Tenn-) Commercial, q
stanch democratic paper, comments az
follows upon the address, under the
caption, THE Birmingham Ulti-
matum:"
Perhaps the key TO the vague and
smoky manifesto issued by the alliance
gathering at Birmingham is that it was
not intended to be understood. Just
why conference compelled by the fact
that the order was entering the cru
claI period in its history and which
was announced to be the most impor.
tant ever held, should have satisfied
itself with such jargon of words Is
hard to understand upon any other
hypothesis than that our noble order
spoke the plain word to the brethren IA
secret and issued its manifesto for the
public at large. The aphorism credited
to various statesmen that the proper use
OF words is to conceal ideas appears 70

SCIENTIFIC TAXATION.

Does the Single Tax System Possess the
Perfection Claimed For It BY Its Advo-
Gates.
In my last communication promised
to outline, in future article, what in
my opinion would be fair, just, equit-
able and scientific taxation. shall as
sumo at the outset that the inaugura-
ton of a system of free trade and rigid,
repressive legislation will destroy all
trusts and combines and start up anew
an economic, Industrial system of full,
free, fair and unrestricted competition.
1t is true find myself, as q nationalist,
wondering why, If competition is bad
thing, more competition Is not q worse
thing, but that is not At present rele-
want to the question at issue In this dis
cussion,
Our first province Is to inquire and, il
possible, determine what are the pur-
poses and uses of taxation. Why are
taxes collected, and how is the money
spent? For what reason does 1t become
the duty of all citizens to pay taxes?
What various and conflicting principles
are involved? Who pays tho taxes at
present? Who should pay them? ETC.,
ETC., etc. Primarily speaking, taxes are
collected to defray the expenses of what
we call 'the government"-not only of
the whole people collectively, as a ma
ton, but also of the smaller aggrega-
tions, or communities, as, for instance,
states. counties, townships, cities, towns
and villages What do we mean and what
is involved by the expression, Expenses
OF the government As the three SUI
preme divisions or heads Of our govern
ment are the legislative, the executive
and the judicial, such expenses may be
said to principally be incurred for the
purpose OF making laws, enforcing or
executing laws and defining or adjudg-
ing laws. These are the principal legi-
innate objects and powers of all govern
ments In time of peace. The army and
navy involve more or less expense, but
are unnecessary ad1uncts of govern
