generally conceded that this pension
business had more to do with the de-

a more equitable readjustment of
burdens. The widows two mites
were more to her than anything
cast into the treasury out Of the
abundance of the rich. An heir is
the beneficiary of another mans
labor He enjoys what comes to
him easily, through no effort of his
own, and there is no reason why
the State, without doing anything
contrary to private right, and with
out doing anything tending to
check thrift, should not. for the
benefit of all, reap some substan-
tial advantage from the tendency
of wealth to concentrate in the
hands of the few.

A DISCUSSION arose in the House
yesterday which brought up the
question of the title to the Crown
Lands. In 1890 the Legislature
passed an act for the relief of the
King. 1t provided for the issue of
$4,000 in bonds, the proceeds to
be applied to the payment of the
royal debts. The act required the
Crown Land Commissioners, with
the consent of His Majesty, to ex-
ecute an agreement to pay into the
Hawaiian Treasury the sum of
$4,000 yearly until the amount of
the bonds should have been paid.
The question would arise at once,
under such an agreement, whether
it would be of any force or effect
after the death of the late King,
