among certain members of the
House to regard the Band as an
appendage to the cvclorama, and
they are inclined to oppose the
item for fear it may be of some
use to the latter enterprise. We
have always been at a loss to
account for such petty jealousies
and spites. The Cyclorama Co.,
if it employs the services of the
Band, will probably pay for them
like anyone else. And those who
fear that they may unwittingly
benefit some of their fellow Great
ures may comfort themselves with
the reflection that the cyclorama
viii be of vastly greater advantage
to Hawaii than the Band can pos
sibly be to the cyclorama.
The attention of Legislators is

RECONSIDERATION.

There is one point in which per-
haps the rules of the House might
judiciously be amended. The
prevalent habit of moving a re-
consideration of vote, as soon as
taken, is certainly an abuse, which
ought to be put an end to. No
doubt the practice has its good
sides. 1t prevents further lobby
ing. But if the rule which per-
mits a reconsideration of any
action within twenty-four hours is
a good one, then the practice which
reduces that rule to dead letter
must be bad. Legislators are I'M
happily not all as long-headed as
the Seven Wise Men of Greece, and
they sometimes have occasion to
repent at leisure the sins of haste.
The repentance cannot bear the
fruit of good deeds when the usual
bogus motion to reconsider has
made a bona ide attempt in that
direction impossible Would it
not be advisable to remedy this
state of things by providing that
the motion to reconsider cannot be
made on the same day, or at least
at the same sitting, when the orr.
ginal action was taken

THE BAND AT CHICAGO.

There appears to be disposi-
ton in the Legislature to strike out
the item for sending the Band to
Chicago. Owing to the mastery
inactivity of one of the late Cabin
cts, the opportunity for making a
proper exhibit at the Exposition
was lost, and now few mistaken
individuals propose to jump from
" the frying-pan into the fire." and
give up all idea of any sort of re-
presentation at Chicago.
There is probably no way in
which Hawaii can advertise her
self, and get better results at less
cost than by sending away the
Band. TIE assertion has fire.
quently been made that an Ameri-
can tour of our Hawaiian must
clans would be profitable, not
because their skill is particularly
wonderful though it is by no
means to be despised-but because
they would be a novelty which
would excite the curiosity OF
thousands. The secret of all adj
vertising is simply to draw atten-
ton to the thing advertised. The
object is to make it widely, uni
versally known. What we in Ha-
wall want is to draw the eyes OF
the world to Hawaii as a place OF
resort. If people know the place
they will try it, and if they try it
they will like it. And hardly any
way can be devised of making it
known, which is cheaper or easier
than sending the band to a spot
which will be visited and re-
visited by millions.
Of the item inserted in the APP
preparation bill, but $4,000 is re-
CURED for the Band, the rest being
for the distribution of advertising
matter. Of this sum it is not
extravagant to expect that large
part will be returned in the way OF
earnings so that the ultimate cost
will probably be little, and may be
nothing, while the returns tc
this country are sure to exceed the
outlay, many times over.

A Registrar Appointed.

Nh. EDITOR 1t is gratifying and
pleasing to. hear of the appoint
ment of a Registrar-that of Geo.
E. Smithies, Esq.-by His Excel
lency P. C. Jones and his col
leagues.
The appointment deserves the
highest praise which could be be-
slowed upon our Ministers of State
as their first fruits of office, which
is heralded from lip to lip by public
opinion, satisfactory and praise
worthy. The young gentleman
selected for the position could not
have been better, as he is an honest,
Intelligent and trustworthy, whom
L have known from boyhood to
manhood. He assumes a very
responsible position of trust, which
hope his friends will assist him
in the beginning of fulfilling the
functions Of the said office. Prior
to his appointment as Registrar,
he was employed in the Interior
Department as clerk, which he has
filed faithfully and honestly for
the last ten years, and set himself
as an " emblem" for his race and
nation, and carries the aloha of his
friends.
Yours truly,

stroke of work yesterday, killing a
number of bills, and passing
others. At this rate there is some
hope of seeing the end of the ses-

confidently expecting to see the
Propagation of one House and the
opening of another combined into
one ceremony will be disappointed.
