ENTRANCE PERMITS.

An important notice appears III
this number relative to the issue Of
permits to Chinese. 1t contains
the regulations provided for by the
Act approved on the 18th of Janu-
airy, of the current year, and these
should be carefully read by all who
are interested in the subject. The
issue of these permits is sur
rounded with SO many safeguards,
that the possibility of fraud is al
most excluded. In the case of
permits to enter the kingdom
granted to merchants abroad hav-
ing business interests here, $500
bond is required, conditioned upon
the departure of the merchant or
traveller within the prescribed limit
of six months. The bondsmen
must be residents Of this king
dom. Another useful provision re-
quires that the statements upon the
strength of which.entrance permits
are issued to women and children
under ten years having relatives or
in this country, shall be
certified to by the Chinese CONNER
cial Agent.
Each applicant for permit must
provide four photographs of him
self, two in profile and two full face.
Chinese who have become natural
zed and Chinese born in this coun- |
'ry do not require permits, but a
certificate is substituted upon the
acts having been properly ascer-
aimed.

We believe it will be generally
admitted that the members Of
the Provisional Government have
exercised their powers with an adj
mirable moderation. These powers
have been exceedingly wide, al
most unlimited in their scope, and
afforded both the, opportunity and
the temptation to abuse. Had
they been less discreetly used the
result might have been disastrous,
certainly a general feeling of dis
satisfaction would have interven-
ed. That this has not been the
case must be set down in part to
the wisdom of those in authority,
but in part also to the patience
and good sense of the community,
which has recognized the necessity
OF reposing in the government a
larger measure of confidence, and
of delegating to it a wider auth
GRITTY than are ordinarily required.
Mistakes have been made, and
there has been plenty of criticism,
some of it well founded and some
of it not. But in general it may
be said that there has been
hearty cooperation between the
and its supporters,
which has made much for present
and which is good sign |
for the future.

AFTER THE FACTS.

The investigation which the Gov,
eminent has instituted in regard to
the Board of Health, will meet
with the sympathy of all who favor
an honest administration of affairs.
There are those who believe in
hushing up scandals of this kind.
We are not of their opinion. The
fullest and most searching inquiry
should be made, no matter whose
character suffers. The Board of
Health is believed not to be the
only Bureau of the Government
which has been defrauded by dis
honest contractors. If this is true,
it should be shown to be so by
proofs, while if it is false, the per-
sons implicated are equally en-
titled to have its falsity made
apparent. Inquiries of this kind are
not pleasant to make, and the task of

NEW YORK OBSERVER.

An article republished this
morning from the New York o.
server affords fresh evidence that
American interest in these islands
is great and steadily growing,
while there is an increasin ely
strong feeling that the policy of
the United States requires the
maintenance of American FREEDOM
nance here. The writer of the ar
ticle in question is evidently a
frank believer in annexation, and
his reference to the possibility of
events here forcing the issue at
once shows that he has not been
writing in the dark. The New
York Observer is not a sensational
journal and its views will not only
command attention and influence
many directly, but they are fur
ther important because they are
typical of a very large class.
1t is interesting to note that the
article above mentioned was pub
lished January 18th. The revo-
luton began just two days later.

The appointment of S. NJ. Da,
non as Vice President of the Elk
ecutive Council has met with gen
eral approval, as Mr.. Damon's
well-known conservatism and mo-
deration, coupled with his integri-
ty and business ability, command
confidence. The office of Vice
President is, like that of the mem
beers Of the Advisory Council, un-
salaried, and will remain honorary
except in case of the sickness or
other disability of the President.

1894 VS.. 1888.

The Supreme Court of Pennsyl
vania has sustained conviction
for the ofense of selling news
paper on Sunday. An extract
from the decision will be found in
another column. 1t was given
under a statute which dates from
the last decade of the eighteenth
century. The men who drafted
this statute would open their eyes
if they could step for a moment
into the press rooms of the New
York World, and see the row of
huge presses which turn out the
modern newspaper at the rate of
one or two hundred thousand
per hour. Steam and electri-
city have revolutionized the
world since 1894, and this mighty
bound forward in the physical
appliances of civilization has not
left unchanged the ideas and moral
judgments Of men. The question
of the desirability of Sunday news
papers, abstracly considered, may
well be regarded as an open one.
In practice, however, it was settled
long ago. The Sunday newspaper
is here, and has evidently come to
stay, and its existence cannot pos
sibly be endangered by the terms
of any law which is a hundred
years old. The newspaper will re-
main, and the law will go.
1t seems strange to think of
settling so modern a matter as
that of selling newspapers on Sun
day by reference to the terms of |
law passed hundred years ago, |
IN an age which knew not Sunday
papers, by men the fashion of |
whose minds, like the cut |
of whose garments, belonged |
to another world than ours. In
this age of lightning progress, laws
are outgrown before they can be
changed, and Legislators seem lag
CARDS. Science throws new light |
on old truths, and the new gener-
alton, instead of treading rever-
emily in the footsteps of the fathers,
feels that it has been sucked in
creed outworn." The Pennsyl-
vania Judge however did his duty
when he applied the law as he
found it, and it is for the legisla-
ture to wipe the anachronism from
the books.

Mr.. c. J. LYONS furnishes some
statistics of rainfall in this morn
ing's paper which will make those
uninitiated in the mysteries Of
tropical climates stare and gasp.
Noah himself, if he had rain
guage, could hardly have conscien-
tiously sworn to more than twelve
inches in five hours. The district
of Kau, Hawaii, where it notori-
ously never rains at all, is yet to be
heard from, but an old resident of
that quasi-Sahara claims to have
seen fifteen inches in two hours or
so wash everything which was not
spiked down out to sea.

In ANOTHER column will be
found an interesting interview
with Mr.. ]. S. Emerson, in which
full account is given of his re-
marks at the meeting of the So
ciety for the Suppression of Idol
airy. Very few people, indeed,
none at all outside of those who
have made a study of the
subject, have any idea of
the prevalence of heather prac-
tees, and of the strong root which
the old superstitions still have in
the minds of the people. These
ideas and practices are by no
means confined to non.Christians.
but they are more or less preva-
lent in the churches. We have
collected some very interesting
facts on this subject, all based
upon the testimony of native Ha-
waiians, which we will shortly lay
before our readers.

Mr.. ASHFORD is going to contri-
butte "Briefets,' as he denominates
his crisp little paragraphs, to the
columns of the Holomua The
Holomua is a rank royalist. It
dotes on monarchy and worships
kings and queens of every shade.
In every well regulated pack the
knave, of course, bows to the king
and Queen. Mr.. Ashford, on the
other hand, is a red Republican.
What is the meaning of his new
editorial allegiance? Does he in
tend to be the third knave in the
pack?

stances was never yet conducted in
its beginnings according to the form
ule which rule in ordinary cases.
Such a government must be COM
pact, capable of speedy and deci-
sive action, and secret. 1t must
not be tangled up in red tape,
and the touch of button must set
its machinery in motion. The
rules in short which govern the
exercise of military and naval
authority, and not those of ordi-
nary civil procedure, furnish the an
alogy which it should follow. Battle
ships and armies could never face
the enemy successfully if they
were run by newspapers, legisla-
lures and public opinion. A pro-
visional government, which has
just emerged from the stormy
waves of revolution, has the same
difficulties before it, and they must
be met by the same methods. 1t
cannot wait to consult the varying
tastes and fancies of the inhabit-
ants of remote and inaccessible
country districts, before it sets its
course. It cannot take the gossips
of the street corner into its conf
dence.

When, however, the emergencies
of the first days have passed away
when the reins of power have
been gathered into firm hand,
the wheels of government well
creased, the ordinary course of law
restored, and the routine of bust
ness resumed; when the passion of
the first conflict has subsidized, and
feeling has returned to its ordinary
modes of expression, a different
rule should prevail. The commu-
nifty should, as far as possible, be
taken into the confidence of the
Government, and the counsels of
the latter should in general be
made public.
We are happy to announce that
this is the view of the matter taken
by the gentlemen of the Provisional
Government. Yesterday afternoon
The Council voted that representa-
lives of the Press should be adj
mitted to its general sessions. This
vote might well have been passed |
or as soon as martial law
vas suspended, but among the
pressure of other matters nothing
vas done about it.
The Hawaiian gazette. [volume] (Honolulu [Oahu, Hawaii]) 1865-1918, 1893-02-14

the Government is not an enviable
one. None the less, it was right
that it should be undertaken, and
we believe it will be carried out
with thoroughness and fidelity.
The course of Mr.. Reynolds in
the entire transaction marks him
as a faithful and scrupulously con-
scientious official, as indeed his
many years of service had long
since proved him to be.
