1t is unfortunate that the board
of enquiry, which sat upon Cap
tain Stott's case, had not insisted
that all the evidence in the case be
ferreted out and presented. The
court has made its return and it is
broadly limited upon the streets
that it is to be made the basis of a
suit for damages against the gov
ernment. For the credit of those
concerned we hope this is a mis-
take; we believe it is-it must be.
Still it is hard to fathom the find
ings of the court which are so
clearly in contradiction of the facts.
It may or it may not be an attempt
to whitewash a eountryman's blum
der, but it looks very like it.
Neither the government nor the port
of Honolulu, as represented by our
merchants, can afford to let this
matter drop on the bare findings of
a court of enquiry, no matter how
seemingly unprejudiced its mem
bers may be, until a thorough in
vestigation and examination of ALL
the facts in the case are made and
laid before the public. The Lon
don board of trade may be satisfied
with the findings, but the people of
Honolulu are not.
The Hawaiian gazette. [volume] (Honolulu [Oahu, Hawaii]) 1865-1918, 1893-10-24

of the councils has been privately
agitated, and on one or two occa-
sions has been spoken of in open
session. The bare fact that as soon
as anything is brought before a
special session it at once becomes
public property, either through the
newspapers or upon the streets, is
strong argument against the
continuance of special sessions.
It is a question if the executive
council should not handle all
special" matters solely. Of what
avail is it to turn such over
to the advisory council for con-
sideration, if they are to be at once
turned over to the public by indi-
vidual members of the council =?
The proceedings of special sessions
can reach the public in no way
unless divulged by members.
Members of the advisory council
may protest they do not tell ;
still the doings of every special
session are known on the streets
within half an hour after adjourn
ment every Thursday afternoon.
1t is safe to say that matters of
private import never yet have
reached the public through the
members of the executive council,
and this brings US back to the
point that those matters which
really require secrecy should be
determined in executive council,
and all others should be discussed
in open session.

The o. S. s. Boston.

The Boston came briskly into
port and went into Mission bay,
anchoring off Mission rock says the
San Francisco Chronicle of IOcto-
Der s. This part of the harbor is
so seldom frequented except by
large vessels that are in distress,
either leaking or dismantled, or
wish to lay idle at a safe anchor
age, that the peculiar behavior of
the Boston caused any amount of
comment. All kinds of rumors
were in circulation.
"Why did you anchor in this
out-of-the-way placer" asked a re-
porter of Captain Day, after the
Boston had been boarded from a
shore boat.
We'll" said the captain, settling
himself back in his big armchair
and smiling pleasantly, 81 was
here about five years ago in the
Mohican, and l consider this part
of the bay q safe anchorage 1t
makes no difference to me what is
said we are here.
THE Boston left Honolulu at
2 80 o'clock on the afternoon of
September 26th. When off Dimond
Head the cruiser was slowed down.
There was eighty-five tons of extra
coal on deck, and the high sea run
ming washed US fore and aft. The
weather seemed to make but little
difference to the big steamer, but
we were not in trim to push the
Boston"
The cruiser comes into port in
none too good condition. The paint
( is all off the bottom, and a growth
Of barnacles adheres in many
places. In the thirteen months
that the steel war vessel has been
in southern waters any amount of
fungi has taken root.
One Of the low pressure cylind-
ers is cracked, and this in itself
means whole lot of damage. Six
months may be taken up in put
ting new cylinder in place.
While at Honolulu the Boston
was extensively engaged in target
practice. The results attained
were excellent.

NOTES AND COMMENTS.

The royalist organ, which at
times has been obliged to pay its
men of at the end Of the week
with a paltry 50 each and still
claims it is libeled when called
bankrupt, now objects to the use
Of the term american" as used by
Americans. Our esteemed Cana
dian contemporary is very careful,
however, in enlarging its argu-
ment to declare that the revolu-
ton Of last January was "a re-
volt against constituted authority" :"
Il is Just as careful, forsooth, not
to say that the late revolution was
q revolt against violation of the
constitutional law of Hawaii by the
ex-queen and her hackers. Will
our needy contemporary never
learn that the nations independ-
'ence was not threatened when the
constituted authority" of royalty
was cverthrown, but when ex-
royalty attempted to overthrow the
constitutional authority" Of these
islands in last January?

" MAC'S" HA WAHAN LET
TIERS.
What a Distinguished Judge of
HiIo Writes.

One of the most distinguished
lawyers, a high judge and native
of the Hawaiian islands, born of
American parents, who resides at
Hilo, in the island of Hawaii,
writes to US from that place under
date of September 7th, as follows
Ny DEAR MAC ARTHUR-Pve
been much interested in reading
your letters from the islands in the
Budget you have SO kindly sent
me. [ must say that you have
been the most accurate in your
descriptions, generally, of any of
our tourist writers that have been
down here lately. You made a
mistake about the 100 foot high
tree ferns. The tallest will not 20
over thirty-fve feet to the fronds.
But that is all right as few know
the difference, and a thirty-fve
foot high tree fern looks to anyone
very much taller.
Politically we are about the same
as when you left. The government
are stronger today than their foes,
and there is no fear but that we
can hold our own against them.
The royalist crowd are feeling pref
ty sick at Spreckels' leaving them,
as they are very short of the sinews
of war. Now, my dear sir, l want
you to understand that there are
only small number of the natives
who care much what country rules
here. If you will give them plenty
of fish and poi, and not tax their
dogs, they will vote for you every
time. 1 find that most of the ka-
nakas are very apathetic as to
whether we are annexed or not.
The present government has not
gone back on them, and they are
1t is only the small half

not speaking against the whole of

ationists. l only want Uncle Sam

The public debt statement made
by the minister of finance Thurs
day, relating to the debts paid off
and the public works executed
since the 18th Of last January, is
something unprecedented in Ha-
waiian history. The Provisional
government has paid out, since it
came into power, nearly million
and q quarter of dollars, and in the
meantime, under perhaps the
heaviest strain the country ever
underwent or will ever undergo,
the net increase of the public debt
has been but $3,374.6O. Can the
adherents of royalty point to like
showing within a similar period?

President Dole formally resumed
control of the Provisional govern
ment Thursday. He returns to his
duties and his friends renewed in
health and strengthened in his
faith that the future of Hawaii
must be onward. When he ap-
peared in the councils Thursday he
was greeted with silent applause
which in the end will be heard
further than the booming of
cannon. President Dole is not
2 hero, but he is man
among his fellow men. He
is s republican who needs no
apology and has no political ak to
grind. When ne was chosen for
the position he has honored, it was
because his merits snatched him
from his fellows without leaving
the usual trail of envy or the taint
Of suspicion which follows ordi-
nary elevation. Even his enemies
admire him and his friends are
willing to stand by him and the
cause he represents to a man.

While on this point, we wish to
state that all departments Of the
Provisional government should be
open to the representatives of the
press. At the present time there
is but one bureau connected with
the government that refuses this
privilege to the press. We refer to
the board of education. 1t is hard
to see why the meetings of the board
of education should not be as fully
reported as those of the board of
health. Members of the board of
education have been spoken to on
this point and they see no reason
why the press should not be admit
ted to the meetings of that body.
In fact there seems to be no good
reason except the inheritance Of
exclusiveness which has been
handed down from the monarchy
in the matter of running certain
public bureaus. 1t is the hope of
both citizens and school teachers
that the committee lately appoint
ed by the councils will carry the
proposed reforms far enough to
correct this matter.
