MINISTER DAMON has shown
himself thoroughly capable of MAX
ing both ends of the Government
finances meet under any and all
circumstances, but from the bills
now being brought before the Leg
islature it would appear that he
has no intention of allowing the
possibility of temporary financial
embarrassment. The measures
being pressed by the Minister of
Finance are in the line of sound
financial policy that will give
assurance of the Government meet
ing its obligations under all cir
cumstances.

opinions. We have believed and
we do believe today that the mem.
bers of the Legislature are above
intimidation, and though forty
black lists might be published, We
know of no Senator or Representa-
tive whose opinions would be
swerved thereby. Some of the
Senators made a very black inter-
probation of the words in question.
The color will doubtless change
after the first heat of argument has
passed.
What interests US more directly
at this time is the insinuation by
Senator Brown and the direct
statement by Senator McCandless
that the policy of this paper is
dictated by an official of the Gov
eminent. They refer to Collector
General Castle. What ground
these men think they have for
making such statements we do not
know, but we do. know that the
insinuation and the statement that
the policy of this paper is "dic-
tated" by any one man other than
the responsible editor whose name
appears at the head of this column,
are absolutely without foundation

As HAS been remarked by this
paper on a previous occasion, the
granting of a pension to Kaiulani
is simply question of policy. 1t
will look rather nice on paper to
see that the Hawaiian Republic
has pensioned a to-have-been queen,
and, if the Finance Department can
readily furnish the funds, there is
no particular objection to the pen
sion. Kaiulani is unfortunate in
her advisers, else she would have
long ago taken the oath and been
granted the pension that is now
asked.

LICENSE WILL NOT WIN.

Probably the most interesting
piece of news that will go to
the Coast by the late mails is
the fact that there has been intro
duced in the Legislature of the
Republic bill to provide for the
licensing of opium. 1t is needless
to say that the news will be some
what of a surprise to those who
have taken more than a passing
interest in the last three years of
Hawaiian history. After having
been led to look upon the opium
bill as one of the principal causes
leading to the overthrow of 1898,
they may well be surprised to find an
attempt being made to incorporate
a similar bill in the political plat
form of the party now in power.
We realize fully that no sane
American politician will ever put
the present "opium effort" down
as a move advocated by able
politicians. Consequently the
conclusion they will doubtless
come to is that, after all, Cleve-
land was right and the opium bill
of 1892 was only used as handle
to gain power. We also realize
that the Democratic party of the
United States will be highly pleased
to be able to 60 into the coming
presidential campaign and harp on
the opium bill of the new Republic
with all the detrimental variations
of which the campaign orator alone
is capable.
1t is hardly time, however, for
the campaign orator to lay his
plans on this score or for the con-
sentative friends of the Republic to
come to the conclusion that they
have miscalculated the character
of the parties in whom they have
previously placed confidence. The
opium bill has not passed, and
there is every indication that it
will be sent to its death in the
Senate, where it originated. "A
private canvas of the Senate fails |
to show that there are enough |
members of that body who are pre-
pared to stultify the early record
of the Republic by voting for
so thoroughly odious to
the majority of the people of
this country. There always has
been and probably always will
be clique favoring the
licensing of opium. Provisional
Government, Republic, or any 9TH
er form OF government could not
keep them from attempting to gain
favorable legislation. The moral
sense and the political sense of the
majority of the men who stand by
he Republic and good government,
however, revolts at the sight of
his old bugbear again looming to
he front.
But, however disagreeable the
opic may be, the people have con-
idence in the majority of their
representatives who were elected to
he Legislature, not to give the 4
country a twenty years setback

FILTERS.

The report of the execu-
tive officer of the Board of
Health relative to the
condition of the Nuuanu
reservoirs is suggestive of
something dangerous to
health. It also suggests fill
tiers, good filters, something
that will effectually separate
the water from mud and filth.
Nature has done much
toward providing the people
with necessarieS; it has also
done a little toward securing

some localities a filter is a
luxury, in others, Honolulu

but the natural filters that are
