The attacks which the morning
journal makes upon Senator McCand.
less are altogether unjustifiable. 1t
was not Senator McCandless, but Sen
ator Brown, who asked for an inves-
tigation of the lighthouse at Diamond
Head. Senator Baldwin has strong
opinions upon the lighthouse, but the
NJ. j. has not word to say about
him. 1t is not good policy to attack
a Senator in the way Mr.. McCandless
has been attacked, for it may lead to
counter attacks of very strong ma.
ture, just where the paper would like
to set up a defense.

ON UNPAID BILLS.

Besides what was said in The &tar
yesterday another cause of the gov
eminent having a number of unpaid
bills is either the carelessness of the
tradesmen. or the carelessness of the
government agents i'm the outer dis
tricts If tradesmen and merchants
do not send in accounts which were
due in October. 1897. until March,
1898, they cannot complain about the
payment being delayed, yet these are
just the kind of people who say that
it is all very well about the govern
ment bills being paid; they know that
accounts going back for many months
have not been liquidated.
The carelessness upon the part of
government agents consists chiefly in
not returning bills which are sent
with articles from Honolulu and which
cannot be paid unless the arrival of
the goods is verified as to quality,
quantity and condition.
So far it is evident the government
is not to blame in the matter of the
unpaid bills. The money was in the
treasury to pay, the necessity that all
accounts against the government
should be sent in before December 81
had been advertised in all the papers,
ers interviewed, and what between red
tape and lack of business method the
sums remain in the treasury and are
turned over as a balance at the end
of the year, while the bills have all
TO be re-eXamined,N passed upon and
reappropriated, all of which is unnec-
essary and causes talk and friction.
But there is another class of unpaid
bills for which the government is.
directly responsible, and that is
where there are distinct overdrafts.
Where the appropriation has not prov
ed sufficient, and yet where it has
been impossible to stop expenditure.
Take for instance the item for the
maintenance and support of lepers."
That has been carefully estimated in
the past and liberal appropriation
was made by the last Legislature, but
in spite of all, the appropriation was
exhausted before the,5end of the pc
riod. What can the government do?
1t cannot, in a case of this kind, stop
all expenditures. If it were to do so
the people would starve and that of
course is out of the question. The
food supply must be kept up, and the
only thing to do is to run on credit,
and the only thing for the Legislature
to do is to appropriate the money to
pay the bills.
Take another item. repairs of the
school houses" The appropriation
runs out. \ storm comes along and
whips off a roof, or strips of shingles
or what not. Are the children to be
exposed to every shower of rain that
comes along, until the new approprla-
ton is available, months afterwards
This does not seem feasible, and so an
economy may have been practiced.
When government sends in long
list of unpaid bills and overdrafts the
tendency of the public is is to open
its eyes and wonder why. 1t requires
time to examine and explain. Even
had the government been eNtravaganI
there could be. nothing ia do but IN
pay and then censure. But in mos;
cases there is not even that charge to
be brought, though in some cases no
doubt there has been extravaganza.
But upon matters such as these, the
Senate and House will discuss some
what later in the session.
