understands what the taxpayers want
and is depended upon 20 stop grating.
Mr.. Isonhcrg. the new president Of the
senate, arouses Similar expectations.
II the Legislature should work as n
private concern. vested with like re-
sponsibilities would do, the session
could be over in thirty or forty days.
II is not necessary to use up the time
limit. BY working at the start as it
does toward the emu of the session, the
Legislature could give the public bust
CESS quick dispatch. That would be
refreshing experience for the tax
payers.
The most rerious business before the
Legislature is the County Government
Act. Under this head we invite special
attention to the warning of the Gov
ernor, not only as to the possibility
that the Legislature has no power to
enact such a law as the party platform
demanded. but as to the matters touch
ed upon in the following paragraph:
Our present financial burdens could
not be borne were our islands less pro.
ductive, yet if the expression of the
political parties fully represents the
sentiment of the voters, they at least
seem to be willing, by the adoption of
additional burdens to undertake still
greater obligations. So serious prob
lem should cause us to pause and con
slider.
In other words, COUNT THE COST.
The best wishers for Hawaii desire
that the wages of school teachers should
be restored to the old figures. To meet
the increased expense, money should be
saved from the National Guard APP
preparation, subsidies, etc, and from
the various other leaks which, in the
past, have done so much to drain the
treasury BY adopting the Advertiser IS
plan to let the printing contracts to the
lowest responsible bidder, consider
able sum could be passed to the credit
of the educational fund.
The Legislature starts with every
body's good will. 1t has its own honor
and the honor OF the Republican party
to preserve. Unfortunately it has put
a few scalawags in it's salaried posi-
lions, the result possibly of trading for
higher places. The only way to atone
for this error to the taxpayers will be
to watch such men and prevent their
grating AS Tor the rest, the way
seems open and easy to a successful
session.

WILL BANQUET ON
ST. PATR|CK'S DAY

A number of leading Irishmen of
Honolulu met at Waverley Hall last
night and decided to hold a banquet
in honor of the anniversary of st.
Patrick. Charles Mccarthy was in the
chair, and James Hughes was Secre-
tary. Because the Hibernlans have al
ready announced that they would have
literary exercises and a celebration on
the 18th, it was decided, so that there
should be no clashing and that all
Irishmen might participate, that the
banquet should be held on the night of
March 16. The following committees
We're appointed to have charge of the
affair:
! Committee on Banquet-C. K. Quinn,
]. Lucas and T. ]. Catalan.
Literary Committee. A. Hughes
VIM. c. Mccarthy. F. ]. Mclaughlin
Finance Committees. Crook, ]. l.
Nolan, ]. A. Morgan.
1t is the purpose of those having the
affair in charge to make the celebra-
ton one of the greatest that has ever
been held in Honolulu, and to that enc
the cooperation of all the sons OF
the Green Isle is heartily asked.
There will be a meeting next Mon
day evening, when the COMMITTEES will

The Governor does well to call the
attention of the Legislature to the need
of an act regulating and controlling
trust companies and building and loan
associations. The Advertiser expose
of Strauch and his shady methods, and
the presence here of agencies for fiscal
corporations which have no rating
ought to impel the Legislature to sur
round the public with ample safe
guards. 100 many restrictions of the
sort insisted upon by States like New
York, Massachusetts and Ohio cannot

There seems to be an increase Of
Japanese divorce cases in our courts
these days. 1t might be advisable for
the authorities to get a line on these
cases, for peradventure there may be
commercial transaction behind one OF
them now and again. The campaign
vigorously waged by the Federal off,
Gals for couple Of years past may
have suggested some new wrinkles to
the Oriental buyers and sellers of
wives married in Japan" These re-
marks have no reference to any par
tcular case now pending. but are
thrown out as word to the wise.

THE LEGISLATURE.

The Legislature which convenes to-
day has serious responsibilities to meet.
Work is cut out for it which will test
its industry and civic patriotism and
bring it face to face with the criticism
of Washington, as well as of Hawaii.
Much depends upon how things arc
started. If the best men in the Legis'
lature are put in charge of the com
mittees, and there is a strong, honest
speaker to PRESIDE over the House, the
session ought to answer the best ex-
expectations of the public and of Con
gress.
There are, of course, some grafters
in the Legislature and, as we have
pointed out before, they are in a po-
sition to do more mischief, if per
mitted to, than their kind has done
in Hawaii for long time past. 1t
should be kept clearly in view that
self government in Hawaii is not yet
established. What Congress has given,
Congress may take away; and at this
time, when many Congressman are con-
sldering whether it would not be bet
ter to put Hawaii into the colonial
class, the Legislature cannot afford to
let its grafters control it. Economy,
retrenchment and reform are watch
words which ought to be needed for
safety's sake.
There is danger in the possession of
nearly undivided control of botn
houses danger of factions and cabals
to take the place of definite party
lines; and at the same time fixed
responsibility for all that happens
which cannot be unloadcd on Demo-
Gratis and Home Rulers. Under these
circumstance the closer a'l the leaders
get to the Governor, the more likely
they will be to preserve harmony and
work with single purpose.

1t is well known that the printing
grafters are trying to get Mahelona
appointed chairman of the printing
committee with a view to working the
old game. There is but one way to
deal with the printing question, and
that is to let the legislative work out
to the lowest bidder. If Mahelona gets
the control of the matter the fat will
be in the fire and the smell will prob
ably reach the nostrils of the grand
jury.

The rumor that Kuropatlin is to be
recalled is followed by a report that
Sakharoff will succeed him. Kuropat-

100000 troops he supinely watches the
Japanese. KuropatlSin is a good mar

Bills of sales and warranty death
bonds to clinch them in a female slave
traffic, which have been produced in
recent prosecutions of Chinese for
peonage, would indicate that our older
acquaintance from the Orient possess
a finer technique in the nefarious COM
merce than the japanese. Can such
things be in Honolulu after nearly a
century of western enlightenment?
This is what many may ask. In all
probability they have existed ever
since the advent of the Chinese, but
are only now being dragged to the sur
| face-thanks to the long and the strong
arm of United States law.
