KA LEO O KA LAHUI.

"E Mau ke Ea o ka Aina i ka Pono."

 

ON PUCULIARITIES.

 

            In the course of the remarks of the Chief Justice on the recent contempt case in which we figured, Hi Honor in delivering the Judgment of the Court – or of the majority – on our demurrer, states: that our own statue books contained a law on contempt which is “peculiar to this country.”  We do not quote His Honor’s words for the purpose of raising any doubt as to their correctness, but for the moral they contain, and the reflections they naturally inspire.

            If indeed we have a law which goes far beyond that of any law in the United States, in empowering our Judges to constitute themselves into an arbitrary tribunal resembling the star chamber of Charles the first, the matter is a subject for honest reflection, and we may ask: Is there any good cause why this law should not be made to harmonise with the laws of the United States.  We say of the United States for the obvious reason, that we regard that country as having advanced more than any other in liberal institutions, a fact recognized by the Anglo-Saxon race the world over.

            As to Judge Dole’s remarks, that we have been conducting our paper in a “very dangerous and careless manner,” we will just say in passing, that since starting the paper the impersonal “we” has occasionally had to be writer, editor, compositer, proof reader and machinist by turns.  If therefore we have often had voluntary literary help, we have manfully shouldered the responsibility of its many inevitable blunders.

            Of course no newspaper should be run except by a syndicate of capitalists who could seat their editor in a moroco covered easy chair, and with a fat salary to keep him independent of all clamor for justice on the part of the mob that was not in harmony with the interest of his employers.  We have not enough to have our lines laid in such pleasant placed; on the contrary, our mission is one of grumble and discontent.  We have declared war against sterotyped received opinions when found to be wrong, and have ever fought the battle of the undermost dog in opposition to the potentate who barks for the pup on top.  We do take the “wrong side” very often; the aide which is at first unpopular but eventually successful.

            We have more notes on “peculiarities” in the satchel.

 

The Public Finance.

 

            There is at present a severe stirngency in the money market here caused mainly by the lock-up of a good many hundreds of thousands of dollars in the Treasury.  This is the result of the no-policy of the late cabinet and the incompetent financiering of the Minister Finance.  For what purpose were the cabinet hoarding this wealth?  The floating capital in Honolulu is not extensive and when the government through its Postal Bank and the tax office amasses a large percentage of it, money is sure to be tight until the government put it into circulation again.  This is the case at present and money which should have been laying idle in the money bags of the Treasure, which all public improvements came to a stand still, and the administration appeared to ignore all the appropriation which the Legislature had made.  It is fortunate that a change of cabinet and policy is made at this juncture, for it is understood that the new cabinet will reverse the policy of the late cabinet and instead of hoarding the revenues will pay them out in the authorized channels and thus relieve the financial strain that was growing serious.  The Treasury, however, is not altogether to be blamed in this case; the panicky character of our financiers and capitalists has also aggravated the situation.  There is abundant wealth hoarded up in their banks and vaults, but the uncertainties of the McKinly bill has caused them all to crawl back into their gilded shells and refuse to load a dollar even on gilt edged securities.  The Honolulu capitalists is altogether too timid and faint hearted and acts rather as a back-step than a sinew in the progress of the country, and is always found wanting at a time when he could be a benefit, with a minimum risk.  We do not apprehend such dire disaster from the McKinly bill as is predicted Sugar is gold, and though the days of 50 to 300 per cent dividends may be pau, the plantations will still pa good interests; and if they don’t we always have before us the prospect of a reciprocity treaty with Canada or a more complete alliance with the United States.  Our industries are built upon a solid foundation and cannot be easily turned into a heap of ruins, anarchy caused by discontent or oppression of the laboring class.  You Finance Minister and you banker and capitalists, open up money bags and let the business and industries of the country go on and prosper.  You made your money here and it is just as safe to be re-invested here as in California, and it will be more to your credit to build up the country that has been your home.
