A remark in Monday's bulletin shows the editor has taken the wild misstatements of the Opposition papers for gospel instead of seeking to make himself acquainted, with facts by a study of official statistics, which cannot be gainsayed. He says: "The outcry against borrowing has, however, been due to the fact that the necessity for borrowing has, to a large extent, been created by the present Government, In having quandered the ample revenues It I HV J., TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 11, 1884 .came, heirJt to, in unproductive, and junimprpving services." . There is not , a particle of foundation for this cbarge .against, tue present . uovern ment.- inej (.previous ; uoyernment u camo down to the Assembly of 18S2 with, i estimates ofexpenditure,a million, in jexcess , ol estimatea,. revenue.; The King's speech pn opening tbq session gave, au-i iutima'toq : that a series 1 4. ' I . . ' luau uui 10 speuiiiu ? xjurposes, one 4forj;imtti2rationlau4 others for 'each great public, improvement, as' it may be a"pproyed!,J,!vpuldj bq pre3,onted;to the Assembly. , A bill fr ,the immi gration loan of 5o00jUU0 was brought in cauv iu .mc owaiwu, iu. umera were to follow.. ... That is the origin of the Loan Act of 1882. The ''necessity forprrQwing occurred here precise 1 - i- 1 ,1 I Al Ji iy4 ita ii uas, uuue iu wtuer countries, from the ; desirability of s. encouraging, immigration and of . undertaking ex- pensive public works. , , , We should vlike those who accuse the, present Government of f. squan- dering; the ample revenues it came heir; to in unproductive andunim - proying services" to descend from the realms of declamation and ; im agination, and condescend to give us some details explanatory of their loud-sounding sentences. It has been a favorite cry with the Opposition that the coronation v was . a waste of money, and that certain expenses in curred for foreign missions might have been saved. . Wo know of no other items as to which any charge of extravagance- has been even argued. What does the whole thine; amount to ? About the hundredth part of the expenditure of ; the biennial period. The mean and spiteful souls who grudge, the King his coronation and hie representation at foreign Courts by a gallant young Hawaiian are most of them extravagant enough themselves .in their personal expendi ture, and those that are not would grudge anybody anything out of which they did not make a personal profit. But if it had all been a " waste and an extravagance" (which we do not for a moment admit), what is there in the sum total of the whole of it to embarrass the country, or be talked about as a squandering of ample revenues? Such talk is the broadest of farce. Four times as much money was absolutely" irre trievably wasted in the building of the Palace under the management of the previous Ministries wasted through ignorance and incompetence, and without that sanction of the Legislature, which was given to the so-called extravagances of the present Ministry. The friends of the Opposi tion were in power then, and no one had a word to say. ' THE KAMEHAMEHA SCHOOLS. The departed Chiefess, Mrs. Pauahi Bishop, has left tbe vast properties which she inherited from her parents and from Her Highness the late Governess Ruth Keelikolani as an endowment for two boarding schools to be called the Kamehameha Schools, one for boys and the other for girls. Life interests in various lands have been willed to Hon. Mr. Bishop, Princess Uluikolani, Prin cess Kaiulani and some others, but tlie great estate in its entirety will eventually revert almost intact to the Trustees to whom the foundation of the schools has been entrusted, and will remain forever as an endowment for these schools and for the benefit of orphan and indigent children, and as a monument more enduring than any bronze of the aloha for her race of the lamented testatrix and of the self-abnegation -of her husband whose guiding hand is conspicuously shown in this generous testament. So many strange statements as to the contents bf this will have been floating about: the town - during--the last few days that we havw thought it well to present in thls issue an ib stract of fits .provisions. It has not been usual, .up .to the present time 1 in this country, ta give publicity to the wills and bequests bf i private iiidivid- i uais,: out. we aoinDt-: tunikytliatny, apology is. necessaryj' for breaking. of. away from the custom in tbe present ' I 0 1 - r 1 ' ,1 cust;. . oucu ipuoiicity ,.is iiauitUHiiy. given r to the! wiljs:6f people of - any. distinction in other countries with. the full approyal of. those most inter- - . Lested, and iwei apprehend that! what. is good fori the rest of the world will nut utj uu ecieu louere.!. in mo Drpa ent .case ; there 1 is - a snecial reason more cogent t than that of universal - J custom. Mrs- Bishop's bequests I XI J. ,s j. me must . ; important a occur- rence ,; for, the country; . that ;bas .happened , , tor some.tiine.i ' They are good. and timely, swise aud well considered, and should, be widely Known ana . : properly appreciated, They involve not merely tho founda- J tion and maintenance of , two valuable schools, but they also provide for the orphan and the miserable of Hawaiian blood for all time to come. They are accompanied by words of . wisdom in tended as counsel for the Trustees, to whom this great national work is entrusted., "It is .my. desire," says the testatrix in the last codicil of the will made less than a 'month aero, luawujiiuomu.uynjwuujiu work in regard to said schools as far as they go ; "r and she authorizes them to defer action in regard to the girls' school until that for boys "be thor oughly' equipped and in full work, and, if necessary, until the various life interests iu the estates shall fall in. -: Praise of this patriotic bequest would be mere impertinence. To those who have the means' we sav "go and do likewise." TREE PLANTING IN HONGKONG. They prosecute the work of cloth ing their rocky hills with trees in an earnest manner in Hongkeng. This planting has been going on for some time, and it is stated that it has ef- fected almost as much change in the climate as in the appearance of the country. We give below an extract from tho last annual report of the of- ficial who Is in charge of the work, showing what had been done by .his department during one year. This planting work is in addition to that always going on in the nurseries, from which not only most of the 311, 963 trees planted out were taken, but the public are freely supplied with young pines, and twenty-five War dian cases were filled for the Mauri tius Government. A large ravine near the city has also been stocked with ferns from these nurseries, be sides a number of roadsiGe rockeries. From the lengthy report out of which we have made our extract we acquire the conviction that the work of af- forestation in Hongkong is being done in a very thorough and systematic manner, and has also been very sue- ncef,il Thp fnllnwino- is Hip ovfrnof referred to: "The following table gives the kinds and numbers of trees planted and seeds sown during the year: TREES PLANTED.

The. selection of sites for plantations is very , mucb, dependent on the nlaces , which, can bo.. secured for uursesies; tbese are very, few. and often at great distances apart, and tbe. plantations musthe near:thtt nur- series in order to minimize the carry- I ing distauces, both for economy and to insure the trees being as short a time as possible out of tbe ground. , "Sowing in situ is done at less than one-third of the cost of . planting, therefore even if there are fifty per cent of failures in this system. there u sMil. a onnaMnrnhio rmin avaf ninnf. in ln sUu sowinr onlv . succeeds perfectly where , the soil -la ; good, where there is rather a - luxuriant growth of grass, to shelter . tho tender plants, and where the aspect is not to mucli exposed to the sun.. The in situ work which has been, dono may be regarded on the . whole as a decided success." . As to the other work which, the department carries on '"besides tho rearing and planting of trees, the lollowing paragraph from the same report may give some idea; "In the streets and roads there are upwards of 3,600 trees under th&jnan agement of this department, besides the various rockeries and ferneries. The trees are standing generally at about 30 feet apart and consist chiefly of "banians" (Ficus retusa. ) These trees, if at an uniform distance of 30 feet apart, would represent anavenuo bf 10 miles in length. The. whole f these have to be pruned about twice a year to keep them within bounds from interfering with adf ings and to permit unimpeded traffic underneath them. The Friend for Noyember ia a chatty number, and deals with a great rariety of subjects. The increased leisure enjoyed by the Reverend Editor since his retirement from regular ministerial duty will doubtless redound to the advantage of . this time honored periodical, the editing of -which is evidently with him "a labor of love." Under the title, " The last ol the Kameha- mehas," the number opens with a reference to the death of the late Mrs. C. R. Bishop, an account of her funeral, and of her gene- ealogy, showing her descent on the mother's Be directly from the first Kamehameha. AmonS articles of interest may be noticed ne emiuea vvno is x. jjwigui iiunt t " a question which is answered, to tho effect that he was a missionary in Kau, Hawaii, in 1845, and subsequently a teacher at Lahainaluna, and the translator kito Ha waiian of some useful text-books. When population began to pour into San Francisco he was sent for to be pastor of a Congrega tional Church there. The question thus answered had been caused by a publication containing lectures en "The Past antf Present of the Sandwiclv Islands'," which he delivered in San Francisco in 1853.
