' ready to be paid to him or to his
order, he having transferred the
claim to certain of hia creditors who
were quite willing to accept the ad
justed bill. For reasons (not neces
sary to be detailed, I declined to
accept the receipt of any one but
Mr. Oakley personally for satisfac
tion of the debt, or to pay tho
amount, except on Mr. Oakley's
own order ; for this reason alone the
matter remained unsettled.
Respectfully yours,

BY AUTHORITY.
To the iff retort of Election in the .:
era Ditrict of the Kingdom:
Inquiries huviug been made whether
pel sous who arc exempt from the pay
ment of personal tnxes by reason of be.
jng clergymen, teachers, pupils In High
Schools, llrcmcn, &c, or by reason of
bell);? over the age of Mxty years or
whoso taxes have been excused by the
Assessor on aeuounl of Infirmity or
povcily, nro allowed by law to vote at
tho Election for Representatives.
It Is my opinion that all such poison
nio entitled to wte. The Tax Collector
should issue to each such person a tax
receipt with the wouls "Qualified to
Vole" upon it, which he must sign and
in place of the amount of taxe Iks must
write " exempt" or "excused." On the
presentation of this Tax Receipt to the
Inspectors of Election nt their sessions
previous to the election, the name of the
voter must bo put on tho list of voters
and the Receipt lettunrd to the otcr.
At the general Election to be held on
the Unl February, 18t(, tho votes of biicli
persons must bo received, unless chal
lenged for other leasons.

FRIDAY, JAN. -2. 188G.
AT SIXES AND SEVENS.
Thu rank and lilc of the Govern
ment candidates arc exhibiting the
same absencu of discipline which
characterized the support given the
Government in the expiring House.
.They arc propagating all sorts of
political and economic doctrine
from the stump, unregulated and
unrestrained. " Anything to get
in!" would seem to have been the
motto prescribed to them by the
bosses, whose legend is, "Anything,
to keep us in olllce! " Kqual hctcro
gcncousness'is evidenced in the ex
pressions of Government candidates
upon specific topics of public policy.
Take the currency question, for in
stance. The gold standard law is
denounced by some who are blind
to the Ministry's responsibility for
its ineffectiveness. It is apologized
for by others who cannot deny that
it was promoted largely by the Min
isters. Another set prates about
tho superior advantages of Hawaiian
silver, as if the metal was mined
beneath Aliiolani Hale mid minted
in the Finance Department without
costing the country anything. While
it is impossible and even undesirable
that there should be unanimity of
opinion in all public matters among
the members of a party, yet upon
those questions by which the stew
ardship of the Ministry is being ex
amined, such looseness of chin on
the part of their candidates and
spokesmen indicates nothing less
than that thcGovernuient is without
any policy, or else that utter dis
traction reigns within the camp.
Without' a policy except one of ex
' pediency it is not strange that the
Ministry should give so much license
to the tongues of their dependents,
clacqucrs and prospective savers of
the ship. For any expression
emanating from headquarters, it is
impossible to judge whether the
Ministry, if sustained, would repeal
the Currency Act or adopt measures
for giving it effect. It is true,
there was a tacit threat uttered once,
" by authority," in the course of
negotiations had between the Gov
ernment and the Chamber of Com
merce, thnt the Gordian knot, per
mitted by tho iucapablo adminis
trators to be tied, should bo severed
by n subservient Legislature on the
lirst opportunity. Yet everybody
knows that if it suits the interests
now controlling tho Government to
retain tho gold standard, there will
be no action taken by the Ministers
themselves to disturb it. Still, if
1
gi!j Ji'L.
the candidates nro permitted now,
for the sake of catching tho votes of
the unsophisticated masses, to raise
an ignorant clamor against tho law,
their election on a platform com
prising repeal of the measure would
be taken ns not onh; justification
but authorization of a raid upon it
in the Legislature. Then, what
could save that or any other useful
statute from the rough hands of the
vandals, provided enough of them
nrc returned by the electors to hold
the balance of power?
REAL ESTATE.
The advertising columns of the
lhn.uriN announce a large number
of valunble properties for sale, sonic
ul public auction, others by private
contract or at public auction. Of those
in the market, tho cii-callcd Hootli
Kstate offers special inducements to
any persons desirous of establishing
themselves In the possession of good
paying propcities. The upset prices
of most of the lots place them within
the reach of persons of moderate
means, while the location is such
that there is every probability of
their increasing in value from year to
year. Not only is the Rooth Kstate
a valuable property, but its being
now thrown into the market affords
a good opportunity to persons of
means who arc desirous of raising a
practical barrier against the further
encroachments of Chinese upon the
white man's business in the city.
A number of applications for the
property have already been mnde
by Chinese, which shows that peo
ple's determination to push their
enterprising conquests still further
towards the south-east. The fi
nancial rcsorccs of the white man in
this city are amply sulllcicnt to
bold the most important site for
business, and unless he comes to
the front with something more of a
spirit of enterprise than has, in the
past few years, been manifested in
acquiring and holding these points
of advantage, it will be but a short
tunc until Fort street is captured by
the Chinese, and Honolulu will lie
hut a miniature 1'ekin. And the
white man who becomes the fortun
ate purchaser of the Itooth Estate
will have the double satisfaction of
having secured a lino property for
himself and conerrcd a lasting bene
fit upon his own race in this city.
EDITORIAL NOTES.
"Kalakaua dollars will he at a
premium over gold at no distant
date." It is hardly necessary to
say that this announcement is quoted
from the "Advertiser's" "Campaign
Notes." The infallibility of our
contemporary's veracity is the best
possible measure the public can
have of the probability of the golden
prediction being verified.
Conscious of the utter hopeless
ness of every attempt to defend
licensed opium, unlimited gin, a ten
million loan, legalized gambling,
and a depreciated currency, on
their merits, the administration
apologists now rely upon their
own inexhaustible vocabularies of
abusive language which they hurl
recklessly at the head of every man
in the kingdom who presumes to
have a mind of his own.
The Morning Lyre is now
tuned to a sepulchral key. The
native voter is invited to chime in
witli the notes of the Lyre, on
pain of losing "the graves and bones
of his fathers." IJy voting for
licensed opium and gin, he will
materially aid the "party of im
moral ideas" in supplying the
graves of his fathers with fresh
bones. And of course he will then
be expected to sing pu'ims of grati
tude to the same party, with
Morning Lyre accompaniment, for
holding watch and ward over the
remains.
COLD COIN VS. SILVER COIN.
KniToit Dumxtin: As I see by
the late papers the gold question
bus arisen as a means for political
position, i.e., candidates for the
coming election, and is being dis
cussed pro and con. 1 think some
people besides tlitiio huvo somo in
terest in the matter, and therefore
btate what I think in the said matter.
For the 30 years or more previous
to this beautiful Gold Law, every
coin say French dollars, Ilolivinii
(very bad) and Chile, South Amer
ican, etc., were taken and no word
said, or a growl raised, although
everyone knew their value was only
1 to 8 1 cents each. All at once, it
is discovered that the U. S. gold
coin was tho only correct standard,
after the Government had put a tax
of 10 percent on such silver and the
Chamber of Commerce had reduced
their value, etc.
iJi1
WR
My Idea is this. In old times,
when people stayed hero, and were
not very rich, it did not nuttier ; but
when a large number loft with what
tlicy had saved and left estate and
house property, mortgage, etc.,
they at home expected their agents
to remit them rents, interest, etc.,
from time to time, and as exchange
was only to be got through thebauk,
they suffered some loss. They
growl first. Then the Insurance
companies send nway all the collec
tions to the homo ofilccs. Then all
our Islands folks that go to the
Coast or East have to take gold or
pay in gold, thus making a big drain
on gold outside of Chinamen (20,000
or more) who send away all they
earn, even at $." a week as cooks,
servants, etc., is S 100,000 a week.
Now, (hough by the Custom House
returns wo export very largely over
imports, still it is a heavy drain on
any country for all of them to want
gold. .Still, if it were not for tho
people who have made money in the
country leaving it, and merely draw
ing the interest, we could hold our
own. Is it not somewhat strange
that so much objection is now made
to our silver coins, which arc ex
actly of the same weight and fine
ness ns the lT. .S. silver coins, when
for nil the ISO or 10 years before not
a word was said about the coins of
every kind, that used to pass. It
looks to mc very like jealousy, be
cause the Hon. Clans Spreckels had
something to do with it. Surely it
is better to have our own coinage,
than the kind we were taking, and
if the people now abroad living
on those here who pay interest,
want their money in gold, let them
pay for it.
If I ever had anything to do with
the powers that be (the Govern
ment), I should strongly advocate
the issue of what is now our funded
debt, in amount say $1,300,000, in
notes of the Government from 8100
down to So, thus stopping all in
terest on said debt, and making a
saving yearly to the people of that
amount. Of what more value arc the
bonds than the same notes would
be, and if this country is not good
for that amount it had better shut
up shops. 1 would advocate an
issue of at least two and a half
million, to take up debt, and bal
ance to be used on public works,
roads, etc. But I think I have
already trespassed on your space
more than I ought to, and will
close, only adding that "consistency
is a jewel," which all people who
run for the Legislature (and the
$500) should try and observe, mark
and learn. Kki.ua w Ki:x.
