Euepiij Bulletin, DANIEL LOGAN. Editor. THURSDAY, FEB. 25, 1897. THE FINANCES. Although in conformity to our system of biennial sessions of tho Legislature tho departmental re ports o this country presented to tho people's representatives are of that piiod, yet the bureaus report to the departments nud tho depart ments to the President of tho single year. Soiuo of the reports aro filed away in manuscript, but accessible to representatives of tho press, but the more important ones aro printed. Lately tho BuMiKi'iN gave a comprehensive summary of tho Attornoy Gon- ornl's report for 189G from tho manuscript. Now tho Miuistor of Finance has issued his report for last year in printed form. This is well, for it is tho most interest ing, as well as important, of public documents. Some few ex cerpts tlierefiom are hero given, but the whole pamphlet is a mine of. matter for a year's discussion. Minister Damon is euabled to iutroduoe his facts and figures in tho following cheering terms: "The patt year has been ono of exceptional and increased rovonuo; and tho expenditures from tho appropriations havo been kept within duo proportion for tho period lapsed." Thoro was cash on hand tho last day of 1895, according to the current' account balance sheet for 1890, jot S22.490.30. On tho last day of 1890 it was $93,027.20. Receipts weie: Customs, S0C0, 895.82; Postal, $.77,488.94; Internal Expenditures wero: Gener al expenses, $1,051,031.33; Interest on all loanB, $230,459,59; matured Bouds paid, $16,100; total, $1,904, 190 92. Tho Minister says that the current expenditures cover evory claim that has been pre aeuted to the Treasury during the past year; and in addition thereto thero has been charged to current revenue tho sum of $29,G39.14 for interest due the Postal Savings Bank in 1894, which was credited in erior to current receipts in the yoar 1895. He btates that tho principal sources of revenue for tho oup poit of the Government where in n u increase has been recorded are tho Customs Bureau, tho Honolulu Water "Works, the Postal Bureau, Taxos and Land. Tho customs revenue shows an inoroaso of $109,740.78 over the previous year. Alter giving an exhibit in detail of tho imports and oxports of tho couutry, a trade of $22,079,791.53 . tho largest in, tho history of tho country tho Minister .of Finauco begins a discussion of trade rela tions with tho United States in theso words: "From tho foregoing facts and fijjuros it will bo ob served that nlmost our entire commercial business is carried on with tho United States. When wo consider, too, tho largo Asiatio population now in tho country and that our total export and impoit' trudo with China and Japan only amounts to $579,553. 77, wo can furnish no stronger arguinonts of tho desiro of our people to maintain almost exclu sive trade rotations with the United States." It is n peculiar coincidence that tho legislative buildings of Penn sylvania and Canada should have beon attacked by fire within a few days of each other. The Stato capitol at Uarrisburg was totally destroyed, while tho Dominion structure was damaged a quarter of n million dollars. Both wero extremely beautiful wot Its of architeetuto. Although the Penn sylvania Stato House was more than sixty years old, it vns deter mined, at latest accounts, to have it replaced with a building of tho samo style, so admired was it. Soium interruption of the public business of Canada will bo caused by its fire, because pnrliumout was summoned to assemble in a few weeks. That tho replacing of the ruined parts will bring ordinaiy public improvements to a stand still is absurd, if the pecuniary consideration is what is meant in a local comment made on tho mishap. The probable destruc tion of some plans and estimates, etc., in tho public works depart ment may, however, cause some delay in different undertakings. Federation of tho Australian colonies is advancing toward prac tical results. At a meeting of Premiers in January it wus agreed to hold elections for a federal con vention the first week in March. Western Australia, however, could not get ready in time. Another meeting wns called for Hobart on Februaiy 2, but Promior Reid of Now South Wnles dolayod busi ness by staying away. Ho is de nounced by the Australian Star of Sydney for Ihb attitudo toward tho movement. Thero is reason to be lieve that, notwithstanding the contemptuous posing of such poli ticians, the scheme of launchiug a groat Anglo-Saxon commonwealth uuder tho Southern Cross will be fore many yeais bo consummated. United, the young lions of tho Pacific need fear no nggression from tho Orient or elsewhere. Replying to arguments against an item of $190,000 for special mail facilities from Boston to Now Orleans, in the Postofiice ap propriation bill beforo the House, Congressman Pearson, Republic an, of North Carolina called at tention to the fact that the bill appropriated $80,000 for expedit ing tho mails to tho islauds of the Pacific. Wero not tho Demo crats and Republicans of tho South and oven tho Populists, he asked, entitled to ns much con sideration as tho rosidents of the South Sea islands ? When the matter was put to a voto, a motion to strike out the item for the Boston and New Orleans service was lost 10 to 107. This is well, because if that item wero struck out the Southerners might have jumped on the Oceanic mail item with both feet. When a note on Japan's reput ed cable intentions was written tho other day for these, columns, tho following from tho San Fran cisco Ohroniclo had not been sceu: Japan is now making estimates on the root of a ruble via Honolu In to San Francisco. It would bo something of a joke on American enterprise if tho little brown men should start tho work while Con gross is wasting timo in futile de bate, but suoh an outcome io by no inenuH unlikely.' With a gieat war iudomuity in hand, tho diver sion of a part of it to bucIi use would bo quite in lino with tho progressive commercial spirit of Jnpan, to say nothing of the ro puted plans of her Government concerning Hawaii.
