a bill dealing with the contagious
diseases of animals will soon be con
sidered by the legislature. We sincerely
hope that all the mobiles and representa-
tives will assist in making ii as thorough
and complete as possible, so as to in
clude within its scope all diseases Of the
lower animals which are communica-
bic to other animals and especially to
human beings the list of which
diseases is already greater than most
persons imagine. A few years ago,
no one in Honolulu troubled himself
about this matter ; but lately, from
several places on this and the other
islands, reports have come that some
disease is carrying off the animals but
more especially the horses Up to the
present time, these accounts do not
state positively whether this mortality is
due to only one disease or to several
distinct diseases nor, in any case, has
there been given any description of the
symptoms observed during the illness
of any animal But from verbal de

the fact that in some OF the cases the
disease has been said to be "farcy,"
there are strong reasons for suspicion
that "glanders has made its appear
ance in our midst Some persons
assert that the disease referred to is not

later will show its real nature unless
measures to check it are early and
promptly adopted. Others, more posi-
tive, assert that glanders never was seen
in the Hawaiian Islands, and, therefore,
never could exist here, even if imported
AT any rate, there is no need for the
public to wait until one or two human
lives have been lost, before instituting
an inquiry into the causes of this NOR
tality.

Any cause that will decrease the nat
urally healthy state of the lower ami
mals-such as bad food, bad stabling,
excessive work, and especially a combi-
nation of these evils-will produce
symptoms resembling those of CLAN
ders. But horse or COW should not
at once be condemned as glandered
because its coat has lost its natural
healthy appearance, or its eyes look
pale or even have discharge from
them, or because its legs are swollen,
perhaps showing sores upon them, with
enlarged and hard glands under the
jaw, with hard cord.like lines running
from them easily felt under the skin.
But, although these symptoms are very
suspicious, especially if there is dis
charge OF matter Tor matter mixed with
blood from the nostrils, often accom-
panied with cough, and although we
should at once isolate the animal, We
cannot be quite sure of the nature of
the disease until We have tried the inof.

Saturday press. [volume] (Honolulu, H.I.) 1880-1885, 1884-05-24

In his striking sermon of last Sunday
night Mr.. Cruzan touched upon the
idea, first suggested by contributor to
the Daily Hawaiian, that the individual
consumer OF strong drink should be
obliged to take out license or permit
This idea was further elaborated by
one OF Mr.. Cruzan's listeners, substan-
tally as follows First Monght-Com-
pelling the vendor to pay license more
or less heavy has SO far proved inopera-
tive Us measure of reform-the heavier
the license paid the greater the tempta-
ton to increase sales by questionable
practices and to increase profits by del
eteriouS adulteration. In this it may
Ne well TO take a new departure and
make the consumer also pay for n
license. The injustice of compelling
a retailer to pay license Of Sis a
year while wholesaler pays only $3.50
and sells vastly larger quantities, with
vastly wider consequences and respon-
sibilities-must be manifest to every
reasoner. Why not impose the same
license tax upon all vendors of liquor
as is now paid by the wholesaler Sc
end MonghHRecognizing the right OF
traffic in liquors, the vested rights of all
who engage in this traffic must be fully
protected. Until majority OF legal
voters shall declare against the traffic,
it is entitled to full protection under
the law enjoyed by any other traffic
subject to such restrictions as com
munity self preservation shall agree
upon. Third hioXght-As statistics
have proven over and over again that
a large proportion Of all the crime,
disease and suffering in the world is
tsaceable to the use OF intoxicants, and
as this crime, disease and suffering help
to make public prisons, hospitals and
asylums necessary, is 1t not simple
justice to make the consumers OF liquor
pay the burden OF the enforced taxation
which goes to supper, these prisons,
hospitals and asylums ? The idea OF
licensing the consumer may be worked
out as follows A person desiring TO
use intoxicating liquors, incidentally OF
as beverage, shall present himself TO
a licensing bureau, from which licenses,
fully descriptive of applicants, shall issue
TO adults only, and for which a fee OF
$40 shall be eNaoted, the license to be
good for one year, unless revoked for any
OF the following reasons: legal conviction
forin,oxica,ion; petition OF relatives in the
order recognized by the statute govern
ing descent OF property, provided the
petition be for cause as recognized by
any judge OF the supreme or circuit
courts legal conviction OF transfer OF
license with intent to evade the law ;
legal conviction OF furnishing liquor
lor gain without vendors license
Pr Cosra The legal conviction OF
intoAicalion or Of furnishing adultera,ed
liquors shall work TO revoke the license
of vendor. wholesale or retail. Reyo-
cation OF licenses 10 either vendor on
consumer shall prevent the granting OF
new licenses as follows first oiiense,
for one month second onense, for
three months third o1ense, Tor SiA
months fourth and all following Of.
lenses, for one year. /osrfh thought .
The burden OF proof shall lac upon the
vendor before furnishing liquor to any
person, the vendor shall satisfy himself.

who will deny that license here in Tia
wili has meant free rum With a ven
gcln,c. More than that. The last two
years have snwcd the wind, and the
careful observer sees enough to con
vince him that Hawaii will reap the
whhlwnd OF murder and bloody NJ
trays and assaults against person oT
property in the not tar future If a very
radical change is not made in oul
present law. Men all over the islands
are freely using liquor today who
hardly touched It in other years. Is
pcclally IS this true among the native
llawaiianS. The full effects of this
general use OF intoNIcants does not ap.
pear in the statistics OF the period Just
closed The effects of free rum during
the past two years have only partially
been wrought out as yet, and we may
look with reason for an increase OF
crime on this account during the
coming two years Notwithstanding the
possible enactment OF prohibitory
law. How much more has the nation
to fear from an increase OF crime il the
present law remains in force No cgiS-
laturc ever met in this kingdom that
faced greater responsibilities in the
matter of liquor legislation than the one
now sitting What boon would it be
to the native Hawaiian we're foreign
liquors forbidden entrance into any OF
our ports What a God-send to the ig-
uorant immigrants were the laws of this
land such that they could not find
liquor from the time they touched our
shores What profit would our bust
ness firms gain were the money now
spent for liquor by the people all over
the group, spent instead for clothing
and food and building material So
long as liquor is imported it will reach
every hamlet. Given liquor and an
appetite and one will find the other.
Close our ports to liquor importations,

a reward for the conviction of every per.
