Gated are rampant here, II fire
were to break out and get good
hold in the district bounded 10y
Nuuanu stream ON one side,
Nuuanu street, Berctania street. and
the Fish Market on the other sides,
how many hundreds of thousands of
dollars would disappear from the
wealth of the country? If an cpl
dcmic disease were TO break out in
that districts, what possible chance
would there be of quarantining it
and conlining it, before it destroyed
its hundreds, perhaps its thousands
of victims? Any member of the
police force will tell us that the
same district contains the haunt of
n majority of the vicious and crimi-
nal population of Honolulu. Moth.
ing has as yet been done to restrain
or remove these evils in Honolulu,
but we think the Board of Health and
the Fire Department have power to
lessen, somewhat, these evils. The
clearance made by the recent fire on
Nuuanu street gave an opportunity
to refuse permission for the recon
struction of that spot into its old
state, but, judging from the cvi.
dences of rebuilding going on, those
bodies did not think any action was
necessary. Perhaps when the evil:
mentioned cannot be restrained, ol
the dangers compensated for, they
will, as the old proverb says, en-
deavor " to lock the door when The
steed is stolen.'

0vER.CR0WDlNG BUILDINGS.

0VER-CR0WDlNC BUILDINGS.
These islands arc gradually losing
their primitive aspect and customs,
through the improvements steadily
effected by the increase of commerce
and the consequent ccntring and
aggregation of the inhabitants in
various localities. One result of this
has been the steady increase, in size
and population, of Honolulu. Gra-
dually the needs of the business COM
munity have forced one improvement
after another upon the attention of
the Legislature, but much remains
to be done before Honolulu, rs q
city, will compare favorably with
cities in other lands. One of the
most recent efforts at legislation pre-
vents the erection of any but fire.
proof buildings, within certain limits
in the town, and, although this was
step in the right direction, it needs
to be supplemented by another law
preventing the ovcr-crowding of
buildings together in any part of the
city. Most of the buildings in the
over-crowdcd parts of Honolulu are
fiimsy wooden structures, opening
on narrow and tortuous alley ways,
and packed very closely together.
Recently, suit was entered by one
party to obtain a right of way to
and from his dwelling, which from
the increase of buildings round his
house had been entirely cut off from
him. Apart from the danger to life
and property, in such ncighborhoods,
in the event of a serious fire break
ing out, rs was instanced during the
recent fire on Nuuanu street, other
dangers, equally as serious to the
community, exist. The filth and dirt
which have accumulated in such
parts of the city form hotbed for
the engendering and spreading of
epidemic diseases, and should such
a disease break out in one of those
localities it would make sad havoc
amongst its teeming population.
Again, it is settled fact, not only
in Honolulu but in all cities, that
such quarters are chosen rs the
homes of the immoral, indecent and
criminal members of the population,
where they herd together to lead
their vicious lives, or plan their cri-
minal deeds, to the dctriment of the
more respectable members of the
community. Every large city in the
world has found out the evils OF
over-crowding buildings, in certain
quarters of their precincts. We may
instance London, New York and
Sydney, rs giving recent examples
of the results of Investigations into
this evil. And many Legislative
bodies, in consequence, either have
passed, or are about to pass, laws
which will restrain and mitigate these
dangers to the wealth, health ant
moral spirit of Il community. Nc

Factories for putting up fruits and
pickles, besides enlarging the domes-
tic labor market and increasing our
exports, would greatly conduce to
the pleasures of Hawaiian life by
cheapening table luxuries. An essen
tial to experiments in that direction
is to have them conducted by capa-
bic and experienced men from similar
establishments abroad. With all
our organizations there is room here
for an Association for the promotion
of home industry, and we would
suggest that a public meeting should
he held at an early day to consider
the matter. Perhaps the Chamber
of Commerce will take it under its
auspices.

AN IMPOTENT CRITIC.

The outside writer of one of the
Honolulu letters that grace the
columns of the SATURDAY Press
complies in to-day's issue of that
journal column of what he deems
to be errors of grammar and faults
of composition in the DAILY BULLE-
TIN for ten days. The editor seizes
upon the opportunity, afforded by
this exhibition of literary criticism
on the part of his yoke-fellow, to
inform the public, in effect, that
while it and we regarded the literary
skirmishing between the two papers
for the past few days rs only a
sham fight, he was in wrathful
earnest all the time and meant moth
ing but real, cruel war. Both the
editor and the doughty critic who
gives him such able assistance in
filing his space venture all upon
the assumption that the editor of
this paper set himself up as one
born to put right the disiointed
world of newspaper literature. Moth
ing of the kind was deducible from
our part in the skirmish, our only
offences, until our contemporary in
vited retort, having been to repro
duce most comical typographical
blundcr in one of his paragraphs and
to place end to end an egotistica
boast made by the editor of the
Press regarding his literary ability
and very suitable rebuke to such
boast which appeared in the same
issue of that paper, from the pen of
the correspondent who has now had
hard weeks labor in trying to
hunt up literary faults in ten days
fill of the BULLETIN. AS to the
result of the critics efforts, how
ever, we are safe in saying that, if
he has selected the worst of what
can be justifiably called breaches of
literary canons which have occurred
in our columns during the past ten
days, the BULLETIN has come nearer
to literary perfection for that period
than any English daily paper in the
world. Notwithstanding the great
advantage weekly paper has over
daily for procuring accuracy, owing
to the necessarily hurried prcpara-
ton of the matter for the latter, we
could, if there was any amusement
in it for our readers, fill rs much
space with our contemporaries lite
rary shortcomings of day, dis
covered upon casual reading, as our
critic has required to display what
he, in many cases ignorantly, regards
as our mistakes of ten days, which
have cost him severe toll to find.
1t would take more space .than we
can afford to defend the specimens
he gives from our columns, but,
with the exception of two or three
very slight slips, we arc willing to
submit all of them to the best lite
rary jury that can be got in Homo
lulu and justify them. Any compe-
tent person who takes the trouble to
procure the criticism and analyze it
will perceive that it is mainly founded
upon its authors ignorance of the
scope of the words and phrases he
carps at and of the best current lite
rary usage, and also upon his dis
honest detachment of sentences from
their connection. The editor calls
