THE ISSIE-THE OIrIOOk

At this writing six days since our
last publication--the attitude of the
community towards the proposed Ha-
waiian National Bank is practically
unchanged II there be any change it
is that an intenser feeling exists against
the granting of exclusive privileges to
any corporation which may become an
injurious monopoly 1t is unde-
niable that feeling has run high, that
unkind, unwise and untrue statements
have been carelessly or recklessly made
ON both sides The measure was too
important one to be read, digested
and decided upon at a sitting. Yet that
was what had to be done in the first
editorial discussion of last Friday and
SATURDAY. That so little idle rant was
INDUCED in is an astonishing fact 1t
proves thatthe evil Of ofcontingnent mono
poly has not been underestimate. We
fully agree with those who insist that
discussion of this great subject shall be
carried on in calm and dispassonate
manner that principles shall be con
sidered and men only when they be
come opponents of those principles.
But we agree quite as fully with those
who denounce men when they seem to
represent measures which are dangerous
to the public welfare and, if every aD-
pearance points to the connection oI
men with such measures, that those
men ought to be challenged to show
their reasons for taking the action they
have taken.

Messrs. Promoters Of the New Bank
ing Scheme, a word with you. Is ii to
go on record that you father the re-
publication OF last Thursday Shall j,
become part Of current history that you
announce your determination to coerce
whom you cannot persuade, bully
whom you cannot coerce and bribc
whom you cannot bullyp Your action
Of Thursday implies that you purpose
to stop at nothing to accomplish your
ends. In some of you the community
has not yet lost all confidence. 1t will
be well that those Of you who have
character to maintain, and regulations
as yet unsmirched, separate yourselves,
now and for always, from the social and
business contamination of the persons
responsible for last Thursdays repub-
licauon.
Men do no, fight with the weapons
Of the libellous anonymunkle and the
slanderous insinuant--" Things" do
we unhesitatingly accept MI. MAC
farlane's assurance that he was no party
to the distribution Of the republished
circular. We think we know him we'll
enough to be sure that sort of fighting
has his unqualified contempt.
1t will perhaps be quite as well that
no one stirs the comparatively "ancient
history" Of twenty years ago. 1t is not
every tub that can stand on its own
family bottom. In this connection
would it not be well to remember the
adage "That those who live in glass
houses should not throw stones" The
republication Of the dead and buried
record Of purely private business
transaction-with the intent to injure
the present reputation and hurt the
family feelings Of a leading citizen, is
piece Of dirty business that only yer,
contemplate persons would have any
thing to do with.

Some stress has been laid-by the
promoters, the well wishers and the
would-be-just critics OF the proposed
National TBank-upon the so-called
unlimited liability clause
Sec. s. Each Shareholder shall be individ.
ually and personally liable for such proportion
Of all the debts Of the corporation contracted
during the time he was shareholder as the
amount OF stock OF shares owned by him bears tc
the whole Of the subscribed capital stock OF
shares Of the corporation.
or this section, Mr.. Preston says;
Sec. 5. Limit Of liability-The liability o
the stockholders is no, unlimited in the ordin
AIRY and legal meaning Of the expression.
The section merely provides that each stock
holder is TO be liable fos his proportion Of III.
debts, and il may be that only few Of ,h'
siockholders woulo turn out to be solvent ~
tha, the creditors would suffer to the extent O
The deficiency occasioned BY the insolyen
shassholden-
But still further objection may b,
made. What mean the words ICON
tSacted during the time he was share
holder DO they mean that share
holder who buys stock when the banl
is Incorporated and sells just befor'

JAPANESE AS HOUSE SERVANTS.

From an advertisement by the min
lister Of the interior, we are all informed
that those desiring Japanese in the ca
pacity Of either house servants or Of
plantation laborers, must apply for
them to him, at as early date as pos
sible. We think word of advice to
whom it may concern in regard to the
matter may not be amiss. A trained
Japanese servant is the best in the
world. He is polite, loyal and intelli
gent He is not, however, accustom-
ed to general housework in his own
country. Labor is there SO cheap
that people who have servants at
ALL have sufficient that, as a
rule, one servant does one thing. Many
house-holders Of Honolulu keep from
two to five servants. We have no hesi-
tation in saying that to all such afflicted
persons the Japanese would be boon.
For those who have lawns and flowers
to look after, Japanese gardener would
be delight. There is a class Of men
known as b<fkos (grooms), whose ances
tors Iot perhaps twenty generations
have been accustomed to take care o.
horses Then the attentive and polite
household servant we are sure woulc
turn the heads OF many Of Homo
lulu's now-afflicted women. We notice
that two, q man and his wife, car
be had for Sal per month, q grea
saving on present rates, besides III,
comfort. We would particularly advis,
all intending to order to particulariz'
the kind Of servant The women MAKE
excellent nurses for children OF indees
general household servants II cost
much less to feed japanese servant
that to feed Chinese. Rice, vegetable
and hsh is their dict, and thsy car
6os noshins else.

In addition to the sections Of the
United States Banking Act, issued as a
supplement tc the Gazette and circu-
lated by that paper in pamphlet form.
the following sections deserve consider
alton, and need no comment
"SEc. $3.50 Every association having com.
piled with the provisions Of this title, prelim'
mary to the commencement Of the banking
business and before it shall be authorized &c
commence banking under this title, shall
transfer and deliver to the Treasurer Of the
United States any United States registe,et
bonds, bearing interest, to an amount not les
than thirty thousand dollars and not less thar
one third Of the capital stock paid in. Such
bonds shall be received by the treasurer uPor
deposit and shall be by him safely kept in hi
office, until they shall be otherwise dispose
Of, in pursuance Of the provisions Of this title.
'SEc. sI6o. The deposit Of bonds made
by each association shall be increased as 1t,
capital may be paid up or increased, SO tina,
every association shall at all times have on de
posit with the treasurer registered bonds to the
amount Of at least one third Of its capita
stock paid in And any association that ma,
desire to reduce its capital or to clnse up il
business and dissolve its organization. ma,
take up its bonds upon returning to the comp
,roller lis circulating notes in the proportion
hereinafter required, or may take up any exces
of bonds beyond one third Of its capital stock
and upon which no circulating notes may hav,
been issued.

the bank fails is liable for his proper
tion of the debts Of the concern, or that
the second purchaser Of the stock shall
be liable II the purchaser of stock
who holds shares while debts are con
tracted is not liable who is surely
not the innocent after purchaser The
only safe rule is that the shares carry
the liability; but the language OF the
section does not enforce that idea. The
language may not be intentionally equi-
vocal but it is certainly ambiguous.

rHr BoaRD or H.ALrH REPORT.

After one month Of waiting, the legis-
lature has at last been treated to a
sight of what TO those who understand
the president of the board Of health and
the way sanitary measures have been
handled by him) was expected would be
an extraordinary document -" The Re
port of the President OF the Board of
Health" The long delay attending its
appearance led some to believe tina, the
president, realizing his awkward posi-
ton, would not report at all Others,
that the unusual time was being occu-
pied in fabricating a document so pom
derous as would efectually frighten
away the common reader. The latter
apprehension has seen its realization in
the immense affair we are about to
criticize. So far as the remarks of the
president are concerned they seem to
be generally, fair and candid on their
| face, although in certain particulars ii
designed, If intended to establish public
confidence in the man, in regard tc
either his ability or disposition to dea
honestly or intelligently with so great :
question as the physical well.being o
this people. The almost utter absence
of egoism in the report, and the want o
invidious reflection upon the work o
/ predecessors is in marked contrast with
the spirit generally shown by the
"premire when discussing such sub
jects.

Our objections to the bank bill as
framed were very clearly expressed
last week. But we have not objected
and do not object 10 the granting of
a bank charter on equal terms with
those granted to any similar institution
or open to any similar institution
always provided Objectionable features
be removed from the charter, upon full
public discussion and careful legislative
consideration. Manyhonest people say:
"This country does need cheaper capi-
tai Some risk must be taken by both
borrower and lender, or there can be
no extended agricultural develop
ment on these islands. At the same
time, agriculturists cannot pay high in
terest and pull through We must
have more money in the country and
at cheaper interest" There is some
superficial truth in this-perhaps some
genuine truth. But there is right
and wrong way to encourage the in
PRODUCTION of capital. Read this from
the Planters Monthly for June
Abankis indispensable organ Of a mercan.
tile community, by means OF which its money
capital flows freely where required. 1t is the
distributing reservoir of the irrigant fluid,
whereby capital is placed in ready and access.
ible relation with production and trade. We
therefore heartily welcome as many banks,
representing solid capital, as the amount o
business in the country may encourage to Sc,
up their vaults and counters among us. Some
scrutiny, however, seems called for when, &c
the functions of banking, it is proposed to add
the creation and multiplication Of currency BY
the issue of bank notes. A powerful company
are demanding of the Legislature incorporation
as bank of issue. They propose to secur,
their notes by government bonds deposited
with the registrar, after the fashion Of the U
S. national banks. The objection at one,
arises that the security is very inferior to tha
of U. S. bonds--no better at any rate than tn,
commercial furry in Honolulu which nigh
disable bank from keeping up payment o
specie on demand for its notes would be YER
apt to SO depreciate the market value Of tn
bonds on which they were secured as 10 make i
impossible for holders to realize except at
serious loss. Unquesionably, Hawaiian bond
must be liable to fluctuations of value such a
those Of a irst-class nation will not be. Bank
to issue are more or less unsafe anywhere
supplying the promise for the substance, AM
when the substance must be had, often disable
by the very strait and pressure of the day fror
affording 1t. In the broad connections Of
{ continent an issue system may be perfecte
that the danger of suspension Of specie pay
ments is reduced to minimum. In our isola
ton and narrowness the peril is great. TIL
, example Of California is a wise one for us
t adhere to, and avoid bank notes.
