The Pacific commercial advertiser. [volume] (Honolulu, Hawaiian Islands) 1885-1921, 1885-04-03
- The Frfenh.N

The April number Of this publicat ton has
been received. Those sections which refer to
matters affecting the progress of religious
societies are well and carefully edited, but a
love of truth and a sense of responsibility
compels US to say that when this special
field is left The Friend becomes very ridicu-
lous. For example, skating Kinks are con-
demned on physical grounds, because acct
dents have occurred at them and they are
condemned on moral grounds, because ac-
quaintanceships have been formed at them
resulting in improper relations. By parity
Of reasoning railroad and boat travel
ing should be condemned, also carriage
driving and equestrian exercise, because
accidents are frequent among those who tide
or drive and the moral argument, logically
applied, would suppress social intercourse
altogether. Even sacred gatherings have
not been without their social scandals, as
everybody knows. But who would think of
condemning them on that account Yet
that is what T he Friend has done in its first
editorial if its argument is worth anything.
Be it understood that we are not entering the
lists as champions of skating Kinks or any
other form of amusement; we are simply
indicating the absurdity of The Friends
line Of attack.
This may be in the serict path of duty,
however, for a religious journal: but most
certainly political discussion does not fall
into the same category. For forty-two years
the late Rev. s. G. Damon conducted The
Friend as a labor of love, and under his
oDd
it attained to an exalted measure of infu-
ence and respect, which it will speedily
forfeit if it becomes a'flter for political
ideas. During all the years the late Mr..
Damon conducted The Friend it was strictly
impartial. Politics were not admitted to
its columns, much less did it assume the
role of partisan. 1t was conducted solely
in the interest of religion and morality, and
it became power in the land which every
one recognized and respected. Under its
present management it is in danger of fall
ing from it's high standard. This all
would regret, as well for the memory of
its venerable founder as for the noble cause
which he had so much at heart.
We trust that the article referred to was
inserted without the knowledge of the re-
sponsible editors, and that next month an
apology will be made for the indiscre ton.
The oracular utterances of The Friend on
the silver question shall have attention at
another time. 1t is, however, only neces-
sary to add in this place that they have been
warmly Endorsed by the Bulletin, to satisfy
persons who understand the subject, that
The Friend is egregiously in error. The
unsophisticated verdancy Of our evening
contemporary on the currency issues was
pathetically apparent in recent editorial,
which was suggested by a New York dis
patch describing speculative turn in ''trade
dollars at the great gambling center of the
American continent. 1t had about as much
bearing upon the conditions of Hawaiian
finance as it had upon the authenticity of
the Book of Mormon.

The InnOee emit at Skating Match.

Isn't it proof of the relationship of
the sole and the skate when they are both
found to come under one head?
Isn't the ''incllnation of the foot" of a
beginner to go beyond its owners most
sanguine anticipations?
How is it that novice's ground skates
have as uncomfortable an ambition to
soar heavenward as those of any other
brand?
When the ice gets rotten, aren't all
skating matches in progress likely to fall
through?
When a skater "turns in" his skates,
do they submit resignedly to his ebullition
of temper, or does it merely mean that
he's starting on a "spin" over the ice?
How can any one reasonably expect
steady skating with pair of ''screwed"
skates?
Isn't the attachment of the skates to
the boots rather calculated to turn an
otherwise unequal skating contest into a
"loven match?
Wouldn't solitary skater practically
illustrate what ice -olation means Funny
Folks.

pay no more. If drivers are abusive,
let their numbers be noted and the
cases reported TO the police. A single
week would suffice to break down the
hack drivers combination, and en-
force the legal rates of fare, which
are exceedingly liberal.
The time charges under regulations
II and Is appear to be excessive.
Very heavy bills are often incurred
for most trifing services. The rule
should be modified to the extent at
least of imposing only half driving
rates for detention while horses are
at rest. And especially should regu
lation % be amended. Under it
double rates of fare are charged after
ten o'clock D. m. Double rates should
only count from midnight. Ofcourse,
under regulation %, the drivers main
tain their advantage, and double-up
on their own schedule and not on the
legal rates. Moreover, the special
rates for Kapiolani park and the Pail
are excessive, and deter many from
visiting these points.
IF the suggestions we have made
were carried into effect, 1t would be
much better for the owners of licensed
hacks, while their drivers would earn
far less wages. Indeed, we venture
to think that the owners are only
Junior partners in their business, the
drivers getting away with the bulk of
the profits. But this is a matter
between employer and employed,
which they should settle themselves.
What we have to do with is their re-
lations towards the public. They
have a law-made monopoly, and
should honestly abide by its condi-
tions. This is not done as a rule at
least. There may be exceptions, but
they are few and far between n. The
public owe it to themselves and to
"the stranger within their gates" to
see to it that the special privileges
conferred upon licensed hack drivers
are not abused by extortion, or in any
other way.

VITAL STATISTICS.

Elsewhere we print the report of
the Health Department of Honolulu
for March last. The percentage of
sickness in the schools is not large.
The deaths recorded for the past
month numbered52 81, which is slightly
greater than for any corresponding
month since 1881, in which year the
recorded mortality was 1T. This
record includes public institutions,
and therefore is not fair criterion
of the average health of the city
population.
Speaking generally, we cannot but
express regret at the very imperfect
method of keeping vital statistics in
these islands. Adequate provision to
that end should be made next Legis-
lature. Every civilized country, and
one which Christendom regards as
heather, and therefore "uncivilized,"
has the most accurate record of
births and deaths, also of the move
ment of its population. The Ha-
waiian Kingdom should not be re-
miss in this matter. Very interest
ing social problems are in process of
solution here, aud an accurate record
of marriages, births and deaths is
essential to their thorough under
standing. The cost to the country
need not be heavy; but any reasona-
BILE sum expended in that service
would be well applied.

LABOR TROUBLE IN THE EASTERN
STATES.


The advocates of high tariff in the
United States always fell back upon
the interests of the laboring classes,
whose wages, it is alleged, would fall
to the European level, without dis
elimination against foreign products.
AT a first glance this is plausible
enough, but il will not bear examin-
alton; and the labor classes are fast
finding it out on their own account.
They are making the discovery that
foreign competition is not the only
thing to be guarded against. Home
competition and the dishonest and
extravagant management of in
dustrial and manufacturing establish
ments generally, tend to reduce the
dividends paid to stockholders, hence
the pay of the operatives is reduced
to cover the populations and extrava-
gance of the management. This is
the general rule; there are exceptions
doubtless, but in all such exceptional
cases capital and labor get along very
well together.
These remarks are suggested by
great strike in the carpet trade of the
United States. This is one of the
highly protected industries, and so
successful has it become that carpet
imports are very inconsiderable. But
does this fact inure to the benefit of
labor? The contrary is the fact. The
great carpet mills at Yonkers, New
York, and Philadelphiaares shut down,
the operatives being out on strike.
Two firms at Yonkers had in their
employ $500 girls and 500 men
when the strike originated. During
1884 there had been two reductions of
10 per cent each in wages, but the
girls averaged from 81 % to So per
week. The strike began to resist
furthur 10 per cent shave. In Yon-
kers, $1,000 out of population of
$4,000 are dependent upon carpet
mills for support. In Philadelphia
over 5000 carpet weavers and other
mill hands are out on strike. They
have all discovered that the tariff does
not protect labor in any shape or
way.
