THE BOGUS BUTTER LAW.
Dealers Slow in Taking Out Revenue
Licenses,


The dealers in oleomargarine do not
seem to be in any hurry TO take out the
license in compliance with the law which
went into effect on the first of the month.
Thus far Deputy Collector Dunwoody
states that only three or four licenses have
been taken out. The grooers Will have to
bestir themselves in the next few days, as
the law will be rigidly enforced after
Dec. l.
Commissioner Miller anticipates some
difficulty in the enforcement OF the law
growing out OF the opinion OF Attorney
General Garland releasing oieomargarine
oil, neutral and similar substances in
fluid form from taxation. IL will be
very difficult If not an altogether lmpos-
sible thing, IN his Judgment, TO detect all
authorizations or butter, but he Is quite
sure there would be no difficulty in watch
ing the manufacture OF the material
which Is the basis OF the authorizations.
The oils used in the manufacture or arti-
t1cial butter cannot be well made without
attracting the notice and attention OF the
revenue officials.
AS the laws stand now, however, it 10
necessary for the government to follow
these oils beyond the point OF manufsc-
ture, and show their use in compounding
an imitation of butter before the tax can
be levied. The idea of MIR. Miller is TO
have the oleomargarine law amended 30
as to provide for the levying OF a uniform
tax upon all these oils instead Of upon the
artificial butter products, with further
provision permitting rebate to such con-
sumers as make proper proof to the reve-
nue. bureau OF the TACT that they have
used the oils for lubricatIng or similar
purposes. The tax will thus be collected
upon the oil itself and refunded upon
subsequent proof that it Was used in other
ways tnan Ia the imitation vi butter.

not thought of by many people even
here on the plains, but l would not
mind telling those that in my humble
estimation there is not n house that
is supplied from Makiki reservoir
that could be saved by water from
that source at the present time. A
comfortable outlook, is it not? We
pay our water rates in advance, the
waterworks are by all estimates the
best paying investment our Govern
ment has, then why can't we have
enough water? l have thought that
it might be the temperance move
that causes this sudden falling off
of our water, if this is so why
another lecture season on that very
worthy subject would leave us
without any. In hopes that this
will draw the immediate attention of
the authorities concerned, and
thanking you for your space, I can

PACIFIC CABLE PROSPECTS.

By the Colonial mail it is learned
that Sir Alexander Stuart had
visited Ottawa, to confer with the
Dominion Government regarding the
project of telegraph cable from
the Canadian Pacific Coast to the
Australasian Colonies. A news
paper comment represents the Cana
dians as being eager to develop
Pacific trade in connection with
their transcontinental railway, now
ready for regular traffic. 1t is fur
ther believed that the British Gov
ernment, from Imperial motives,
will substantially aid the enterprise,
while the Australasian colonists are
willing to take a goodly share of the
burden for the sake of greater and
cheaper facilities of communication
than they now enjoy with the out
side world. Doubtless it will be to
the interest of the corporation under
taking the enterprise, to have a
resting place and repeating station
for the cable on these Islands, in
which case our Government may be
able to secure the privileges of tele-
graphic communication with the
world for something less than the
maximum subsidy granted by the
last Legislature, namely, an annual
sum of 100000 for fifteen years.
At the same time, it is to be hoped
the new Legislature will be disposed
to exercise no less liberality, il
deemed necessary, than the preced-
ing one, to secure convenience OF
such untold value for the kingdom
as telegraphic connection with the
rest of the world.

several thousand of a transient popu-
lation would be found at almost any
date within the coast line of the
country. Passenger vessels are
coming and going all the time, while
vessels of foreign navies frequently
drop in for longer or shorter calls.
So long as these vessels are within
the borders of the country, all on
board of them are under its laws and
protection, and thus, for the time
being, belong legitimately to its
population. Those 200 mentioned
above may be all gone the next
morning, but possibly the average
number of people coming and going
likewise, every night in the year,
may he equal to, if it does not ex-
ceed, that figure. Therefore, this is u
class that ought to be included in
the census. 1t is species of popu-
lation, moreover, which is to be
courted by any country, for it is
one that leaves much wealth behind
in its ebbing. This kingdom should,
on this consideration, invite, as
cordially as possible, an increase of
the travelling public to its shores.
To this end the Government, in
making compacts with steamship
companies, should insist upon the
best possible facilities being afforded
travellers to do, and be done by, the
country.

BAD SYMPTOMS.

The Daily Press is showing
symptoms of peculiarly undetin-
able condition of mentality. Its
friends, including ourselves, are
beginning to feel anxious. A week
or two ago it got into state of un-
safe excitement over the "publica-
ton of public business" and being
unable to maintain the position it
had taken up, probably owing to
agitated nerves, gave solemn pro-
mise to straighten the matter out in
a day or two. 1t is a misfortune
that our contemporary has not yet
sufficiently recovered to be in a
proper state of mind to fulfil its
word. Indeed, subsequent symp-
toms seem to indicate increasing dis
turbance in the region of its brain.
The leading editorial of last Friday,
the ninth instant, was bad sign
and produced uneasiness in the
breasts of many devoted adherents.
This mornings issue affords no
indication of any appreciable i'm
provement. In fact, gives rise to
apprehensions of the arrangement
becoming chronic. When an intoxi-
Gated man rails against drunkenness,
bystanders smile; and when our
contemporary talks of ''some peo-
pie" being Every hard to please,
and, like self-styled critics, think
everything must be criticised to
keep up reputation for criticism
which is too often founded upon
mere prejudice we feel inclined to
smile, too, just as we do when we
hear the saucepan accusing the fry
ing-pan of having dirty face.

extent that may specifically appear.
