RurgIarious Attempt.

On Wednesday evening about 6
o'clock Mr. George W. Smith, of the firm
of Benson, Smith & Co., who resides on
Kukui street, was sitting on the veranda
in front of his house. Mrs. Smith was
just thinking about closing the blinds,
when loud crash was heard in the rear
part of the house. They both made
haste to where the noise was, and were
surprised to see a man making his exit
from the premises. 1t is supposed that
he had been making his way into the
house, when he stumbled over a box of
empty bottles, the noise causing him to
clear out in double quick time. Woe be
to the man who prowls around Mr.
Smiths premises again.

Opium smoker Caught.

On Thursday morning, between 9 and
10 O'Clock, Special Officer Good made a
raid on the Chinese Theater, in the old
Custom House, foot of Nuuanu street,
and captured a Chinaman smoking
opium. The officer expected to find a
number of Chinese smoking, but hap
pened there at the wrong time. The
prisoner was taken to the Station House,
along with horn containing opium and
pipe.

DISCRIMINATION FIGURES.

We admit that our morning contem-
porary has made a point against us in
our statement of the total percentage
of domestic exports for the past two
months; but mere error in the state
ment of percentages does not weaken the
force of our argument, which was to the
effect that the Reciprocity Treaty is be-
ing menaced by local discrimination
against American shipping, while taking
full advantage of the treaty bonus upon
our sugar The Opposition paper has
simply demonstrated it's force with
greater accuracy, and we accept its cor
recsion. American bottoms carried IS
per cent and British and German bot
toms carried "a per cent of the total do
nestle exports for January and February
last. The cargoes of American vessels
were valued at $941, 1872 90 during the
two months in question, while British
and German bottoms took cargoes valued
at $4S4 ,572 81, which is fifty per cent OF
the American total plus $13,975 81.
Now, comparing our contemporary
calculation of total percentages with the
Custom House returns Tor 1885, we find
that whereas American vessels carried
80 .o5 per cent of the total commerce of
The Pacific commercial advertiser. [volume] (Honolulu, Hawaiian Islands) 1885-1921, 1886-03-05

the Kingdom during the year, they SIM
ply carried IS per cent of the total ex-
ports of the Kingdom during the first
two months of this year, an apparent
against American ship
ping of 23.05 per cent as contrasted with
the record of foreign commerce for 1885.
OF course this cannot be accepted
as the exact percentage which the
present years foreign trade will show.
The tendency, however, is to increase
rather than to diminish the employment
of foreign bottoms, other than American,
judging from the tone of the morning
and evening Opposition papers.
We have no intention whatever to die
tate to any firm how it shall conduct its
business, but we have a right to protest,
in the interest of sugar, rice and coffee
producers and fruit growers, against per-
sistence in a policy which may result in
the abrogation of the treaty, or at all
events in greatly strengthening Ameri-
can opposition to its continuance. 1t is
not to be supposed for a moment that
the Committee on Commerce of the
House of Representatives and the For
eign Relations Committee of The United
States Senate will overlook this fact,
which must appear in the official reports
OF the duly accredited representatives OF
the United States in this country. The
United States has conferred a very great
To1o lie H. <1asr
domestic products upon the same footing
as TO duties as its own home products
1t is true that it did not stipulate in the
treaty that products OF these Islands adj
mitted free under it should be trans
ported in American or Hawaiian vessels
but an equitable construction of the
treaty would suggest this to our shippers
Such has not been the uniform practice
however, and with the beginning of the
present year equitable considerations d
reciprocity have apparently been disre-
garded to much greater extent than
formerly. Persistence in this dangerous
course is what we object to. Outside
this point, which involves the genera
interests of the country, we have nothing
whatever to do with the business meth
DDS of any firm. Were American ton
mage not available we should say moth
ing about it, the necessities of commerce
being a sufficient excuse; but inasmucl
as there is no lack of steam and sailing
vessels under the American flag, prop
erly classed for insurance purposes, there
is really no excuse for what is now hap
pening in our export trade.

IT Fl r
LAwLEsSNEss AND THE
POLICE.

The presence of a large and bold
criminal class is evidenced by the preva-
lence of burglary and other crimes
against property. Crimes against the
person are rot OF frequent occurrence,
but they are certain to follow the inn
punity with which robberies by night
and by day can be committed. From the
other islands we hear frequent complaint
of robberies without any police detec-
ton, SO that whether it be in the capital
city or outlying places the rule is the
same: The thief gets away with the
plumber, and we presume laughs at the
officers of justice and the law.
The columns of the local press con-
tanned so many reports of burglaries and
burglarious attempts for months past
that the recital became monotonous, and
we have no doubt the thieves confed-
eracy was correspondingly emboldened.
1t appears to us, however, that it is
about time there should come change
of some kind-either that the thieves
should steal the police or that the police
should detect and arrest some of the
thieves. Either incident would possess
the merit of novelty, and would be
greatly appreciated by the community at
large.
But we are free to admit that our po-
lice establishment is not capable of deal
ing effectively with the large area to be
covered by the force, as it is at present
organized. Some time ago We suggested
system of patrol, and this must be
adopted if the outskirts are to be pro-
tected. The force may possibly need to
be strengthened, and its detail for duty
modified; but whatever change may be
needed to insure efficient police protec-
ton should unquestionably be made
Above all, there should be an
efficient detective force. Judged by re-
suits this does not exist at present,
although we are very reluctant to speak
harshly of the present detective staff
At the same time it is the painful truth
that none of the numerous burglaries
and thefts reported have been traced
home by the detectives; and in one
case, when part of the stolen property
was found in possession of a person
arrested upon private information, the
Court gave the prisoner the benefit of
the doubt and turned him loose, his
passage out of the country being de-
frayed by private subscription. Now, it
must have occurred to most people as
not a little singular that so much wear
ing apparel should have been stolen and
none of it recovered. There is no market
for stolen clothing here, but there is on
the Coast, and a solution of this mys-
ferrous feature of the case may be found
in the suPpositjoR|that the Honolulu
thieves work In concert with some one
at SIN Francisco who "knows the ropes"
there and here. Anyhow, the detectives
have not made any more rational sug-
eestion, by way of explanation of this
very significant fact.

All for Nothing.

During Wednesday night some one at
tempted to get into a Chinaman's store
on the corner of Beretania and Smith
streets. One of the outer boards had
been bored in holes across its whole
breadth with an auger. No less than
thirteen holes were made. AS the in
side of the store was lined with tongue
and-grove boarding, the would-be rob-
Der evidently concluded on reaching it
that entrance was not so easy as he ex-
nected.
