.NDOLENCE OF The POLICE.

The tampering with the door locks
of the Temple of Fashion, reportedin
another column, suggests reflections
on the police. If the occurrence
had taken place in the suburbs,
where police officers are few and far
between, and cannot be reasonably
expected TO be otherwise as long as
the heads of the department are
without the means to increase the
number, it would have been very
different matter. But this was an
attempt at burglary, Or an act of
malicious mischief, committed right
in the heart of the city, where
policeman or policemen are sup
posed to be on watch all hours of
the day and night, and, moreover,
in locality moderately well lighted.
1t is hardly probable that burglar
would have essayed an entrance
through the front doors of the Tenn
pie of Fashion, or miscreant have
attempted mischief with the locks,
undetected, if the policeman on
watch had been alert in attention to
his duty. The fact is, which every
body knows, our police are too fond
of ease and too averse to eXertion
for the proper discharge of the
duties of their position. This sleepy,
free-and-easy method of fulfilling
their functions may have been
adapted to bygone times, when
thieves are said to have been I'M
known and everybody was honest.
Those days are past, and the COM
munity now has full proportion of
persons that need watching. A
sleeping or sitting policeman is not
the description of officer precisely
adapted to our present condition and
requirements. What we want is
policemen constantly moving on
their beats, with their eyes and ears
wide open. Is it too much to hope
for reform in this direction? We
are not disposed to be unnecessarily
hard or scrupulously exacting; but
really, we think this is a matter in
which amendment is needed, is posi-
BILE, may be effected Immediately,
and it is reasonable TO ask for it.

wise TO have contracted the debt at
home in preference to going abroad,
we cannot perceive that raising a
loan in England, or Germany, or
France, or any other country, is going
to jeopardizc our treaty relations
with the United States of America.
In our humble opinion, a large
amount of stupid nonsense has been
talked on this phase of the question
by intelligent men. So far from
our contracting loan in England
inducing the United States to abro-
gate the reciprocity treaty, it is
more likely to have precisely the
opposite effect Certainly the Presi-
dent of that great Republic was not
ignorant of our intention when he
penned his message TO Congress, two
or three weeks ago, and yet he
strongly recommended the continue
ance of the treaty. Indeed, we are
not without suspicion that the fact
of Hawaii going TO London for II
loan had some influence in inducing
that recommendation. The real
reasons that induced the Statesmen
at Washington to grant the treaty
in the first instance were political
and not commercial, and similar
reasons will probably prevail in its
continuance. 1t is the interest,
and undoubtedly the policy, of the
United States to sustain the para
mount influence which she has ac-
quircd here, and in the event of our
inability to maintain independence,
to annex the islands. Is it likely
that any step taken by this govern
ment calculated to strengthen the
hold of any other nation will induce
her to relax her grasp, which abro-
CATION of the treaty means? Not at
all. Just exactly the contrary.
| Now, as to the prospects of the
loan being raised in London, we Cal
say but little to set at ease the curl.
osity of those who beset us with the
question. The chances were un
doubtedly favorable at one time
Whether they have continued so is
predetermined. If negotiations hat
not attained stage from whicl
there was no recession, when tht
exaggerated statements of the Sal
Francisco papers reached London
these probably operated as a serious
check, possibly as death blow
This opinion is based on the assump
ton that the loan was to be PLACED
on the open market, and formed
with some knowledge of how sus
ceptible the London people are t.
newspaper statements. If, however
it was the intention of two O
three capitalists to take up the loal
themselves, not putting it in tn
open market, the premises are differ
ent and also the conclusion. These
of course, are mere speculations
which short time will show to b
right or wrong. In the meanwhile
!, we wait with patience, and admonis
those who question us as though W
knew all about it, to do likewise.

HOW ABOUT IhE LOAN?

How about the loan? This is a
question with which we are pestered
every day of our life, both during
office hours and on the public
streets. The answer, that we are
not in the confidence of the Govern
ment, and therefore not the reposi-
tory of their secrets, seems unsatis-
factory; for the same people come
back, day after day, with the same
question. OF course, we have, and
always have had, our own opinions
touching the Question, although not
always in the humor to give express
sion to them, to crafty the curiosity
of every curious inquirer. To-day,
however, we are in the mood to
talk little upon the subject.
In the first place, we have never
entertained that horror of borrowing
money for public purposes which
haunts some men. The views of
this paper on the matter were un-
ambiguously presented at the time
that the loan bill was under discus
sion in the Legislature. We have
held that moderate borrowing, in a
new and undeveloped country, for
reproductive public works, is justi-
fable and wise. Furthermore, that
two millions, or even four millions
of dollars might be wisely borrowed
by this country, and expended on
objects and in way that would be
for the general advancement, and
that would pay interest on the bor-
rowed capital very soon after its
disbursement. Moreover, this is
an opinion formed after a good
many years residence, and a longer,
if not better, acquaintance with the
country and its possibilities, than
most local newspaper writer's. AS
to the undeveloped resources of the
country being such as to warrant
the borrowing of the amount or
amounts named, to be expended on
works of a nature tina; would con-
tribute to the development of those
resources, is not matter of doubt
in our mind. To be sure, we have
not the same confident conviction
that the money would be judiciously
expended, and placed to the best
advantage. Here we have grave
doubts.
Regarding the question of borrow
ing in England, we scarcely think it
was necessary to go so far. With
stable governmental arrangements,
two million dollars, or the major
portion thereof, might have been
raised among our own people, right
here in Honolulu, on terms ut least
equally advantageous. So say local
capitalists, and we believe them.
In that case, organizing the govern,
ment in satisfactory shape should
have been the first operation, and
then appealing to the people for the
means to carry out the undertaking.
deemed necessary for the develop
ment of the country. A nationa
debt owing to the people of the ma
ton is always preferable to nationa
debt payable to foreign country
especially if the borrowing natioI
be small and weak. Every English
man understands this very clearly
and the reasons are so obvious tha
every Hawaiian should be able tt
comprehend it, too.
Although believing that the Ha
waiian Government is justified il
borrowing, that all the money need
ed could have been borrowed a
home, and that it would have beer

THE GOOD OLD TIMEs.-The good
times are always in the past; these are
the evil days. 1t has always been the
same, the same discomfort with the
present and admiration for the past.
We are told that more children die
now, and that life is shorter. All this
is untrue, declares DIR. Dio Lewis; there
has never been, in the history of the
world, any time as good as to-day, and
life is growing longer. In Geneva,
Switzerland, they first kept an account
of longevity. In the 10th century the
average life was 81 years, in the 18th
century 25 years, in the 18th century
33 years; from 1901 to 1888, 80 years
from 1914 to 1888, 40 years.
We see that in Geneva in the 10th
century, the average age was q years,
and in the 10th century, 40 years.
Fifty years ago, the Life Insurance
Company in Philadelphia, used a table
in which the expectation was % years.
The life-table of the United States, cal
culated in 1860, made it Al years. AT
no previous period in the history of the
race has sanitary progress approached
that of the 10Th century.

said commercial traveller, "it's fe-

she travels for a Chicago house, and
she sells goods like a January thaw.
She sits in an ordinary railway car, and
charges up sleeping-car berths in her
expenses, just like the rest of US. She
walks to the hotels from the stations,
and charges up the hack fares just as
we do. She beats the landlord down
to $1.50 day, and charges the house
$3.50 in the regular old style. She can
take care of herself every day in the
week, and she knows how to order up
a bottle of wine and work it on the ex-
pense account, too. Why, when l saw
her last she was a new silk dress ahead
of the firm, and by New Years pro-
posed to have seal-skin sacque out
of her expenses. And that isn't all
she has half of the hotel clerks in the
Northwest mashed on her, and the
way the little rascal knocks 'em down
on her bills is caution. She has a
regular trick of staying over Sunday
where one of her admirers runs the
house, and she walks off Monday morn
ing forgetting to pay the bill. What
does she sell? That's the funniest thing
about it. You would think she would

The hens should flock together and
proceed at once to boycott the individ-
ual who has developed an invention
for producing artificial eggs at a profit
for six cents a dozen. Atan exhibition
given by the inventor in New York
last week, the artificial eggs were
placed in a tray with the samples of
hens eggs and the dealers present
were unable to distinguish the differ
ence, or pick out the genuine from the
counterfeit. The whites are made of
albumen and the yolks of ground car
rots and saffron. After several trials
the gentlemen present decided that
they could distinguish no difference in
the outward appearance, and when
cooked they pronounced them equal If
not superior to the genuine. 1t is
stated that there is a factory at Pat
erson, N. j., where artificial eggs are
manufactured and Newark and Jersey
City stores have been purchasing them
under the supposition that they were
buying fresh eggs. One party has
been fined $50 under a Jersey law foI
selling adulterated food product. Such
eggs-traordinary proceedings certainly
demand the holding of a hen conven.
ton, at which there should be some
lively cackling with no laying on the
table of any motions which may bs
offered.

CLOSE LIVING The little country
of Belgium has 4SO persons to the
square mile, or three to every four
acres. That is, four acres are made to
support three persons. If the United
States were equally crowded the pOpu-
lation would be 1850, 100000, or more
than the population of the whole
world.
One acre perfectly well cultivated
can easily support one person. 1t is
possible to produce sixty bushels of
wheat on one acre, and this is equiva-
lent to the whole support of at least
two persons. 1t is simply matter of
calculation and management. Bel
gium shows what can be done. And it
is well done, for we do not hear of dis
tress in that busy country, nor of pau
pers, nor of a rush of dissatisfied Bel
gians crOwding away to better their
condition.
1t shows that high farming and ex-
cellent cultivation of the soil are profit
able, and may be taken as one of the
facts that proved this to be a settled
principle of agricultural economy.

The Decline Of the Rink.

1t is said that the decline of the roll
er-skating rink has set in. If this is
true it is certainly more than was to
have been expected, for the roller-skat-
ing mania has had a vogue sufficient to
have exhausted any amusement, and
itspOpularity, as always happens in such
cases, had been abused. A great many
speculative people made hay while the
sun shOne. Corporate rink builders,
manufactures of skates, dealers in var
iOus kinds of wood, have realized for
tunes out Ofthe business. The country
is dotted over with buildings for which
some new use will doubtless be found,
and many persons who held on too long
have probably been subjected to losses.
The rink craze was on a large scale
while it lasted, and it had a long career.
AS simple amusement, probably, roll
er-skating will not be abandoned, but
as a mania it's lease of life has expired.
In its final stages it had become to
some extent mischievous, and the reali
zation of this no doubt has hastened its
downfall. The rink as a social institu-
ton offered too many opportunities to
the evil disposed, and too many temp
tatiOns and pitfalls to the simple and
unsophisticated.
Then, too, foolish young people be-
gan to be infatuated with the sport
Girls and boys neglected school to go
to the rink. Young wives and also
young husbands got themselves into
all manner of complications through
rink adventures. Domestic brOils in
creased. The peace of the family
hearth was in many cases destroyed.
The divorce lawyers waxed fat. The
gOssips and scandal-mongers had a
perennial harvest. As the craze grew,
even the churches felt the demoralizing
influence. Attendance became slender,
collections were smaller than ever,
sObriety of demeanor threatened to
vanish from among the solid people OF
the community. Itwas asif the Nation
had been bitten by the tabled tarantula.
Of course this could not last long. It
is the pace that kills. The more
furious a caprice the sooner it is dis
carded The rink craze was too wide
spread and absorbing to endure. The
sentiment once satisfied, the sport be-
gan to pail, and then the reaction sci
in. The public have enjoyed their
sensation and paid for their experience
In many instances the game probably
was not worth the candle. Still il
must be expected that some other fancy
will take the place of the rink, and il
may not be less environed by assorted
dangers.-NeW York Tribune.

WOMEN IN PUBLIC SCHOOL BOARDS.
1t is really something of a calamity
to the public school system, says the
Boston Transcript, that all the women
candidates for the board are again de-
feated. In every way women are as
deeply interested in the proper admin
istration of the schools as men. With
nearly all the teachers women, and
more than half of the scholars girls,
there is much that calls for women
members on the committee in the man
agement of the public schools.
Women of trained ability for the
work are not wanting 1t is only nee
essary that women vote for them to Sc
cure their presence on the board.
Women citizens voted freely this year,
being evidently much more at ease at
the polls than ever before. Year by
year their vote must rapidly increase,
and with more judicious direction be-
come power.
