WHO SAID so I?

Now, who said that "there is no
authority" (in the sense of prece-
dent, }" for governments taking upon
themselves what would seem at first
sight enterprises essentially private
in their nature?" The BULLETIN
did not, although the "Gazette" ap-
parently intimates that we did.
Authorities by the dozen can be
cited for governments running opera
houses, pensioning actresses, manu-
featuring porcelain, brewing beer,
selling tripe, peddting dogs meat,
and innumerable other snall-beer
transactions but the BULLETIN
wanted to know, and still wants TO
know, where, out of Russia and
other despotc countries" does a
government include such occupations
among its daily duties: A govern
ment which boasts of being 'of the
people, by the people, and for the
people" should not look to dcspo-
tisms for its precedents. We will
concede to our contemporary that
"the question whether the Hawaiian
Government shall undertake u parti-
cular enterprise is one to be settled
entirely on its merits" but do not
concede that there is any merit in
the Hawaiian Government placing
the peoples money in speculative
private enterprises that should be
devoted to public works. This is
the point, and we shall have some
thing further to say upon it.

TAKE Me WHILE | AM IN THE.
HUMOR.

In the discussion in the House
this morning as to whether the bill
to abolish the Office of Governor
should pass its third reading, or be
deferred until the other bill provid-
ing for the discharge of the duties
of the Governors had been disposed
of, Noble Young favored the i'm
mediate passage on the ground that
"a bird in hand is worth two in the
bush" Noble Widemann intimated
the opinion that if the House had
sunk so low as to appear in the
character indicated by the first
named Noble, its state was sad.
Take me" (the House, ':.while l
am in the humor," was Mr.. Young's
idea. Truly, if the Legislature is
of that peculiar character, its com
position is deplorable, and any
honorable man, who is member,
may feel indignant at the suggestion.
Judge Widemann voiced the feel
ings Of any conscientious and
honorable member.

the hospital is open to him when he
is sick. But if he should seek its
aid in need, he will discover that his
two-dollar contribution to its funds
entities him to no privilege, but
that he has to pay for its "hospi-
tality,' if he is only there a day,
while the native of the country,
who contributes nothing, is admit
ted, boarded, lodged, and treated
free of charge. Let us put it thus:
A man is invited to the country !;
when he arrives he is fined for COM
ing; the fine is devoted to the main
tenance of charitable institution
which has no charity for him when
he is in need.
lmpolitic and unjust are the pro-
per words to characterize this two
dollar tax, and policy and justice
demand its abolition. The Honor.
able Noble Hitchcock, in his place
in the Legislature, has taken the
initiative in that direction. More
power to him! Probably some ole

WHY is AN AUGTE0NEER TREATED
THUS?

As long as other business people,
who are a necessity in any commu-
nifty, have to pay licence fee for
the right to carry on business, there
is no reason why an auctioneer
should not do the same. But why
an auctioneer should be required TO
pay $500 per annum for his licence,
while the wholesale merchant,
whose profits are greater, pays less,
is not so apparent. And yet this
difference exists here in Honolulu.
We have two auctioncers, and they
pay to the Government $500 . year,
for the permission t. be an accom-
mediation to the community. Retail
stOrekecpers pay $50 each and whole
sale dealers from S100upwards. The
auctoneer has another tax to pay,
from which the merchant and the
shopkecper are exempt, He has to
deposit in the public money chest
one-half per cent. of his gross re-
ceipts, giving bond for the faith
ful fullillment of this obligation.
There are two things which we
should like to know the reason of:
first, why charge the auctioneer so
much more than other people for
his licence? and, second, why exact

AN IMPOLITIC AND UNJUST TAX.

For a good many years past this
country has been crying out about
increase of population. We have q
country with inadequate population;
we want population. And yet the
country compels every conner who
comes to stay, to pay a fee of two
dollars before he is permitted to
land. Other countries that are in
want of population offer induce
ments, some giving free grants of
land, others free passages, etc, Ha-
waii has no waste lands, amounting
to anything, to give, and cannot be
expected to pay peoples passages
but might, if she wants people to
come, Eemit the entrance fee. There
is something peculiarly Hawaiian
about this two-dollar tax which for
eigners do not like. A Hawaiian
prepares birthday feast, to which
he invites his friends, and then
charges them with the cost of the
feast and a little over for profit.
There is an element of meanness,
too, about the pretence under which
the tax is collected The stranger
is told that it is "a hospital tax !"
from which he naturally infers that

WHERE is THE DIFFERENCE?

The Judiciary Committee to
whom was referred the bill
introduced by DIR. Wight, to
prevent the taking of fish by explo-
sives, did not like that measure.
They saw that it was worded in
a way calculated to work injury to
innocent persons, although such was
entirely foreign to the intention of
its author, and rejected it in toto.
A minority of the committee framed
a bill of their own,as a substitute for
the rejected measure, and to fulfil
its intent. This new creation was
in due time brought before the
House, where it now is.
The committees production is so
much like its predecessor, that an
"unlegal" mind cannot tell which is
which; like Barnum's two dogs,
the one which grew from a tail and
the one which grew q tail from a
stump, both the dog of the tail and
the tail of the dog having been
drawn out by the application of a
wonderful ointment. The Doctors
bill specified that "any party in
whose possession fish destroyed by
explosive substances are found shall
be adjudged guilty of having used
the same, and it shall be incumbent
on him to prove his innocence. D."
The Committees bill says, "The
possession of fish killed by giant
powder or other explosive substance
shall be prjma .tdcie proof that the
person in whose possession such fish
were found used giant powder, or
some other explosive substance, in
taking fish contrary to the provi-
sions of this Act" Where is the
difference? Lawyers, no doubt,
can find it Immediately, but obtuse
newspaper scribblers cannot. 1t
must be there, but we caunot see it,
any more than we can see the differ
ence between a half-crewn and two
and-sixpence, or quarter and
twenty-five cents. The first bill
adjudged guilty the party having
possession, and the second makes
possession Primo .tdcie proof of
guilt.
So that if member of the Judi
ciary Committee goes to the fish
market, and unwlttingly purchases
fish which some fisherman has taken
by the use of giant powder, he may,
while on his way home, thinking of
the nice fish dinner in prospect, be
seized and dragged off to the Station
House by an officer of the law, lost
his fish, the money he has paid fol
them, and his dinner, besides hav
ing to appear before Judge Daytol
for breach of law. Having in pos
session fish illegally captured is
according to the bill, 21rima .taci
proof that he has illegally captured
them. A sufficient reason for, ant
a justification of, his arrest.

con.titution of the Syrian Horse.

An interesting statement is made by Col. Barrow, who was the chief organ izer of mounted infantry in the British campaigns in the Soudan. The horses for the Nineteenth hussars were Arab stallions of fourteen hands, whose aver age age was between 8 and 9 years, bought in Syria and lower Egypt. Out of $50 horses, during nine months in a hard campaign, only twelve died from disease. This he attributes, firstly, to the climate of the Soudan being most suitable for horses, and, secondly, to the Syrian horse having wonderful consti- tuition.
 The distance marched, irrespective of recoADoissances, etc., was over 1,500 miles, and the weight carried averaged 196 pounds. The weather during the last four months was very trying, food was often limited, and during the desert march water was very scarce. When Gen. Stewards column made its final ad- vance, the 155 horses the Nineteenth had with them marched to the Nile without having received drop of water for fifty five hours, and only one pound of grain. Some fifteen or twenty had no water for seventy hOuIs. Al the end of the corn- paign, and after we ks rest, the ami. mals were handed over to the Twentieth hussars at Assouan in as good order as when they left Wady-Halfa nine months reviously.-Chicago Tribune.

An Intelligent Ape in Dresden.

Confined in the Dresden geological gar den was an ape whose intelligence was well-nigh human. If left alone for any time Hhe tried to open the lock of her cage without having the key, and she once succeeded in doing so. Then she stole the key, which was hanging on the wall, hid it in her axilla, and crept quietly back to her cage. With the key she easily opened the lock. She could use a gilnlet. She would draw of her keepers, scramble up to some place out of reach with them, and then throw them at his head when he asked for them. She could blow her nose with a pocket-hand- kerchief. Just before her death, which occurred from consumption, she put her arms around her keepers neck when he came to visit her, looked at him placidly, kissed him three times, stretched out her hand to him and died. She displayed an affection and grief that could be truly called human.-Cincinnati Enquirer.

Eating Living Fisb .t |. 5apanese Feast.

Eating Living Fisb xt Japanese Feast.
 The mako advanced in broad line with the two radiant beauties in the center bearing large tray on which lay a magnificent carp, breathing and with his scales shining as if just drawn from the water. The master of ceremonies advanced and receiving the tray from the mako set it on the mat and turned it slowly around that all might see the liv- ing picture. As the mako retired all leaned forward to watch the noble carp as it lay quivering on its bed Of moss and crosses, with background of greenery like a true Japanese garden.
 This feature of serving the living fish at feast is one of the rare old customs of Japan that foreigners seldom exper- fence in this era of change, and we had thrills of satisfaction at witnessing the grand scene at the same time with hu- mane shivers at watching the slow breathing of the dying carp. In the deftest way morsels and flakes of raw fish were lifted from its back and passed to the company, and with fear of MT. Bergh before me lifted up the shreds of clear pinkish-yellow flesh, dipped them in SOY and ate them. It was worse than cannibalism in a sense, and we tried to think that the carp before us had not been touched with knife, but that bits from the back of another fish had been cunningly concealed behind it and passed | to us.
 | The epicures meanwhile made all the Japanese noises expressive of apprecia- ton as they fingered on the delicious morsels. A sudden turn or jar of the tray, or as was inhumanly insisted in dis cussing this feature of the feast after wards, a sprinkle of salt, caused the carp to suddenly writhe, double and quiver with agony and show the great hollow in its back from which the flesh had been slowly cut. Convinced that we had been eating that very carp dropped my chop sticks guiltily and felt that fish's eye fixed responsibility on me fer as long as it remained in the room and haunting me afterwards.--Kioto Cor.

Dr. Holmes and the Autograph Fiends.

Tho commonest letters are those asking for autographs. A simple request ac-
 companying stamped envelope directed to the applicant, and containing the card or slip to be written on, will often bring an answer. If the applicant will not take the trouble to make everything as easy as possible to the respondent, but contents himself with sending stamp, his letter should go into the waste-basket, and the stamp he appropriated as the person thus imposed upon sees fit. The request should always he brief; the best ever received had no length at all, being simply blank card in stamped and directed envelope. The number of words sometimes used to convey the ap- piicant's request is truly astonishing. A really important message may be ex- pressed very briefly.-Atlantic Monthly.
