CUSTOMS STATISTICS.

The regular official statement of
domestic exports for the quarter
ending December 81, 1888, has APP
peared. The total valuation is
SI,7O9,S97. OF this sum sugar is to
be credited with 81, 499,95712 and
rice with $14O,58329. These, with
hides $22, sc, wool $18,554.3O, and
bananas $16,652 foot up 81, sos, 940.57,
or within $10,856.43 of the whole
amount. At the same time there is
furnished a comparative statement
of the quantities of each article for
the years 1887 and 1883. 1t will be
noticed that the increase in sugar
has been 23,184,69 lbs. or something
over ten per cent. Rice has de-
creased 805,600 lbs. or a little over
six per cent. Wool has increased
486,378 lbs, tallow 148,03O lbs, and
bananas 1887 punches. Other
changes are unimportant. OF coffee
we exported 17,130 lbs, which was a
gain of 1880 lbs. over 1887. The
comparative statement would be
much more interesting if the values
of the different articles were given
as we'll as the quantities. Of the ex-
ports for the last quarter, $685.
992.62, or about seventy-nine per
cent. was shipped from Honolulu.

THE TREASURY STATEMENT.

The statement of receipts and dis
bursements at the Hawaiian Treas
ury for the last quarter, appears in
our official column this morning.
We should have been glad to see a
more detailed statement of expendi
lures, particularly in the Interior
Department. The sum of $118,000
from Postal Savings Bank appears
among the receipts. As no item of
payment on this account appears on
the opposite side, we conclude that
the sum named represents the net
increase in deposits for the quarter.
This indicates a strong feeling of
confidence, particularly among peo-
pie Of moderate means, who con-
stitute the bulk of the depositors.
1t also suggests very respectable
degree of prosperity among our peO-
pie. The whole statement foOts up
as follows, cash balance October LIST
$144, 53801, receipts for the quarter
$661, 25997, disbursements for the
same time $427,O56.77, and balance
on hand December 31st $378. 41.21.
It is a long time since the Hawaiian
Government has been able to show
any such balance. It indicates that
the time may not be so very far dis
tant when the Government will be
in a condition to consider the pro-
priety of beginning to pay its
bonded debt.

THE MANAGEMENT OF THE INSANE
ASYLUM.

A recent writer in the Bulletin has
referred to the appointment Of DIR.
Tucker to the SUPPLEMENTARY of
the Insane Asylum, as an illustra-
ton of the improper doings of the
present Government. The gentle
man could scarcely have been more
unfortunate in his selection of a
specimen brick from which to infer
the general rottenness of the reform
edifice. Whether he errs intention
ally or through ignorance is a matter
Of very little consequence, though
we consider the latter supposition to
be the most probable. It is certainly
no more than the simplest justice,
both to the appointing power and
the appointee, to say, as we do with
a great deal of pleasure, that there
is no branch of the public service in
which the change for the better,
within the last year and half, has
been more decided and nnmistakable
than in the institution of which DIR.
Tucker has the charge.
It will be remembered that soon
after the present Minister Of the In
terror came into office he appointed a
commission of three we'll known gen
tlemen, one physician, one lawyer,
and one merchant, to investigate and
report on the condition and manage
ment of the Asylum. The state of
things which their report disclosed
was disgraceful in the extreme. We
need not go into details. The re
port was published in full, and
speaks for itself. That an institu-
ton of this kind should have been
kept in the condition, and admins
tered by the methods which this was
proven to be, was nothing less than
a public scandal and a national dis
grace. 1t was evident to even the
dullest understanding that radical
change was imperatively demanded
DR.. Webb thereupon resigned, and
DR.. Tucker was appointed as physi
clan in his place, with the added
duties and powers of General Super
intendent. This concentration OF
authority in the hands of the medi
| cal officer was in accordance with the
unanimous recommendation Of the
investigating commission.
The result has indicated in thu
fullest manner the wisdom Of thu
change. DR.. T. has shown intelli
gence, administrative ability, and de
votion to his work. The impOrtan
changes which have been made il
the methods of treating the inmate:
are all in the line Of enlightened hu
mainly, and have the sanction of re
cognized authorities in such matters.
The vast improvement in the build
ings and grounds, as we'll as of al
the appliances needed in such
place, show for themselves, and arr
far more eloquent than words
Cleanliness, order and comfort hav,
taken the place of dirt, disorder an(
prison-like gloom. The present con
dition of the Asylum, and of almos
everything connected with it, is a
unlike what formerly existed, as ;
parlor is unlike pig-sty. It would
seem as if only the spirit of indis
eliminate fault-fnding could single
out the appointment of the gentle
man by whom these reforms have
been effected, as something to grow
at.

THE MUTTERINGs and growlings of the
hordes of office seekers in Washington at
the slow rate st which official changes are
being made, are increasing both 10 numbers
and force. The louder come from Southern
republicans, and the loudest from Southern
negroes, who, now that their money is giving
out, are contemplating tramp back home,
leaving the Offices behind them. Their talk

SOME UNwIsE and i'll informed people
really believe that liquor is the principal
cause CT poverty, vics and crime. The stu
dious and practica philanthropis's of New
York put sz ness far ahead of liquor among
the causes of the evils referred to. The ex-
perience of certain communities in the
North in which the use OF liquor has been
reduced, is to the effect that crime has in
creased therein; and the records of Mecklen-
burg county in this State show that the
criminal expenses of the county were greater
when the receipts from liqnor licenses were
smallest. A great many things are taken
for granted which careful examination
will prove TO be untrue.
