CHUNG WAA.

In the case Of Chung Waa, q
naturalized Hawaiian subject, vs..
The Minister Of Foreign Affairs, the
Chief Justice has rendered deci
sion in favor Of the petitioner. The
question tested was simply whether
II was within the power Of the Leg
islature to limit the liberty Of any
class OF subjects in a manner uu-
known 10 the laws. The Court de-
cides that II cannot, and following
the American cases declares that the
right Of free admission and Ioeomo-
tiOu can only be denied in case Of
crime.
The decision Is highly interesting
and settles an important point Of
constitutional law now raised for the
first time. 1t does not affect in any
way the general validity Of the sta
tutes restricting Chinese immigra-
ton.

TWO rELEPHONg COMPANIES.

The curse of having two telephone
companies where only one is needed,
is something which is pretty keenly
felt in Honolulu.
The conspicuous lack of dividend
is, we believe, q feature com
mon to the financial reports of both
companies, and makes them yearn
even more than the public for the
blessings of peace and harmony. All
attempts, however, at any compro-
mise have hitherto failed, shattering
on the greed unreasonableness or
stubbornness of somebody.
Some may suppose that having
two companies is benefit, because 1t
keeps down rates. 1t is, however,
benefit by which a few profit, in
order that many may suffer. In the
first place all the stockholders of
both companies are victims. Then
too all those numerous individuals
are sacrificed whose business inter
ests or other necessities compel
them TO subscribe to both telephones.
Finally all the subscribers are dam
aged, because they might get the
benefit of a telephone with a much
larger list of subscribers.
Doubtless, a consolidation of the
two companies would result in some
increase in the rates of subscription.
This is not merely perfectly ma
tural result, but a very fair one.
The rates now ruling are ridiculously
low-lower, we believe, than any
where else, and far lower than those
which generally obtain in the Amer
lean cities, while prices which are now
charged cannot possibly insure
profit. A moderate increase would
undoubtedly do sO-and there is no
reason to apprehend that more than
a moderate increase will be charged.
The stockholders would not be q
foreign corporation, settled down on
us for purposes of pillage, but are
our own fellowcitizens
The evils of competition are great
enough at best. 1t is astonishing
that decent people should beso ready
to turn the business rivalry into
cut-throat process. Two ice CON-
panies where there should be one,
two telephone companies where
second is superfuous is not this an
even of Hobbies war of
all against ali?

TEMPERANCE LEGISLATION.

The Y. NJ c. A. are disposed, the
Bulletin states, TO make an intell-
gent presentation Of the temperance
issue TO the next Legislature. Every
one must rejoice to learn that this
viii be done. An Intelligent pre-
sentation will take into account al
the facts Of the situation, the actual
condition in our community, the
state Of public sentiment on the queS-
ton, and viii base its remedial legis-
lstion entirely on these, and not on
an abstract view of the ethics Of the
question. On this topic we are glad
to be able to concur with our neigh
Dor, the Bulletin.
The difficulty with which almost
all the legislation with which the
statute books of so many American
States are numbered is, that they
have simply failed TO conform to the
elementary necessities of the case.
They have contented themselves
with giving a radical expression TO
the sentiment of a transient majority,
and have IN consequence in a great
Lumber of instances, made the name
of prohibition an object of obloquy
and contempt.
A simple majority even if it is 8
permanent one, is not sufficient to
execute any stringent anti-iquor
legislation. The majority must be
pretty large, thoroughly aroused, de-
termined, and in earnest 1t is hardly
necessary 10 observe that the pro
spect of obtaining such a majority IN
this country, or any majority at all, for
years TO come, is entirely hopeless.
The intelligent presentation Of the
issue TO the Legislature, if it Is to
deserve that name, must take these
circumstances into account, must re-
nOunee the hope of passing either
now or IN the near future, any sweep
ing measure, and must content itself
with proposing such moderate rene
dies aimed ar extreme evils, as VIII
commend themselves to the average
conscience, and average sentiment Of
the community.

1t is nv belief. gathered from conver-

ought TO know, that immigrants of this

hapS find ourselves, at no distant date,
stranded by the total abolition OF sugar
duties in the United States. There are
instances in existence to-day upon the
Islands of small proprietors cultivating
sugar cane, and have no doubt that the
same thing can be done by others whom
we may be able to get into the country.

character who will settle, it will not be
long before the labor market for all future

CONTEMPT OF MATHEMATICS---T TRUE
DIRECTION OF HAWAIIAN
INTERESTS.
Honolulu, March "a, 1890.

To ignore or crush out of exist
ence the cold laws and solid facts of
mathematics is just what charlatans
and visionary schemers attempt to
do. Such efforts are abont as SEN
sible as Sancho Panza's famed battle
with the wind mill, and are on par
with the efforts of those who assume
TO argue, that it would be for the in
terests of Hawaii to break off treaty
negotiations and commercial rela-
tions with the United States, and
form reciprocal business connec-
tion with the Canadian Dominion.
| The stubborn facts in the way of
this scheme are about as follows:
The Canadian Dominion has a
population of about 100000, and
the centre of that population is
nearly 1000 miles from Honolulu,
by steamer and rail. The United
States has a population of 65,0O0,0OO
and its Pacific coast markets, ample
for all our exports, are little more
than 1000 miles from Hawaii. To
carry the sugar, rice, and bananas OF
Hawaii the extra 5000 miles by rail
to reach the chief Canadian Dom
inion markets would cost from 10 to
20 per cent on the value of Hawaiian
exports, which, in effect, would be
equivalent TO paying duty of 10 or
20 per cent for admission at San
Francisco. This 10 or 20 per cent
saved in transport is usually the
margin between successful business
and business failure. The Pacific
States have population and markets
ample to take all of the products of
Hawaii, while the Pacific population
of the Canadian Dominion is insig-
nifcant--not to be even taken into
account as a market. Thus the
United States has thirteen times the
population of the Canadian Dom
inion, has thirty times the wealth,
while the Canadian Dominion is
loaded with an enormous national
debt.
Full reciprocity and fixed CONNER
eial relations with the United States
put Hawaii on equal terms of busi-
ness with 65.OO0,O0O of people, the
most prosperous in the world. Ha-
waii thus obtains the direct advan-
tage of a vast railroad system of |
10000 miles. nearly equal to the !
railroads of all the other nations of |
the world, and business agencies and |
commercial distributors are develop
ing and enriching the United States
to degree without parallel. Thus
Hawaii can have all the benefits of |
this marvellous network of railroad |
and of its fure immense increase.
With this vast preponderance of
figures and near neighborhood in
favor of the commercial union OF |
Hawaii and the United States, there
are those who put forth the absurd
theory that Hawaii should scoff at
the iron logic of mathematics and go
kiting 1000 miles through the air
after Canadian wind mills A. B.

SUGAR STATISTICS.

One Of the most grievous embar-
rassments to any one who really
wishes 10 inform himself as to the
state Of the sugar industry in this
country. l. the almost total lack of
statistics 1t Is commonly asserted
here, for example. that sugar cannot
Be raised at q profit without cheap
labor: Yet, If anyone endeayOrs to
verify this simple proposition in
stead Of assuming it of hand. he Is
confronted at the outset by the total
absence Of any collected data capable
Of furnishing q basis for q well
grounded conclusion.
Ihrum's Annual publishes yearly
some figures, but nothing, in the
nature Of the case, bearing on any
thing more than g few Of the most
general facts. The Planters Monthly
furnishes occasionally such figures
ss are obtsinsble both as to the in
dustry here aud abroad, but these
figures are necessarily detached and
imperfect and too scant to furnish
basis for more than q guess. In the
meantime the Investigator Il left to
grOpe his way as he can. very much
n the dark
The want, It seems to Us, should
be met, and that as soon as nav be.
The Planters Labor & Supply Co.
used to have q committee on statis-
ties. but We believe nothing of i'm
portsnee was accomplished The
committee. if 1t no longer exists,
should be revived, and go actively to
work The difficulty Of securing
statistics viii not be so great as some
may suppose Many Of the planta-
ti0ns already make very full monthly
reports. and these would furnish a
basis for the labOrs of the committee.
The collection and comparison of
such reports as already exist, would
elicit great deal Of valuable infor-
nation, which at present car not be
anywhere obtained
The work Of such committee
would be first to decide what prin-
ciple Of classification would be most
desirable; second, to induce al the
planters to adopt the same principle,
and finally, to compile yearly the
statistics from the plantation reports
The usefulness of this undertaking
Is incalculable, and everything, e1-
eept the final compilation, which
would involve considerable labor,
would be very easy.
The committee would Of course
communicate with other countries,
ascertain \ hat statistics are available
elsewhere, and endeayor to obtain
everything which effort could pro-
cure

The Hawaiian gazette., 1890-04-01

What We have above mentioned is
4 mere indication of the direction
which useful Legislation in our opin-
ion, ought to take. There are many
other regulations conceived in the
same general spirit which should
prove beneficial. There ought to
be very searching law on the
subject of adulterations, attaching a
penalty to the mere possession and
sale of adulterated liquor, without
requiring proof of knowledge. 1t is
true that laws on the subject are apt
to be a dead letter, but this is not
necessarily the case and is not al
ways.
The establishment of a successful
brewery here, paradoxieal as the
statement may seem to some, would
help the cause of temperance. If
the beer breEed was good, it would
probably drive out imported beer. 1t
would be less alcoholic than any
beer which comes here, purer, and
its comparative cheapness would
tend to make it a substitute for other
Intoxicants, and to displace in some
measure their use 1t is a fact OF
experience that there is the least
drunkenness In those countries
where the consumption Of light
wines or beer Is greatest. Leg1sla-
ton which tends to substitute their
use for the use Of distilled liquors,
takes long step in the right direc-
ton, and strikes a heavy blow at the
evils OF the traffic In these affairs
it is wisdom to be eontented with
what can really be obtained The
neglect Of this maxim Is the cause OF

The legislation which is needed
on the temperance question, should
endeayor, as it seems to US, TO abate
the evils resulting from the exces-
siye use Of distilled liquors. Every
one viii concede that the practice of
drinking whiskey, etc, does the
greatest possible harm and has the
fewest possible friends. The habit
on the other hand Of drinking light
California wines and light beer, does
the least harm and has the greatest
number of friends. Clearly then
the cause Of temperance viii gain il
strength and its prospects Of success
viii grow brighter, if these two
branches Of the matter be separated
from each other, and only the first
be singled out for attack. The rates
Of duty might be changed, so that
distilled liquors and heavy wines
should pay a much higher duty
than they do at present, whereas the
duty on light wines and beer might
be left as they are or still further
reduced Either measures might be
enacted in the same direction. The
tendency Of such legislation would
be to substitute the use Of light in
toxieants for the use Of spirits, while
1t would not increase the total con
sumption. Such a change would
command probably the general ap-
prOyal Of the community, and this
would secure the effective execution
Of the law.
