Horner's Banking BiII-No. II


Mr.. EDITOR: In my last 1 referred to
the Interchangeable bond" recon-
mended by Secretary Window for sup
plying and regulating the currency Of
the country. Almost the same kind OF
an interchangeable bond-as far as il
goes-that we have been advocating for
seventeen years.
have stated above that this bill
doubly provided for the Secretary's in
terchangeable bond" We think the
claim correct, as this bill makes all
government bonds interchangeable. The
Secretary recommends only {" a part in
America, and our present banking law
permits only those bonds held by the
government to be interchangeable at our
bank for money. We believe,-an our
bill thus aims-that a government bond
held by citizen would be just as good a
security for money at the bank as a
government bond held by the govern
ment.
This bill also makes all improved real
estate in both city and country inter-
changeable at this hank for money in
the same way that our government now
borrows of our present bank and de-
posits its bond to secure the repayment
of the money. With this difference, no
sum greater than fifty per cent of the
taxable value of real estate could be
loaned upon it under this bill.
We think the interchangeable bond'
is thus amply provided for securing and
circulating all the currency any nation
may require.
Then, to prevent depreciation, should
money get too plenty, this bill permits
the holder to deposit it at the bank and
receive for it a certificate OF deposit ian
" interchangeable bond ~, drawing an
interest and payable on demand in pub
lie money. The same as deposits are
now made in our present bank, certifi-
Gates given and paid on demand. This,
we think, doubly provides for the " in
terchangeable bond. " There would,
however, be this difference: our present
bank is limited in the amount it can
receive on deposit. Under this bill any
amount could be received from $5 up
wards. If it is right to deposit $4,000, it
should be right to deposit $4,000 or any
other sum; the principle is the same,
the law only prevents.
And these bonds, or interchangeable
property, would not only supply any
amount of currency, but they would pre-
vent depreciation of the currency and
financial business disaster, which we
think otherwise impossible to prevent.
For the money secured and circulated by
means of the aforementioned inter-
changeable property, the Government
receives four cent. per annum interest,
and for the deposit certificate it would
pay three and one half per cent. interest.
This bill would meet ont financial
equality to all holders OF Government
bond, which are not done in the United
States, nor here, at present. AS in the
United States, the national bank owners
are the only pets permitted to use the
Government bond interchangeably at
the treasury for money. Here, our Gov
ernment is the only party permitted to
use Government bonds interchangeably
at the bank for money.
The injustice of such acts to other
bondholders are apparent without argu-
ment. JSo. NJ. HoRNER.

Poisoned PineappIes.

MR.. EDITOR AS a grower OF pine
apples, desire to say that no poison or
acid of any kind has ever been applied
to my pineapples before leaving my pos
session but 1 think it quite possible
that certain shipper" of pineapples
from Honolulu would be quite capable
of applying poison to fruit for the pur-
pose of analysis, judging from other
shady transactions of his.

Those PiueappIes.

Mr.. EDITOR: In reference to the pine
apple industry, would say that for some
time past have been the sole purchaser
of all pineapples grown by Mr.. Kidwell.
1t is therefore very easy matter to con-
clude that l am the dealer referred to in
Mr.. K.'s statement in last evenings Bull
letin. AS legal contest is pending on
this subject, the public will find out in
due time who the chisler" and the
"fruit poisoner" are. In the meantime
a newspaper controversy would not prove
very interesting. 1 feel certain, however,
that proof will be forthcoming to show
that there has been no dishonest dealing
on my part. Yours, etc.,

From Hamakua,

The weather of this district is very
dry, and has been for some time-so
much so that the cane in the lower
fields near the sea is suffering from its
effects. Little seed is being planted at
present.
Some of the planters are planting a
new variety of cane-the Rose Bamboo
which is claimed to be well adapted to
the Islands, especially the higher lands.
1t is considered better than tie Lahaina
cane, but does not furnish as good trash
for fuel.
A coffee plantation has been started
in Hamakua by Messrs. J. NJ. and VIM.
Horner. They have over thirty acres
planted with trees of good varieties.

The " Paradise

Mr.. EDITOR: Better let the ungentle-
manly editor of the Paradise rest We
all know him. Ii the Government money
is being paid out to support paper that
prints the same matter twelve months
out of the year (as the Paradise does,
why l say it is useless expenditure.
Only that and nothing more. &c.
The Hawaiian gazette. [volume] (Honolulu [Oahu, Hawaii]) 1865-1918, 1891-06-23

IT is seldom that a more dry month
has been reported throughout the islands
than the past month OF May, as shown
Dy the statistics printed in another col
lmn. At Waikiki not a drop fell, and
the same probably at Lahaina; while at
Oluwalu, two miles from Lahaina, there
were few drops, sufficient to score a
point or two.

PRELIMINARY HEARING.
James Paul Corbett Is Brought Be-
fore Judge Taylor.
AS Result of the Investigation He Is
Bound Over in the Sum of ST. 900.

Thursday morning at II o'clock James
Paul Corbett was brought out of Jail and
carried before Judge Thomas J. Taylor,
before whom preliminary hearing was
to be held, in which charge of arson
had been preferred against the prisoner.
Our readers will remember the Incl
dents of last Monday night, when the
alarm of fire was sounded and the unOc-
cupied store room on the north side of
the square was found to have an incen-
diary fire in the rear and upon reaching
the ignited pile of inf1ammables, Corbett,
who is stranger to these parts, was
found crouched in a corner. He OF
course was taken into custody and next
day his hearing was set for yesterday at
eleven O'Clock.
Several witnesses were examined who
testified in substance what the MERCURY
contained Tuesday morning last.
The examination resulted in Corbett
being held to appear at the next term of
Circuit Court. His bail was fixed at
81 900, which was not given and the
prisoner was remanded to Jail to await
the action of the next Grand Jury; this
body will also investigate the particulars
of the grave offense he is charged with.
Corbett told the Judge that he did not
remember anything that occurred between
the hour of ten that night up to the time
when the officers were putting him in the
calaboose; that he had drank heavily on
Monday but did not think he was drinking
enough to throw him into an unconscious
stupor.

Eve, we shall see within troops of be-
witching senoritas readily complying with
the invitations Of their debonair escorts
and reveling in elaborately constructed
cakes, caramelos, chocolates and custards.
At midnight of the Noche Buena all
Mexico forsakes its pleasures and repairs
to the Misa del Gallo, or mass of the
cock, high mass of the most imposing
character which, in every one of the
magnificent temples reared by the Cath
olic Church in the City of Mexico, is Gel
ebrated exactly at midnight on Christ
mas eve or morning to commemorate the
Savior's birth.
All the churches have an augmented
choir and large orchestra specially en-
gagged for the occasion. The mass is eel
ebrated with every concomitant that can
heighten its effect and grandeur.
The magnificent old cathedral on the
plaza Mayor displays a complete repre-
sentation of the nativity in wax figures of
life size, con mucha propiedad VERY like
the originaD, and at midnight the signal
for the mass to begin is given by the
growing of real cock; hence its name
of Misa del Gallo, or mass of the cock.

MODERN CHRISTMAS DINNER.

A Menu Containing Many Historical
Dishes Is Here Suggested.
The historical Christmas menu of Eng
lish folklore and tradition, if you wish to
follow that, begins the dinner with "ye
turreene fulle of rich, luscious plum por-
ridges" but if you would meet the de-
mands.of a foreign appetite, change the
plum porridge to a well-seasoned, clear
consomme, as the porridge is too sweet
and rich to begin a dinner with. The
following is suggested not only as a strik-
ing menu, but as one containing many
historical dishes. Heavy it certainly is,
but the traditional dinner has always
been heavy. 1t may be easily adapted
to the average family by garnishing the
fish with parsley and lemon, instead Of
the more costly shrimps, omitting the
sirloin of beef and pies, making the salad
more simple, and serving oranges only
with the lady-apples. The crackers and
cheese, of course, are optional, but the
touch which they add to the most simple
dinner is far greater than their slight
trouble and Insignificant expense.
