The Opium Bill.

Mr.. EDITOR: Another evil meas
ure is to be considered by the Legis-
lature of this Kingdom, almost be-
fore the echoes from the contest over
the last have died away. Although
not citizen of this country, my love
for humanity, my desire to see all
free and just governments prosper
ing, and my attachment to this peo-
pie, impel me to ask space for few
words in regard to the proposed
Opium bill.
For the sake of revenue England
began to cultivate the poppy in
India, then for the sake of market
forced opium on the Chinese against
the earnest and determined opposi-
ton of that government. The next
step was to grant licenses in India
on the plea that illicit sales were
going on. Then Burmah, Ceylor
and the Straits Settlements were in
cluded, so that In all England's
Asiatic possessions, from Cashmere
to Singapore as we'll as in China the
opium habit has become fixed upor
the people, has ruined the health
and the fortunes of hundreds OF
thousands, and kills thousands annu
ally. / have seen Chinese womer
completely crazed, emaciated to skel
etons by opium, begging for enough
to kill them at once and put then
out of their misery, and equally
heart-rending sights in India.
Beside the great annual slaughter
it is we'll known fact that very few
if any children are born in familie:
cursed by the opium habit. Retribu
ton is already coming upon th,
English in India by the murder o
their own children by Hindoo nurses
Generally no doubt, they only intenC
TO keep the child quiet, and have NJ
knowledge OF the terrible result
that follow in dwarfibg mind an,

have put themselves on record
against this curse.
But England's action in the past
with regard to opium in Asia will
stand as long as history endures as
one of the three great stains upon her
fair fame in regard to weak and sub
ject peoples in the East.
When in India more than one high
caste Hindoo asked me seriously, in
as good English as 1 can command,
if England was not introducing
opium and drink into India to cut
off their people in q quiet way, and
get possession of the land for their
own people.
If this measure passes, what will
be the result in Hawaii nei? The
amount of opium sold will be greatly
increased. Experience everywhere
shows this. Those who pay high
license for the privilege of selling,
shave got to get the money back" "
therefore, they will spread tempta-
ton in every direction, just as they
do now in India.
Surprising the sale is allowed to
Chinese only. Is it not as great sin
| in the sight of God to debauch and
destroy the Chinese for money as any
other people? But it will be found
| impossible to allow the sale to
one nationality and to keep it
from others. The English in
Natal, forbid the sale of intoxicants
| to Africans, but allow it to Hlndoos,
who are there in considerable num-
bers. The Hindoo does not wish to
buy for himself, but with few
farthings he steps into the shop, buys
the drink and hands it over to the
African standing at the door of the
shop, or of the Hindoo's cabin. The
Hawaiians, a less self controlled,
more impulsive race than the Afri-
cans, will be the victims.
If China and India, with their
hundreds of millions of people.
mourn the havoc wrought by opium.
can the Hawaiian Government afford
to add this to the already existing
causes of depopulation in these isl
ands?
Licensing an evil to prevent illicit
evil has never yet stopped evil OF
lessened it anywhere. Any Govern
ment that can prevent illicit evi
where license exists can, if it will
prevent it under protection. Ii i
cannot prevent it under protec
ton, then it cannot under license
1t stands to reason that the I'm
licensed smuggler of opium can sci
cheaper than the man who has paie
both duty and license ; and people
will buy where they can buy cheap
est. The best way of increasing thu
revenue by opium is to put on etf
cient customs officers, and by fine
and confscations and sales to drug
gists here and In the United States
get the only justifable gain to gov
eminent.
But should the proposed bill be
come a law, should it work as etfec
tually as its supporters claim that
will, can citizens of this Christian
land-can Christian Legislature,
Christian sovereign-put themselve
on record at the end of the nine
teenth century as adopting and SUP
J porting an evil that has already re
: ceived unqualified eondemnatio
from all good men and women VIII
have seen its operations ? Can the
expect the continued blessing of Go
upon a land that sets the broad SEE
of its approval upon SO wicked
thing

Mr.. EDITOR: The spread of in
furious insect pests in the past few
years in these islands and the
ravages of the same, caused me to
make series of experiments on
citrus and deciduous trees and

thoroughly tested, and when care is
taken in their preparation, they
will give entire satisfaction

FALSE ECONOMY.


Iiuylng Worthless Goods because They
are Chrnp.
One Of the most painful and at the
same time absurd cXhibitionS of false
economy may br seen in the crowds at
the bargain counters at the ordinary
shops. There seems to b. an iurrAlic-
able idea in the minds Of some women,
that at certain times and sen sons Of the
year merchants are willing to give away
their goods with practically no profit,
1t is u common trick in the inferior
shops to smoke mp and soil a few goods,
advertise Il ''burnt goods sale mark
these goods at the REGULAR price, and
thus they often attract large crowd
of buyers, who remain perfectly OBJ. iy'
ions to the fact that the goods are be-
inr sold to them at tho regular market
price without the slightest reduction
because it Is n burnt goods sale. AZ
most every shop nowadays cuts of
I goods as remnants and marks them as
the regular price in order to attract tho
| inevitable remnant hunter, The sue
! cess of the various ntnetv-ninc-ccnt
| stores Is but another illustration of the
| frailty of woman nature in this matter
| It is no cyaggcration 10 say that many
good woman has spent five cents ir
car fare in order to save this one cent
ON the dollar Forty-nine cents seems
so much less than fifty, nincty-ninC
cents infinitely less than a dollar, snt
| small merchants have readily taken adj
vantage Of this curious weakness, The
gift-pacixages which come with tea nnt
| coffee are another Illustration of thi'
universal desire of the shopper to ge
something for nothing, No sensible
woman who reflects over the grea
amount of money made by such con
Germs can believe that anything Il
given away, An inferior quality of tei
