Prof. David P. Todd, of Amherst
College, will describe in the Au-
gust Century an ascent of Fujisan,
the sacred mountain of Japan.
His expedition was one of several
which have been made possible ty
the bequest of wealthy and &c
centric Boston gentleman, who
left fortune of 100000 to a
Board of Trustees, with discretion
airy power to employ it in estab-
fishing and maintaining an astro-
nomical observatory on some
mountain peak. The fund is now
managed by the Harvard College
Observatory, and experimental re-
search has been conducted at high
attitudes in different parts of the
the globe in order to show the pre-
else nature of the improved condi-
tons of vision, and to ascertain
the best location for the mountain
observatory.
The Trustees of Harvard might
do we'll to send an astronomer to
these islands, where Mt. Haleakala
on Maui, 10000 feet high, offers
one of the best sites in the world
for the above purpose.

Let the reformers of Hawaii be
wiser.
1t is probably too late for the
present Legislature to introduce
any comprehensive plan for deal
ing with the liquor traffic. No
plan should be adopted which does
not do justice to vested interests,
and in matter of such conse-
quence, not to act at all is better
than to act in haste If the Legis-
lature cannot, however, do any
thing radical at present, it can ap-
point a commission to report to the
Legislature of 1894, and such a
course would be eminently ad-
visable.

IT Is with pleasure that we chron-
icle this morning the establishment
of Fruit Company, which has
just filed articles Of incorporation.
1t is to be hoped that the heavy
duty now levied by the United
States on fruit products will be soon
removed. The enterprising pro-
meters are to be commended, how
ever, for not waiting for that event.
There is a great future before the
infant fruit industry of Hawaii,
and this new company will doubt
less be the precursor of many others.

THE GOTHENBURG SYSTEM AND THE
= LIQUOR TRAFFIC.

Saturdays issue of the ADvER-
TIsER contained an account of the
so-called Gothenburg system of
selling liquor, which, with some
notifications is prevalent in Nor
way and Sweden. Now that legis-
lation is pending in this matter in
Hawaii, the consideration of a plan
from which so much good is claimed
becomes timely. The essential
feature of the Gothenburg system
seems to be the appropriation by
the local government of all profits
in excess of 5 per cent, coupled
with full municipal control as to
the number of licenses, location of
saloons, and generally as to the con-
ditions of sale. It is claimed that
this plan has greatly decreased
drunkenness, while it has given the
State handsome revenue, devoted
to various benevolent and chart
table uses.
Two years ago a correspondent
of the ADVERTISER proposed that
the State assume sole control over
the importation and sale of all
kinds of intoxicants, with a view
to minimize it's evils and at the
same time produce large fund
which it was proposed to devote,
not to the general expenses of the
Government, but first of all to the
alienation of the miseries caused
by the traffic, and then to various
public improvements.
The practically unregulated con-
dition of the liquor traffic in Eng
land and the United States, is un-
doubtedly one of the greatest
abuses of the age, and it is no
wonder that prohibitionists are so
numerous in the latter country.
The State assumes the right to
regulate matters of far less conse-
quence than this, without the
propriety of such interference be-
ing disputed from any quarter
Private individuals are not allowed
to carry secret weapons in the
streets of a crowded city. They
are not permitted to store kero.
sene oil or giant powder in their
houses. If the sale of drugs or the
practice of medicine were left
unregulated, it would be consid
cred a scandal. If it is good
thing for the State to control the
Post Office, the telegraph, or the
railway, why may it not be proper
to impose rules suggested by the
public interest upon traffic hav
ing consequences which ramify il
a thousand directions, land which af
feet the health, the morals, and thu
financial prosperity of millions
Practical reformers should cease
to follow the chimera of prohibi
ton, and direct their efforts towards
regulation, not suppression. l
the time, thought, money and yea
which have been spent for prohi
bition had been given to the study
and elaboration Of some scientific
plan of State control, a reform
for which the wolrd still waits
might have been already achieved
In this, as in so many othel
matters, the Impotence of re
formers-unwilling to grind thei
corn in the slow mills of the gods
has overleaped itself, and checked

The islands stand in the same

have since they first pre-
empted this part of the Pacific

the promoters of the measure
are successful. Scan all the
schemes in operation or in
embryo and you will find no
more likely cause for the in
creased business than the fact
that the bill removing the ten
cent tax on playing cards has
passed a second reading and
will probably go through with
a rush on the third. It's not
