The English-speaking foreigners
furnished about 81 per cent, and
the native Hawaiians about 81 per
cent. of all the convictions for
drunkenness. According to the
census, the native Hawaiians are
decreasing at the rate of over 500
per year. The chief cause of that
decrease is the liquor traffic. A
large part of the money earned by
the Hawaiian laborers on the
wharves. the shipping, and in
many of the large firms in Homo
lulu is regularly spent for drink.
Instead of spending their wages
in buying food and clothing for
those at home, the money goes into
the saloon till to swell the large
profits made out of the business,
while our streets are filled with an
ever-increasing number of half-fed
and half-clad Hawaiian children.
If the people of this kingdom are
not yet prepared to do away with
the liquor traffic, at least let our
Government put the liquor business
under a system which will take the
larger part of the profits and use
them in lessening the misery caus-
ed by the business, and not leave
it as it is now, viz, the liquor men
get the profits, and the rest of the
community pay for the greater part
of the loss.
Anyone who has doubts on these
points has but to walk around the
saloon district on a Saturday even
ing and see the almost continuous
stream of men, old and young,
going into the saloons, passing
their money over the counter for
drink, and often coming out so
drunk that they have to be either
taken to the Police Station or al
most carried home by their less
drunken companions. Any native
Hawaiian in the Legislature who
votes for any bill which would in
crease the means for selling liquor,
votes for the destruction of his own
race votes in favor of that which
is doing more than anything else
I'm degrade the young men and
omen of Hawaii.

Mr.. Holden's Lecture.

Jos. W. Holden's lecture to prove that
the earth is not round, entertained a
large audience last evening at the Gospel
Mission Hall. He claimed that Sir Isaac
Newton was wrong in his theory of grav-
itation. Anyway" said Mr.. Holden,
che died of starvation, thus showing
that the people of that period had no
faith in him. All of them fellers who
write these books on astronomy tell
false things. They believe they can esti-
mate the weight of the earth, but how
are they going to do it? Where are they
going to rest the scales to weigh it on?"
The speaker then claimed that the
Eastern Argus had been ridiculing him.
eff the editor of the Argus wants to
discuss this astronomical subject with
me-" said the speaker, 'let him name
his date and hall, and am ready to meet
him at any time.''

ARRIVAL OF THE OREGON.
Five cattlemen Arrested but subsequently
Released.

Steamer Oregon, Captain Gibson, OF
the Dominion line, arrived from Liver
pool via Halifax yesterday morning. She
brought 2o2 passengers and 1900 tons OF
freight. which included large quantity
Of tin plate. She had a very pleasant
passage.
James Hanney, Patrick Mcnamara,
Patrick Flanagan of Montreal, Thomas
Moriarty of Fall River, and Martin Duffy
of Boston, went over to Europe in charge
of some cattle in a Dominion line ship
and returned on the Oregon. On the
passage it was charged by steerage pas
sengers that these men stole number OF
articles from them, including a razor, a
pair of boots, purse containing railway
tickets, a scarf, a jar Of jam, two blank
cts, three straw beds, and purse con-
tanning papers. When the ship reached
her dock the captain notified the police
and Deputy McCallum, with posse Of
officers, arrested the cattlemen and took
them to the station. The British consu
was notified. Our officers could not hold
the men as the offence was committed
on the high seas in a British ship. So
they were discharged in the afternoon.
It is thought the goods, if stolen by these
men, were sent in valise from Halifax
when the ship touched there, to Mon
treal.

4 m,oyement that deserves all encou,

A movement that deserves all encour-
egement and commentator is on foot
for improvement in the matter of baling
and preparing wool feeces for market.
Prizes have been offered by the The
Wool and Cotton Reporter for the best
packing. In reference to this subject
The Breeders Gazette says: "There is
certainly great deal of slovenly work
done at our shearing barns, and in some
instances there may be dishonesty as
well. But manufacturers can have
wool prepared exactly to their liking by
paying for the extra work required and
making proper allowance for the neces-
sary shrinkage in gross weight"
