THAT QUARANTINE FARCE.

The facts in the quarantine case
do not admit of any explanation
which frees the authorities from
blame. The situation lies in a
nutshell. A ship arrives, thirteen
days from an infected port. Is
she, or is she not in quarantine?
If she is, no one should be allowed
to go on board except the neces-
sary officers. If she is not, the
custom house officers who do go
aboard should not be deprived of
their liberty. Finally, whether
she is in quarantine or not
there should be one rule for all. In
this case, the Customs officers were
permitted to visit the vessel and go
ashore, and then were detained.
This is blunder number 1. The
Pilot and Harbor Master were not
detained until one day later
blunder number 2. Others who
had visited the ship were not de-
tanned at all-blunder number 3.
Now, why is it, that the rules of
the Board of Health are unknown
to its own officers? Here is the
perfectly simple case of vessel
thirteen lays from an infected
port. The Board, one hopes,
knows whether this is a case for
quarantine or not. Every such case
should be governed by clear and
definite rules, which should be as
familiar to every member of the
Board as the letters of his own
name. If those rules were definitely
fixed and known, no such ridicu.
lous complications as have arisen
would be for one moment possible

RELIEF FOR HARD TIMES.

The "hard times" now prevalent
in Honolulu and the outlying dis
triets are primarily due to the
revolution in the sugar business
caused by the change in the United
States tariff, but the evils are ex-
aggerated by a condition of things
existing here which is capable of
some degree of amelioration. This
exaggeration is largely caused by
the system of quarterly credits
which is general in all branches of
business.
A long era of prosperity has had
the effect of making our people
careless in their expenditures. Not
having to pay cash or to settle
every week or month, consumers
are apt to be incautious in their
purchases, and to buy many things
which they could do without, and
would do without if forced to
prompt settlement of their bills.
A good time to correct an evil of
this nature is when the stringency
in the money market makes itself
felt by the whole community, and
now is thought to be an occasion
of that kind.
1t is believed that the "hard
tines in Honolulu may be greatly
relieved in simple and perfectly
safe manner, and a condition OF
things established which will make
the Teiief permanent.

Tor as it is said refusing to do
business in Honolulu would come
to an agreement to work in har-
mony for the relief of the public,
they could with perfect safety sup
ply the money needed to establish
new business method which
would benefit the banker, the seller,
and the purchaser.
1t is proposed that they lend
upon good collaterals Excluding
sugar stocks) to merchants who
are in want, upon an agreement by
the borrowers that they will at
once stop the quarterly credit sys-
tenn, and sell for cash only, to all
purchasers, except as follows:
1. To other dealers on monthly
account.
2. To persons receiving monthly
payments or who pay their bills
monthly on monthly account.
3. To persons receiving weekly
payments on weekly account.
And in case any monthly ac-
count is unpaid for ten days after
it becomes due, or any weekly
account is unpaid for four days
after it becomes due, refuse abso-
lutely all credit until all indebted
ness is paid.
1t is generally believed that
nearly all of our business houses
have more or less difficulty in
meeting their obligations, not only
abroad, but to large extent among
other business houses in our COM
munity. A considerable portion of
the money loaned as suggested
would be used for squaring up open
accounts in town, and each thou
sand dollars would, by passing
from hand to hand, cancel many
thousands of internal indebtedness,
and at the close of business hours
each day it would, after having
performed its benevolent function,
find its way back to the bank,
where it would appear on the credit
side of the last receivers account
and the next day it would again
perform it's rounds, coming home
to the banks vaults to roost.
A time like the present is one il
which the banks, which have made
their money out of the prosperous
condition of our people, should
cheerfully cooperate in any mea
sure which would in any degree re-
duce the suffering, if they could dc
it without mourning the risk of loss
And it is not proposed that they
shall make any loan except upor
such security as will make repay
ment certainty.
If a system Of this kind shall b.
inaugurated it will probably cause
great friction for month or two
and it might be best to place The
date of its application ahead fol
thirty or sixty days, advertising i
thoroughly in the mean time. Al
who adopt the system will be able
to undersell at a profit such as may
at first decline to do so, as the ele
ment of uncertainty as to time o
payment, and a large portion o
the loss from bad debts, will b.
eliminated.
There would be very few wh'
would not accept the arrangement
as the banks should refuse to loal
to any who would not.
1t will probably be a surprise t
the banks and to the people to finC
that a comparatively small amour
of money loaned in this way viii
by the extent of it's circulation
afford a general relief to business

TO HE TRIED.

TO H E TH ED.
 A good start was made last evening in the proceedings against the Big Four. The monster petition was put before the Board of Aldermen, charges were made in due form against each member of the Big Four, and the aldermen voted to consider the matter in open board next Tuesday evening.
 So far, so good. The offending ones are to be brought before the proper tribunal, and there will be full hearing. The pro- ceedings will be followed with deep and lasting interest by thousands of the citi- zens of New Haven. The Big Four did not have respect enough for public opin- ion to give any reason for it's obnoxious action It will doubtless be ready enough now to make whatever explanation it can.
 An attempt was made by one member of the Board of Aldermen to belittle and dis credit the petition. This is poor policy for the friends of the Big Four. It is alto gether probable that some errors can be discovered in it. What if there are a hundred? There is no getting away from the fact that it has been signed by many of the heaviest taxpayers of the city. by thousands of citizens of both parties and all professions and business occupations. A more general and spontaneous move ment of the kind has never been seen in New Haven. It will do no good to at tempt to misrepresent it.

and the steward came in as deferential ss before, but behind him, keeping step to- gether, strode six stalwart sailors, any two of whom could have taken Bounce and done what they pleased with him, big as he was. The sailors, with imperturbable faces, ranged themselves behind the chair of the man from California.
 The steward, in exactly the same tone of voice as he had addressed Joseph Bounce before, said:
 "The purser would like to see you, sir, for few moments"
 There was dead silence in the smoking room, and the bravest held his breath for a time. Bounce looked over his shoulder for moment at the motionless men and then at the steward. His face was flushed with liquor, but he was not so drunk that he did not realize the situation. There was a short pause; then Bounce said in 6 more sober voice:
 "Al right; I'll go with you"
 He went, with the six men marching quietly behind him. What transpired at the interview no one knew, but it soon be- came known that Bounce's supply of h- quor had been cut of and that he was practically under arrest during the rest of the voyage.
 Mir. Joseph Bounce had felt the touch of the hand of steel.

PUBLIC COAL YARDS.

An interesting sign of the times is a petition, signed by thousands of citizens of Massachusetts, asking the legislature to permit cities and towns to establish coal yards from which the public, and especially the poorer classes, may be sup piled with fuel at cost. This petition, say
 the signers, is for the purpose of giving the entire community the benefit of wholesale rates on coal and wood. The city fuel yards being stocked for the season at lowest summer prices, and sell ing at cost, would be able to maintain uniform price during the winter, protect ing the public from fluctuations owing to severity of weather or clogged transporta- tion. The saving to consumers, which
 would be large for all classes of buyers,
 would be greater approximately for the poor who buy in small quantities. The public fuel yards would never give under
 weight.
 It is not probable that this request will
 be granted this year. It is boldly social
 istic. The petitioners say nothing of rec ompensing the coal dealers who would be driven from the field by municipal com petition. And further, as the committee
 on taxation, appointed by the Boston As sociated Board of Trade to report on the merits of this petition, declare, there is a speculative phase to the proposition which should not be overlooked. The petitioners innocently ask that the proposed munici- pal coal yards purchase fuel at "lowest summer prices," but who is to say that these will always be lower than the lowest prices in winter9 It sometimes happens that the cost of coal is less in winter than at any other time, and if this should be the case after municipal coal yard had been stocked in midsummer, we might be treated to the novel sight of an individual dealer underselling the city it. l self to. the great injury of the municipal
 industry. 'Tn self-defense," says the con-
 mittee, ''the petitioners would have to admit
 that the city would be compelled to reduce | it's price and that the citizens would have | to be taxed to make up this deficit. In other words, all the people would have to
 be taxed for possible benefit to a few" | And as one of the practical difficulties in
 the way it is mentioned that public coal
 yard to supply Boston would occupy an 1 area three times as large as the Common.
