Bill No. %.

MIR. EDITOR: Dill NO. 90 HOW
before the Legislature aims to have
the Government work done ct
home by stipulating that whenever
a foreign firm lin competition
with home contradictory obtains a
contract, it must spend 40 per
cent. of the contract price in en-
ploying workmen in the Hawaiian
Kingdom. A second condition
sought to be created by the
bill is, that whenever the
lowest home bid is not more
than Is per cent. in excess
of the foreign bid then the lowest
home bidder is to be given the
contract.
The first proposition would
freeze out foreign competition in
nine cases out of ten, and if for
eign firm were to comply with the
conditions it would probably i'm
port its own workmen to do So.
The second proposition amounts to
duty Of % per cent. on all i'm
ports that would come within the
intent of the bill, after deducting
7 per cent. from the contract price
for freight, exchange, etc.
In matters of this kind the Gov
eminent is simply assumed to be
4 large corporation, and the same
rules Of business should apply to
it's undertakings as would obtain
in similar private ventures. The
whole argument in favor of the
bill being that it would insure oul
local mechanics more work in such
lines as the Government requires
Let us examine how the same pro.
cess applied to general merchan
dising would pan out. Take the
leather industry for instance.
Think Of the thousands Of hides
that are exported yearly and which
| am reliably informed, could al
be tanned here if the home produc
were protected and tanning ma
terial made free Of duty. The fac
of the matter is that Hawaii hal
produced as fine leather as eve
comes to this market, but the in
dustry languished because we were
running to sugar.
We imported $1S0,000 worth o
manufactured harness into this
country in the biennial period o
1888 to 1890, and the total HON,
manufactures, it is safe to say, die
not amount to more than one-fourtl
of that amount, although, qualit.
alike, the home article is cheape
every time.
One ridiculous feature in thi
connection is the duty on harnes
trimmings when imported for HON
use, while they are allowed to com
in duty free in the manufacture
harness. A duty Of 25 per cent. o.
manufactured harness would in 81:
months time add twenty bencl
hands to our local maiers even il
these dull times. An idea of tn
competition to which this line c
business is subjected by reason c
free imports can be cleaned fror
the following: a plantation, bein
in need of mule harness, requisite
local manufacturer to make
sample and name figure at whic
he would supply two hundred set
He did so, and then the sampl
was sent to a Frisco firm, who OF
tanned the contract at a price jus
81 per cent. below the Honolul
makers figure. The presen
rating Of 10 per cent. on shee
metals and, goods manufac
tured from the same, is
boomerang to our local industrie
in this line, az the want of duty
to our harness-makers. Wer

THE TRANSPORT OF AMMONIA.
It Is Often Carried on the Upper Decks
 Of Steamships to Keep It Cool.

A 's Viteh Carried on the Upper Decks
 or Steamships to Keep It Cool.
 Ammonia has been carried in con siderable quantities on the upper decks of steamships, but in many vessels the bottles, carboys, or tins are slowed in the between decks. In fact, they are some times slowed in vacant cabins of cargo vessels. The explosion of one of these receptacles awakened attention to the placing of such substances dangerously near heat. The master of the vessel on whose ship the explosion happened un- screwed the tops of all those undamaged. and thus allowed the gas to blow off.
 Restrictions on carriage of dangerous goods were imposed under the merchant shipping act, 1873, section 23 of which provides that if any person sends or att tempts to send by, or, not being the mas ter or owner of the vessel, carries or at- tempts to carry in any vessel, British or foreign, any dangerous goods, such as aquafortis, vitriol, naphtha, gunpowder, lucifer matches, nitroglycerin, petro- leum, or any other goods of dangerous nature, without distinctly marking their nature on the outside of the packages containing the same, and also giving written notice of the nature of such goods and the name and address of the sender, he shall be liable to a penalty not exceeding e100 but if the person sending the goods on board is merely an agent and ignorant of its contents, the penalty is not to exceed ten pounds.
 False description makes the sender liable to penalty of G500. The master or owner of a ship may refuse to take on board vessel any suspicious package, and may require it to be opened to ascer- tain its contents Clause % in the act has always been looked upon as mis- take in legislation. The master of a ship is empowered to throw overheard goods of dangerous nature which have been sent without being marked or noti- fled of their true character, and neither the master nor the owner of the vessel shall be subject to any liability for such casting into the sea, civil or criminal, in any court.
 There is no reason for denouncing the carriage of ammonia by sea, but it is of the greatest importance that each special compound should be accurately defined, and that it ought not to be exposed to heat. If everything that expanded on submission to heat were interdicted, the shipping trade would be sadly ham, pered. For example--yeast is shipped for conveyance, and is usually carried on deck. In hot weather the casks have been broken and hoops burst from ex- posture to the sun, although no material damage is done. We could name other breakages, but enough has been urged to bring home the necessity for under standing what to carry and where to stow it.-Chemical Trade Journal

Danger in Physical Culture.

Danger in Physical Culture.
 It is beginning to be understood that physical culture should be undertaken inteligently and with moderation. A London girl went home from her first lesson, which was violent one, and dis covered a strange condition of her neck little at one side of the throat-a mot tied appearance, with settled blood be- heath. The physician to whom she ap- piled said there was no remedy; some little blood vessels had given way under the severe and unaccustomed exercise, and her naturally thin skin revealed the mishap more than would perhaps hap pen in another case.
 The injuries are not so frequent to young girls, with supple joints and easily moved muscles and tendons, but middle aged women should begin very carefully. Many such, to rid themselves of an un' becoming tendency to corpulence, take to extraordinary acrobatic feats not un attended with real danger to persons un accustomed to violent exercise. Point of View in New York Times.
