Prohibition, Pro and Con.

Prohibition, Pro and Con.
Mr.. EDITOR: l have noticed
with interest the discussion in the
Honolulu papers upon the subject
of prohibition. Constituting my
self judge, I must decide that both
have won their case. One has
proved beyond a doubt that pro-
hibition does not entirely prohibit
the other side has as conclusively
shown that prohibition does mea-
surably prohibit What they have
both proved is just what every re-
fiecting mind believes. No one
claims that prohibitory laws
does utterly prohibit. Yet all
admit that prohibitory laws
check the evils aimed at, whether
they be against murder, theft or
other crimes, or prohibition against
alcoholic drinks.
Proh1bltOry laws against muir
der have been evaded since the
dawn of time, Notwithstanding
their awful penalty. Yet none but
murdere1s wish the law repealed,
or will say it should not have been
enacted.
In these islands we have laws
against murder, yet, almost month
ly, records are made here of this
awful crime.
"Barefooted Bill" said, by his
actions, "prohibition does not pro
hibit," and continued a long time
to make his nightly visits on the
housetops, seeking entrances fol-
plumber, contrary to law his long
evasion of the law has been checked
by it's prohibitory provisions, YET
no one wishes the law repealed be-
cause it is evaded. Preachers
priests and prophets, churches
schools, lawmakers, governments
and other agencies have preached
and worked against sin and crime
for ages, but have never stopped
them neither did they expect to
but they have kept them in check
Had they not done so the new
world would have long since beer
filled with violence" as the ole
world was, and ripe in iniquity-;
fit subject for destruction. For
tunately the greater crimes have
been kept in check by prohibition
and moral suasion. Unfortunately
we now have an evil in the civil
lied world causing more sin, mis-
cry and crime than all other agen
cies, and moral suasion has faileC
to check it, hence the demand 70
a prohibitory law to check it's evi
work. It is a self-evident fact tina
prohibitory laws, while they do no
entirely prevent, do check the evil
aimed at, and thus prevent mucl
misery and crime. Prohibition i
the only practical human powe
] that can check the use of alcohol
beverages that are so evidentl
working against mans well-being
Nothing devoid of every elemen
of both physical and mental goo
should be authorized and protecte
by a civilized government. Henc
license for the sale of intoxicant'
and the legal protection of traffi
> totally devoid of all physical an
mental good should be speedil
stopped or checked by prohibition
and thus check their evil const
quences. JNo. NJ. HoRNER.

The street.Cars.

Our stroet-car lines are so good that we
dislike to be compelled to censure tnem
for any reason. SO we begin this para
graph oy saying that the new regulation is
o good one which requires the cars to stop
only at the further side OF street
crossing 10 receive or discharge passengers.
We have again and again seen the cars
stopped on heavy grade nottwenty yards
from level piece of road. Passengers
stopping the cars at such places do not
pay enough TO compensate the company
for the wear and tear Of machinery. Now
we wish 10 add tina, more cars ought 10 Dc
put upon the electric lines on special occa-
sions. such as Sunday afternoons and sun
day-school gatherings on Church Ill., ana
whenever large assemblages are expec'eu
on that hill whether at one church or an.
other. Last Sunday some gentlemen walked
from Twenty-ninth and p streets to MAN
street rather than submit TO be crowded
by the gangs of negroes who focked TO the
cars that afternoon. As we have said here
tofore. more cars would supersede the ne
cessity for separate cars. Nothing eise
will do IL

Distinctly Democratic.

The New York Tribune says OF the action
of the House of Representatives on Mon
day last on the silver bill:
"Had every Republican member consented 'o
help them In this endeavor and voted with the
dodgers and the anti-silver Democrats Tor post
pouement there would yet have been large
majority against delay and in favor OF the rule,
ana still larger majority In favor oil the Dill
itself.
"The free-slver bill goes into the House and
will go through the House, therefore, as ais
tinctively Democratic measure"
The Rocky Mountain States, though he
publican. will not concur in the opinion
that the free-silver bill is "a distinctively
Democratic measure" Our New York
contemporary is under the shadow OF Wall
street. Let the people have their own way
in this matter. Free coinage Is not neal
at hand only because the Democrats have
not control of both houses of Congress
nor Of the executive pen.

what would be Tar worse. We would almost
surely distract the attention OF voters
from matters and men TO which they
should give their undivided attention.
After tho municipal primary Il over
there viii be time enough for the city
committee 10 formulate plan as TO how
and when tho Democrats Of Richmond
should como together and choose their
representatives In the State convention.
Whether the committee votes in favor OF
primary or ward or precinct-meetings
we shall DO satisfied. Public interest IN
the presidential contest has been aroused
to such pitch that il is not likely that
such elections will 90 by default.

The proposed treaty between the United
States and Great Britain with reference TO
the Bering Sea dispute was made public
yesterday, but whether it will be ap-
proved by the Senate does not yet appear.
There is certainly considerable opposi-
ton to it. and all of this will not cease un.
til some arrangement is made to prevent
the Canadians from catching the seals
while the arbitrators are hearing argu.
ment and making up their minds as &c
which country the seal fisheries in ques
ton belong.

The papers generally approve of the
verdict rendered in the BAKER trial. and
consequently concede that the Common
wealth failed to make out its case.
They are not. however. so enthusiastic
over the liberation of the Doctor as many
of the spectators were when the finding OF
the jury was announced.
1t is not likely that the Doctor will be
able to do much family practice hereafter,
or that he will be suffered to resume his
high place in the Church. As we intimated
Yesterday. in view Of admitted facts, both
he and Mrs. GILMER will have plenty to do
quoting their consciences.

Secretary FOSTER seems to be travelling
through Europe arm in arm with a news
paper interviewer, who talks with him on
all sorts of subjects and forthwith pro-
ceeds to cable his reports TO the United
States. Thus CHARLIE keeps himself con-
stantly before the public, and withal he
seems very amiable and self-satisfed.

Richmond and tho state Conventio

Richmond and tho state convention
The City Democratic Committee made
no mistake night before last in laying on
the table, by vote of II to ~, PROPOSE
tion to invite the people to vote for dele
gate 70 represent Richmond In the Chicago
convention ct the party primary to be held
on the 5th Of April.
The plan which the committee thus
acted on is unprecedented. 1t would ex-
clude ell minority representation in Rich
mond. II would allow the voters (and not
necessarily majority of them to name
one man who would appoint all of our city
representatives in the State convention; re.
preseptaiiyes who would not simply eject
delegates to Chicago for this district and
the State at large. but who would vote for
electors on the presidential ticket and
members OF the State committee and State
canvassers. and who would also assist in
framing platform for our party in Viz
einia, and in transacting whatever other
business might be proposed in the State
convention. This is too much power for
any one man to have. 1t would be new
departure in Democratic politics in this
State, and we believe that II will never re-
ceiye the endorsement of the Demo.
cratic Committee Of Richmond.
II viii be time enough TO act upon this
question after tho State convention has
been called and the basis of representa-
tion has been determined. but we take il
that the committee will never consent 10
complicate municipal politics with presi.
Dental politics.
TO do 80 would be to make C serious
blundr. 1t would be TO promote the
prospects, OF some Of the candidates who
sre now Offering for place and TO injurs
Others. Already there has been an in.
fusion of national politics into our Local
politics and possibly some harm has been
done, but the thing should 20 no farther.
We see il stated In substance that the
decision arrived at by the city COMMITTEES
Yves the result of an alignment Of Hill
and CLEVELAND men, though 1t Is known
that at least one HILL man voted with thu
minority.
This IS conceding great strength to thu
HUI men. but we prefer 70 believe tina
the question was settled upon Its merits
and that tho members who voted TO Ia,
the proposition on the table. a. well a
those who voted against IL, were actuatet
