DOES MIGHT MAKE RIGHT?


Mr.. Davies came here two years
ago and the existent combination
of circumstances enabled him to
apparently assist in overthrowing
the then proposed treaty, certainly
he gave certain persons then in
power great moral support in the
course which led to our present
impecuniosity. He now comes
again and endeayors to break up
an evident tendency to a renewal
of negotiations for such treaty,
by frightening us with the war
cry which lately appeared in both
our dailies.
1t will doubtless be answered to
my argument, that in case of war
a great power would not stand on
the order of her going, but would
attack Pearl Harbor, in violation
of the rights of neutrality.
We are not very safe in time of
war without a friendly naval sta
ton at Pearl Harbor, but that is
not the immediate question before
us. 1t should be a sufficient an
swer to point out that respect for
the law of nations is everywhere
increasing just as every fisticutf
on our streets is followed by a re-
sort to law and the courts, so al
most every recent war has been

ALLIES.

On general principles there can
be no doubt that q concession
made in times of peace is very
different from one made during
war, and that a case Of the former
would not be considered a breach
of neutrality, particularly in our
case, if the general right of asylum
were extended.
If the concession amounted to
an alliance this would be very diff
ferent. We are not now nor would
be allies of the United States I'M
der this treaty.
The coal and supplies of the
States in Pearl Harbor would be
safe, by right, as their consulate
and records in Honolulu.

the writing implement of man since the

instrument by which the hand can trace
characters. This is one OF the reasons
why this machine has achieved such
popularity.
The pen or stylus glides easily
over the prepared stencil paper
with Just enough friction to make
writing identical to that done with
a hard lead pencil.
1t is used by jobber5 sending out price
lists; retail stores use it sending circulars
direct to their customers secretaries, in
printing notices OF meeting, programmes,
ETC.; hotels, printing bills OF fare and
printing bill and letter heads;
musics, sketching, maps in colors,

The Wine aud Beer Bill.

Mr.. EDITOR: In your report of
the legislative proceedings of Nov
ember 18th, Noble Marsden is re-
ported to have said $4,000 gal
Ions of spirits were withdrawn
from the Custom House last
year." That is a mistake, as the
report of the Collector-General of
Customs shows that only little
over $4,000 gallons were withdrawn
for consumption last year (1S91).
Noble Marsden then claimed that
not one quarter of the spirits was
drunk in Honolulu, and then as
serted that the remainder was sold
in the outer districts. He gave no
proof, and can give none, for the
statement is absurd.
From 1882 to 1891, inclusive,
there were $500 convictions for
drunkenness in the whole king
dom; of that total, Chief Justice
Judd's reports show that 1897
were in the Honolulu Police Court.
Mr.. Marsden wants US to believe
that while Honolulu supplies over
70 per cent. of the convictions for
drunkenness that she only con-
sumes less than a fourth of the
spirits No one denies that there
is considerable illicit selling and
distilling in the outer districts but
Noble Marsden need not paint it
so inky black unless indeed he
wishes, as seems probable, to get
a shade of black sufficiently deep
to contrast with his pet wine and
beer bill. He proposes to wean
the natives from the use of gin,
''okolehao," ETC., by filling them
up with wine and beer The ques
ton is will they fill? Here in
Honolulu the natives have their
choice between wine and beer as
against spirits. What is'the result?
In seven cases out often they choose
the very lowest, vilest grades of
spirits, instead of wine and beer.
Noble Marsden said, in the Legis-
lature, that the people of the outer
districts now buy the vilest kinds
of spirits. Honolulu gives ample
proof that they will continue to
buy strong, pungent spirits or mix
lures even if you stuck wine and
beer shop beside each cattle trough
in the Kingdom. Why do we have
the illicit selling of spirits? Be
cause there is money in the sale of
spirits, while there is little or nc
profit in the sale of wines and
beer. Noble Marsden wonld have
us believe that men are going to
sell wine and beer, on which there
is very little profit, and strictly
avoid the sale of spirits, upor
which there is a large profit!
The men who usually engage II
the LIQUOR business do it for money
money only, and if there be littl
profit in the sale of wine and beer
and a large profit in the sale o
spirits and their authorizations
then ninety-nine out of hundred
of the proprietors of the wine am
beer shops will find a way to sci
snirits. Never mind how strict tn
provisions of law may be, it be
za6mes a farce unless it be enforced
Our present liquor laws are yer
strict; they. are not enforced
neither will this new one be. IN

forerunner of the spirit license.
