CORRESPONDENCE.

HONOLULU, Oahu, Oct. 20, 1898.
10 the Editor Of the BGnner.-DEAR
SR:-ln your issue of September 20,
1893, is an article on the subject of tenn
perance, or it should more appropriately
be termed prohibition, from the pen of
Mrs. E. b. Stafford, wherein is a SEN
tence which reads thus: Vermont has
4SS licensed saloons, paying revenue to
the United States" Now then, Yer
mont being prohibition State, how is
1t that 4SS saloons are allowed full
swing to debauch the innocent with
strong drink? Does it not show that
prohibition is a mistake? Temperance
is everything that is good; but prohibit
ton has too often been demonstrated as
an article much used blythe willy politi-
ton, to gain certain ends.
BY publishing the above in your yau-
able paper, you will confer a great favor
upon your humble servant in darkness.
who Graves for more light on the sub
Ject. Respectfully yours,
a BENNINGTON Boy,
of Ye Olden Time.
The above letter has been mislaid for
several weeks We think the women
are little Off in their use of terms.
The United States does not license sa-
looms, either in Vermont or elsewhere,
what it does is to tax tobacco and alco-
holic liquors. 1t is tax receipt and
not license that is issued. Drug stores
that never sell drop of liquor as bev-
erage pay this tax to the National gov
eminent, and now the town liquor
agents, also, are required to do so.
The latter dispense liquors, ETC., for
medical and mechanical purposes under
statute law. In the 4SS it is reasonable
to suppose is included all tax receipts
issued to Vermont, but we have not the
data at hand to verify the statement

THE BANKERS SCHEME.

President Cleveland and Secretary Carlisl e
are smart, brainy men, capable of framing
any iaw, from an act TO impound yellow dogs
TO revision Of The tariff schedule and if left
Rlcne either statesman would have presented
Congress with an acceptable financial meas
ure. But they have been unduly influenced
in The preparation of the new currency bill
now being considered by the Banking and
Currency Committee. They have been ad-
vised by too many bankers, and as bankers
are interested parties the currency bill has
the seriods fault OF being framed in the inter-
est of banks.
According TO the popular idea, banks are
places Of business where money is loaned, notes
shaved. drafts and bills of exchange issued
deposits OF money received, and coin and
bullion purchased. They differ from other
places Of business only inasmuch as they deal
in debts and credits and commodities instead
Of in merchandise or agricultural and manu-
factured products. But they use money or
its substitute just as other places OF business
do, and there is no reason why banks should
be furnished currency TO speculate with on
more favorable terms than it is issued to other
business enterprises.
The new currency bill requires the Comp
troller Of Currency to provide banks with

substance of decision rendered by Judge
Kimball yesterday. George ]. Cost, a George
town dealer, was charged with maintaining a
sign board less than eight feet above the side
walk. The testimony showed that Mr. Cost
had chicken coop in front of his place Of
business, and that it was covered on one side
with canvas. on which was lettered in
scription calling attention to his stock. This
the police construed into swinging sign
board. The case was promptly dismissed.
