TO CORRECT MISREPRESENTATION

Since the unusual action of the
captain of the Monowai in refusing
to carry the mails, the community,
besides deploring the fact, has been
casting about for some one to
blame. While we believe that the
captain was over careful in the
protection of his ship, he was in
many respects justified in his &C
ton in consequence of the strict
regulations of his company. This
fact, however, does not detract from
the gravity of the situation as
looked upon from this end of the
line. Next TO a true cholera
scourge, nothing could do this
country more injury than the SEN
sational reports which in all proba-
bility will be sent broadcast over
the United States in consequence
of the very meagre information
which the Monowai carries to San
Francisco. Refusal to take pas
sengers is not unusual, but refusal
to take fumigated mails is a de-
cided departure from custom,
whatever the character or extent of
the disease prevalent in the infected
port from which they are taken.
AS matter Of fact Honolulu
cannot be regarded as an infected
port and vessels are constantly
arriving at American ports, direct
from countries where the disease is
ever present. Be this as it may,
the wrong has been done and the
present problem is, What are we
going to do about it ?
The first disposition naturally is
to Immediately despatch steamer
to follow in the wake of the Mono
wal and correct any false impress.
sions which may have gained cred
ence. Fully approaching the feel

friends and business in the States
we doubt whether very much will
be gained by sending this
steamer at once. 1t cannot heaC
off the stories started by the Mono
wal passengers, and should tn,
steamer 60 out today, all tina
can be said is that no new
cases have been reported and it i
hoped that the disease is stamped
out. There remains the possibility
that the next steamer may brin;
news of another outbreak. Som
people believe the Board of Healtl
has been too hasty in declaring tn
character of the disease, but tn
position taken by the Board or it
critics remains to be demonstrated
On general principles sending

good idea, the more definite tn
denial we can make however, tn
greater the confidence among out

Timely Copies

Interesting information re-
garding the street railway in
dustry in the United States is
furnished by a table recently
published, giving the mileage,
cars, stock and debts of all the
roads in the country, and some
important facts are brought
out by them.
Out of I3,5S8 miles Of track
(976 roads), Io,363 miles are
electric and only 632 miles are
cable; the balance being either
elevated or horse power.
The table shows to what
extent electricity has supplant-
ed other means of locomotion.
The extent of capitalization
is another feature calculated to
draw attention.
While theaverage capitalize
ton of steam roads amount to
about 100000 per mile, the
capitalization of the street
roads is as high as S95,ooo per
mile.
There is something strange
about this contrast, as street
railways do not generally have
to buy the right of way.
1t is plain that the stock
waters have been doing a
great deal of the recent street
railway building. Either some
of the water will have to be
squeezed out of these securi-
ties before a fair percentage
can reliablybe earned on them,
or it will have demonstrated in
very striking way the enor-
nous value Of public fran
chises which have been given
away to the companies.
Let the wise men of Hawaii
put their heads together" and
see if something cannot be
done TO avoid and do away

similar state of fnanciering

CHILE'S COINAGE PROBLEM
Special PAYMENT Resumed but At
tended with Curious Complications.
Both Gold and Silver Money Con-
tained Extraordinary Proportion
of Bullion.

Senor Don Domingo Cana, the Chiian
minister. has received the following cable
gram:
Santiago, June Sd, 1895.
.'Chilian Minister, Washington:
1T is very gratifying 10 me to inform
YOU that after seventeen years of the regime
OF paper money. Chile has returned with sat
isfaction and confidence to the gold stand
ard. The law is in force.
"FERNANDEZ,
Minister of Finance" /"
The resumption of specie payments by
Chile, which occurred on last Saturday,
promises to furnish some interesting les
sons on coinage legislation. Reports from
there stat e that the government tried
to familiarize the people with the .2ew forms
of silver and gold coin by getting out a
preliminary Issue These were quickly
exchanged for the old paper money, but as
soon as the novelty had worn off the people
were glad to go back to the more conyen-
lent form Of paper currency.
Another embarrassment occurred when
the government found that coin was being
exported in great quantities. The new
specie payment law fixed the ratio between
the metals at Al to /. This ignored the
current ratio of the remainder OF the world,
that in the London market tthe present
time being about 81 to i.
As a result of this difference, gold
bullion began to flow out of Chile at an
alarming rate. The silver coins were also
exported, because the law prescribed that
they should contain 444 grains of pure
silver, which made them worth intrinsical-
ly more than the current silver dollar.
Thus both gold and silver We're being
drained out of Chile, SO that the government
ordered the mints TO stop further coinage.
Under the law the miuts began again last
Saturday and there ismuch iuteresttolearn
what the result will be of this latest step.

cry of flags and bunting in the national and
German colors and with the colors ana re-
gala of the several societies represented.
The greater part OF the crowd watched
