eliminates in Collision.
DULUTH, Mimi, Sept. 2.-As result

water. Captain Lietzel of the Medi-
nah and Captain Brown of the Path
finder were arrested and locked up.

NOT MUCH DAMAGE.

BROOKLYN, N. Y, Sept. 2.-Three
distinct earthquake shocks were felt
by tie residents of Brooklyn about 6
o'clock yesterday morning. No dam
age to life or property is reported from
any section of the city. The districts
of East New York and South Brooklyn
received the greatest shock, but the
rumblings were distinctly felt in other
sections of the city. Contradictory
reports are given as to- the severity of
the shocks. The first shock, felt
at o'clock, was followed by rumb-
ling noise, like distant thunder. This
was followed by two other slighter
shocks, which, according to most of
the reports, died away a low,
grating tone.

WEDNESDAY, AUGUST IA, 1895.

An evening paper informs its
readers that the suppression of
opium in the last two years has
been a bowling farce. We presume
by this that the editor intends the
public to know that, as far back
as his knowledge reaches-two
years or less-in his opinion, the
suppression of opium has been,
ETC., etc. Or does he intend to make
the assertion that only IN the last
two years has the suppression of
opium, ETC., ETC.? ?" IF the latter, past
events brand the statement as false,
for at no time, past or present,
have attempts at suppressing the
drug been so successful either in
these islands or elsewhere. The
term "howling farce" displays
either a vindictive spite against
some one in the customs bureau or
a lack of accurate knowledge of
even a moiety of the work that has
been done, for assuredly honest,
if abortive, attempts have been
made to prevent opium smuggling
by officers who are beyond doubt
as efficient and straight dealing as
their critics, if not more go. One
fact alone removes the farcical"
proposition, that is, as we are
credibly informed, that Hongkong
opium is worth to the smuggler
S22.40 per tin.

SUCCESS TO THE CABLE.

N The cable contract has been
signed, sealed, delivered and rati-
fed, and as Colonel Spalding
came into the country with the
most business-like proposition
ever seen here, he will go out with
the most liberal contract this
country has ever offered conse-
quently, if he is not successful in
the United States the blame GER
tainly cannot be laid at the door
of the Hawaiian Conveniently The
country has played a high stake
given all that it was possible to
give, and the people stand to win
good deal, with the possibility of
losing if they fall into the hands of
cranky corporation.
Although there are numerous
features in the contract of which
we do not approve, be it far from
us to cry down the measure or at
tempt to detract from the ultimate
success. The contract has become
law so far as the Legislature is able
to make it go, and the best plan
possible to follow now is to
make the best of it and push
the good work along. If at the
end Of ten years - providing
the cable is laid-the country
finds that it gave away something,
the value of which was not appre-
ciated in August of 1895, all that
will remain to be done will be to
make the best of it. We trust,
however, that such an exigency
will not arise and that the con-
tract will prove all that its most
enthusiastic supporters predict.

LAW MAKING AND LAW ENFORCING.

Commissioner Roosevelt told some
of his callers recently that the best
way to get rid of the Sunday blue
laws of New York City was to en-
force them, thus causing the people
to go to the Legislature and have
them repealed. When one consid-
ers what laws are supposed to be
passed for in the first place, this
statement seems decidedly pc
culiar; but when the general Gus
tom of local option in different
municipalities is taken into ac-
count it brings to notice one of the
interesting phases of law making
and final enforcement in many Sec
tons of the United States. Laws
based on high moral principles are
passed, but the effectiveness de-
ponds upon the high moral princi-
pies Of the majority OF the individ-
ual communities. Some cities
appear to keep laws on the statute
books on the same principle that
some families keep ? large family

WHETHER the tariff or sound
money" shall be made the leading
feature Of the next Presidential
campaign is causing more or less
sober thought among politicians of
the United States. The democrats
are satisfied with the tariff as it is,
and the republicans are consider
ably divided, it being hard for
many to believe that the democrats
can draw a tariff schedule giving
as good results as McKinleyism.
A republican journal of Boston
sides with the minority of its party
and states that there is ''every rea-
son for believing that merchants,
manufacturers as a whole, and bust
ness men do not desire any tariff
tinkering by the next Congress.
They are, as class, unfavorable to
disturbing a tariff under which
business is surely regaining its old
status. Anybody who alleges that
the tariff as it exists has been
fashioned on free trade ideas, be-
lies his own intelligence and the
facts. Whatever slight improve
ments are necessary in that legis-
lation can be made without open
ing the general question at all"

WE heartily agree with Mr..
Thurston that every person in, or
coming to these islands has a right
to have his or her opinions respect
ed whether they coincide with ours
or not. At the same time it must
be admitted that the remarks of
people of more or less prominence
attract more or less interest-and
all people have a right to draw
conclusions.

New York liked the excise Law
when it kept front doors Of the
saloons closed on Sunday and
gave the police an opportunity 10
make an occasional farcical arrest.
There was a call for reform and
now that the reform has come, the
law is not in the same favor as
formerly. How often the represen-
tatives of the people vote for laws
affecting the morals of their state
and when they return to their own
towns, overlook a disregard for the
statute because the people of the
town are not heartily in accord
with it.
Law making and law enforcing
too often occupy spheres quite as
distinct as theory and practice.
On the whole the people believe in
the theory but when the practice
interfcres with their usual routine
of life, then dissatisfaction be-
comes 50 marked that the officers
of the law keep quiet, or if the
law is made obnoxious by en-
forcement the people usually
tell their representatives that
it must either be forgotten by
the officials or put out of existence.
No one can fail to admire the bold
stand taken by such men as Mayor
Strong and Mr.. Roosevelt, but the
history Of the past has been that
these reforms are spasmodic. One
thing is certain, if the spasms were
more numerous the people and the
lawmakers would be more careful
in what they placed on the statute
books, and consequently petty Off
Gals made less liable to corruption.

of business, trade and COM
merce in the United States eff
fects to a greater extent the
business propects in our Ha-
wall nei.
Something over a year ago
the people in the United States
were suffering from the evil eff
fects ofapanic. Banks were clos
ing their doors, business houses
were reducing their force of
employees, factories closed
down indefinitely. throwing
out thousands upon thousands
of laboring men with large
families, who depended upon
the father, and he upon his
work to keep his wife and
children clothed and fed. Des-
perate men kept agitating the
workman to assert their rights,
blaming the capitalists for con-
spring against them; finally
the day laborer began to be-
lieve that he was the only one
wronged, that the capitalist
threw him out of work out of a
spirit of revenge. What was
the result? The boycotting of
factories, still trimmings, strikes
and the destruction of property
public and private.
Today from every quarter of
the country, East, West, North,
and South come the glad It'd
ings of revived business
and commercial prosperity. !
The products of the farms,
mines, plantations, mills and
factories have all gone hand
inland towards upward prices.
Cotton, wheat, wool, and other
staples of agricultural product
ion have come into increased |
demand at greatly increased |
prices. The iron, steel and
coal industries have become
active and profitable, where a
year ago they were nearly
dead. The Illinois Steel Com
pany has advanced wages ten
per cent. which affects some
1000 employees. The Pitts
burg districts show the same
condition of affairs and larger
output. At Wheeling and
Trenton, wages have raised
from ten to forty per cent.
This state of affairs is pecu-
liar to the United States.
After two years and a half of
depression, good times are
coming again.
Hawaii today is commence
ing to feel the pulse of bust
ness activity beating faster and
faster. Buildings, both private
and public are undergoing con-
struction, thus affording en-
ployment for the mechanics;
sugar is steadily but surely adj
and enterprise such
as the extension of the O. r. &
L. Co.'S railroad, electric street
railways and a cable to the
Coast, are being considered,
and to say that these will not
be beneficial to Hawaii is put
ing it mildly. The laboring
men today is in far better cir
than formerly, as
an be seen by observing the
number who are using the
bicycle as a means of taking
hem to and from their labors.
Foremost in the ranks of bicy-
les comes the "MoNARCH

las created the Juror in the
hearts of the lovers of good
sport as has the MONARCH.
