STREET IMPROVEMENT,

There are two important bills
for street improvement in Homo
lulu before the Legislature. One
is to extend certain streets. 1t
prescribes the routes of an ex-
tension of Fort street to the Pauoa
road; of an extension of Kukui
street from Fort to Emma street
and, in the other direction, from
Nuuanu to Liliha street; of Vine
yard street from Liliha to the
junction of Punchbowl and Miller
streets, including the present line
of the street to be extended; of
Kuakini street from Nuuanu
to Punchbowl street; of Bates
street (Hobron laneJ, AZ feet in
width, from Nuuanu to Liliha
street: of Pensacola street, So feet
in width, from Beretania to King
street; of Militant street,
Sc feet in width, from King
to Halekauwila street, and
and of Hotel street from Richards
to Alapai street, coming out at the
north end of Young street. The
other bill authorizes the Executive
Council, whenever it shall deem it
desirable for the public convent
ence, to increase the width of
Beretania, Richards, Miller,
School, Hotel, Fort, Punchbowl,
King, Bethel, Judd and Nuuanu
streets. The proposed extensions
when made will be vast improve
ment on the town plan and an
inestiruable public convenience.
By breaking up the hinge blocks
now existing not only will travel
be facilitated, but the conditions
of sanitary improvement and in
spection will be greatly enhanced.
The widening of the streets nam
ed in the bill has become, in de-
grees varying between different
ones, highly desirable and in
some cases absolutely necessary
to public convenience and even
safety. OF course all these ex-
tensions and widenings cannot be
expected to be accomplished in
the current period, but it is neces.
sary TO have the lines of improve
ment laid down by law so that
property owners may not make
the work, when it comes to be
done, more difficult and expensive
by putting buildings within the
limits in the meantime.

conversion scheme. Changing six
percents into six percents would
be like taking a dollar in small
change out of one pocket and put
ting it into another while
dropping a nickel or two on
the ground in the transfer.
Most of the present bonded in
debtedness is at six per cent.
Then, again, if the object in con-
verting the old debt is to reduce
the interest bill below six per
cent, why is the new loan in the
bills for that purpose placed at
the maximum of six per cert. ?
This new loan proposes to add
two-fifths to the present bonded
debt, making the total amount five
million dollars. When it has all
been issued the interest bill at six
per cent. would be 100000 a
year. Why not let the country
through the Legislature declare
that it will borrow no more money
unless it can be done for, at the
very most, five per cent. ? Such
a declaration would be as power
full as any factor that could be
named in enhancing the credit of
the country. Hawaii, with its
resources and present rate of de-
velopment, ought to get money at
four or four and a half per cent.

1t does not look as if the Attor-
ney- General made up his estimates
with sny particular care, when
without the tremor of an eyebrow
he moves in the House to dock
one deputy sheriff $500 for adding
to the salary of another. Did he
not know that North Kona was a
large district and Koloa a small
one when he was putting the
original items in the bill?

THE LOAN BILLS.

Our correspondent Hawaiian"
does not seem to like the "Loan
Bill in Four Acts" as he calls it.
There are certainly features about
the measures that should be care
fully Investigated by the Legisla-
ture before passing them in their
present forms. 1t should be ex-
planned to them why the maximum
rate of interest in the consolidation
bill is placed at six per cent,
when if bonds are issued at that
rate there will be no saving to the
country but, with the expenses of
conversion, probably a loss. Even
at 5 per cent, with the commits
sion and discount allowed, the
apparent saving, according to the
estimate attached to the bill, is
less than $4,000 a year. At four
per cent. the saving would be
about $4,000 more. The ques-
ton is why is six per cent. made
optional at all, il this is a genuine

Results of Honesty.

"My watch is giving me the ut
most satisfaction; L actually be-
lieve it does not vary second
during the week."
Pleasant remarks these. Just
the kind of balm a matchmaker
needs occasionally to keep up
his spirits. For you know
working all day on high
stool, glass firmly screwed
into one eye, looking at objects
so minute it takes a microscope
to distinguish them, is not the
pleasantest occupation which
could fall to the lot of man.
So it's no wonder a fellow
gets all out Of sorts OCCASION
ally, and then it's the time a
few remarks like the above
does what all the patent medi-
cine in the world could not ac-
complish, cheers up, makes
things look brighter, the next
job goes all the smoother.
Speaking ofthe above watch:
1t was an old one. The wearer
had used it steadily for forty
years. 1t had run enough;h
revolved it's wheels so long and
steadily, that at last it was
tired out. The pivots were so
worn, the wheels just wobbled
and wobbled, then stopped al
together What was to be
done? Throw it away? Get a
new one. Yes, but the wearer
valued it for it's associations, it
was as dear to him as his best
friend;so nothing would do but
build it all over as it were, re-
new the parts, put some 90
into it. That we accomplished
it to the entire satisfaction Of
the owner, his remarks above
would surely leave no room for
doubt. And we can do the
same with yours, sometimes
they 60 a little too far, and the
cost for reconstruction is too
much, but generally no work
is too intricate for us. 1t is
that which we brag about,
complicated work is our strong
hold. Isn't it reasonable now
to suppose that we are better
able to do your less intricate
workl Wouldn't it be safer to
give us the custody of your

what the trouble, aud have a
feeling of certainty as to It's

Senator Holstein has introduc
ed bill to amend the distillation
act of 1892. At the same time the
Senate has tabled a bill for licens-
ing the manufacture of spirits
from fruits. The BULLETIN has
received note from a resident of
Hawaii, urging that the law of
1892 should be amended, so as to
make it practical, at least for the
medicinal kind of alcohol. The
writer asks: as it not most abb
surd, as long as alcohol is allowed
to be consumed, or used for medi-
cal purposes, to make its manu-
facture in the country i'm
possible, and to pay tribute
to foreigners?" 1t does seem so,
especially when a purer article
can be produced here than i'm
ported. The Hawaiian Govern
ment sent a sample of okolehao,
from seizure by the police, to
the Paris Exposition, more as a
curiosity than anything else, and
it was awarded first-class medal.

1t appears that the license law
exempts from the fee Of S25 for
diaries people who supply milk
to their neighbors. This exemp-
ton has worked injury to dairy
men who pay the fee, and the
Judiciary Committee of the SEN
ate proposes to remedy the griev-
ance by exempting only three
COWS in such cases. Three fairly
good mich kline will supply a good

Timely Topics
March Id, 1890.

A church congregation down
in Sanders, KY, was dismissed
most summarily under un-
pleasant circumstances two
Sundays since. Right in the
middle of the preachers dis
course there bolted into the
church through the half-open
door what appeared to be a
black and white cat, closely
followed by a yellow dog. Cat
and dog ran swiftly down the
middle aisle to the platform.
The preacher taken unawares,
did the natural thing, kicked
at the cat, hit it, and landed it
squarely in the middle of the
congregation. Then it turned
out that the cat was skunk.
The rest of the story is left to
the imagination of the reader.
This week we want to call
your attention especially to the
ALASKA REFRIGERATOR and
give you a few items concern
ing its construction.
To give strength and dura-
biIity, an inside body, or frame
is made of we'll dried, matched
wood, to which hardwood
cleats are solidly nailed. Upon
these cleatS the outer body, or
frame, is built.
The inner frame is made
from perfectly odorleSS wood,
and is lined with zinc. Po-
lished as bright as a mirror,
presenting very clean and at
tractive appearance.
All exposed wood, as under
the lids and about the doors,
is odorless tulip poplar,
thoroughly shellaced. This
makes the Refrigerator clean
and sweet.
Between the outer and inner
walls there is an inch and a
half space filled with PURE
CHARCOAL. There is nothing
so good in every way for fill
ling the space between the
two walls of a Refrigerator as
Pure Charcoal.
The locks are entirely new
in principle, and are, without
exception, the best ever used
on a Refrigerator. They will
keep the door closed perfectly
tight, even if they were left
one-eighth inch loose.
The hinges are very strong,
beautiful in design, and made
expressly for THE ALASKA
REFRIGERATOR.
All the trimmings are solid
brass, dipped finish, this being
the latest style in fine brass
goods.
From the results of tests
made during the past three
years, we are convinced that
the ALASKA is the best Re-
frigerator in the market, in
construction, in power to pre-
serve periShableS, in economy
of ice, and, in fact, in all the
points necessary to make them
tirSt-claSS in every respect.

CLASH OF DATES.
Pimlico Meeting VIII Interfere With
the Parkway Driving Club.

Pimiico Meeting VIII Int terfere With
the Parkway Driving Club.
New York, March 3O.-The joint COM
mittee appointed by the Parkway Driving
Club and the Driving Club of New York to
arrange series of interclub trotting races,
is having a hard time to frame suitable
classes and conditions for the proposed
contests between the road horses or New
York and Brooklyn. The committee was
in session half a day last week at the
Hotel Metropole, but no definite and finai
agreement could be reached.
1t is now pretty certain that the slow
clas SIS at first proposed will be dropped, the
view rightly prevailing that few members
who own high class green trottcrs would
care to start them in cup races and give fast
records to them where there is no money
prize to be won.
Moreover, one OF the objects in arrang-
ing these cup races was TO open fleld for
the scores of outclassed campalgners that
are now used as road horses in New YORK
and Brooklyn, all OF whom are barred
by their records from the slow classes
- After keeping silent until all open dates
had been claimed, and the makeup OF the
eastern spring circuit was finally arranged
and announced, the Pimlico Driving Club
has now decided 10 hold Il trotting meet
ing at the mile track in Baltimore the last
week in May.
This means a clash with the Parkway
Driving Club, whose spring meeting was
announced nearly month ago, when the
Baltimore Club gave the horsemeh 10 un'
derstand that no harness races would take
nlace nj Pimlico this spring. 1t now ap'
pears that the winning meeting, which IL
was proposed 10 hold on the P1mlco
course 10 the exclusion OF trCtters, is TO
take place at ElktOn.
