Suggestions Regarding It's Re-
stncton.
MEETING HELD LAST NIGHT.
striction-One Company 20 Con-
troll the Business six Per Cent.
Profit Allowed - Heavy Capital.

The meeting called by the join
committee of the ". c. I. I. anC
the Y. VI. c. A. met with a number
OF invited friends in the parlor o.
the association last evening.
J. B. Atherton was elected chair
man OF the committee and W. ".
Hall secretary. Rev. H. W. Peck,
At the request of the chair. an
nounced that the object OF the
meeting was to discuss certain
plans for reducing the evils Of the
liquor traffic in Hawaii. At pres
ent this line of trade is, practical
", controlled by two firms in Ho-
nolulu. The revenue obtained by
the Government from the issuance
of liquor licenses amounted TO
$4,000 per annum, and the idea
was TO formulate plan whereby
the number of places for the sale of
spirituous and malt liquors might
be restricted.
The importation and sale of
liquor would be in the hands OF a
corporation of reputable citizens
and the capital stock of the COM
pany would be not less than
100000, of which 60 per cent.
would be paid in.
The net earnings of the liquor
company above six per cent. on the
par value OF the stock would be
paid into the Government to be
used for the support OF various in
situations to be named.
The charter or franchise for this
business was was to be for a period
of not more than twenty-five years,
though it may be for a shorter
period if the Legislature should
wish.
In the discussion which followed,
Mrs. J. NJ. Whitney said she ia
vored prohibition, but a number of
people with whom she had con-
versed on the subject thought that
was impracticable. The motto of
the w. c. T. [. is prohibition, and |
the ladies of that society would not /
be satisfied with anything less than
the most.
DR.. Hyde thought prohibition
impracticable, so he favored the
next best thing which, in his opin-
ion, was restriction, and this meant
the gradual falling off of the traffic.
He thought those present were a
unit against brewing or distilling
on the islands.
Hon. W. r. Castle, who was
present to listen, rather than dis
cuss, was asked to say what he
knew OF the bill which the associa- I
ton would present. He said it
was a combination OF the best
points OF the liquor laws of Nor
way and South Carolina, adding
that the Norway law had worked
we'll in Norway and the law in
South Carolina while, disliked by
its enemies had had the effect of
out the GROCERIES in
Charleston. 1t may be stated here
that in South Carolina and Georgia
nearly every retail grocery shop
had a saloon attachment. Ed !
In Norway through the enforcement
IF the law the sale of brandy,
which was the principal drink :
here, had fallen off but the sale of
beer and wine had increased. 1t
was quite probable an amendment
to the law would be made to cover
his.
Various sections in the proposed
bill were discussed and a commit
zee appointed to represent the Y.
NJ. C. A. and w. c. T. U. before
the temperance commission con-
;ists of Messrs. Peck, Bowen and
W. R. Castle, Mrs. Whitney, Mrs. {
Hall and Mrs. Green.

portions OF the Cuban rebellion. The

striking the blow is q most serious one.

NOT ENTHUSIASTIC.
North End Democrats Appear to
Be Lukewarm.
Republicans Active and Confident Of
Making a GOOD Showing.

Not much interest is taken In the local
campaign in the North End, and the
Democracy does not appear to oe very
enthusiastic over either the national or
local tickets. IL seems very probable that
the vote In the Third Ward will not be
as large as at previous Presidential eiec-
tions. The Repu blicans of the ward,
though, are very enthusiastic, and while
they had no marching companies, yet
they think that the accessions to their
ranks. from the employees OF the mills
that have run such short time during the
past three years cannot foil to be large.
