THE RAIxEs LAW AND CRIME.
Decrease in Arrests for Drunkenness and
on Kindred Charges.

State Senator John Ford took issue yesterday
with q statement alleged to have been made by
the Rev. I. X. Funk to the effect that there
was no doubt that intoxicnt!on and crime had
increased since the Raines law came into oper-
alton"
1T seems" said Mr.. Ford. that DIR. Funk's
remarks were intended to apply to Brooklyn.
AS a member OF the committee appointed by the
State Senate to investigate the practical opera
tion of the new liquor tax law have made extern
sive Investigations Us to its apparent influence
upon intoxcation and crime. Although the fig-
ures for Brooklyn are not yet completed, those
for New York are down to the end of August
1900. am not, therefore, in "A position TO ab-
solutely deny the accuracy OF Dr. Funk's nsser-
ton. but II Is hardly credible that conditions in
Brooklyn should so radically differ from thuse
In New York under the same law as to give an
exactly opposite result over there from what we
now know tho result TO DO on this nide OF tho
East River. SO far as New York is concerncd,
the law; Judged by the police statistics. has been
admirably successful"
Senator Ford submitted these figures, show

cohol is being carried on in Honolulu,
the decline in the spirits column in
1895 is largely accounted for.
In 1893 the increased consumption
of California wines was only a little
over 5,40O gallons, and it is absurd to
argue that such an incr5 ase had much
10 do with the decline of 10000 gal
Ions of spirits in that same year.
Gin and samshoO were largely consum-
ed by Hawaiians and Chinese, and the
decline in the consumption of those
liquors but shows that those nationali-
ties have begun to use other liquors.
and the increase in consumption of
over 100000 gallons of sake in two years
leaves no doubt as to what liquor re-
ceiVed their chief patronage.
The Finance Minister sought to make
his bill appear respectable by advo-
eating it as a temperance measure -

stale and worn out argument used even
out here, where we touch the borders
Of heathendom,
How do men learn to drink? BY be

Nor do men, as a rule, leave whisky
etc, for wine. This is no temperance
measure, but bears all the ear-marks Of

lister said, Gin the interest of those who
consume wines and spirits those who
sell wines and spirits, he might have
said having a shrewd interest in the

The Minister also said in his speech: /
I'VE have a decided interest in our

these things Evidently that is correct, /
when we find our Finance Minister I
hard pushed for money, willing to i'm /
pose heavy additional licenses upon our /
butchers, bakers, tailors, artisans. me-
ehanics, etc, at the same time that he
tells us ne is in favor OF reducing the
'eVenUe Of the country by $4,000 in the
interests Of the California wine deal
rs and the local liquor interests. Con-
measures are good in their
proper place; but when it comes to even
eeming TO allow a foreign or local wine
or any other corporation to practically
lold the whip over our Legislature and
make the people of this country pay for
)eing whipped into line, it is something
hat no genuine American or Anglo
saxon will bear, or respect anyone who
loes.

people on a solid basis it will be time

MR.. EDITOR: - We certainly do
things strangely in Hawaii A liquor
commission was appointed at the spe-
ciaI session of the Legislature. The in
structions were to thoroughly investi-
gate and report upon the liquor traffic
IN other countries and Hawaii
The presumption is that they have
done so, and that when their report is
printed we shall have thoroughly re-
liable data about the traffic here and
elsewhere.
Now we have Minister Damon, at the
end Of this long session, introducing a
bill, over the head Of the commission
the object of which is to admit grape
wines under 18 per cent alcohol free Of
duty. This bill is being rapidly pushed
through, while the bills of the liquor
commission make their tardy way
along A table of statistics taken from
custom house reports was used by Min
lister Damon yesterday, while speaking
in support of his bill. l wish to call at
tention to the table used by the Minister
of Finance, as it was in the first place
the wrong table, and then, worst of all,
incomplete, and, as far as his argument
was concerned, inaccurate. The table
was published as follows:
Comparative table showing imports
of spirits and wines for the ten years,
1SS6-1S95, inclusive

schedules sundries and China wines.
1t was not until 1894 that sake was
entered in the custom house reports as
a separate item. In 1894 there was
withdrawn for consumption S3,095 gal
Ions of sake, and in 1895 the amount
withdrawn had increased to LAG, $50 gal
Ions.
Minister Damons table of imports
shows only SO,O61 gallons of spirits i'm
pirted in 1886, while as a matter of fact
100,703 gallons were withdrawn for
consumption''-over 10000 gallons hav-
ing evidently been in bond. The Minis
ter's table only shows a little over 28,-
900 gallons of spirits imported in each
of the years 1888 and 1889, whereas in
1888 the custom house statistics show
that 6S,247 gallons of spirits were with
drawn for consumption" and in 1889
there was also withdrawn 74,S16 gallons
of spirits. Enough has been said to
show how thoroughly misleading the
Finance Minister'S table was, as giving
support to his argument that California
wines were rapidly pushing spirits out
of use in Hawaii
If Minister Damon had taken the
trouble to look over the Collector Gen
erals reports before speaking, he would
have found that the chief falling off in
the spirits column was very largely
due to the decrease in gin and sam
shoe. In 1898, the first year when any
marked falling off in spirits occurs, we
find that the consumption of gin de-
creased from 25,397 gallons to 1920,
and again in 1894 it dropped to 12,247
gallons. In 1892 there was withdrawn
for consumption" 3O,03S gallons of
samshoo, but in 1898 this quantity
had fallen to 1927 gallons. In other
words, the two articles, gin and sam
shoe, unitedly fell off in consumption
over 81 900 gallons in 1893. When to
this is added the further fact that an
increasing amount of blending and re-
ducing'' of whisky, brandy, gin and al
