ARTESIAN WELLS.

In our issue OF January 18th, We
referred to the decrease in water
supply of the artesian wells and
said that they depended upon the
rainfall. A report has been brought
to US relative to the wells on the
Eva side of the city which shows
that since the late rainfall the
wells have risen some ten inches
The Kamehameha School wells
would not at that time run into
the bathing tanks, the supply pipe
being above the height of the col
umn of water. Now the tanks can
De freely filled, the water having
risen above the supply pipe.
In this connection it seems not
amiss to call attention to the
fact that there is a law on the
statute books with regard to arte-
sian wells. It was passed in 1884
and appears as Chapter XIX in
the laws of that year. It provides
that every artesian well then flow
ing, or that might thereafter be
made on the island of Oahu, should
be capped by the owner SO as to
give complete control over the flow
of water. No person having the
right to use water from an artesian
we'll is to allow it to run to waste.
Section 8 provides a penalty of
fifty dollars for violating Sections
1 and 2 of the Act. We are credi-
bly, informed that the provisions of
this Act have not been. carried out
and that there are uncapped arte-
sian wells in the vicinity of Homo
lulu. We understand, however,
that the Government is investi-
eating the matter and that the law
will be applied.
In Spain, France and Italy great
attention has been paid to the con-
troll of artesian wells and legis-
lation upon the point is quite vol
luminous. Wells in those coun-
tries are regarded almost in the
light of public property and are
legislated for accordingly. It is
quite probable that new law on
the subject will be passed at the
coming Legislature.

THURSDAY, JANUARY 1e, 1896.

THE Hawaii election will most
likely go to Mr.. Holstein. The
ballots cast at Honomu contain
one which is not legal and that was
cast for Mr.. Young. This would
give Mr.. Holstein the majority.
Of course the matter will be prop
erly stated before the courts. 1t
does seem odd to any one I'M
acquainted with human nature
that the very plainest of written
directions can be misunderstood.
But human nature is prone to err
and good deal of it cannot under
stand very simple directions. In
one way, it is to be hoped that the
election will go to Mr.. Holstein.
The big island will be represented,
and if the voters for Senator there
don't like him they have only
themselves to blame. They should
have come out fat-footed and put
up some man they did want. Dog
in the manger policy isn't worth a
tinker's oath in politics.

THE question of cemeteries was
treated of in the Board of Health
meeting yesterday. The present
cemeteries are crowded. A suitable
place should be set aside for this
purpose which cannot possibly con-
taminate our water supply, as the
President of the Board of Health
very justly says. But we are sur
prised that some member of the
Board of Health did not suggest
the advisability of erecting crema-
tory. A city of the size of Homo
lulu should have such an institu-
ton. It is cleaner, healthier for
those who remain and move in
accord with the progress of modern
thought than the cemeteries which
ought to be of the past.

VALUE OF THE OPIUM LICENSE.

The question OF license or non
license of opium is one which will
play a considerable figure in the
next Legislature! 1t is necessary,
in order to argue upon the question
intelligently, to understand what
has been done in the past and what
has been the experience of the Ha-
waiian Government in the matter
of licensing opium.
The Civil Code, promulgated in
1859, put an ad valorem duty of
fifteen per cent. on the drug. In
1850. an opium license was granted
for the sale of opium to Cinnamon
in Honolulu and Lahaina, and this
remained in force till 1874. This
license was sold at auction. In that
year the Act was amended and the
importation and sale of opium was
restricted to the Board of Health.
For ten years the opium license
was a constant bone of contention
in the Legislature till, in 1886, the
Minister of the Interior, with the
consent of the King in Cabinet
Council, was authorized to grant
license upon payment OF $3O,OOO.
This brought about the celebrated
bribery case in which the King was
proved to have received seventy
odd thousand dollars as an equiva-
lent for giving his consent. 1t was
about the last straw to the camel's
back, and led directly to the revo-
luton of 1887. The iniquity of that
bill lay in the fact that, as far as
the license itself was concerned, it
could not be put up to auction, but
the King and his Minister of In
terror might make what they could
out of it. It was direct incentive
to corruption.
The value of the license during
the period from 1860 to 1874 in
creased from $4,000 to $4,000, at
which sum it was knocked down at
auction to Messrs. Loo Ngawk and
Aswan.
The probable amount to be OBJ
tanned from a license will hardly
exceed that sum, should the COIN
ing Legislature decide" to pass a
licensing bill. There would, in
addition to the license, be the duty
of Is per cent. ad valorem, which,
supposing as large an amount were
at once imported as Chun Lung did
in 1886, viz: $4,000 in round
numbers, would produce about
$3.50. 1t would not be safe to
calculate, therefore, upon much
greater revenue from the sale of
the drug than between $4,000 to
$4,000.
That seems to be the position in
a nutshell from the commercial
standpoint. From the moral stand
point there is much to be said,
which will bear argument later.
We publish the figures in full in
another column. They are the
work of Chief Clerk Hassinger of
the interior Department, who has
shown his usual industry and &C
curacy in compiling them.

IT is the intention of the Gov
eminent to adopt more personal
supervision over the different
branches of the Government SER
vice upon the other islands. The
heads of departments will go on

them and the needs of various dis
tricts. Postmaster-General Oat has
done good service in this direction
already. The Marshal is visiting

third place he dies sud-

it inevitably grows as the mind
