A QUESTION OF MITIGATION.

The measure before the Legislature
TO repeal the Act to Mitigate" should
lead to positive reform movement,
and put an end to the steady increase
of the social evil in Honolulu. The re-
peal of the present law will be strenu-
ously opposed on the ground that as a
sanitary measure it serves as a safe
guard that cannot be obtained in any
other way. And yet, in the face of this
assertion, stand the figures showing
that the social evil is not diminished,
that the people engaged in the nefari-
Gus business are becoming bold and
more offensive, and although the law
declares against prostitution, it prac-
tieally amounts to license, and is so
considered, particularly by the native
population. We realize fully that the
moral condition of the lower classes
must be raised to a higher standard be-
fore the evil will be wiped out; but in
justice to the guardians of homes of
moral purity, there should be more ef
feetive restrictions placed upon the ir-
responsible members of the community.
We are not prepared to state that an
out and out license, with segregation to
a given locality, would not be better
than the present state of affairs. There
is a peculiar anamoly in the Act to
Mitigate" that is not healthful. 1t is
said that one of the influences that
leads the youth into paths of crime is
the loose manner in which communi |
ties observe many laws which are put
upon the statute books. Laws are made |
and after time, by sort of tacit |
agreement, they are ridden over, rough !
shod, until they are practically null and
void. 1t will be hard to prove that the |
Act to Mitigate" fulfills the the object !
of mitigation, except from sanitary
The question at once arises,
Are we, as civilized, Christian nation,
prepared to sacrifice moral mitigation |
in order to obtain sanitary mitigation?
Those who have homes and families to |
protect will answer decidedly in the |
negative 81. -.

CALIFORNIA VIEW OFF OUR
TARIFF.

While the wiseacres of Honolulu are
poking fun at the proposition of chang
ing our tariff laws to bring about more
liberal Interpretation of the reciprocity
treaty, the merchants of California are
becoming more and more dissatisfied
with the alleged failure of the merch-
ants of this country to render fair re-
turn for the benefits received under the
treaty. Critical murmurs have been
waited across the waters in one way
and another, and now the San Francisco
Chronicle takes up the cudgel in a
manner that ought to attract more than
passing attention.
That paper first complains that San
Francisco is not receiving the benefits
from sugar importation that were prom
ised when the reciprocity treaty was
before the Senate. 1t is claimed that
the Sugar Trust is manipulating the
market, also diverting the sugar pack
cts to the port of New York, and if
this latter scheme proves profitable.
very little Hawaiian sugar will find it's
way to the United States through the
port of San Francisco. So far as the
manipulations of the Sugar Trust are
concerned, there is no reason why Ha-
wall should be held responsible for
them. If Hawaii controlled the Trust
there would be several changes take
place of which the Chronicle says moth
ing.
AS the Trust is quite beyond Ha-
waiian influence, however, we do not

HAWAII'S BOND BILL.

One of the Senatorial wags remarked,
after the meeting of the Finance Com
mittee on Monday, that the loan bills
looked as if an elephant had stepped
on them. 1t certainly cannot be said
that the measures met with the unani-
nous consent of the business men rep
resented at the meeting. Minister Da-
mon, in drafting the measure for the
consolidation of the loan. made his first
mistake in seeking the London market
for advice, to the apparent exclusion of
all others; and second, by allowing a
wide margin for discounts and commis-
sions, thereby presupposing that the
credit of the country might be brought
in question.
Following the established precedent
of the country, il is natural to suppose
that if il is necessary to look TO any
foreign country, we should naturally go
TO the United States in considering mat
tiers of finance. Hawaii has, declared
without reserve that in cable matters
it will look first to the United States,
and parties from other countries, no
matter what their proposition may be-
must take back seat until Uncle Sam
has had ample opportunity to pass upon
the question. Why then, should we,
who are seeking to become part and par
eel of Uncle Sans domain, go to Lon
don broker, who will be benefited by
the hoped-for change in the political
conditions of the country?
1t is said that the cheapest market
was approached on the same principle
that business man goes to the market
in which he can make the best bargain.
Following out the business mans prin-
ciple, however, nothing should be done
that will tend to cast any reflection
upon our credit. Every obligation on
every bond this Government has ever
issued has been met without whimper.
Not one cent has ever been repudiated.
Why. then, should a government with
such record behind it pander to the
suspicious of outside parties by allow
ing large discounts and commissions?
There are men within the country ready
with money to invest in Hawaiian
bonds. The Government is not in a po-
sition to grant the possibility of a
doubt in connection with its credit.
If foreign syndicates don't know a good
investment when they see it, let them
take the consequences, and let Ha-
waiian citizens who have money reap
the benefit.
We cannot agree. however, that it is
best for this country to let the CONSOLE
dalton question severely alone on &C

sion-an act which the Washington
Government would not resent, IL the
lesson of Corinto means anything.
If the Chronicle desires to be logical,
and really wants TO help California
trade and the commerce of the United
States, let it throw its great influence
now and always, without ceasing, in IA
vor of annexation. When that event
takes place, the produce of California
and of the whole country will sell as
well here as in the United States, for
il will have the protection Of the
same laws. But until annexation does
take place, Hawaii has not the power
to radically discriminate against coun-
tries with which il has treaties.

RESOLUTIONS MENACRD.
Feasibility That President May Nc
Act For Cuba.

Feasibility That President May Not
Act For Cuba.
WASHINGTON, March Ex-senator
Morgan presented a new phase of hte
cuban question to the Senate shortly
before the adjournment tonight by
Offering a joint resolution declaring
that state of war existed in Cuba and
recognizing the insurgents as belliger-
elts. The pending resolutions are con-
current, while these, being joint, would,
if adopted, require the Presidents sig
nature.
The resolution was, at Mr.. Morgan's
request, allowed to lie on the table, and
was referred to the Committee on For
eign Relations. He said he would try
to call it up on Monday regardless of
the concurrent resolutions now before
the Senate, and that he hopes it can be
passed with but little delay.
The resolutions before the Senate re-
ceived an unexpected reverse today.
Sherman sought to interrupt the usual
course of adjourning over Saturday un-
less unanimous consent was given to
take the final vote ON the Cuban CUES
ton at stated time next week. The
unanimous consent was not given, how
ever, and the Senate voted, AZ to %,
to adjourn over tomorrow. The vote
was regarded as an evidence of growing
opposition to the Cuban resolutions.

AN ANNExAT1oN PHASE.

The editorial from the San Francisco
Chronicle regarding the alleged unfair
working of the reciprocity treaty, COM
mented upon in Monday mornings is
sue, has an annexation phase which
ought not to be set aside. 1t is worthy
of some comment that the general hos
tile tenor of the article is not in ac-
cordance with the usual attitude of the
paper. 1t is possible that the inspira-
ton came from the wine merchants,
who are known TO have assumed a
threatening attitude toward the islands
on account of the falling of in the i'm
ports of California wines and the large
increase in our use Of saki and other
foreign wines and liquors.
But a paper of the ability of the
Chronicle cannot misunderstood the
actual position OF affairs. 1t knows that
the reciprocity treaty has been of great
value TO the city of San Francisco, as
well as to the State of California. Ha-
wall does more business in San Fran
cisco than in any city of any other
country. Furthermore, ii is well known
that as long as Hawaii is an independ-
ent country, bound by treaties with
other nations, it cannot prohibit the i'm
portation of articles from one nation
while admitting them practically free
from another. 1t well knows that if Ha-
wall should clearly discriminate against
Japan, il would very soon reduce Ha-
wall TO Japanese colony, for in the
face Of the treaty it would be an act of
hostility which Japan would not per-
NIT, even to the extent Of taking posses

and the consequent increase in value

sive internal policy and strengthen our

sible. II the Government can diminish

Phe fact that the telegram regarding
the possible resignation of Minister
Willis comes from the Herald CORE
spondent gives the statement more than
ordinary significance. This correspond
ent is known to be in close touch with
the Administration, and does not, as a
rule, strike far from the mark. If Mr.
Willis is to be taken TO task for not
carrying out the designs Of the Admin
istration in 1893-94, the public of this
country will doubtless have a certain
amount of sympathy for him which
has not thus far found expression.

know that any tarin laws passed here
would do San Francisco any good on
| that score. The most significant re-
marks are the following:
LAS 1t resulted, Hawaii bought her
wares in the cheapest market. Even her
Christmas presents were imported from
Hamburg and Liverpool. For time
she purchased our wine, brandy, beer
and mineral water, but this trade has
now been nearly ruined by importations
of japanese sake, Canadian spirits,
German bottled beer and sauerbrun-
men mineral waters. The leading COM
mercial houses of Honolulu are Ger
man and English, and they naturally
buy their goods in Europe; but con-
spicuous American firm dealing in mer-
chandise is now seeking to attract Ha.
waiian trade by advertising that it has
also stocked up in the transatlantic
market. Honolulu dealers in furniture
go TO Japan for supplies, as do many
retailers of hats, shoes, shirts, neck
wear and decorative goods. Steadily
and surely the trade of San Francisco
merchants with Hawaii is dwindling
to huckster's traffic.
IF the sugar men chose, they could
amend Hawaiian tariff laws so that the
latter would discriminate as much in
American favor as the American tariff
laws do in Hawaiian behalf. That they
decline to so use their undoubted power
puts their hostile attitude toward San
Francisco merchants and California
producers into bold relief, and under
scores the complete lack of reciprocal
spirit which the misnamed reciprocity
treaty and its beneficiaries collectively
display"
There are several statements in the
foregoing indicative of the fact that the
writer doesn't know what he is talking
about. At the same time, there are
some facts well worth noting. 1t is |
true that many Honolulu merchants
purchase goods in European markets
Some of these goods-not all, by any
be obtained in the United |
States. 1t is true that with our present |
tariff laws merchants at present pa
irons of the United States will be forced /
into the Oriental market 1t is true that |
the people of this country-not neces-
sarily the sugar men," either-might |
pass laws which would give the Califor-
mia merchants better hold upon the
Hawaiian market.
Now, the question arises: Are the
legislators Of this country to sit still
and make no move to change the pres
,nt conditions? Putting the sentimen-
tai view aside, and. looking at it as
purely business proposition, they can't
afford to do it.

LONDON, March 14.-The Field, in
commenting upon the announcement
that a crew from Yale University will
compete at the Henley regatta this year,
says the Americans will be greeted with
every courtesy. But the Field adds
that there will be no enthusiasm. The
Field also prints letter in which the
writer deplores international contests,
declaring that few minutes over the
Henley course may do more to promote
international enmity than "all the Mon
roe doctrines" The letter concludes
with many sneers at the Yale men, say
ing among other things: "They could
get no one to row them in America,
therefore they are coming to Henley,
although no one invited them"
