1T WAS A DULL SESSION.
LITTLE BUSINESS OF INTEREST WAS TRANS
ACTED AT Yesterdays MEETING OF
THE BOARD OF ALDERMEN.

Outside Of routine business there was little OF
interest at the meeting Of the Board Of Aldermen
yesterday afternoon. In view of the fact that Dis
tric-Attorney Backus Is without funds to carry on
the prosecution Of criminal cases. Alderman Ol-
trogge introduced a resolution providing that *o'
be transferred from the premium account to the
contingent fund Of the Dstrlct-Attorney's ONCE.
Alderman Guilfoye contended that there was no
such fund in the Treasurer's office as premium
fund. 1t was agreed by the Aldermen that Mr..
Backus needed the money. but they were not sure
from what fund 1t should come, and the resolution
was referred to the Committee on Law.
Alderman Otrogge also introduced resolution
recommending the Controller to provide means for
paying city laborers who receive less than 81 80 q
day at the place where they are employed. In ex-
planning the resolution the Alderman said that
under the present mode Of distributing wages the
workmen were either obliged In most cases, to lose
a half day in going downtown to cash their war
rants. or else were compelled to have them cashed
In a nearby grocery or liquor store-generally the
latter place. The result Of this was unfortunate.
for almost Invariably the holder OF the warrant
compelled to pay from so cents to 81 to the pro-
prietor In order to receive the accommodation The
resolution was adopted.
Alderman Francisco offered a resolution providing
that electric plant be installed In the basement
OF the Court House for furnishing lights for the
Court House. the Hall Of Records and the Municipal
Building The called for a reference to the
Court House Committee with instructions to report
to the Board OF Aldermen. Another resolution by
Alderman Francisco provided that railway com:
panes in the city shall not be allowed to extend
their tracks in any street without first having au-
thority from the Board to do so. This resolution
also adopted.
The Board before adjourning decided to have the
flags raised all public buildings on April %. the
day of the unwilling Of the Grant monument.
The following resolution. presented by Alderman
Haubert, was adopted result Of a conference
between Mayor Wurster and Controller Palmer and

In rendering a decision on a
crime resulting from voluntary in
toxication, a court in the District
of Columbia declared, ''It is mex
orably demanded for the protection
of society against lawlessness that
the court should not yield to senti-
mentality and follow judicial utter
ances which set a premimm on
vice by conformation of crime re-
sulting from reckless habits" The
people of this country have been
requested to yield to weak senti-
mentality, to set a premium on
vice and virtually condone crime
by opening the doors to one of its
strongest allies. The country may
need an opium revenue, but it does
not need and should beware of the
expenses resulting from a probable
increase of crime. The honest
thinking people will not condone a
vice that is simply stepping stone
to the greater degradation of the
Hawaiians.

WANTS ALL THE GLORY.

1t is said that the United States
Congress has found the cooperation
with President Cleveland on mat
tiers of foreign policy is impossible.
An exchange says: 'The Senate,
in particular, is completely out Of
touch with his views, and has been
since the present administration
began. 1t favored Hawaii; he OPP
posed it. 1t sympathized, though
by no formal expression, with
Nicaragua in the contention at
Corinto; the President refused to
speak, and British troops were
landed. It started in to back him
up in the new assertion of the
Monroe doctrine, he, through Mr..
Smith of New Jersey, promptly
took issue with it's deliverance.
The Davis resolution was pro-
nounced extreme and untimely.
Its passage will be unwelcomed to
the President. The Senate gave
cordial approval to the Armenian
resolutions; the President, it is
said, will not forward them to the
European powers. And so now in
this Cuban business. The Senate,
if it could, would grant belligerent
rights to the insurgents at once;
the President shows no such dis
position" The cause of the Presi-'
dents action is said to be his unwill-
ingness to allow Congress to share
in whatever glory may attack for
eign dealings of the United States.
The bulk of the glory must be his
or there will be no glory at all.
From the outcome of several of his
strokes of foreign policy, it is quite
natural that even the men Of his
own party should turn all the
glory upon his shoulders.

MINISTER DAMON has shown
himself thoroughly capable OF max
ing both ends of the Government
finances meet under any and all
circumstances, but from the bills
now being brought before the Leg
islature it would appear that he
has no intention of allowing the
possibility of temporary financial
embarrassment. The measures
being pressed by the Minister of
Finance are in the line of sound
financial policy that will give
assurance of the Government meet
ing its obligations under all cir
cumstances.

HAwAIPs/ CRIMINAL RECORD.

The criminal record shown by
the report of Chief Justice Judd
for the years 1894-95 gives many
interesting points on the general
morality of the nation. This rec
ord unfortunately does not show
that crime is on the decrease in
Hawaii although, as compared with
the statistics given recently regard
ing crime in the United States, we
have reason, on the whole, to con-
graduate ourselves as a law abiding
community.
The Chief Justice gives the num-
Der of arrests for the last biennial
period as 1870 with 1878 convic-
tons; an increase of 1875 convic-
tions over the last period. The
cause of the increased convictions
the Chief Justice attributes in part
to the increased vigilance of the
Police department. The Increased
number of convictions for gam
bling alone is 1853, which in
measure accounts for the unusual
gain. In estimating the population,
arbitrary figures are taken which
are doubtless more nearly correct
than the figures given in the CEN
sus of 1890. OF the 1850 Chinese,
20.11 per cent. have been convicted
of criminal offenses; of the 81 900
Japanese, SIT per cent; $4,000
Portuguese, $50; 10000 Hawaiians,
6.96 per cent. and of $4,000 coming
under the head of other rationale
ties, 5.73 per cent. have been con-
victed. In every nationality ex-
cept the Portuguese, there has been
an increase of criminals. Among
the last named there has been
a decrease of thirteen.
In sitting down the criminal
offenses it is found that gambling
has been on the increase particular
ly among the Asiatics. Arrests for
opium selling, importing and hav-
ing in possession have risen from
1885 in the former period to 1 ,408;
an increase of 173. The convictions
have also increased in about the
same proportion. Convictions for
drunkenness have increased over
Is per cent. and rs per cent. OF
these convictions were obtained In
the District Court of Honolulu.
The Chinese appear to be the only
nationality not addicted to drunk
enness. All other nationalities
show an increased record of de-
bauch. Drunkenness among the
japanese has increased nearly so
per cent. in two years and Hawai-
ians little over 20 per cent.
The total number OF crimina
cases considered by all the courts
during the last period was 1882,
against II 500 during the previous
period. These criminal cases have
increased a little over two per cent.
While the increase is not a large
one or particularly alarming, it is
very easy to note in which direc-
ton the weaknesses of the Hawai-
ians tend. OF the 1880 convicted
for drunkenness, 974 were Hawai-
ians. They are a people addicted
to dissipation and the use of in
furious stimulants and drugs
They figure very little in the opium

Imagination and Truth.

Imagination has a lot to do with
some peoples purchases. For in
stance, in buying beer they imagine
that one beer is the same as another.
They might as well imagine t at all
persons are exactly alike; that would
not change the truth any To put ii
briefly, you had better let some one
else do the imagining; see to it that
YOU get the best and purest and in
that way your health will not be apt
to suffer. You will make no mistake
by drinking Seattle beer, which can
be had at the Criterion saloon.

transactions because the high price
of the struggled drug is an effec-
tive barrier. But once license the
drug, give the Hawaiian to under
stand that its use meets with the
approval of the Government, and,
as remarked by Judge Hardy of
Kauai, 1.-The burden of calamities
and evil influences, already so
heavy, would be greater than our
weak Hawaiian brother could
