TEMPERANCE REFORM.

The question of temperance reform
minds of the best thinkers in our COM
munity. The trouble in obtaining some
change in the law is that the eXtrem-
lists ask too much, the moderates don't
like to grant too much, so those sup
porting the present system succeed in
holding the fort That seems TO be
the whole matter in a nut shell, and
was the cause of the committee report
in the last Legislature getting quickly
shelved.
"Festina Lente" wrote to Horace,
near a thousand years ago, and the
aphorism is as true today as when
he penned it in Rome: MAKE haste
slowly" To gain any cause you must
take time Did not Beaconsfield take
time to educate" the Tory party, and
was he not successful in his educa-
tionaI policy?
So must our temperance reformers
make haste slowly, and to gain the
ultimate goal make haste slowly and
educate the heterogeneous population
they have to deal with. H.,
To this end it seems that some of
the experiments. in temperance reform
and not. in prohibition should be stud
led 4st,ss
In Tahiti, somewhere about the ear
ly eighties, this pan was hit upon.
A license, was permitted to all classes
to buy alcoholic liquors at the properly
licensed houses, but it was most strict
in the matter of drunkenness, When a
man was found drunk, the establish
ment which had supplied him with an
overdose of liquor was carefully hunted
up, and when found was promptly
shut up. The proceedings were sum-
mary, the punishment was swift. The
Government tolerated the use of liquor,
but it's abuse was punished with
strong hand. Here we punish the vic
tim, fine him five dollars, and some
times imprison him, while we let the
person who supplied him go scot free.
A far better method than the above
is what is known as the GOthenburg
system. At that Swedish town, in the |
seventies, a crusade in favor of tenn |
perance was started upon a totally diff |
ferent plan to any that had ever been |
undertaken before. The evils of drum |
kenness were recognized to the full, |
but it was just as certainly recognized |
that such evils would not be eradicated
by penal enactment. 1t is as impossible
to make men sober by legislative action
as it is impossible to make them vir-
tuous. This country has seen the truth
of this time and time again. 1t is not
work that is wanted, it
is the organized work of men and
women on practical lines. I
In Gothenburg a band of philanthro-
pists came together, and subscribing 8

BIG BUSINESS IN LONDON.
California Wheat Sells at an Advanced
Price.

Price.
LONDON, Oct. 19.-The financial ar
ticle in the Times says: The receipt
of the cable advices from America
giving the price of wheat caused a
scene almost of CONSERVATION on the
exchange such as is not usually seen
except in war times. A large business
was done, California selling at SO shil-
lings per quarter. Maize and barley
were also in brisk demand. The rise
appears to be due to the sales of Amer
lean wheat for India, which frightened
the spectators a great deal. Cautious
observers think the rise of shillings
per quarter of wheat fully discounts the
effect of the abnormal Indian demand.

THE CENSUS.

The population of the Islands, ac-
cording to the census of 1890, was 49,
991 Practically that is saying that the
population was 80 900. An estimate of
the population, based upon careful OBJ
servation and calculation, was made
short time ago by Messrs. Thrum and
Atkinson, and they produced the fol-
lowing figures:
The Pacific commercial advertiser. [volume] (Honolulu, Hawaiian Islands) 1885-1921, 1896-10-27

Under the last item, Americans and
Europeans, are calculated those ISL
and-born people of foreign parentage.
Since the census returns began to
come in, it is becoming very evident
that this estimate will be considerably
exceeded. Enquiry at the census office
yields the information that the number
of people will most probably reach
10000, a gain of 10000 in six years,
or 22.22 2-9 per cent.
1t is impossible to learn for some
months the proportion OF national1tles,
but the probability is that the increase
over the estimate will be found among
the Portuguese and the japanese. Some
of it may be found among the native
Hawaiians. In the two Konas there
has been an undoubted increase among
pure Hawaiians. The school statistics
showed that at the beginning of the
year 1t is also known that the Ha-
waiian population at Waianae has in
creased. The Census Bureau is at pres
ent at work upon the nationalities in
Honolulu, and there seem to be indi-
cations of an increase of Hawaiians
in the city.
The returns from Hilo, Puma and
Makawao have not come in yet, and
every district has had papers sent back
for correction. The General Superin-
tendent hopes to be able to. give the
totals of the males and females of the
population shortly after the return OF
the next Kinau. For the work to be
done we'll, the greatest care must be
taken, and ample time allowed.

Legal-tender paper money, when it's

did drive legal tender coins, both Of gold

doubt was removed by the final decision
Of our Supreme court. But as soon ss,

certain periods and in certain states they
would command q premium over gold
and silver coins, because they are con-

commercial parity between all descrip-
tions Of money in the United States is
maintained solely by our legal tender
laws. It cannot be maintained in any
other way. We have proof Of this in

The Right Man for the Right Place.

EDITOR ADvoCATE:-While we be-
lieve the entire POpullst ticket is all
right, we are especially pleased with
the name of William Stryker for Su-
perintendent of Public Instruction.
We have been acquainted with Pro.
fessor Stryker for the past four years,
and know him to be one of the best
men in western Kansas. He has done
more from an educational standpoint
for this section than any other one
man. He has made it possible for
hundreds Of yOuLg men and women all
over this country to obtain an educs-
tion who otherwise would not have re-
ceiVed one. 1 hope that the Central
Normal College students, regardless of
party, will rally to the support of our
loved Professor. We know him
to be prominently qualified and
doubly worthy; and remembering the

that he can and will do for the educs.

And he was q school teacher, too.

Of foreign gamblers and domestic trail
