been claimed. The figures given above
distinctly prove that.
In conclusion, from these tables we
learn that there are considerable num-
Der Of delinquent taxes, in all S51 ,S74.S2,
or about eight per cent. of the whole
amount assessed. This seems very Sc
rious loss, and the tax collectors should
be very careful to get in the public
funds more nearly to the mark. The
new registration act may be of some as
sistance to them.

According to this, the Island of Kauai
stands second in the proportion of taxes
it pays compared with it's area and pop
ulation. We commend this statement to
the careful consideration of the Hawaii
contingent.
We do not for an instant maintain
that what the Island of Hawaii asks
in the way of roads and bridges is un-
necessary. We have ere now advocated
public works on that Island, and know
that such works, though not directly re-
munerative, would eventually become
remunerative to a very large extent.
What we do maintain is that the Island
of Hawaii contributes nothing like as
large a proportion of the taxes as has

TEMPERANCE COFFEE HOUSE.

1t is reported on very good authority
| that movement is TO be made to es-
| tablish temperance coffee house to be
conducted on somewhat the same plan
| as the coffee palaces" of Australia and
similar organizations in England and
the United States. The object of these
establishments is not only to furnish
place where people without homes
In fact, in many features they are not
unlike the Y. NJ. G. A. or social club,
in that they provide pleasant rooms
where young men, and even those who
can no longer be classed with the youth,
can pass a quiet evening with good
reading and interesting games at their
disposal
There is in every city class of men
who, after their days work is done, are
at loss to know what to do with them
selves. They are not inclined to seek
the Y. NJ. G. A, they don't shine in So
ciety, they keep very much to them
selves, and gradually form an opinion
that nobody has any particular interest
in their welfare, except the man who is
a hale fellow we'll met in the barroom
Thus it is that many an individual
spends his evenings in a saloon when
he would seek better society if it were
put in his pathway.
If it is impossible to do away with the
saloons, it is certainly possible to create
counter attractions entirely free from
the evil influences of the saloon To
make the coffee house a success it
should be kept open until midnight, it
should be managed by people whose in
fiuence for good cannot be questioned, |
and finally, it should have a good, sub !
stantial financial backing at the outset. |
If the restaurant, which is the import |
ant feature of the institution, is not we'll
Up to the mark, the stamp of signal fail
start. There is more truth than poetry
in the old adage that the shortest
course to a mans heart is through his
stomach.
The people of Honolulu have a deserv-
edly good reputation for liberality to-
wards any institution inaugurated to
aise the moral standard of the commu-
lity, and we can see no reason a Ho-
lolulu coffee house should not receive
he hearty support of all those inter-
sted in lessening the individuals in Ho-
ther man gone wrong

The bicycles o Japau.


Edwin Dun. our minister to Japan. says
that the Japanese are not manufacturing
bicycles" said a man who spent a dozen
years IN that country. "and that the much
discussed 81 japanese bicycle Is a myth.
III venture to say. however, from my
knowledge OF the Japanese, that they
VIII soon be making their own bicycles.
When I went to Japan I took my wheel
along with me. This was long before
wheeling had become a fashionable fad
in this country, and I expected that my
appearance on a wheel would create
sensation. / didn't know the japanese
In Yokohama there were fully a hundred
bicycles OF all kinds. Half dozen OF them
were the modern ssfeties that tourists
had left there. and the other were old
fashioned machines that must have been
sold In the United States for junk. There
were a lot Of the old ordinary high wheels
and II was amusing TO see the Japs IN
the flowing robes mounted on these BIZ
cycles and looking very conscious OF the
fact that they were doing something IN
usual Several large consignments of
secondhand wheels reached Japan while
I was there. They were looked upon as
great prizes. During the last year OF my
stay in japan lot OF modern Bicycles
were imported. ard have heard recent
" that bicycles were as common IN japan
as in this country.

Cleyeland,s Centennial.

CLEVELAND, July 22.-The celebra.
ton of the founding of Cleveland one
hundred years ago was commenced at
midnight by centennial salute of one
hundred guns, reinforced by the screech,

The national salute was fired at $50 q.
