About half-past one yesterday afternoon

himself through the head with a revolver.

the weapon used was revolver. The
bali penetrated the brain, and death was
practically instant.

NUUANU STREAM.

The work that the Government is
doing at the mouth of the Nuuanu
stream is really good. Land, which
was a mere quay mise, is being re-
claimed and will form excellent build
ing ground for the future. Attacks
have been made upon the Superin-
tendent of Public Works because of his
action here, but it only requires an
impartial person to visit the spot and
see what is being done. The work has
necessitated taking off part of the
st. Louis College grounds, but the
Government has given solid ''quid
pro quo" for it. Everyone, who knew
the district before this reform was I'M
dertaken, would be asronished at the
progress made. From a worthless and
pestilent spot the city is going to have
piece of land that will be eagerly bid
for whenever it comes into the market
The change in the part of the town
alluded to will probably have whole
some moral effect upon the Kikihale,
Cape Horn and Japan Sea districts.
AS rule when a district improves it
has its effect upon the surrounding dis
tricts. 1t is not always the case, as wit
ness the juxta position of wealth and
filth upon California street in San
Francisco. There you pass palaces and
shortly after are cheek by jowl with
the slums of Chinatown and the dis
reputable jaunts of Dupont street.
1t seems just supposition, however,
that the new departure at the mouth
of Nuuanu stream will have better
effect than the great houses on Mob
Hill. The new land will have attrac-
lions for men and women who want
homes. People who want homes want
good surroundings for the children
who are to and who will people those
homes. If such a class of people take
up their abode in that district the sly
groggery and other evil places will fit.
The pure and the impure will live to-
gether, but when it comes to a question
OF the children of the pure, the impure
very soon find that they have to take
their walking tickets and seek other
pastures. AS fact the work at the
mouth of the Nuuanu stream is likely
to work a moral regeneration in that
district

BUGS.

What can you make from what you
are doing? 1t is common expression
from the average man or woman. See
a man devoting himself to the study
of beetles-shrug your shoulders and
pass on the other side. See another one
devoting himself apparently to the
mere watching of milkmaid's hands
and laugh at his pure idiocy. The story
is an old one. Few people know what
those about them mean. The man who
studied milk maids hands was Jenner.
and his work robbed smallpox of its
horrors. Before Jenner's time small
pox was as frightful an horror as cho-
lera is today. Calm, careful thought
and that unknown quantity-the X
Ray of mankind-enabled him, in spite
of all opposition to prove his case and
to relieve world from what used to
be calamity. Who of the older gen
erations here cannot remember pocked-
marked people in daily life. Now such
a thing as pocked-marked person is
almost unknown after the modern
methods in use to prevent the disease.
Jenner devoted himself to milk
maids with success. Other people have
devoted themselves in other directions.
The laugh is frequently heard along
the street-'What is the good of pass
ing about this bug or that?" Well, as
a fact, if people did not have some one
who looked after this bug and that the

TEMPERANCE REFORM.

A few days ago there was published
in these columns an article upon this
subject. 1t is very live issue, but I'M
less it is taken up with view now,
it is very likely to share the fate of the
effort of the committee in the last
legislature. In other words it will be
quietly laid upon the shelf.
There are few people but believe that
much good can be done and should be
done in this direction. The evils which
spring from the abuse of drink are as
patent to the man of moderate drink
ing habits as to the total abstainer
What is needed is a union of these
parties and an effort to ameliorate the
condition of affairs. This paper has
advocated for many years some modi-
fication of the Gothenberg system. Like
any other good cause, it is a system
that requires money to back it. What
would the Salvation Army system

denial of millions allows the means for
thousands to work. Thus it is with the
drink question on these islands. To
fairly fight it there must be self-denial
on the part of those interested in put
ting it down. Eventually we may reach
the point when all men will be tenn
perate, but that contamination is as
yet far off. We must educate our he
terogeneous population and gently lead
them in the right way.
The first thing for those interested in
the movement to do is to meet together
and view the matter in a practical light.
The citizens of this city should discuss
the issue and this in no spasmodic
way. There are men who can come for
ward and call such a meeting or series
of meetings. The ways and means to
be adopted should have full discussion,
not only in the columns of the press,
but on the oratorical platform. The
matter only needs a good leader to
take hold of it, and there is no reason
why such steps shall be taken as will
lead to ultimate success.
The Hawaiian gazette., 1896-10-30

The population of the district of
Hilo has been received per Kinau. The
figures as reported, without correction,
are 9065 males and 3799 females, total
of 1864. In 1890, when the last census
was taken, the figures stood 1852 males
and 3073 females, total of $685.. This
is a gain of 1929 in all and of 1903
males and 726 females. In the work
that Mr.. H. c. Austin, the District SUI
perintendent, laid out was plan for
taking the census of what may be call
ed Hilo City. The Town Division in
cludes Kaumana, Piihonua and Keau-
kaha. The total of this amounts to
1896 of whom 1885 are males and 1901
are females. The actual population of
Hilo proper has never before been ar
rived at. 1t is now possible to judge
what Hilo as a city represents. 1t rep
resents 5000 people out of a popula-
ton of 100000 or three one hundred
and tenths of the whole group. 1t GER
tainly manages to make considerable
noise for the size of the place. 1t must
always be remembered that Hilo dis
trict and Hilo city or town are at con-
siderable variance and that the news
paper views are from the town, not the
country.
The Hawaiian gazette., 1896-10-30
FINANCES.

Every now and again some OF the
opposition papers get of some cheap
claptrap about the finances OF this
country. They talk lot of perfect
balderdash, but they please themselves
nightly.
Look back at the year 1895. The di-
rect taxes YIELDED in that year $685.
6s1.92. The customs revenue was s547,-
I49.O4. and other internal revenue pro-
duced $500, 22423, in all 4O,065.19,
and in spite of an epidemic of cholera
and revolution the current expenses
were kept within that income. From
this may be deduced what Minister Da-
mon will be able TO do during this year,
and the next when We are likely to
have either of the unfortunate vista
lions above alluded to.
Already we see the August bills be-
ing paid in October, a month before
they are usually payable. Let the pres
ent system continue and the time will
come when government bills will be
paid monthly. Never at any time in its
history has the Hawaiian treasury
stood on a firmer basis than now.
The position of Hawaiian trade as
shown in 1895 was also remarkably
good. The exports in that year amout-
ed to $S,474 1875 and the imports to
$685., 1884. This certainly shows well
for a country whose total population
is exceeded by dozens of cities in the
United States and elsewhere.
OF these exports 1875, 59O.41 were
credited to sugar; s22,SSS.6S TO coffee,
and s1O2, 1925 to bananas, while pine
apples came in with $S,7S3.S4
OF the imports s4,121, 92O.22 came
from the Pacific ports of the United
States and 1894, 1896 from the Allan
tic ports of the Republic, total of s4,-
516,319.3s, leaving only s1,197 1881
for every nation that the Hawaiian
Islands have commercial relations
with.
Taking exports and imports together,
the business done in 1895 by these
Islands with all its commercial rela-
tions amounted to s14,1SS, 1853. OF
this sum ST., sos, 5OS92 was done with
the United States of America This is
81 per cent. of the whole business of
the Islands. Who can say that the re-
lations of this country with the United
States are not intimately close?
With the financial and business
showing that can be made. with con-
tinued prosperity, and things do look
prosperous, this country will one of
these days form brilliant star in the
crown of Columbia. The star may be
small but it will flash like diamond
of the first water.

taro planter would not have any proper
return for their toll.
The man who peers round and Is
often the butt of the ignorant, is the
man who really puts tens of thousands
of dollars into the pockets of those
who dispise his work and who reap
reward to which they are really not
entitled.
The work that has been done by the
specialist in the matter of fighting the
enemy with his own weapons is really
wonderful. The rose bug is nearly de-
funct and already roses are once more
a marketable commodity. There is dis
tinct hope that Honolulu will once
more become the rose garden it used
to be. And this gain has come because
scientific thought has been brought to
bear upon the subject. Scientific
thought showed the way and scientific
Intelligence has done away with the
past. The worm which threatened the
sugar cane on Kauai is now so thor.
oughly unhealthy that the end is very
near.
Professor Koebele goes soon to the
Coast with the distinct object of get
ting antidotes of rather pests that will
kill our pests. 1t is the principal of set
ting a thief to catch thief. You have
a pest that worries your crops. Along
comes the professor and introduces the
natural enemy of the pest and away
goes the pest. 1t is the natural method
of fighting plague. The ant worm,
numbers of worms and beetles that
prey upon the leaves of our plants are
doomed to extinction, as soon as the
proper antidote can be introduced. The
study of bugs or of anything else that
is properly followed up is of infinite
use to mankind in general. Specialists
are an advantage wherever they may

bers. each of whom get $4,000 a year
Among the Islands are sixty-nine gov
ernorships, ranging in value from 5000
per annum to $4,000.
Then the military come in for theiI
share, commencing from a brigadieI
and staff at 5000 a year, and running
down to cavalry sub-lieutenants al
s145O. which is really modest.
The Church whaeks in nobly with al
Archbishop at $4,000. The salaries Of
the priests attending the Cathedral al
Manila aggregate $4,000 and they are
allowed $4,000 for Expenses. Then there
are four Bishops with salary OF $4,000
year. In fact the state outlay for the
clerics amounted to about s725,0OO.
Is il any wonder that with such
drains upon the treasury the Spanish
Colonies cannot get along.
The mere statement of financial eX-
penditure is however only half the
story. Every governor, every briga-
der. every lieutenant and every bishop
priest and deacon hopes to make, and
probably does make very consider
able addition to his income ION the
outside" Countries governed under
such conditions must be in a chronic
state of revolt.
Think of the advantages that an
Anglo-Saxon civilization prevents as
compared with that imported by the
Latin races. Under the Anglo-Saxon
there is careful administration of pub
lie funds, the expenses of government
are kept down as low as they possibly
can secure the proper performance OF
duty. There is no state support of any
religious body and there is the greatest
freedom to the subject.
Anyone thinking over the subject
will come to the conclusion that the
Anglo-Saxon is a born colonizer while
it is just as clear that the Latin is not.
What would have been the fate OF
these Islands had their civilization
come from Spain instead from the
United States? They would be as far
behind the world as Manila is today
a curiosity to visit and spot to be
avoided ever after. And yet our city
has not even century's life while Ma
Mia dates from 1871. The Anglo-Saxon
shows himself as indeed ahead.
