Change in Revenue Cutters.

The Treasury Department has order
ed a change in the exterior appearance
of the vessels of the revenue service.
These vessels have been distinguished
by black hulls, white deck houses and
black stacks. Under the new order of
things they will appear with white
bulls, with black strakes and yellow
stacks. Their general white appear
ance will give them a resemblance in
miniature to Uncle Sans warships,
which similarity will be increased
when the officers and men appear in
their new summer uniform of white
duck-Washingto Star.

THE LOAN BILLS.

In this issue a correspondent
gives an opinion on the loan bills
which concentrates the views of
leading financiers and other
thoughtful persons who have ex-
pressed themselves upon the sub
iect. This country is rich enough
to carry its own government
through financial straits. A loan
raised at home will keep the
interest at home and, when its re-
demption falls due, the principal
will be repayable at home. Thus
the transaction would be largely
freed from the most trite objection
to national borrowing, that it n.y.
pothecates the resources of pos
terity to meet present emergen-
cies. On the contrary, it would
seem rather to be conserving the
prosperity of the present for the
benefit of posterity. A national
loan abroad, there is no use in
shutting our eyes to the fact,
would be an extra. territorial
mortgage on the country.
Evening bulletin. [volume] (Honolulu [Oahu, Hawaii]) 1895-1912, 1896-04-03
FIRE ALARMS.

it has been announced that fire
alarms are to be given with the
whistle of the Hawaiian Electric
Company's works instead of the
bell on the central fire station.
OAe of the reasons is that the
bell tower is through age so weak
that it may give way under the
vibrating bell. There is really no
need for any public alarm with a
paid fire department always ON
watch, excepting when Il fire threat.
ems to get beyond the control of
the department. The cIang and
the rattle of the fire apparatus
coming into neighborhood afford
all the alarm to its inhabitants
which is required to inform
them of danger to their persons
and property. Not one in
thousand of the people of Homo
lulu, probably, keep the numbers
of the wards in their heads,
so that the ringing or
footing of these is no effective
publication of the locality of a
fire. Public alarms at night are a
disturbance of the quiet which is
unnecessary, and in daytime
cause an interference with bust
ness and a decentralization of the
telephone service, from the time
of the first sound until Central"
is enabled to tell the l001th in
quirer as to both the place and
the progress of the fire that it is
"all out" Crowds at fire are an
impeachment to the firemen when
they are easily able to control the
flames without assistance, and if
fire is getting beyond their control
they will not be long without out
side help, in most cases even al
though a general alarm is not
sounded. The advance and the
attack on formidable blaze, as
already intimated, will make noise
enough to arouse large neigh.
borhood, and with all the tele-
phones that Honolulu possesses
