Promises Versus Realities.

The proposition that a promise of the
government to pay money is money is
just as absurd as the proposition that a
promise to deliver a horse is a horse,
and yet there are eminent men high in
the public councils who believe that the
United States promissory note is actual
money and that the statute which COM
pels the people to receive it as actual
money is constitutional and ought TO be
continued in force. Hon. John g. Car

managed almost wholly by women,
there being but one man about the
place-a sort of figure head-who Is
termed a warden, a guardian of very
mature years. All the keepers arr
women, under the direction of a mat
ron. 1t is a remarkably well-manageu
prison, of which, consequently, the
world hears very little, and it is AL
economically-managed establishment,
for the convicts do all the work.

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. 1t 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 its 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-
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.

HAWAIT'S CRIMINAL RECORD.

The criminal record shown by
the report of Chief Justice Judd
for the years 1S94-95 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 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 1856 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 1880 Chinese,
2O.11 per cent. have been convicted
of criminal offenses; of the 21,OOO.
japanese, SIT per cent; $4,000
Portuguese, $50; 10000 Hawaiians,
$3.50 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
,235 in the former period to / ,4OS;
an increase of 173. The convictions
have also increased in about the
same proportion. Convictions for
drunkenness have increased over
lS per cent. and rs per cent. of

COMPLETE IN ITS FALSITY.

During the opening hours of the
Legislative session yesterday Sen
ator Brown rose to a question of
privilege and called attention to a
list of names published by this
paper under the words " black list"
Senator Brown expressed the opin-
ion that the course of the paper was
not just, fair or respectful. He
stated that the ADVERTISER was
making an attempt to intimidate
members of the Legislature, who
had not already placed themselves
on record either for or against the
opium license. He also remarked
that the policy of the ADVERTISER
was controlled by those in the en-
ploy of the Government and asked
if the course of the ADVERTISER
met the appreciation of the Govern
ment. Senator McCandless fol-
lowed in the wake of Mr.. Brown in
a more virulent attack on the
ADVERTISER, and went so far as to
announce to the Minister of FL
nance that an official in the finance
department dictated" the policy
Of the ADVERTISER, and to further
ask the Minister of Finance what
he thought of it.
SO far as the use of the words
"black list" is concerned, we do not
maintain that they must remain, if
the Senators feel that they are
to the interests of dis
interested legislation. We regret
very much, however, that it should
have been insinuated that the use
Of those words indicated a course

The Hilo Shoot.

News was received by the Ha-
wall yesterday that after nine men
of the Hilo team had shot in the
match with Company B last Sat-
urday it was found that the score
stood 432. This was very surpris-
ing to Captain Austin who imme-
diately had the target examined.
1t was soon found out that Is and
IS had been made but that the ma
tive marker had been bribed to
paste them up and call the Is and
IS, As and 5s respectively. The
native boy was sharply questioned
about the matter but nothing fur
Their than the fact that he had
been bribed, could be learned.
Captain Austin was hot after the
person, whoever he might be,
wher the Hawaii sailed for this
port. The Hilo rifemen will shoot
over again tomorrow and at that
lime it will be sought to secure
reliable marker.
The Hawaiian gazette., 1896-02-28

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 80
per cent. in two years and Hawai-
ians little over 20 per cent.
The total number of criminal
cases considered by all the courts
during the last period was 1882,
against H. 69 during the previous
period. These criminal cases have
increased a little over two per cent.
While the increase is not 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 people addicted
to dissipation and the use of in
furious stimulants and drugs.
They figure very little in the opium
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 |
of the Government, and,
as remarked by Judge Hardy of
Kauai, ''the burden of calamities
and evil influences, already so
heavy, would be greater than our
weak Hawaiian brother could
bear"
The Hawaiian gazette., 1896-02-28

A MOST significant remark was
passed by the Attorney-General in
the Legislature yesterday when
speaking Of the necessity for an
increased police force on the island
of Hawaii. Referring to the new
population that needed attention,
Mr.. Smith said "If they were
Anglo-S axons with their families
we would not need a police force"
There is a text for a good, whole
some sermon in this one remark.
If some of the economists, who are
so anxious to cut down the police
force, would simply transform their
negative efforts against the police
force into positive efforts for the
increase of the Anglo-Saxon, they
might rest assured that they have,
at least, done one action for the
welfare of their country and their
constituents. 1t is the importation
of intelligent, active Americans into
this country that will help to do
away with the police and hold the
Asiatic in check.
The Hawaiian gazette., 1896-02-28

In rendering decision on a
crime resulting from voluntary in
toxication, court in the District
of Columbia declared, 1T is mex
orably demanded for the protection
of society against lawlessness that
the court should not yield to senti-
mentality anbfollow 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 a weak senti-
mentality, to set a premium on
vice and virtually condone crime
by opening the doors to one of its
allies. The country may
need an opium revenue, but it does
not need and should beware of the
resulting from probable
increase of crime. The honest
thinking people will not condone a
vice that is simply a stepping stone
to the greater degradation of the

Funeral of Palmer Parker.

The funeral services of the late
Palmer Kuihelani Parker took
place at the family residence yes
terday afternoon, the Rev. H. H.
Parker officiating. A quartette OF
singers sang Crock Of Ages" and
Nearer, My God to Thee" The
coffin and the room in which it was
placed were one mass of flowers,
sent in by friends of the deceased.
Upon the piano was a large cross
of red flowers. Violets were strewn

THE PROPER TIME

When the most benefit is to be derived
from good medicine, is early in the
year. This is the season when the
tired body, weakened organs and nerv-
Gus system yearn for a buildingrup
medicine like Hoods Sarsaparilla.
Many wait for the open spring weather
and, in fact, delay giving attention to
their physical condition so long that a
long siege of sickness is inevitable.
To rid the system of the impurities ac-
cumulated during the winter season.
to purify the blood and to invigorate
the whole system, there is nothing

At a meeting of the American
League last night two new mem
bers were elected.
A committee was appointed to
secure, if possible, speakers from
outside the league to make address
ses at an open meeting to be held
in the near future. At this time
there will be formed what is now
spoken of as the Third House,"
composed of the public, which will
have for its work the consideration
of bills, resolutions and other bust
ness before the Legislature. The
public, or the Third House," will
appoint it own speaker at the
meeting designated and. will pro-

Committees will also be appointed.
The matter has been thought by
sound minds to be worthy of con-

has taken it up in a business-like
way, giving every assurance of its

concerted action in voicing its SEN

SINCE some of the residents OF
Hilo are using such strong lam
guage about the amount of public
money they are receiving for
public works, it would be decidedly
interesting to know what proper
ton of the taxes the people of Hilo
and Hawaii pay. Whether their
claims are just or not can be very
easily settled. There are cold, cal
culating figures that tell the whole
story. The Minister of Finance
told the Legislature that every
thing in his department had to be
open to the public, consequently
there must be record of the taxes
paid and money received by the
people of the big island. They
have never offered comparative fig
ures, but they cannot object to the
story being told in black and
white. Let the Legislature call on
