The organ of the opposition has

nobody is to be congratulated on

entitled "The Liquor Traffic in
the Hawaiian Islands from 1870
to 1895" compiled by the Y. NJ. c.

clearly what the liquor traffic has
done for Hawaii, and the author
follows this with some good sug-
gestions as to what should be done
with the liquor traffic in the future.

, coming. week, there are certain
points in connection with the ques
ton which need careful considera
: ton before public expression i
given. These points may be looked
, upon as bugbears, but they arr
, none the less vital to the practica
solution of the problem. There arr
!, cold facts that must be thought of
as well as the moral phase.
In the first place, it must be
remem bered that the presence Of
the women coming under the act to
mitigate is largely a guarantee for
the safety of the respectable women
of this city. 1t must not be
forgotten that we have a
large population that under
certain conditions will become a
dangerous factor from a criminal
as well as a moral standpoint.
Again the sanitary features of the
present act to mitigate must be
given due weight. The report of
the physicians in this respect must
not be overlooked although their
conclusions may be classed by
some people as the thoughtless de-
liberation of men of the world.
Facts must be faced in this matter
and our good citizens should take
care not to prevent a slow, out
practical solution by advancing
theoretical method intended to
stamp out the evil in a day, but
which in its practical working-out
will only make bad matter worse.
What has brought the matter to
public attention is the alarming
increase of prostitution. Let the
first step in the advance of reform
be one which shall put an end to
this increase. To do away with
the evil, to strike at the heart of
the tree of immortality, the reform
movement must begin with an en-
deavor to raise the moral stand
ard. Pass as strict laws as it is
possible to compile, the "social
evil" will not be swept into OBJ
livion until the morals of the lower
classes are raised above the present
standard. The history of every
of this character proves
he truth of this statement. We
must hope for improvement, but
must not expect absolute reform in
| year, or possibly a decade. The
anne rule holds true in this case as
n the prohibition of the sale of
liquor. Laws may be passed, but
.bsolute prohibition will not be
until, by educa ton, the ,
to the use of alcoholic
beverages is no more. Therefore,
We would suggest that the delibera- Z
ions of the public be tempered

paratively short session character.
lied by prompt disposition Of
public measures in a business-like
manner. The time has come when
the country is in a position to in
stitute certain reforms which will
doubtless stir considerable discus
sion and call for careful but deci-
sive action. These matters must
however be faced fairly and square
ly with no attempt at putting off
to some more convenient season.
Among the most important mat
tiers to be brought up early in the
session, by virtue of having been
placed in the hands of special
investigating committees during
the recent special session, are
the proposed changes in the
auditing department OF the Govern
ment, and possible reforms in
the liquor traffic. These are both
measures ofvital Importance to the
Government. The present methods
that obtain in the auditing depart
ment are decidedly crude and in
adequate to a business-like admin
istration of the bookkeeping de-
partment of the Government.
Under the present law the Auditor
General is in no position to fulfill
the duties for which his position
calls. Indications point to re-
commentator from the committee
to institute a warrant system in
the payment of Government bills
and centralizing the bookkeeping of
the various departments under the
of the Auditor-General.
This will undoubtedly be a vast
improvement over the system now
in vogue, and will receive the APP
prevail of the business men of the
country. If, however, a system
which would bring the Government I
more closely to a cash basis could
De instituted, it would meet with
universal satisfaction. L
There is much to be said in con.
nection with the liquor traffic
which is attracting attention I,
lmong merchants of the United
states as well as the people here.

How ard is an Alabamian, his book gave him notoriety, and he was elected to Congress. In his book he charges members of Congress and officers of the Government with all kinds of crime, even attacking the President.
 His picture of Washington makes it a yeritable sink hole of iniquity.

 To Do So Now.

FRANKFORT, KY, Feb. 2l.-In reply to Democratic members of the Legislature who are supporting the caucus nomineefor United States Senator, and who appealed to Secre- tary Carlisle to urge the five Demo- crats who oppose Blackburn to join them in his support, q letter has been received from Secretary Car lisle of which the following is part:
 tInasmueh as the five gentlemen referred to are acting in a represen- tative capacity. and are familiar with the whole situation and all the circumstances connected with it. am bound to assume they are more competent than I am to determine what their duty to their party and to their constituents is and how that duty shall be dis charged, and an attempt by me to influence their action might very properly be regarded by them as pTesumptous interference in mat ter of greatest importance, which has been committed solely to their own judgment; but even if this were not so, have no right to assume that the honest convictions of the five gentlemen alluded to in your communication could be changed by my interference or that they could be induced to act contrary to such convictions by advice which they have not solicited. Having here tofore rendered no advice or made any suggestions, directly or in directly, to any member of the General Assembly on either side of the unfortunate controversy now existing, must respectfully decline to do so now or here after

Here's a High Kick.

Capt. c. T. Robinson says he has a great "kick coming" to him against the municipal authori ties. He says that he objects to paying dollar to some idle scamp to ride one of his delivery horses down to the pound. On yesterday, he says, one of his de- livery horses got out of his lot on Lakeside, and while within fifty feet of his residence, some idle fellow ,anx- ious to make dollar, led or rode his horse down town and put him ill the pound and that he had to pay a dollar to get the animal out. Now, the Captain wants to know how it is that an old COW is allowed to come down town and turn over a barrel of peas in front of his grocery store with perfect impunity, and yet if his horse gets out of his lot and strays fifty feet therefrom that the animal can be impounded. The Captain very justly thinks that this is an outrage" and says that if the city authorities had any higher ann bition than to fleece citizens and property holders, these things would not occur. The Captain is justly in- dignant, and these idle scamps who lay around to prey upon the proper ty of other people should be looked after

 The lecturer then touched up the preachers and churches in a mild manner. After asking if there were any preachers present he declared they ''could never save a soul on an empty stomach" The miracle of Christ on the mountain in feeding a multitude on five loaves and two fishes before He delivered His famous sermon was q recognition of this principle. There is a great deal of gospel in loaf of bread, the lee turer declared. Eight-tenths of the criminals, he went on to say. steal bread. The poverty of the poor as Q cause for crime was forcibly dwelt upon. He gave an illustration of a poor and thinly clad woman enter ing a saloon in an oYercrowded city and purchasing beer because her home was cheerless and she had not enough money to buy fire or light or satisfy the cravings of hungry stomach.
 The speaker then dwelt upon the marriage relation and declared that marriage is the duplicity of man." Marriage is the making of any man worth making" was another declar- ation. His many humorous and happy hits in this connection kept his audience in a merry and hap py frame of mind for some time and evoked storm after storm of ap- plause.
 Dr. Nourse concluded his lecture with the confession of Dr. Jekyll and the death of Mr. Hyde, and illus trated in striking manner how evil eventually overcomes the good in man by Dr. Jekyll being in the end absorbed by MT. Hyde and dying a horrible death.
 Thus concluded one of the ablest lectures ever delivered in the audi torium of the Institute. Dr. Nourse is not only an able and interesting lecturer, but an actor as we'll He both speaks and acts his lecture, and there has not been more de- lighted audience Ut the Institute this season than the large and fash ionable audience that heard Dr. Nourse last night.
