WILL WIPE OUT SALOONS
Retail and Wholesale Liquor Houses
in Washington Shut out.

Olympia, February i6.-Washington Is
on the verge OF wiping out all Of her
saloons and wholesale liquor houses by
adopting a pgohibitory law similar TO
that governing the sale of liquors in
the state Of South Carolina.
The dispensary law. known as the
Cline bill. passed the house today BY
a vote OF a ayes To 80 nays, much 10 the
surprise OF the ho'lss itself The meas
ure was supported by nearly all OF the
middle-of-the-road populists and by
a few silver republicans. The proposed
law puts full control Of the liquor traf-
fic IN the hands of the governor. but
eliminates from the South Carolina law
the profit system which brings that
state an enormous revenue. The gov
ernor appoints the state commission'
which in turn appoints the county COM
missiorers and they IN turn appoint
local dispenssas all liquors being han
died through the state commission. with
sufficient profit attached to pay all the
expense OF the different boards and
dispensarles. No liquor is sold at retail
10 be drunk up~1 the premises, and
minors or drunKlkrGS are prohibited un-
der penalties sx.aEIst the state agents
from receiving It, II Is sold only in
quantities not less than half pint nor
more than five gallons. The Ir0moters
are now confident the measure VIII
pass the senate.
The entire morning session Of the
house was devoted TO the considera-
ton of the bill for the constitutional
amendment to submit the initiative and
referendum system for the control of
elections. but was passed with much
populist enthusiasm.

Themselves at the New Pavilion
Prof. D. NJ. Bristol makes his bow
this evening before as many Of us as
can crowd into his handsome new
pavilion on the corners of Alakea
and Beretania Streets.
His wonderfully educated band
OF extremely intelligent horses,
ponies and mules have been received
with the highest terms OF praise in
all parts Of the United States and
elsewhere.
Prof. Bristol has reared them 10
their present perfection through a
kindly heart and affectionste treat
ment, ever watchful of their comfort
and their natural instincts and
ripening intelligence.
If only one-tenth part Of the fiat
tering enconiums used by the for

we are on the eve of most charm
ing and interesting entertainment
for this evening Honoluluites,
however, generally judge for them
selves, and we shall know to
night how far the colts inclination
has been bent to educate the horses

BEHIND THD VEIL

The INDEPENDENT has modestly
waited for days in the expectation
that the self constituted organs OF
Church and State in Hawaii would
undertake the task which is pecu-
liarly theirs, l. e., the warning against
vice in all its hydra. headed forms.
The excuse for the being OF this
"funny little republic" has been
trumpeted to the world by its sup
porters that the monarchy had be-
come corrupt and vicious. To-day,
under "the best government these
islands ever had," the tongue OF
scandal is wagging openly and
audibly throughout the city, attack
ing individuals connected with
churches, the Young Mems Christian
Association and the Executive Build
ing, but not one word have we heard
from the Press that for political
purposes assailed the character OF q
Queen and her people. Can it be
that for the same purposes the
tongues Of the super-virtuous press
are paralyzed?

introducing such wholesome and re-.
freshing beverages.

opportunities afforded by his Office
for the most corrupting forms of
