S250,00O.

There was quite little fight over
the question of $25O,OOO for the sewer
age system of Honolulu. This is a
vital necessity to the health of the
city, and as has been pointed out the
health of the city is important to the
outer districts upon the other Islands.
We have gone on in happy go lucky
style long enough, and we must eth
er make a big stride forward or sink
into an apathy which will surely end
in death to many at some future day.
1t is his care for sanitary condi-
tions which gave the Anglo-SaXon his
health in tropical countries. One on
ly has to read the account of Spanish
cities of Cuba and Port Rico to see
what death and disease comes from
unsanitary conditions. San Juan in
Porto Rico stands in an excellent po-
sition, the trade wind sweeps through
it, but the officials for hundreds of
to become contaminated with filth,
and the streets reek with decaying
vegetable matter and the Stops of the
houses, and what is true of San Juan
is true of every Spanish town.
We don't want to be any Spanish
town, whitewashed outside and a sep
ulcher of filth within. We clean our
streets, we try to remove all filth of
back yards, but the time has come
when we should have a system of sew
age. This is a healthy city, we must
keep it so. For such a purpose 1t Is
quite proper to draw bill upon fu-
turity. 1t is a great satisfaction that
a majority of the country members
heartily agree with the city delega-
ton upon the necessity of spending
the money.

The rapid transit stir has brought
fruit and the bill has come out of
committee. This rapid transit matter
is what needs attention very quickly,
for we are in danger of being left to
the tender mercies of the present
tramway system for the next two
years. just how and why the bill
has been held up in lavendar is not
clear to outsiders. but that there has
been some trick played by some one
to defeat a popular movement is very
plain. There is time yet, however, if
the Senate will only put its shoulder
to the wheel.

PHOTOGRAPH THE FOE.

Scientific kite flying has received
much attention in the United States
of late. The main object is meteoro-
logical. ii. II. Clayton of the Blue Hill
observatory, the pioneer of scientific
kite flying, compares our position on
the earth to that of crabs at the
bottom of the sea. We know next to
nothing of what is above us. 1t is
expected that the series of expert
ments now in progress will enable the
meteorologist to predict hot and cold
waves and the various kinds of storms
much more accurately and much ear
lier that is at present done. 1t is
true that we have mountain tops from
three to six miles high, but they are
remote and many are inaccessible,
and the atmosphere is after all mere
ly the crest of the billow of the lower
atmosphere.
out the scientific kite is not only
used for meteorological experiments,
it has been applied to photography for
getting a birds eye view of places.
In this direction either kites or small
captive balloons might be used for
obtaining information of the lay of a
country or the presence of ships in a
land locked harbor, and with all the
ingenuity that has been shown of late

INCOME TAN.

The income tax bill was killed yes
terday in the Senate, but only by the
narrowest of majorities. The vote
stood six to six, and it was only the
casting vote of the president which
threw it out. To those who know the
inner workings of politics and admin
istrative affairs it is perfectly plain
that the same tland which managed
juggle the extra pay of the Ministers,
was the hand which helped to give a
stab to the income tax.
The vote for the income tax in the
Senate stood, few days ago, eight 10
four, leaving the presidents vote out
of the question, which, under those
circumstances, would not have been
cast. 1t was the special pleading of a
high official which brought round two
votes, because like the raising of the
ministers salaries, Schedule L was Il
pet scheme of his, and the income tax
was not. The argument, as reported
to The Star, was not that used by the
opponents in the Senate, who boldly
attacked the bill on its constitutional
ity, and who acknowledged their dis
like to an income tax, but aimed to
defeat it on the purely personal
ground of Schedule i being a pet
measure. And upon the almost pitiful
statement of the case good bill was
defeated, our financial progress was
thrown backward, and a veXatious
schedule kept on the statute book. 1t
was noble achievement and worthy
the mighty intellect that accomplish
ed it, in the manner it was done.
The income tax fight will come up
again and again. In the matter of in
no effect upon us. We can raise tlIr
taxes as our Legislative body may di-
rect. Some people have an idea that
an income tax is unconstitutional In
the United States. Nothing of the
kind. AS n federal tax it has been de-
clared unconstitutional, but no les,
than three states have an income tax
in some form, and its imposition is he
ing strongly agitated in others. The
income tax is therefore no dead ISIS lie
but will come up again with rene we'd
strength under far more popular
vote than we have now, and ole
have become very well educated 70
the fact that the main objection TO
the tax comes from those who either
have or who represent large incom IS.

The Inconvenience of the Senate
upon certain items in Bill 5, salaries
and pay roll, arose in large measure
from the Senators not understanding
upon what grounds the changes had
been made in their sacred figures by
that aggressive and turbulent body,
the House of Representatives. When
the reasons were laid in cogent and
clear-cut terms by Chairman Gear of
the conference committee, and sup
ported in equally clear cut terms by
his colleagues, the reasons became ev-
ident and the Senate committee acqui-
esced in every reasonable desire of the
House. After all the devil is not So
black as he is painted. Indeed there
are some who say that he is gentle
manly fellow.

material differences in different
bureaus; as for instance, in the
Bureau of Water Works, in 1894,
The expenditure was $23,651, and
in 1897, S2O7 900.
Distinct progress has been made
in the economical management of
the Treasury by the gradual re
ducton of interest on all loans
aud advances, showing that though
the bonded debt of the Govern
ment has very materially increas-
ed, aud the Postal Savings Bank
is doug a much larger business
than ever, the total amount paid
in interest by years, beginning
with 1894, has been S211,57I;
$251 $40; 1896, ,459; S243 ,492, for the
years 1894, 1895, 1896 and 1897. This
may be better explained by the
fact that in the year 1894 the total
iuterest-bearing Indebtedness of
the Government was S3,5S5, ,161.,
aud at the end of 1897 the total
interest-bearing Indebtedness of
the Government was "a, ,4SS,SSl,
showing an increase of S903,720.
And the actual increase of interest
paid by the Government, as be-
tween 1894 and 1897, was S31, ,921. |
Could the debt have been refund |
ed in 1896, as was contemplated
at the time by the Government,
the interest actually paid in 1897 |
would have been less than that
paid in 1894. |
In view Of the demand for and |
continued importation of small
coins, the Minister again recon-
mends that the Legislature auth
orize him TO have coined from the
silver rs cent pieces $4,000 in
dimes and $4,000 in nickels.
The old silver certificates to the
amount of S262,500 have been
called in and new ones issued. As
far as is known only S49, 500 of
the old issue remains to be called
for.

THE LOAN FUND.

After recommending that more
of the expenditure now classed
under the Loan Fund be passed
to current account, Minister Da
mon says the payment of interest
is becoming more and more Sc
rious question. AS partial rem
edy an Act has been prepared ano
approved by the Executive and
will be submitted to the Legisla-
ture, with the cl, ar idea that the
time may arise when our
bonds can be placed in foreign
market, but at present this can
not be recommended. 1t is to
prepare for the future the Act has
been drawn. Under this Act all
the outstanding Indebtedness will
be consolidated under one bond
issue. These bonds will be offer
ed to bondholders in the Repub.
lie first at rate of discount some
what in advance of that which
might be obtained abroad but the
saving of commissions and ex-
penses of placing the loan will
compensate the government for
the difference. Ii the bonds are
not taken here, it is the Minister'S
intention to call for public tenders
to float the same.
During the period brought to a
close the outstanding bonds,
treasury notes and Postal Savings
Bank amounts due depositors, has
increased from ,8ll,064.49 to
81, ,4S8 88l .62, showing an increase
of $677,8l7.13. This represents
the total increase, irrespective OF
the cash on hand at the beginning
or the end of The period.
Among the deposits OF the Post
al Savings Bank are some eight
thousand and more accounts of
Chinese laborers brought here
under the Act regulating Chinese
immigration. These deposits are
so foreign to the original intention
OF the Postal Savings Bank
Act, and are accommodating
so rapidly that the continu
ance of the system should i'm
migration be resumed is source
OF apprehension, and the atten
ton of the Legislature will be
specially called to it.
OF the proceeds of land sales
by the Commissioners of Public
Lands, S34,7O0 has been applied
to the redemption of bonds under
the Loan Acts Of 1876 and 1882.
The sum of $32, ,l30.76 remains on
hand until the wishes of the Lee
gislature in regard to refunding
are known.
