New York April 27.-Marine insur-

day. British companies have increased
the rates on American bottoms so per
cent. They now charge a premium of
l0h per cent for long voyages and in
some cases as high as per cent for
transatlantic voyages. This advance In
the rates is said to have been made on
account of the uncertain position of
the Spanish navy and of the fact of

inability to retain food or to digest
it. 1t may mean nausea, pain after
eating, fullness, inordinate craving

SAILOR WELLS.

When Sailor Wells jumped into the
torrent of the Nuuanu stream yester-
day afternoon he did heroic action,
and he should be rewarded. by the
townspeople for his gallantry. True
that men do these actions with no de-
sire or hope of reward, but none the
less should others show their appre-
citation when a man risks his life for
a fellow creature and strives. though
vainly. to save him from death.
1t makes one think better of hui
man nature when one sees how unset
fish and how brave it can be under
certain circumstances There is prob
ably as much heroism shown in civil
liam life as ever there is in military
life, but the action takes place on "a
minor stage.
Exactly what form the reward
should take is difficult to say. The
Star would suggest medal and a sum
of money. and is ready to receive sub
scriptions from this day.

A Blue Streak.

This is an old expression,
going like blue streak. :"
The Tribune bicycle people
have taken it up and are
manufacturing a bicycle by
that name. 1t is all that it's
name implies, being painted a
bright shade of blue, and so
easy to run that the rider
looks when passing like a
blue streak.
We received a shipment of
them by the last steamer, and
they are now ready for in
spection and sale. They come
in three models for ladies and
gentlemen at $65, $85 and
800. 1t is not necessary to
reiterate what the good points
of the Tribune wheels are.
Every bicyclist knows that
they are a standard make and
one Of the best wheels ever
put upon the market. They
will stand more hard usage
and more rain and mud than
any other make.
Our stock of TRIBUNES
is complete. We have them
in Black, Blue and in Black
Striped with Gold.
kWhile we advise all custom
ers to pay little more money
and get a standard make, yet
for those who do not wish to
put so much money into a
wheel we have imported a
Columbus wheel, ladies' mod
ell, and a Jimmy, mans mod
ell, which we can sell you at a
much lower price. They are
very good wheels, strong, and
made Of good material.
1t costs nothing to call and
look over our stock and we
are always pleased to show
you what we have on sale.

THE STORM.

The storm of yesterday was phe-
nominal. The last occasion when ii
food of similar dimensions rolled
down the Nuuanu stream was in April
1881. On that occasion the stream
jammed up above the second bridge
and burst through the wall and ran
down Nuuanu valley road about three
or four feet deep. spreading out grad
ually and losing itself. This occurred
about o'clock in the morning. The
lower part of the stream did not,
however, rise as it did yesterday, due
probably to its then having its natur-
al outlet. instead of the present re-
stricted one.
1t is very difficult for people to re-
alize what torrent the Nuuanu
stream can pour down at times. the
occasions are rare, but rare as they
are. they should as far as possible be
provided for. The same thing is true
upon the other Islands. Over and over
again valuable bridges have been
washed away because engineers could
not understand that conditions occur
totally different to normal conditions.
The bridges across the lower part of
Nuuanu stream yesterday barely stood
the strain, and a very little more
would have sent their timbers hurt
ling into the waters of the bay. How
ever, they are unlikely to be put
again to so hard trial but it would
ton of the work recently done at the
mouth of the stream. and a decision
arrived at as to whether it has been
of advantage or not.

THE LICENSE ACT.

Another days debate in the House
upon the subject of licenses, only EN-
phasiz,d what IA clumsy method of
raising revenue this system is. Do
you are bound to injure some one.
An effort was being made to regulate
the milk license. At the present time
the license to sell milk is twenty
five dollars in Honolulu. The combi-
nation of dairy men hold one license.
A man who has half a dozen COWS has
to take out exactly the same license.
After all, why should the sale of milk
be licensed at all? 1t is one of the
necessaries of life. Upon pure milk
depends the lives of young children
and very old people. AS was very CO.
gently pointed out by some speakers
why give relief to the druggists in the
shape of RENTED duty on alcohol,
and tax the dairymen for home pro-
duct? OF course the speaker lost
taxed for the past two years, and that
the object of the amended bill was to
give relief to the sells of milk who
had only few COWS. But it is ever
thus under license act; you cannot
give relief in one place without doing
injury in another.
\ curious anomaly cropped up In
the matter of licenses to import live
stock. According to the license act
of 1896 every one engaged in such
traffic had to take out a license fol-
which $3.50 was to be charged. Or
examination it was found that no Ii
cense had been taken out under this
head, and yet any quantity of live
stock had been imported. This aros,
from the fact that no penalty hac
been attached to the section. and as
consequence the importers could sim
ply smile at the authorities, and bring
in their live stock free of charge, t.
The Hawaiian star. [volume] (Honolulu [Oahu]) 1893-1912, 1898-03-25

the detiiment of the stock rasers in
this country.
1t is perhaps idle to deprecate the
license system. 1t belongs to the dark
ages of taxation, and as was said yes
terday, violates the first cannon of
the tax theory, which advocates the
collection of taxes with as little frlc-
ton as possible. \ law which taxes
a lodging house keeper with half 1t
dozen boarders fifty dollars a year for
the privilege of earning bare liveIl-
hood and allows a man with an in
come of from five to ten thousand a
year to get off with from ten to ff-
teen dollars of taxes is bad one.
In cropping towards the light every
thing under the sun has been taxed.
In France there was a tax on salt, be-
cause everybody had to use salt. In
England they had a tax on fresh air,
or what was equivalent to it. for
they had what was called the window
tax. which was levied upon each win
dow in house. The consequence was
that people blocked up their windows,
and did with as few as possible. Thir-
ty years ago there were still old hous-
es in London where every other win
dow was a sham. The brilliant states
man who invented the tax considered
it was an easy tax to collect because
windows could be readily counted.
The modern theory of taxation de-
sires to equalize the burdens. It even
goes further and relieves the poorer
classes of taxation entirely. No man
has done more in his time for reliev-
ing the working men of fiscal burdens
than William Ewart Gladstone. I'm
less a working man in England drinks
or smokes, he does not contribute one
farthing to the revenue of the coun-
try. We should strive to follow in the
course of this great statesman, howev-
er far behind we may come.
An effort is being made to put the
taxation of the country upon a sell
sible and scientific basis through an
income tax, but the effort, like all re-
forms, is meeting with bitter opposi-
ton. Those who complain of the IL
cense laws. who find injustice in them
who are cramped and crippled by
them, should give strong support tc
