beyond little trifling curiosity, there
is no interest taken in this misfort-
une which has happened to the wha-
lers.
The loss of the whaling fleet i'm 1872
was regarded as national calamity.
and for a year or so there was the
greatest business depression that Hon
olulu ever witnessed. But the Islands
have changed wonderfully since then,
and their dependence upon the wha-
lers has ceased, as New Bedford's de
pendence has ceased. New Bedford
is now a flourishing manufacturing
town. Honolulu's buildings and trade
trade are kept up by sugar instead of
whale oil. So the world changes. It
is constant state of transition 1ut

across some land mark which calls

IMPRISONED WHALERS.

1t is satisfactory to know that the
whalers who are ice bound at Cape
Barrow are in no danger of being
starved. OF the vessels themselves,
there is no telling how many will get
through the winter, but the three
hundred men are all right.
In the sixties and early seventies
there would have been the widest ex-
citement here over these whalers, for
in those days Honolulu depended upon
the whaling industry and large part
of the crews came from the Islands,
or were well known on the Islands.
Now there is a complete change, and

NEW YORK.

The state of New York is congratu-
lating itself upon its abnormally low

rate adopted is 2.OS mills. The esti-
mated revenue which comes from the
corporation, the inheritance. the IL
quor tax and some other sources. is

preparations is $40, sos. so that
there will be a surplus for the state
treasurer to report.
1t is interesting to note that the
state Legislature before adiourning
provided for several Investigations to
be carried on. Two of these are OF
interest to us, viz: The preservation of
the forests. and the best method to
be followed in the employment of
tions are vital ones here. Something
should be done to preserve all our for
ests, but especially should that long
belt of forest be preserved which runs
from kohala and above Hamakua and
Hilo. Then we should do something
towards reforesting certain of our
bare lands.
The matter of the employment of
convicts is another which needs care
full consideration and inquiry. Our
present prison system is unsatisfac-
tory, ably as it is carried on by those
who are in charge. That others find
difficulties in dealing with convict la
Dor only shows how necessary it is
for us to be up and doing in the mat

If war comes about there will be a
great opportunity for testing the
merits of the modern warship. There
are two sides to the question Many
naval men maintain that the modern
war ship is too intricate and that the
explosion of its own guns is likely to
iniure its delicate mechanism. The
only experience upon the point is
the battle of the Nalu, and the de-
scriptions of that go to proving the
case. The theorists maintain, how
ever, that they have evolved the most
effective gun carrying platform afoat.
Nothing but good naval war will
ever decide the question.

but courtesy by the descendants of
the Hidalgos of Spain. The Span
lard has certainly deteriorated from
the courtly and punctilious Don of
Elizabeth's days. He might be cru
ell, he might be treacherous, and he
usually was both, but he had dignified
manners, and he would keep his mob
in order. If the newspaper accounts
are correct the mob got the upper
hand as far as hurting unpleasant ep-
ithets at the departing diplomat and
those associated with him.

TAXATION.

The income tax bill may or may not
pass this session. but its constant APP
pearance among the bills presented
TO the Legislature tends to keep mems
minds alive upon the subject and the
necessity of the revision of our tax
laws
There is no doubt but that the pres
ent system of taxation in this Repub-
lie is. as the committee of the House
said yesterday. unjust, unfair and un-
reasonable The license system is
distinctly unreasonable and unjust,
but all license systems may be re-
garded as unjust. The poor man pays
taxes in higher proportion than the
rich man, and the small landholder
pays to the full while the large one
does not. The poll tax is a relic of
the dark ages. That the big planta-
tions pay their full quota is not claim
ed by their owners, indeed some dis
tinctly say that they do not pay what
they should, but that the law does not
compel them to pay, and until it does,
it would be work supererogation to
pay.
If, as the result of pushing forward
the income tax bill, a commission is
appointed to revise the present tax
system and to report to the next
Legislature, point will have been
gained. What The Star would like
to see is the income tax bill pass at
merely nominal amount, that would
enable the Minister of Finance to cal
culate what he might be able to OBJ
tain from this source and also enable
him to see what other taxes might be
dropped entirely. The license sys-
TEN might be wiped off the statute
book, with the exception of licenses
for liquor, and such trades as the
government must control.
But if this connot be attained the
commission may do much, only the
commission should have far reaching
powers 10 make inquiries and force
answers to its questions when neces-
sary, and it should be equipped with
funds for its expenses. Representa-
tive Pogue's resolution calls for five
thousand dollars; it will hardly be
enough to carry out the work thor
oughly and efficiently. TO have the
work properly done, you must have
good men, and good men require good
pay for their time.
Commissions, when the commissions
ers are unpaid, seldom result satisrac-
torily. The work is done perfunctori-
ly. The men who are persuaded, with
much difficulty, to undertake the
work, feel that they are being impos-
ed and the work suffers in conse-
quence. There must be a distinct
payment to the commissioners and
the payment should be liberal An
efficient secretary would facilitate the
work immensely. \ cheap man
could, of course, be easily obtained,
but such n man is a mere machine.
The secretary should be an eXcep-
tionally good man, who has given at
tention to such matters, and who will
give more. He should be posted up
on taxation matters and be compe-
tent to acquire more knowledge.
There is much to be learned from the
study of the taxation in other coun-
tries. If we have a change, let us
change to the very best methods that
we can possibly reach, and we can
only do that by expanding a little
money to buy us a good article of
brains.

that it is 500 miles from the outside islands
