The Town Hall.

The Town Council invites plans
and specifications for new Town
Hall, but they do not mention
what it is 10 cost. The sum Of
$4,000 in cash was received from
the insurance of the former Town
Hall. When that building was
completed, an entertainment was
given to help defray the expense,
which Melted the magnificent sum
Of $515 80, and we believe this
amount, If not more, can be raised
by a series Of entertainments, and
there is a good cash balance in the
town treasury, part Of which, at
least, can be devoted for this pur-
pose, as every town is expected To
provide its municipal authorities
with Council Room and Mayors

All things considered, we think
the Council can safely take into
consideration the plans of Town
Hall to cost about $4,000

CUSTOMS STATISTICS.

The trade showing of the year 1898,
as displayed by the figures published
in Saturdays Star are very satisfacto-
ry. With exports amounting to $17,-
346, 744.79 and imports amounting to
$11, $50, S90.S1, our trade condition is by
no means dispicable; there stands
surplus of over five and a half millions
to the credit of the country.
The increase of imports during the
year has amounted to $3,96S, 262.72, of
which increase $1,S95, $500, or very
nearly 80 per cent, is credited to the
United States, and the rest is distri-
buted among eight specified countries
and one miscellaneous head. The
showing does away with the story that
such vast quantities of goods, amount
ing to millions, We're being rushed into
the Islands under the present tariff for
reshipment to the United States. OF
course when the detailed statement of
the custom house is published a COM
parison can be made in the classes of
goods imported, at present the figures
available are only those which deal
with the trade in bulk 1t will be
found on analysis that the statement
made in The Star month or so ago,
that the main increase in the imports
from Great Britain and Germany con-
sisted of machinery for the new planta-
tions, the orders for which had been
placed before annexation had become
an actual fact. There is an increase in
the trade with China and also with ia
pan, but it is not abnormally large, in
the one case $6S,0OO, in the other $62, OOO
so that no large amount of goods has
been rushed" in to avoid the United
States tariff and then be sent to the
mainland as soon as the tariff was ap-
piled here. There has in this matter
been a considerable cry and apparently
not a large yield of WOOL However,
the actual facts will be available in
short time when all the figures are pub
lished.
Hilo and Kahului are doing far more
direct expectation than they have ever
done before, which of course tells up
on the total of exports from Honolulu,
but the decrease in Honolulu does not
by any means account for the whole of
this increase. The output of the land
behind these two ports has increased
immensely for while the decrease in
Honolulu exports amounts to $4,000,
the increase in the two ports mention

The arrival of the Oregon in our wa
tiers is an interesting event. She is a
ship that belongs to the Pacific, was
built on the shores of this great ocean
and is the special pride of every west
erner. Quite early in her career she
has made magnificent record for her
self The celebrated voyage from San
Francisco to the West midas was in
itself a feat, and her glory was crown
ed by the magnificent work at the San
tiago sea fight. And now she is once
more in her own ocean, ploughing her
way to join the gallant Dewey, IN
whatever he may call upon her to do.
1t is an honor to receive call from so
celembrated a vessel, and there is no
fear that the citizens will not duly sig
Nifty their appreciation.

FREE MEDICAL ATTENDANCE.

In the case of a Portuguese who was
injured while working on the Kamana
road, Hilo, it seems hard that he should
not have free medical attendance. But
Hilo is no worse off than any other
part of the Islands. The Legislature
appropriated at it's last session $780, 900
for the pay of government physicians,
and $4,000 for medicines, or 900 in
all. Each government physician is al
lowed to conduct private practice and
several of them obtain a regular salary
from the plantation, near which they
may be located. The theory generally
received is that gratuitous service
should be given to Hawaiians only, a
thoroughly incorrect theory, since the
bulk of the taxes comes from other
nationalities. While some of the gov
eminent doctors are very conscientious
there are others who look purely to
their own interests and do as little as
they can for the salary received.
Again there is a hospital in Hilo, to
which a case like that given in O.'s
letter might be sent, and as the gov
eminent gives the place support, there
seems no valid reason why a man who
! is injured in government employ should
| not be cared for. If there are govern
ment physicians and government hos
pitfalls it does not seem the right thing
that a pennyless day laborer should be
practically barred from care, because
he cannot get free attendance, for it is
very evident that to such a man a fee
of $50 is probisitory.
AS a mere matter of economy, apart
| from all ideas of humanity, which, for
the sake of argument, it may be as
sumed that governments do not pos
sess, it is much better to try and cure
| a laboring man, than to leave him un-
cured, to become a public burden.
The time is probably approaching
when much of our Capitalization will
disappear, and when we shall have To-
cal boards which can readily look into
matters of this kind. The Board or
Health with it's multifarious duties has
not time to look into a case of this kind
any more than it has to see after the
fact that thirtytwo people died in the
district of Honolulu unattended by any
physician, and that twelve deaths oc-
CURED the causes of which were I'M
known. 1t is not a very creditable
showing for the Board of Health, and
there are no signs of amendment

ed is over $1,SSO,OOO of which Hilo can
claim about 81, $4,000 for her share.
Our total sugar exports have in
creased by one and quarter million of
dollars, and we can look for a consid-
cradle increase in the coming season.
but the export of rice has fallen off
from value of $225,575.52 in 1897, to
$149, PISA in 1898. Coffee on the other
hand has gone up from value of $780,
696.62 in 1897 to $115,944.S9, and next
year ought to see very substantial
tpcrease. But it will take many a long
year before coffee can become anything
like the staple that sugar is. The fall
ling off in rice exports may be attri-
buted to the increased consumption of
that article of diet, owing to the num-
Der of new plantations which have
been started in various parts of the
group. ., ....
During the year 1898 the population
was increased by immigration by close
on to 10000 souls. In 1896 the popula-
ton, according to the census was 109,-
900. Taking the increase by immigra-
ton and the increase by births, and it
will not be very far amiss to estimate
the population of the Islands at $780,
900, with a healthy out look of increase
by birth in the future.
There are many questions involved in
the custom house statistics which are
of immense interest to the general
public. Mere figures are not of much
interest, but the comparison of figures
with those of former years, and the
deductions which can be drawn from
the hard statement of facts are of the
very greatest interest. AS soon as the
full figures are available many more
points with regard to our economic po-
sition can be dealt with.
1t is satisfactory to see, at the first
glance, that the country is advancing,
not retrograding, and that it's pros

ceedingly brilliant.

The advice of The Star to study the
history OF silk culture in California,
has called forth a letter from c. Il.
Dickey advising prospective raisers to
study the history here. The expert
ment has been made comparatively re-
Gently on the Island of Molokai, and
it has been given up as a bad job.
Otto Meyers, to wkhom Mr.. Dickey al
ludes, is a thoroughly practical and a
most Industrious man. If there was
failure, it would be neither due to
carelessness nor to lack of what CAPT
tai might be necessary. 1t is no use
for people to rush blindly into any lit
tie industry and then find that there is
nothing in it. 1t discourages them and
makes them dissatisfied The Star
would be only too glad to see the silk
industry a success, but it feels justi-
fed, under the circumstances, in issu-
ing a word of warning.

very start. Life without announcements
would be a barren desert. They communi-
cate to Us in curious and out of the way
ways, coming from experience, through
signs and phenomena. Columbus found
these hints and signs coming up TO his
Imagination ont of the past, and he took
them as an announcement and went on his
way. investigating and finding and discoy-
ering new world. When Abraham Lin
coin took the pen to sign his name to
document which proclaimed freedom and
equality TO all mankind the announcement
of his thoughts went abroad everywhere.
Announcements are the teachers of man
kind. Careless life pays no attention TO
announcements, and it is these that are
unsuccessful in this life.
Another element is the acceptance Of
announcement. The shepherds wished to
verify the announcement. and investigated,
thereby accepting the message. Life must
have this element in a degree. Accept the
message intelligently and freely and start
out in life. Abraham had a message, tell
ing him to start out in life. He started
and through this announcement and ac-
ceptance his life became the greatest the
world has ever seen. There is no secret
or mystery surrounding this theory, Life
is full Of announcements; all we must do
is to accept them freely and intelligeatly,
it makes life grand, useful free. We need,
in the present age, so full of innovations,
commerce and literature to remember al
least once a year the announcement Of the
angels, that Christ is come. Get up out
of your Indifference, go to see and to hear
the message of Christ's birth. That's the
sum and substance of our Christmas. Life
finds sweetness. consolation. and hope in
the announcement, Christ is born unto the
world "
