DIR. K1NYouN,s RULING.

We cannot understand the course of
DIR. Kinyoun, the Federal quarantine
officer at San Francisco, if he is cor
rectly reported to have given an order
that all vessels arriving at that point
from these Islands shall be subject to
quarantine inspection on account of
the plague. That there is no plague in
Hawaii ought to be well-known to DIR.
Kinyoun who received an official no
LITIGATION that the bubonic quarantine
had been raised on the last day of
April after thirty days cessa ton of
cases and who must share the official
knowledge of his local co-laborer, DIR.
Carmichael, that there has been no re-
currence of the malady.
Very likely the enemies of DR.. Kin
yOun, in San Francisco, who are legion,
have misrepresented him. He has per-
haps ruled that ships from the outlying
territories where peculiar conditions
prevail and with which there is no ca
bic intercourse, cannot safely be given
the immunity from quarantine visits
that is enjoyed by mere coasters. We
believe that this rule is applied to ships
entering Mainland ports from Cuba
and Porto Rico. To be sure the polti-
cal relations of those Islands with the
United States are not SO intimate as
ours, but when did intimate political
relations ever ward off disease? Chol-
era might break out here today and
infect some vessel leaving for San
Francisco this morning. AS DR.. Kin
youn could not be warned of the dan
ger by cable, it would be his moral
duty and probably his legal duty to
board the ship on arrival and find out
its condition and ours before allowing
the passengers to go ashore. If he did
not take this course what safeguards
would San Francisco have against a
very possible calamity?

The prophets are with us. DIR. Max
Muehlenbruch, who foretold the de-
struction of the Maine and several 9TH
er things, has the following of local
nature: Hawaii will be as closely con-
nected with California as New York
now is. The year 1901 will see the time
of steamship transit between foreign
countries greatly decreased. There Will
be daily trips between San Francisco
and Honolulu" Daily trips are trifie
too many TO expect even with the word
of prophecy behind them. Honolulu
will be well enough pleased If it can
be sure of weekly ones.

ADVERTISERS NEWS
OF TEN YEARS AGO

Ten years ago today the Advertiser pub
lished but a few columns of news The
fever for knowledge of current events
had not reached Hawaii then. Kalakaua
was on the throne and the tide of immi-
grafton had not yet set toward Hawaii
with much strength. Today the Adver-
tiser covers the local field as thoroughly
as do the great journals of the Mainland
and presents the news of all the world
when steamships bring the dispatches.
1t is interesting to kamaainaS and to
newcomers to contrast the happenings of
e. decade ago with those of the present.
Below the Advertiser gives the news of
July %. 1890. as set down in this paper:
Steamer Hawaii returned from the Mo-
lokai Leper Settlement at $3.50 p. M, hav-
ing on board the Legislative Committee
appointed to investigate the settlement.
Medical Inspector Woods of the u. S. +.
s. Charleston stated he had visited the
place fourteen years before and consid-
cred the improvements made since then
We're wonderful The people were treated
in the most generous manner. He was
pleased with the excellent conduct of
the settlement
/ Mr.. Justice Sanford B. Dole sentenced
Lui, New Hebridean, who murdered
Charles Hiram, to hang on the first We'd
nesday of November, 1890.
The House adjourned after being called
together at 10 a.
Herbert Adams, Ph.D, publishes a let
ter inquiring whether ostrich farming
would pay on Oahu. He thought they
would thrive better in Oahu than in Cali
fornia.
Editorial on clipping from New Zealand
paper, relative to the withdrawal of the
subsidy for mail service between San
Francisco and the Colonies on account OF
New South Wales refusing to join in the

Premier, he said: Il cannot however
believe that We are likely to be Ions
without a good steam service between
Auckland and San Francisco
Rumors reached Marshal Hopkins thai
a number of men-of-war's men belonging
to the flagship Charleston would "do up

HAWAIIAN REVENUES.

Under the caption, Governing in
Hawaii" the Newsletter prints the
following undigested paragraph:
The little band of planters who virtu-
ally govern Hawaii are often hard set to
make their little schemes stick. Those of
the natives who have votes have organ
lied a party OF their own which proposes
to render all governments impracticable
that do not recognize the old monarchy
In some way. The powers of obstruction
are great. and the native party has few
able leaders. Their proposed course may
be very sullen. stupid and Improbable on
..their part, but il is exceedingly natural
pnder the circumstances. Then the reve-
hue Of the islands is in a bad way. 1t
amounts to virtually nothing, and there
Is no way Of increasing 1t under existing
laws. There can be no tariff on the goods
of the only country that supplies the Ha-
waiian market. The only alternative
seems TO be land tax that would not
suit the planters and might make them
wish they had better understood all the
possibilities OF annexation. The engineer
Is sometimes hoisted with his own petard.
II is in the nature of news-away-
Trombone that the revenues OF the
island are i'm a bad way and that a
land tax would be regarded as a
novelty. Real estate has been taxed
In these Islands since the adoption,
many years ago. of a modern fiscal
system and the continuation of that
method would not be regarded as a
special hardship. =.
Nor Is the Newsletter well-inform-
ed about the sources of Hawaiian rev.
enue. 1t assumes that the country has
depended upon tariff returns for the
ordinary expenses of government,
which is far from the fact. The tariff
revenue was instrumental in piling up
n surplus for emergencies, as witness
the extra million it helped put at the
disposal of the people when we had to
fight the bubonic plague. But there
was a very handsome sum derived from
other sources as witness the following
detail OF taxes collected during 1899:

way: the time might come when, If
they did not have a station on the
North China coast they would be
forced under harmful stress of cir
cumstanees, to do without.
If no territory should be taken by the
Americans they would surrender their
which might prove to be an idle one,
of the open door. 1t is wise to have a
door of our own, for then we can talk
and practice reciprocity. Moreover, if
America is to support missionaries in
China it ought to maintain a place of
refuge for them. Had we fortress at
Shang- hai-Kwan, for example, scores
of American and other missionaries,
who are now dead, might have been
rescued from their enemies.
There is, too, the matter of compen-
sation for damages done to American
life and property during these terrible
July days. For two Catholic priests
slain, Germany seized Kiaochau. What
shall the United States demand for the
wiping out of it's whole missionary es-
Establishment outside the treaty ports?
Perhaps nothing can be done now
owing to the pending elections; pos
sibly a long war will intervene before
there can be any definite settlements in
China at all. But when the time comes
we hope the United States will act in
the spirit of enlightened self interest,
not unmindful of it's trading rights and
religious duties nor yet of it's respon-
sibility as a co-guardian of the peace
in the great barbaric empire of the
Mongols. In that event we shall yet
see the Stars and Stripes raised over
some strategic part of the Chinese
northern littoral

Considering the enormous growth OF
Hawaii all of the items enumerated
above can be properly increased. we
shall also have much land to sell that
will thereafter become taxable. Fur
thermore the old rate Of outlay has been
cut down by Federal assumption of
custom house. postoffice. military and
certain judicial expenses, that used to
pull hard upon the Island treasury. We
save interest on the 100000 debt
which the United States assumed. So,
unless Hawaiians are foolish enough
TO organize counties and municipal
tiles. thereby creating great body OF
tax-eaters, to devour their substance,
there ia no reason why Hawaii should
not continue to be solvent.

The Manchurian Boxers are much
finer race of people physically than the
Chinese who live in Hawaii and Call
fornia. Most Manchurians are tall and
broadshouldered, resembling the best
types of the Norwegian. There Is no
doubt felt by those who have mingled
with them that they furnish some Of
the best material for armies that the
world has known.
