1t is surprise to all tourists who
visit Honolulu TO see the scarcity oi
tish in our markets and sthe abnor.
NAL prices demanded for the gen.
orally insignificant stock in hand
We are pleased to learn that Secre-
tary Cooper is taking steps to pre-
vent the wholesale destruction OF
fish by ignorant fishermen who use
the long wide nets so disastrous to
the pisatory conditions in the ocean.
The real reason for the scarcity OF
fish and the extortionate prices ask
ed at the market is that the Hawai-
ians, who at one time were able and
willing fishermen, have become in
different after being crowded out by
Asiatics. Honolulu is not tie only
place where such circumstances pre-
vail. In Lahaina, fish, as rule, was
plentiful and cheap. Now it il as
difficult to obtain aud as expensive
as it is in Honolulu. The fishermen
who daily brought to the market
their boat-loads OF fish, which they
sold at a triiling figure, now go to
work once week, bring in a boat
load OF fish aud sell it at a price
which gives them sufficient to loaf
and got drunk on for the next five
days, during which period the in

remedy is for some enterprising man
to go into the business, import pro-
fessional fishermen from San Fran.

business principles There are
plenty of fish in tho seq. Fish" is
a cash trade and it is the stable
food OF Hawaians, Chinese and Jap
anese. If a iish now sold for from
fifty cents TO two dollars can be sold
for from ten cents TO one dollar
each, the fishermen could not bring
tco large catch every day. The

Wahiawa, Oahu, on Saturday for
$4,000. The land belonged to the
government and tho upset pIico was
$500. 1t has not been stated what
Mr.. Dole will do with his new pro-

The Superintendent OF Public In.
ructien and tie Board of Educa-
tion are to be congratulated upon
the appointment Of Mr.. S. Keliinoi
to be an Inspector OF Schools
Apart from Keliinois being very
competent young man, he is a Ha.
waiian and his countrymen will ap-
preciate the honor conferred on
him which carries with it grave re-
sponsibility and and a vosJ .5dbstan-,
tial remuneration. Superintendent
Atkinson has started policy which
will gain him many friends, but will
also mako him the target for much
unpleasant criticism by the job
chasers who firmly believe that the
"haole" should have cinch on auy
public pap in sight. Mr.. Atkinson
is an old "wsr-horse," however, and
that kind of criticism will not keep
him awake at night. We trust that
Mr.. Keliinoi will prove through his
work that the Board was justified in
reposing it's confidence in him, for
the honor OF theHawaiian people.
1t seems to u, that all "stake-
holder" has to do is. to obey the YER
dict Of the Judges duly appointed
to decide who The winner is in any
sporting event. IL the stakeholder
wants to have the final say what is
the use OF having the judges; and
what is the use OF selecting stake
holder who will not abide by The
decision of judges against the sp-,
,pointment of whom no protest was
entered prior to the Seventh"

Since the repeal of the passport
law the papers daily announce-the
disappearance of confidence men
and others of similar character
who played the good people of Ha-
waii, or some OF them at least, for
suckers. 1t is good for the territory
to get rid OF such adventurers, and
we have small sympathy ouly for
those who were beguiled by soft
words of the Johnnies-oo me-lately
to part with their hard earned coin.
The consolation for the dupos. is
that they got the experience while
the other fellows got the money.
