HAWAIIAN REVENUES.

'ollowing undigested paragraph:

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 a few
able leaders. Their proposed course may
be very sullen. stupid and Improbable on
their part, but IL is exceedingly natural
under the circumstances Then the reve-
nue. OF the islands is in 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 lia-
walian market. The only alternative
seems to be n 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.
1t is in the nature of news-away-
from home that the revenues of the
island are in a bad way and that
land tax" would be regarded as
novelty. Real estate has been taxed
in these Islands since the adoption,
many years ago, of modern fiscal
system and the continuation of that
method would not be regarded as
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
a 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:

The prophets are with us. DR.. 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 1t can
be sure OF weekly ones.

The reader of this must concede two
important points-firSt, that which fol-
lows, having taken place in Honolulu,
can easily be Investigated and proved
to be true; second, there is a vast diff
ference between opinions publicly ex-
pressed by resident of Honolulu in
Honolulu local papers and the opin-
ions daily met with in the same papers
columns which were originally drafted
in Maine or Montana. Read the fol-
lowing:
Mr.. S. Hanoland, of this city, is a
Custom House guard. He writes:

tory and l know that the pills are II

Borough Sues Telegraph Company

Another suit to recover license tax

Taylor against the Postal Telegraph
company. In the statement filed yes
terday by Solicitor John NJ. Harris,
claim Is made for S2205 so with interest
for tax assessed against the companys
poles and wires in 1898 and 1899, for
which demand has been made and pay
ment refused
In 1894. the borough passed an Or
dnance providing for police inspec-
ton of all poles and wires on public
highways or commons. within the bor-
ough limits. and fixing yearly tax
of 81 on each pole and $3.50 on each
mile of wire.
The company opposed the collection
of the tax on the ground that the bor-
ough had no authority to levy it, and
the borough brought suit The case
was heard before Judge Gunster and
a decision rendered in favor Of the
borough. From this an appeal was
taken to the superior court, but for
obvious reasons was never prosecuted,
