The Commissioners are in receipt of a
letter from W. J. Morris with reference
to House bin 1890 providing for eularg-
| ing the powers and privileges of the
Washington Gaslight Company. Mr.. Nor
| ris is opposed TO the bill, and calls the
attention of the Commissioners to Ger
| tain facts in the history of the company
| and to the price of gas under it's oper-
| alton.
| Mr.. Morris says the bill proposes TO give
| the company the right to absorb all other
| lighting concerns in the District and 10
confer additional privileges and powers.
! He states that the Washington Gaslight
Company has had over half century of
profitable existence. Its profits. he saws,
have been very large. Mr. Morris states
that enough was developed in one Con-
gressional investigation to show that reg
ular and extra dividends of over 20 per
cent per annum had been commonly de-
clared.
I'VE all remember continues Mr.. Nor
ris. that when company of citizens at
the head of whom was Anthony Pollock
sought a charter for an opposition COM
pany, Offering a condition to furnish
75-cent gas. Congress failed to grant the
charter, but instead provided for an in
significant reduction in the price TO be
charged by the existing company.
I'VE know that the present price of gas,
at s1.10 per thousand cubic feet. is ex-
orbitant. We know il because We know
that many cities, not differently situated
than Washington with respect to the cost
OF materials, are getting gas of as good
quality for a less price. The people of
Cincinnati. for example, pay but 30 cents
per thousand for gas when used for fuel
purposes, and 10 cents per thousand feet
when used for illuminating purposes. The
Cincinnati company was glad a couple of
years ago to agree TO these prices in re-
turn for a twenty-fve-year renewal of its
charter, which was aSout TO expire.

workmen building fire in 1t when it
was not filled with water. The Commits
sioners show by these reports that the
company installing the heater were not
to blame for the injury done TO the heat

the carelessness of workmen engaged in
the building in making repairs.

The Honolulu republican. [volume] (Honolulu, T.H.) 1900-1902, 1901-02-20

The Republican prints this morning
a communication from Mrs. Helen NJ.
Cougar upon the evils of the degrad-
ing pen at Iwilei. Mrs. Cougar does
not write of this awful spot OF pollu-
ton in Honolulu from hearsay but
from the point OF an eyewitness to
the horrors of the place. Like many
other visitors she visited the place
under proper escort to see with her
own eyes and also like many others
she could hardly believe that il was
possible for such a slave pen TO exist
in any place on earth. and much less
in a Territory over which the Stars
and Stripes float. As Mrs. Cougar
says il is high time the Christian sen
timent OF this community was aroused
TO the terrible evil il is allowing to
run in IS midst IL is debasing and
debauching, and sore spot on the
body polite that will affect the morals
OF the entire populaaon in a few years
IL IL is not stamped out II is indeed
opportune that few brave women
like Miss Murcutt and Mrs. Cougar
have come here who are not afraid
to speak out about the evils of the
Iwilei den.

The man who writes what he calls

THE FIRST LEGISLATURE.

Today witnesses the beginning Of
an epoch-marking period in the his

lature It will witness the assembling
OF the first legislative body ever
gathered together in Hawaii of which
the members were chosen by the en-

witness the gathering of Legislature
the members OF which were chosen
upon the basis of MANHOOD suffrage.
There are no hereditary mobiles in the
present legislature ana no members
elected from Islands on which they
do. not Reside.
There are many important meas
ures TO come before the body which
assemblies today; more important than
have come before any former legisla
tive body in the history of these
Islands. As has been said. popular
government is on trial in Hawaii.
Popular government has been I'M
known here. not only under the mon
archy. but especially under the oil
garchy. The present legislature will
have entrusted TO it the framing CT
county government, the framing Of
municipal government for this city,
the framing of equitable tax laws.
the framing OF new penal laws, the
framing OF a new homestead law and
homestead exempuon Jaw; the franz
ing of liquor laws and in short almost
a complete revision of the present
legal code OF the Territory.
Il also has within its power re.
districting of the Territory for legis-
lative purposes; a wiping out or

jects will be the cutting down of the
present expensive system of govern

A DISGRACE TO CHRISTIANITY.

To the Editor of The Republican,
That | might be perfestly informed
before entering into the discussion
of the subject. | visited the Iwilei
stockade with proper escort last Sat
urday night | have seen the Salt
Market of Glasgow and the White
chapel district of London with all their
degraded conditions of humanity. but
your beautiful city is guilty of present
ing the most degraded spectacle pos
sible to human eyes. Thanks to the
two brave missionaries, Miss Murcutt
and Miss Alderman, the Christian
people of Honolulu cannot plead ig-
norance of this moral pesthouse, for a
single moment. they know of it. That
any part of the press or people can
be found to apologize for the existence
of such brazen sin is indeed deplor-
able. AS | saw the little heather wo-
men sitting at their windows bargain
ing away their souls wondered where
the Home Missionaries of Honolulu
were spending their efforts to reclaim
the lost Where are the women of
this city. who have been educated in
Christian institutions and who believe
in the purity of the Christian home
that they sit at ease in Zion" and en-
ter no protest against the existence
of such place? Shall mothers see
children reared under so baneful an
influence and be too timid to cry aloud
and spare not?
To the claim made by some, that
this place 'is a necessity. that no vir-
tuous women would be safe if it were
not for this den because there are five
men to one woman on ,uis island"
have to reply, that the deyil never put
il into the mouths of the men or wo-
men to make a more shameless ex-
-cuse. II it be so. then take these child
women out of this stockade and PIT
them in the most palatlal surround
ings and clothe them il, purple and
fine linen and worship them as the
saviors of decent womanhood. There
is no other consistent way out of such
defense for this stockade. Little less
wicked are these ignorant women, in
their poverty and slavery, than are the
so-called good women who permit this
foul excuse to pass their lips that
often repeat Our Father"
4 No surer destruction of the home
life of the nation could be devised than
to tolerate so loose morals in the
state. as these apologists would incul-
cate. Far better would it be for these
vile men and women to skulk in hid
ing from public gaze. to carry on their
deadly traffic than to have it so brazen
as it is at Iwilei.
There is no greater comment on
the depraved public sentiment that
this place has already created. than
that men high in social and business
life" are deriving revenue from it, as
is asserted, and that the government"
is in league with this iniouity. and
that both men and women are afraid
to speak opt against this wickedness
lest they lose rbusiness and social
cate, | doubt if such sentiment
could be found in anotner city on the
globe. with population so limited as
that of Honolulu.
