Jams. Dimond & Co., agents for the
American-Hawaiian Steamship Com
pany, made application at yesterdays
meeting of the harbor commission for
the widening of Steuart street wharf
fifty feet, in order TO provide for the
business of the firm. On account of the
recent addition to the fleet of the Ne
vadan and Nebraskan the present
wharf is becoming too small. The firm
suggested as an alternative that it
should be given the use of the Spear
street wharf if the Oregon Railroad and
Navigation Company's steamers were to
be withdrawn. No action was taken.

CREDIT.

The present situation as evidenced
by constantly recurring incidents should
be an object lesson to the Merchants
Association of this city The mer-
chants have before them a more
weighty proposition than arranging for
a junketing trip for Mr.. Weldon. They
must take hold of the present credit
system and wipe it out of existence.
Honolulu merchants have BEEN and
are at this day, too lax in ordinary
business affairs. People are given
credit who have no intention of paying
their honest debts. If the merchants
get together and arrange for a con-
fidential bureau among themselves it
will do much to eliminate the dead
beat" Nowadays, if a mans credit is
stopped at one grocery store, he i'm
mediately transfers his trade to an
other store in the same line. The sec
ond storekeeper does not ask why his
new customer came to him, but hands
out the goods until he finally discovers
that his new customer may be cIasseu
among dead beats" or people who do
not pay their honest debts. The in
formation bureau would 90 away With
this STATE of affairs. For instance: If
one grocer refuses credit to some ire
sponsibie Individual the remaining
grocers should be notified, and if the
reasons for not giving the man credit
are good, all hands should refuse credit
to this same Individual. This plan
could be used in all lines Of trade, ana,
if carried out Systematically, it would
not take long for the merchants to dis
cover the men who will not pay their
hills
