A TOURIST FUND.
1.-THE Official and Commercial Record !

A rather curious condition of affairs
has developed in connection with the
attempt to secure funds with which to
attract tourist travel to Hawaii.
About year or more ago plague was
rampant in the Orient, ana was liable
to be brought to Honolulu.
The Home Rule Legislature had re-
fused to provide the necessary funds
to guard the port from infection, or
| to properly inspect the slum portions
of the town.
| Under these circumstances. the mer-
chants of Honolulu, VINO knew what
the presence of plague meant, came to
the rescue, and volunteered to assess
themselves at the rate of 10 cents
ton on all freight imported, the pro-
ceeds to go toward protecting the town
from another visitation OF plague.
To carry the proposition into effect
committee of three was appointed
from among the members of the Cham
Der of Commerce, known as the Ship
pers Committee" who supervised the
collection and disbursement Of the ton
mage tax. The proceeds were devoted
to paying for the quarantine wharf, to
planking up the wharves so that the
spaces underneath We're made air tight
enabling fumigation to kill rats: to flu
migation and to extra inspection in the
town.
The voluntary tax has served it's
purpose WE'LL The plague was kept out.
The tax has been reduced to 10 cents
ton. The Legislature is in session
and should provide literally for the
purposes to which the tax has here
tofore been appropriated. The tax
should therefore be discontinued.
This is the view which a large ma
jority of the merchants of Honolulu
take; but the method of raising a fund
for the common good has proved so
easy and satisfactory that they are
willing that 1t should be continued and
the collections devoted to promoting
tourist travel.
Committees on tourist travel appoint
ed respectively by the Chamber of
Commerce and the Merchants Associa-
ton have recommended this course,
and resolutions supporting the PROPOSE
ton nave been adopted by both organi-
cations.
This would appear to be decisive of
the question; but at this stage the |
'i'iPNho NulIlllltlec, WnlCn Is SIMPLY J
the executive representative of the |
merchants refuses to comply with the |
resolution, on the ground that the orig |
mai tax was not authorized for this |
purpose; and second that they propose |
TO continue to collect the tax. whether |
the merchants like it or not, for health |
purposes alone.
This raises several points for reflec-
ton.
The only authority that the COM
mittee have for levying any tax is the
consent OF the merchants. If the mer- |
chants now decide to discontinue the |
health tax, by what semblance of au-
thority do the committee arbitrarily |
continue TO collect it and use the pro-
ceeds for purposes of their own selec-
ton?
II the committee can collect and dis
purse the tax without the consent OF
the merchants, why do they give as
an excuse for not doing what the mer-
chants want with the proceeds, that
they must FIRST have the consent OF the

The appearance of Volcano Marshall
as the editor of an American daily
paper in Shanghai will give the English
residents of that Chinese treaty port
some fresh and novel shocks. Up to
the advent in Yokohama of Mr..
Thorne's Box of Curios, several years
ago. the journalism of the Far East
that is to say the Anglo Saxon kind
was modelled upon the most severe lines
of British rectitude. Solid columns of
grave narrative and serious discussion,
with scant headlines and no signs of
Sprightliness, least of all any signs of
criticism of men and things at home,
MARKED and characterized the average
daily paper. The Box of Curios, mod
eled upon the mythical Arizona Kick
err woke up the English-speakin colo
MES of Japan as II IL We're a plague of
bees and has kept those naturally
somnolent bodies in state of more or
less excitement ever since. They can
never get quite used to Mr.. Thorne's
vivid and irreverent methods and to
his total disregard for the sanctity of
persons. The Chinese ports, however,
are outside the Thorne bailwick and
still cling to the old London press tradi-
tons, though notably scandalized at
times by the American Journalism at
Manila. But their time has finally
come. Now appears Volcano Marshall,

and yesterday morning burglars entered
the offices of Richardson and Holloway,
engineers, on Merchant street, but in
vestigation shows they discovered
nothing of value to carry away. En-
trance wasisained by the front door as
1t was found unlocked yesterday morn

locked in the safe and nothing was left
in the drawer overnight.

By the last mail from Molokai the
Advertiser received several letters COM
planning that the report of Ambrose
Hutchinson's speech, appearing in this

as interpreted for the press by Iii
Crawford, We're to the effect that DR..
Goodhue was the worst he had seen

version was that Or. Goodhue is no

Hutchinson himself and from others
written by VIM. a. Bruins, John X.
Mia, Demetria II. Pearce and the ac-
cused surgeon, that Mr.. Hutchinson
said just the reverse of what the in
terpreter made it. He spoke highly of

sonal worth; and in this opinion the

1t is not generally known that the
British peerage has an American
branch in the Fairfax family of Vir
ginia, the tenth baron of which was
the famous Charley Fairfax of the
early days of California. The latter,
who did business in San Francisco and
had home in Mill Valley, was a
violent partisan of the Confederacy.
Pioneers recall the fact that he march
ed for miles behind the body of Colonel
Baker, when the remains of that Civil
war patriot were brought from the bat
tlefield of Balls Bluff to be inferred at
Lone Mountain, A Union man, seeing
him in the procession stopped and Of
fered his hand, saying: Il cannot agree
with your politics, Mr.. Fairfax, but /
want to thank you for doing honor to
our dead friend, Col. Baker" ooh
that's all right" responded Fairfax II
hope to march behind the bodies of a
lot more abolitionists before this war
is over" The Californian baron, like
several of his ancestors, refused to ac-
cept the English title and prided him
self upon his Americanism; but his
nephew, the present Lord Fairfax is in
England reestablishing his old connec-
tons and is not unlikely to become a
British subject.

the TOURIST PROPORTION.

1t is a pity that so much time has
been lost in getting tourist matters ar
ranged. With the coming OF March.
California began to have more visitors
than 1t could easily take care of and
now the resorts Of the State are crowd
ed. II arrangements had been made
when they were preached early last fall
to spread a knowledge of Hawaifs
charms among these eager sight-seers,
the Advertiser does not doubt that our
hotels and boarding houses would now
be overlooking and the revenues of re-
tail trade increased accordingly.
Having lost the best chance the
spring season affords 1t is public
duty, which Hawaii owes itself, to per-
feet it's plans for an early fall cam
paign in which the railroads and
steamship lines may share. The sum-
mero will not prove too long for the
preliminary negotiations with the COM
mon carriers, nor for the working out
of proper advertising schemes. Every
week between now and the coming of
cold weather in the East can be utilized
in getting railroad men interested, in |
preparing literature for them to dis |
tribute and in having special ocean |
rates adjusted. Something might also
be done on the coast to work up sum-
mer excursions like those of the Shriner
parties couple of years ago.
The game is well worth the candle.
If a million dollars are good to have on
account of the fire claims, after three
years waiting, they are certainly worth
trying for annually on account of the
tourist trade. over s1S,000,000 will come
10 California this year from sight-seers
and health-seekers, a sum which, an
lually garnered, accounts for much of
he prosperity of the Golden State. To
ap that brimming reservoir of good
hings is the privilege of Hawaii and I
here is no reason why our people {
hould be backward in doing 1t. I

government during the Mckinley adj
ministration, and Senator Aldrich now
has similar supervisory influence
over the Roosevelt administration, each
as the head of a restricted ring Of pow
erful senators whom the president
feared to offend. The great postal scan
dial gives a glimpse of the power and
patronage of senator's, some Of whom
have narrowly escaped contamination.
Mr.. Cleveland, however, refused to be
controlled by his cabinet or the sena-
tors, and thereby offended some of the
most powerful men in his party, Many
of the democratic senator's were violent
ly opposed to his third nomination in
1892, but then as now the ground swell
of popular sentiment was strongly in his
favor. The senate itself is far from a
favorite body in the eyes of the Ameri-
can people, as it is looked upon as plu-
toeratic and arlstocratic, too far re-
moved from the source from which its
authority springs. The courage of
Cleveland as president in disregarding
the mountainous Senatorial courtesy"
which had grown up without warrant of
law, and fattened on patronage secured
by threatening to hold up the policies
and appointments Of presidents who
disregarded the impudent claims of sem
ators, endeared him to the people in
proportion as it antagonized the legisla-
tive politicians of his party.
The senators are ambitious Of being
the bosses of their party by farming
out the patronage and appointments Of
their respective states without let or
hindrance. Hence the desire for COM
plant president, and the antipathy to
an executive like Cleveland, who fear
1essly insists upon exercising his consti-
tutional powers and accepting the full
burden of responsibility.-Troy Press.
