ONE RESULT OF BOOZE.

Last nights afray the streets is not yet entire
" explained and judgment should be withheld as
to responsibility for the first Indictment to violence
In the mass of accusations against the soldiers and
leounteraccusatOns there is too much conflict for
hasty opinion now. 1t should be said that had it
not been for the saloons, the fighting very likely
would not have taken place, and it was the fighting
which stirred up near-riot. The significant thing
which stands above all the details of mobactivity is
that the authorities took immediate steps to close
the saloons. No better proof could be given that
the very existence of saloons is menace to law and
order in Honolulu .>
Dispensing deceptive and ;nfammatory "Christ-
mas cheer the saloons had prilned enough idle men
for exactly the sort of demonstration which was
made BE it noted, too that the liquor license in
spector declares the civilians in the gangs were
worse than the soldiers and that the previous Satur
day night the toughest crowd of civilians i'm his ex
Ierence had flowed into and out of, the saloons.
Hotel street is crowded nightly, and on Saturday
night particularly, with men on the "booze route"
and women and children are beginning to hesitate
about passing the saloon crowds. 1t is plainly a
case for the license commission to act upon Clos
ing the saloons Saturday at & p. H. would make some

Last evening saloonmen closed down at once and
with good grace when the license inspector request

preservation, for these exhibitions of rowdyism are
