POLICE, THEFT, OPIUM.
Our morning contemporary, the
Advertise); makes a bold dash, in
its issue ol' the 2Gth, at the inability
of the police force to grapple with
the petty stealings which have be
come so rife of lute, and says,
among many other timely remarks,
that the ' ' inefficiency -of the police
is a standing reproach (o the King
dom." Similar observations have been
made .from time to time in the
columns of the Hi'mxtix, and will
likely be found necessary to repeat
only too often again. We arc always
ready tp put in our word in any
agitation raised for the advancement
of the public welfare. There is no
mistaking the fact that cfllcicnc',
among the police, is in a very sickly
condition. AVhat method of treat
ment is best to revive the apparently
dying energies of the men with the
buttons is a question that ought to
command the immediate attention of
the authorities. It is quite possible
that Honolulu policemen are very
much like other men. At all events,
it has never yet been proven that in
vestiture with a nickel button is co
incident with a radical change in a
man's character, principles or dis
position. It is not unlikely that
laziness, as well as activity, can
thrive as well under a button as
without one. Nor should it bo ex
pected that the piece of nickel plate
is capable of transforming an honest
into a dishonest man, or the reverse.
It may fairly be accepted as a truism
that a Honolulu policeman's effi
ciency or weakness depends upon
the instructions he receives. It is
utterly useless for the public to
spend their time denouncing police
men. Protests, to be of any avail,
must be made to tell at head
quarters. It is with the masters and
not the servants the public have to
deal. Full instructions from their
superiors with peremptory orders
to attend to them wonld wake up
the police force to a realization of the
fact that to earn their pay, they
must work for it. This seems to us
to be the only plain, common sense
remedy that can be effectual. The
men with the buttons are not so
densely stupid but that they can be
made to understand their duties,
nor are they so reckless of their
own interests as to disobey orders.
The whole matter of police elllciency
thus lies in a nutshell. The men,
not instructed, can well afford to be
ignorant of their duties ; and when
.not under specific orders, ea,n sub
sist very comfoitably on doing
nothing.
. The Advertiser, however, ignoics
i the fact that police inelhVicncy is
'proof positive of inelllcient manage-
.ment of the force. Thu taxes paid
by the citizens arc placed in the
.hands of the authorities to be used
: liy them, among other purposes, for
the maintenance of good order. And
it is their duty to .see to it that the
money is applied in a manner to
give satisfactory returns. That in
t this particular, at least, the manage
ment has proved an egregious failure
is universally admitted. But our'
contemporary, instead of going
straight to the mark with his nrgu
menta, suddenly (lies off at an angle,
and the next place we find him is
iloundering in a tuuddlu of reason
ings intended to clear the way for a
free opium crusade, " We blame,".
, says our contemporary, "the hypocri
tical Jaw of moral pretense tho
anti-opium statute for the utter
demoralization of the whole force."
Wo vather blame the hypocritical
law of im-mornl pretense by whicji
the notions of porsons in authority
winking at violations of tho laws,
arc governed. The anti-opium statute
is one of tho best pieces of legisla
tion in tho Hawaiian code for tho
protection of the Hawaiian race
against one of the most ruinous vices
of modern times. It is a statute
which we nrc proud to refer to, in
our Communications with civilized
nations abroad, as an evidence that
the public sentiment of this King
dom is opposed to the utter demoral
ization of the people. Suppose the
assortion of the Advertiser were
correct to the letter, that the anti
opium statnto is responsible for the
demoralization of the police force,
what, then? He must next show, to
make good his demand for abolish
ing the opium law, that the unre
stricted use of "the devil's drug"
will not directly and speedily bring
about the utter demoralization of the
great body of tho inhabitants? If
anti-opium demoralizes hundreds of
policemen, what kind of reform will
it be to demoralize thousands of the
native population, and make China
town, now bad enough, a hundred
fold worse? Yet that is precisely
the style of reform that the J'acijic
Commercial Advertiser ol Honolulu
proposes to bring about. Ho will
inspire the hunters with a keener
zest for the chase by going into the
preserves and killing off a part of
the game. He will doctor the patient's
symptoms and let the disease run
its. course only in an aggravated
form. We take no stock in any such
methods. A straightforward and
vigorous administration of existing
statutes, whether against chicken
stealing or opium smuggling, is what
we believe in, and what we shall
always endeavor to uphold. We
have no sympathy whatever with the
im-moral pretense that feigns abhor
rence of " moral fraud " with one
breath, and with the next cries out
for a base surrender of one of our
main strongholds of moral preserva
tion. EDITORIAL NOTES.
The statement was made here a
few days ago that Mr. Pearce,
owner of the Zealandia and Aus
tralia, had never approved of the
selling out of the San Francisco-'
Honolulu traffic by the Pacific Mail
to the Oceanic Company. This the
Advertiser endeavors to offset by
printing coriespondenceiroving that
a strenuous effort was made b' the
San Francisco agents of the Pacific
Mail to secure the English mails,
thK trip, for the Zealandia. Per
haps, however, this action of Wil
liams, Dirnond & Co., the agents,
was also without authority from Mr.
Pearce.
Mr. Pearce, the steamship owner,
is not a hard nor a soft-headed
Scotchman, bat an Englishman born
and bred. In either case, however,
it is nonsense to say that his sue-,
cess in securing a share of Hawaiian '
commerce would imperil the Reci-,
procity Treaty. The independence '
of Hawaii was celebrated the other-,
day, but it can be nothing but a,
myth if the mutually beneficial in
tercourse, friendly, and commercial,!
between this kingdom and the
United States, is dependent upon:
the former supporting, at .'tny sacri
fice, a monopoly held by a steam-,
ship company hailing from tho
latter.
Some well meaning philanthrop
ists, who thiuk they can settle two
excessively troublesome questions
at once, have conceived a preten
tious scheme for transporting n
large number of Scotch crofters to
the Hawaiian sugar plantations. It
will not do ; and these good people
little understand Scotch character
who believe the crofters, howovqr
poor, will not prefer self-respecting
poverty to thu slave life of the
coolie laborer. Providence (K.I.)
.Journal.
The paper from which tho above
is taken is one of the best-conducted
in New Kngland. It, however,
makes a slip in the remarks quoted.
The ItoLMi-nx was, we believe, the
first paper to advocate the intro
duction of Scotch crofters into th's
kingdom, but it has never men
tioned, or, till now, heard them
mentioned as, labor supply for the
plantations. They arc wanted here
to take up lands to cultivate on
their own account.
Mrs. l'ease, of Micronesia, at the
recent meeting of tho "Woman's
Bojyrd in Boston, brought out a
curious illustration of God's appar
ently circuitous metliodof answering
prayer. The Christians in the Sand
wich Islands', depondent upon tho
"Morning Star" for their mails,
which camo to many of them but
once a year, allowed no day to go
by without remembering the ship in
their prayers, and when some of
them beheld its wreck, and the
o'hers in time hcaid of it, it seemed
to the native Christians at first as
though their prayers had been un
heard, or at least unheeded ; but
when they learned that the Ameri
can churches liau provided the
steamer "Morning Star" for the
sailing vessel, they changed their
minds, and concluded that the
wreck of the onu vessel, which nrc-
Spared the way for the construction
of the other, was a better answer to
their prayers than their largest
hopes had anticipated. Christian
Union.
The lady must have been wrongly
reported, or got her geography
mixed. To represent the Sandwich
Islands as getting only one mail a
year by a mission vessel may "dam
age the treaty."
