Sketch of this FamouB Plan for thd Diminution of Drunkonnoss. Editoij Bulletin: In spito of tho prnisowortliy oxor tions of tlio Bluo liihhoii Longuo, Good Tomplnrs and other total ab stinonco soeiotioa to froo tlio world from tho ovils of tho drink domou, it is yot a tplorably settled fact, that tho public in gonornl cannot bo kept from drinking alcoholic drinks, and it is a vory much disputed dogma whothor tho tomporato drinking of alcoholic bovorages is good or bad for tho human constitution in gen eral. Lot us suppose it is bad; wo cannot stop it; thou lot us abate it and mako it tho least possibly objec tionable. Not only thousands but millions of people are of the same opinion as we, that good alcoholic drinks takon temperately, so that they do not intorforo with a man's family and business alfairs or the public, is not an objectionable luxury. A man is entitled to that luxury legi timately, as well as obtaining oay chairs and spring mattresses legiti mately. This theory is quite well Bottled in tho minds of a groat part of tho govorning pooplo of our try, but thoro has been great dis agreement as to tho best way to furnish tho pooplo with alcoholic drinks in such a manner, that it should not bo obnoxious to the non drinking part of tho public in gen eral, and it is this that has prompted us to offer tlio following suggestions: Boforo 1884 saloons woro only licensed in Honolulu, but t hat j-ear a law was passed to license saloons in ovory district of tho islands, and saloons woro started in tho moie populous districts. Some of these saloons, which woro run in a proper manner, aro in existence yot, but tho most of thorn aro closed up; I hoy were often run by natives, who are utterly unfit for such a position, and tho saloon was in consequence run in such a manner that it was a dis grace to tho community, and peti tions woro sent by tho law-abiding people of tho district to hao tho iiconso cancelled or not ronowed. It lies with tho Minister of tho Intorior to grant liquor licenses and ho has rightfully boon vory rosorved about issuing somo licenses, leaving it mostly to local option in the coun try districts, and tho Minister has also used his discretion in issuing licenses in localities of Honolulu, whore tho respectable people ob jected. When one of tho subscribers was abroad last year ho visited his native country, Norway, and traveled about a good deal visiting several towns, whoro he had been ton or more years, ago, and had a good chance to com pare, and ho was pleasantly surprised to see all tho improvements in and around tho towns. In particular ho remembers visiting an old school mate, who is a minister of tho gos pel in one of tho small towns on the sea-coast. This good cleigj'inan took him about tho little town to see the sights, and as ho had spent a whole summer in said town somo fifteen or sixteen years ago, ho could mojre easily see tho changes than a man who had lived thoro all tho time. His friend took him over a piece of macadamized road to tho church, instead of the old cow trail which was impossible for any other vehicle than a wheelbarrow. Tho church yard was well kept and surrounded by a now substantial fence instead of tho old broken-down affair. Ho was shown a nice now schoolhouso and a small hospital. Ho asked his conductor how a small town like this, with no more than two t hou sand inhabitants, could afford to keep up such institutions and . have such improvements made. Ho was answered with tho onby word, "Whisky," and afterwards on furth er inquiry, it was explained that years ago an association for tho sale of ardent spirits, wino and beer had boon started by tho leading citizens of tho town, tho surplus of which was used for public improvements and benevolence, philanthropic in stitutions or other objects of general utility; honco all tho improvements of tho public institutions, which he had found. Tho minister further told him that povortj' was diminish ed and drunkonnoss, with all tho vices in its train, had boon so abated that ho had not seen a drunken man for a long time, and tho salo of liquor, which was generally consid ered one of tho curses in tlio world, had been cut down thoro to "next to nothing" as a vice, and tho benefit to tho community derived from tho salo of liquor anybody could see, as tho poor widows' circumstances were alloviated, tho orphans takon caro of and educated, tho sick nursed, and benefit was derived thorofrom by all public organizations of bono volonco, philanthropy and general usefulness. This system was originally started in Sweden, but it is now introduced in almost overy town in Sweden and Norway, as tho pooplo woro not slow to perceive its benefit, and it lias created considerable attention in other countries. Tho well-known writer, Itight Hon. tho Earl of Meath, had an article on tho subject in The Nineteenth Century, Decem ber, 1891, which is full of good thought and strong argumont for having a similar sj-stoni introduced in Groat Britain. Tlio Earl of Meath, howovor, is not tlio fiist English writer on tho subject. Mr. Thomas M. Wilson, G. E., Avroto in 185)0 a pamphlet in which ho gives the his tory and general account of the sys tem, and tho Earl of Month has used this pamphlet as a basis for his article The subscribers havo never soon Mr. Wilson's pamphlet, but to i'udgo from the parts which tho Sari of Meath has used, it seems correct and is mostly based upon tho arrangement of tho association in tho city of Borgon. According to tho laws of Norway the salo of spirituous liquors in quantitios of and over -10 liter is free to ovory holder of a general mer chandise license. For the salo of spirituous liquors in smaller quanti ties than 40 liter, but not less than a bottlo, anothor kind of license is needed, for selling by the glass an other kind of license is used, and for eolling of wino and boor by tho glass still anothor kind. For tho salo of spirituous liiniora in smaller quanti ties than 40 liter tho Iiconso is had from tho city council, which body also decides about tho nuinbor of licensos to bo issued. For every li cense is paid a certain feo to tho poor-houso fund. Tho amount is determined by the city; council for every year and the feo is regulated by tho quantity of spirituous liquors calculated to bo consumed in tlio ensuing year. A tax of 18J oro (4 cents) is supposed to bo imposed on every liter. And the amount is then divided with the nuinbor of liconsos and the quotient is the feo for each retail liquor license. Tn. II. Bbandt, C. B. HOFOAAItb. ('A be coutinurd.) Aid to Boarding Schools. ISoiTOll BfLLETlN'. It scorns to nie that thoro is a great deal of misconception touch ing the present value and tho mis sion of the three or four so-called denominational schools, for whom a small appropriation is asked. Tho parrot cry of "stato aid to religion" is raised when tho honest crj should bo, "aid for afow hungry and neg lected children against starvation." 1 am opposed to stato aid to roli gion or roligjous teaching as such; and I am still stronger opposed to the starvation physical and mental which would bo tho lot of many a poor child, at this present crisis, were it not for these few schools for whom a paltry pittance is asked, hardly equal to the paj' of a stato teacher for each school. It might bo argued from tho stand point of common honesty, by par ents who liko nvysolf profor tlio teaching of a denominational school, that thero is surely a national stato valuo in tho secular teaching of such schools; but this plea of general valuo is lost sight of in tho greater one, that hero only tho criminal child is entitled to the caro of tho statoj and if a child remains obdu rate in his proforonces for virtuo, ho must tako the consoquoncos legally, 'in such cases made and provided," aim starve, unless tlio menus ol a denominational school take pity on him. Tho stato has hero evaded a mani fest duty, and thrown it on tho boarding schools, whoso resources aro now taxed to the utmost. D. M. Cisowley. A Good Tmng to Keep at Hand.
