Residing In Honolulu
WEDNESDAY AUG 6 189G
A MISTAKEN POLICY
A man has to travel far and wide
boforo bo finds a spot which can bo
compared with beautiful Waikiki
the fame of which has been im
mortalized by Robert Louis Stovon
bou Joaquin Miller Stoddard Mark
Twain Kate Field and other groat
writem and the beautios of which
hare boon presorvod ou tho canvas
from tho brush of Tavernier Strong
Fisher and Hitchcock
Waikiki is tho pride of tho Ha
waiian Islands and the necessity of
a first class hotol on the beach has
long been foil
To run a first class hotel which
justly can becomo renowned and an
attraction to tourists it is necessary
that tho propriotor of such a hotel
be permitted to furnish such com
modities as are demanded and ex
pected by the average traveller
Mr Thomas Krouso tho woll
known host of tho Arlington Hotel
in this city fully roalized the ad
vantages to be gained by tho coun
try if a hotel could ba established at
Waikiki Ho communicated with
Mr W O Peacock the owner of the
finest residonco on the beach and
negotiated a leaso of tho premises
knowing that it was tho intontion of
Mr Peacock to leave tho islands for
an extensive tour abroad Mr Pea
cock was agreable and Krouso con
ceived tho plan to turn the promises
into an ologaut bathing resort and a
modern hotol
Horotofore tho Government has
not allowed liquor to bo sold out
side tho town limits aud in spito of
petitions public sontiment and tho
inability of tho police to check illioit
selling of liquor no license has been
granted Mr Krouso well awaro
that no hotel can exist whoro wines
and liquors cannot be obtained pe
titioned the Government for a
license to sell liquor at Waikiki
showing his intentions of establish
ing a first class soa sido resort which
truly could bo called an attraction
to tourists and travellers
Tho Govornmont howevor did not
see the matter in tho samo light aud
Mr Krouso in answer to his peti
tion received tho following letter
Depautment of Intemou I
Honolulu Aug 4 1890 J
T E Khouse Esq Honolulu Oahu
Sir I am directed by tho Min
itor of tho Interior to acknowledge
rocoipt of your application for retail
license for tho vending of spirituous
liquors at tho W O Peacock
prdmises Waikiki Honolulu Oahu
aud to say in reply that tho Govern
ment for tho prose nt doos not feol
it dosirablo to change tho prosuut
established limits for tho sale of
spirituous liquors at retail for tho
District of Honolulu
I am thorefore directed to re
spectfully decline your application
Wo roturu you herewith plaus of
your I propoood improvements on
above mentioned premises
I liavo tho honor to bo
Your obediont sorvant
Jas H Boyd
1st Asst Olork
Hero ends tho mattor so far Wo
trust however that tho Govornmont
will reconsidor its decision and
thereby assist iu furthoring its
avowed policy of encouraging tour
ist travel What is tho use of pub
lishing pamphlets subsidizing pic
torial journals and advertising tho
beautios of tho islands when noth
ing is done right horo to satisfy aud
gratify tho strangers we aro trying
to induce to visit us
It is all right to toll the tourist
who lands horo to look at tho scen
ery our mountains our ocean aud
our volcano Tho first thing tho
avorago tourist asks for whou arriv
ing at tho volcano houso is a glass of
beor or a cocktail and ho gets it
Man doos not oxist on scenery alone
and tho man who can afford to tra
vel to Hawaii is generally used to
washing tho scenery down with
something stronger If the Govern
ment really desires tooncourago aud
promote tourist travolling it will
grant a full hotol license with per
mission to sell liquor for Waikiki
The authorities know that liquor
can bo bought illicitly in ovory placo
on the islands whoro thoie is no
license Why oncourage tho illicit
soiling losing au annual sum wel
come to tho treasury and discourago
tourist travolling
Thoro is since tho closing of tho
Bay Horse saloon one liquor shop
loss iu Honolulu By granting a
license to Mr Krouso tho original
number of licenses would not bo in
creased iind only benefit to tho
country cau acoruo Wo havo tho
Sunday concerts tho Sunday trains
tho Sunday papers now lot us havo
a hotol at Waianae and a first class
rosort at Waikiki
Public sontiment is moving in tho
right dirootion and in Honolulu it
is progressing towards modern civil
ization and modern idoas A gov
ornmont which will not movo along
with the pooplo and progress adopts
a mistakon policy
A LITTLE FJREMATORE
Our contemporaries havo certain
ly not boeu tarrying iu condomuing
Mr Julion D Hayno aud stigmatiz
ing him as a swindlor as soon as it
becamo known that somn of his
drafts had boon dishonored Tho
editors who gladly rocoivod Mr
Haynos hospitality during his stay
hero ought to have gone slow boforo
hurling invoctivos at tho absent
writer
The Independent doos not know
anything of Mr Haynos financial
affairs oxcopt that he paid a print
ing job dono by tho Makaainana
Printing Houso with a draft ou tho
Nevada Bank that in due time was
dishonored Yot we do not seo any
oxoufo of implying tho basest of
motivo on tho charaotor of tho
oditor of The Hawaiian
A representative of our paper call
ed on J W Luniug who has been
financially and socially connooted
with Hnyun aud who probably also
will bo a loser if Mr Hayno should
novorshotv up again Mr Luniug
assorts and firmly believes that Mr
Hayno will rotum to Hawaii pay
his bills and isaue his book Tem
porary ombarrasment is not a crime
and it is not Mr Haynos fault that
ho is hopelessly ignorant of business
matters and doosnt know tho first
thing about accounts
Mrs Hayno is known to havo con
siderable property under tho will of
hor first husband Injunctions and
legal proceedings wore started
against hor at the timo when Mr
Hayno was peremptorily ordered to
leave the islands by his physicians
horo Hayno who is suffering from
cancor of tho stomach did not por
haps understand his true financial
status and issued chocks uudor the
belief that mattors in rogard to his
wifos ostato had been satisfactorily
arranged
Mr Luniug suggests that it would
bo tnoro gentlemanly and charitable
on tho part of tho newspapor men
to keep thoir Bhirts on a while
longer Upon tho arrival of tho
Australia he fully expects to hoar
fiym Mr Hayno that all mistakes
have been rectified and that every
thing is O K
Luniug and Poterson are both
recognized as boing rather shrewd
business men It is not likely that
Mr Hayno or anyone else would bo
ablo to take both of thom iu
Tho premature action of our con
temporaries in vilifying and ridicul
iug Mr Hayno is cortainly undigni
fied and probably will bo proven unjust-
TOPICS OF THE DAY

figure of nearly 50000 and these
separated couples once linked in
matrimony uamo from all Statos of
tho Union to bo disunitod Tho
Kansas Court of Appoals has recent
ly decided unanimously that thelaw
under which tho decrees of divorco
woro granted iu that Stato is uncon

void and of no effect Tho parties
to these cases aro not divorced as
thoy supposed they woro any subse

void any children born of such
second marriages aro illegitimate
children of tho marriagos which
woro supposed to havo boon dis
solved by divorco ro ontor into thoir
rights of property whilo tho chil
dren of the subsequent marriago
forfeit any rights whioh thoy were
supposed to have acquired A
writer dealing with this mattor says
that iu tho newer States tho law is
apparently equally unconstitutional
