As to the first point the answer
is simple. The company does fur
nish very substantial guaran-
tee, viz, the forfeiture not only of
the subsidy but of all their lines,
etc, already erected. A more sub
stantial guarantee it would not be
reasonable to demand. And this is
amply sufficient.
The second objection does not
need answering. Was ever any
thing heard of more ridiculous than
to refuse the company what it asks
because 1T does not ask for more
because it is not greedy enough. Ii
these be the rewards of modesty,
that virtue is likely to become
scarce commodity.
Our space does not permit US to
enter into the merits of the bill at
any length. Fortunately, the case
for the cable company can be put
in nutshell. And it is this:
The Hawaiian Pacific Cable Com
pany, encouraged by the promise
of an exclusive franchise and very
modest subsidy, has contracted to
construct cable connecting the
principal islands of the group. The
company has organized, gone en-
ergetically to work - erected a
great many miles of land lines and
spent 100000 or s40,0O0-more, in
short, than the whole subsidy en-
gagged for. Unfortunately, owing
to the defective quality of cable
with which the company has been
experimenting, the submarine lines
have not been laid within the con
tract time. The company ask fol-
an extension of time.
We think it is very clear tina
they ought to have it. We thinl
in the absence of fraud or bat
faith, it is not too much to say tina
they are morally entitled TO it. |
they had been beneficiaries of tn
Government the case would be yer,
different. But the boot is on tn
other leg; it is the Government, &C
cording to Noble Widemann'
showing, which is the beneficiary
If the extension of time is denied
we shall doubtless have anothe
company, not SO scandalously mod
est as this one, asking for $4,000
subsidy.
This is a case where fair pla
will prove jewel indeed. All tina
the cable company ask is fair play
In giving it, the Legislature ma
save the country $4,000.

THE CABLE BILL.

The opposition which has been
raised in some quarters to the
bill granting an extension of
time to the Hawaiian Pacific Cable
Company seems to be totally un-
founded. 1t proceeds chiefly from
Rep. Kalua and Noble Widemann.
The first thinks the company
should furnish a guarantee that
they will finish the work within
the prescribed time. The second
objects to the proposed extension
because forsooth, the subsidy ask
ed for is not large enough

A NATIONAL RElsSSsK.

introduction of u bill in the United

That such "a bill had been intro.
duced was all we knew about il
particularly, until few days ago,
when by sending TO The capitol
we received a copy Of 1t. Like
many other of these things that
are being carried on in Congress,
when read by title it does not ap.
pear to many as very bad thing;
yet even though all that this bill
intends, or all that it means, were
suggested in the title, il would
sun be a very serIOus question
whether national university
would be conducive 10 tue best

ed States. 1t would be impossi-
bic to keep it free from political
preferences aud Intrigue. But
this is not tue worst feature of the

the establishment of a national
university, but it also provides

A WAR At LAST.

The European news for months
and indeed for years, but with q
great show of probability lately
has been full of anticipated wars
and rumors of wars among the
leading nations of the Old World
but while we have been regularly
aud persistently told this, and
that it needed only a little breeze
to fan it into flame all over the
old country, war has come, but in
its coming has pat all the prophets
to shame.
The war Is right at our doors,
between Central American States,
and not in Europe. Five little
American Republics, thsi have
been living at peace With each
other for some years, and giving

OF the United States for mutual

the country, trying 10 cultivate

hence this unfortunate war is a
