submarine cable between Cape Ray and
Cape Breton. He crossed the ocean more
than fifty times with the expedi-

Atlantic. the success of which was mainly
due to his exertions. He received the

1t is quite true, however, that
the work of keeping the streets
in order should never be sacrificed
to hastily planned Improvements,
and a correspondent Of the press is
quite correct in saying that the
renovation of King street in Pal
anna, which is in a frightful condi-
ton, is more important than the
Waikiki widening.

MORE ABOUT STREET WIDENING.

A correspondent in this issue
maintains, with a good deal of
FEASIBILITY, that street widening
under existing conditions is a mis-
take, and that public funds should
be directed solely to keeping in
order the streets we have, instead
of flying to ills we know not of.
If there were any natural con-
nection between wide streets and
bad streets, or if the movement in
favor of widening the public ways
excluded a proper attention to
their condition, it would not be
difficult to agree with our CORES
pondent. AS a matter of fact, how
ever, such is not the case. 1t may
be very true that the dilatory and
inefficient way in which the Bere-
tania street widening has been car
ried on has made the whole thing
a curse and not a blessing. The
Government should not of course
undertake what it has not the
means to carry out. Moreover, in
the present state of the public fin
ances it may as well be admitted
at once that street widening which
involves the payment of heavy
damages to landowners is entirely
out of the question. The fact re-
mains that the narrowness of many
Of our streets is a serious inconveni-
ence, and in some cases just what
makes the bad condition of the way
unbearable. The narrowness OF

Laying the Cable in the Ba-
hamas.


A Jupiter (Fla.) special says
" The British steamship West
meath, Capt Stanhouse, arrived
here this afternoon with the teIe-
graph cable which is to connect the
Bahamas with the rest Of the world,
the line running direct from Nassau,
\. p, to Jupiter, on the east coast
OF Florida. The Westmeath left
London on December 20 and Mas
sau January -. She has been
coming across very slowly, making
careful soundings. The cable will
probably be landed here early to-
morrow morning, the vessel starting
back for Nassau immediately. pay
ing out the cable as she goes.
Aboard the Westmeath are several
English government and colonial
officials, including Douglass Wells,
the electrician of the cable COM
pany. The cable will be connect
ed with the new land line to-mor-
row, and by next Wednesday it is
expected that Sir Ambrose Shea,
the governor of the Bahamas, can
communicate with Queen Victoria
in London in less than three hours
time. This is the first cable ever
laid from any of the Bahamas
group, and marks an important
step in the commercial progress OF
this colony.-Washington Star.

WAS ASHFORD ELECTED?

The facts III regard to G. w.
Ashford's omission to resign his po-
sltion as notary public will be
found in another column. The
section of the Constitution and the
opinion of the Supreme court on
the matter are. also reproduced in
this mornings issue. There can
be no doubt that the election of
Mr.. Ashford was illegal, if the of
fee of notary public comes under
the description of Section 20 of the
Constitution. That section pro-
yides that no executive or judicial
officer, Government contractor or
employee, or any person receiving
salary or emolument from the Gov
eminent shall be eligible to the
Legislature If Mr.. Ashford was
ineligible on the third of February
q resignation now would not cure
the defect But is the office of a
notary one of those described in
Section 20? This question, on it's
merits, would seem to be not easily
answered off hand. The Supreme
court, in an answer to the ques-
tiOns propounded by the Cabinet
in 1887, declared notaryships to be
within the scope of the constitu-
tional provision. 1t should not be
forgotten, however, that such
opinions of the Supreme Court
do not have the binding force of
decisions. They are important as
indicating the visw of the law
taken by the Court, but they are
not, per Sc, law.
On the whole, then, it cannot be
decided, beyond a peradventure,
whether Ashford}s election is IL
legal until the matter has been
passed upon by the duly consti-
tuted authorities, although the
probabilities in the case are GER
tainly plain enough.
The Pacific commercial advertiser. [volume] (Honolulu, Hawaiian Islands) 1885-1921, 1892-02-22

How Mr.. Ashford ever came to
omit resigning his notaryship is a
Japanese puzzle. 1t is hard to be-
lieve that it was inadvertent, 1t
is equally difficult to suppose that
it was intentional. Perhaps he
meant a contested election to serve
as a peg to hang a revolution on.

during a half a dozen centuries

gression continues where is it
going to end? The ingenuity
of the inventors is making
more rapid strides than that of

average man is not a "clam "
and he is willing to move with
the age, but can he move fast
enough? Echo answers:
scarcely.
This of course applies to
the uses to which some
things are put, not all. " Way
back in the sixties " the people
in New York had to depend
upon the pony express as a
medium for bringing news
from their friends in far off
California. The railway had
not crossed the barrier that
divides the east from the west;
the promise of Puck to "put a
girdle round the earth in 40
minutes was not fulfilled so
far as it applied to a telegraph
line across the American CONT
nent until early in 81 or 81.
The last thirty years has
brought wonderful improve
ments in these respects-in-

trains which go laundering
along at the rate of fifty and
sixty miles an hour and before
many weeks the resident of
New York City may eat late
dinner at his home and have
breakfast next morning in
Chicago. This is progress.
The telegraph now reaches to
almost every country on the
globe except the Hawaiian ISL
ands but progress is going to
bring it here, and soon, too.
1t is in history that thirty
years ago the "old fashioned
iron Eagle Flows " were the
only ones used here; then
some one from the States in
troduced what was then a
modern pillow. But the coun-
try was growing. immigration
was on the increase, and with
new residents came new ideas.
The merchants here had to
keep up with them progress
sion had begun to take notice
and be noticed; the old style
Eagle pillow was cast aside and
something better was intro
duced until the Blank Steel
Plow and Breaker was made
and was thought to be the best
the people here ever saw. But
progression again came into
play and other dealers in pillow:
exercised their genius and pu
on the market what they eacl
believed to be the only " break

THE METROPOLITAN CITY BILL

The election bill having passed there
will be no occasion for haste on the part
Of the legislature in the consideration of
the metropolitan city bill introduced on
Monday. For the people of cities of the
first class that is unquestionably the most
important measure which will come before
the lawmakers at this session, and il de-
mands the very closest scrutiny in all it's
provisions. True, it was drafted by q
skilled attorney who has had experience as a
lawyer for municipalities, and is endorsed
By large committee of councilmen and in
telligent citizens. Vet it is not unlikely
that others may discover defects in 1t: that
it contains some provisions which ought
not to be there, and is lacking in things
which it should possess. 1t would be con-
ceding too much to men to say the bill is
perfect and cannot be improved upon.
AS there is plenty of time before the end
Of the session to thoroughly scrutinize the
bill, and as there exists no occasion for i'm.
mediate action, the election bill with which
it comedies having been sent to the cover.
nor, it is expected that the legislature will
give the metropolitan city bill the care and
consideration which the Importance of the
measure demands.

omipations for the council have been
made, the names published, and now let the
Liberals themselves talk, provided they
have not been struck dumb. The list of
nominees was published in Fridays pa
pers and nothing more need be said on our
part. The ticket furnishes all the comment
that is called for, all that is necessary. If
anybody requires more he must be a
''pork." He would be satisfied with roth
ing. 1t wouldn't content him if he were to
see the nominees grouped in the council
chamber framing and discussing ordin-
ances for the government of this city
"a spectacle which would command the
attention of even the gods. He would say
it was not enough 10 witness the gentle
men wrestling with the financial problems
of this great and growing municipality.
We believe he would actually draw odious
comparisons with the body which has
welded the destinies of the city during the
past two years, and would not then even
be content.
The HERALD lacks confidence in its
ability to please the Liberals by anything
it might say regarding the ticket, and as
other people don't care, what's the use
trying to say anything? The ticket will
speak for itself.

The ELECTION BILL.

The bill changing the time for holding
municipal and county elections, and fixing
the tenure of Office, was passed in the
House on Tuesday and now only awaits
the signature OF the governor to become
law. 1t is assumed that the executive will
give the measure his prompt approval, be-
cause his party has more than once de-
clared in favor of just such a law and the
governor himself, at the opening Of the ses-
sion Two weeks ago directed special atten-
ton to the benefits of the change here pro-
posed He cannot with any degree of pro-
priety now refuse to concur in action which
he has favored publicly and privately for
years and urged in his message only few
days since. Besides, the people are almost
unanimous in the desire that the bill shall
become law. Only those are opposed to it
who are aspirants to office in this city
and the political bosses who hope to
have the manipulation of things for
the official terms succeeding the one about
to expire. Even these, the aspirants and
the bosses, say the change should be made,
but they do not want it to apply to Salt
Lake city at this time. Their opposition
should carry 40 weight, for whenever the
law shall require the holding of all cleo
lions on one day, there will occur just such
situation as is now presented; that is to
say, terms OF incumbent officials will have
to be extended, and certain aspirants te
offices, either county or municipal, will
insist that there be postponement of the
change as to their cases. The bill now be-
fore the governor delays the Salt Lake anG
Provo elections just nine months, and the
county elections three months, and the
postponement comes at a time when it viii
occasion no disturbance whatever in thu
political machinery of either the city Oh
county governments. 1t could not harper
more opportunity.
