the authority of the national legisIa-

the authority of the national legisla-
! ture.
In 1859 the lives and property of
American citizens were endangered
by lawlessness on the Isthmus OF
Panama, In Central America and
in Mexico. and President Buchan-
an did not feel that he could exert
even such pressure as was neces-
sary for their efficient protection
without Congressional authority.
In his annual message he said
l deem it my duty once more earn
estly to recommend to Congress the
passage Of law authorizing the Pres
1dent to employ the naval force at his
command for the purpose Of protect
ing the lives and property of Ameri
can citizens passing in transit across
the Panama, Nicaragua and Tehuan-
tepec routes against sudden outbreaks
and depredations. i would also again
recommend to Congress that authori-
ty be given TO the President to employ
the naval force to protect American
merchant vessels, their crews and car
goes, against violent and lawless seiZ-
ures and confiscation in the ports of
Mexico and the Spanish-AmerIcan
States, when these countries may be
in disturbed and revolutionary con-
dition. The mere knowledge that
such authority had been conferred, as
have already stated, would of itself
in great degree prevent the evil.
In 1905 the Spaniards were COM
hitting depredations on American
territory. President Jefferson gave
this explanation of his method of
meeting them:
constItutionally invested with the
power of changing our condition from
peace Ito war, have thought it my
duty TO await their authority for using
force in any degree that could be
avoided. L have barely instructed the
officers stationed in the neighborhood
of the agressions to protect our citi-
Zens from violence, to patrol within
the borders actually delivered to us,
and not to go out of them but when
necessary to repel an inroad, or to
rescue citizen or his property.
No doubt the members of the
Hawaiian Provisional Government
are acquainted with this unbroken
line of precedents. They know that
while force may be threatened, no
American President would venture
to exercise it without the authority
of Congress, and their knowledge of
this fact, and action upon it, may
have been responsible for the sud-
den cipher dispatch from Minister
Willis and the apparent embarrass-
ment of the Administrations. f.

gates would be blank page. AS pro
meters of profanity they have few equals
and no superiors.
The reason is easily made apparent
when it is stated that they are all draw
bridges of various styles, and that after
the manner of their kind they are gen
orally open when q man comes along in
hurry and wants to cross the river.
The only occasion on which they are
certain to be closed and passable is when
the wayfarer has plenty of time to spare,
or when he has an irksome engagement
to keep which an open bridge would give
him an excuse for breaking. Then he
will be able to walk across Just as if
there were no draw. But if he wants to
get over the river to cash check at the
banl, or q money order at the postofice
just before closing hour, or to catch a
train, or to meet his best girl in time for
the theater. Vhy, that bridge will hold
him up just az effectively as lone high
wayInan does a western railroad train.
And such holdups are not provocative of
mild verbiage.
Chicagoans rather like it, if their news
papers are to be credited, though there
is a strong suspicion in st. Louis and
New York that they only pretend to like
it for Worlds fair purposes. At any
rate, they make little splurge whenever
new bridge Is opened or q new kind of
u bridge projected and point with
pride" to two or three unique affairs that
were invented for their especial benefit,
One of them is the ''jackknife' bridge, so
called because the draw shuts up some
thing like poclletknife. Then there is
the rolling bridge, which forms when
closed three hinged arch, and each half
of which on opening rolls back on cir
cular segment and forms an impossible
barrier across the roadway. Most OF
the bridges, however, are of the old mid
stream pivotal swinging type. The
largest bridge in the city is that at jack
son street, which is $50 feet long.
The new lift bridge" at South Hal
stead street is a novel application of the
elevator idea. The general plan of rails
ing it is the same as that of an ordinary
elevator. AT each end of the span, on
either side of the river, is a high steel
tower, at the top of which are the pull
leys over which the hosting cables pass
These towers are high enough to permit
the bridge to be raised 40 feet. AS the
bridge when closed is 10 feet above the
waters surface, this gives a total clear
ance of 155 feet, quite sufficient to clear
the tallest masts. The structure is cal
culated to resist the pressure of a wind
blowing 100 miles an hour and is thus
reckoned to be entirely safe, unless all
Chicago begins talking at once. The
roadway will accommodate four lines of
teams and has two sidewalks about IL
feet wide. The bridge can be raised to
its full height in 90 seconds, but the only
people who know how long it takes to
get it down again are those who want to
cross it in a hurry.
Chicago bridges are necessary nui-
sapces perhaps, but something ought to
be done to make the city somewhat less
on them. The three tunnels
under the river suggest a way of doing
this. There ought to be more of them.

How often it has been said by
the croakers that there is no
business, everything is dead,
times are hard, and everything
is going to the bad here in
Honolulu, but the Cali
fornia Feed Co. are not built
that way; we say business is
good and getting better every
month. And to prove what we
say we have had to take larger
and more commodious ware
houses. We have just COM
pleted arrangements with Mr..
j. F. Colburn, whereby he
gives up his old stand, corner
Queen and Nuuanu streets.
We take possession on Novem-
Der 18th. Our old place at Leleo
is too small for our fast increas-
ing business, hence the change.
We expect the Hawaiian
bark Mauna Ala to arrive
here again in a few days
with her fourth full cargo
of hay and grain bought
by our Mr.. J. n. Wright who
will arrive on the bark. We
prefer to select our merchan-
disc ourselves rather than have
others do it, which means
that we get better goods at a
less price.
We thank our many friends
for their liberal patronage for
the past three years, and hope
by strict attention to q bust
ness we thoroughly understand
to merit the patronage of as
many more.
We intend to keep a large,
well selected stock of the
very best hay and grain to be
had in the California market,
and we are going to sell it.

BRIDGES OF CHICAGO.

vexatious Delays to Pedestrians and Street
Fifty Bridges In Au-The New and Novel
Lift Bridge.
Worlds fair visitors had many oppor-
!unities to learn something new about
bridges IN Chicago. Those who had
4 scientific interest in bridges could
study them 10 their hearts content in
the very int resting and exhaustive dis
play in the civil engineering department
of the Liberal Arts building. Those of
them who had no other interest in
bridges than knowing when they were
safe to cross were yet compelled 70 learn
considerable about them from the nu-
merous and varied examples with which
Chicago has so literally spanned the
muddy waters of her sluggish river.
Whether or not in erecting these
bridges Chicago had an eye single to the
convenience of her citizens the vera
cious chronicler is unable to state. But
if she had a supplementary idea OF en-
riching the already copious vocabulary
Of international explosives common can
dor compels the admission that she has
been eminently successful. There are
So bridges situated at the more impor-
tant street crossings, and it is safe TO
wager that each and every one OF them
is daily more execrated in more kinds of
more languages than any other institu-
ton on earth. An expurgated citation
of the opinions of Chicago bridges e.x-
