What the People are Saying.

What the People are Saying.
"Will it pay to make the invest
ment?" asks the mayor in his eX-
haustive message upon the sewer
age proposition.
1t has paid every city that has
made the investment, why not
ours?
So we'll satisfied are private
spectators that it will pay that
proposition has already been
made to build sewers by cOrpO-
ration. If we want to sell out our
city completely turn over the sew
ers to a private corporation.
The street cars, water works and
light corporations only need the
sewer corporation to complete the
surrender of our municipality and
bind our taxpayers down to COM
plete slavery for the next genera
ton to come.
Hundreds of our taxpayers,
owning property, removed from
the center of the city, have become
tired of bearing the burdens placed
upon them to pay the eXhorbitant
demands of corporations, while
they remained outside the benefits
derived from the modern convent
ences of city.
1t is high time system of pub
lie improvements was inaugurated
that will be some adequate return
for the taxes paid, and that will
reach out to every taxpayer in the
city limits.
The taxpayer is entitled to all he
pays for, but as long as private
corporations control the water,
light and sewerage, the tax
payer must be wealthy and
influential if his demands
are not agreeable to the private
corporations, or else neither his
prayers or his rights will be re-
spected.
We must have sewers. We must
have cheaper water, and cheaper
light; but it is enough to take one
thing at a time. Sewers first, the
water problem will be solved at
the same time.
Our city cannot go backward. 1t
is to the interest of every citizen
to promote this important meas
ure.

A Bridge Across the English Channel

Most of our readers will remember
the state of abjcct dismay into which
II large part of the people of England
were plunged by the proposal to
pierce the bed Of the channel between
that country and France with tun
mel, For time it seemed as If the
country had been turned upside down,
and Englishmen were living in dread
OF "Buonaparte'-they took silly
pleasure then in using the Italian
spclling-and expected to see the
invincible body guard charge out OF
the black hole on the coast and the
Imperial army follow, to lay waste
the land, capture the men and capt..
vate the women. The fact that Il
dynamite car ridge which an English
man could carry in his sack. Goa,
pocket would block tunnel beyond
repair for months, was not given /
moments consideration. The girdl,
of the invioute sea was threatened
The thought was intolerable. Blu
now it is gravely proposed to bridg,
the channel, and though this is /
project us old as the English railway
system, it has been very elahorately
developed by French and Englisl
engineers, aided by Sir John Fowl
and Sir Benjamin Baker, designers o
the Forth Bridge, and it is evidently
to be pressed in good faith and W IL
hope of success. 1t is intended t
be nearly Is miles in length, restin!
on ~ piers, alternately l,3lO ant
l,63O feet apart, and constructed OF
the canlilever principle. But if Eng
lishmen were alarmed at II tunnel
what will they say to bridge tina
requir, six dozen obstacles of mos
formidable kind to the navigation o
the channel? But then English pani
is a most uncertain phenomenon
quite as apt to be missing when
would be reasonable as to be very un
reasonable when there is no occasion
for it.-Harpers Weekly.

CHURCHES AND BUSINESS.
Strange Uses to Which Houses Of
Worship Have Been Devoted.

Worship Have Been Devoted.
Our ancestors transacted a good
deal of business of one kind and an
other in and about their churches.
To begin with the churches of old
England in turbulent times we're re-
garded as places of safe custody for
public and private property. In the
border land of England and Scot
land the idea was carried out still
more completely, and churches, or
at least their towers, became regular
fortresses, and not infrequently we're
objects of otfense and defense. We
may note in rural England that in
the cases of ancient churches the
towers are often not merely dispro-
portionate in size to the rest of the
church, but are carefully and strong
ly built, evidently with an object.
Even in peaceful Surrey and Sus-
sex the belfries are veritable strong
rooms with barred windows and
massive doors, and often contain an
ancient treasure chest. Hither, at
the first alarm, money and valuables
were hurried, for, beyond the secur-
ity of thick walls and bars and bolts,
there was an egis of sanctity which
in superstitious age protected the
building from the most ruthless of
foes. The fortress-like construction
of many of the border land churches
is an interesting study to antiquaries.
In more than one well-known case
the holy editice consists merely of a
barn attached to but walled off from
a regular Pele tower. Even in South
ern England semi-military charac-
ter is given sometimes to church
tower by the cresset, wherefrom, in
cases of general danger, such for in
stance as the Spanish armada or the
French incursions of later period,
the beacon fire spread the news from
town to town and from village to
village.
In lone districts, such as the
marshland of Kent and the Fen
country Of Lincolnshire, the tall
church-towers which are such pro-
minent features in the landscape
served very important purpose, in
asmuch as they were landmarks for
travellers, and even to-day the pedes-
trian has reason to be thankful for
the guiding presence of Boston
stump" or Lydd tower at the close
of hard days walking. In later
age than that of civil war the vaults
of coast churches played very i'm
portant part in what was an impor-
tant branch of business. When a
new rector was appointed to church
in the wealds of Kent or Sussex it
was usual for him to receive con-
tribution to his wine-cellar, accom-,
panied by concise intimation that
out of regard for the future peace
and happiness, and, perhaps safety
he would do well not to inquire toe
closely into the uses to which the
vaults beneath his church were put

For some months the mortuary
reports of the Board of Health have
indicated an improvement in the
health of Honolulu and the care of
young children. Although fourth
of the deaths in April were of babes
under one year, there is only one
case from one to ten. A fourth save
one died from old age. The com
parative monthly mortality shows a
decrease. 1t is sad to see the annual
death rate per thousand still far the
highest for Hawaiians among all
nationalities.

English Interest in Hawaii.

England so persistently fails to
protest" and SO TRANQUILITY accepts
American protection for British sub
jects and property in Hawaii, that it
may be expected that the gentlemen
composing the provisional govern
ment of that country will soon be
heard from complaining that the old
country is playing deep game of
dumb insolence," and demanding
that Sir Julian Pauncefote be given
his passports on account of insult
ing silence" The truth is that Eng
land has been on record for over
twenty years past in regard to her
wishes for the future of the Hawai-
ian Islands. At that time she was
determining whether or not to build
a great fortress at Vancouver as a
set-otf to the Russian one at Vladi-
vOstock. She took into full consider
alton the situation and possibilities
of the islands, and concluded that
she had no use for them herself, but
would be glad to see the United
States take them in out of harms S
way. They were not within striking
distance of any place she had to de-
fend, and their possession could be
of no conceivable use to her. The
only desire she had in regard to
them was that they might not fall
into Russian hands. That danger
not very imminent one, could best
be averted by the United States
entering" (as London paper re-
Gently put it, upon their manifest
destiny and becoming one in the

roe doctrine, and no foreign entan
