HAwAII'S

Affairs in Hawaii have always inter
ested Americans ever since Don Quixote
Stevens raised the stars and stripes at
Honolu u and proclaimed an American
protectorate over the Kanakans.
The bold bravery Of Dole and the pro
v~isional government, the blood thirsti-
ness of the dusky queen, the strange and
unusual diplomatic complications in
volved in the affair have engaged our at
tention for many months.
Dispatches state that a constitutional
convention has been called to formulate
a definite form Of government.
A platform of principles has been sub
stantially agreed upon as follows:
i. To support the provisional govern.
ment.
2 Resist the restoration Of monarchy.
3. Establish a practicable form Of rep
r~esentative government,
4. The government to be united as soon
as possible with that of the United States.
5. Liberal policy in di posing of public
lands in small tracts to actual settlers and
diScouraging large speculative holdings
6. Revision ofthetaxation system, large
estates 20 bear their proper share Of the
public burdens.
Z. Favor Immigration Of Portuguese
and other whites to replace Asiatics.
s.. No class legiNation discrimination
against any class of loyal citizens.
8. Liberal system of productive public
works.
10. Needed labor and material for
public service not to be imported from

THE RACE IS ON.

Since the patent on the hand phones
of the American Bell monopoly expired
February /, exchanges have been form
ing in various parts of the country offer
ing to furnish phones at half the rate of
the Bell company.
But since the first patent on the essen
tial principle of the telephone, many
other improvements, almost essentials,
have been added to the Bell instrument,
and these are all covered by patents that
will not expire for several years yet
And the Bell company will not soon
release its dead cinch' on the micro,
phone, and the valuable Berliner and
Edison patents.
These new telephone exchanges will
either have to get another phone from
that now used or else pay the Bell mo.
nopoly a big royalty.
Popular telephone service will be a
godsend to the country, hut it looks as If
We were not quite out of the woods yet,
The American Bell company is strong'
wealthy, influential. 1t will of course
do everything it can to hold its grip on
the telephone.
But the new exchanges have the peo-
pie on their side, Lots Of people will
rather use inferior phones, than let the
monopoly win the fight.
The race is on.
The best horse will come ia first at II e
finish.

BEHIND THE AGE.

Vice President Wickes of the Pullman
Car Company has imbibed the spirit of an
earlier generation. When before the Ma
tiOnal Labor Commission he was asked if
he did not think it would be a good plan
to increase wages during prosperous years
since the company pleaded the necessity
of reducing wages in years of adversely.
To this the embodied spirit of old slave
days replied:
We go into the market for men Just as we do
for materials. 1t is all regulated by the law of
supply and demand. We don't recognize the
men as members OF unions. but as individuals
II they are not able to plead their own case 1t
is their own misfortune.
In the estimation of Mr.. Wickes there
does not seem to be much difference be-
tween man and bar Of iron. Some
men are worth more than others Just as
some bars Of iron are worth more than
others. Mr.. Wickes would buy both in the
cheapest market. If the inability of
man 20 plead his own case relegates him
to the lowest rank, so much the worse for
the man. No duty 10 society is recogn ized.
1t is nothing to Mr.. Wickes whether or not
the lowest price at which he can buy
work is sufficient to enable the worker TO
maintain the conditions our civilization
demands. He sees no women and children
to be cared for, no future citizens TO be edu-
Gated TO perform their political and social
duties. The man would have been an eff
cient slave-driver to an owner of the same
grade of brutality
The morning call., 1894-09-07
NON-POLITiCAL OFFICES.

Our Democratic contemporary says:
No citizens of sense will care for party names
n voting for members of the board the Rail-
road Commission.
Citizens of sense will possibly appreciate
this remark sufficiently to apply it to
other non-poitical offices. In this State
a railroad commission is for the railroad
or for the people Being for the people
does not imply desire to deny the rail-
road any of its just rights. The people
want a commission to sit in a judicial
capacity. No one wants the railroad CON-
PEELED to work for less than a fair COM
pensation. What the public wants is a
commission that will ascertain as nearly
as may be what fair compensation is, and
to hold the railroad to service on that
basis OF compensation. 1t does not make
a particle of difference whether a com
missioner is Republican or Democratic, so
that he is capable of reaching just con-
clusions and firm inenforcing them. The
Southern Pacific has used party names to
facilitate its control of the commission
just as spOilsmen have used party names
to enable them TO keep possession of muni-
cipal offices. There Is not an Office in the
gift>of the municipality which is not as free
from national party obligations as the
Office of Railroad Commissioner. What
difference does it make whether our Mayor
o is Republican or Democratic. so that he is
a gentleman in the proper sense of the
word. familiar with the city's needs, cap
able of performing the duties of the office
aud broad enough in his views not to dis
criminate between political friends and
opponents. So with heads of departments,
with municipal legislative boards and
school directors. When citizens of sense
whom our contemporary refers to cease to
vote for unfit men because such happen
to be on their party ticket. and cease to
exonerate official rascals because they are
political friends, we shall have laid the
basis of good municipal government.

STONEMAN AND BANKS.

The brief period of time which divided
the death of Stonemau from that OF Banks
naturally suggests a comparison between
the two. Banks was the elder man by six
years. But Stoneman had the advantage in
point of training. He was a graduate OF
West Point. and entered the First Dragons
Just about the time that Banks, who had
been a machinist in a cotton factory, and
had studied law in his leisure moments,
was admitted to the bar of Massachusetts.
From that period until the outbreak of the
civil war, Stoneman pursued the exercise
OF his profession unobtrusively, while
Banks plunged into politics. rose to
prominent place in the ranks Of the Free
soil Democrats. Know-nothings and Re-
by three successive elections as Governor
of Massachusetts. The war thus found
the two men in different spheres Banks
was alFeady-at forty-four-a political
leader with national possibilities; no one
would have known anything of Stoneman
if he had not brought off his command of
the Second Cavalry with their arms and
stores, when his commanding officer
Twiggs surrendered to the insurgents In
Texas.
For a year or more the two men COM
manded army corps in the Army OF the
Potomac with varying fortunes. The i'm
preston in the public mind at that time
was that while Stoneman was dashing
cavalry officer of the type of Ney, Banks

are now in the third month since the fair
gave up the ghost. and the fences which
inclose its one-time territory are still

view. When the Spectators and others
who planned and conducted the fair were
negotiating for a free site in Golden Gate
Park they were profuse in their promises
as to restoration of the ground to the pub
lie when the speculation should come to
its natural end. Little attention would
have been paid to their promise h ad not
the Park Commissioners made the condi-
tions upon which their control over the
ground should be surrendered. In respect
to the question, ''What are our Park Com
missioners doiDg?" we can only refer our
correspondents to the Commissioners
themselves. They are possibly waiting TO
hear from the public. y good many pub
lie servants only move when the pressure
of public opinion is applied to them.
