An unexpected incidsut has marked the

MAPPING OUT THE CITY.

1t would be an excellent poilcy,
and one which would save great cost
in the future, if the Government
would create a commission for lay
ing out streets, and public places,
in and around the city, and even
into the valleys. 4 map OF these
proposed improvements should De
fled, indicating the lines of i'm
provement. It should then be pro-
yided that 10 one would ever be
permitted to obtain compensation
for erecting any buildings within
the lines of the proposed improve
ments. The result would be that,
even if the streets and public places
were not opened, no one would en-
croach on the lines, and there
would be a uniformity in building.
Whenever the property was taken
for the improvements, even II de-
layed for many years, no buildings
would be destroyed, and purchases
and sales would be made on the
line of the streets, as laid out on
the maps. In the city OF New
York, maps of this kind were filed
in the year 1908, and many streets
have not been opened to this date.
A value would be given to property
because dealers would know just
what TO expect.

A HAPPY NEW TEAR

Tomorrow is New Years day,
and there will be no issue OF this
paper.
The ADVERTISER wishes a happy
New Year to all Of It's readers;
happy New Year to the sweet
young Republic Of Hawaii, which
gracefully arose last July out OF
this great tranquil sea, just as
Venus rose, in the legends, out OF
the Egian sea- One sees above
her. in the night hours, the sha-
doys of her sister, Columbia; in
her hand the dim tracings OF flag,
with many stars within it, and the
passing clouds throwing stripes
across it "a happy New Year to
President Dole and his Cabinet, in
whom good men and women trust
and of whom the prophet, if he
were alive, might say, beautiful
are their (political) feet on the
tops of the purple mountains )"
This sentiment includes all OF
their feet, without regard to the size
of shoes) happy New Year to
all those whose hands the dying
wear has touched and opened for
those in want, and happy Ne"
Year to the kind Lady Bountiful,
living on the margin of the emer-
aid sea, within the shadows OF Dia-
mond Head, who held her wand
over the appealing Charities of the
CITY. and shook from tia shower OF
gold, which:freshened their hearts,
as the rain freshens the earth.
And TO those who prevent other
people from ever having any happy
New Years, by their idle gossip
we put before them the denuncla-
tons of the Apostle James, who be-
lieved that the Hebrew community
was suffering from the pest OF the
unbridled tongue.
aHebrew society, everywhere, was
made all but uncomfortable by the
poison of envenomed tongues. Had
we a land flowing with milk and
honey, with abundant springs pour
ing out of the mountains, and water
ing all the pastures; had we fruit
growing in luxuriance, and every
man sitting under his own vine and
fig tree, a pleasing prospect on every
hand OF US, and labor reduced to a
mere pleasant exercise; had we Para
disc expanded to all parts OF the hao-
table globe-with the human tongue
let loose to perform its favorite WORK,
our Paradise would be miserable
failure. A wilderness, with some gov
eminent of the tongue in IL, would DC

of their fellowmen and women, pos

II THE Yale Law Journal OF
December Chief Justice Judd bias
an article on the constitution OF the
Hawaiian Republic. He gives a
brief history Of its formation, and
the preliminary debate regarding
it, by President Dole. OF the per-
sons who took part in the debate,
he says ten were lawyers ten were
Hawaiian born. OF the sixteen,
four were graduates Of Yale, three
were academic and one Of the Law
School. His analysis Of the new
constitution is valuable, and gives
TO American lawyers an excellent
summary Of it, and its distinct
features.

AN INCIDENT OF ROYALTY.

Not long before the monarchy
expired, the ex-Queen made a visit
to one of the other islands. She
was attended by her staff, in full
uniform, on her way from the
palace to the steamer, and her
driver and footman were IN full
regfmentals. As the latter stood
up when Her Majesty passed, they
exposed the calves of their legs,
which were covered with stockings
reaching to the knees. On each
stocking appeared, in distinct let
tiers, these words: The finest Bal
brigans in the world"
These articles had been pur-
chased at a cheap John store, and,
owing TO carelessness in the house
hold department, the advertise
ment had not been noticed or re-
moved.

CORRUPT OFFICIALS.

The advance in social reform was
exceedingly well illustrated in New
York City on the 18th Of this
month, when Police Captain Cree
den went before the Lexow COM
mittee of the Legislature, and vol
UNFAIRLY testified that he paid $751;
900 for his appointment. His can
did confession of it, and his state
ment that the amount was exacted
from him by his superior officers,
prompted the committee to declare
that they would insist on his re-
naming In Office. Good citizens
were greatly shocked at this revela-
ton of iniquity. At the same time,
they forget that rhsy are, them
selves, largely responsible for IT,
There is no political corruption,
unless the people assent toi it. The
neglect of political duty. invites
dishonesty. The great railway
kings of America, have said, for
years, that they were forced TO pur-
chase protection, and privileges
from legislators, because men got
themselves elected to Office, only
for the sake Of "boodle."
Offices are administered honestly
or dishonesty, as the people de-
sire. If the voters neglect their
duties, or are led away by false
issues, then ignorant aud incapa-
BILE men get into office, and the
stealing begins. While the men
who are corrupt in Office should be
punished, every voter who does not
do his duty should be punished,
too. The average sick man wants
his doctor to cure him, by giving

will deny and most people
believe that a large portion of
it comes in vessels plying be-
tween ports on the Pacific
Coast and the Hawaiian Isl
ands. To acknowledge this
as a fact is to argue that the
men who bring it here and
land it successfully are smart
er in their business than the
men employed by the Govern
ment to keep it out. Where's
the remedy?
On the other hand 1t is
believed that opium is landed
from numerous small schoon-
ers sailing out of Victoria and
Vancouver, which clear for the
Japan Sea with permission to
stop and trade at ports in the
Hawaiian Islands. If the

small islands to windward
could bark their information
of the doings of these long
rakish crafts" what a yelping
there would be. There might
be a check put on this class of
customers if the Government
would petition the Custom
House authorities of the
United States and British
Columbia at ports along the
Coast to deny the masters of
these small sailing vessels
clearance papers, such as is
mentioned above. A request
of this character would be
honored without a question,
and opium smuggling through
that source might have set
back. If, in the opinion of the
Government it is not a good
thing to license the drug it
looks to a man up a tree. as
though extraordinary means
should be taken to prevent its
importation. What's the matter

When the nomination is made, with
what consistency can they support

to us,it will be clear out Of harmony.
They are now tearing down, and
then they will have to go among the

PEFFER,S PREDICTION.

SENATOR H6HeF, OF Kansas, oI
whiskers fame, gets off the following
terrible prediction. The ola gent
is evidently very much wrought up ;
"a day of retribution is coming !;
a day Of reckoning is nigh at hand.
The people will smite their enemy.
In their wrath this great crime will
be avenged. Standing as do in
the night OF the nineteenth century,
and looking toward the dawn of the
twentieth, | see coming wave Of
fire and blood. | pray God that it
may spend its force upon the sea.
Behind me is Rome, and before me
what God alone, in his infinite
wisdom. knows
PETER is Populist Of wild theo-
ries, and is of that class that is all
the time predicting war and blood
she'd" Secretary os State Osborn,
of Kansas, recently became highly
incensed and said that the Farmers
of Kansas are selling off their cows
and buying guns" preparing tor
war, to 'burn the palatial residences
of the rich and let blood flow. We
believe this to be SANDER on the
farmers, hut there are other Popu-
lists there and elsewhere who want
to kill somebody. They want war.
They are Of the John Brown stripe,
who marched to Harper's Ferry to
create insurrection, and was hung
for his pains.
The Southern people do not want
war. They have had enough of it
and know what it means.
Whenever tae Populists start their
war to burn paIatial residences"
and kill rich men, they will find that
the men upon whom they wish to
reek their vengeance, the million
aires, will step across the line irto
Canada, and, under the protection
of the British flag, defy molestation,
and then when the poor men in the
United States get through killing
each other, and "Uncle Sam" has
enforced peace at the mouths OF gat-
lin guns, these rich men will step
back into the United States and
proceed to enjoy themselves, while
those who wanted war and preolpi-
tated war, will be rotting under the
/ ground as tho victims of their own
rashness, brought on by bad advis,
ers. War is generally the poor
mans fight.
There is no necessity OF war in
this country. The people do not
have to resort to bullers TO carry
out their wishes. They have more
potent and satisfactory weapon
! the ballot. Let them shoot their
ballots right and they will accom-
plish their purposes quicker than
bathing the la1d in blood aud turns
ing homes into ashes, creating wid>
ows and orphans, desolation and
distress.
Where would relief come to any
man from such deplorable and dire
tul consequences
The people of this Republican
form of government do not appre-
ciate their blessings, and will not
until they lose them.

The heavy export movement of
gold to Europe aside from weaken,
ing the gold reserve in the United
States treasury, is reducing to the
extent of the export the circulat-
ing medium OF this county, 1t is
estimated in official circles that more
than 100000 in gold has gone
out OF the United States since May
!, OF which upward of S10,0O0,000
was taken out of the treasury.
Thus to the extent of S12,000,000
the circulation has been reduced.
So to secure gold legal tender notes
must be withdrawn from circulation
and paid into the treasury for gold.
This contraction of the currency
makes money scarcer and therefore
more valuable. Since the repeal of
the Sherman law there are but three
ways to increase the circulation of
moneyin the United States, Wis: By
importing specie, by issuing national
bank notes and by coming the do
