THE STAR ON STREETS.

After having told a wondering
world that Honolulu had about
the next to the best streets of any
city on the globe, and attributing
that excellent local condition
mainly to its own exclusively
serious discussion of the subject
OF streets, the Star switches out of
the orbit of hattery and with ill.
concealed bitterness asserts in
effect that the street-makers Of the
present regime do not know their
business. This is serious" dis
cussiou with vengeance and it will
be an archipelsgo's wonder if the
Minister of the Interior does not
resent the impertinence by plac-
ing the Star on his blacklist for
boycotting. That member of the
Executive, the Star is apt
t. find out, not only does not in
vite criticism of anything done
in his department, but will not
brook the faintest reflection of
public opinion adverse to the
work of any bureau under his
supervision. 1t would be pre-
mature, however, simply on ac-
count Of the break mentioned, to
welcome the Star into the ranks
of Independent journalism where
it might resist executive tyranny
over public opinion. More likely
that paper may be expected to
take It all back" rather than have
the boycott confirmed against it,
which is the only response the
Interior Department has in store
for any complaint or criticism
from the public through the press.
In its discovery that "there seems
to be quite radical fault in both
the theory and practice for street
surfacing in Honolulu" the Star
is following the initiative of the
BULLETIN great distance in the
rear. For fourteen years, under
different ownerships and con.
ductorships, the BULLETIN has
hammered upon the same "radi-
cal fault" If the Star should
surprise itself and its owners by
persevering in the campaign so
bravely opened, it might do worse
than reprint some of the practical
discussions of the matter which
have appeared-some within few
weeks past and some in years be-
fore the Star twinkled 49, in the
columns of the BULLETIN. There
are many miles of street in Homo
lulu as we'll made as could be
according to the system in
vogue, and those not subject I
to conditions making them Pc
cGliarly liable to damage from
storm floods are maintained !
with credit. Yet every year wit.
nesses a tremendous destruction
of costly street work by storms,
which could be avoided by scien-
tiic road engineering. In grad
ing, draining and surfacing, such !
in each and all as would obviate
devastation by storm waters, there
is room indeed for radical i'm

Topics
ON
CHOPPERS, BIRD
CAGES AND RAIN
GAUGES.

Before Whitelaw Reid be-
came Minister to France he
devoted a good deal of his
time to the conduct of his pa
per, the Tribune. The copy
editors who put up the head
lines of stories of the day fell
into the habit OF making most
of them interrogative, as, for
instance, "Was it murder or
Suicide?" or did she kill him
for love?" or Twill the PreSi-
dent sign it, etc.
The whole paper was speck-
led with interrogative points.
The thing had been going for
weeks, till one day a postal ar
rived, addressed to Mr.. Reid,
and marked personal. 1t read
as follows:
"Tm getting awful tired of
your questions. Why don't
you find out something? A
great newspaper is supposed to
know everything, and ought
not to annoy its readers with
needless inquiries. This morn
ing you asked: "Will Mr..
Plat CONSENT" How the HI
do | know?
That night an order came
that the Tribune must ask few
err questions.
In spite of Whitelaw Reds
experience we are tempted to
ask the people of Hawaii a few
leading questions, just an even
half a dozen of them.
QUESTION l-Haveyou seen
the new improved American
MEAT and VEGETABLE CHOP
PER? If you haven't it will pay
you to call and take a look at it.
1t has an automatic rotarymove-
ment as we'll as the up and |
down chopping motion. They |
are simply and cheap and a
child can operate them.
QUESTION2-Have you seen
the new BRASS BIRD CAGES
we have just received? They |
are beauties and they only cost |
from $3.50 to $3.50 according
to style.
QUESTION3-Have you seen |
the PAINTED Bird Cages we
are offering at $1.25 to $500? |
QUESTION 4-Have you seen
the HARTMAN STEEL WIRE
MATS we are offering? The
rainy season is coming on and
they are just what you want.
They are cheap, Clearly and
indeStruCtible.
QUESTIONS-Have you seen
the RAIN GAUGES we have
lately imported? With one of
these little instruments you
can laugh at the Clerk of the
Weather and give him a point
er after every storm.
QUESTIONo-Haveyou seen
the latest thing out2 1t is a
portable bootblack stand, made
of iron, which can be screwed
to a post anywhere and moved
in any direction. Must be seen
to be appreciated. Complete
with brushes, two kinds of
