The prompt attention which the Elk
acutive is giving to the Honolulu sew
erage problem is to be commended.
. After all has been said in favor OF the
roads, wharves, school buildings and
other items in the list of public works,
there is nothing of more vital import
ance or that demands more speedy and
undivided consideration than this same
question of sewerage. While the time
NAV come-and we doubt if it will
when the principal channels of Ha-
waiian trade will not center at Homo
lulu. it is certain that for quite a num-
her of years to come the city will play
mite A prominent part in commercial
circles. The severe lesson of last year
proved that the outbreak of serious
endemic here means almost complete
stagnation of inter-island trade. Hence,
viewing the matter from purely COM
merciaI standpoint, it is good business
to place all the sanitary safeguards
Dossible about this central city. The
methods used in guarding against in
lection from other countries are quite
satisfactory. 1t is now not only quite
proper, but a positive necessity, that
the cesspools of the city should be at
tended to. The fact that the cart has
been put before the horse in previous
years, and the community has been
running great risks for such long pc
Rod of years is no argument in favor of
continuing the present order of sanitary
affairs. No better investment of the
peoples money can be made than in the
construction of a system that will Sc
cure proper drainage for this city.

sance of modern society. The new
woman wants to retain all the privileges
of her sex, and secure. besides, all those
of man. She wants to be a man and to
remain a woman. She will fail to be-
come a man, but she may succeed in
ceasing to be a woman"
1t will be noted that the witty French
man is dealing with the class of women
who go about the country bowling
about their rights, which rights are
those cherished by the woman who has
a desire to wear boomers, so she can
stand with her hands in her pockets
like a man. The majority of the Anglo
Saxon race will agree with him that the
new woman to whom he draws atten-
ton is indeed one of the most ''ridicu-
lous productions of modern times" He
has, however, forgotten the true new
woman of modern American life, the
woman who does not waste her time
harping on rights, but quietly, modestly
and persistentIy' labOrs to raise the
standard of intellectual and broad
minded womanhood. A woman of this
type who has recently gained promi-
nence is the wife of William J. Bryan
the Democratic candidate for United
States President. She is a woman who,
after her college course, took the full
course in law and was admitted to the
bar. Her study of law was not to en-
able her to gain prominence as among
the first petticoat lawyers, but rather, as
she says, with a view to bringing my
self in closer touch with my husbands
work"
This last type Max O'Rell probably
includes in the good society,"" conse-
quently he can be forgiven for the terse
criticism of the brazen extremists.

MAX O'RELL AND THE NEW
WOMAN.

The new woman" controversy, to
which the North American Review has
for some months given liberal space, is
enlivened in the July issue by contri-
button from Max O'Rell. This writer
naturally takes the French womanhood
as a type While there are many who
would disagree with his selection of a
type" there is much truth in some OF
his remarks upon the new woman"
Max O'ReN gives the American
women of good society the credit of
being satisfied with their lot, (which
consists in being the adored goddesses
of refined households; but he main
tains that among the middle classes
there exist restless, bumptious, ever
poking-their-no ses-eyerywhere women
who are slowly but surely and safely
transforming this great land of liberty
into a land of petty, fussy tyranny, and
trying, often with complete success, to
impose on the community fads of every
shape and form.
If there is one country in the world"
pear, in the eyes of the foreign visitor,
to enjoy all manner of privileges and
TO have the men in leading strings, that
country is America. You would inn
agine, therefore, that America should
be the last country where the new
woman was to be found airing her
grievances. Yet she is fOurishing
throughout the length and breadth of
this huge continent. She is petted by
her husband, the most devoted and
Woodworking of husbands in the world;
she is literally covered with precious
stones by him. She is the superior of
her husband in education and in almost
every respect. She is surrounded by the
most numerous and delicate attentions
Yet she is not satisfied.
THE AngIo-Saxon new woman is
the most ridiculous production of mod
ern times and is destined to be the most
CHASTITY failure of the century. She is

ance, and self-labeled the greatest nui-

THE PACIFIC


II is unfortunate indeed that Com
missioner Marsden's remarks before
the Olaa coffee planters should have
been misrepresented by the Hilo Trib-
me. The Commissioner seems TO be
under the wrong impression, however,
that this paper claimed that he was
talking in favor of Asiatic labor. We
are not aware that the question OF ma
tionality was brought up. The remarks
of the Advertiser were from the first di-
rected at the central contract feature of
MIR. Marsden's remarks as reported by
the Tribune. In his interview with this
paper he states that he is in favor OF
free labor if free labor can be obtained.
This, then, we believe, should have been
his text in mapping out his remarks.
1t would have been preferable had he
urged the planters to work to bring
about a condition favorable to free la
Dor rather than rely on the contract
system. Since the question has been
agitated, a goodly number of the men
who have their spare capital invested
in the coffee industry have been APP
preached, and without exception they
have replied: I'VE want no contract
labor They want cheap labor, to be
sure, and there is no doubt that the
cheap labor will be forthcoming; but
as for contracts, the majority of the
planters do not care to hamper them
selves with them.

DR.. Peabody, member of the Com
mittee of Fifty formed to investigate
the liquor problem of the United States,
gives in a recent issue of the Forum an
interesting and valuable discussion on
the best way to meet this social evil.
He has come to the conclusion that the
temperance people must go into COM
petition with the saloons in supplying
places of resort which will have the
social air of the saloon without its de-
grading influence. He holds that the
saloon is degrading but it is a real
form of social enjoyment, and goes so
far as to quote one careful observer
who said if it were a question of a
saloon or no poor mans club he would
wish the saloon to stay. According to
Dr. Peabody 1.-The substitute for the
saloon, in order to survive, must give
more resources of sociability than the
saloon gives, and compete with it on it's
own terms. There must be no hint of
patronage or of missionary zeal. There
must be the same tone which prevails
in the rich mans Cuba sense of pro-
prietorship, a comfort which tempts to
patronage, resources of athletic life,
literature which is not discarded rub
buish of the benevolent, light and liber-
ty, and self-government; and for this
form of institution there are already
among the working classes obvious and
often pathetic signs of long suffering
expectation and DESIRE"

"Wilson aud revenue tariirw will be

party next autumn, il the wishes of some OF
those who are close to the president prevail.
President Cleveland is a warm admirer Of

one Of the favorites for the Presidential

and sugar.

WFYKEN, BLYYKEN, AND NOD.

No less an authority than Andrew Lang, says
an exchange, has pronounced Eugene Fields
poem, "Wynken, Blynken, and Nod" one of
the best, if not the very best, child poem in
the English language.
Wynken, Blynken and Nod, one night
Sailed off in a wooden shoe
Sailed on a river of misty light
Into n sea of dew.
"Where are YOU going, and what doyou wish?'
The old man asked the three.
I'VE have come to fish for the herring fish
That live in the beautiful sea;
Nests of silver and gold have We
Said Wynken,
Blynken,
And Nod.
The old man laughed and sang a song
As they rocked in the wooden shoe,
And the wind that sped them all night long
Rutiled the waves of dew.
The little stars were the herring fish
That lived in that beautiful sea.
Nov cast your nets wherever you wish,
But never afeared are We
So cried the stars to the fishermen three,
Wynken,
Blynken,
And Nod.
All ulSnt long liltlI Ntl5 licN tAiASh
For the fish in the twinkling foam.
Then down from the sky came the wooden
shoe,
Bringing the fishermen home.
Twas all so pretty a sail, it seemed
As if it could not be-
And some folks thought twas dream they'd
dreamed
OF sailing that beautiful sea-
But l shall name you the fishermen three
Wynken,
Blynken,
And Nod.
Wynken and Blynken are two little eyes
And Nod is a little head,
And the wooden shoe that sailed the skies
Is a wee ones trundle bed
So shut your eyes while mother sings
OF the wonderful sights that be,
And you shall see the beautiful things
As you rock on the misty sea
Where the old shoe rocked the fishermen
