In ordering the destruction OF two
hundred rear tenement houses, New
York city has set an example that
might well be followed in Honolulu,
Technically speaking, the town has no
tenement houses, but it has a section
that is as bad if not worse than some OF
the tenement blocks of New York. Chi
natown as it now stands is an ever pres
ent menace to the health of this COM
munity The occupants of the houses
do not object TO their surroundings be-
cause they are used to conditions even
worse; but that doesn't help the mat
ter any. Streets should be widened
and substantial structures substituted
for shanties. Under the present con-
ditions the most careful inspection is
inadequate to maintain proper santa
ton.

Ii HUNG CHANG.

Ii Hung Chang's prospective visit to
England and also to the Western hem
isphere recalls an incident of 1898, when
King George the Third sent an embassy
to Peking to obtain permission for an
English minister to reside at the "Ce-
lestial Court" and to take charge of
England's commercial interests in
China. The request was refused and
an order was issued in which the fol-
lowing language was used: so, then,
thou King, far away over many oceans,
thou hast inclined thine heart toward
civilization, and hast made a point of
dispatching ENJOYS to respectfully bear
a submissive address. Crossing the
seas, they have arrived at court, and
have offered their devout prayers for
our Imperial welfare, besides submit
ting articles of local production by way
of evincing thy heartfelt sincerity. We
have opened and perused the address,
the language of which is sufficiently
honest and earnest to bear witness, o
King, to the genuineness of thy re-
spectful submission, and is hereby right
we'll commended and approved" The
King was notified that his commerce
must be conducted on the same lines
as in former years, because the extern
sion of foreign trade was on the one
hand contrary to the policy of the
Celestial Court, and on the other,
would seem to be entirely without adj
vantage to thine own kingdom"
After a lapse of over one hundred
years we now see the chief counsellor
of the Celestial Court turning his at
tention toward the barbarian nations.
While to the Chinese mind the seat of
civilization and civilizing influences is
located within the Celestial Empire, the
Empire has received so many hard
knocks that it has in a measure been
forced to accept the barbarisms of mod
ern times. But Ii Hung Chang, al
though this is the second time he has
ever left his native country, has come
in contact with many Europeans and
Americans, and has been an active adj
vocate OF commercial improvements
that have been brought about in recent
years. He is withal shrewd man with
broader range of view than many of
his countrymen. What effect his West
ern tour will have upon the future con-
ditions of his civilization will be watch
ed with considerable interest. Unless
some force comes to arouse the Chinese
from their lethargy it seems certain
that the Empire must be divided among
the Powers.

RUM DID 1T.

In the story of Friday mornings
shooting ARRAY as told by the partici-
pants the fact that the whole trouble
was due to an over indulgence in liquor
stands out with terrible prominence
The men had differences at the drill
shed, but it was not until after they
had adjourned to the saloon and adj
died their brains with numerous friend
ly drinks that the danger of possible
murder entered into the affair. Rum
did it" is written all over the disgrace
full row from start to finish.
This gives not only an opportunity
for the temperance advocate to point a
moral, but also food for thought for
the officers of the military forces. If
these two men had not been armed
they would doubtless have settled their
differences in the usual manner of in
ebriates, gone home, slept off the eff
fects of the liquor and walked up the
next morning friends once more. There
seems to have been nothing in the
career of either of the men to show
that they were naturally bad or given
to using powder and bullet to settle
discussions. There is also nothing to
show that there was bad blood between
them.
Now, then, what assurance have our
military officers that other privates will
not go into the saloons after drill and
wind up the evening with even more
serious results than were realized Fri
day morning. Naturally the reply will
come that this will be lesson, that the
members of the volunteer corps are
not such fools as to allow liquor to set
them shooting crazy This argument
does for the general run of men, but
it is the exceptions to the rule which
must be guarded against. A man half
drunk doesn't know what he is doing,
and there is no telling how many inno-
cent lives he may put in jeopardy, to
say nothing of the one against whom he
may have temporary grievance. Rum,
rife and forty rounds of ammunition
is dangerous combination
In view of the recent happening, the
only thing for the officers of the Ma

instinct of trade would, the resolutions
declared, correct this wrong as to fu-
ture contracts by doubling the price
of commodities, and hence the free
coinage of silver at the ratio of 16 to 1
means a great imitation of prices with
out any increase of values. Just in
proportion to this imitation would the
purchasing power of a dollar be de-
creased, and in the same measure and
to the same degree would pensions, an
nuities, salaries, life insurance, saw
ing funds and all fixed incomes be i'm
paired in their power to provide main
tenance and support.

NEW YORK BANKERS FINANCE.

The position of the sound money
men of the United States is very well
stated in the resolutions passed at a
meeting of New York bankers held the
latter part of July. A review of these
resolutions is given by Bradstreet's
financial and commercial journal. The
bankers set forth that they had nc
selfish interest in the establishment OF
any particular standard of value or any
kind of currency. They were the GUS
todians of hundreds of millions of dol
lars of money belonging to the people
every dollar of which was equal to gold
dollar, and with the bills payable large
ly exceeding the bills receivable, the
bankers believed it to be the part OF
wisdom and the part of honor for the
United States to maintain the present
gold standard of value.
The resolutions went on to say that
the best definition of coin money had
been furnished by the ablest bimetal-
list of the age, Henri Cernuschi, who
said that it was by the ordeal of fire
that money may be tried, and that the
coins, which, being melted down, retain
the entire value for which they were
a legal tender before they were melted
down, were good money, while those
which did not retain it were not good
money. Gold coins were the only ones
that sustain that test.
Currency, which was the basis of all
business transactions, should be based
upon that standard that was least vari-
able and had the widest recognition
among the nations of the world, in
order that transactions, both national
and international, may be settled with
the least embarrassment from fiuctu-
ations in exchange. The 10000 ,000, 00G
of international trade balances were
annually settled in gold. The domestic
commerce of the United States, amount
ing annually to s35, 900, 900, was con-
tracted for and settled upon the gold
basis; SO per cent of tie commerce of
the world was upon the gold basis. In
view of this fact, the convention de-
clared that it would be criminal folly
to break away from the most advanced
and civilized nations to join China and
Mexico upon the silver basis. Gold
has been the standard of value in the
United States as matter of fact since
1884, and as a matter of law since 1873,
and in all countries where the gold
standard prevails both gold and silver
circulate as money. In all countries
where the silver standard prevails there

When Thomas E. Watson, the Popu-
list candidate for Vice President, was a
member of the United States House of
Representatives he created a scene
which called forth the expression from
Speaker Reed that he had never real
lied the full force of the Biblical refer
ence to the colt Of wild ass" until
he witnessed some of Watson's pranks.
Watson charged Representatives with
being drunk, and it was the furore over
this charge that resulted in the investi-
cation of the famous expression, "Mr.
Speaker, where am I at?'' During the
meeting of the committee the chairman
and Mr.. Watson held spirited CONVEX
sation which in former days would
doubtless have ended in duel Watson
seems to be a wild-eyed orator of the
true Populist stamp, and has enough of
the socialist about him to catch the
ready ear of an unthinking public.

sides of the water can occasionally stop
for breath and look a. the amusing
side OF the family troubles. The London
Telegraph in its Fourth of July leader
gives the following humorous twist in
paying Americans the compliments of
the season: THE English are not so
unreasonable as to expect that the time
honored custom of twisting the tail of
the British lion should at once and al
together be abandoned. We should be
glad to dispel the widespread fiction
that SO long as positive dislocation is
avoided the animal feels nothing. We
can assure Americans that the tail is
fully supplied with all the mechanism
of sensation, and even at this moment,
when its owner is waving friendly
Fourth of July salute to his former tor

certain soreness and stiffness at its

EARLY STATE ELECTIONS.

There are six State elections to be
held in the United States previous to
the general Presidential election in No
yember. An election of State officers
was held in Alabama on Aug. 8; Maine
will elect its State ticket, which in
cludes four Congressman, Sept. IA; the
people of Arkansas will go to the polls
TO elect State officers Sept. Z; Vermont
on Sept. l; Georgia on Oct. z, and Flor
ida on Oct. 6. In two of these States,
Alabama and Maine, the result of the
local ballot will be watched with no
little interest, owing TO Its being the
first test of political strength since the
general party smash up. In Alabama
the Legislature elected will choose q
successor to Senator Pugh. The strug-
gle will be principally between Demo
Gratis and Populists, the Republicans
having combined with the latter. The
money question will not show its hand
to any great extent, since both candi-
dates for Governor are strong silver
ties. Feeling between the parties, how
ever, has been worked up to high ten
sion, and the Populists declare that if
they are not fairly treated they will
bolt to Mckinley in the Presidential
election. The Importance of this cleo
ton from a National standpoint is the
possible hatred that may be engen-
dered between the two silver factions.
Maine will be looked to on account
of it's being the home of Candidate Sew
ALL The State will be strongly Repub-
lican, and it is only a question of the
size of the majorities gained by the
Congressman. The Republican candi-
date for Governor will doubtless be
| elected by a smaller majority than
usual, since he will be cut by the class
of people who, if they were in Hawaii
would be put down as missionaries. He
is a good politician, but his private
record is bad. During the past sixteen
years falling off of the Republican
majorities in Maine has been put down
as bad omen and forerunner of Re
publican defeat in the National election
In Vermont, Georgia, Arkansas and
Florida no unusual change from for
mer years is anticipated In Georgia
there is fight between the Populists
and Democrats, but there seems to be
no doubt of the success of the Demo
Gratis Vermont will go to the Republi-
cans and the other States ii the Demo
Gratis.

Since the American League is con-
templating making change in its con-
stitution so as to allow all nationalities
to enter its ranks, We would suggest
that the members of the League also
take into consideration the advisability
OF changing the name of the organiza,
ton. An American League made up Of
all naCionalities would indeed be pc,
culiar combination. When the League
departs from the foundation principle
of nationality it should no longer allow
the stars and stripes to wave above it
or the distinctive national name to be
attached to it.

1t is not unexpected to hear a zap
from the opposition because fishing in
the harbor has been stopped. 1t is
nevertheless gratifying to note that the
officials are early taking steps to ward
of the possibility of the introduction of
disease through the fish taken from
the harbor. The lesson of last year was
such that the Board of Health would
be liable TO harsh criticism if it failed
to place every possible safeguard about
the community during the next two or
three months. We have no absolute
guarantee that the harbor will not be-
come contaminated as it was once be
fore, and it is certainly in the interests
of public health to provide the ounce OF
prevention at an early day.

To the Press Bureau inaugurated by
Inspector General Townsend this pa
per is indebted for the full reports OF
the doings of the summer school. The
chief of this bureau is Osmer Abbott,
who knows how to select the features
of principal importance to teachers. We
gladly give space to the proceedings
of this school for teachers, and trust
that the review of the leading features
of the course will impress the pilots of
the young Hawaiian idea with the i'm
portance of attending this institution
for advanced scholars. The attendance
at the school has been very satisfactory
this year. The number should increase
next year.

The Ohio Association of College
Presidents has set upon plan to regu-
late foot ball playing and keep the
game within wholesome limits. No
member of the college is allowed to
take part in any games until he can
obtain special recommendations for
scholarship. 1t is further stipulated
that the use of profanity cor any OBJ
scenity by any member of a team shall
be strictly forbidden by the managers
and captains of such teams. Where any
member of a team fails in the work
the preceding term, or has charged
against him any conditions, such stu
dent shall not be allowed to play in any
intercollegiate game until his con-
ditions have been made good" If this
course is carried out strictly, it will not
only purify foot ball, but general ath-
letics as well, and have a good effect
upon the student body generally. With
good scholarship and purity of language
as a basis to work upon, the athletic
teams of Ohio will be made up of a
class of men of whom any college or
State may well be proud.
