STANDING IN THEIR OWN WAY

We are not surprised that the Hilo
Tribune takes exception to our sug-
gestion that there is a difference of
opinion on the Island of Hawaii as to
the relative importance Of roads and
bridges. But we must suggest that our
contemporary shows a wonderful lack
of judgment in its campaign for public
improvements. The great trouble. with
the aggregation represented by the Hilo
Tribune is that they claim everything
in sight and then look about for some
thing more. AS proof of this we quote
the following from their editorial utter
ances: I'VE have not arrived at the
stage yet when it has become necessary
to choose between the different kinds
of public improvements; as to whether
it shall be road for Kona or Kohala,
or a landing for Puma, or a wharf for
Hilo. We want roads, wharves and
bridges, in fact everything that as
large and growing community we have
a right to expect, and we shall use all
the weapons to that end that as

THE VOLCANO ERUPTION.

The report that the crater of Makua-
weoweo has broken out again is ex-
tremely interesting. 1t is now little
over nine years since the last eruption
took place. On that occasion, after a
short display from the summit and a
series of earthquake shocks which
shook up Kau and the Konas in a
very lively manner, the lava found an
outlet about sixteen or seventeen miles
above Kahuku, and in three days reach
ed the sea. While it lasted it was a
very brilliant sight, but it was only
those who promptly reached the spot
that had an opportunity of seeing its
grandeur The Hall made a special
trip and carried number of passen-
gers, but they arrived just too late for
the fair. The flow was as black as it
is today, though fire could be seen
through the cracks, and the sea where
the boats landed was boiling hot.
The eruption of 1880, when for many
days the fire fountains played .on the
summit, ended in a flow which was
many weeks in progress, and came to
an end within a mile of Hilo court
house. Had it continued it would have
gone clean through the town of Hilo
and destroyed many of its buildings.
Should flow break out on the Kau or
Kona side, its progress will most prob
ably be very rapid, as the slope Of the
country is quite sharp. Should it break
out on the Hilo side, its course, at first
rapid, will become slower and slower as
it comes through the woods, where the
slope is somewhat gentle

of interest at home more money will

The fact is that our debt should be
bonded and the leave to do it should be
given by the Legislature. We should
not face another two years under pres
ent conditions We should certainly
aim to reduce our interest and get more
money. With profitable improvements

Guilty about paying interest upon the
loan. The difference between the Dor
rowing now and the borrowing under
the monarchy is that all the money now
borrowed is put into useful and repro
ductive works, while in former times
the loan funds were used up for current
expenses and all sorts of fuss and
feathers.
The latest information that we have
is that the Legislature means to
do something in the matter and not
fold its hands peacefully and put off
till the morrow what can be done to-
day. The policy of ''laissez faire" is a
very easy, yet very dangerous one.
Now is usually the wisest to deal
with, then is very uncertain guam
tity. To let things slide and let other
fellows meet the difficulties is pleasant.
We are pleased to learn that such is
not the intention of our legislators.

A NOTED JOURNALIST.

Col. John A. Cockerill, who died in
Cairo, where he was stationed as a
special correspondent for the New
York Herald, was one of tae best known
as well as one of the most popular
newspaper men in the United States.
In many respects his career has been
marked by the discourasing features OF
the newspaper profession, which cause
more than one man to pause before en-
tering upon the road of the rough"
A man of marked ability as a writer,
true to his principles and true to his
employer, he found himself, after thirty
years of hard, grinding labor, still sub
ject to the dictation of an employee,
and with little or nothing financially
to show for what he had done.
Colonel Cockerill did his first news
paper work in Ohio, and after notable
career in that State, assumed the man
dSCuSnI VI q 4NCW IOlh udily. AuOut
four years ago he was placed in charge
of the New York Commercial Adver-
tiser. He raised that paper from a
financial and editorial weakling to a
position among the leading journals of
the city, and just as he was on the eve
of reaping the reward of his labors he
was forced out by ambitious individuals
who sought to force the up-to-date
methods of impersonal journalism upon
him. Cockerill refused to submit and
took the consequences.
Among newspaper men he was a
good fellow" but like so many who
are following in his footsteps, his good
good-fellowship and the high mental
tension which his position in the news
paper world demanded sent him to an
early grave.
Col. Cockerill was an able man, but
had not the business ability to make
money and keep it. He was rich in
friends, however, and his name will be
kindly remembered when Reid, Ben
nett and nominal editors of similar
character are buried in the quickly for
gotten past.

united Island we can legitimately."
When I'VE" of the Hilo Tribune have
arrived at the stage when they can
look beyond the border of their own
personal interests, they will find the at
tentive ear of the whole country turned
toward them. When they can drop
down peg or two and realize that by
doing one thing at time, and doing
that well, Hawaii will get her much
needed improvements, then and only
then will their arguments be of some
value. If they can decide among them
selves that roads should first be taken
under consideration, and make sensi-
BILE fight for roads, they will find that
roads will soon be forthcoming. After
the roads are completed then let them
consolidate their forces upon the wharf
question.
But they must first remember that it
is absolutely impossible to open the
national vaults for. the use of Hawaii
alone. They must remember that they
are simply blocking their own progress
by wildly shouting that they want the
whole loaf or none.
No one doubts the necessity of i'm
provements on Hawaii. Nor does any
citizen of average business sense doubt
that to incur the increased bonded in
debtedness which would be necessary
to fulfill the claims of the Hilo con-
tingent would be suicidal to the ma
tional finance. This country cannot af-
ford to indulge in progressive policy
that will land it in the sloughs of bank
ruptcy. New Zealand, with it's mag
nificent debt, is good example Of a
condition that would exist here if we
followed the ideas of our Hilo friends.
If Hawaii boomers can get down from
their high horse and cease laying claim
to everything" they will be far more
liable to get something. Stop this
Haunting of beautiful generalities, talk
sense, and the people will come to Ha-
waits aid as one man.

AMERICAN POLITICAL POT.

The political pot in the United States
continues to bubble with increased
vigor as the returns from the national
delegate conventions come in. Within
the Republican fold Mckinley continues
to strengthen his hold, which from the
start has been most disparaging to his
opponents. The last mail brings news
of the Kentucky Republican State con-
vention, which went solid for Governor
Bradley, with Mckinley for its second
choice. This doubtless means that Gov
ernor Bradley places his hopes in the
possibilities of dark horse" and is
prepared to take the second place on
the ticket should Mckinley finally win.
Since the break made in the solid South
at the last election, Republican Vice
President from one of the Southern
States will doubtless be favorably re-
ceived. In Indiana, Chairman Gowdy
of the State committee has come out
fiat-footed for Mckinley, which means
that the man from Ohio will secure a
good portion if not all of the Indiana
delegation. Massachusetts, can be de-
pended upon to stand by Reed.
One of the new and important feat
ures of the fight is the declaration of
the A. P. A. against Mckinley. 1t is
claimed that while Governor of Ohio
he Disseminated in favor of Catholics
when making appointments. The A. P.
A. circular, however, emanates from
Massachusetts, State solid for Reed,
and is very likely political dodge of
the Reed faction. For the A. P. A. to
desert Mckinley and support Reed,
whose political manager, Joe Manley,
is given over body and soul to the
Catholics, is like deserving the pot to
embrace the kettle.
Among the Democrats the aspirants
for Presidential honors are few and far
between. The man can get the NOM
ination who is brave enough to face an
assured defeat. Secretary Carlisle says
he would like the complimentary sup
port of the Kentucky delegation, but he
does not care to head the Presidential
ticket. President Cleveland has again
denied that he seeks third term
Pattison of Pennsylvania has signified
his willingness to head forlorn hope
if no one else can be found.
The interest of the whole country
seems to center in the fight for the Re-
publican nomination, as it is accepted
as foregone conclusion that the man
selected by the st. Louis convention |
will be the next President of the United
States.
