AS the controversy on A. P. Aism
has apparently exhausted Itself the
San Francisco Examiner has opened it's
columns to Fathd- Yorke who is at
tempting to belittle the work of the
missionary fathers and mothers in this
country. J. NJ. Alexander has risen to
show the fallacy of the statements. The
attack upon the religious work of any
denomination will probably continue
so long as there are men to write and
printers ink available to place their
opinions on paper. This war of words
may continue forevfr, but no pen how
ever thick with virulent abuse it may
be tipped, can ever tear down the mo-
nument to Christian civilization which
the missionary fathers and mothers
have reared in Hawaii nei. Best OF all
those who have followed after them
are continuing the good work.

The Minister of the Interior promises
that as soon as the work on Nuuanu
stream is completed the dredger will be
employed in cleaning the harbor for the
new wharves near the Pacific Mail
dock. This is encouraging and means
that the harbor improvements will go
forward with sufficient rapidity to give
the increasing number of ocean steam
ers ample accommodation. The Ian
guage OF Japan's special agent to Mex
leo indicates that the new steamship
line between those countries will soon
be an accomplished fact. 1t is also only a
question of the time it takes to get new
steamers, when the Seattle line will be
raised above the level of freight boat
line. Upon the ability to quickly dock
and clear these steamers will to
great extent depend the popularity of
Honolulu as a port of call.

The efforts of the Board of Health TO
promote vaccination among the adult
population ought not to meet with any
opposition. At the present time school
children are required to be vaccinated,
but the parents who in case of an cpl
demic of smallpox would be exposed
TO infection, can go on forever without
taking the precautionary measure of
vaccination. This situation is probably
due to the fact that adults are suppos-
ed TO know enough to look after them
selves. But it is too often the case that
forethought comes afterward and it is
not until disease has gained Roadway
that people wake up. In japanese
ports, the people are so well protected
by vaccination that it is hardly deemed
necessary to quarantine passengers
from vessels infected with smallpox
We cannot recommend such lax meth
DDS for this country, yet our people
ought to be impressed with the fact,
that according as a general use is made
of the protection which vaccination
gives, the danger to the community is
diminished. Protection of the COM
munity is also protection to commerce,
both interisland and international.

Our Hilo friends seem somewhat ex-
cited over the regulation requiring the
Hilo saloon to be closed at 9 o'clock in
the evening. If they will examine the
statutes they will discover that they
are simply coming under the regula-
ton that governs all retail liquor deal
ers in the outside districts In 1895 by
an error of a clerk the Hilo dispenser
of liquors was given a license similar
30 that given in Honolulu. The mis-
take was not discovered by the Minister
until the license had been delivered
and he allowed the matter to pass with
out notice. When this years license
was made out, however, there was no
mistake, consequently the Hilo saloon
comes under the regulation laid down
in 1882. Since HiIo has had taste of
II o'clock closing, possible it's represen-
tatives will seek to change the law at
the next Legislature, but until then the
pathway for the Minister of the Int
rior to follow is clearly mapped out.

The suggestion Of musical and

thing remaining is for the preparations
TO assume definite form. This work
will soon be taken up by some of the

it is anticipated that their requestsmade
to those whom they hope will take part
in the program will meet with ready
response.

HE BETTER COME HOME.

Again the Hilo Tribune gives pub
Iicity to more of Commissioner Mars
den's opinions on the contract labor
system. The Commissioners most
pointed remark is as follows: AT the
same time there should be no antago-
nism in interest between the sugar and
coffee planters, as both must depend on
contract labor for their support" And
this from a Government official! God
forbid that in this day and generation
the people of this country should be
educated to the idea that upon contract
labor the principal industries must de-
pend for their support. The necessity
of contract labor is a fallacy of ancient
days, system that the intelligent, act
i've men of Hawaii have been slowly
but surely growing away from, sys-
TEN which il is constantly being proved
can be done away with if the sugar
planters and coffee planters will bend
their energies in that direction.
The Hilo Tribune gives the Commits
sioner hearty support, which can be
accounted for in two ways In the first
place, the Tribune since its inception
has been covertIy opposing annexation,
and secondly, because its policy has
constantly been laid on narrow lines
which mark the boundaries of the well
fare of a select few in Hilo.
So far as the coffee planters are con-
cerned, Mr.. Marsden by his own re-
marks shows that he is wrong in the
premises. He starts in with the state
ment that several thousand contract
Iaborers will be required, and then ad-
mits that the planters, for the greater
portion of the year, will be at their
wits end to find something for these
contract laborers to do. He maintains
that two thousand men, women and
children cannot be gathered together
by the coffee planters during the pick
ing season. Has he forgotten that Ho-
noIuiu alone could supply that number,
that special rates could be obtained
from the steamship companies for their
transportation, that there are more
than two thousand men, women and
children, particularly among the Por-
tuguese, to whom the coffee picking
season viii be a God send? Has the
hop season in the United States no les ,
son for these satellites of contract la
Dor? Is it impossible for them to see
that the colee picking season can be
made a preventive against such labor
demonstration as was made by the

A POWERFUL
BLUE FLAME

Was formerly associated
with magic, but it was al
ways accompanied by guam
titles of smoke and a dis
agreeable odor. Nowadays
we cook our dinner bymeanS
of the wonderful "NeW Pro-
cess" Blue Flame Oil Stove
which operates without the
slightest smoke or odor, the
fuel being common coal oil
(kerOSene) by which the
work is done better and more
perfectly than any gas or ga
Sollne stove. it is the most
economical operating stove in
the world and one that ad-
mits of drawing light and
fuel from the same barrel.
Any utensil or flat iron may
be placed directly in the
flame without a particle of
SCOT being deposited upon it.
1t IS impossible to turn the
wick too high, thus insuring
a perfect flame at all times.
The most positive proof of
the success of this stove is
the result obtained in baking
the measurement of the oven
being 10 IL inches in width,
II inches deep and Il IA
inches high. No. los conven-
