A number Of manufacturers OF Biz.
mingham, England, do profitable bust
ness in turning out gods for various
races, as well as crowns for the kings.
The gods, as rule, are cheap affairs,
while the crowns are valued at from
s. TO $500. At present there is a slight
falling OF in the market for crowns, as
silk hats are coming into style as mark
OF sovereignty among the savage kings
When Christian countries allow the
manufacture of heather gods and silk
hat crowns, there is unquestionably a
fruitful field Of labor for the home mis-
siona-y.

A QUESTION OF IRON BUILDINGS

A petition will soon be placed before
the Legislature calling for a revision of
the law relating to the character OF
buildings within the fire limits. The
present law requires that buildings
shall be constructed of either brick.
stone or iron. 1t was no doubt the in
tention that the law should not only
result in a better protection of the bust
neesss portion of the city, but also do
away with the shanty-like structures
that now grace many of the leading
streets. OF late, however, there has
been an epidemic of ''lean-tos", built
of corrugated iron, which in their con-
struction come within the letter of the
law. These buildings are mere iron
shells, dropped in here and there on
the principal street fronts, in a man
ner which, to say the least, does not add
to the architectural beauty of the bust
ness portion of our city. We know of
no reason why these buildings should
not be put up in the rear of business
blocks, or anywhere out of sight from
the street. The way they are springing
up at present, however, not only mars
the general appearance of the street,
but often times tends to injure adjoin-
ing property holders. 1t will be a wise
move to keep the number of corrugated
iron buildings within a minimized
minimum.

A London magazine remarks that il
is rather startling TO learn that Rev.
John Watson, the Presbyterian minis
ter who has won fame as the creator
of ''Drumtochty," is not a Scotchman at
all. He was born in Manningtree, Es-
sex. so that he is not even a North
countryman. But he was educated in
Perth, Stirling and Edinburgh. and his
first parish was Logielmond, village
between Perth and Creiff, which is the
original of -Drumtochty." He only
stayed three years in the parish. 1t is
twenty years since he quilted it for a
Southern charge, and it was only the
other day that on the appeal of Dr.
Robertson-Nicoll he resurrected his
"reminiscences in the story which has
such a worldwide celebrity.

The consideration of the Honolulu
sewerage problem cannot be brought tC
the attention of the Legislature any toe
soon. The problem OF taxation, liquor
traffic. and even the roads and bridges
may well be elassed as secondary TO the
problem of properly guarding the pub
ic health. There is hardly citizen in
the country who does not feel that dis
cussion should give way TO action. I'm
der present conditions the dangers are
on the increase, tand from a purely
financial standpoint we cannot afford

down to business. decide what the sys-
TEN shall be, and then go ahead with

Within the last few weeks some OF
the representatives of the press who are
numbered as residents of the country
have apparently been inspired with an
ambition TO see to what extreme they
can air private affairs of the communi-
~ without being taken seriously to task.
Whatever the statutes may be, there is
a common law among the people of this
community that the privacy of the
home shall remain inviolate from the

in public life are subject to criticism.

there is point where self-respecting
manhood demands that a halt shall be
called. A word to the wise is sufficient

Since making fine points of law in the
matter Of selling foreign newspapers
appears TO be the order of the day, il
will be well for the members of the Sal
walton Army to take care that they are
properly protected. Under the revision
OF the law, by the act that has just
passed the Legislature, any person sell
ing the War Cry in the manner it has
been sold upon the streets is liable to
arrest and fine. We know of no one
who would be inclined to decrease the
revenue derived by the Army from the
sale Of their papers, but at the same
time the law makes no provision to ex-
empr-them from paying a license.

says:
The fact is that at the conclusion of

in possession of steamers for which il
had not sufficient employment at home,
and of a large sum OF money, represent

employ in extending its operations.
rather than in enriching its sharehold-
ers. The idea that because the Japan
csc have increased their fleet by a few
thousand tons they are about to rival
the great shipowning countries of the
West is too absurd to need combination.
In competition with Japan we have
nothing whatever to fear"
A very significant addendum to these
remarks, so full of assurance, is the
suggestion that it becomes US to be on
our guard" The vital question now be-
fore the United States. and not of the
least Importance to this country, is
just what form this guardianship shall
assume. 1t cannot come in the form of
class legislation, as Japan at the pres
ent time has been allowed the rights
of the most favored nation After a full
has been made, however,
it will be interesting to note whether
the people of the United States will |
consider the situation sufficiently seri-
Gus to abrogate treaty relations. Such
a conclusion seems hardly probable,
but it is within the possibilities.

COMPETITION OF THE ORIENT.

The increasing agitation on the the
question of Oriental competition, par
ticularly in Australia and the United
States, is beginning to attract atten-
ton in Japan, and the papers of that
country are searching for material to
prove that the cheap labor of that coun-
try is not to be feared.
About the only American exponent of
the Oriental cause is the New York
Maritime Register, which is of the opin-
ion that the American people are easily
alarmed, and. although Japan may be
ambitious, it is impossible to break the
power now held by the leading COM
mercial nations. 1t is asserted that the
Western nations will not consent to be
deprived Of their gains in the easy man.

For the first time in the history of
the country the Legislature is to be
treated to a public demonstration
against the encroaehments of the Ash
atics. If present plans are carried out,
the working force of the Portuguese
colony is to appear en- masse before the
members of the Legislature on Wednes-
day. AS to the cause for grievance, we
can speak more positively when the ex-
act character of the petitions is made
known. If it is TO be a general demand
for the expulsion of the Asiatics, we
would suggest that the best way to
attain the object of their desires is for
the Portuguese to spend some time in
thinking out a rational solution of the
problem they call upon the Legislature
TO attack. II is matter that cannot
be finished up and put aside with a
turn of the hand. Sober, earnest
thought, with a careful balancing of
the varied interests of the country, is
what is needed to set the wheels turn
ing in the right direction. Petitions pre-
sented in person will have their effect,
but that does not settle the matter.
