chant while showing a Pittsburg friend
about New York on the occasion of the
latter's first visit to the metropolis,
took him to the top of one of the very
highest buildings in town and pointed
out to him the different objects of in
terest that could be seen. The western
man took in the beautiful view of the
bay and then looked northward over
miles and miles of roofs and chimneys,
over the vast expanse of street and
park, business buildings and dwellings
and then turned to his friend with the
remark that the most astonishing thing
TO him was that ii was so clear. Not a
blot of smoke marred the landscape.
Clear and brilliant in the sun of a brill
liant winter day, New York was clean
and neat and the greatest possible con-
trast to the dingy and grimy cities of
the West, where the use of coal is not
restricted to certain kinds.
The coal dealers Of New York are le-
gion and the business has grown to
immense proportions. The ease with
which coal can be shipped to New York
and unloaded in order to get ii TO the
market with the least possible handling
has contributed to a great extent to
the success which New York coal mer-
chants have attained.

AMERICANISM.

THE STAR as an occasional
ardent shouter for Americanism is
unable to enthuse over the Dirigo,
now in port and described as the
first steel ship built in the United
States. To use bicycle terms, she
was simply assembled" in the
United States. Bath, Me-, has no
steel works and did not call upon
Homestead, Pa, for the material in
the Dirigo, Every plate in the
latter was made in Scotland and
the chances are that sturdy lads
with meal bags came over and put
them together. The Dirigo makes
a good appearance and like any
full rugged craft cannot but be called
beauty. However, she doesn't
compare in lines with the Ken
ilworth, and her plates are not as
thick as those OF the Archer, a
well-know sugar packet. There
are not a few inconsistencies in
American manufacturing and in
dustrial institutions. For instance
scarcely a bottom in the United
States navy but carries Japanese
servants when there are American
voters by the thousands who would
be glad to get the billets. These
remarks will be forwarded tc
Washington by mail in the absence
of a cable, and will no doubt bt

Kansas city men who did not vote IN
1890 and the late election are to be
sued by the city to test peculiar law.
The charter provides that voters who do
not vote at the general city election
every two years shall be charged with o
poll tax of $3.50 each. The registration
books of the city show that there were
several thousand voters who did not ex-
ercise their right Of franchise last spring.
At $3.50 each these men owe the city a
large amount, and as that sum or any
part Of it would come very handy just
now the city counselor has taken the
first step toward collectingi it. The money
so collected goes into the sanitary fund,
but 1t benefits the city departments, as
money that would otherwise be taken
from the revenue fund for other purposes
Is appropriated for sanitary purposes.
Half of the best known business men
and manufacturers, professional men
and capitalists, those who have large
property interests, will find their names

THE more you give, the more
you'll have" is what Evangelist
Yatman said in one of his sermons
last winter. The ruling, or pro-
verb, or decision, or advice seemed
especially good to one man of this
city. The resident had pledged
$3.50 to the Y. M. c. A. building
fund. He called to settle a few
days ago and doubled the promised
donation. In the States such a
thing would have caused an cpl
demic of heart failure, but in Ha-
waii these happenings are of ordi-
nary occurrence.

has been that the means at

it impossible to place the arti.

POLICEMEN.

w. o. Smith is too steady and
too long accustomed to the worries
of official life to be much ruffled by
the House arraignment of the
Honolulu police. Representative
Robertson, formerly District Magis-
trate ard now practicing attorney,
made the attack. He said the peace
guardians often acted like ruffians.
Of course if this is practice there
must be reform and it is equally
pertinent to declare on behalf of the
public that individual officers unfit
for service should be disciplined and
dropped. But it is the statement
that the Attorney General always
takes the word of the police against
a citizen and that the head of the
Department condones the mis-
deeds of his men, that is
deemed worthy of discussion.
The observation of THE STAR has
been that this is not the case at all.
On the contrary many instances
may be cited in which it seemed that
the officer was without the back
ing" due from his superiors. Court
records will disclose mentions of
numerous hearings in which police
men have been made defendants
with all sorts Of characters as COM
plainants. This has perhaps been
a polite course on the part of Mr..
Smith. 1t does not obtain else
where. There is portion of the
citizenship here that does not ap-
preciate the position Of the police Of
fcer as part of the Government
system. The fault is that some of
the officers are not quite up to the
mark. However, the department
has been vastly improved over its
lormer status aud will be made still
better.

nswrssHTYLe. For many years
the manufacturers Of coal oil
stoves have been experiment
ing to produce a stove thai
would in its construction do
away with any possibility Of
explosion. Attfeld's Chemistry
in speaking of Explosion" and
Structure of Flame" says:
Hydrogen is prominent con.
stituent of all substances used
for producing artificial light
such as coal-gas. If a
fame be applied to the deliver,
pipe before all the air as expelled,
the probable result will be igni-
ion of the mixture of hydrogen
and oxygen (of the airy and a
consequent explosion. :. Air

vance of burner, to mix with

This is the principle of the

FLAME STOVE The reser.
voir is away from the fame
and the hydrogen and oxygen

through the pipe. The result
is the non-explosive "blue

end and not within the pipe,
partly because Of the metal Of

Quoting the heat away, cools the

coal oil reaches the wick in the
desired state.
This wonderful stove has a
powerful blue fame absolutely
odorless. Any utensil or flat
iron may be placed directly in
the flame without a particle Of
SCOT being deposited upon it.
By the use OF the simplest de-
wise it is impossible to turn the
wick too high, thus insuring a
perfect flame at all times when
in operation. The use Of coal
oil (kerosene) is so general that
every household is provided
with it, hence there is no an
noyance in the matter of pro-
curing fuel.

The annual report of the Free Kin
dergarten and Children's Aid Associ-
alton is a document that should be
read by every father and mother and
every man and woman who takes an
interest in the present welfare of Ha-
waits future citizens. No better proof
of the necessity for kindergarten work
can be offered than the steady increase
of pupils in every department. We
doubt if the most enthusiastic pioneer
Kindergarten dared predict the de-
velopment which the last two years
has witnessed in and about Queen
Emma hall. The success of the past is
indeed an incentive to press on until
the kindergarten shall become an act
i've reality in every plantation and dis
trict that has half dozen children to
be benefited thereby.
