NAME THE STREETS.

In 1892 the then Legislature passed
an Act Defining Highways and De-
filming and Establishing Certain Rights
and Duties in connection Herewith, -
or in other words, it was known as the
Highways Act, 1892" 1t was a good
bill, but like many a DILL certain pro-
visions in it have never been carried
out. Section p of the bill deals with
street names. 1t says, Upon the cor
ners of all streets in Honolulu, HilO
Wailuku and Lahaina the street names
shall be placed in conspicuous positions
at least three and half feet above the
street grade Note that the section is
mandatory 1t does not say the street
names may" but the street names
shall"
If one goes around Honolulu chasing
for street corners with the names OF
the streets upon them we fear it would
be weary search. There are names on
the streets beyond Punchbowl, that is,
on few of them. The usual direction
up the valley, however, is, go straight
up till you see the first shower, turn
sharp to the right, and you will get
into the Pauoa Valley road. Go on un-
til you strike the second shower, turn
| to the left and that is Judd street.
Honolulu, for a place of it's size, is the
most puzzling place in the world for
strangers, simply because the houses
are not numbered and the streets not
named. AS we have no municipal
government, such regulations devolve
upon the Minister of Interior. Why
does he not carry out what is clearly
laid down in the law, and make some
regulation about mum bering.
By the way, the law says there is a
! fine of not more than one hundred dol
lars for violating it's provisions. Ought
not the Minister of the Interior to fine
himself some part of that sum for no
having carried out the Act?

THE PACIFIC
An evening contemporary, in an APP

An evening contemporary, in an APP
parentIy serious manner, asks why
home talent was not employed in pro-
ducing the portrait of the late Judge
McCully. presented to the Supreme
Court. It also states that the portrait
was paid for out of public funds. The
fact Of the matter is that the portrait
was ordered and paid for by Judge Nc
Cully's widow, and no department of
the Government had anything to do
with the production of the portrait or
the payment of the artist. 1t is I'M
fortunate indeed that such uncalled-for
criticism should have been passed upon
a gift from lady whose interest in the
welfare of this country has never
waned. The only redeeming feature is
the irresponsible source from which the
remarks emanated.

HOMES rEADS.

The land business in Hilo, on June
1st and I'd, shows how well the land
law works The favorite system I'M
der which the applications are made
is the right of purchase" system.
The strict condition on these leases is
that the applicants must go and live on
the land This will give us bona fide"
settlers, and not land-grabbers, who
Will hold the land waste until there
comes a rise in prices. These lots will
all be put into cultivation and houses
will be built upon them. The favorite
lots are those makai of the POnahawai
lots and a correspondent writes If
there were a few thousand acres more
near town to lay out, they would all
be taken up
1t was some time before the citizens
of Hilo dropped to the fact that they
had better secure lands for themselves,
but they have realized the wisdom of
doing so now, and under one scheme or
another most of them own lands, or at
least homesteads.
The nine hundred and ninety-nine
year system is an excellent one for Ha-
waiians, as it absolutely prevents them
alternating their home steads, since
such homesteads cannot by law be
mortgaged. nor can they be taken by
legal process for debt.
The leases in HiIo are held on

Heavy Rain Fall.

COLUMBUS, o., July 24.-Probably
tae heaviest rain fall ever experienced
here fell last might've and ninety-six
hundredths inches. The streets be-
came rivers, flowing ankle deep from
curb to curb, and street cars ran over
tracks that were several inches under
water. Cellars were filled with water
and sewers choked by the unusual de-
mands made upon them.
Grove City, six miles south on the
Baltimore and Ohio Southwestern, is
largely under water this morning. A
small stream that runs through the vii
lage and is not large enough to be dig
nified with name, is half-mile wide
this morning and the first floors of
many of the houses are under water,
boats being used to rescue many of the
occupants.
COLUMBUS, Ohio, July PA special
from Springfield, Ohio, says that the
Mad river is swollen beyond its banks
by the rains of last night, inundating
the houses in the lower part Of the city,
Many families are being removed in
boats this morning by the city authori-
ties. The tracks of the Columbus,
Sandusky and Hooking road east of the
city are badly washed out. In the
southern part of the county cornfelds
are under water, unharvested oats are
laid flat and ruined, and wheat shocks
afoat. Much of the wheat is sprouting
in the shock, and what of the small
Ohio crop is not threshed or in barns is
practically worthless.

far out into lake Ontario during q gale
Wednesday night, were rescued off

CUT RATES.

A committee from the executive
board OF the Southern States Freight As.
ISOLATION had conference at Atlanta
yesterday with vice president St. John
of the Seaboard Air Line in reference
TO the cut rates which that line has put
ia force from Baltimore to the South.
They asked Mr.. st. John to withdraw
his cut rates, which threaten general de.
moralization and vast loss of revenue to
all lines in the South. In his reply
Mr.. St. John recites VIVA. he declares
to be the efforts of the Southern Rail
way to crush the Seaboard, with the
view to detoaung competition. He
cor -, by asking: "Shall it be the
withdrawal of the Southern's new line
of steamers between Baltimore and
Norfolk and the making of satisfactory
through car arrangements, easy to be
accomplished, and the saving of the
revenue thereby to the Southern and
other lines, or shall it be the disrupting
of all rates through thousands of miles
of territory, and the consequent loss to
it of millions of revenue, with more
speedy necessity for the reorganization
of its (the Southern) system? The prob
lem is theirs to solve; not ours. We do
not fear either the problem or the
Southern. Our cause is just, and soon
er or later the right will prevail"
After Mr.. st. Johns reply was read,
the executive board appointed COM
mittee to formulate policy and report.
The committee recommended sweep
ing cut of so per cent. on all classes of
freight from eastern points to Atlanta,
except on grain, wheat, flour, meal and
hay.
This will reduce the rate on first class
freight, such as boots and shoes, from
S1.14 per hundred to % cents. All
lines are to charge full local beyond At
lanta. intermediate points, such as
Macon, Augusta and Columbia are to
have a combination rate based on At
lanta.
The Seaboard, or the merchants Of
such cities will promptly ask the courts
to interfere and prohibit greater
charge for short haul than for long
haul. All rates throughout the South
are bound to come down very soon and
rates from the Ohio river gateways must
be dropped, too.
The war will cost all the railroads
and steamship lines of the South heav-
lily. Mr.. st. John would not say what
the Seaboard will do, but it is under
stood that it will meet this cut and per-
haps go little better.

likely that Mr.. Bryan will spend much

want him to take the lions share Of the

that he can make several long speeches

wish to be spared during the campaisn

be record breaker. From present in

return to his home, speaking at places
along the line.
