The suggestion that certain officers.
notably deputy collectors of internal reve-
nue. and customs, should be removed
from the classified service where they
were placed by President Cleveland near
the close of his administration, which is
claimed to be blow at civil service re-
form. came from Secretary of the Treas
ury Gage who has always been devoted
adherent of the reform and whose ap-
pointment to the treasury was hailed as
a blow to the spoilsmen. There is, there
fore, good reason to infer that the change
suggested is not actuated by any desire
or intention to abridge or weaken the re-
form, but is dictated by worthy consider
ations. There is such thing as pushing
the reform too far for the good of the
public service. Certain subordinate off
GERS hold such relations to their superiors
that the latter ought to have full power
in selecting them. Whether deputy col
lectors of internal revenue and customs
belong to this class we cannot say. Sec
Rotary Gage apparently thinks that they
do, and his opinion is entitled to great
respect.

The New York Herald thinks it would
be sensible act for the United States to
take the initiative in proposing con-
gress for the consideration of the question
looking to the placing of submarine cables
under the protection of international law
Attention has been called to this subject
by naval officer who points out that
whenever an important war breaks out,
especially one in which two or more mari
time nations are involved, there is going
to be trouble over some of the telegraph
cables that have q landing place on the
shore of one of the belligerents. There
Is no international law to prevent such
action by belligerent. If, for instance,
Great Britain and the Dutch Republic in
South Africa should be at war and the
Germans should decide to help the Beers,
it is almost certain that one of Germany s
first efforts would be directed towards a
permanent disabling of the cable that
skirts the west coast of Africa and ex-
tends to Cape Town. 1t would be done as
a strategic measure to cut off Great
Britain's communications with her troops
and ships, and it might be regarded
just as legitimate to destroy an enemy's
property beneath the high seas as above
them.

CURRENT COMMENT.
WHY IT'S NOT A HUMBUG
(Boston Record.)

the part of Democrats to assume that the
tariff on agricultural productions is a
humbug and does not affect importations
at all, it is nevertheless a fact that
100, S68 bushels of wheat were imported in
April of the present year, against 6,431
in April of last year, and that the guam
tity of barley imported in April, 1897, is
double that of 1886. Another striking
illustration in regard to farm products is
found in the fact that while the class of
cattle which now is and is likely to re-
main upon the free list, has not increased
at all in importation, the number of du-
table cattle imported in April, 1897. was
nearly five times as great as in April,
1896 being in numbers 62,S49, against
Ia, All in April of last year.

New York's antitrust law, the pro-
visions of which were enacted by the leg
islature after the Lexow investigation,
has been declared unconstitutional by JUS
tice Chester, of the Supreme court of that
state. In his decision Justice Chester
touches upon only two points of cons IT,
nationality. He declares that the power
granted to the Supreme Court justices is
in excess of the judicial functions granted
by the constitution. The Legislature
he holds, has no power to impose upon
a Supreme Court justice functions of a
non-judicial character as they have in
these laws. The Court of Appeals will,
of course, finally pass on the question.

ing pronunciation of him in their report.
But threre is no suggestion of Furnishing
MIR. Rhodes. On the contrary the only
punishment that would be felt by him at
all-the withdrawal of the charter of his
company-is directly declared against
by the committee. The chartered COM
pany is to remain as before with Rhodes
at the head of it. OF course Rhodes cares
nothing for the denunciation of the COM
1n1ttee which is probably to be taken in a
P1ckwickian sense. 1t will not restrain
him in the slightest degree from another
raid when plausible excuse can be
found for one, and is probably not in
tended to. Rhodes's performances in
South Africa are paralleled by those of
all the other chartered British companies
that have ever existed. The favorite way
OF extending the British empire has been
through the aggressions of chartered COM
panies. 1t was through such a company
that India became dependency Of the
British crown. Rhodes's sin consisted in
his failure. That is really what he is
reprimanded for.

ACQUIRING KNOWLEDGE
(Boston Transcript.

The fact that Mr.. Bryan wears silk
night shirts is now, thanks to the enter
prise of the press, known from one end of
this great country to the other. We should
not comment upon Mr.. Bryan's taste ex-
cept for the fact that it clearly demon
strates that he is learning that the wear
ing Of luxurious garments by those who
can pay for them helps the toiling masses.
A silk undershirt involves in its manu-
facture the activity of many skilled hands
at good prices. Last fall Mr.. Bryan did
not know this. He is acquiring knowledge
and he has an almost boundless margin
for acquisition still

Something About Fourth OF July
Celebration and Other Things.

Celebration and Other Things.
In letter from Kau yesterday
morning an account of the Fourth of
July celebration in that district was
received. Following is the report:
1.-The Fourth of July was duly cele-
brated at Pahala on July Sd. The day
was opened at sunrise with salute of
21 guns, fired by the Citizens Guard.
Soon after Is a. NJ the antiques and
horribles paraded the principal thor
oughfares avoiding cane fields), head
ed by the Pahala String Band. After
that followed a shooting contest by the
members of the Citizens Guard. Jo-
seph Limo, Jr, was the successful COM
petitor. Notwithstanding the strong
wind, the shooting was good.
after the shooting match, l.. Chong
entertained the members by giving a
grand dinner.
I'm the afternoon the games began
with an exciting wheelbarrow race,
then came the three-legged, banana,
foot, donkey races and climbing the
creased pole contests, as we'll as other
events. The tug-of-war brought the
sports to a close.
I'm the evening came a very effec-
tive display of fireworks, pronounced
a success by everybody.
"a general invitation being given by
Mr.. and Mrs. Walton, a large company
sat down to supper, and the hospitality
of the host and hostess was greatly
appreciated.
'"The day closed with rousing cheers
for the red, white and blue and a vote
of thanks to Geo. w. Patty for his in
defatigable eXertions in promoting the
days entertainment.
"The atmosphere is still with vapors
from the Volcano.
''The Mikahala arrived at Honuapo
July 9th and left on the 18th with a

DESERVING SAILORS.

SOIllethil

Something AbOut the Men Who
Leave Their Ships.
People along the water front have
been watching the ship Roanoke with
some interest, on account of the rumor
spread around since a recent occur
renee aboard that ship, that one of the
seamen would probably desert, and
yesterday they had a chance to say:
Il told you so,' for on the night pre-
vious the very man they expected
would desert did So
Desertions from vessels with New
York as their destination are, of
course, more frequent than from yes
sells running to the Coast, but there
have been certain of the former that
have furnished more than others. No
table instances were the May Flint
and Aryan. On the former vessel, il
was necessary, during the latter days
of her stay in this port, to have sta
toned aboard a number of police Off
GERS to keep the men aboard, and even
then some of them succeeded in get
ting away The Aryan was also a yes
sci very much troubled with assertions.
The men tried all sorts of schemes to
get out of going around the Horn to
New York
Harry Evans said yesterday that he
found more trouble with the American
than the English ships. Of the three
latter that have sailed from this port
during the present year, not one bit of
trouble has been met with The men
seemed perfectly contented to remain
with their vessels

Small Blaze.

There was small blaze in one of
the rooms above zee Wo's butcher
shop on King street at about 4:3O p. m.
yesterday. Some of the joss sticks,
used by the Chinese to burn before
their gods, set fire to a bed curtain.
The blaze set the Cinnamon about the
place into panic, but a few of the
cooler heads did good work with
buckets, and also busted themselves
with throwing out combustible mater
ial from the neighborhood of the burn
the curtain. 1t was not very long be-
fore the fire was put out. The depart
ment was not called. The noise of
the screeching Cinnamon collected a
crowd of from 800 to 400 people.

DETECTIVES FRANKS.
EnOka Gets Three Months on the
Reef for Accepting Brides.

Reef for Accepting Brides.
J. Enoka, until yesterday one of Da-
vid Kaapa's detectives, has begun
three months sentence in Oahu Jail
for receiving brides from a certain che
ia combination.
Marshal Brown had received infor
nation that Enoka was doing some
crooked business and had him watched.
It was found that he had been in the
habit of visiting a Chinese house on
Maunakea street, opposite the place
where the recent fire occurred. Sus-
pecting what the cause of the visits
was, Marshal Brown detailed Clerk
Charles Chillingworth to go to the
place and find out everything.
Chillingworth got into the building,
posted himself on the third floor, just
above a very convenient peep-hole,
which opened into the room where
Enoka was supposed to appear.
Chung Mel Hing and another China
man soon came in and 10 silver dollars
passed from the hands of the former
into those of the latter. The instruc-
lions were to give the money TO Enoka,
and to tell him to come again on the
following Saturday for the same
amount.
A little later, Enoka appeared on the
scene. The money was counted out on
the floor and eagerly gathering it up in
a handkerchief he put the amount in
to his pocket.
Chillingworth reported to headquar-
tiers and on Tuesday Enoka was ar
rested. He was given a chance to con-
fess the whole thing, but he would
not. Upon trial yesterday morning he
plead guilty and was sentenced as stat
ed above.
1t seems that Enoka was being paid
$40 each week to keep the branches of
the great Chu 1 Che Fla Society in
formed as to the movements of the
police in regard to them. He was to
have gone again on Saturday night,
but he will probably not do that now.

people living in the same house with
