While it Is not the policy of
this paper to throw cold water on
any scheme that will give this city
first-class public building, we can
not believe that the time has come
when the public will stand the
pressure consequent to the con
struction Of the talked-of new
arlnorv. No doubt there is money
enough In the town to put up a
first-class drill hall, but unless the
scheme is different from all others,
the larger share of the funds will
not come from the people best able
to give. We doubt also whether
the new enthusiasm the military
might experience would be OF long
standing. The best treatment for
the present apathy in military CIR

The presence of Labor Commits
sioner Fitzgerald in the country,
calls to mind that Hawaii once had
a labor commission. The Leg-is-
lature provided for the continual
ton of that commission. But
nothing has ever been heard from
it. Can it be that the people of
this country are so completely
asleep, that they do not care to
have an exchange of ideas on the

ON BICYCLES.

The arrival of the last Australia
was greeted with a sigh of relief from
the whole community. The unusually
long interval between mails had made
people quite anxious, and rumors of
war and other political disturbances
were flying as thick as leaves in Val
lambrosa. The encouraging news of
the probable passage of the Ding
ley bill, imposing a duty on all
foreign sugars while preserving for
Hawaii nei the advantages of the Reel
procity Treaty, gladdened the hearts
of all, planters as we'll as merchants,
who predict a new era of prosperity
and progress for these beautiful Isles
of the Pacific. News was also brought
of the knocking out of Champion Jim
Corbett by his sturdy opponent, Fitz-
simmons.

FINE AND IMPRISONMENT.

Commandments VIII be punished
by fine and imprisonment. The
wise Legislators see that a com
mamdment with penalty which
operates only in the hereafter and
not in this life, is largely failure.
A thirty days imprisonment here
will do more good these men say,
than the prospect or promise OF
million of years on the gridirons
hereafter.
In view of the possible intro
duction Of such legislation here,
bv combination of the mission
airy and anti-missionary parties,
each working for its own ends, 1t
would bee well for the sober mind
ed people 10 be very conservative
in the matter and refuse to be led
by extremists.
Take for instance the command
ment which forbids ''covetous-
ness" the desire to acquire ones
neighbors wife, or ass or anything
belonging to him. 1t is sweeping.
A. every man Is sinful by nature,
so every man is already guilty of
covetousness. No trial is needed.
Sentenced to fine and imprison
ment only remains, After our
over worked judges had sentenced
every man to period on the
reef" it would be necessary at
once to enlarge the jail limits.
This could only be done by tax
inc the entire group into the Oahu
prison. The spectacle of the en-
tire male population in stripes"
the Judges in stripes, the President
riding through the streets in
stripes, the pastors of the churches
in stripes, would soon make these
islands the favorite spot for the
study of penology, in all of its
branches.
\ modified experiment might
be safely tried, by selecting a
hundred of our most respectable
citizens by lot, and applying this
legislation to them. As we know
in advance that they are all guilty
of breaking some one of the com
mandments, for ''nOne doeth
good" it would be a new form to
sentence them to the reef"
There they could be made to
stand as object lessons for our
growing children.
The form of enforcing the Ten
Commandments may be changed
To the new method of govern
ment by Injunction" that is, of
forbidding a person to be covet-
Gus. This method would require
an enormous increase in the num-
Der of Judges. If one citizen saw
another citizen looking over his
fence ar his fruit and flowers, he
would at once secure an Injunction
forbidding him to indulg in any
covetousness. This method would
tend, however, to destroy domestic
life and break up the favOrite
amusement of dinner parties. For
If woman saw her husband at a
dinner party, smiling upon anoth-
er woman. she might suspect the
sin of covetousnesS. and iuconsid-
erately telephone to one of the
Judges for an instantaneous and
permanent injunction, and Mar
shall Brown would have his hands
full serving processes every even
ing. On the whole it might be
better to Try the experiment in
our own large and valuable colon
ial domain, Birds Island, whenever
Captain King DEVELOPS our world
wide colonial policy. At present,
let us settle the japanese question
and the labor question. We are
all quite ready to accept the en-
forcement Of the Ten Command
ments in theory, but must protest
against its practice 1t Is really
