A HOME FOR lNCURABLES.

The very generous proposition OF
Mr.. T. H. Davies to erect under GER
tain conditions Home for Incurables,
as a memorial of the Diamond Jubilee,
is a serious matter Mr.. Davies clearly
suggests some objections, The trouble
will be that incurables will come here,
who could not be entitled to enter the
Home. What would be done with
such? That question, in different
form, is before US now. Rev. Mr.. Mack
intosh knows much about it. We all
recognize the great need of such a
Home. But the other question con-
fronts us, and must be met. Our ISL
ands are in danger of becoming
great hospital, just as the Southern
part of California is becoming so, to
the alarm of the inhabitants.
OF course, we would not, if we could,
prevent any of Gods creatures from
obtaining relief from physical suffering
here. We would take certain risks of
disease before doing so. But now is
the time to think out and adopt some
broad, just and practical plan for meet
ing the stress that is now, and soon
will increase upon US, by reason of
our climate Just so long as human
beings are recklessly brought into the
world, without the slightest idea of
responsibility for their inherited de-
fects, physical anu mental, just so
long will the charity of every COM
munity be taxed to care for some of
them. The rapid increase of population
in America, yearly increases the num-
Der of those who, without fault, can
not take care of themselves. They will
naturally seek this genial climate. But
the community, as an organization,
should handle the matter intelligently. |
It's charities are taxed heavily now
The cities of Southern California are
becoming concerned about the increase
of helpless invalids, who settle and |
take their chances of obtaining work |
This comparatively small community |
must arrange some method of dealing |
with such cases, so as to protect ITSELF
and at the same time do it's work of |
charity.

SENATOR WAREHOUSE REMARKS

The remarks yesterday of Senator
Waterhouse, on the opium debate were
rather startling, when he said substan-
TALLY: Il am very sorry that the At
torney-General has come in at this late
hour, after the discussion of the bill
has been had, and to make suggestions.
The Senate is perfectly capable of
carrying on business without the as
sistance of the Attorney-Ge General. The
great fault of the Ministry has been its
lack of policy, its lack of head We
are not here to carry out the wishes
of the Ministers, but the wishes of the
people"
We have too much respect for the
honesty, and patriotism of the Senator
to regard with other than sincere re-
gret the attitude he has taken. He
must be aware that, under the Con-
stitution, Article 81, the Attorney-Gen
eral has just as much right as the
Senator himself to debate any ques-
ton. The remarks of the Senator, if
they meant anything, were a denial of
the Attorney Generals right under the
Constitution to assist in the debates.
This is a very serious matter. There
is not a person on these Islands, who
hates the Republic that will not
chuckle over this slap at the Consti-
tuition.
1t reads like debate in the Senate
of a Spanish Republic, when the Con-
situations are kicked at like dogs that
have no master. The Attorney Gen
eral has the same right to declare that
he doesn't want any lip" from the
Senator. That means a bear garden
We shall not readily believe that the
Senator meant what he said He is
assuredly one of the last to strike at
the spirit and letter of the Constitu-
ton, or even to make a bear garden Of
the Senate chamber.
The Hawaiian gazette., 1898-03-01
A COMPARISON.

The report of the Minister of Fin
ance, like the other Ministerial re-
ports, contains items, and figures,
which are suggestive. The valuation
of the real and personal property of
the Islands is placed at 1904, S31.0O
for the year 1897. The paid up capt.
tai of corporations amounts to S27,754,-
900. The population of the Islands is
10000.
The population of Vermont was, by
the last census, 1O1, 697 The assessed
valuation of property, real and person
al in the State was sS6,SO6,755. The
total indebtedness was s3,7S9,373.
The population of Oregon, by the
last census was Ill ,744 which closely
approximates to the population of the
Islands. The assessed valuation of all
property was $50, 500, OS4 The total in
debtedness, including County and Mum
icipal indebtedness, was 81, 479, $50.
In the comparison of population, as
sessed values and indebtedness, ac-
count must be taken of the fact that
the people of the two American States
are nearly all white, and of Anglo
Saxon origin, and the wealth is more
evenly distributed than it is here. Nc
valuable comparison can be made, un.
til the Asiatic population, to the ex-

THE DEBATE ON OPIUM.

The debate in the Senate, yester-
day, on the opium question, was a mere
repetition of the standing argument,
for and against the license plan.
AS the practice stands today under
the present law, it is really a claw
for the encouragement of fraud, brib-
cry and corruption" the extent of
which is not generally known.
We have some reason to know that
the smugglers, and opium dealers, and
some of the police would sincerely re-
greet the license system, for they are
all enthusiastic in support of the pres
ent prohibitory law. License the sale
of it, and it would prevent them from
getting very comfortable incomes.
There is rich Doodle in it, in spite of
the earnest, honest and constant vigil
ance of the Police and the Customs
officers.
Besides, with annexation, opium will
be at once admitted, as no State or
Territory can forbid it's importation
under the Federal laws. The Supreme
Court of the United States has so de-
cided, in the liquor cases. Most of the
Senators seem to be quite ignorant of
this fact. The position of the Senators
who stand on prohibition, appears to
assume that there will be no annexa-
ton. What dreadful Mugwumps!

Mrs. Gums dancing class did some
exquisite work on Saturday evening.
The execution of the Spanish dance,
he dainty and faultless skip of the sail
or lad, the stately movement of the
Colonial minuet, was credit to the
children, as we'll as to their careful
teacher. Only such an exhibition could
crowd, as it did, Independence hall. It
was the childrens' hour. Banked be-
hind the little dancers were the eager
parents and those who love the chill
dren, all watching the pure little brows
yet unwritten with real care, yet find
ing life as full now of poetry as the
gentle measures to which they grace
fully moved. The old grey heads look
ed on, with the illusions of life behind
them. Did not the grace of the Lilli-
putian minuet, for an instant, give
them "a breath from the immortal
morn of YOUTH" They, looking back
on the dust and heat and blare of the
highway that begins at birth and ends
at the final Wayside Inn, say with
Longfellow:
Il nearer to the Wayside Inn,
When toll shall cease and rest begin.
Am weary thinking of your way"

1t seemed hardly necessary for Rep
resentative Paris, to ask the Cabinet
whether or not it had consulted the
Supreme Court regarding Minister
Coopers eligibility to serve as Acting
President, during Mr. Dole's absence.
The, President must have resided in
the Islands fifteen years, but his office
is not vacated by his temporary dis
ability or absence. Mr.. Cooper simply
acts" as President He is not Presi-
dent. President and Acting President
both exist at the same instant
Therefore the Acting President may
have lived in the Islands for a short
period, and be qualified, so long as the
President is living, and only absent.
1t does not require an opinion of the
Supreme Court, in such a simple mat

THE POWER OF THE PRESS

Among the reasons for the small
influence of the Press in these days,
is its general tendency to exaggerate,
and mis-state. Here is an example,
taken from one OF the most widely
circulated religious papers in America,
the Rams Horn. 1t says: That
church (the Roman Catholic) is doing
more than all others combined to sub
vert American Institutions, but was
worldly wise when it placed its high
est institution of learning and the
headquarters of its ecclesiastical auth
ority on this continent at Washing
ton"
While such talk takes with an igno-
rant person, an intelligent person sees
that it is exaggerated drivei, and loses
his confidence in the Press, even the
religious Press, that publishes such
stuff. The last two judges, appointed

S. S. China in a Storm.

In one of the Japanese papers from
Yokohama is contained the news of
the arrival of the China three days
late. On the trip from San Francisco
she had encountered a very severe
storm and, aside from being delayed,
suffered some damage to her rigging
and one of her boats. On this account
it may be that the China will be little
late. This however is not probable
as the big steamer has already de-
monstrated her ability to make up
time.

Japanese patriot" who comments
on the toast to "the universal brother
hood of man" drunk by the members
of the Cocoanut Club, does not under
stand that the members of that insight
ficant and obtrusiye society use the
words only in "Pickwickian' sense,
that is, in sense that makes every
one feel good, just as it advocates the
practice of the Golden rule, in the
same Pickwickian sense. The toast, if
elaborated, would run 'the universal
brotherhood of man one thousand years
after date" In that way, generous
emotions may squirt like an uncorked
soda bottle, and friction is avoided
Evidently japanese patriot" doesn't
size up our civilization. If he has time,
let him study up what are called poll
teal platforms which fervently say
one thing, and as fervently believe
and do another thing.
Besides, the extension of the uni
versal brotherhood of man" below the
latitude of rs deg. is too radical a
move. The great races of the temper
ate zone are conservative, and are not
fully persuaded that the races of the
tropics are fitted for the universal
brotherhood. Principles are controlled
by climate. The New Testament was
published to mankind above the line
of the 18th parallel of latitude. Is that
not significant?
The members of the Cocoanut Club
drink fluid that readily ferments,
and then they have some queer talk
about universal brotherhood"

IN the bench of the Supreme Court Of
tho limited States by Protestant Presi-
dents were Roman Catholics. A mar
BILE statute to Jesuit priest has been
erected in the capitol building, near
that of Lincoln.
Washington in 1902, left $4,000 for
the foundation of a National University.
Had the amount been properly invest
ed the fund would now rise above
s.. OOO. 900. But Professionals, controlling
Senate and House, neglected the mat
ter for over 80 years, and will hardly
touch the ground for the National Uni
versity before the year 1900. Those
clever Roman Catholics = excellent
business men-secured valuable
tract of land near Washington city, and
their university rises in magnificent
proportions. Professionalism, having
shown the meanest business capacity,
and spent nearly a century squatting
on its launches in Washington, now is
scared, and shouts to the people: 1.-The
Roman Catholics are subverting Ameri
can institutions" In the meantime,
Plus XIII, has broken the windows
which for some centuries have been
tightly closed, and have barred out
light and air from the theological
plants of his church, and has let in the
fresh, strong breeze, and the sunlight
of intelligent democracy.
The conservative forces in the church
tell him that he is simply sending that
great Institution to pot, and things are
in a dreadful way. But he holds to his
course. Then come associations, and
papers like the Rams Horn, that have
lost confidence in the Almighty's power
to rule the world, and tell us, substant-
tally, that He is quite too friVo-
lous in His doings, and that the Roman
Catholics are really betting the best of
Him, and something must be done
about it at once
Now the average American no longer
believes such stuff. If he did, he
would not permit children of the
Scarlet woman" to be put in high
office, as Justice McKenna, Roman
Catholic has been put
