In this latest volume of "Appleton' $

count OF long so1ourn on what is claimed
to be the veritable scene of Defoe's incom-
parable story OF Robinson Crusoe.
Our author would have US believe with
him that Crnsoes island was not Juan Fer
nandez, in the Pacific Ocean, but an island
Iii the Caribbean sea, not far from the
north coast of South America. 1t would be
hard to find more entertaining account

DECENTRALIZATION.

The tendency of government in
these Islands has been towards CEN
tralization. Now Capitalization pro-
duces excellent results no doubt. but
it is quite questionable whether it
produces good citizens. BY central
izing you get certain things better
done, no doubt, than you would OBJ
tain otherwise, but you take the re-
sponsibility from each individual, and
after all responsibility is what each
citizen ought to feel.
In any scheme of supplying the Is
lands with fresh machinery of gov
eminent the aim should be to decen-
tralization. Instead of each section
of the country depending upon one
pend upon itself in a large measure.
The essence of Republicanism is in
dependence, and you cannot have true
independence unless you take the re-
sponsibility of doing things for your
self.
Here il has been the custom for
each district to have everything man.
aged for it by the central government.
Is a school to be erected ii must be
considered in Honolulu. Is a broom
to be bought, application must be
made to Honolulu. Is court house
to be put up, Honolulu again. A po-
liceman appointed still Honolulu.
Now this ought all to cease. Each in
dividual district should manage its
own affairs, or at all events each is
land. Hilo knows what it needs, and
the money collected in the district
should be spent, in the district. The
school fund Of the district should be-
long to The district, SO of the road
tax and so on. If the district is
great in wealth it Should have
all the advantages of itshwealth; if
it is poor, it must bear the disadvant-
ages of its poverty. But the main
thing is that each place should attend
to its own business, should elect its
own officers and should realize its
own responsibility.
This it is that has made the Unit
ed States what it is today, and
which has given its people that indie.
pendence of character and that read
mess to deal with large questions
which every citizen seems to possess
as a birthright. Instead of waiting
to have things done for him, he does
them for himself, and from the very
outset of his career this is borne in
upon him.
This is what we need here, and
this is what we will get. That, like
the child which begins to, take its
first lettering steps, we may, in our

various districts, come to fall, is
true, but with each false step and
stumble we will become stronger. We
may not always elect the best men
to the various elective ofiicess but we
will, in the long run, elect satisfac-
tory ones. When we find that it is
our own efforts that will put good
men in good places, we will take the
trouble TO use our efforts. Now in the
various districts and Islands men care
very little to use individual effort, be-
cause all comes from a central au-
thority, but give us true republican
decentralization and individuality at
once comes to the fore.
Among the commissioners this idea
should never be lost sight of. The
Islands want emancipating from the
curse of Capitalization, and they will
never be truly American till they are.

SWEARING.

New York has decided that there is
a great deal too much profanity in its
streets and resolution is, or was,
under consideration, introduced by
Guggenheimer, president of the City
Council, to put stop to the practice.
The law runs as follows:
e Section 1. That under the provi-
sions of Section 40, subsection %, of
the charter the use of profane, vile,
or obscene language in any public
street or place within the limits of
the City of New York, or in any pub
lie transportation car, ferry boat, or
other public conveyance operated
within the limits of the said city,
shall constitute a misdemeanor, and
that the person using such profane,
vile or obscene language shall be liza
BILE within the cognizance and juris-
diction of the magistrates courts of
the City of New York to fine of not
more than ten ($1O) and not less than
two ($2) dollars.
"Sec. 2. This ordinance shall take
effect Immediately"
There is a law in England which
fines person five shillings for each
particular oath, but it does not pre-
vent the fish wives from using the
choicest billingsgate, nor the costers,
busmen and cabbes from rejoicing in
lurid and elaborate vocabularies. Be-
sides an oath is sometimes allowable.
We can all remember Sternes' pretty
idea, when the recording angel book
ed Uncle Toby for swearing, and then
blotted out the line with his tears.
The fact is legal enactments will
not stop people from doing anything
that is wrong, 1t is only when pub
lie opinion condemns that an evil hab-
it is checked and disappears.

The international congress which
will be held at Antwerp between the
18th and nth of September and which
will consider tariff legislation and
the regulation of labor, will be a very
important affair and may have con-
siderable influence upon the future of
the working man. Meetings of this
kind call forth discussions from such
varied points of view, and bring for
ward not only theories but facts of
immense value from which deductions
can be obtained that can be applied
to the ameloriation of conditions in
various places, which otherwise would
not come under the cognizance of la
Dor leaders and economist thinkers.

The scarlet uniform of the British
army is not so dangerous to its wear
ers as has been thought. Expert
ments were recently conducted by the
German army to determine what col
or of uniform is most advantageous in
war. Twenty sharpshooters who
were directed to fire at different col
ors in the distance found scarlet the
most difficult to hit. As the colors
were gradually removed to greater
distance, it was found that light gray
was the first to become indistinguish-
able, then scarlet, then dark gray, and
last of all, blue and green.

Declares for War.
Washington, March 30.-In the house Rep
resentative Marsh Qn), chairman of the
house committee on the militia, Tuesday
introduced the following joint resolution.
declaring war between the government of
Spain and its dependencies and the United
States and her territories:
THAT war be and the same is hereby de-
clared TO exist between the government OF
Spain and her dependencies and the United
States and her territories, and that the

order of the day, the consideration of pri-
vate bills. No opportunity was afforded
under the rules of debating the all-absorb-
ing topic, but members stood about the
cloakrooms and Hobbies all day long dis
cussing the situation. The most intense
feeling was manifested. The house, after
