THE PACIFIC
WRETCHED BUSINESS.

The sensational story published on
Friday by our Fort street contempt
rary regarding an attempt TO explode
the City of Peking's magazine, and re
peat the Maine disaster was neither
journalism, nor even yellow journal
ism, but a deliberate attempt to create
a sensation; to excite the people who
are under quite enough excitement al
ready.
The Boys in Blue on the Peking
have from time to time circulated
rumors on the vessel calculated to
frighten their tender-feet comrades.
Among these rumors. was one that
electric cells supplied the ships lights
in place of dynamos. Another was
that the increasing heat of the sun
in the tropics made it necessary to
pour water on the gunpowder.
Our contemporary selected the yarn
that was the least probable, and with
out attempting even to verify it, gave
it currency at the most inopportune
moment
Ordinarily in the course of Whahg-
doodle journalism, publication of
stories of this nature would be expect
ed When the same journal recently
described the discovery of a counter
felt note, and the theft of some fruits
by a small boy as Carnival of
Crime" it did the usual credit to
Whangdoodleism.
But there is something dastardly,
cowardly, in circulating a rumOr
which will soon enter hundreds of
homes in America, and cause needless
pain, and anxiety.
The mothers, and wives, and sisters
of these young soldiers have enough
to bear as it is. The circulation Of a
cruel, wicked rumor, that thousand
of these boys may be blown to atoms
in mid ocean, by a treacherous explo-
sion, carries to these loving and sensi-
tive hearts a distress that can hardly
be removed. When an absolutely base
less rumor is strengthened by the
further statement that 1.-The strictest
secrecy concerning the matter is being
maintained" it thrusts poison into the
wounds the rumor has made.
Hundreds, even thousands of
mothers, wives and sisters will shout
with delight at the glad welcome to
the Boys in Blue, on these shores.
Is there any reason, why this glad
ness should be suddenly checked,
when they also read that demons are
secretly at work. at the magazines of
the vessels, and that the brave boys
have much more to meet than open
warfare, and may never reach Ma
Mia?
It was a mean effort to destroy the
gladness of this community, and
the sunshine of it's glorious welcome,
by suggesting the probability of ter
rible crime at their very doors.
The Pacific commercial advertiser. [volume] (Honolulu, Hawaiian Islands) 1885-1921, 1898-06-06

are equally strong reasons why the
corporations especially should freely
assume the chief burden of these ex-
penses.
Business generosity cannot be well
defined. But as a rule it is settled by
the matter of profits.
But the matter should be well con-
sidered at once. and some course of
action settled upon, before the next
army Of friendly invaders arrives in
port.

ENTERTAINING THE TROOPS.

If large number of American troops
are yet to visit this port, en- route to
Manila, their entertainment must be
thoroughly organized affair. The
entertainment of Thursday and Fri
day last were very successful, but the
matter was novel, and naturally there
was much to be learned. The strength
of the ladies was overtaxed but of
this not one of them complains. But
for two days there We're some valuable
objects taught.
Whether the entertainment should
be made a national affair, or be left
entirely to individual efforts, and the
expense be borne by individual sub
scriptions,, is now serious question.
The entire Nation has received vast
benefits from the United States, and in
this there is ample reason for placing
the expense of entertainment upon the
Government, so that it will be equally
borne by all. At the same time, the
expenses of the Government are
heavy and it needs all the money it
can raise for public purposes.
On the other hand the largest pro
fits here are received by the corpora
lions. and these profits come directly
from American bounty. The size Of
the average dividends show that these
corporations, together with a few in
dfviduals equally benefited by the
bounty can easily afford to meet this
expense.
They have been liberal in contri-
buttons during the last few days, but
can they not, for reasons which need
not now be stated. assume greater
responsibilities in defraying these eX-
penses? The community is not rich
one, though generously hospitable.
The greater portion of the community
receives moderate incomes, which it
can i'll afford to spend in generous
hospitality. The demands upon it are
always large.
There are strong reasons in favor
of an immediate appropriation by the
LEGISLATURE. At the same time there
