Proven Entirely Satisfactory-
The First Trial Was the
Fault of Inexperience.

The German war balloon. which in No
vember on a trial at Berlin slipped its belt
ing and was precipitated to the wall, has
been rebuilt and a second and successful
trial of the machine made. 1t is now a
certainty that the balloon will be used in
actual field operations. The fatality at
tenting the original balloon was thought
to be its death knell, in spite of the fact
that the circumstances under which the
accident occurred were eXtenuating and
were due to good and sufficient causes.

Hi.tory of thc OriginnI Trip.

The history of the original trip under the

probably have been quite different If thein
ventor and constructor of the balloon had
been in the car: but, unfortunately, Herr
Schwarz, of Agram. died before the test
had been made. The press has made alto
gether too much of the unfortunate but
entirely unnecessary wrecking of the ship,
without setting forth the causes thereof;

in the manner already described. The fact
that the officers of the aerial navigation
department, Frau Schwarz and her friends
have courage to Immediately begin the con-
struction of a new ship. for which military
protection has already been procured. shows
that the principle on which the construc-
ton of the apparatus is based is considered
correct and practical.

A Valuable Pamphlet.

DR.. Samuel Karr has issued very
valuable handbook in which he, in q
brief and concise manner describes
"the most prevalent diseases among
horses in the Hawaiian Islands"
The doctor, who is a graduate of
the Royal Danish Veterinary Col
lege of Copenhagen has studied his
subject very thoroughly, and all
owners of horses will find it to their
advantage to secure copy of the
pamphlet which describes the
symptoms of the diseases, explains
the causes and presoribes the
remedies.
The author has avoided all I'M
necessary professional terms, aud all
laymen can understand the language
used. In districts where no veteri-
naries are available and even in Ho-
nolulu where people hesitate to con-
suit vet. for slight indisposition
of horse, the book will be appre-
ciated as filing long felt want
The pamphlet is neatly gotten up
by the Makaaiuana Printing House.

The Special Prayer.

AT ST. Andrews Cathedral yester-
day the following prayer "for those
at sea and war" was used:
20 Almighty God, the Sovereign
Commander of all the world, in
Whose Hand is power and might
which none is able to withstand; we
make our humble supplications unto
Thee in this time Of war that the
ferceness of man may turn to Thy
praise, to the advancement of Thy
Gospel, the deliverance of the OPP
pressed, the putting down of tyrAn-
ny, and the good of all mankind.
Sail with them that sail, comfort the
sick and wounded, support the
dying, provide for the widows,
shield the orphans; and in Thine
Own time restore peace to Thy
world, that Thy Church may joyful
ly serve Thee in all Cody quietness,
through Jesus Christ our Lord,
Who with Thee and the Holy Ghost
liveth and reigneth, One God, world
without end. Amen"

In the middle OF last year, one Of

a quality that looked nice and wore

Need of q Hawaiian Cable,
From the Chicago Tfmes-Herald

FROM tne CnlcaS0 I1meS-Herald.
The annexation of Hawaii will undoubt-
edly revive the plan for a cable to Amer
ica's new possession in the Pacific. In fact.
1t makes quick means Of communication
with Honolulu necessity.
At present, under favorable conditions,
1t requires ten days to communicate with
the Islands via San Francisco, and in this
respect the Hawaiian group is further re-
moved from America than the Philippines
1t is needless to say that the Hawaiian
cable would have been built ere this by
private enterprise If it could have been
demonstrated that it would be a paying
investment, but the figures all seem to be
on the other side.
The government will be the best patron
OF this line for some years to come and
the amount OF private business will depend
entirely upon the growth of our commercial
relations with the islands.
For this reason many people, and par
ticularly those on the Pacific coast, favor a
government subsidy, and liberal one, to
the corporation which shall undertake the
work.
In the Fifty-ifth Congress a bill was in
troduced for the laying of a cable to Ha-
wall but no definite action was had upon
1t. 1t will be a subject for the next Con-
gress to deal with. and it is one that should
not be neglected or delayed.
The growing interest of the United
States In the Pacific make it necessary to
have quick communication with Hawaii.

The democrats of Wisconsin and New
Hampshire in state convention yesterday
sought to give partisan twist to the in
dictment brought against the War Depart
ment III connection with the Santiago CAIN
pagn. This is to be regretted. 1t is cal
culated to hinder rather than advance the
very object which everybody ought to hope
to see accomplished An investigation of
the conduct of the Santiago campaign
seems reasonably certain. 1t ought to take
place in the interests of an Improvement in
War Department methods. Whatever may
be necessary to bring the effectiveness of
that department up to date ought to be
provided and applied. 1t is but fair to as
sumo that the officials of that department
are anxious for this themselves. But the
introduction of politics into the investiga-
tien would almost be certain to defeat that
end
The New Hampshire democrats demand
a thorough. impartial investigation of that
department by democratic Congress, and
the summary punishment of the men who
have prostituted patriotism to partisanship
and greed"
Why by a democratic Congress- The
investigation ought not to be so long de-
layed, but should take place while the
facts are fresh and details are easily OBJ
tainable. Congress at it's coming session
ought to take up the matter, and probably
it will. Can there be any reasonable OBJ
lection because the present House is re-
publican? 1t is a body of competent men,
presided over by man in whom the coun-
try has confidence. Besides, the next
House may be republican also. In that
event the New Hampshire democrats will
not have their wish.
The demand that the blunders made in
the conduct of the war with Spain be in
Yestigated by democratic Congress is in
itself a prostitution of patriotism to parti-
sanship. The question is really not parti-
san in any aspect. The war was not a
partisan war-was not fought on partisan
lines nor by partisan agencies. The APP
pointments to army places from civil life
came from both parties. The recommended
tatives had influence at the White House
as well as those of their republican breth-
rem. The honors on that score are easy
The responsibilities are even.
Let us have an investigation. but not a
partisan investigation. The political COM
plexion of a national House of Representa-
dyes is not nearly SO important as the
correcting of evils in the administration of
the War Department growing, it is claimed
not so much out of apparent incompetency
or wrongdoin2 as out of inadequate laws
and antiquated methods of doing business
necessarily applied hastily by agents OF
varying capacity to the accomplishment of
one of the most colossal tasks ever i'm
posed upon an unprepared nation.

The transformations work of the women
OF Washington in relieving the sufferings
OF the sick soldiers who are continually
passing through the capital on their way
north is worthy of unstinted praise. There
Is much of this work to be done The
trains bound for the northern camps and
hospitals are steadily arriving and depart
ing. and their passengers are in all stages
of debility. The fatigue of travelling is ac-
centuated by the weakness incidental to
the fevers and other diseases from which
they have suffered, and 1t is a blessing
that they can be comforted by kindly
words and Strengthened by wholesome food
on their way. This Good Samaratanism
has in II no element of personal concern in
the recipients, for the soldiers coming
through here are from all other sections of
the country but this. and are therefore as
individuals strangers to those who extend
. helping hand to them. But they are all
American soldiers. they have suffered at
their country's call. and they are as broth
ers and sons to these gentle women, de-
spite the remoteness of their homes
Washington is well sustaining its reDuta-
tion for whole-hearted hospitality.
