Better Telephone.

There were few people who thought
that the night induction feature of the
telephone would disappear the evening
following Mr.. Cassidy's assumption of
the management. This was not gener-
ally expected, however. Almost i'm
mediate improvement was anticipated
and there are already evidences of it.
Better operators are at the boards and
better attention is given patrons. Some
repairs have been made during the past
few days and others are under way. 1t
seems certain that the metallic system,
Of a return wire for each instrument
will be decided upon. This means an
enormous expense and delay in divi-
dends, but it also means, as Mr.. Ather-
ton suggested such telephone system
as Honolulu must have.

TAHITI.

The Bulletin very properly corrects
the statement made several days ago
in this paper, regarding the annexa-
ton of Tahiti to France. The item was
taken by us from a reputable periodi-
cal. Tahiti was annexed to France on
June 20, 1880, while under the reign Of
King Pomare V. The protectorate
which had previously existed, was es-
tablished in 1912, by Admiral Du Petit
Thomas. He was the Admiral who visit
ed these Islands in 1897, and insisted on
the protection Of the Catholics He
made a treaty, in the name Of King
Louis Philippe of France, with the Ha-
waiian Government, which protected"
Frenchmen. 1t was obtained by threats
of severe measures.
The French now own in the Pacific,
New Caledonia, loyalty Islands, the
Marquesas, Clipperton Island, Tahiti
Morea and adjacent islands Tabuaiu,
Vivateo, Oparo, Tuamotu Archipelago
and Jambier Island. The total popula-
ton Of all these islands is 1892.

MONEY AGAINST GUNS.

The British find it cheaper to
fight the great European Powers,
with money, rather than with
fleets. Instead Of wasting several
hundred millions in war, she lends
China $8O,OOO,OOO. The Powers
cannot prevent it. Then, in return,
she obtains concessions from China,
for the opening up of a great rail
way system in Western China,
which will bring the trade of that
section to Burmah and India. This
in time, viii be worth a dozen
treaty ports. The Great Powers

THE SOUTHERN STATESMEN.

ScudLOI IodSt u -hdSoeiCLUoCIIo,
publishes his views in the Indepen-
dent On. Y. on the policy of an
nexation. He says: "Since 1867
we have acquired no new territory.
This arises from no failure of the
policy of expansion, which we had
so constantly followed up to that
time. On the contrary, whatever
mistakes we may have made in 9th
er directions our policy of territor-
ial expansion has been a complete
success. There Is not an inch of
territory annexed by the United
States since 1888, that we are not
glad to have; there is not foot of
it, we would give up; not a square
mile which has not added to our
wealth, our revenues and our safe
ty. The policy of annexation has
been as true in its course and as ad-
mirable in It's results as the great
popular instinct which dictated it"
This is excellent of course. While
the American Congress is settling
this policy, so far as Hawaii is con-
cerned, it is singularly interesting
question, why it is that the Demo
cratic party generally opposes it. 1t
cannot be on the ground that an
nexation generally is only 'Repub-
lean doctrine" because it has been
a national policy, in which all par
ties united.
The Congressional representa-
tives of the Southern States, near
" all of them Democrats, with the
exception of Senator Morgan and
several others, act largely on the
inherited ideas of Southern men.
These were found during the slav-
cry period. That period fostered
provincialism In its worst form. 1t
confined craftsmanship to the IN
terests of the South only. 1t OPP
posed protection" because the
South manufactured nothing, and
wanted to buy in the very cheapest
market. 1t saw no need for COM
mercial expansion, because cotton
had a steady and unsolicited mar
ket.
While the war broke up the con-
ditions which fostered provincial
ism, it requires more than gener-
alton to break up an old and fixed
habit of thought. The South has
no great commerce beyond its cot
ton trade. 1t manufacturers little
besides pig iron and some cotton
goods. The Southern statesman is
a most proficient local politician.
Able and active as he is, his mind
does not work on large commercial
questions, which involve foreign af-
fairs, because the minds of his con-
stitutents do not work on them. His,
and their thought is shaped by the
fact that cotton needs no protec-
ton, needs no bounty, and is the
one great stable and money getting
crop of the world, less liable to
fluctuations than any other.
The matter of Hawaiian annex
alton does not interest him. South
ern cotton will sell, even if these
Islands were owned by China.
We, of course, feel sadly, that
he does not take "broad views"
But our views were not very
t'board" until we got into scrape,
and were frightened. If he would
only get scared as we have been
scared, he would take more interest
in the matter Senator Morgan is
the singular noticeable exception.

The People Believe

Besides these excellent alternatives. it
also contains those great anti-bilious and

NOR are these all. Other very valuable
curative agents are harmoniously COM

Knowing these facts, is the abiding faith

The flames appear to have completely
enveloped his room. but they were
only sufficiently intense TO badly char

documents. Comparatively few of the
papers were absolutely destroyed. but
those which suffered this fate We're
among the most valuable In the room.
They Included the original opinions or
the court in the early days or the re-
public and among them were many
manuscripts prepared In the handwrtt-
ing Of the jurists Of the days or wash

were in the list many opinions In

priced as relics Of the early days OF
the court hey were also OCCASION
ally referred to to settle disputed
points concerning words or punctua-
ton marks These papers were stored
under the arch of the room and seem
to have been completely consumed. On
the other hand the official records of
the courts proceedings covering the
same period ppear to have been pre-
served and probably In good condition.
These were encased in tin boxes aud
these in turn placed within wooden
cases.
Many of the more modern docu-
ments, including letters and opinions
OF recent date, were also so badly
burned that ii will be impossible TO re-
store them. but none of these appea
TO have suffered such complete demol-
ition as befell the early opinions. No
documents affecting the present docket
OF the court were injured. The fire at
one time threatened to invade the sem
ate document ROOM, reaching TO within
four or five feet of ii.
A report was current during the
morning that the west central wall OF
the capitol was ack as a result OF
the explosion. Architect Woods made
a careful examination and located the
crack which had aroused suspicious.
1t proved, however, to be IN the outer.
or veneer wall, and not in the six-foot
foundation wal or the west side. This
main wall has stooi ovCr 100 years,
and is still in fairly good condition.
When additions were male n veneer
wall about ten inches thick was added
outside. The explosion last night blew
out a heavy stone door frame N the
outer wall, and this in turn loosened
several stones in the veneer wall. Mr..
Woods satisfied himself that the main
wall had not been disturbed.

The work of removing the rubbish
caused by the explosion proceeded rap
idly all day, seventy-five or one hun
dred men being employed for this pur-
pose. AS soon as the refuse is suffi-
GENTLY cleared out the work Of re-
pairing the damage will begin. Mr..
Woods thinks that the supreme court
room will be ready for occupancy
within W weeks. Here. as elsewhere,
the damage was less than was
thought and the opinion is expressed
that nothing more han repainting Of
the walls, putting in new doors. new
skylights n new upholstery will be
necessary to render the chamber fit for
service. Fire did very little damage to
this room, but the conclusion did some
and the smoke and water more. The
ceiling of this part of the building and
some of the partitions are of wood.
and there is no doubt that very seri-
Gus damage would have resulted If the
fire had once gotten a Roadway here.
AS it adjoins the dome there has been
some speculation as to what effect il
would have had upon that structure.
