edged to each of two hospitals,
free to all who cannot afford to
pay for their benefits, and that is
a regular instalment Of the local
news from week to week in the
press of the particular city. 1t is
much larger than Honolulu, but
similar matter appears in the
papers of towns ranging from five
to ten thousand in population.
The Queens hospital has received
support from the treasury, direct.
ly and indirectly, for great many
years, yet the people who furnish
the money-with the exception Of
native Hawaiians - receive no
benefits in return without paying
therefor whatever the hospital au
thorities may dictate. Recently
the screws have been put on, max
ing the treatment of certain cases
more expensive than ever, on
the ground that some pa
tients who were able to
pay medical association fees had
been availing themselves of in
digent rates. Ina public hospital
no questions are asked in that re
gard, those who pay doing 30
under Inducements of special
nature. Any impositions of
misery persons of means are
covered by the generosity of peo-
pie, majority of whom happily
never have occasion to avail them
selves of a hospital.

well what to do with. There are
few roads in the country, aud few

more ea'ly and thorough attention
than this road, the route to Nuu-
anu Pail and across the island.
1t is one of the principal art ries
of travel and commercial traffic on
this Island. Incidentally, it is a
favorite tourist road, leading to
the wondrously charming Pail
scenery. Passengers on ocean

mended by spoken and printed

Latest ndvices prove that the
two four thousand ton steamers

people from an Atlantic concern
are destined for the Klondike
business. There is as yet no sign
that the railway corporation will
intervene on the Australian route.
Tue Montreal Witness thinks this
steamship route is OF more impor
lance to Canada than the proposed
cable, saving: "The cable is only
an aux liary, so far as com merce
goes. of the steamship service, and
therefore of secondary Importance.
Ii is to be hoped there will be a
reorganization of the Australian
service" These remarks are 10
the line of comment upon the in
formation that the Imperial Gov
eminent has Informed heCanadian
Government that its Pacific
s'esmship line is behind the time.
The Wituess takes it for granted
that the japanese line, as well MS
the Australian line, is included in
Mr.. Chsmberlain's condemnation
of the Pacific service. Pictures
from the model of the projected
fast Atlantic steamers, to be
heavily subsidized by both the
Imperial and Dominion govern
ments, reveal the handsomest
looking ocean steamers that will
ever have been seen at the time Of
their advent. There is an under
standing between both govern
ments that the Pacific ocean SER
vices, forming part Of the whole
grand across the world routes,
must be in keeping with the At
l-ntic section. The new Atlantic
steamers are to be built under
Admiralty rules, aud armed from
the outset with quick firing guns
at bow and stern, besides having
side sponsors for guns to be
mounted in case of war. There
Is every reason to expect that the
near future will witness the high
est standard, both in elegance and
speed, set for steamships on ali
the great routes of the Pacific.

Honolulu ought to-the word
should be "must"-have a free
general hospital. Often has the
BULLETIN advocated this, suggest
ing that the Queens hospital
might be extended in scope to the
end desired. There has never
been any response from either
that hospitals corporation or any
combination of citizens outside.
At the same time there has been
an abundance of approval given to
the idea privately. Lately this
paper has been urged, influential
ly, to resume agitation of the sub
Jet. 1t knows of no purpose
more necessary for placing Homo
lulu in Inns of advancement, re-
garding the institutions of civil
lization, with towns even several
times less populous. There is not
the least reason for doubt
that if hospital were once
established here, where every
man, woman and child would be
assured of harbor and treatment
when overtaken by accident or
illuess--w without charge whatever
excepting where the subject chose
pay class for whatever advan-
tages might be offered in such
the institution would receive lib
eral support from the community
in general, those depending on
small salaries and ordinary wages
OF labor coming up most gener

This has been proved elsewhere and
human nature is not deteriorated

works of bsnevolence and mercy.

THREE NEW WARSHIPS
To Re Completed, Under Heavy Pen.

To Re Completed, Under Heavy PEN
atty, Within Two Years.
NEW YORK, May 30.-The navy de-
partment will call upon shipbuilders
today to prepare to build the three
battleships authorized by the present
session of congress, with limit Of
cost, excluding armor and armament,
OF $3,000,O0O each, says the Washington
correspondent of the Tribune. Here
tofore the limit of cost was somewhat
larger, as it included arnor, the navy
always building it's own guns.
Proposals will be invited under two
classes, the first on the departmental
plans and specifications, and the sec
end upon designs to be furnished by
the bidders, which must, however, fully
cover certain limitations laid down by
the board of construction.
These ships are to be completed, I'M
Ger heavy penalty, within two and a
half years. After they are delivered
to the government their guns and other
equipment will be installed Their
main battery will be composed of four
13-inch guns in two barbette turrets
one forward and the other aft, and
ten 6-inch rapid-fire guns in broad
side on the main deck, and four sim
liar weapons on the upper deck Two
submerged tubes will be provided, and
eight 17-foot torpedoes. Accommoda-
lions must be arranged for a compile
ment of 500 officers and men, The tur-
rets and ammunition hoists are to be
operated with electricity. A speed of
sixteen knots is required with heavy
penalties for any deficiencies, and if
either vessel fails to make fifteen knots
she may be rejected altogether

A MuffIed Fire Alarm.

Senator ]. B. Foraker wants the cap
tured flags returned now, eleven years
after he gained the soubriquet Of Fire
Alarm" by his ferocious assault upon
President Cleveland for his flag order
and he takes a column in nonpareil to
explain why he wants the flags return
ed now, and why he did not then. The
senator is plausible and adroit in get
ting out of a scrape. whether it is a
ballot box fraud libel or fire alarm
Shrek at the 'treachery" of giving back
to the Southern states the flags taken
from their regiments during the Civil
war. Were the senator frank, he would
say that he and the other shriekers
yelled in 1887 because they wanted to
Eut Cleveland in a hole; that they were
yet boiling with rage over Burchards
break that had made possible the cleo
ton of a Democrat FOR president, in
spite of the purchases made in rotten
New York precincts, and this flag bust
ness gave them chance to show off
their fine frenzy.
Were he candid, he would admit that
he now favors surrendering the flags
because there Is no more politics in
them. If the Northern heart were still
inflammable; if the fear Of the rebel
b1igadier were still alive; if there were
another presidency wrapped up in the
bloody shirt; in short. if there were
anything in it. we can believe that For
aker would be as ready now to shrek
as he was eleven years ago. We have
read through his column of apology to
find in it a statement of the fact that
the order Of President Cleveland was
not made on his own initiative, but
that it was simply confirmatory of the
recommendation of Adjt. Gen. Drum,
himself Republican, who thought that
the flags might better be sent back to
their states than to be kept in the gar
ref OF the war department building to
be eaten by moths. That statement is
not there. of course.

Preparing Fresh Memories.

From now on for another generation
Memorial day will resume the somber-
ness of its earlier days. The nation Is
preparing another stock of sad men,
cries, and the garb of mourning will
be for years to come more prominent
among the participants in the exer-
cises of the day than it has been for
several years. Observers have noted
the gradual change that has come over
the general conception of the day with
in the last decade. new generation
has come on, to whom the day has none
Of the personal touch, the stirring of
heartaches, the revival of grefs
soothed by times quieting touch, that
the Gay brought in the first years of
it's observance. Here and there among
those who participate in strewing
flowers on the graves are the weeds of
a widow or of mother still mourning
for her Offering on the country's altar,
and the survivors of the red fields
grow sober as the day stirs reminis-
cences of comrades who fell out of the
ranks. But for the most part the day
has come to be one Of festivity. Even
the young who take part in memorial
eAeTClSeS SSllSe llOl us SOieIiillily aiiu
take it as a holiday.
Had peace continued, it would be but
a few years before the day would be
given over almost entirely to relaXa-
ton and enjoyment. Addresses would
still be made in which patriotism and
sacrifice would be the theme, but
through them all would run a note of
enjoyment. The Somber shadows Of the
war cloud would have vanished. But
we are again in war time. Again our
boys have gone out to meet a foe, this
time a foreign one, thank God. Death,
coming in the form of disease and
wounds, will claim many a one of
these. At Memorial days to come there
will be many whose hearts will be
bleeding for the loss of some one,
brother, husband or lover, and to them,
at least. Memorial day will have the
sad meaning it had to so many thou
sands when the beautiful custom of it's
observance first began.

the common burden, and the appeals
have been unheeded. Now and then
there has been spasmodic effort to
put some check upon the gratuity CIV
ing Of our common councils, but the ef-
fort Jagged, while the company was per-
sistent and at last got all 1t wanted.
1t is true. as Mr.. Helm has pointed
out. that here Is a source Of revenue
adequate to relieve the city from it's
present dilemma. but 1t is also true that
1t Is source that is far more valuable
than as a temporary resource in an
emergency. Other cities, notably Tor
onto, derive permanent income, and
an increasing one, from the companies
using their streets. We get practically
nothing. We grade and pave our
streets, provide the roadbed, and then
give 1t over to q company for what
amounts to it's exclusive use, and charge
it nothing. If the city does not value
the privileges it bestows, the company
does. The average capitalization Of
street railways is over 100000 a mile.
over three times that of the Great
Northern railway, for instance, which
bought it's right of way, graded it, and
put upon 1t an equipment far more
costly per mile than is that Of a street
railway. The gratuity of the city is
coined into money in the shape of
stocks and bonds.
All this and more has been shown
over and over again. but common coun-
ellis continue to give away franchises.
and assessors continue to be conven-
iently blind when, in their search for
assessable property, they run against
any belonging to these corporations.
and the great public is indifferent both
to the squanderings of their representa-
tives and the gentleness with which as
SCISSORS touch the property Of these
quasi public corpora tons. So, with the
apathy of the Spaniard, we say, in COM
ment on Mr.. Helms proposition, cui

After nearly a week Of miscellaneous

scTlped by the war department.
thereafter, however, it now turns
cut. the war department decided thai
IN calling for $4,000 more men, instead
OF obtaining them in new company,
a aasliaii battalion and brigade or
CARNATIONS, it would utilize a part at
ieast, of this new number in filing out

That an aggressive invasion of Cuba
was imperative, President Mckinley de-
clded to put every company of volun-
teers on war footing with the maxi

This means that Minnesota under the
second call for 25 900 troops will still

front LILA soldiers, but 800 of these will
go to fill out the complement of the
