ALCOHOL No POISON.

The Outlook has taken position on
the temperance question, which rouses
the indignation of the temperance re-
formers.
Prof. Atwater whose writings on
the food question have been so widely
read during the last ten years, has been
making experiments in the use OF alco-
hol, In behalf of the Committee OF Fifty

THE COOKING SCHOOL.

The establishing OF cooking school
In this place. Is not only good bust
ness venture, but a social necessity,
and an important charity. II affects
the comfort of nearly all of the people
living on the Islands, who employ
cooks, What is prosperity worth with
out comfort? What Is home without
good kitchen and competent and
good tempered cook?
There Is no place In the world that
has better facilities for obtaining good
cooks than Honolulu has. The Asia
ties learn with rapidity, There have
been for twenty years large numbers
Of them ready and willing to enter do
nestle service, but there has been no
organized plan for their education In
cookery, and they have picked up rde
art by chance, Now We are SURFING

The experiments made in this mat
ter have been very costly, and with no
other object than that OF ascertaining
the truth, and the truth only.
The Outlook says that Prof. Atwater
should be commended for putting tenn
perance reform on a basis of truth, and
in making clear what the true function
of alcohol Is. The temperance re-
formers have now for half centui.
been shouting that alcohol Is poison, +,
while there is abundant evidence on
all sides of multitudes OF men, of ma
tons, that 1t Is not poison in itself. |

tenths of men of that nation use it

the children should be taught the truth
about IT, and that the text books in
the schools should be corrected. There
is nothing that demoralizes child so
quickly as the discovery that the parent
or teacher has made a statement which
IL not true. although 1t is done with
out intent to misrepresent. When the
child is taught that alcohol is a dan
gerous food, he will be put on his |
guard in the use of 1t. The temperance
reformers have crippled the success Of
their own work, by making statements
that were not true.

THE TRAN WAYS COMPANY.

The public has no kindly feeling for
the Tramways Company, for reasons
which every one has at his tongues
end. They need not be restated. At
the same time, both the government
and the people have not been willing
to deprive the company OF any privi-
leges or advantages which 1t has OBJ
tanned by law. The government in
1895, was unwilling to grant rights Of
construction to any new carrying com
pany, which it might have done, be-
cause 1t hesitated to indirectly injure
the Tramways Company.
The Tram Company instead OF meet
ing the demands of the city for better
facilities of travel. instead of prompt
ly placing itself abreast Of the growth
OF the place. instead of simply i'm
proving the condition Of its cars, gave
the community to understand clearly
that it intended to hold on to what it
had got, and make Improvements at its
leisure, If it cared to make any.
The Legislature by Act "a, 1895, noti-
fled the company that j must introduce
electric power by January LIST, 1897.
The company snapped its fingers at the
law, and did not comply with it, then,
and has not yet. although nearly five
years have passed. That an electric
service would have paid, the experts in
such matters have unhesitatingly de-
clared There is therefore no doubt on
the question Of profit.
Moreover. the Tramways Company
has admitted that there must be large
profit in rapid transit, by virtually pro-
posing a consolidation of the two COM
panies, with abundantly watered Sc
curites, upon which interest and
dividends can he paid.
Having taken the stand for some
years that an electric road would not
pay, it suddenly suggests that the pub
lie may be skinned" out of enough
money to pay for a large increase of
watered securities.
Having called into existence a new
company, by its own want of enterprise
and failure to meet its obligations as
the holder of a public franchise, the
Tram Company suggests combination
with the new company, The commu
nifty Is in no mood to endorse such an
arrangement. The Tram Company IL
entitled To hold all the rights under its
charter that the law, and the courts
will give IL, but nothing more. II has
done nothing to win the confidence OF
the public. On the other hand, II has
dehed the public, 1t has
offered TO do nothing In the way of inn
provements, but has persistently asked
for more privileges, II the Tram Com
pany has watered It's securities 80 that
IL cannot raise more capital, that IL a
misfortune OF its own creation, for
which the community must not suife',

KING STREET.
Upon being asked concerning the
Rapid Transit Company's action in
asking for a privilege to run it's rails
on King street. Mr.. Thurston said that
the original intention had been to
make use OF Hotel street as the main
entrance into the city on the Waikiki
side: but that owing to the failure OF
the Legislature to appropriate money
enough to widen and cut through
Hotel street between Alapai and Punch
bowl streets, it was impossible to do
this.
The law provides that upon the re-
quest Of one-half OF the property own
ers on any street, the Company can,
with the consent of the Executive
Council, locate on such street
More than two-thirds of the prop
erty owners on King street have
signed request to the Company to
locate its line on that street. This re-
quest, the Executive Council has ap-
proved. The Rapid Transit Company
has located the line on King which 1t
proposes to occupy with its track, and
this location has been approved by the
Executive Council.
OPEN TO REASONABLE PROPOSE
TON.
IF at any time" said Mr.. Thurston,
The Tramway Company has any rea-
sonable proposition to make by which
tho u a MD Tro ait Con, no N ~ shall toko
over its franchise and property, the
Rapid Transit Company will be glad to
consider the proposition; meanwhile
the Rapid Transit Company does not
depend upon acquiring anything from
the Tramway Company and Is making
all its plans to proceed independently
of any franchise which the Tramway
Company possesses"

In the meantime, the most eventful
trial OF the century continues at Rem

almost insignificant man, sits with q

No cannot escape. Thereeis material
enough in the spectacle, in the whole
proceeding, to call into being the finesl
drama since Joan of Arc stood before
her judges, behind whom were the
English nation, and gave TO history one
Of its most dramatic events. One may
ask why has this common man, with
out rank or friends. been taken from
a cell, on distant island, in which he
was tortured for four years, and re-
luctantly brought back and placed be-
fore the eyes of forty millions of his
own icountryment, and before three
hundred millions of other people who
are straning their eyes towards
France?
Simply because there As before them

spectacle OF justice standing before the
French people and demanding that the
law of right be executed in this case.
While the forty millions of French
people were slumbering over this in
justice, for four years, lola, the story
teller of the slums, moved by supreme
love of justice, caught the ear OF the
people. The great soul OF the world is
justice" He aroused the great soul,

FRkNCn JUSTICE

The trial Of Dreyfus before a court
nartiai shows the singular differenc,
b~eween the Jurisprudence Of Franco
ara the Anglo Saxon countries In the
: latter countries, witness Is required
90 state facts within his personal
kuowledge. and his opinions are rigidly
excluded. Ine Judge and jury only
may express their opinions about the
facts. The Dreyfus case shows that
che witnesses are permitted to make
stump speeches, argue the case. strike
attitudes. and make a sensation. When
N. Casimir-P erier, a late President Of
the Republic. was sworn as a witness
instead OF answering the questions
which were put TO him, according to
the practice Of the Anglo-Saxon courts,
ne exclaimed In a loud voice: Mon
xieur le Presidente, you ask me to
speak the truth. and all the truth. l
have sworn to do 1t. | will speak with
out reticence. without reserve, in its
entirety. | will not leave this place
without saying all. ! will not leave
ihis place until have left an unalter-
able conviction that | know nothing
which might throw light on the case"
This voluble dramatic effusion would
he checked by the Judge in an Anglo
Saxon court by tn eorder, Witness
answer questions and don't make
speeches.
Gen. MERCER was allowed when a
witness. to harangue the court, and
state that he believed that Dreyfus was
guilty. This, IL uttered in an American
court room, would have been regarded
M utterly irregular and inadmissible.
At the same time 1t may be true as
the Frenchmen claim, that justice Is
secured as well in the French courts
~ II is IN the Anglo-Saxon courts.
The Dreyfusards are disappointed,
because Dreyfus is not more dramatic
while on trial. They believe in effects
attitudes and gestures. These have a
moral significance to the Latin mind.
The Dreyfusards know that Dreyfus
has been SO debilitated by persecution
that he cannot rise to the occasion.
but they regret it, as fine action"
would help the case.
