GEORGETOWN'S INTERESTS
Discussion of Local Affairs at Meeting Of
Citizens Association.
Differences Respecting jenkins Bill
and Peace Carnival. Respectively
The Latter Endorsed.

The second meeting of the Georgetown
Citizens Association was held last night at
the Office of the First Cooperative Building
Association, on 32d street. The most repre-
sentative citizens Of the town were assem-
bled. President r. T. Janney occupied the
the chair, with ]. Barton Miller in the seat
of the secretary.
The first matter of Importance considered
by the meeting was the new constitution,
presented by the committee appointed at
the last meeting to draft the same and to
present it t, this meeting for ratification.
The committee was composed of Messrs
Janney, George W. King, W. T. Mayfieid.
j. Barton Miller and John J. Doian. The
constitution as a whole was adopted with
slight modification, suggested by Mr..
Archibald Greenlees.

Measures Discussed.

Two important measures were discussed
at this meeting, the Jenkins bill, which
provides for the adjustment of the office
of justice of the peace in the District of
Columbia. and the molten for the in
dorsement of the peace carnival. Mr., Jo-
seph ]. Waters spoke of the evils which
terests should the office of justice of the
peace be abolished. He stated that the
municipal court which the Jenkins bill
substitutes for the office of justice of the
peace is given no power to issue warrants
to arrest offenders. The office of justice of
the peace is the only court before whom
masters of vessels could bring refractory
crews for a hearing. Should the Jenkins
bill pass, he said. masters would be COM
pletely under the control of their crews
while here in port, to the great injury of
private and shipping interests. 1t would
also dispose of the law which now enables
parties to secure in summary manner
their private property, The Jenkins bill
would so complex the landlord and tenant
law as to make the management and con-
troll of property cumbersome, thereby seri
ously affecting its value.
Mr.. John ]. Dolan favored the abolish
ment of the office of justice of the peace,
taking exception to some Of Mr.. Waters
statements. 1t provided, he said for all
jurisdiction now exercised by justices with
the exception of jurisdiction over refrac-
tory crews. Mr.. Waters claimed that this
was a most important omission, as George
towns commercial interests are consider
able, and it is a well-known fact, he said,
that crews are largely composed of men
who must be made subject to stringent
laws. After further discussion Mr.. J. Had
ley Doyle, seconded by Mr.. John Leetch
committee on legislation for final consider
alton.

The denials that trouble is brewing
between Russia and Japan deceive no
body. least OF all the people who make
them. Both nations are preparing vast
ornaments although they can hardly

fere with the independence of the
group.
The event was naturally an impor-
tant one and ought TO be annually eel
ebrated by Americans and natives
alike The time thus happily passed
had been one OF grave peril to the
island realm. France had gone out OF
her way to pick quarrels with the King
and his Ministry and Great Britain had
hoisted her flag here and would prob
ably have kept it flying, reducing Ha-
wall 10 a colony, had it not been for
the fact that the British Admiral re-
scented the unauthorized act Of annex
alton by one of his captains. But as
things turned out the two great preda-
tory powers OF Europe agreed to keep
their hands off, signing a joint decla-
ration which read: Her Majesty the
Queen of the United Kingdom of Great
Britain and ireland and His Majesty
the King of the French, taking into
consideration the existence in the
SanuWlcn ISLANDS OF government
capable Of providing for the regularity
of its relations with foreign nations,
have thought it right to engage recip-
rocally TO consider the Sandwich ISL
ands as an Independent State and new
er TO take possession, either directly
or under the title of a protectorate or
under any other form, of any part of
the territory of which they are COM
posed"
In this way Hawaii was admitted to
the family of nations and guaranteed
a freedom which has finally been in
corporated into the wider and less as
sailable freedom of the United States
of America. We have, it is true, a la
ter independence Day, corresponding
to that Of the United States itself, but
the existence of the new one should
never be permitted to obscure the mem
DRY of the great event of 1S43.

The travelling public will await
every move that suggests really big
passenger steamers on the Pacific with
a Iivelier interest when they learn that
the new Oceanic has proved herself an
antidote for seasickness. OF the 1000
souls that crossed in her maiden voy-
age, which occurred during rough
weather. not one suffered from NAL de
mer. The steamer is SO long that she
does not follow the curves Of the
waves and so steady owing to her tri-
pie screws and bilge keels that she
does not roll. In the stOrmiest times
the vibration OF the big boat is no
greater than that of an express train.
Someday we shall get Oceanics on this
sea and then marine travel Will be
freed OF nearly all its discomforts.

Ex-senator Edmunds wants TO give
freedom to the Filipinos. So, in fact,
does President Mckinley. The only
difference between them is one of
method. The Edmunds idea would be
To let the Filipinos shift for themselves
despite the certainty that some Euro
pean power. in the general carving up
of Eastern Asia, would annex them at
convenience and abolish their freedom
by a single turn of the wrist. Presi-
dent Mckinley, on the other hand,
wishes to share the solid guarantees of
American freedom w.,L them. 1t is
easy to see which would be best for the
Filipino people.

A < so THE SURPLUS.

The suggestion made 10 the Adver-
tIser that the surplus might be easily
got into circulation by modifying the
rule by which depositors are obliged to
give long notice of an intention to
withdraw, strikes us as being reason
able and timely. These are days when
the chances to invest with safety and
at n much higher rate of profit than
the Government can return on money
borrowed are met with on every hand
and but for the rule cited large part
of the actual surplus would now be at
work in productive industry. If the
way were opened, say at the option of
the Minister of Finance, to pay over
deposits on demand, there would be an
instant outflow of gold. Of course it
would not be wise to let all the coin Of
the Postal bank go, for under the bust
ness arrangement with the United
States the latter must pay our public
debt up to the sum Of $40 900 and the
money due depositors is, to consider
able amount, a part of this fund. If
we reduce the principal of the debt the
United States will save an equal
amount; if we keep the figures at $4.-
600 900 there will be full vouchers on
hand when the time comes for the
United States to settle with our credit
ors and what surplus is then in the
Treasury will pass to the credit of the
Territorial government. The wise plan
is to merely let go Of what can be
spared and this is enough, we think, to
relieve the business strain materially.
We had thought, when the discus
sion opened, That it might be wise to
wind up the Postal bank altogether
and at once, but there are some very
plain advantages in leaving that for
the United States to do. Nevertheless
some money can be let out and the
sooner it is made available the better.

POWERS OF THE GOvkRNOR.

The Star finds fault with the Terri
torial bill in that, by giving the Gov
ernor the power TO appoint the princi-
pal administrative officers, il places too
much authority in his hands The eff
feet OF such a course would be OPP
posed, in the view OF our contempor-
AIRY, to the policy of decentralization
which il assumes TO be the essence of
American constructive craftsmanship.
Hence the Star argues that such Off
Gals rs the Treasurer, Attorney Gen
eraI, Auditor, High Sheriff and the like
ought to be elective. leaving TO the
Governor the mere appointment of
Boards Of Health, instruction and 9TH
ers OF a public character that may be
created by law.
If the bill called for Gubernatorial
appointment without restraint we
should agree with the main PROPOSE
tiOn which the Star lays down. But
as our contemporary itself admits. the
appointments made by the Territorial
Executive would have to be confirmed,
if legalized at all, by the Territorial
Senate. This would give the voters
the power TO say who shall not serve
them. which is the next best thing to
saying who shall. Far from being un-
American the system is precisely that
which obtains in the Government of
the United States; for in that the
President appoints and the Senate
passes upon the appointments of the
heads of all the great departments of
the public service. We do not think
the power has been often abused. Ger
tainly the people have seen no reason
to ask that the posts of Secretary of
State, Attorney General, Secretary of
the Treasury, etcetera, should be
made elective. They are satisfied that
the Senate will stand between them
and Executive rascality or incompe-
tence. May we not assume as much
for our own Senate. seeing how near it
will be TO the people? And do we
need to fear a Governor whose hands
are thus restrained and who is, be-
sides. subject to instant removal for
cause by the power that gave him his

The death of Miss Lizzie Bingham
broke one of the few remaining links
that Joined the first one in the chain
of Protestant missionary effort in these
Islands. The life of this good woman
covered nearly the whole period Of Ha-
vaiiau evangelization. Miss Bingham
was born nine years after the arrival,
of the earliest missionaries and had
seen Hawaii slowly emerge from a
state of semi-barbarismin into acondition
which was APPLY described by President
Dole in q recent speech wherein le
said that the Hawaiiaus are the most
advanced of any of the dark races. II
is to the peculiar credit OF Miss Bling
ham that she never lost her childhood
inspiration for missionary work but
went about doing good among the ma
tive Hawaiians so long IS she was ply

voices her work does not necessarily
end. II follows her in the good indU-
ences she left behind.

Another hereto has entered the
arena and flung down his gauntlet, not
tentatively nor timorously but auda-
ciously and nonchalantly. DIR. Gun
saulus, reared in Methodism and late
the Paladin of Congregationalism
stands before the members Of the Con-
gregational association and unblush-
ingly tells them that modern ortho-
doxy is SO unprogressive that every
one of its doctrines may be made he
terodox by "a life inspired by the spirit
Of holiness" Proceeding on the lines
of this basic statement, he directed the
battery of his rhetoric at the inspira-
tion of the Old Testament and riddled
the patriarchs and prophets with grape
and canister.
