BURIED ALIVE.
American

Every now and again there are grue-
some tales of buried alive, and it is no
wonder that large section Of the liv-
ing would object to taking the chan
ces of those moments of agony a poor
creature finds himself or herself in
when imprisoned in a six foot box and
strives wildly to escape from the in
escapable.
The latest instance brought to light
is reported from New York, an account
of which was reproduced in The Star
yesterday. To read of such a thing as
being possible is horror striking and
makes one fairly shudder. But this is
after all only one instance out of
many which have occurred and which
will occur again.
In Munich they guard against such a
possibility by having the corpses kept
in open collins for a considerable period
before burial, a cord being attached
to the hands which would ring a bell
if the supposed corpse came to life,
There is watch kept night and day
to listen for a possible signal.
But this all points to the advantages
of cremation. AS this is conducted
now there are none of the unpleasant
feelings which surround the grave and
many of our citizens earnestly desire
that this form should be used.

WASHINGTON.

1t is like gliding refined gold and
painting the lily to say words in praise
of washington's career. His name goes
down in history linked with those of
the greatest and best in ancient and
modern times. 1t is not the petty de-
tails of his life that we want to know
and pry into, it is the great life work
which stamped him the foremost man
of his age and of any age, that we
should dwell upon.
Washington laid the foundation stone
of the power that will be the greatest
in the worlds history, and the beauty
and charm of that foundation is that
it has been and will be in the advance
ment of it's theories and ideals for the
ultimate advantage of the human race.
Not only citizens of the United States
but citizens of the world may doff
their caps in honor of the memory of
Washington, whose birthday is COM
memorated today. He lived not alone
for his own people and for his own age,
but he lived as an example of pure
patriotism for the whole world and for
all time.

There are some very ugly stories
afloat in the mainland papers of finan-
cial aid being given to the Filipinos by
talists. The story is the more empha-
sized by the fact that the vessel which
Dewey seized in the act of bringing
arms and ammunition to the Filipinos
which action probably caused the
Filipinos to attack the American lines
was owned and differed by Ameri-
cans. The next mail from the coast
may develop this side of the question
and throw more light on it. If it be
true, there are some very unpatriotic
Americans

The great difficulty in dealing with
the famine stricken provinces in Rus
STA. according to ex-Ambassador
Hitchcock, is to prevent the peasants
from becoming pauperized. The feel
ing among the peasant class has be-
come that it had the right to demand,
rather than to request, assistance from
the government, even when the need
for such assistance was occasioned by
their own laziness as well as by the
failure of the crops. The desire and
intention of the Russian government
is to force upon the peasantry, even at
the expense of some suffering, habits
of industry and thrift. This sounds
very we'll on paper but it must work
mighty hard in practice.

MISREPRESENTATION.

Hawaii is frequently misrepresented
by people who have visited the Islands,
and who misrepresent in perfect good
faith They come here in search of the
picturesque and the odd, and they re-
turn with the intention of showing Ha-
wall as it is, but succeed in showing
Hawaii as it isn't.
This thought is accentuated by re-
port upon a lecture recently given by
Colonel Francis w. Parker at the Me-
dill school, Chicago. The impression
made upon the reporter was that the
lecture was a running commentary up
on picturesque mountains, volcanoes
hideous gods and strangely costumed
natives. No word upon commerce,
manufactures, steamships and so forth.
But after such talk people go away
with an impression of idols, and semi
nude savages, and the whole idea OF
the country is distorted.
The same wrong has been done us
by the exhibition of the hula at the
various fairs of recent years. One
might as we'll gather an idea of Lon
don, by exhibiting the crowd on the
Haymarket at midnight, or of France
by a reproduction of the now defunct
Jardin Mabille. Whatever may be said
or written people who saw the exhibit
lions of the hula, went away with an
entirely erroneous impression of the
Hawaiian life of the present day.
So again the display of ancient Ha-
waiian implements, of grass houses,
and so forth, is utterly misleading.
They are interesting from an archeolog-
ical point of view, but they no more
give the idea of the Hawaii of today,
than a set of implements and drawings
of the time of Alfred, or the exhibition
of the armor in the tower of London
would give an idea of the England OF
| today.
What we want shown to the people
of the United States is the Hawaii of
the present era, not the Hawaii of the
past In this respect the lectures de-
livered by Burton Holmes are doing
good work. They are modern, and
show the social life and the Islands as
they are. They do not show "hideous
gods and strangely cOstumed natives.

The decision of the attorney general,
that the volunteer troops cannot be re-
tanned in the service after the ratifica-
tions of the peace treaty have been
completed between Spain and the Unit
ed States, will be hailed with joy by
the members of the engineer corps sta
toned here. Many of these men are
anxious to get home, where wives and
families are awaiting the majority of
them. They have accepted their mac
ton here, cheerfully, but nevertheless
it has been excessively irksome to
them, especially as they are almost all
skilled mechanics who can earn high
wages

AN ANOMALY.
wages.

The sale of a horse at auction at the
pound for seventy cents, which HUI
name Officer Helen Wilder paid for
an unfortunate animal in order to have
the poor brute put out of it's misery,
opens up subject worthy of cOnsid-
Grafton.
The horses which are impounded are,
after proper advertising, which by the
way is seldom properly carried out,
and of which more anon, sold at
public auction if unclaimed. But in
many cases the horses which remain
unclaimed are absolutely worthless.
The sale which officer Wilder attended
was of this character. The highest
price realized at the sale was 81 for a
poor creature which was bought by a
Japanese. The unfortunate animal
was described as showing several fan
cy spavins, ringbones and spring
halts." The humane officer remarked
that she expected to have the horse and
the Japanese before long at the police
station.
Now consider the position. By law
a
ter, has to sell at auction animals
which it is absolute cruelty to use. BY
law also another government official,
the Humane officer, can have the per-
son who has bought the animal from
the government pound master, arrest
ed for using it, and, on proving the
case, can have the owner fined. 1t is
a beautiful system which puts a GER
tain sum of money into the govern
ment realization, through the pound
master and then again gets more
through a fine in the police court. As
Mulvaney says, "Tis a miracle of
law"
The law needs changing. If horses
are not claimed and are in the condi-
tion in which many poor. animals reach
the pound, instead of being sold to
have seven dollars worth of misery
beaten out of them, they should be
mercifully put out Of their pain. In
point of fact many poor waits, which
find their way into the pound, have
been cast adrift because their owners
can make nothing more out of them.
AS the position is now, the government
is only putting a premium upon cruel
ty to animals.
Now with reference to advertising.
The law is very clear upon the point.
1t reads as follows:
Sec. 462 1t shall be the duty of ev-
cry Pound Master to post written no
tees at the postoffice Cf there be one
in the district, and at not less than
two other public places in his district,
in the Hawaiian and English Language
es, and to publish a notice in any
newspaper which may be issued in his
district, in said language, as soon as
possible after the impounding of any
estray.
AS far as Honolulu is concerned that
portion of the law which refers to
posting written or printed notices at
the postofIice" is ignored and has been
for years, AS far as Hilo is concerned
the advertising in the papers of the
district is also ignored, as far as a
regular glance through their columns
shows, though this may be incorrect.
But merely arguing about Honolulu,
the law is certainly not complied with.
Like all small things the pound busi-
ness is not paid much attention to,

and the horses and other animals are
frequently insufficiently fed 1t might
be well if the Humane officer would
look into the method of feeding the
animals, as well as looking into the &C.
centricities of sale.

to keep an accurate account of the

Inarlirn weighed upon the mind Of
Paul Jones more heavily than the hardest
of Labor. He Lad to be up and doing all
the time, or trouble was Brewing Tor
every body on ship board. So when we
reached Nantes, France, and fourd that
the frigatc which had been promised hlm
WAS not forthcoming, he determined,
alone ard unaided, To do with the little
Ranger what he was not yet destined to
do with Il bigger ship. No person but
Paul Jones would for moment have con-
Sidered such Il despc'a ate project as the
one he conceived. What the flower OF
the navy and chivalry Of France had re-
fused TO attempt was little short OF suicide
for the mad american. But Jones was
not cast in an ordinary mould. When he
got to Brest, he made up his mind once
and for all, by one good fire OF British
shipping to put an end to all the ship
and town burnings in America -(ieofge

love and serve their Master. Mr.. Hume
will be missed both at home and by
the community generally. The afflicted
family have the sympathy of the en-
tire community.
