authorized for expenditure, is not col
lected till from eleven to fifteen months
after the assessment is made This
brought about state of things which
was runious to the city and democrat
izing to the citizens. The city treasury
was always empty, the city officers had
to be paid in scrip redeemable any
where from a year to month off, ac-
cording to the season at which it was
issued. OF course this was cashed at a
discount and salaries in scrip had to
be increased in order to meet the dis
count The consequence was a serious
loss to the city.
Carter Harrison persuaded and urged
each city department to save a sur
plus yearly, instead of reappropriating
it as had been done before his time.
With this surplus he created the gem
eral fund. In eight years this had
grown to 100000. With this in hand
payments were made in cash and scrip
was discarded forever To have ac-
complished this was the browning work
of his administrations.
Carter Harrison the younger though
in early life he showed no special abil-
ity, has become a shrewd politician
Neither he nor his father have been
newspaper favorites, and it is a curious
fact that the more they We're opposed
in print the bigger have been their
majorities. The younger follows the
financial policy of his father, and he
also follows him in his opposition to
Yerkes. The latter is the monopolist
of the franchises and the head of much
corruption. AS far as Chicago is con-
cerned, the election of Carter Harrison
is strong protest against Yerkes and
all his works. AS far as the country
at large is concerned, it is a straw
pointing to the advantage of the Re
publican party, though it is a blow to
the machine.

FESTINA LENTE.

The question of the day is the labor
question Put aside as an uncomfort-
able thing to discuss, as one that had
better not be brought up, as one which
might be put off indefinitely, it has
now come as a direct issue Though
the Hawaiian cabinet has had no di-
rect communication from the Presi-
dent upon the point, at least such is
the information given upon inquiry,
there can be no doubt that a hint as to
the necessity of dealing with the ques-
ton of contract labor has been re-
ceived, and that the calling together
the representatives of the planters is
the direct result of information from
the mainland.
w. O. Smith in his paper asks What
is the intention? To prevent further
/ introduction of Japanese? or to shift
the responsibility of their introduction
from the government to the planters ?"
But may not the true intention be
neither? Is it not rather that, know
ing what it does, the cabinet is desr-
GUS of showing that it is not in favor
of contract labor, and that it is try
I ing to force an issue which will bring
about the gradual abolition of it. in
stead of waiting till the United States
laws are extended, when the system
would cease in a flash.
We all know that in the bill which
was prepared by the Hawaiian COM
missiOners a provision was made for
the gradual extinction of the contract
labor system. But that bill never ma
terialized in congress. 1t is quite UNI
derstandable that congress will say
when it meets, Nothing was done
about your legislation at last session,
and we let you go your own way. You
knew perfectly we'll what the views of
the American people were upon con-
tract labor; you have had considerable
time to bring yourselves into line with
our views, you have done nothing. We
are not going to bother about YOU
our laws prohibiting contract labor go
into force at once. 1t is your own
fault that you are not prepared"
1t is wise to discuss carefully the
possibilities for the future now, and
1t is unwise to say, Let us go along
as we are going; what does it matter
what we do, we are too small and in
significant to be much noticed" We
want to keep our prosperity, we want
no flash in the pan. Sudden wrenches
either in labor systems or in any other
systems are liable to create depression,
for the results of sudden changes can
not be readily foreseen, and things not
foreseen cause hesitation and lack of
confidence, and these bring about de-
preston.
To keep our prosperity therefore we
must be prepared. 1t is then the wisest
thing for both cabinet and planters to
face the labor question and seek to
solve it now. How best to do it they,
whose greatest interests are bound up
in it, can best judge and suggest.

AN IMPORTANT ELECTION.


The election of Carter Harrison as
mayor of Chicago commanded the in
terest, not alone of the local politicians,
but of the entire United States. More
over the Republicans, though Harri-
son is a Democrat, are satisfied, be-
cause it was not a question of electing
a Republican or a Democrat in Chica-
go, but it was question of electing a
Democrat who would be least objec-
tionable to the Republican party, and
Republicans can look for assistance,
under certain circumstances, to Carter
Harrison.
Carter Harrison the younger seems
to be treading in the footsteps of his
father who was the most popular civ
ic official Chicago ever had. 1t is Just
about twenty years ago since the faith
er was elected mayor for the first time,
and he filled the office five times His
main work during that time was put
ting Chicago upon good financial ba-
sis. In this he succeeded and he es-
tablished such a precedent that no
mayor after him will ever be allowed
to undo his work.
What Carter Harrison the elder did
is simply told. In Illinois the cities
and villages have to pass what may
be called appropriation bills, every year
between January LIST and March 31st.
This appropriation must not exceed a,
certain rate of the assessed valuation
OF the year before. This money, though

The report of the arrest of the cap
tain of the Fake is on the face of it
more than highly improbable. 1t is
merely a rumor floating about the cap
ital of Fiji. This colony is essentially
Australian in it's views, and the Aus
tralians are bitterly opposed to Ger
man influence in the South Pacific. The
people of Suva would greedily believe
any cock and. bull story that was told
about the Germans. Isolated commu-
mites, seldom visited from the outside
world, are a prey to rumors. We know
this only too we'll in Honolulu and up
on the other Islands, where the most
distorted stories pass current, in spite
of their inherent improbabiIity.

She has been a total wreck; she has

now she is going to make the voyage

The Chinese general in one of the

cradle foresight. Doubtless he reason
ed MY pay is so much a year, and
during the next five years it will be
five times the amount. But while am
waiting to draw it, number of I'M

be killed myself and should lose my
pay. 1t is better that l should pay
myself in advance and save my own

stop the rebellion and please the Anne

that will cast honor on the shades of
my ancestors" So exit with treasure
chest, and happiness reigns supreme.

1t is something that the filtration of
the city water supply has been brought
before the Board of Health, but it is
no new thing which is being considered.
Plans for the filtration of the city wa
ter supply have been made and have
been discussed most learnedly, with
the result that nothing has been DONE
If the Board of Health would go to
work and have the crowded districts
cleaned up, it would do much prac-
teal good There are certainly
means at hand which would clean up
the dirty districts and not at any great
expense either. While the doctors are
differing and discussing, the mortality
is running up at the rate of SO per
thousand among the Hawaiians.

One would like to see the attendance
at Professor Rolfes lectures formed
of younger elements than were, as a
rule, present last evening. 1t is dis
tinctly to the young men and young
women that this work appeals, and it
is among them that the greatest good
will be done. If people have not ac-
uuired a literary taste and a store of
knowledge before they are fifty not
the silver tongue of a Chrysostom nor
the ponderosity of a Johnson, nor the
sweet notes Of a Shelley, will do much
for them. You must catch your true
book lover young.

During the general debate upon the army
appropriation bill In the House on Saturday
last Mr. johnson Republican, OF Indlana)
delivered against the President and some OF
his advisers the most scathing philippe
heard 10 the House for months. He sneered
at The President and the influences which
he alleged controlled him; impugned his
motives, questioned his sincerity and likened
him TO Pecksniff, Dickens most contempt
BILE character. He charged his Secretary of
War with incompetency and predicted that
the President would in the end be engulied
by adverse public sentiment. Mr.. johnson
has represented the sixth Indiana district
In the House for the past eight years, and
has made a reputation as one of the ablest
AMI most incisive speakers in that body.
Although pronounced Republican, he has
at times taken issue with his party and has
always had the courage To express his con
vctions. He was bitterly opposed To the war
with Spain, and delivered several speeches
sharply crticising the course of the admin
ietratiun.

Il NATIONAL DLsGRAOE.


The persistent efforts OF the Naval Bureau
10 advance Admiral Sampson without merit,
and to dishonor Admiral Schley chiefly be-
cause Of his merit as displayed at Santiago,
have brought upon the government and the
country a scandal that can be effaced only
by ending the controversy. Since Admiral
Schley's dignihed and exhaustive presenta'
ton Of the Santiago campaign further to de-
grade him can result only 10 infamy on the
part Of those who attempt it.
The inception Of this nava! dispute that
has eliminated in such consuming shame
TO the government, was the entirely unwar'
ranted promotion of Captain Sampson To
~ the command of the fleet over such com
petent, experienced and thoroughly tested
naval officers as Admiral Bunce, Commo.
dore Watson, Commodore Schley and 9TH
ers 1t was not only unwarranted on the
score Of merit, but it was equally unwar-
ranted by law, as the President has no au
thority 10 promote any naval officer out OF
the regular order of promotion 10 the rank
of acting Rear Admiral unless he has re.
ceved the thanks Of Congress.
The administration thus started with
blunder that could not be justified under
any circumstance, and could be excused
only by Captain Sampson fairly winning
his honors In action, aud the original error
has oeen magnifed by the studied effort to
make the country and the world believe
that Admiral Sampson is entitled To the
credit for the victory at Santiago, when he
was not In the action at all and did not give
a command To any vessel while actually EN-.
gagged.
These blunders belong u the past and
they cannot be corrected. The President
and Secretary of the Navy, possibly, acted
IN good faith, but were grossly misled by
the Naval Bureau, that is distinguished
chiefly Tor It's despotic meanness, nomin.
ated Sampson and Schley TO the Senate for
the rank OF Rear Admirals, Sampson being
named first, and II so confirmed he would
he the senior officer. These nominations
have been held up by the Senate because
large majority of the Senators believe that
injustice has been done to Admiral Schley
and gravey doubt the propriety of confirm
ing sampson as his senior.
We have reached point in this navy dis
grace that demands heroic action, and q
reasonable solution of the problem would
be for the Senate TO confirm Sampson and
Schley, and have the House amend the Sen
ate bill creating the rank of Admiral for
Dewey, by adding two Vice Admiras,
when would be entirely justified by our
increased navy and thus do measurable
justice to Admiral Schley by giving him
the second highest rahk In the navy. 1t
would be matter Of comparative little mo
mant that Sampson might be his senior, as
Sampson would be accorded only the honor
Ia which his rank is entitled, while Schley
would be accorded not only the honor Of
his rank but the homage of the whole
American people.

Germany, it is stated, has placed the in
terests Of her citizens at Manila and Iloilo
in the care Of Admiral Dewey and will
withdraw her warships from those places
This action is prompted, it is believed, by a
desire to prove unequivocally that Germany
has no interests or designs in the Philip.
pines hostile 10 those OF the United States
Now that Dewey has forces enough TO safe.
guard foreign interests there Is no occasion
for Germany to maintain ships in the Philip
pines for that purpose. There is additional
reason for Withdrawing German vessels In
the fact that their presence has been the &C.
