that the old road overseer system

pointed by the county courts, sub

redistricted, each district to have

shall have complete control of all

work may be done either under
the direction Of the board or BY

come effective January 1, 1900.

and militarism ''havc been the po-
litical tencts of Republicanism ever
since the days of Alexander Ham

tunity afforded by the late war, the
Republicans would prostitute 4

people into war Of conquest and

hand. says that ''to abandon the

government and would not only
lose us trade but the respect of the
world" Moreover, what is of
more importance to the average
Democrat than either trade or the

A PROBABLE FOE.

The rapid progress of the beet indus
try in the United States is worthy of
consideration Last year the beet fac
tories of the mainland produced SO, $50
tons of beet sugar, the estimate for the
ensuing season is 122, 900, or pretty near
ly three times greater The total con-
sumption of sugar in the United States
for last year was close upon 2,16O 900
tons, and the amount obtained last year
from the home beet sugar crop, was
nothing as compared with this amount,
even the 10000 tons coming from the
estimated crop of this year is a small
percentage Of the required amount 1t
will be a long time before the beet
growers of the United States will be
able to supply the home market, which
is the dream of some utopian agricul-
turalists.
Moreover the demand for sugar in the
United States is constantly increasing.
and the population is ever increasing,
30 that the 2,16O,OOO tons which was
required to supply the nation last year
will be considerably larger at the end OF
next year and very much larger at the
end Of fiye. years, At the present time

IL is satisfactory to have a good word
for the health authorities. George K.
Carter who has had experience of quar-
antine in Japan, compares the methods
there, with the methods here, very
much in favor of the former. 1t is
satisfactory to get an endorsement of
this kind, because detention in quaran-
tine is not calculated to make person
take very rosy view of either his sur
roundings or his accommodations. In
fact Mr.. Carter is about the first cheer
full quarantined individual that has
been reported in a very long time 1t is
evident that the health authorities do
all that they can for those who are
placed in she unfortunate position of
coming from suspicious port, and
alleviate as far as possible a very un-
pleasant evil which has to be borne for
the sake of the good of the community
in general.

The missionary question in the Phil
Ippines is going to cause trouble. IN
deed it has caused trouble already. One
missionary who went to Cebu stirred up
so much excitement, that the American
officers had to ask him to withdraw.
The Filipinos are ignorant and ignor-
ance breeds bigotry, the world over. so
1T follows that the Filipinos are inten-
sely bigoted. If the political situation
on the islands has given rise to the
widest canards the religious one will
give rise to still wilder ones, and Will
arouse ten fold bitterness In dealing
with the Filipinos from a religious
standpoint, the greatest care should be
used, but then, however much care the
heads of religious body may use, it is
almost inevitable that those who are
employed by them will be Incorporate
in their zeal. This comes from the very
nature of things, for unless people are
very earnest they will not undertake
the work, and very earnest people are
very onesided people. There is evident
ly trouble in store from this direction.

The Argonaut has it that Caspar
Whitney found no distinctly American
thought on political questions in Ha-
wall. How the Argonaut makes it's de-
duction from Caspar Whitney's sketch
es is not very clear. The newspapers
here show a very lively interest in the
affairs of the mainland, and large
proportion of our people are as well
posted upon the great political ques-
tions or the day, as ever they are in the
city of San Francisco. And not only
this, but they have a very good ac-
auaintance with international ques-
tions, which comes from the cosmopoli-
tanism of the place. In proportion, as
intelligent a vote 'and mayhap a more
intelligent vote upon great issues can
be secured on the Islands as can be OBJ
tanned on the average on the mainland
But if the Argonaut can get an ugly
fling in, it is bound to do it.

The lava flow continues undated.

ing from the experience of SIMILAR flows.
The story that it has broken out in the
direction of Kona as we'll as flowing to-
wards Hilo and Kau, is hardly credible.
1t is highly probable that the flow will
be concentrated into one of two

analogy that it will be the Hilo stream
that will continue. There have been
flows towards Kau before, and they
