Some horsemen are sore over the
races of Kamehameha Day, but the
general public has no kick coming
at the manner in which the events
were run. There is difference of
course as regards the opinion of
people who do not know the differ
ence between a saw-horse and
race horse. The Jockey Club is to
be congratulated on the outcome.
To the thinking men of these
Islands, as well as to the thinking
men of the Southern States of
America, the problem of dealing
with the darker races will be the
one absorbing problem of the flu
ture. That problem no longer in
either section involves revolution
by arms, but it does involve social
revolution. In the Southland the
problem is in the hands of the
whites, who are numerically ST.
perior to the resident darker race,
but in these Islands, it is to be solv-
ed by a small minority of the domi-
nant class. But we are in a transi-
ton state Although the Asiatic
population vastly outnumbers the
whites, it has not become a settled
population.-P. c. Advertiser.

The great scheme of Cecil
Rhodes for railway through the
heart OF Africa to connect Cairo
with Cape Town, is meeting with
encouragement. Mr.. Rhodes is
now in London working for it's Sue
cess. The line from Buluwayo, the
terminus of the present Cape sys-
tenn, to Khartum, will be more than
three thousand miles long, and is
estimated to cost forty-seven mil
lion dollars. Mr.. Rhodes has been
assured of ten million dollars for
the section from Buluwayo to Lake
Tanganyika, and the remainder
can be secured when the surveys
from Tanganyika to Khartum are
made. Germany is said to look
with favor on the project, and will
give consent for right of way
through a strip of German terri
tory. At Khartum it is planned to
connect with the Egyptian line
which is built up the Nile as far as
Atbara. Another railway project
which is attracting considerable at
tention, is that of extending the
system of India to Kandal1ar and
Cabul. to connect with the Russian
railway. This would make Bonn
bay and Calcutta the outlets for
Russian commerce in Asia.

Dled Ill the last three years, and VIII
this year reach a value of nearly if
not quite $5,ooo,ooo, partly the re-
suit of the fact that more planta-
tons ship directly from here, but
still more because all the planta-
tons hereabouts are rapidly in
creasing both their acreage and
their output per acre. Waakea is
a notable example of this; the in
crease i'll cultivated area being near
ly at the rate of one thousand acres
per year, while the introduction of
new machinery and intensive cult
walton makes the output per acre
considerably larger. Nor is this an
isolated instance; hardly planta-
ton along the coast can be men-
toned which is not showing similar
advance in greater or less degree.

Only the anti-expansion freaks
will weep and rant over the practi-
cal recall of the Philippine Com
mission. The sooner the people of
the United States come to General
Otis conclusion, to fight out the
Philippine problem, the better it
will be for this country and the
Philippines as well. History has
shown that the greatest mistakes
Our country has made has been in
the appointment of Peace Commits
sions when the people with whom
the nation is dealing are wrought
up to the fighting pitch. The ma
jority OF the American people will
never consent to withdrawal from
the Philippines and the best way to
save American lives is to pour suf-
ficient troops into the islands so that
when ground is gained it can be
held, thus doing away with fighting
old fields over notwithstanding

CITY IN DANGER.
Fire Plugs Frozen and No Alarm
System in Operation

The total destruction by fire Of the
house of Edward Atkinson, of Belmont
street, as mentioned in yesterdays Tri-
hune, brought out the fact that the en-
tire city is in danger. The tiremen
found three hydrants frozen and had
to thaw one out before a stream could
be obtained. Then it was too late TO
do anything but save adjacent prop
crty.
1t is fair to presume that half the
hydrantS of the town are In the same
condition and if fire should break out
in the business districts a confiagra-
ton would certainly be the outcome.
When McDonoughs ice house burned,
n couple Of months ago, fire plug was
found frozen and The Tribune at that
time called the attention of the city
fathers to the eXpediency of having
those in the central city tested. Not a
thing has been done since. 1t is bad
enough to be without a fire alarm Sys-
TEN, but there is absolutely no excuse
for failure to keep the plugs open. This
is exceptional weather and exceptional
measures should be adopted for the
protection of property owners.
