MIR. PLA1sT AND MIR. GILBERT.


MIR. PLATVT AND MIR. GILBERT.
There are good many respectable per-
sons in this city, as elsewhere, no doubt,
who believe that the disposition now so
general to criticise the part played by
such men as Plat, Hanna and Quay in
political life to be little better than the
ordinary expression of partisanship. It
is to the tolerant Indifference of such
men that the country in greatest measure
owes the ascendancy of such characters
in it's public affairs.
The people of Minnesota have recently
had brought home to them with striking
force the meaning of the form of bossism
which these men represent, and have
been offered a very striking Illustration
of the instance of it's operation. Mr..
Cass Gilbert, well known architect Of
this city, was successful in having his
plans for the new custom house in New
York city adopted by a commission Of
architects created under a law passed to
secure open competition for the archi-
tectural work on public buildings. The
news was naturally received with a good
deal of pleasure by the people of Mime
sofa, and more particularly by those of
st. Paul. Mr.. Gilbert had designed our
new capitol, and the work had progressed
far enough to satisfy even the least we'll
informed Of the worthiness of the selec-
ton made in favor of Mr. Gilbert's work.
The pleasure thus felt was short-I1ved
For time 1t was believed that the action
of the commission would be overcome and
Mr. Gilbert finally left out.
How did that conviction come to pre-
vail? In very simple manner Mr.
Thomas G. Platt, the Republican boss of
New York, announced mis- determination
to defeat the acceptance Of Mr. GiIbert's-
plans. All well informed persons at once
said that that settled Mr.. Gilbert's
chances. Plat is persona grata in
Washington official circles In a very pro-
nounced degree. All he has ever asked
from our good Christian president he has
obtained, doubtless in great measure
through the cooperation of his political
chum, Mr.. Hanna, of Ohio. There was
no reason to believe that his interven-
ton against a frank outsider like Gil
bert would have any result save one.
1t happened, however, that the uiti-
mate decision rested not with Mr.
Platt's friend, Mckinley, nor yet with
McKinley's principal, Hanna. 1t did rest
with Secretary Gage, Of the treasury, and
that gentleman very promptly decided
that the plans of Mr.. Gilbert were to
prevail, and Mr.. Gilbert will accordingly
take control Of the architectural work of
| the new New York custom house.
| Now, why did Mr.. Plat interfere? 1t
| was not because Of Cass Gilbert's politics,
| nor Of his personality. 1t was because
| there was nothing for Plat or his
| machine in the business of the construc-
| ton of that custom house If Gilberts
| plans were not rejected. It was with
| Plat mere cold matter Of business and
| the spoiIs. He proposed that the job Of
| building the custom house should be
worked for every dollar there was in it

George Wilconsen, living at $40 Cedar
street, awoke about o'clock yesterday
morning and lay in bed, listening to
stealthy footsteps in his room. In the
darkness he thought he discovered a
form near the bureau. and called cut to
learn If 1t was his roommate. Instantly
the form vanished out the door, and
there was a sound of some one hurrying
down stairs and out of the house. Then
Mr.. Wilconsen got up and investigated.
He discovered that 'prowler" had WIS.,
tied his room, and that he was out S.,
which sum was taken from his trousers

A CEMETERY SITE.

So far as it can be ascertained by a
general inquiry, there appears to be
strong opposition to the plan of the
government for the conversion of the
anterior part of Punch Bowl into a
cemetery Whether this opposition
represents the second and best thought
of those who take some interest in
the subject cannot be stated definitely
at present.
The feeling exists, and is growing,
that Punch Bowl should become the
most attractive breathing spot in or
near this city It's position is superb
The more it is studied. the more one
becomes thankful for the rare fortune
OF having such an admirable place OF
general resort, which can be made so
cheaply accessible to all.
1t is urged by those who favor the
project of establishing the cemetery in
the Bowl, that this use of it would
not interfere with the use of the rim
of the crater for other public uses;
that even pleasure resorts may be
erected on the rim, and the proximity
of the grave yard would not interfere
with the pleasures furnished by such
resorts. And, to the objection urged
that there would be one or more buri-
ais every day in the year, and those
using the driveway to the summit for

AN UNFORTUNATE EVENT.

The conversion of many coffee
ranches in Olaa, into a sugar planta-
ton, is very unfortunate and dis
couraging event, so far as the creation
of diversified industries goes. The
coffee men, no doubt, are justified IN
making the change, owing TO the bad
condition Of the plants, and the hope
less prospect. \ large number OF per-
sons have risked much money and Ia
Dor in the enterprise, and the gloomy
outlook surely is a cause of general
regret.
1t was said in the early stages Of
coffee cultivation in that district, that
the scheme would not succeed, but no
one with experience in coffee cultlva-
fion discouraged it. The question of
excessive moisture was an open one.
Whether or not, with the heavy rain
fall in that district, the berry would
be at the best, or the crop would be
rank one, could only be settled by eX-
Derience The case of Olaa indicates
the great value of experimental sta
D. ~
much personal distress and loss would
have been avoided if a station, con-
Quoted in the interests of the people,
had settled the points involved in this
new business. AS it is, a hundred men
have spent time and money in finding
out what one man should have found
out.
The cultivation of coffee will never
theless be a living crop in this
country As means of diver
most important matter. No geo
graphical position in the Pacific will
keep us prosperous as people, if we
continue to stake all in sugar. This
is a commercial maxim. OF course men
rotten with sugar dividends take no
interest in the matter, and selfishly
propose to let posterity fight its
own battles. But those who read of
the dangers of single industry; those
who read Of the sad disasters that
gar colonies of Great Britain, because
of the curse of single industry will
see in the failure Of the Olaa expert
ments a serious setback to the real, |
though not apparent prosperity of the
Islands.
This is the moment for pressing the
most careful investigation into the
condition of the coffee industry in
other parts of the Islands. While the
craze over the sugar industry is run
ming it's course, there should be per-
sistent examination made Of the COT
fee outlook. There is a question of our
social condition at stake.
If the government had vital energy
it would push this examination while
the people are closing their eyes to
the situation.
The naturalists speak of the lowest
orders OF creation as animals with a
single straight gut. A community
with single industry belongs to the
which have only one straight COM
mercial gut.
The government may reply: 1T is
the duty of government to administer
laws and not to lead the people
Perhaps the sentiment is true. Ii
it is, and the community takes no in
terest in the question of diversified
industries, the least we can do is to
stop blabbing about our intelligence,
and repeat the words of the wrecker
on the New Jersey Coast: when it
comes to Iooting a wrecked ship, [
don't want no preacher around tellin'
me about my duties. Business must
be looked after"
1t will be a sad day for us when We
must finally give UP hope for the small
farmer.

The conversion of Punch Bowl into
a cemetery will, if the experience Of
other places is considered, prevent the
general use OF the place for pleasure
resorts unless the Executive proposes
to introduce into these Islands a new
population like the Irish and the Dan
ish, who combine pleasure and pain.
The enforcing of the wake" by law
or custom in suitable places on the
rim Of the crater, may illustrate the
| idea of a melancholy pleasure" ap-
propriate to the place. But it requires
a period of education to make it ac-
ceptable. The people of Denmark are
in the habit OF closing funeral services
| in the rural districts with a dance and
| supper, but the Anglo-Saxons are not
prepared to adopt the practice. This
race, in its respect for the dead, does
not favor the idea of placing grave
yards and pleasure resorts side by
side. The idea may be wrong, but it
exists. If the cemetery is placed in the
Bowl, it will naturally give character
TO the entire locality
One who is familiar with the his
tory of cemeteries, even in new
country, like that of the eastern States,
knows that even now, only a few
years after the establishment of eX-
tensive private cemeteries near the
cities, conducted for profit only, seri-
Gus questions arise as to the wisdom
The ignorance of the masses regarding
the sanitary evils connected with such
cemeteries, is slowly giving way to the
painful knowledge that the living
have not regarded the rights of the
living, and have sacrificed many lives
in an unrefiecting respect for the
dead.
The selection Of Punch Bowl as
site for a cemetery, is no doubt, the
easiest way of disposing of the mat
tcI- buL Ill du HIipOIldIFJ udILeI vi
this kind, the best place should be
adopted, even if it involves much trou-
BILE and labor.
A cemetery at a distance should be
selected. Railroad connection should
be made with it so that the cost of a
funeral should be a burden on no one,
as it is provided for in other places.
If this port is really to become an
important spot in the commerce of the
Pacific, there must be a large increase
in the population. The limits of burial
places will be reached quickly within
the limited space of Punch Bowl, if
burials there are made compulsory.
Racial questions will arise, which will
involve difficulty. Aside from racial
questions there will be sectarian ques-
tons Only abundance of space will
avoid them.
If the sentiment of the people is not
in favor of this site, there WILL within
a few years, be movement for clos
ing any cemetery that may be erected
there. The present is the time for wise
ly considering the matter.

of the way, the horse, vehicle and all
