WILL WORK FOR GOOD.

The fixing of an arbitrary rate for
sewer connections by the Superin-
tendeut of Public Works without any
authority OF law is splendid example
OF the system of centralized govern
ment in Hawaii Under the circun-
stances there seemed nothing else Tor
MI McCandless to 90 and The Repub-
lican does not see what other means
under the existing circumstances
could have been adopted. but that IN
no wise paliates the evils OF such
methods. II fifty illustrates the need
for municipal government and the
wiping out of a system that places N
one mans hands such autocratic pow
er as the Superintendent has been
compelled to assume Mr.. McCand-
less himself is no doubt not anxious to
assume such power but the sewers,
now that they are completed must DC
cared for and if no appropriation is
available then some other means must
be found until the legislature meets.
Undoubtedly the action of the Super
intendent OF Public Works will do
much to focus public opinion in
favor of municipal government. As
he we'll said in his interview in The
Republican of yesterday morning
why should Hilo help to pay for the
maintenance OF sewers in Honolulu ,"
Just so: and why should the other
Islands of the group help TO pay for
paving the streets of this city. Give
them local government and give Homo
lulu municipal government and wipe
out the present expensive system of
centralized government With coun-
ties and municipalities established the
total cost of maintaining the Terri
torial government of Hawaii ought to
not to exceed 100000 per year. Quite
a difference between that sum and the
present cost of s2,OO0000 a year

In emulation of the example set by

filed in the supreme court by Charles
II. Aldrich and Lawrence Harmon in
the case involving the status of the
Philippines. 1t is a strong legal pre-

editor on the beach. who IS hired to

liver is refusing to perform its proper
functions. when a uniform system of
house numbering was taken up by The
Republican last June and pushed
through TO success the Advertiser op-
posed such an innovation as being I'M
necessary. So il was with sidewalks
when The Republican was urging
them for the benefit and improvement
Of the city. The Advertiser also favor

people of the Territory.
Now in its nightmare. or rather the

rom the Washington Star.
Some weeks ago The Star noted the
fact that an agitation had been begun
at Honolulu to secure the separation
of the sick and the well at the ieper
COLONY of Molokai when the periodical
visitation occurs. Copies of the Homo
lulu newspapers just received indicate
that this reform has been in fact ae-
complished and that the danger OF
contagion occurring when the friends
of the lepers are allowed to visit them
mas been greatly reduced A double
line of fence two feet apart. with a
wire screen at the top, has been erect
ed. This permits the lepers and thoi~
friends to see and talk with each oti-
er. but does not allow personal con
tact, from which spread of the dis
ease is feared. 1t is now hoped that
this device will permit a continu-7"e
of the custom of annual visits 70 Mo
lokai, for thereby the native horror
of isolation will be somewhat -rndi-
fed. With the leper colony an estab-
lished institution. and improved gov
ernmental facilities for health inspec-
ton provided throughout the island. It
may be possible under a vigorous ad-
ministration to segregate all case of
leprosy and thus confine it's ravages
perhaps to a single generation. 1t is
greatly to be desired that this terrible
scourge should be checked Hawaii is
too beautiful and otherwise healthful
a spot to be infected with such n
plague

The new National Guard company
held a meeting last night at the ar

infantry as major; the first lieutenant
is William c. Webb, who also served
as captain of company A when it was

tenant is Nelson Margetts, and it isn't
doubted that he won't be everywhere
necessary.

character, fair in his dealings with his
fellow men; a man of strong cOnvic-
tons, cCEra geous and independent in
spirit; a devoted father and always
