Distinctive CARDS In Porto Rico

When Lafayette came back to this
country after the Revolution" SAID
Major A. Z. Sharpe, former Judge ad-
vocare general of Porto Rico, in "a
Washington interview the other day,
'he inquired what had become of the
common people. He referred to the
passing OF distinctive dress for people
OF the professional class. These dress
distinctions, which used to be in the
coionies, prevail in Porto Rico. It is
possible to. distinguish lawyer, a
newspaper man, a doctor or a priest by
his daily garb. But even in Porto Rico

Hawaii is governed by a set of Ter
ritorial officers and the Legislature.
To add six or eight sets of county off,
GERS, two sets of municipal officers and
n dozen sets Of village officers, would be
to devote large sums which are needed
for public works to the salary roll
without getting any better government
than we now have. The city and coun-
ty of San Francisco use s., 600 per
year to pay salaries and wages. In the
little city of San Diego hard times fol-
lowing the boom compelled the author
tiles to screw expenses down to the last
notch, yet they could not get off for
less than $40 600 per month in salaries
and there were county expenses be-
sides. Nothing is clearer than that
county and municipal governments
would quadruple taxes here without
giving the people better public admin
istration. The only persons to benefit
by Il would be the professional Amer
leans" who want Offices and who take
boastful refuge in their nativity in the
same way and for the same reasons
that Or. Johnson's man took refuge in
his patriotism.

LEGAL FINANCES.

The financial strain having been
clearly explained in the commercial
column of this paper there is a visible
sense of relief in the business commu

and the stringency in Island finances
ceased to be a mystery when il came to
be analysed i'm cold type. The fact
simply is that we have gone ahead a bit
fast with development but 1T is also
true that we have a $25,O00,000 sugar
crop the returns from which, when
they are fully in. will set the Islands
on their financial feet again. Between
now and January LIST, 100000 should
arrive as revenue from sugar ship

the sale of stock. In the next thirty
days 100000 will be released from the

Whatever the present may be the i'm

Colonel wisweIrs Relic Cane.

During and following the recent Re
publican convention at Philadelphia
there were many exchanges of testi
monials to be retained as relics of the
occasion. One of the most interesting
mementos is cane which was present
ed to Colonel Wiswell, who was SER
eant-at-arms of the convention. The
cane is polished apple stick with a
white bone head, made and presented
by Edward F. Showers, of West Phil
adelphia, who was one of the door
keepers of the convention. The head Is
fashioned from human bone dug from
the battlefield of Gettysburg by Mr.
Showers, and is undoubtedly portion
of the remains of one of the heroes of

A Defiant Priest.

There is now a clergyman of the
Church of England who has married his
deceased wife's sister, in spite of all the
prelates in the house of lords who vote
consistently against any recognition of
the practice. The name of this daring
innovator is Rev. Mr.. George Poynder
and he is priest of the diocese of Mel
bourne. His bishop, DIR. Goe, formerly
rector of St. Georges, Bloomsbury has
suspended him for twelve months; but
this apparently is only formal trib-
ute to the conventional church feel
ing on the subject, as there is an under
standing that he will receive a new APP
pointment in the diocese at the expira-
ton of his extended honeymoon.

The Navy does not need the city's
waterfront park. The place is too
much exposed for naval purposes and
within a year or two Congress may
open Pearl Harbor. The city park was
taken over by the Navy Department
because it bordered deep water and
seemed to be lying around loose. We
doubt that it would have been so seq
regated if the Government had known
what the public wanted it for and what
they had determined. under the author
ity of a legislative enactment, to do
with it.
Unless the park is recovered and de-
voted to the use originally named,
the citizens of Honolulu will have no
way to reach the seashore within city
limits save by going to some hotel
preserve, traversing private property
or making use of the shadeless beach
road which skirts the shadows of the
broad reef. The marine park Is handy
for everyone; it Is exceptionally we'll
placed for sea and mountain views and
IL laid out with lawn and trees
would become the favorite recreation
ground Of the people.
A petition to the President is in or
der. So good a cause as the recovery
of our seaside park deserves united
public action. Why would it not be
well for the Chamber of Commerce to
pass resolution and follow it up with
a memorial. which the citizens would
generally sign? That might bring
things to a focus at Washington in
short order.

Now His Book Sells Well.

Major General Baden-PowelPs book
written in 1896 and entitled The Down
fall of Prempeh" has been reprinted in
England and is having a great sale for
obvious reasons. One sentence from il
admirably expresses the whole philos-
ophy of the hero of Mafeking and it
expresses it in very characteristic Ian
guage: "A smile and stick will carry
you through any difficulty in the world

THE LEPRosY QUESTION.

The segregation of lepers Is carried
on i'm n way that suggests the topsy-
turvydom Of n Gilbert q Sullivan OPP
era. People who go to the Settlement
: are told to wear gloves and TO avoid
psing glasses and plates from which
be lepers eat-and yet they are per-
United to clasp lepers in their arms and
kiss them. Mail from Molokal is fumi-
gated on its arrival here yet dogs born
and brought up among the Iepers are
taken from the Settlement and used
as pets. Money arriving from Kalau-
papa and the other village is now fumi-
gated but natives returning from there
who have held decaying relatives in
their arms for hours are not even made
to take a bath. They go home as they
are to carry the germs of the most
dreadful disease known to history
among their fellows.
The strangest thing is that Hawaii
has come to regard this appalling abuse
as a matter of course. We all get ex-
cited when the cholera appears and
fight II inch by inch. on this account
its victims on these Islands number less
than one hundred; so do the victims of
the bubonic plague. First and last, 5000
people have been taken to the Settle
ment on Molokai. Were cholera to
show one case tomorrow, quarantine
lines would be drawn. the city would
be cleaned up again and there would
be a house toulouse inspection. Yet
when over one hundred natives return
here from a days personal contact
with the lepers, contact that had all
the intimacy of the family reunion. we
do nothing TO safeguard ourselves and
them from the white plague. The ma
tives resume their ordinary occupa-
tions. They drive our hacks, make our
leis or poi. gather fruit for us, perhaps
deliver our meat or groceries; and their
children go with ours to the public
schools. The reason for IL all lies part
ly in precedent and partly in pity. But
isn't II time Hawaii made new prece-
dents and gave the uninfected popula-
ton now exposed to an incurable and
communicable disease some of that
pity which wastes itself upon the un-
buried dead?
There should be a new program for
the treatment of Iepers. Segregation
should be made TO segregate; the
friends of the smitten should take leave
of them when they go to Molokai as
they would take leave Of the dead, save
that there should be no personal con-
tact. a wall should be raised between
the clean and the unclean. Those with
whom the lepers were living when the
disease appeared should be segregated
for n period of years; direct CORES
pondence with the village of the living
corpses should be interdicted. We dc
not know that such drastic though nec-
essary reforms can be had through the
Legislature, but IL not we are sure OF
an appeal TO Congress.

" The fact that George Manson drew a
large balance from the bank before he
disaprearad would tend to show that
