ROBERTS THE MAN.

Lord Roberts showed good general
ship by waiting at a secure base until
ne was completely ready to take the

missariat. The trouble with mosr gen.
erals belonging to the service of conn
tries where the public and press sway
events Is that they are goaded by
thoughtless critics into doing things
at which their better judgment rebels.
Greeley's "On to Richmond" editorials
precipitated Bull Run. But for the
firmress of the War Department in re-
sistlng the yellow journals demand for
an "On to Havana" movement in the
first weeks of the Spanish war. we

for meeting brave foe that was en-
tirely ready.
Roberts, knowing his business, takes
his time. Taunts, jeers nor appeals dis
suade him from careful strategy. He

AGUINALDO GAINING GROUND.

The state of things in the Philippines
Is as bad as it can be without the actual
and permanent defeat of the Americans.
Talk about breaking the back Of the
revolution" has been rife ever since the
hrst months of General Otis military
adventuring, yet the main vertebrae of
the native government seems to be as
strong as ever. Aguinaldo vanishes
only to reappear in some unexpected
place at the head of strong force Fill
pinos, defeated in pitched battle. break
into guerrilla attachments and harass
the Americans on every hand. Occa-
sionally they capture and burn town
Manila itself is full of revolutionary in
trlgues, and Aguinaldo's recruiting SER
geants and tax-gatherers go to and fro
within earshot of General Otis senti-
nels.
The plain truth about the Filipinos is
that they have hit upon a method of
nghtlng which it is next to impossible
to meet in squadron and right form
OF war Great commanders have often
been baked by it. General Grant had
to set apart 10000 men to look out for
places which Colonel Mesby was likely

though she tried for over 800 years, was
never sure of keeping the peace for five
years at time in either Cuba or the
Philippines. She could do nothing with

British by the partisan rangers of

We have not believed from the start
that General Merritt, General Otis or
any other general could solve a military

Grant and host of lesser celebrities.

A SCHEME OF SUICIDE.

The folly of the wouid-be Hawaiian
leaders of the Tesla school passes
comprehension. We have seen great
deal of it in the last seven years, but
this proposal to hold aloof from AM
erican politics and wreak revenge on
the men who made Hawaii american
runs the whole gamut of stupidity and
reckles5ness.
Every day we hear the threat that
HaWaiians will hold together as indie
pendents, ranged on the color line,
and see to it that 'retribution" is dealt
out. We believe the last SPECIFIC
threat, touching retributive measures,
was made by the Independent, anenC
the sale of Royal furniture. 1t is the
boast of these people that they will
get even with the haole, though if a
single one of them knew the resources
of the haole, getting even" as they
call it, would be the last thing thought
of.
If Tesla were a leader worthy of the
simply vested with the suffrage as an
experiment and if the experiment
should not work out to the advantage
of Americans, the latter will promptly
put an end to it. Congress, which is
made up of Republicans and Demo-
Gratis and white people will not tolerate
a party which is made up of the pro-
fessed opponents of Republicans and
Democrats and white people. Suppose
the Republicans and Democrats of
Hawaii should unite and petition Con-
gress to restore the property quaiifica-
ton to the suffrage, where would the
native voter then be? If he wants to
save his ballot he will cultivate the
good will of the Republicans and DEM
ocrats by dividing up politically as
other Americans do. To stand out and
resist Americanism here is to try and
push back the ocean with a broom.
Fortunately some of the Hawaiian
Kepoikai, Bush and Kaulukou know
better and are urging the natives to
take their proper part in American
politics. They are leaders who can
lead-pilots who can get to a safe
harbor. AS for Tesla and his axe they
have an unfailing tendency to steer
their followers into the whirlpool and
on the reef. Tesla never yet brought
the Hawaiians to a safe mooring. He
and his friends encouraged the Queen
to political suicide and they lured
natives with false hopes for over seven
years. Every scheme they tried to
work proved abortive and yet they had
ten chances to succeed in some of them
where they will have one-tenth of one
chance to succeed in their separatist
movement Tesla is the Jonah of the
native party who ought to be thrown
off the Hawaiian ship to save it from
running On the first convenient rocks.

OF CURRENT INTEREST.
Photograph Frames OF White Line,

Photograph Frames OF White LIueu.
The newest frames for photographs
are white linen with a narrow border
of gilt or silver, or perhaps only cor
ners of the metal. The linen comes al
ready stamped to be embroidered in
white Or coiored floss. 1t is fitted in
side the frame just as a mat Would be,
and can be removed and cleansed when
soiled. Floral designs are most popu-
lar, although flags may be used when
a soldiers picture is to be framed, or
university emblems used for a college
mans picture.
Sometimes narrow white enameled
border is used instead of the silver or
gilt. 1t all depends upon whether you
want the effect to be dainty or gay.
Pretty colonial frames for old-fash-
Toned portraits may be made by cut
ting an oval or round opening in card
board of the desired size and covering
it with bits of antique silk or quaint
modern material. The effect may be
heigh .ened by adding lovers knots,
wreaths or similar decorative designs
in brass. These can be got at an up
holsterer's. Individual taste will die
tate their arrangement, although in
general it may be said that they look
best placed toward the corners or a
little above the center of the frame on
the upper side.

The Democracy is committed against
expansion and wants to have it turn
out badly. Whatever it can do to
prove that Hawaii, Porto Rico and the
Philippines were bad investments it
will assuredly do if the chance is given
to it. These islands could look for no
favors from a Democratic Congress and
interests of Hawaii at heart will not
fall in with Democratic enterprises.
The Republicans made Americanism
possible here and they are the ones to
defend it.

Progress In transportation.

In less than fifty years we shall have
liquid air engines that will drive
through distance at 200 miles an hour,
prophesies New York writer. This
will necessitate straight tracks. The
Pennsylvania railroad, for example,
between New York and Philadelphia
will be as straight as the alleged road
from st. Petersburg to Moscow which
the car surveyed on a piece of tracing
paper with foot rule and a pencil
mark. We shall travel from one city to
the other in less than half an hour.
We shall have an air trunk line from
the Atlantic TO the Pacific, which will
enable New Yorker to reach San
Francisco in fifteen hours. "Airships
will be as common fifty years hence
he continues, "aS stage coaches were
half century ago. They will be oper-
ated by trolley. Ships will be provided
with machinery that will receive mo-
mentum from electric stations along
the route say, $50 mics apart. There
will be no limit to speed. We shall go
to Chicago in two hours"

The bubonie plague went from
1t went from Hongkong but returned.
1t has reappeared in Osaka and may
be expected again in the nearby town
of Kobe. In Australia and on the
shores of the Red Sea the black death
is reaping dreadful harvest. Clearly
the price Of safety from this scourge in
places where it once had a foothold is
eternal vigilance. Here in Hawaii we
cannot afford to abate a single pre-
cautionary measure.

Has the Attorney-General been so
busy trying to get another office with
out letting the people Of Hawaii know
1t until too late to object, that he could
not find time to do his duty towards
the criminal class? Assuredly some

so many rascals were allowed to 20

the sailors who committed robbery
and were able to escape prosecution
by returning the money, a serious Of
fence was committed against the can
ons OF justice. 1t is lucky for the At

chance to do this sort of thing in Cali

was during a performance of "The
Rivals" in which his matchless por-
trayal of Bob Acres proceeded smooth
ly, until the scene is reached in which
Falkland, Captain Absolute and Bob
Acres have wordy alteration. At
this point the actor Playing Falkland
ranted violently, raised his voice to an
unnecessary pitch, and finally, in a
burst of anger, slammed door as he
made his exit. 1t is part of the "busi-
ness" for Captain Absolute to say at
this juncture, Poor Falkland" He did
so, and Mr.. Jefferson promptly replied:

waiting recently in the Winter Palace

planned disappearance of the imperial
pair. They had taken an aftel noon
