IGNORED PRECAUTIONS.

What has become of the proposed
garbage crenatory? And what is be-
ing done with the dangerous stuff it
was intended to burn at public ex
pense? Is the Government lapsing into
tire old mahope custom which. even af
ter tire sharp lessons of the cholera,
Permitted the town to get so insanitary
that WREN the bubonic plague came
ashore It found just the kind of filth it
reeded for it's seeds of devastation?
God forbid,
Ard yet the Government seems to
have grown unresporsive to needs that
were considered vital few short
months ago. When the plague was on,
TIE authorities agreed with the doctors
that safeguards against another at
tack should be provided without delay.
We were to have a garbage crematory,
filters for reservoirs standing bounty
on rats. Seven months have passed
since the outbreak of the plague: il
was April when the last case occurred;
yet we are no nearer a crematory. oil

we were on the first of May.

There are scores of instances which

MCKINLEY AND ROOSEVELT.

If the plans of the Republican Ter
ritorial Committee are carried out the
Mckinley and Roosevelt ratification
No effort has been spared to make the
program interesting to the people and
significant of the popular enthusiasm
for the Republican Presidential nom
inees. There will be parade. no doubt
some interesting reports from the re-
turning delegates and speaking by
several gentlemen who aspire to be
party leaders. The desire is to boom
Republicanism as Republicanism ought
to be boomed.
Nothing should keep members of the
ceremonies of the day and evening.
Whatever differences of opinion there
may be about the personnel of party
MANAGEMENT: whatever unpleasantness
may be felt over past occurrences or
over the present effort to snub the rep
resentative Republicans of Hawaii, the
fact remains that Mckinley and Roose-
Welt deserve unanimous ratification.
They are not the candidates of a fac
ton. but the accepted and honored
leaders in this campaign of every man
who believes III the principles for which
Lincoln died, ard for which Grant drew
his sword and for which Blaine and

peal in the swelling periods of patriotic
oratory. AS such candidates they rise

OF CURRENT INTEREST.
They Wanted a Chance 10 Guess.

In a Philadelphia drug store there is
conspicuous sign, which reads: DO
not talk to the clerk when he is putting
up prescriptions" This has been rem
dered necessary by the foquacity of the
foreign residents of the neighborhood.
The other day crowd surged into the
store. talking excitedly and with many
gestures. The clerk. fearing that some
mistake had been made in medicines,
and that his life was in danger. escap-
ed by the rear door and returned with
a policeman. The Italians were still
in possession, and appeared to be labor
ing under intense excitement. An in
terpreter finally discovered that a mis-
chievous boy had told the foreigners
that a large crystal of sulphur in the
window was a lump of bearing
quartz from Cape Nome, and that any
one, by paying 10 cents, could guess at
the weight of the crystal and he who
guessed right would win il. 1t took the
greater part of an hour to convince
the excited Italians of their error.

OPEN PEARL HARBoR.

The North Pacific ocean is about TO
acquire freight carriers and passenger
boats of tie largest class and IL is
doubtful that the future Atlantic trade
will call for bigger steamers than those
that will commonly ply between the
western coast Of the United States and
the foreign Pacific markets. The COM
ing boats of the spreckels line are TO
be large but not the largest: indeed
their ratings are small beside the ton
mage Of the Northern Pacific liners
vessels ttat will be more than four
times the size Of some favorite deep
sea steamers now afloat. Eventually
monsters OF the Northern Pacific type
will run between San Francisco and the
orient: perhaps between San Francisco
and the Colonies. Like their predeces-
sors they will want TO do business with
Honolulu-but how can they do Ii until
we ret better harbor facilities? The
small cove In the reef called a harbor
Il crowded now and a vessel Of the size
OF the Aigoa has trouble In getting in
and out Compared with a Northern
Pacific liner the Algoa would be a toy
ship. How then are we to handle the
bigger vessels when they come without
more room for them than this port pos
sesses?
IL the ancient harbor was restored
the great space now occupied by the
site of Chinatown but filed up ages ago
with silt from the Nuuanu stream
the problem might be solved: but such
an engineering feat we can hardly ex-
pect Congress 10 pay for. especially
when Pearl Harbor could be made ac-
cessibie for big ships through simple
dredging Of TIE bar at very moderate
cost. Plainly Pearl Harbor Is the key
to our commercial situation. We must
either get II open or prepare to see the
big steamers OF the future pass us by
The improvement of our natural port
has been most dIlatory in all that was
expected to follow official inquiries
and surveys. Part of the fault Is ouI
own. Hawaii has not pressed the mat
ter at Washington as 1t might hav,
done and the price of the shore land Of
Pearl Harbor was raised high at n tim,
when interior values were low. Doubt
less there was and still Is feeling tha'

JUDGE TOWNSHIPS DEcIsIoN

The decision of United States Judge
Townsend that the Constitution does
not necessarily follow the flag. is of so
much local interest that the essential
part of 1t is herewith reproduced:
The trainers Of the Constitution intend
ed that instrument not as Limitation
upon the freedom of the new sovereign
In actir < for the States N foreign ana RS;
not as a check 10 growth, hut as the or
ganic law or a nation that can live and
grow. To deny this power to govern ter
ritory at arms length would be to thwart
that intention to make the United Sta es
an unfCttered sovereign in foreign affairs.
For IL we wage war successfully We must
some time become. as many think we are
now, charged with territory which II
would be the greatest folly to incorpor-
ate at once into our Union, making our
laws its laws, It's citizens our citizens,
our taxes it's taxes, and which. on the
other hand. international considerations
and the sense of our responsibility to its
inhabitants may forbid to abandon.
The construction of the Constitution
which would limit our severe gn power
would force US into a dilemma between
violating our duty to other nations and
TO the people under our care on the one
hand and violating our duty to ourselves
on the other. That construction would ir
such case imperfl the honorable existence
of our republic. 1t could not have beer

stitution that we should be born a Grip

There has been found. then, no reason
either on principle or authority why thu
United states should not aCcep

mittirg Ia integral par
of the Union or making 1t beai
the burden Of the taxat on uniform

power is TO deny to IN $ nation an impor
tant attribute Of sovereignty. The inten
of the Corst tution is to make the Fed
eral Government fun sovereign will

The argument is generally accepted
by lawyers as a fair statement of the
Constitutional position and by politi-
clans az "a judicial affirmation of time

"siehts, He Didn't Want to See.

Some time since, while James Whit
comb Riley was visiting Southern
town, where he was booked to give a
reading, a committee called to take him
in a carriage over the city. In acknowl-
edgment of the compliment, he said:

James A. Burden, chief owner of the
big Burden Iron mills at Troy n. Y,
has for many years donated $1,000 to be

been yearly placed in the hands of the
foremen in each of the departments OF
the iron mills, who distribute tbs
