BENJAMIN Franklin. who died N
1890. left $4,000 each to the cities of
Boston and Philadelphia. to be kent
invested for n period Of one hundred
years. and the entire accumulation de
voted st the end of a century to GER
tain public projects. How great dit
ference there can be in financial msn.
agement is shown by the fact that ths
Boston fund now amounts to sssS.sS0
and that OF Philadelphia to but little
over 100000. Boston has decided to
spend the money for branch OF the
public library. TO be called the Frank
lin institute. especially used for classes
and lectures in history and science
and for instruction in applied arts and
mechanics. Philadelphia win turn
over its Franklin fund TO the park
commission for an art gallery.

American Coal and coaIins Stations

American Coal and Coaiing Stations.
From the New York Herald.
The navy department has found it
cheaper to ship coal to our foreign sta
lions than to buy it abroad. The aver
age price paid here was S5.SS per ton.
while that demanded abroad was
SS.53 per ton. AS the total amount
contracted for exceeded two hundred
and twenty-five thousand tons, this diff
ference of cost, freight and other
charges included, represents very
important saving. AS the quality III
the home coal is much superior to the
general run offered abroad, an addi-
tional gain must be set down.
This question of coal supply is so i'm
portant to the sea powers that enor-
nous quantities are being stored IN
fortified ports and outlying posses
sions France is notably active in this
effort to be self-sustaining in war. and
part of the duty entrusted to her wal
ships is to test and report upon the
possible markets that may be utilized
IN peace. At this moment the Cecille
and the Suchet have taken on board
an unusual quantity of American coal
and if the results are satisfactory
large orders may be confidently ex
pected in this country.
Our government has established
coal depots in Hawaii, Samoa, Luzon
Yokohama. Porto Rico and Pichilinque
in Mexico. and contracts have beer
made to keep these well stocked. In
his present report the chief of the bu
reau of equipment has recommended
the construction of barges with car
ryIng capacity of ten thousand tons
to be used in connection with these
depots. and the board of naval design
has taken up seriously the subject o

Once upon a time there vas Gov

this Territorial Governor and sent him
an invitation by telegraph TO journey
on TO Washington at Government ex-
nense. And 10 and behold when this
Territorial Governor arrived at Wash

Arriving at the Office of the Secre

the audience was granted the Secre

finding their way to the Islands and

Should Remodel LIQUOR Laws

from the Maui News
The legislature should entirely re
model the liquor law. leaving it to the
different localities to regulate the
liuuor traffic in their midst 1t cannot
be claimed that the liquor law as It
now exists prevents the use or sale u
liquor, and about the only thing to oe
claimed for il is that il held the Ieglt-
inized sale Of liquor in a few hands

legislation is impotent 10 check the
traffic in liquor, consequently II should
be left to each community to properly
regulate its sale.
