SIGNS OF PROGRESS.

The Tramways people are TO be con-
graduated on an unlooked-for burst OF
enterprise. Conscious that they have
not done the right thing by Honolulu
in the past and proud of the fine city
they serve, these progressive spirits
have laid in a new stock OF mule
flesh. That they have bought it at a
sale OF condemned animals at the army
camp is fact of special value. Scien-
lists now agree that a little ringbone
and SPAWN Is good for a mule just as
fieas, in the philosophy of David Har-
um. are good for dog. "a reasonable
number of fieas," says the bonneville
philosopher, do dog no harm. seem
that they keep him from broodin' on
the fact that he is a dog" 1t is the
same way with a mule. Heaves, sore
back, cracked hoof and the like keep
him from brooding over the fact that
ne Is mule and in the local case may
help him to forget that he is a mule
In the employ OF the Tramways Com
pany. Hence he is a better mule. So
on the whole. the purchase of con-
demned animals for street car work is
piece of excellent judgment, espe-
cially In view of the great amount OF
immunity from the brooding habit
which these particular ones enjoy. We
can imagine that two of the new chat
tells hitched to one of Mr.. Pains vener-
able arks, would not suspect them
selves to be mules or anything else rec
ognizable in natural history from
one days end to another. 1t is an ad-
vantage to get such satisfactory mo-
tive power for our local transit sys-
tenn and Manager Pain deserves a vote
OF thanks. 1t is presumed that the
pubic will have a chance to ride be-
hind his interesting invalids within a
week.

The sea captain who writes that
there Is an advantage In having wa
terfront shipping masters states an OBJ
vious truth. But he might have added
that they should be legitimate ship
ping masters. otherwise they may be-
come a curse to the seaman's trade.
The crimp is, in his way, as much OF
an enemy OF the sailor as shark. 1t
needs but a glance at the report OF
the Portland Chamber OF Commerce
on the abuses which the boarding
house runners. headed by James Turk,
inflicted on sailors at that place. to
convince the local public that the clos

occurrence of such things on our own

The cinematograph Is developing
and Is sure TO become a more and more
useful factor in public education. No
entertainments given in Mainland cit
les last year were more delightful than
the moving Photographic pictures of
the Cuban invasion, the Philippine bat
ties and Of Royal and Papal functions.
The early trouble with the pictures,
that OF trembling or shaking motion
in the objects shown, has now been OBJ
Waited. At the same time the photog-
raphers are going farther afeld. The
Borchgrevink expedition which has
lately returned from the Antarctic con-
tinent, reporting the discovery OF the
magnetic pole, carried a cinemato-
graph and will soon give the public a
view OF scenery and life In that hith-
erto unknown region. The busy pic
ture-makers are also at the front in
the South African war and in a few
months comfortable audiences in Eu-
rope, Asia, Africa and America will
have the stirring incidents of Anglo
Boer battles noiselessly enacted before
their eyes.

The Subcommittee of the Senate,
which went to Cuba to investigate. de-
scribes the political feeling OF the peo-
pie In the following paragraph:
1t may be said of all classes in Cuba
that they are looking to the establish
ment of an independent government. a
cuban republic. A few are impatient
and wish for immediate and complete
independence. Others are less impa-
tent, believing that sufficient time
should be taken to avoid mistakes and
10 set up the new government upon
euch a nrm basis as to insure its sue
cess and permanence. AL are looking
forward to the municipal elections
that are to take place in the latter mart
OF May, regarding such elections as the
first step toward the establishment of
the new government. Much will de-
pend upon the result of these elections.
IL they take place without disorder
and good officials are elected. that will
go far to prove the capacity OF the peo-
pie for seif-government, and steps can
be taken without great delay for fur
Their progress in that direction. The
problem is complicated by the fact
that self-government is an untried ex-
pertinent by a people who have had
little opportunity to study it's princi-
pies or its details, it's necessities or its
responsibilities. Many of the more
conservative citizens and business
men, unfortunately, show too much
disposition to hold aloof.
The municipal experiment will be
watched with the greater interest be-
cause 1t Is proposed to try 1t very soon
in the Philippines.

The Marshal makes a lame defence
of the Lewis appointment. He says
in an evening paper that, owing TO the
nature of Mr.. Lewis business he is
able to find sailors whom the regular
police officers search for without sue
cess. We did not suppose that Mar
shall Browns department was so badly
manned as that II it Is true that the
uniformed force can be easily baffied
in this small seaport by a runaway tar,
the obvious lesson Is not TO turn the
business OF making arrests over TO the
runner for a sailors boarding house,
but to get a better police force.

Honolulu will come into line with
other progressive cities in the mat
ter of a crematory. The one TO be
built here will contain all the modern
appliances for the reduction of the dis
carded human body TO its component
gases In a city where graveyards are
a menace to the living II is most de-
sirable that incarceration should super
sede interment. Honolulu Is such a
place OF course Incarceration can
progress but slowly here at first, but
the presence Of the crematory and the
kind OF work 1t will do. may be trust
ed to educate the public and in time
measurably relieve the pressure on the
cemeteries.

Despite the warning note sounded
by Commissioner General Peck. the
hawaiian exhibit is to be sent to
Paris. We do not doubt that the move
Is wise. for once the goods are on the
ground the temptation to show them
will be strong both with Mr.. Peck and
the French government. The chances
OF getting through all right will of
course be increased by the present san
itary status of this port.
