A subscriber asks us why the three
cottages on the lower side of the
extension of Kukui street were
burned? We must admit we do not
know, and hold the opinion that the
persons who ordered the firing can
give no good reason; unless it may
be that the cottages were in block
Is, and it was desired to make a
clean sweep from Kukui street to
the harbor from mere exuberance of
license. We may be wrong.

foes become friends. Here is Jap
an anxious to establish a military
school at Peking in order to teach
the Chinese how to shoot and be-
come real, live soldiers. When the
result is attained Russia will have a
tremendous power to fight against
should she be aggressive, but the
probabilities are that she, like our
o.,n dearly loved Stevens, will think
"the pear is ripe" before those Chi
nese soldiers are trained up to a
level with the Japanese.

That the Hawaiian Government
bill is not going through Congress
as "slick" as it's friends contemplated
is evidenced by the fact that Senator
Plate, of Connecticut, has given no.
tice of important amendments. One
taxes away our delegate to Con-
gress, and another continues the ex-
listing customs between the two
countries. All! Mr.. Dole, more haste,
less spread, and there's many a slip
'twixt the cup and the lip. You
hurried annexation too briskly.

From Jack McCandless' remarks
at the meeting to consider alley
ways in the fire swept district, it is
safe to say he owns no property there.
1t is equally safe to say that Messrs.
Colburn and Achi have property
there. The remarks made by the
property owners about new fire
limits were sound in demanding
that such limits must bear evenly
upon the whole city.

From recent Washington dis
patches it appears that the United
States intends, as soon as possible,
to transfer Chinese immigration
aatters from the Custom House De-
partment. This is sensible and pro-
per, for the existing system has
been a great detriment to Custom
House work. For instance, Coll. j.
P.Jackson collector of the port of San
Francisco, has been practically COM
PEELED to devote most of his time to
Chinese instead OF to his customs
duties. Hawaii has acted on the
proposed new plan both with Chi
nese and Japanese for many years.

The INDEPENDENT agrees with the
Bulletin that as regards the recon
struction of the Chinatown district
special commission is in order 1t
is better to make haste by going
slow than to rush b'indly at a five
barred gate and get cropper. We
are rather too prone in this city to
be too rapid in public affairs and
then to regretfully undo what has
been done at great expense. Take
Rowells walls along the Nuuanu
stream for example. They will have
to come down and that unsightly
drain turned into valuable stream.

Now that the occasion for licensed
incendiaries appears to be passing
we may look for increased activity
on the part Of the burners, whose
powers are waning. 1t will perhaps
be thought desirable to put the
torch to buildings to add to the
symetry of block, or for some
other idle purpose. Property own
ers may now thwart this work by
injunction proceedings drom our
Courts with great propriety.
