San Francisco, Mayor Phelan exercises
responsibilities OF the most definite

behooves us all, therefore, to go into
the study OF modern municipal char

to reach seasoned judgment when the

question OF an autocratic Mayor in the

JAPANESE AGENT HERE.
Comes to Look Into the Fire Losses
OF His Countrymen.

f. Hirai secretary of the Trade Blu
reau of the Foreign Department OF the
japanese Government, has been here
nearly month, investigating the losses
sustained by Japanese by the sanitary
fires. He has been specially sent by
his government and will render 4 full
report to it of the results of his in
quirles. Hirai was for two years
eleye consul to Hawaii when Shlma-
mura was japanese diplomatic and
consular representative.
Hirai's health has been bad since his
arrival here and he has been most OF
the time in the Queens Hospital. He
will return TO Japan on the America
Maru, due here tomorrow. Yesterday
he said TINT his mission was merely to
note the facts and write them ont for
the Japanese governments informa-
ton. He had nothing to do with the
settlement of claims. He says that
there Is general feeling in Japan
that the Japanese are Disseminated
against here and not fairly treated.

The offer of the Bishop Estate TO do
nate land for the extension of Pauahi
street to Fort saves legal proceedings
and makes the improvement reason
ably certain. Not the least gratifying
thing about the pledge of gift is the
evidence it affords that the Bishop Els
tate means to do its part in lettering
the appearance and sanitation of the
city. If it keeps on in this way and
makes the best use of it's opportuni-
ties the Estate will not lack for public
appreciation and goodwill.

THE PORTO RICO VOTE.

The Porto Rico tariff bill has pass
ed the House by small majority and
has yet to run the gauntlet of a vote in
the Senate. If ii becomes a law it will,
by automatic process, establish Porto
Rico as colony. Organized as Ter
ritory, Porto Rico could not be dis
eliminated against in the United States
tariff or permitted to have tariff of
its own. The Constitution on that point
is clear. But colonially established
Porto Rico could go along under the
same fiscal and other relations with
the United States that Jamaica bears
towards Great Britain.
The relation which the enactment of
thu Porto Rico tariff bill would have
to the future of Hawaii depends on
the fate of the Cullom bill If that
N asure becomes a law, Hawaii will
have the same tariff rights that are en-
joyed by Arizona and New Mexico.
That is to say our imports or exports
anu W hut 1hlNtu oNdAts NdhuOl
be taxed. On the other hand II the Gull
lon bin should fail, Hawaii would
probably fall into the colonial class
with Porto Rico. Guam, Tutuila and
the Philippines and possibly Alaska.
So organized our sugar would be made
10 pay duty on the Mainland and ouI
labor would be left TO our own method!
of regulation. Whatever gain nigh
accrue from the last-named privilege
would be more than counterbalancet
by the loss in the selling profits of thu
Island staple.
Happily the Cullom bill seems to b.
holding It's ground and, at last ac
counts, with favorable prospects foI
the future.

COOPER ON KAUAI.

The people of Kauai are indignant
that ii. +. Cooper should have been
permitted to leave here for that island
without undergoing the quarantine
which he and his fellow members of
the Board of Health impose upon other
people. II is n feeling, we are bound
to say, that many Honolulu citizens
share. So desirable is 1t that the
plague should not get Judgement among
the other islands, where Asiatics are
many and medical men few, that moth
ing but supreme necessity should lead
the Board Of Health to permit single
instance of personal inter-communica-
ton without quarantine restrictions
and safeguards. Furthermore it is not
for that body to set an example of dis
obedience to its own rules. Possibly
in the case of Mr.. Cooper, the supreme
necessity existed, in which event. no
doubC, he will come to the rescue of the
Board with public explanations. We
lave read that Mr.. Cooper, some days
before he left for Kauai on his mys-
FERROUS errand, tried to have the quar-
antine modified so as to confne only
laboring men within its limits while
giving what he described as the best
people" or the better class of people
freeuom of movement. If that rule
had been adopted Mr.. Cooper could not
now be justly criticised for going to
Kauai, but it was rejected, ana under
such circumstances the only excuse for
Mr.. Cooper is the supreme necessity we
have re-erred to. Did such necessity
exist? Was there any mandatory pub
lie need which required the immediate
presence of Mr.. Cooper on the Garden
island? People living there seem to
be incredulous on that point some 60
ing so far as to impute speculative or
political motives to the visit, Upon the
justice of this view we cannot presume
to pass but if it is not the proper one
surely Mr.. cooper owes the reputation
oil the Board of Health and the natural
sollcitude of the public an explanation.
The injurious theories raised ought to
be explained away If possible and Mr..
Cooper now has the floor, If he desires
it, for that purpose.

the groundwork for the project before

Humphreys denied the truth OF the

Il am not candidate for the chief

associate justiceship, of which there
VIII be three. Some days ago, George
Gear, a warm friend OF mine. without
my knowledge or consent, circulated a
petition among the members OF the bar,
asking the administration at Washing
ton to make me a justice of the

| ut was kind of Gear to do this and
shall certainly back up his efforts and

| shall make every endeayor to crafty
my friends. / want very much TO be
justice of the Supreme bench but
have not the exalted opinion OF myself
| that the grapevine in the Star might
| lead one to believe.
There are more deserving lawyers

ton. My choice is Judge Frear. Only
| a few minutes ago man told me that
Paul Neumann was ont for the posi-
| ton. A petition in his behalf Is In cir
culation, said my informant. / feel
sure that the general sentiment OF the
bar is for Judge Frear. For myself,
| | shall work vigorously for the minor
seat on the bench"
Humphreys assertions are proven
| by talk with his friends They say
that they will be satisfied If he Is Civ
en- an associate justiceshlp, and that
that is what they are seeking. Judge
Perry, of the Circuit Court, is also am
bilious to be Supreme Court Justice,
II rumor does not speak falsely. He,
too, has friends and they are planning
his campaign quietly but determinedly
Paul Neumann, speaking for him
self, expressed surprise at the energy
of those who would make him Chief
Justice.
Il have been indisposed for some
days" said Neumann, "and have no,
been noting much OF the current COS
sip. | am not candidate, but OF
course lawyer will take anything val
liable he can get.
Paul Neumann Is one of the best
known lawyers in the Hawaiian ISL
ands. He is as prominent in San Fran
cisco, where he was one Of the foun-
ders of the Bohemian Club and mighty
esteemed. He has always been lead
err in politics and at the bar. But his
genius for litigation and his political
sagacity, though great, are equalled by
his rare good sense, his generosity, ge-
NAL spirit and honesty of purpose ana
effort. That he will make strong con
testant for the honors his friends
would thrust on him, is a matter OF
course.

visit the den and people from the den
return the calls, II is not improbable
that new center Of Infection has been
Developed which Will soon call for The
remedy Of fire.
II must have long since occurred TO
the general public that there is immi-
1ent need OF special laws governing
The construction and location OF stables
n this city. As a plague center the
average Honolulu stable belongs to
the most serious type. For want of
concrete floors, drains to carry away
liquids and some proper and immediate
disposition of manure, and because of
attractions such places have for rats,
both brute and human, livery stables
and barns require a classification of
their own in the building regulations
Of Honolulu. without attempting to
go into all the details, we think 1t
would be practicable to Danish public
stables to the extreme outskirts of the
city and require them to maintain GER
tain standards of cleanliness. Owing
10 the telephone and the ease with
which stables may maintain Offices in
the heart of the town, no injury need
accrue to the business of liverymen by
compelling them to take their barns
and stock into the suburbs. In the
case of the Chinese stables, now in
quarantine, their location would have
been fairly suitable, save for the proX-
unity to the Jail; but with the average
livery stable the position Is quite diff
ferent.
1t is, Of course, a matter of the deep
est regret that another plague case has
cut the record of clean days, but a
study of the schematic chart published
IN these columns last week shows that |
he pestilence is really at a low ebb |
and may soon be expected to dlsap-
pear. The only thing to do is to con-
,inue the fight, remove possible centers
Of infection, eXtirpate plague spots,
keep the town clean and prevent the
erection of insanitary shacks.

MUNICIPAL GOYERNM ENT.

The science of government is a study
Of the ages but that of municipal gov
eminent is comparatively new. 1t is
only of late that the danger to the
whole body polite from the dry rot oil
great cities began to attract the eye OF
the political student. In the United
States municipal methods were not Sc
riously pondered until New York City
supplied an incentive in the Tweed
scandals; and then began a ferment OF
IDEAS which early took the concrete
form of the Brooklyn City Charter and
inally produced a large number of ex-
cellent laws for the government of cit
es of which the Charter of San Fran
cisco is perhaps the latest type.
1t Is a recognition of the fact that
he scandals of city administration
nave mainly come of divided RESPONSE
1ility that most of the reform charters
urn on the pivot of one-man power. 1t
vas found that city departments an
swerable in the main to mselves
md remotely to the grand jury, with
he Mayor restricted TO an advisory ca
pacity or given limited and overrul-
able right of veto, easily bred bad
government. When things went wrong
no one could be punished. Usually
there was ring which took a hand in
all schemes of plumber but in which
not a single member had so exceeded
The rest in wrong-doing that, when
exposure came, he could be segregated
and put in Jail; nor was 1t possible,
owing TO peculiarities in the charter, to
punish all together. The result was a
saturnalia of msrule in which one of
fender hid behind another and all
skulked behind criss-cross screen
made of the reddest of red tape.
Citizens who wanted reform and who
believed it possible soon hit upon the
eXpedient of oneman power. OF course
there was a tremendous cutlery from
The political beasts of prey. Every seal
awag in politics inveghed against
'aristocracy" and tyranny" in the
veriest cant of socialism. 1t was point
ed out that a Mayor with all the say
would be un-American-a graft from
Old World despotism and an offence to
representative government. For years
the argument prevailed, but as the
scandals of city government went
from bad to worse the people deter
mined to try the plan of concentrated
responsibility. Let us frame n char
ter" they said. that will give the May
or power to appoint and remove the
heads OF municipal departments. We
can then look to him for good govern

he will at least be unable to shift the
responsibility upon other shoulders
We can hold one man to account anC
compel him to do right or take the ris(

CAsTRo's NARROW ESCAPE.
An Attempt to XIII tire Venezuelan
President.

CARACAS, Venezuela, Feb. 2S.-Dur-
ing the carnival procession yesterday
a Venezuelan fired two shots at s,
Crlplano Castro without effect. Presi-
dent Castro was afterwards acclaimed
by the populace. The city is quiet.
General Crlpiano Castro became
President of Venezuela In October last
as n result OF successful revolution
against President Andrade, who fled
from the republic. But Castro was not
recognized as President by the United
States until November 20, 1898. He IL
about SO years old. Is well educated
and Is credited with being possessed
OF ample means. He has been a strong
supporter OF the Liberal party,
