in design, construction, efficiency and
for remarkable development and adap-

In either the family or the factory.
Only One Grand Prize for sewing
machines was awarded at Paris, and
this distinction of absolutely superior
merit confirms the previous action of
the International Jury at the Worlds
Columbian Exposition, in Chicago.

distinct awards. being more than were
received by all other kinds of sewing

KILL THE RATS.

Seeing how rats spread the plague
and how many OF them are probably
sick with it, there is need of a special
crusade against the rodents in every
part of the city. 1t is possible that the
plague will stay in Honolulu as long
as a single rat lives and this ire
spective of what may be done in the
way of sanitation. Every rat killed
diminishes the danger of infection just
that much. Would it not be wise for
the Board of Health to post bills in
English, Portuguese, Hawaiian, Chi
nese and Japanese offering substantial
bounties for rats dead or alive and to
officially request the inhabitants to
take pains to destroy all such YER
min on their premises? BY measures
like these the Board may do more to
overcome the black death than is pos
sible with either fire or serum.

town in about five days for $50.
In time we shall get down to some
thing approximating the Atlantic
rates. Such a ship as the White Star
Oceanic, running between Yokohama
or Manila and San Francisco could
travel from Honolulu to the Pacific
Coast metropolis in less than three
days and a half Guarantee business
enough-and the policy of expansion
is already doing that-and the ocean
flyers must come and with them the
chance to travel and do business all
over these seas at a reasonable price.
1t was this that the vigilant eye of
William H. Seward foresaw so many
years ago. The realization of his
prophecies began when Japan smashed
the prestige of China and opened up
that vast, ancient, and yet virgin land
to the exploitation of the world. 1t
continued through the minor essays of
expansion among Pacific islands; it
will find its crown, so far as America
is concerned, in the possession of the
Philippines. And in the midst of all
the hurry of traffic Hawaii will stand
forever as the toll-gatherer at the
crossroads.

OUR COMING STEAMSHIPS.

The developments in commercial
and shipbuilding centers during the
past few months point to the appear
ance, on the Pacific ocean, in the pres
ent decade, of steamships, carrying the
American flag, which will compare fa-
vOrably in tonnage, speed and passen-
ger accommodation with all but few
of the ocean greyhounds of the Trans
Atlantic routes. We are not sure that
there will be- in the final analysis, any
superior quality in the best Atlantic
steamers. Owing to difficulties of har-
Dor depths and dockage, they have
probably reached the limit of size. and
unless some improvement of a radical
nature comes in engines and boilers,
of speed, as WELL With the Pacific
ocean vessels the tendency is one of
continuous Improvement and if this
goes on in the present ratio ii will not
be long before there will be little
choice between the great steamships
plying between the United States and
Europe and those which traverse the
passenger and freight routes between
the United States and Asia.
The Spreckels are not the only ones
who are building a fleet of swift levi
athans for these waters. James Hill
of the Great Northern is going to put
on line from Tacoma which will con-
tain steamships of greater tonnage
and higher speed than the 6,000-ton,
17-knot boats OF the Oceanic line.
There is even hint abroad that two
of his ships will be superior to the
White Star queen, but It Is not alto
gether credible. Still, we are bound
to say that the largest steamers can
be used to advantage here as soon as
the cotton trade reaches anything near
its maximum development.
The Russians also promise some
thing in the way of big ocean carriers.
1t is their ambition to compete, by
means of the Siberian railroad, a fast
steamship service on the Pacific and
Atlantic and an arrangement with
some American transcontinental line
for the trade now controlled by the
Canadian Pacific. Unless war inter
venes to break up existing conditions
in North China, Japan and Siberia, the
Russian greyhounds should be racing
between the two hemispheres before
1904.
AS result of these changes Hawai-
is bound to get into much closer ant
cheaper communication with the Main
land. 1t is rather absurd to spend {
week, or nearly that, between her,
and San Francisco and pay SIS for very
ordinary service, when one may trav
erse the three thousand miles be
tween New York and Queen:

LABOR FROM PUERTO RICO.

The suggestion made by Governor
General Davis of Puerto Rico that labor
might be had for Hawaii from that
Island is worth taking up providing
only that the labor is worth the having
Upon the latter point we entertain
serious doubts. By common descrip-
ton the Latin-American is the LATEST
OF mortals except when he is engaged
upon politics and revolutions. In the
neld he dawdles the hours away and
takes prolonged siesta in the heat of
the day. Under a penal contract he
might work half as we'll as the IAN
anese or the Southern negro. but as a
Tree laborer we imagine that he would
prove most unsatisfactory to Hawaiian
planters. In that event we should have
one more obnoxious race problem to
deal with. both sociologically and noli-
tically.
The inimitable Mr.. Dooley hit off the
characteristics of the Puerto Rican
laborer in dissertation on the quail
tiles of that kindred race, the Cuban.
TIL trouble u.s." said the philosopher
of Archey Road, 9Th Cubians don't I'M

Now, in Cuba, whin tn mobs turn out,
they carry a banner with the wurruds,
Give US nawthin' to do, or we perish
| Whln a Cuban comes home at night
with happy smile on his face he don't

says, Thank Gawd, I've been fired.
An tn childher go out an they say,

where wanst they was sorrow an

"Ye can't make people here undher-

understand that freedom means tn
same thing as pinitinchry sintince.
When We thry to get him to wurruk
he'll say, Why shud 1? haven't COM
mitted amy crime"
Such laborers as these-and Mr.
Dooley does not greatly exaggerate the
failings of the Cuban and Puerto Rican
peons--would not seem to fill the Ha-
waiian bill; though we can easily mag
inc that, as the poems number over
three-quarters of a million in the little
island of Puerto Rico, Governor Gen
eral Davis would be more than happy
to have any number of them taken of
his hands.
