The school board has adopted the
time of the town clock on the Odd
Fellows building for official guidance.
AS it varies at times several minutes
from the courthouse clock, the ques-
ton arises which is right, or nearest
right: 1t is pity that one or the
other has not been connected with
the meridian time which is transmit.
ted daily by wire all over the country.
The cost would be very small COM

may be somewhat provincial in other
respects.
A letter from Mrs. Gimblet, dated
at Los Angeles, Cal, on the Sth, states
that the warm tropical climate of
that State, or the Southern part of it
rather, seems to possess the elixir for
a steady improvement in her hus-
bands health. The temperature, she
writes, is between rs and 80 degrees at
this season of the year, and very dry
atmosphere prevails, which seems to
lmpart life, and spirit, and strength.

hope OF material improvement if not

The majority of the stock of the asso-

plant, worth about $4,000 for less
than one-fifth that sum, and by dill

built up lucrative and growing
trade. Mr.. +. declares, however, that
his residence in foreign land is only
temporary, and that he will in the

operation OF his farm near this city.

A NEWSPAPER HooDoo.

! A singular fatality attaches in the
United States to the newspaper which
bears party name. or the twenty OF
thirty Republicans" or Democrats
started In New York during the last
three decades no important journal
survives. The same is approximately
true OF journalism In other cities
There are "Heralds" and Suns" Ca
zettes" and Records" galore but the
Republicans" and Democrats" are
few and far between Generally those
which succeed under party name do
so by processing opposite principles
from the ones which the title naturally
suggests. Thus the Springfield Re
publican" is not Republican but Mug
wump; the st. Louis "Globe-Democrat"
is not Democratic but Republican; the
old st. Louis Republican" (now Re
public'O built itself up by being Demo-
cratic; the Rochester Democrat" is
Republican, the Denver Republican"
Is for free silver. Washington city used
to have a daily called the Republican"
but 1t failed so miserably, despite a
galaxy of able writer's that no one at
the capital has since dared to chal-
lenge the hoodoo. Roscoe Conkling,
at the zenith OF his fame lent his nfiu-
ence to Utica Republican" but the
paper failed In fourteen months at a
loss of 100000. The Los Angeles
Republican" after sinking fortune,
Joined the innumerable caravan which
moves to the pale realms of bankrupt
cy. Why people have such an aversion
TO newspaper which lives up to a
party name may perhaps be accounted
for by wholesome popular dlstrust OF
the organ" which Is committed to the
thick and thin support OF something
which may come to deserve reproof
This theory Is borne out by the fact
that the only successful political pa
pers in America are those which are
independent within the party they
serve and wholly reject the theory that
IN man Is corrupt he should still be
voted for" Examples In New York
are the World, Journal, Sun and Trib-
lne, These papers never stop at a
garrantable party criticism and they

FINE SPECIMEN
OF ACCOUNTING
Finance Committee Has Sum
married Plague Expen es
on One Big Sheet.

One OF the finest specimens OF &c
counting work ever made in the Islands
is that of the plague bills" just com
pleted by Mr.. Beale. He has Just COM
pleted the arduous task of computing,
classifying and summarizing all the
bills contracted during the plague cpl
mic from December up to the time
the last person was sent out of the de-
tention camps, for the Finance Commit
tee.
The accounts cover a sheet nearly
three feet long and between eighteen
and twenty inches wide. The figures
are in red, black, blue and yellow inks,
which more fully present to the eye an
easy reading of separate accounts, and
enables the Auditors Office to make
quicker progress in reoonciling the ae-
counts.
Every camp, the pest house, the Board
of Health office, the morgue, the FUND
eating stations and In fact every branch
of service has separate space. The ex-
penses taken from the vouchers In lump
sums are set down for each camp under
separate heads. For instance, at Kalihi
camp, under the head OF provisions"
the expenses for each month of the
camps existence are noted; under
building material" the same character
of classification is carried out.
Similar classifcations from the other
camps are observed md all summarized
at one side Of the sheet, BY this means
the totals are exposed In plain sight.
making II easy to sum up the grand to
tai, which Is something like $4,000.
The books, accounts. vouchers and
bills have all been sent to the Board OF
Health Office In readiness for inspection

row afternoon.

1.-THE OF the nastiness which cursed
that quarter and through II the city,
during the lax and feeble administra-
tion of Cooper. AS at present govern
ed and organized, therefore, Honolulu
is able to meet the plague, If it lands,
in full confidence of its ability to get
the upper hand Of the black destroyer.
But an ounce of prevention Is better
than a pola d of cure. Economy must
not stand in the way of safeguards at
the observation-disclosures against the
landing OF rats or of unfumigated
freight from infected ports. Happily
the United States Government will be
In charge of that important work after
June 14th and there will be no lack of
funds to labor with. Moreover the Off
Gals will be independent OF local in
fluences which are always at work to
get concessions that ought not to be
made. The local authorities, however,
will have enough to do in looking out
for rats, private habitations. public
cleanliness and the like and in this
work money should be laid out with 4
generous hand. Had the Cooper Board
expended the bare time necessary to
compel property-owners to live up to
the sanitary law we should have es-
capped the million dollar plague Now
no reasonable sum of money should be
spared to keep the city free of pestl-
lence; for however easily we might
handle 1t, the presence OF the thing
might mean an enormous loss in inter-
rupted trade with the other islands
and with the Mainland.
We do not write to alarm any one
with the idea that the plague is here
now or Is sure to come; but to draw
reasonable lessons from the fact that
plague Is returning to Oriental cities
whence 1t was driven a few weeks ago
and that there is more of it on our
routes of commercial intercourse than
ever before.
