That they are disturbed over the pub

The affair Is bringing ont amusing
comment Not the least so Is a de-
mandatory letter from John T.. Bush,
who never loses chance TO advertise
himself as a native leader any more
than he does to betray such natives as

the native party, the credulous spirits

by white man to the benumbed and
hungry viper whom the Greek Cother-
wise the Hawaiian warmed at the
hearthstone and which bit him for his
pains. Obviously the Hawaiian can
not have anything but an aloha for the
ungrateful serpent; at least that is Mr..
Bush's conclusion.
But enough of Bush. He is more
picturesque as an over-conylvial en-
yoy, flying through the Samoan plan
tain patches pursued by his German
dinner hosts than he is as a logician
trying to escape a tagging non-sequl-
tur. The point we are most Interested
in is whether a color line, once drawn
could be maintained.
We think not. 1t is an anachronism
in any event for the Tesla party TO
talk an anti-haole campaign when itI
proposes to follow one white man as
Il Moses and use as many others as II
can trust to do the fine work of poll
tics. Besides, the Portuguese whom the

selves. What threatens to come out of
the whole matter Is n division on the
old lines of 1898, with the Queens
friends, native and white, on the one
side and the majority of her former
antagonists on the other. We look for
that kind of a contest in the first po-
litical battle. Royalists predict that 1t
will end In an anti-American victory;
Americans are waiting with interest
to see how far the conspiracy will
spread and are wasting no breath on
predictions

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 it is most de-
sirable that incineration should super
zede interment. Honolulu is such a
place. or course incarceration can
progress but slowly here at first, but
the presence of the crematory and the
kind of work it will do, may be trust
ed to educate the public and in time
measurably relieve the pressure on the
cemeteries.

Part OF the latest dispatch from Ha-
yana reveals Cuban character in con-
tlict with American so typically that it
is worth reading carefully:
Acting Mayor Estrada Mora visited
General Wood to inform him that in
consequence of the recent action OF
the Havana municipality and of Gen
eral Ludlow in breaking down the mo-
nopoly in the use of the slaughter
house, held in trust for the cattle deal
ers, the latter had threatened no: to
supply any more meat, asserting they
had monopoly of cattle and cou d en-
tirely cut off the meat supply of Ha-
yana.
General Wood told Senior Mora to
take thirty policemen and to occupy
the slaughter house, keeping 1t open
to all who wished to kill cattle there,
and inform all members Of the cattle
trust that If they refused to supply
cattle they would not be allowed in flu
ture to kin at the slaughter house
These instructions were carried into
effect and there was no trouble. Only
one mana member of the cattle trust
refused TO kill, and he was informed
that he would not be allowed to use
the slaughter house again.
This sort OF thing crops up contnu-
ally. Relying on some tradition which
has grown to be considered right be-
cause no one has had the courage to
fight 1t, some man or group OF men pc
riodically refuses compliance with an
innovation looking to a more efficient,
or more modern, or cleaner bust
ness method. The American in au-
thority proceeds to carry out the in
novation just the same, and he does II
in so striking manner that absolute
ly no doubt Is left in the minds of his
late opponents as to what Is going to
be done in future. The above instance
is perfect type of hundreds OF 9TH
eTs-including the helplessness OF the
Cuban Mayor. The Cubans are slow
ly learning the lesson OF going ahead
and doing things that need TO be done,
instead OF considering difficulties, OBJ
jectioAs, and precedents

The death of James Campbell re-
moves a self-made man of representa-
live character. Endowed by nature
with shrewdness and sheer grit, he
rose superior to adverse circumstances
and became rich and in many ways in
auential. Doubtless he made his share
Of mistakes and had the strong mans
proportion of enemies; but his life
taught lessons of patience, industry
and courage which are well to remem-
Der. There was one time when all
Hawaii felt proud of James Campbell
and that was when, PROSTATE in the
hands of desperate men in lonesome
house of San Francisco, he defed his
abductors for two days and finally got
the better of them. Captain Lees de-
5cribed him after that as the nerviest
man he ever knew and the praise was
Justified.

NO CREMATION
FOR CATHOLICS
So Says the Bishop of Panopolis Who
Issues Circular Letter to
His Flock.

The Bishop OF Panopolis, vicar upos-
tolic to the Hawaiian Islands, and head
of the Catholic Church here. has is
sued circular letter against crema-
ton which is found as an advertise
ment in another column. The Bishop
says that the Church has decreed
against this method of disposing OF the
dead and expresses the wish that the
members of his see obey the Church's
will in the matter. The following is
the text OF the Bishops letter:
To the Clergy and Laity OF the Catho-
lie Church in Hawaii:
1t Is my duty as your Bishop, now
that some people are working TO sub
stitute cremation. an old pagan rlte,
for the Christian rite of inhumation,
to acquaint you with the rules adopted
by the Church In regard to this mat
ter.
On the 18th of May, 1886, decree.
approved by Pope Leo XIII. declares:
list. Catholic cannot become a mem
Der OF any society which imposes Gre
nation. I'd. No Catholic shall ask
cremation for himself nor for anybody
else.
On the 18th of December, 1886, an
other decree, approved by the same au-
thority, declares that the ceremonies
of the Church must be refused to any
one not having retracted his request to
be cremated; but the Church allows the
ceremonies to be performed ON the
bodies, at home or In the church, OF
those who are to be cremated by Or
ders issued by the government or by
some other authority.
These are the rules OF our church in
regard to cremation and my wish is
that every Catholic In this country
should keep them as the church has
good reasons for imposing them on her
children.
Yours faithfully.
GULSTAN.
HsAop OF Panopolis.
Vicar AROstolje.

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-
tient, believing that sufficient time
should be taken to avoid mistakes and
to set up the new government upon
luch a firm basis as to insure its sue
cess and permanence. All are looking
forward to the municipal elections
that are to take place in the latter part
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.
If they take place without disorder
and good officials are elected, that will
go far to prove the capacity OF the peo-
pie for self-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 Its princi-
Piles or its details, its 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.

On the Eve of Advance.

LONDON, April IL Afternoon Ser
vice AT last Roberts seems to be on
the eve of making his main advance
towards Pretoria. Unless all the usual
reliable sources of information and all
the indications Struggled past the CEN
sor are at fault, the British army with
in few days will be marching north
ward. After many premature and I'M
founded reports that have purported
to tell of this move there is naturally
even In the best informed quarters con
siderable hesitancy in settling upon the
day Lord Roberts is likely to leave
Bloemfontein, but there is a settled i'm
preston that 1t will occur either at the
end of this week or the beginning of
next. The long, weary wait in the Free
state capital has apparently effected a
much needed rehabilitation, though 1t
is probable Lord Roberts would still
further have delayed his advance had
not the Boer activity forced him to
put his forces in such positions that un-
less they quickly proceed northward
the strategic advantage will be lost.
The critics agree in the superstition
that the advance will be made in paral-
lei columns with a broad front west of
the railroad, the third and eighth divi-
sions sweeping northward to the ex-
IRENE northwest, the entire force
amounting to $4,000 men.
Exactly what part General Butler
will take is still a secret, which no one
is able to probe.
From the seat of war there Is slgnif-
icant silence. From The Hague comes
the news that the Boer delegates re-
fuse to make public the object of their
mission. They hope to be received by
Queen Wilhelmina. but nothing In this
direction has yet been decided upon.

olimpses of the Campaign.

Glimpses Of the Campaign.
NEW YORK, April 17.-(Afternoor
Service IA dispatch TO the Trbun,
from London says:
Ladysmith dispatches confirm IN,
report that the Beers have retired from
the Glands Laagte district to their Big
garsberg positions. No raiding opera
tioDs southwark have been reported
and IL is now clear that the Boer ad.
vance was ordered for the sake of EN-.
pioying the burghers on active duty
ana OF checking assertions The Brit.
lsh Inactivity in one sense Is mastery
since it demoralizes the enemy.
Sir Redyers Buffers scouts have re.
reported that the Beers have wrecked
the engine house and shafts of three
golfers by heavy charges of dynamite
These wanton attacks upon private
property have been characteristic oil
Jle Dutch campaign. South Africans
explain them on the theory that the
Boers are aware that claims for dam
ages to property in Natal and Cape
Colony which will be presented after
lhe war, can never be assessed against
The farmers of the two common
wealths, but will be liquidated by the
mine owners of the Rand. According
" the Beers feel at liberty to infliCt as
much damage as possible, since the
indemnify will come out of the min
ing industry of the Rand in the form
OF taxation based on the profits Of the
companies. The theory is correct with
out doubt that Johannesburg will pay
che piper when the war is over. Meth
er Pretoria nor Bloemfontein has re-
~
ties and bills for damages.
An official bulletin issued at Pretoria
contains a survey of the military stu
alton in the various sections and inn
plies that there Is activity all along
The line. The Boer officials evidently
ind 1t necessary to convey the i'm
preston to their own people that the
Dutch forces have not disbanded, but
are actively employed at various
points. The only fresh claim of vic
tory in this dispatch Is report that
General Froneman has defeated a Brit
isb column and driven it across the
Orange river. There is no contrma-
zion of this story from British sources
and, on the contrary, the attack on
Col Dalsety's force near Wepener has
slackened and there are persistent ru-
mors that General Brabant has reliev-
ed the garrison after defeating the
Beers. General Brabant is on the
way to Wepener with a strong mount
ed force and reinforcements from Ma
tai are behind him. General Cherm-
side with a full division, is also NOV
ing east from Reddersburg and the
Beers may be caught in corner some
where in the southwestern section of
the Free State.
The general situation at Bloemfon-
tein is unchanged. Military experts
here do not expect an advance north
ward for a week or ten days, since
Lord Roberts is waiting for large ship
ments of horses, which have barely ar
rived at Cape Town. They are also
convinced that General Butler will re-
main on the defensive and not attack
Biggarsberg until the enemy's force
has been drawn off by Lord Roberts
invasion of the Transvaal. 1t is con-
sldered probable that Generals Hunter
and Brabant will work their way UP
10 Wepener and Ladybrand, and in
this way protect Lord Roberts line of
communications.

Makes Business Fer News Dealers.

While the majority of people strong
~ object to a rainy Sunday as the
worst time during the whole week
there is one class which hail rainy
Sunday with JOY. 1t is the periodical
dealers. During the recent rainy sea
son they have coined money. 1t is not
in those cases a question of picking
over everything in the shop to find
what to read, hut on the other hand,
the call is for something to read.
One Of the largest calls in case Of
that kind is for the Sunday papers,
There is almost no end to the demand
for those. and in spite of the large sup
ply, it frequently happens that the
whole stock will be exhausted. Maya
zines are also much sought after and
when the following Monday comes af-
ter a rainy Sunday there are but few
a rule. left on the counters.
But magazines and papers are no;
the only things in demand for many
frequently neglect to supply themselves
with reading matter from the Libraries
and there is quite a sale of books
There is always a good demand for the
Sunday papers but il never compares
with that during a rainy Sunday.
