WIRE ALL CROSS.

The telephone system all over the
city was in most deplorable state las:
night. People could have died before
the arrival of medical assistance If IL
had been fonnd necessary to depend on
their telephones. \ physician of :he
city called out on an emergency case at
about 10 o'clock and Immediately af-
forwards he attempted to get hack.
After standing at the telephone anil
making all kinds of noises for over ten
minutes, he decided that the shortest
way would be 10 wake up his coachman
and have his already tired horses har-
messed up.
\ live wire at the corner OF Nuuanu
and School streets last night came very
near being the cause of the death OF a
horse belonging to n Chinese hackman
and the destruction of a Chinese store
in the immediate vicinity. The wire
was discovered by L. Mclnerny who
summoned the police and the people OF
the Hawaiian Electric Co. who, togeth'
er, succeeded in getting tn edangerou;
wire out Of the way.

and the rain was very heavy
\ number of roofs were blown off at
Kaneohe and several rice fields were
washed out to sea. The fiume supply

other damage was done to the mill. The
old fish pond at Kaneohe was washed
az ~ and the fish swept out to sea en-
failing a very considerable loss to ;h2

NO BOOK CONTRACT.

The Board of Education may we'll
hesitate before making a contract with
any Publishing house for exclusive
purchase of the books used in the pub
lie schools of the Territory Expert
encc has not been such as to Justify the
renewal Of the OLD contract or making
a new one that will prevent the pur-
chase of school books in the open mar
ket.
The present contract with the Amer
lean Book Company according to the
opinion of many teachers best able to
judge mas not been success. Occa-
sions have arisen when educators have
considered that the progress of the
scholars would best be served by the
use of school book editions other than
those issued by this company. These
books 1t has been practically impossible
to obtain owing to the terms Of the
contract binding the Board to purchase
from a single source of supply.
To bind the whole educational sys-
/ TEN to a private corporation for term
of years is on the face Of 1t measure
that does not serve the best public in
terests. In every branch of study the
teachers should seek to secure the
school publications best suited to the
local demand. This has not been pos
5ible under such contract and cannot
he possible until the book publishing
| millennium is reached.
Aside from this feature. the changing
conditions foreshadowed in the decer.
tralizaton of the school system as well
as other details of government ought
to deter the present educational board
from making a contract or contracts
which by any possibility could EN-
barass their successors in local admins
tration over the schools Of this or any
other island. Bartoring in publ,
commodity is a phase of local admins,
tration that Is certain to pass out OF
existence as the details of former pa.
JCrnal government are relegated to the
past.

MISUNDERSTANDING GEAR.

The Advertisers ponderous effort to
dlscredit the action Of \. V. Gear in
the campaign just closed leaves that
organ as usual wallowing in the mirs
of malicious misrepresentation. NJ.
Gears action throughout the campaign
was that Of an honest consistent Re
publican. He neither paid runners to
circulate petition for him nor did he
attempt to dlsplace Henry Warehouse
on the ticket.
For reasons which the Bulletin can
not fathom, the nomination Of Mr..
Warehouse on the Republican Sena-
torial ticket caused an immediate and
widespread uproar among the workers
for the Republican party. Some said
1t was his prominence at the police sta
ton in the '95 rebellion, others that
they didn't like him." The situation
was distressing one both to the party
managers and members of the nominal
ing convention who had voted for Mr..
Warehouse believing him TO be as
strong II not stronger candidate than
Dillingham; owing to his intimate as g.
sociations> with the Hawaiian people.
Almost without exception the party
managers, personal friends of Mr.. Wa
terhouse, said that Mr.. WAREHOUSES;
nomination was a political mistake.
AS Mr.. Gear, although admittedly a
strong candidate, had withdrawn when
the original ticket was framedin order
to prevent party bolt on the part OF
Thurston, there were many who believ-
ed the ticket could be saved by Mr..
Gear becoming an independent Repub-
lican candidate. Those strong in this
circulated petitions to that effect.
Mr.. Gears personal friends, however,
were divided as to the ACCESSIBILITY Of
such a course. Some OF those most
intimate with him urged strongly
against it. The only proper manner tc
settle the question was direct reference
to the party managers. This was done
and details of such reference and the
result are fully known to the public.
Mr.. Gear was no more active in can
vassing for support TO his independent
