A "dusty" ocean highway sounds al

how little work Of any kind may be
done during the day, nevertheless, Il
the decks are not swept at nightfall,

ships show that they collect more sea
dust than does a steamer, which IL
probably accounted for by the fact that
while the dust-laden smoke blows clear
of the steamer. the large area OF cam
vas spread by the sailor acts as dust
collector, says the London Shipping
Word.

STEAMSHIP DISCRIMINATION.

The Canadian-Australian steamers
are too particular about Honolulu and
not particular enough about Austria
liam ports. The Miowera, for example,
sailed from Sydney at a time when
there were twenty-seven plague cases
in the city, all of them traceable TO
the waterfront. Yet she took passen-
gers and freight from there for Homo
lulu and Vancouver without any pre-
cautions or safeguards whatsoever
not even for the steerage people.
The freight was not fumigated nor
were the passengers obliged to take
antiseptic baths. The Miowera sim
ply loaded up and came along. The
health authorities Of this port on
boarding the vessel learned from a line
or two on the bill of health that the
plague was carrying people off at Sgd
ney, but could get few particulars from
the officers, who seemed Indifferent to
the whole matter. But their indiffer-
ence did not extend to the point OF
accepting new business here, for when
local people wanted steerage for the
Coast they were plumply refused pas
sage. Why, is a puzzling question.
for Honolulu had not, up to yesterday,
developed fresh case of plague in
eleven days and had but four cases
charged against it in month. lac
people who desired passage had been
disinfected and had taken the prophy-
Tactic. They were much less likely to
carry plague germs than the passen-
gers who were accommodated at Sgd
ney, to say nothing of the freight. In
view of the discrimination made
against this port. there will be little
public sympathy for the Canadian
Australian line on account of the re-
fusal of the Board of Health to permit
its vessels to unload Sydney mer
chandise here.

President Thomas Rain Walker of
the Chamber of Commerce deprecates
anything in the press likely to magni-
fy plague reports. To illustrate. he
cites headline in this paper which he
quotes as Plague to Windward." III
Mr.. Walker will turn to our files he
will find large, black interrogation
point after the final word. The whole
phrase read Plague to Windward?"
and as such was perfectly descript-
i've headline for the news that a doctor
on the other side of the Island had re-
ported suspect cases. This paper mere
ly repeated a question then on every
body's lips. We might suggest to Mr..
Walker that the Advertiser with its
interrogations does less harm TO the
sanitary repute OF Hawaii than is done
by his Canadian-Australian steamship
line in refusing to book steerage pas
sengers from this clean port while TAX
ing them freely from the plague-smit-
ten purlieus of Sydney.

Admiral Dewey has been badly ad-
vised in the matter of running for the
Presidency. He will now find, as he
did when he transferred his gift house
to his bride, that public regard for him
is not so deep as to grant him exemp-
tion in criticism or even in assault.
From a national hero he may become
the derided leader of political third
party, for it is not likely that the Re-
publieans will desert Mckinley for
him nor the Democrats Bryan. In
the meantime the merits of the Manila
fight and the value of Admiral Deweys
personal participation in it are sure
to come in for scathing analysis.
Glimpzes of what the accusations will
be may be had in Joseph Stickney's
statement that the Admiral was sea-
sick during the battle and that he
withdrew his fleet from in front OF the
Spaniards not for breakfast-vhich
would have been an absurd Interrupt
ton of a battle-but because he
thought he was getting the worst of 1t
from much inferior foe. Mr.. Stick
ney, who vouches for this story. was
on the bridge with Dewey as the Ad-
uniral's own earlier dispatches prove.
The best friends OF Dewey will regret
more than they can say that he did not
stick to his first decision and keep out
OF politics. He will simply cheaper
his fame by going into it, invite pow
erful enmities and in the end gain
nothing.

1t is a pity that when large trees
get in the way here they have 10 be
cut down. There are mechanical de-
vices, which do not cost much, to take
up and transplant the largest forest
growths. These find free use else
where in landscape gardening and in
Eastern cities they have been the
means of creating off-hand, as 1t were,
mature groves on bare park land. In
Honolulu noble palms, the slow prod
ucts of thirty. seventy and one hun
dred years have been destroyed by the
march OF building and street-widen-
ing. The other day a splendid row of
palms was cut down at Beretania ave-
nue. and Adams lane to make room for
a sidewalk. 1t was a waste of both
arboreal beauty and cash, for these
trees might have been transplanted to
the newer parts of the city, where
property-owners would have been will
ing to take them at a good price and
where they would have added to the
beauty of the vicinage One might
fairly think that the moving of trees
would be as profitable business here
as it is elsewhere. All that is needed,
mechanically, is a strong, six-wheeled
truck, a small derrick and five or six
helpers on the job. AS for customers,
they are legion.

Admiral Dewey's idea that the Pres
idency is an easy task shows how unfit
he is to aspire to 1t. Executing the
laws Of Congress" may seem to be no
more difficult than 'obeying the orders
of a superior officer" but no man ever
found it so. The President of the
United States should be a public ad-
ministrator. a diplomat, an organizer
OF business, a thinker fit TO advise
Congress as to it's policies and to de-
eide upon the merits of legislation that
comes from or before the law-making
body. and, withal, keen judge of hu-
man nature. In brief, the President
should be a trained statesman of the
highest type. The most successful
ones were OF that character, while the
least successful were the martial he
roes who thought that all they had to
do was to execute the laws of Con-
gress." AS for Dewey, sailor and
fghter-nothing else-his presence in
the White House at time when great
civil policies are the order of the day
would be painful anachronism.

From hints in the native papers we
assume that the old Palace crowd of
politicians mean to use whatever pow
er they may get in Hawaii under the
amended suffrage for purposes of re-
venge. Such a policy would be quite
like them both in its vicious and its
foolish aspects. If inaugurated we do
not doubt that it will supply the friends
OF good government here with all the
arguments they want to convince the
next Congress of the need and value
of the property qualification for voters.
