The strong fight against putting a
tariff upon Porto Rlean products,
which seems likely to succeed, is IN
favor of Hawaii as far as her products
are concerned, for if Porto Rican pro-
ducts come in free, so also must Ha-
waiian products come in free. But The
Star objects to Hawaii being classed
with Porto Rico. The case of Hawaii
is entirely different from that of Porto
Rico or the Philippines. Both of these
were practical conquests in war. Ha-
wall came to the United States of her
own volition after years of prepara-
ton. Hawaii has been governed on the
pattern of the United States and has
shown her ability for self government.
Many of her citizens are trained states
men, who have guided the fortune of
Hawaii when the little bark found
hard to paddle it's way among the levia-
thans of the earth. But 1t is hard to
make others see the difference which
we, ourselves, so clearly see.

A HARD KICK.

Corporations have been defined as
bodies which have nothing to kick and
no souls to be saved, but they certainly
owe something to the public The Ha-
waiian Electric Light and Power Com.
pany is a wealthy corporation which
still has an exclusive franchise, and Sc
has no competition. There is an ever
increasing business, the shares are at a
large premium, and big dividends are
paid to the shareholders.
The public certainly has a right to ask
that such company, in such condi-
ton should be up to date. As a fact the
company is notup to date and when COM
plant is made, the noblemen who have
charge can give no satisfactory reply to
the consumer, because apparently there
no head to the concern.
On the occasion of the Chinatown fire
the whole Of the electric power of the
town had to be shut Off With a prop
erly arranged plant only that portion of
the town needed to be switched off, and
the remainder of the city might have
gone on using its power. Today there
is a breakdown somewhere in the ma
chinery, and every one dependent upon

A kick from the steerage was regis
tered yesterday, and the explanation of
W. M. Giffard of the Oceanic Company
was given. 1t must be very plain to
the most casual observer that it is not
to the interest of the company to refuse
transportation to passengers, seeing
that passengers are the "fat" Ito use a
printers expression) of the ship. AS q
fact the company is now at work striv-
ing to get some recognition for ordinary
Storage passengers, but the Central
Government cannot see it. To those
who travel there is wide difference be-
tween the Asiatic and the European
steerage, but the United States Govern
ment fails to recognize that difference.
1t must be with the United States and
not with the Oceanic Steamship Com
pany that issue must be taken. This
may be good advice. but it does not put
things ahead.

The news from Maui is encouraging.
There had been no cases nor any suspi-
cious cases up to Monday, March 5, a
period of eight days. This of course
does not mean that Maui is entirely out
of the woods, for we in Honolulu have
had period of thirteen days without a
case, and then had our hopes dashed to
the ground, but if Maui gets through
without a case till next Monday, it may
begin to fairly congratulate itself upon
having the plague situation completely
in hand! With the experience which
was dearly bought in Honolulu, the au-
thorities have been able to get things
into shape and to organize preventive
measures more readily upon the other
Islands than they were at the outset
here. We have certainly learned a
great deal about fighting plague in the
last few months, but our physicians are
still as far off as the rest of the world in
being always able to diagnoze cases of
plague. However certainty may be
reached at last.

The japanese steamship people seem
to be stirred up about the American
shipping laws being extended to the
Islands, as it will affect their steamers.
That government has telegraphed to its
representatives in Washington to protest
against the bill. According to the Jap
anese papers no reply has been received
1t is a curious fact that no mention Of
this protest was made in any of the
Coast papers. This adds another COM
piication to Hawaiian affairs.

electric power finds his work at stand
still. In the States this would not have
happened, for every properly conducted
electric power establishment has a du-
plicate plant, and when any part gets
out of order, forthwith there is just a
flicker, and its duplicate is doing the
work.
The fact is that the electric light and
power company has not kept pace with
its ever-increasing business; it has been
paying out in dividends what it ought
to have been putting into extra machin-
cry. 1t is all very well to make enorm-
Gus profits, but something is due to the
customers who enable you to make those
profits. The corporation should protect
its customers. We are having the bene-
fits of an exclusive franchise, and it is
object lesson which will probably bear
fruit in the future. Were there no eX-
elusive franchise the people would be
better served, because competition
would always be imminent, and would
serve as a spur. 81.
For a city of the size of Honolulu,
and the amount of business that comes
to its Electric Light and Power Com
pany, it is worse served in this direction
than any city in the world. The com.
pany needs a responsible head, dupli'
cate plant, and a staff capable of giving
information when its customers come
and ask for it.

WEDNESDAY, MARCH Z, 1900.

That a man should disappear out OF
a community like this, and leave no
trace is certainly extraordinary. Alger-
non Shaw, of the Australia, has disap-
peared since August of last year. The
questions asked are did he stowaway
for Manila? Has he been make away
within or has he been shanghaied? Each
one is a possibility but no one can tell
the truth upon the point. Elsewhere
disappearances are frequent, here they
are rare.

The water question up the valley is
becoming more and more serious from
day to day. The reservoirs are down to
their lowest notch and those who pay
for privileges in that part of the town
get one-half to three-quarters of what
they are intended to get, and it is quite
probable that the supply may be still
further lowered. A very earnest con-
gregation from the valley might be OBJ
tanned if any clergyman announced that
he would hold a service for rain.

THINK A BIT.

A question of Chinese law has come
up before our courts. The lower court
convicted. The upper court has reversed
the decision, not upon the question of
law, but because it did not consider the
evidence adduced proved the case, or, to
make it more clear, that though the
statements might be correct, the evil
dence was not of a kind that an
Hawaiian court might recognize
The case in question is quite curious
one. A Chinese here, having made
money, sent to China for a wife. He
sent the money for the young damsel to
come out. According to Chinese law,
as far as can be learned, the girl was
married by proxy to the man who sent
the money for the transportation. A
great deal is made of the ceremony. 1t
is said a rooster was slain to emphasize
the event. The ceremonies connected
with such circumstance belong to the
people themselves, 1t they believe in
the slaughter of rooster to solemnize
matrimony, it is not for race which
has held jumping over a broomstick, or
"bundling," or the Gretna Green lack
of ceremonies sufficient to hallow matri-
mony and rule the descent of property,
to make much of kick at the Chinese
method of observance. We have been
quite as crude ourselves, in spite of our
airs of superiority.
But the court has left the case in the
air. The young lady, fair lily of fifty
placid ponds, was, according to Chinese
law duly married. at least so it is
cIaimed, to her almond eyed spouse.
She, on her arrival here, married accord
ing to Hawaiian law, an impecunious
but better looking almond eyed one,
and gave the proxy gentleman the
mitten.
The distressed gentleman appealed to
to the court and Judge Wilcox ruled
that legal marriage according to Chi
nese or any other law was legal in this
country. Therefore the marriage of
the young lady, even though a rooster
figured in it, was binding one. In the
next court of resort which was reached
on appeal, the case was given against
the claiming spouse, not because there
was any objection to the marriage, per Sc,
but because the court considered that
the rooster episode was not properly
substantiated.
In point of fact the court lodged the
question. 1t saw way out of snarl
and took it. The probability is that nine
men out OF ten would have taken the
some path. But the tenth man would
not have lodged the issue and would
have taken the responsibility of giving
decision. That there should be legal
penalty for breach of contract no organ
lied community can deny. The world s
views upon these things, however, vary.
/ The world is more lenient upon the wo-
man who jilts man than it is upon the
man who jilts woman, and it is per-
fectly callous as to any iilting that may
take place between two almond eyed
! lovers.
