A BRIGHT SCHEME.

The effect of the Empress Dowager' S
traitor has certainly fathomed human
nature pretty accurately. The glitter
ing bait which she put forth in order
TO get Leong Chi-tso into her clutches
has dazzled not only Chinese high
binders, but has proved attractive to
others. There are some men here who
are quite willing to abduct the Chinese
reformer, carry him over sea and put
him in the hands of his blood thirsty
enemy. Perhaps if these worthless were
TO apply for a charter they might get
one. The Bow Wong society has been
regarded as revolutionary and it's char
ter has been refused But a society to
put down revolution with a high hand
ought to meet with instant recognition.
Anything to support the cruel tyrant
who opposes Chinese progress.
The only difficulty that the schemers
find before them is the little matter of
collecting the dough. Tyrants who
chop peoples heads off and want politi-
cal opponents abducted are somewhat
kittle cattle to deal with. They are apt
to be lavish of promise but are any
thing but prompt in performance. Or
they may be too prompt, Some one in
the far distant past chopped off Pom
pegs head, after the latter had been
defeated by Caesar and was flying for
his life. But when he arrived before
The victor with what he thought was an
acceptable present to that great gen.
eral he found that Caesar had changed
his mind, that he had always loved
Pompey as a brother and that any one
who injured him, injured his best
friend, Caesar. Therefore the unlucky
wight had his head promptly chopped
off.
The historic precedent should be care
fully considered by the would-be alb
ductors of Leong Chi-tso. 1t is just
possible that the Dowager- Empress of
China may be well read in history, and
might recall the little incident above
related. It would moreover be a clear
gain to her majesty of $4,000, and even
monarchs in these days have to be
economical. The scheme may be a
bright one, it may even be a worthy
one, but it would be we'll to look over
the wall before taking the leap. The
Chinese have a pleasant way of slicing
people up as we slice a cucumber and
il would be a somewhat unpleasant
way of terminating a voyage.

matters, which could be attended to
by the local municipality have been
gravely debated in full assembly.
When one comes to consider it, our
method Of carrying everything through
the Legislature was very much like a
partner in a large firm submitting to
his copartners his wife's egg account
or the amount of wages he should pay
his cook. The details of his daily life
and private expenditures are his own
The details of the daily life and expen-
ditures of municipality are it's own.
1t may conduct them well or i'll. But
what 1t may do does not effect the broad
Legislature, which deals with things en-
masse
Then, again, a municipal government
can deal with questions as they come
perpetual session. 1t provides for the
wants of the hour Take, for instance,
the need in Honolulu of providing work
for a number of unemployed. To do
that at the present time we have to
run to the Minister of Interior, whose
mind ought to be considering matters
from Kauai to Hawaii. He will, like
as not, say he does not see his way
to doing anything. But a municipal
government would at once look at the
question, and would reason that it could
not afford to have idle and hungry men
about, because they might become a
menace to property. 1t would look
/ \ I l.,
done; it could pass an ordinance to
have certain work done, and would give
the men the opportunity they need. If
they did not avail themselves of the
chance the city officials could soon
round them up.
The more municipal government is
discussed and considered by our people;
the more they inform themselves about
it, the better they will understand their
coming duties. For this purpose the
open lectures of the Triangle Club, with
( the opportunity for discussion and COM
ment which they give after the lecture,
are invaluable. Not only are the gen
| tlemen who lecture able and we'll ac-
| quainted with the subject presented,
but there are more often than not, per-
sons present who from personal exper-
fence can throw much light upon the
question under discussion. 1t Is a very
healthy sign when a large portion of
the city is giving up it's time to the dis
cussion of what will be it's future gov
eminent. There will be no crudeness
in the future methods We shall have
people who are thoroughly well prepar-
ed to meet the burdens and difficulties
that may have to be faced.

1t is said that every one has his dou-
BILE, and certainly there have been some
strange cases chronicled in works which
deal with the subject. Mr.. Burns, who
left by the Australia found that his
striking likeness to the opium snug
gler Weinecker, brought him into con-
tact with the customs officers, who
would like very much to lay hands on
the latter. Fortunately, Burns was able
to show that he was Burns, and not
Weinecker but it cost him something
in i'll temper. But there have been
cases where justice has erred, and pun
ished the wrong man through mistaken
identity, even to the extent of hang
ing, and then, when too late, discover
ing the error.

IT is NECESSARY.

The great question before the dwell
ers of Honolulu today is municipal
government There is considerable ad-
vantage in municipal government, in
looking after things which neither ter
ritorial or national government can at
tend to. The disadvantage of not hav-
ing municipal government has often
been realized here. Through not having
any municipal government, the time OF
the Legislature has been taken up with
municipal affairs, and the main work of
the country has had to wait, while local

But. my friends, let me call your
attention to new questions-those
that have come up since the war. One
is the size of our army. We had only
twenty-five thousand soldiers in the
standing army before the Spanish war.
How many did the President ask for
in December. 1898? One hundred
thousand. Now a Democrat knows
that hundred thousand soldiers are
four times a. many as twenty-five
thousand. Republicans used to say
that Democrats couldn't read nor
write. But they always admitted that
we were good at figures, and We know
that Republican President wished
to multiply the standing army by four.
