THE SENATE wRANGLE.

The Brown incident in the Senate
Tuesday afternoon shows that the ma
jOrity party made most unfortunate
selection in tn echoiCe of DR.. Russell as
the presiding officer of the Senate. The
only man who comes out prominently
as capable Of sizing up a trying situa-
ton and doing the right thing at the
right time and on short notice is Sen-
ator Kalauokalani.
As the leader Of the minority Sena-
tor Brown action was just what would
be expected Of full blooded American
who knows his rights on the floor of
q legislative body and refuses to have
them trampled upon If he has to de-
mand them by force of personal physi-
cal vgor. 1t is the privilege of the
minority Of any legislative body to
take advantage of every false move or
mistake made by the majority. and al
though 1t is plain that Senator Browns
forceful protest was not premeditated
he showed himself fully capable Of
carrying the responsibilities of a
minority leader.
The first qualifications of pre-.
siding officer are tact, knowledge of par
liaihentary proceedings. cool judgment
and ability to act quickly in order to
draw the proceedings out Of an UNI

sergeant-at-arms called upon? Seldom
II ever unless the members some to
blows. Senator Browns inslstent as
sertion was by no means unprecedent-
ed in legislative bodies. President
Russell's call upon the sergeant-at-
arms was altogether unnecessary.
President Russell was apparently
ratified: first when he voted in oppo.
sition to his own party presumably by
mistake; second, when he ordered the
secretary to change his vote and third
and finally, when he either lost his
temper or didn't know what else to 60
and called on the sergeant-at-arms for
assistance. President Russell is con-
scientious, means well and Is not to he
criticised for strict party fealty. but
II he hopes to steer a reasonably salts
factory course he needs to study up On
legislators and how to handle them.
Not the least of his duty as presiding
officer is to carry his point and keep
everybody in good temper.

HAWAII STATEHOOD.

Hawaii will never be admitted to
statehood until 1t has proved itself
worthy, certainly not until II has
shown itself capable of dividing its
territory into Independent munlcipali-
ties. 1t is a mistake, however, to delay
the appeal for statehood until the mu-
nicipal organization is completed.
At best the State Of Hawaii is long
way off, much more distant in fact by
virtue of the Islands having come un-
Hawaii is not in practically the same
time as Porto Rico and the Philippines.
Try as We may, it will be difficult to
convince the people of the States that
Hawaii Is not in virtually the same
category as the other new posses
sions." The Territorial executive in its
constant friction with Federal authorl-
ty has not helped the cause, and few
voters of the Mainland or Congress-
men for that matter, realize the occa-

Some people seem to think the Ter
ritory is going 10 the eternal bow wo-s
because members Of the Legislature are
indulging in frequent parliamentary
scrimmages. Fear not gentlemen. The
country will exist many years after
this Legislature adjourns and possibly
witness more exciting occasions. An
ordinary Republican caucus can fur
pish more heated and acrimonious de-
bates in one night than the Legislature
has produced in week. And as for
dignity. who ever heard of partisans
being dignihed except when on parade
and doing a ceremoniOus act.

The Kapiolani Tract ex-
tends from King street to the
Beach. A road 90 feet wide
will be opened on the east
side of the property adjoin-
ing the Kamehameha Girls
School; said road will ex-
tend to the sea.
Crossroads will beopened
between blocks. Every lot
will have a frontage on a
road. The elevation varies
from forty feet high to ten
feet high above sea level.
No swamps around the
premises. No freShet will
enter the property.
There is an offer to buy a
part of the property by a
great manufacturing COM
pany. The chances are the
offer may be accepted. There
is every reason to believe
that the prices of lots will in
crease in a short time. The
owner of the property will
give all chances to purchaS-
erS to make money on their
investments.
The ground is superior to
any tract in the market.
The premises are situated
within one mile and a half of
the Postoffice.
The Government water
pipes are laid along the upper

FIRE LOSSES INCREASING.

Insurance men will have no cause for
sclf-congrarulatlon over the tire losses
of 1900. These losses are still incivas-
ing, though not at quite 50 rapid II rat"
as in preceding years. The total amount
Of property destroyed by tire during the
year now closing was Sl5S, OGj. 1908, an
increase of ST,52S, 5:iS over 1879. The
fires Of 1900 in which the loss was
Sl0O.UU0 or more reach total of $50

was under that figure aggregat" ST.

hing to contemplate. In 1896 the to-
tai was Sill ,SjG,M7: in 1897, SlaO,TI,-

the present rate the people of the Unit

more than the whole national debt.
That amount Of value goes up in smoke
as completely as If 50 many millions in
gold We're thrown into the sea. The loss

the method of insurance, but 1t Is none
the less loss. The Insurance cOmpa.
