he wished to within the rules OF the
management OF the ball, but we
cannot understand how the directors
or the managers OF the Museum
could permit The use OF the hstori-
cal cloak for sT-h an occasion. The
Hawaisns justly consider it an in
suit. especially as the use OF
feather cloak was refused by the
Trustees, at the funeral of the late
lamented Princess Kaiulaui. We
have investigated the matter aud
people who know all about the
treasures of the late Aiis OF Hawaii
assert positively that the cloak
mentioned, was used at the ball, and
they are ready to personally say 30
to the directors of the Museum, il
those gentlemen can risk an irvesti.
CATION. We understand that there
are few cloaks OF the kind in ex.
istence, but the one used was immi-
diatsly recognized by the Hawaiian
ladies, familiar with these relicts of
Hawaiian "savagery," an expression
we believe tho custodian of the
Museum used, when he "Gred" out
some highly respected Hawaiian
ladies from the grounds of Pauahi's
granc Ii: stitut, n. If that cloak
was used, az our correspondent says,
the man who did it committed an
offence, which in the eyes OF
the law might be trifing be-
cause the cloak is of course re-
turned, but which in the eyes OF the
Museum should mean the dismissal
of their employees, and, in the eyes
OF Hawaians, the expulsion from
their homes of men who in such
manner would commit an act, which
to all patriotic Hawaiians must
stand near to sacrilege. We are
ready to assist the trustees in the
Investigation which undoubtedly
should be made, and we trust that
it can be proven that our inform
ant is in the wrong, and that at all
events the outrage was not COM
mitted with tho sanction Of the
trustees.

TOPICS OF 7HH DAY.

Accidents from needless driving
are reported every day. We have
very narrow atreets, very many car
riages and the most imbecile drivers
ever known in the civilized world,
Let us have q municipal govern
ment which will make few cast iron
rules prohibiting drays from smash
ing buggies; buggies from smashing
cyclers; and the wheelers from
knocking down pedestrians who are
hardly safe on sidewalk. BY the
way, the Superintendent of Public
Works or whoever is in charge Of
our streets must have some wheels
in his head What is the idea of
allowing tho building OF sidewalks
at the same time on both sides OF a
narrow but important thoroughfare
like King Street. And yet every
thing is blocked outside Kawaiahao
Church as far as pedestrians are
concerned for the present, but then
of course the Taxpayers provide bug
gies for the officials and taxpayers
have no business not TO own car

Though the foregoing extract is
from the Washington, d. G., Post, of

scarcely credit it. Surely there must
be some mistake about it? Booker
II. Washington is a most respectable
colored man, the head of the Tuskegee,
Alabama, Institute, but he is colored,
and the South, at least, is not pre-
pared for social equality, the blend
ing of the races in social functions

When Cleveland invited Fred Douglas
to White House reception, which
was probably accidental because
Douglas was an office-holder and the

Southern people, at least, will be
curious to know if at this, the first

IT Is quite natural that man of
President RoOsevelt's temperament
and love for the strenuous life should
be in favor OF army improvements
and putting the navy on an equality
with that of the other "world
powers. Under existing conditions
we believe that the President is right
SO far rs his views in respect to the
navy go. Recent years have wrought
marked change in the responsibility
OF the government. We have ac-
quired new territory, and with 1t
come additional obhgationsu
1t is our duty TO meet such obliga-
tions and extend to these newly ac-
quired peoples all necessary protec-
ton in the exercise of their rights as
American citizens. This phase OF
our political status seems now to De
generally accepted by both OF the
great parties. 1t is apparent that
our colonial policy renders an en-
larged navy desirability, if not an
expediencv. With a depleted Treas
urv the one would still be true, if not
the other. But with an enormous
surplus in the Treasury, as we have,
il would not be unwise III the govern
ment to enlarge the navy and equip
it with the latest improvements OF
modern wariarein order that we may
be prepared, should the emergency
arise, to successfully cope with the
other Powers of the world. Certain
it is that with our expanded territory
and far-separated possessions Il
larger army and navy are needed
than when our possessions were more
circumscribed and our territory con-
tiguous. The army has been sutii-
GENTLY increased, and we are inclined
to the opinion that President Roose-
welt will receive the support OF all
prudent men should he undertake
plans for the enlargement OF the
navy.
