the investment and as fast as they
were completed they would have com
menced to earn money. The school
houses not only leave a large number
of children under most inconvenient
circumstances, but preclude a very
large number of children from school
privileges entirely.
1t IS true that the passare of such
bills might not have resulted i'm the
work being done because the money
might not be forthcoming. but if it
should be forthcoming it could be used
and much time saved. Now it is Ger
tain that improvements in either of
these directions cannot take place for
two years. OF course this is short
sighted policy or rather no policy at
all. But then the whole history of the
LEGISLATURE of 1901 is a history of lack
of policy and it is too late in the day
to make any further comments upon
that. But the responsibility lies upon
the Legislature and the Legislature
only, and when the next election comes
round the lesson will have been thor
oughly learned. as to where the respon-
sibility lay, and much Legislative gas
and hope will be cut off

Cutting down salaries suddenly, with
out'any warning has worked hardship
upon men employed in many depart
ments Of the government. The men
working on the odorless excavators and
the garbage carts are not the only suf-
ferers. The action of the Legislature
was utterly thoughtless as all it's acts
were. 1t never seemed to occur to any
one that men had been engaged at GER
tain figures. and that common honesty
demanded that these men should be
given at least a chance to look round.
No the cut was made promptly and
came in the middle Of a month, part
OF which had been worked at old rates.

PROCRASTINATION.

The House has developed a desire to
examine the unpaid bills in committee
and has thus added another day to the
session. The Senate had hoped to finish
up all business by this afternoon. The
work may be finished tomorrow but
then again it may not, and discussion
may be prolonged into next week. That
there are men i'm the House who would
willingly carry on the session to it's
limit, and then do nothing is very GER
tain The question is whether they can
bring a few others to their way of
thinking. The sending of the bill to
committee was step in this direction.
The public will soon see whether this
step is to be followed by others. The
whole matter depends upon a vote or
two.
1t is unfortunate that while the two
Houses were considering the payment
of the back debts, they did not also
take up the other items in the Cover
nor's message, and at least provide a
chance for the remunerative works
proposed for the Department of Public
Works and for the school houses abso-
lutely needed by the people. The
wharves and other improvements would
bring in twenty per cent revenue upon
The Hawaiian star. [volume] (Honolulu [Oahu]) 1893-1912, 1901-07-26

The more detailed accounts of the
heat wave on the mainland are now
reaching us. One can hardly imagine
the conditions, living, as we do, in an
equable climate. But one does begin
to understand when one reads of thou
sands upon thousands of people leav-
ing the city and going down to Coney
Island to- sleep on the sand At the
Battery five thousand men and women
slept nightly on the grass, and every
pier on the water was crowded with
sleepers. Such a condition of affairs is
unprecedented.

purify Manila, but it is hard to keep a
population of Orientals clean as to their

may be as serious as it is in Hongkong.
OF course our own health authorities
are very careful about vessels coming
in from the Orient The America Maru
was detained yesterday on account of
a case of sickness which was carefully
watched before permission was given
to the passengers to come on shore.
