National Divorce Law.

The bill introduced into Con
sress by Representative L. ".
Taylor, of Ohio, proposing to
give Congress the power to enact
national marriage and divorce
laws, has caused considerable com-
ment. In speaking of the matter
the New York Herald says:
The subject is an old one,
but of vital concern to the people.

The most dcspicable of all men
is the traitor to his country. The
name of Benedict Arnold is still
held up as synonymous with all
that is vile in this connection. An
American contractor and owner of
boats at Manila, one D. M. Car
man, has recently been discovered
in aiding the Filipino insurgents
by furnishing them supplies. If
he is found guilty of the charge he
deserves the severest punishment,
even though the legislatures of
Missouri and Arkansas may ap-
pland such acts.

THE VOLCANO ROAD.

We cordially concur In the view Of
Hilo that, IL there IL any public money
to spend on roads and bridges In the
Territory, that city and the island
about 1t should ret their share. Hilo
needs better streets the same as Homo
lulu and some Of it's thoroughfares
should be w'd"r,d. But " hen II comes

cellrnt volcano road Il scrnl respect

II does not need an engineer to tell
whether q road is good, bad or indif-
ferent; any observant traveller knows.
At the conclusion of the great storm a
month ago the writer passed over the
volcano road between Hilo and the
Volcano house twice. The stage did not
lose five minutes in schedule time either
way. The loads Of people going up. in
Guiding ladies', were not too fatigued
when they reached the Volcano house
to go at once on horseback to the crat-
er. There were no detentiDns en- route
no washouts on the way; no gullies or
debris. As whole the road was bet
ter than any California grade we ever
saw no. excepting the one running up
to Lick Observatory.
But now comes the lIilo Tribune de-
manding from $4,000 to $50, 900 to repair
this highway-from over $1,000 to nearly
$1,000 per mile. Every one who has
been over the road lately knows that
such an ppropriation would be sheer
extravaganza, If not an incentive to
steal. For ourselves, we can see no
object in making the s35 900 to $50, 600
demand save TO induce an extra SESSION
of the Legislature. We admit that $50,
900 could be spent on the highway. So
could 100000. But It is not expected
that IA mountain grade will call for such

point, whence the passenger will go 10

Nothing could be more impertinent
than to say that the friends of Mr.. Dole
are not in n Republican majority here.
That they did not sweep the primaries
is due to the fact that the Home Rul"
party, few of whom could talk English
and all of whom were both anti-Repub-
Iican and anti-American. came to the
rescue OF the minority and colonized the
polls. In one precinct three times as
many votes were cast for the minority
delegates than were deposited after
wards for the Republican nominee for
Congress. To provide for the repetition
of this fraud the convention controlled
by the anti-Dole minority voted down a
resolution declaring that no one but Re-
publlcans may vote at a Republican
primary. 1t was significant of the
weakness of the fraudulently ascendant
faction that they had to come to the
majority to get money enough to run
the campaign and were even ready to
sacrifice the fatted calf in the person of
one of the editors of the Bulletin. for
the sake of a fund. We believe that
