Municipal Mismanagement.
(NorfOlk Virginian-Pilot

found IN the civilized world is
that OF the average American
city. So true IS this that when
occasionally, in the mutations Of
politics. and American city is.
for a while, decently governed,
it is a matter for amazed COM
ment and inordinate pride
among citizens.
4 State is occasionally cursed
with a corrupt, extravagant and
inefficient government. The
city nearly always IS. And the
corruption. and extravaganza
and inefhciency grow and wax
with the City's growth. The
levylng of taxes, the lettering
OF contracts, the granting OF
franchises, go by favors. and in
not one city in ten will these
transactions bear the public
light. Nearly every one of them
are attended with a rake off,
direct or indirect tcr somebody.
When we examine the person.
mel OF the average city govern
ment, we are not surprised that
this should be the case. We
rather wonder that things should
be as we'll as they are. The
men who govern the American
city are rarely ever representa-,
tive of its intelligence, its NOR
ALLY, its property or It's progress
slve spirit. Only too often they
make business of politics and
politics Of business. From this
sort of regime what is to be ex>
pected?
And what is the underlying
cause, what the remedy, for this
condition of affairs The cause
is the indifference or Ignorance
chiefly ignorance-of citizens
The one is, OF course, productive
of the other. The intelligent
citizen, who is fairly we'll versed
in State and national affairs,
knows next to nothing of the
affairs of his own city, If he
knows 1t is being lRis9overned.
it IS rather a matter OF general
impression than Of specific
knowledge. The net result is
that the average city can be
misgoverned with inpunity for
a reach of years, until finally
wave of reform strikes it. and it
is turned over to the hands Of
honest but impractical men, who
make as bad a job of it from
ignorance or excess Of zeal as
their predecessors did of wllltul
intent.
We are inclined to believe
that tue National Municipal
League, at its recent session at
Rochester, suggested the best
remedy for these conditions, to
wit: Instruction in Municipal
in American col
leges. We should go even turth
er aud say that instruction III
the rudiments Of Municipal
governnet should be given i'll
the high schools of cities and III
the public schools. \ course OF
instruction IL Munich pal govern
ncnt would be vastly more irD
portant and practical than some
Of the branches to which the
student now devOteS two or three
years.
In nearly all the city schools
and high schools and ali colleges
instruction in civil government
is now given. This cou.d, with
out difficulty, be supplemented
by a course in Municipal govern
ment, and we believe the ultl-
mate result would be distinct
lessening of the abuses which
now abound in the government
IF our cities.

BEAUTIFUL WOMEN.

The ideal beautiful woman OF
the painters is a blonde, EV@
Venus, Helen of Troy, all the
celebrated beauties OF antiquity
and mythology are invariably re
presented as blondes. Only
Cleopatra escaped 1t
Tie reason IS, 70 doubt, that
the very coloring Of the blonde,
her far, white skin, her light
blue or gray eyes, suggest IN her
the possession, the EN- bodlm cnt
of all that is womanly. The
blonde is the woman par excell~
tuCe.
Some women declare that
blonde appeal to the Imagination,

brunettc5 to the senses; that the
former are sentimental. sweet,
modest, goo1~tempered, obed-
lent, angelical, where brunetteS

| have known brunettes to be
DerleCt angels, and sweet blondes
to be perfect little devils, and SO
have we all.
However this may be, most
women desire to be blondes, and
the proof Of it is that, whereas a
blonde never dyes her hair black
many brunrttes dye theirs gold,
blond ceudre, light mahogany
and other hues of the blonde
family. On the stage the ladies
of the ballet and the chorus wear
blond wigs, and the only posi-
Bile reason to give for this is that
managers believe they will look
more attractive to the audience
as blondes than as bruuettes,
In the modern melodrama the
ingenue is blonde and the adyen

from SIS to $50 a month each. J. Kani-
kau was, according to the witness, an
especially favored man; he was on the
pay rolls getting $50 a month ana he
always drew 1t. Frequently this man
had been employed at $3.50 a day in adj
dition to his regular salary to repair the
pipe of the water system.
Inca made some rather sensational
charges regarding politics in the settle
ment. Charles Walnut was the luna in
charge of eXterminating lantana he
said. When the gang would go to work
Walnut would ask them their political
afiiliation and If they did not answer
that they were Republicans they were
told to put down their tools, they were
Republican tools said the luna The
men were told they could go to Robert
Kaaoao the Home Rule leader and get
jobs. Robert Kiaana the witness said
he had been treated in this way. Unea
also declared that the wife of Freary
was charging some of the leper 10 per
cent a month interest for lending
money On being called the lady who
is a leper, admitted the soft impeach-
ment and said that it was her own
money
Joseph Kahalehii who had been dis
charged said that on November list, the
overseer had made a statement to the
effect that the assistant superintendent
/ had told him the tools and jobs belong
ed to the Republican party and then
asked the witness to join that party.
Witness said he was an Independent
and was afterwards dismissed without
any cause. Overseer told them that If
he thought he would get any benefit
from joining the Independents to go
and get money and jobs from that
party. William Kaleiheana corrobora-
ted this testimony. Witness also said
that David KahauleliO who had run for
member of the house on the Republi-
can ticket had been allowed to come IN
to the settlement and campaign during
the last election
After the investigation in the after
noon the committee called upon Freary
who was too i'll to appear and give
hinr an opportunity of making any
statements. He denied all of the num-
erous charges against him and said
that wharever he had done had been
pursuant to the orders of either the
Board of Health or Mr.. Reynolds.
The committee which investigated
the water system came to the c6nclu-
sion that a change would have to be
made and a new system of pipe laying
be done between the two reservoirs.
An investigation was held at Kala-
wac Saturday morning. The hearing
was attended by the inmates of the
| Baldwin Home Some of the worst
cases in the settlement are perhaps to
be found in Kalawao and one of the
first demands made was for the pres
ence of a competent physician. The
charge was also made that there had
been politics done before the last cleo
ton. Another matter which the lepers
wanted to have determined was that of
ownership of property and effects. They
asked that they go to the wives and
children or other relatives of deceased
! and not be sold by the Board of
| Health.
