being rendered obsolete and dangerous by
the changes IN the building conditions. and
the multiplication Of dangers Of proximity.
After the Windsor Hotel burned. q year
or SO ago, very much the same state or
affairs was disclosed. 1t was shown then
that the building was obsolete In the most
important requirements Of precaution. The
floors and walls offered the widest possible
spread Of fire, although the Intervention OF
a few brick fire stops would have great
ly reduced the danger and. in the event OF
a fire, would have confined the confiagra-
tion to comparatively small portion Of
the building, or at the least checked the
rapidity of its spread.
1t Is seldom that the public learns Of Of
fetal Intervention to compel proprietors Of
hotels to adopt new precautionary agencies
II has been many a day since a hostelry
was condemned and destroyed by municipal
order. Few instances are on record of re-
construction In the interest of public safety.
Do not public officials take cognizance Of
these disasters as they do occur, and sweep
the horizon for chances to better the condi-
tions Of the hotels that remain intact7
In the case Of the Windsor Hotel horror
not a stroke In punishment was laid on by
the courts for the neglect Of somebody to
cure the palpable inadequacies OF that build
ing. Here Is a far more fragrant case OF
dereliction. virtually the basis Of a broad
charge Of manslaughter. besides indict-
ments for official neglect OF duty. New
York has taken a step In the right direction
In the case of the rapid transit tunnel dyna-
mite explosion. Will it teach a wholesome
lesson to all hotel proprietors and building
inspectors throughout the lam. by moving

republican structure which he and his col
leagues painfully reared In the Islands.
When the misguided natives placed this
factor in control Of the legislature Governor
Dole was required either to surrender the
archipelago deliberately to their mischiev-
Gus incompetency and their royaiist schemes
or to stand staunchly by the principles
which he had 50 long represented ana
which had been with Hawaii adopted by
the United States. He would have been
recreant to his trust had he yielded then
to secure the ease of pusillanimous peace
between him and the dominant legislative
party.
That he did not weaken, that he preserved
Hawaii from a scandalous regime Of mis-
government and corruption, Is now the
basis Of the charges against him, upon
which his enemies hope to secure his re-
moval from office. The very fact that he
and the so-called "Home-rulers" cannot
agree, averred as a reason for a change, Is
the strongest possible Endorsement OF his
administration for the good Of Hawaii
Governor Dole personally is willing enough
to retire from office. provided he can yield
to a successor capable Of maintaining the
territory upon a sound basis and Of safe
guarding its interests. But the white resi-

cording to "Kamehameha's" letter to The
Star. has summoned Mr.. George Carter to
Washington for consultation. It is evi-
dent that Mr.. Carter, while worthy to be
summoned In council Of conference. will
not prove a reliable sole adviser upon Ha-
waiian affairs. His prejudices. possibly his
own ambitions, prevent him from being en-
tirely acceptable as the Warwick Of the
situation. II the President wants light
upon Hawaiian affairs he should summon
here the men Of highest standing in the
islands. including Governor Dole himself,
who knows Hawaii probably better today
than most others and whose personal char
acter Is such that he Is surely at this eriti-
cal juncture entitled to be heard if not in
his own behalf. at least in behalf of the
Isle nds he loves and with the rescue Of
which he has been SO closely identified.

The Hawaiian Situation

kamehameha's' latest letter to The Star
printed In today's issue. clearly reveals the
state Of mind regarding the possibility OF
Governor Dole's removal on the part of
, those in Hawaii who stand for honesty and
effectiveness OF administration. for prog
ress and for peace. These are the men
who, with Governor Dole at their head.
successiyely and successfully opposed the
elements which would have held Hawaii In
the mire Of corrupt royalism. They are the
men who secured annexation, and who.

the United States. at the peril virtually of

He Is advised of course that this Is bu.

warmest friends may justly be a little so
licitous to the condition of his right

he should take the chances, for he will not

Manslaughter by Inattention.

The latest holocaust reported from New
York has been followed by the customary
investigation into the cause and RESPONSE
bility, and the inquiry has brought the
usual revelation that there was gross in
difference to the ordinary precautions to
protect life. The hotel building was a
quarter of a century old, and though ex-
celient in It's day was antiquated. Judged
"fireproof' when built 1t was a veritable
fire trap under modern conditions Trust
ing to its original reputation, the managers
neglected to arouse the guests when fire
broke out in an adjoining building, and
nearly score were killed in consequence
There were no fire escapes, no safety ropes
In the rooms. no fire proofing around the
elevator shafts, no fire hose in sthe corri-
dors, not even fire bucket. Evidently the

The Manhattan Club Dinner.

There was some very pretty and harm
less generalizing at the Manhattan Club
dinner In New York Saturday night. Har-
mony was the watchword. and nobody Of
Tended. Every shopworn political platitude
was mustered for service. I'VE must get
together" was the cry. but nobody showed
the road national platform constructed
out of the suggestions offered would be a
curiosity Of political literature and the jest
OF practical men everywhere. There Is
little risk In the prediction that no such
platform will be constructed by the demo-
Gratis In 1904. They may not deliver them
selves In the boliest way, but they are rea-
sonably certain not to make Jack Busby"
chairman Of the committee on resolutions
Il would be better for them In the end to
say the wrong thing than to say nothing.
David B. Hill and Mayor Collins of Boston
uttered the only two things worthy of serl-
Gus attention. Mr.. Hill declared that New
York would be the battle ground in 1904,
which. In effect, was also to declare that
New York must give to the democracy it's
candidate. Mayor Collins. as in reply, said
this:
From our New England experience, we
stand by our ancient principles of nomi-
Rating the best democrat wherever he lives
The party as whole will rally to him and
The BQstonian ought to have known that
IL any definite purpose Is to be deserted on
the democracy's horizon at this time that
purpose is. to return If possible to the old
arrangement which prevailed between 1868
ard 1896. by which New York as the tail
waeged the party dog. The south is ready
again to efface herself at the nominati ting
convention, and for that matter so is New
England. and let New York have her way
about the candidate and very great deal
about the platform. The talk therefore
about nominating the best democrat
wherever ne lives is moonshine. There is
no doubt about his residence. He lives in
New York, and the difficulty now Is about
picking him out.
But this difficulty is Of considerable pro-
portions and it is even now In evidence

Federal Territorial Judges.

From all that the public knows Of the
facts. Attorney General Knox's report to
the President upon Judge Noyes Of the
Alaska circuit Is eminently proper and the
Presidents expected Endorsement Of the
recommendation Of dismissal will doubtless
meet with the approval Of the country.
Having given an earnest Of his desire to
purge the territorial judiciary, the Presi-
dent should next turn his attention to
Judge Humphreys of Hawaii, who has
clearly proved his judicial unfitness and
whose interference in island politics has
further diminished his usefulness as q
Judge.
