An ,Appreciasise Landlord.

Milwaukee, Senunel4~
 Last fall the occupant of rented cot tage on Upper Western Avenue, wishing to add to the comfort of his home and at the same time improve the appearance Of the place, conceived the idea--a rather unusual one for a tenant-of digging & cellar and putting brick foundation un- der the house. All winter he devoted his spare moments-in the morning, in the evening and on Sundays-to the work of excavation. and when the job was com pleted he proceeded to erect the founda- ton.
 The next time the landlord called to collect the rent he was much surprised at the change in the appearance of his place.
 This is quite an improvement" said he to his tenant. avn-
 '.Yes it is," replied the latter. Well. l felt as though I wanted little more room and. as I had little spare time. l concluded to add a basement to the house"
 tat certainly makes quite a difference in the looks of the place." said the land lord, "and ought to make the property more valuable In view of this fact 1 sup pose will have to raise the rent You may have the house at the old price until the 1st of May, but after that l must ask you to pay me A more"
 This was more than the tenant had looked for, and the landlords rem4rks took him completely by surprise. As he likes the place and does not care 10 move, lie is now wondering whether he can com pei the landlord to pay him for the labor and time spent in improving the place.

Louisville, Ky, May Al Welnig F Buffalo was knocked ont tonight by Jo' Choynski of Chicago before the Empif Athletic Club in the sixth round of on of the fiercest bouts ever fought in thu city. Both men were forced to take |. severe drubbing and Wcnig's defeat cam after a display of Gameness rarely equal ed in the prize ring. Twice in the siXd round he was knocked to his knees bs Choynski's hard rights and lefts to thi jaw, but each time nc came up ready for more punishment. He was too dazed. however to defend himself and Choynsll finally beat him down. landing him against the ropes unable to move. It was several minutes before he was able to rise and even then he was badly dazed fof when ChoynsR attempted to shake hands with him WeiniG squared off ready i'd continue fighting, unconscious that he had been counted out. Prior io the sixth round Wenig seemed 10 have the best of the bout and in the third round the bell was all that saved Choynski from a knockout.

MUNICIPAL
SYSTEMS
A Correspondent on the
Issue of the
Period.
Maui, Aug. i. 1902.

Maui, Aug. 1, 1902.
Editor Advertiser:-Sir: It is mat
ter of some surprise to me that tn
proposed city and county government
scheme Of the Home Rule parties re
ceives SO little attention from thos
most interested. Except on the groun,
of increased expense to the tax-paye
nobody seems TO object to the plan
There are. however, other aspects o
the proposition which ought to be con
sidered.
The American political system is mo-
in itself guarantee of good govern.
ment. For it's excellence or its fault.
it depends entirely upon the quality
of its citizenship. Where the stand
ard of citizenship is high, there repre-
sentative government achieves its
greatest success. Where the stand
ard is low, home rule too often
degenerates into organized robbery. 1t
is well to remember that the American
system is merely an expression of the
collective American character; and
that under it. Americans and those
who think as Americans, have pros
pered marveIous1y.
Whatever the merits of American
ism, its weakest point is in municipal
administration. In national and rural
politics it works very well; in state
and county affairs less we'll, and in
the administration of cities it's failure
is often complete. With the exception
of Washington, no large city in the
United States is without its history Of
corruption, official thievery and or
ganized exploitation of the taxpayer.
Municipal rule in the United States is
notorious the world over for dishonesty,
extravaganza and incompetence. In
England, Germany and
Russia, and in the pseudo-republic of
France, clean. honest and economical
government is the rule;
while in free America municipal mis-
rule is one of the foulest blots upon
the page of her history. To such an
extent do the American people admit
This that recent city charters centralize
the administrative power in the mayor
and hold him strictly responsible for
It's use or abuse.
The territory of Hawaii is now in
of an administrative system
which. whatever it's defets. is free
from precisely those evils from which
America suffers most. 1t is centralized,
but efficient and economical; If is
somewhat autocratic. but amenable to
IN enlightened public opinion True,
he various pushes and gangs to
whom a public office is a personal and
private graft are debarred from the
public funds, but that is a matter for
'ejoicing- This system. slowly built

instruction in the schools practical and

mentals. special emphasis is laid upon

citizenship. Carpentry printing, agri-
culture. homework, sewing lace-mak-

ment of the Territory the Board of
Education will be glad to consider it
Normal schools are maintained for
the better preparation of the teaching
force, and the salaries paid are suffi-
cient TO attract competent and con-
scientious instructors. Teachers hold
their positions under virtual civil ser
vice rules. Yet, the voice of a COM
munity can make itself heard in the
matter of the employment of desir-
able teacher. or in the transfer or dis
missal of an undesirable one. In it's
administrative features our system re-
sembles that of Greater New York
which represents the most advanced
ideas OF the day.
Yet, with its record of achievement
in the past. it's adaptation to the needs
Of the present, and its promise of USE
fulness for the future, our school sys-
tenn is marked for destruction. Both
branches of the Home Rulers have de-
clared against it and the other parties
say no word for il. Under the pro-
posed city and county bill each locality
will manage or mismanage its own
schools. Confusion will take the place
OF organizations: experience will give
way for experiment; ability in teach
ing Will be sHbordinated to political in
fiuence. In the great majority of
school districts such men as could be
elected to the local school board are
absolutely ignorant of school manage
ment. They will necessarily be gov
erned by personal and race considera-
tions. Totally destitute of American
motives and ideals, they will operate
their schools among peoples partly
hostile. partly Indifferent to education
Under such circumstances it is easy to
foresee the complete collapse of public
and the utter waste of pub
lie funds devoted to it.
1 have confined myself TO the more
general and obvious features of the
situation. Any interested person, who
is in the least familiar with matters
