The latest news shows that the cable
went out of San Francisco all right. 1t
is not very likely to have trouble en-
route, unless it be in the Molokai chan
mel where some extraordinary condi-
lions may be met. At the time the in
ter-island cable went to pieces there
it was found that the channels bottom
was mass of sharp edged lava stub
BILE over which the current set more
strongly than at the surface. Such a
Procrustean bed will test the toughest
fiber. However, if the cable doesn't
stand it there, landing can easily be
made at Waimanalo and the line
brought over the Pail to this city.

In dreams I may behold the Master s
face
AS He saw Gods, alone in Galilee;
But such supernal vision do 1 see
Only afar, in other time and place.
When fancy fain would know His gem

In this, our hard and ruthless century,
1t seems the Christ of mystic love
must be
For the warm East, not this cold alien
race.
Perchance lie may, through sympathy
divine.
Come to our cline in patient tolls
disguise:
Or else in modest knighthood, with high
powers
To lowliness TRANSPORTED, past sur
mise.
So might we see His matchless glory
shine,
AS his disciples saw-were their faith
ours.

knows it he has stepped off the edge
into steep water. The wheat pit is only
thirty feet across, but it reaches clear
down to He'll. And trading on margin
means trading on the ragged edge of
nothing. When man buys, he's buy

hasn't got. When a man sells, he's
selling something that he hasn't got.

which calls for sober judgment and
unity, II 1t be possible to secure such
blessing in this community.
It is possible to obtain united local
action for the appropriation of Federal
funds for Territorial use provided fac
tional politics are kept out of It, but II
is not possible to gain such ends If the
Governor and his friends take the op.
portunity to play their old fashioned
politics which has as a leading factor
the condemnation Of the electorate Of
the Territory.
The record of Governor Dole and the
Legislature is a record that speaks for
itself and the manner in which 1t is
viewed in Washington is expressed in
the dispatch to the Chicago Inter.
Ocean which reads thus;
"OfIlcials of the administration have
not been pleased with Governor Doles
course toward the Hawaiian Legisla.
ture, in which a majority is Of the ma
tive party. his action in some cases be-
ing considered almost high-handed."
The organ of the Governor may howl
"aborigines" and "plunder" to its
hearts content, but such silly truck
serves the one single purpose of de-
stroying general cooperation from all
classes and adds still more to the poll
teal bitterness which is today the
cause of Hawaii's chaotic condition
The Bulletin is aware that Thurston is
capable of using any means known to
Heaven or He'll for the accomplishment
of his purpose, but in this instance IL
he has any honest desire to reach the
purported aim of obtaining Federal
funds for the Territory he and those
with him will keep the Dole row and
the legislative row out of II.
There are two ways of meeting the
situation: by appealing to the Legisla-
tuer or appealing for the diversion Of
Federal funds to local uses. Every
taxpayer would naturally prefer that
the money come from Federal Golfers.

to and fight on entirely different

THE PRICE OF LIVING.

Andrew Carnegie's remark before
the young men of railroad branch
Y. NJ. G, A. that wages were steadily
tending upward and the price Of liv-
ing as steadily going down has
brought out wide spread discussion
throughout the press OF the Mainland
in which statistics are given to prove
Carnegie both truthful man and a
visionary idealist.
Dun's Review proves by careful
statistical table that the price of liv-
ing steadily advanced from 1897 while
the price Of wages did not increase in
the same ratio. The common sense
deduction from this table however, Is
that during good times men spend
more money for luXuries. When there
Is more money to spend the workman
Is not satisfied to exist on the hard
time fare. A Chicago paper comes to
the front with an endorsement of Car
negie citing as proof of his statements
the success OF large eating establish
ment that makes money selling meals
at five cents. Whatever the statisti-
clans may prove with their lists of
averages and estimates of the amount
OF provisions the average man con-
sumes, 1t must be admitted that, take
the country as a whole, the people who
work with their hands live better today
than they have been accustomed in
former years.
L This question of the cost of living
has never been matter of more i'm
portant moment in these Islands than
1t Is at the present time, when, despite
the assertions OF men OF wealth and
government officials, the working man
finds 1t necessary to figure more close
ly on household expenses than for
many year past. The average citi-
zen Of Hawaii is beginning 20 find out
what the necessities of life are and his
experience will be the exception to
the rule II he does not conclude that he
is able to obtain less for his money
of the United States.
Cheap eating places for workers or
business men are practically unknown.
Prices are not only high but
the money that would buy a
well cooked and wholesome meal in
any of the large cities of the States
secures as a rule comparatively
meagre repast and poorly cooked at
that, For the necessities Of food and
clothing required by average man and
woman in these Islands, we pay San
Francisco prices plus the freight and
middleman's profit and minus the
freshness of the product
The major portion of our meats,
provisions and fruits come from the
Coast and 1t stands to reason that
cheap food as known in Mainland
cities and country towns is an I'M
known quantity. Fresh eggs for in
stance are cheap at the present time
with the ruling price seven for a quar-
ter, The householder finds that while
his income is reduced by the hard
times of a tight money market, his ex-
penses are in no way lessened when 1t
comes to meeting his weekly provision
bill. The man who lives at restau-
rants also finds no reduction in the
price Of his meal tickets, and the price
of room rent fails to drop to the hard
time figure.
Honolulu probably presents a state
OF affairs in the price of living that
Evening bulletin. [volume] (Honolulu [Oahu, Hawaii]) 1895-1912, 1902-02-21
FAcTIoNALIsM WON'T DO 1T.

The program of obtaining financial
aid for Hawaii through the turning
back OF local Federal customs and in
ternal revenue collections for local use
is one that dates as far back as the Re-
publican Territorial convention. Con-
sidering the surplus that was expend-
ed during the plague epidemic and the
almost immediate transfer of the Gus
tom house to the Federal government
and the consequent loss of revenue,
the proposal made to Congress is en-
tlrely reasonable and just.
The present sanitary condition OF
Honolulu is not what 1t should be and
II is impossible to institute the thor
Oughgoing measures the situation de-
mands without money. The Terrific
rial Treasury is practically on the rag
ged edge OF bankruptcy.
These are conditions which men OF
all parties accept as self-evident facts.
It is therefore possible and in every
degree sensible TO approach the sub
ject from a thoroughly nonpartisan
basis.
Thurston's Advertiser, which is also
the official organ of the Governor, has
seen fit, however complicate the situa-
ton, to arouse antagonism and strife
where there should be none, by throw
ing its usual brickbat at the Legisla-
ture and endeavoring to play Dole poll
tiles when dealing with a condition
