"AMERIcANIsMUs."

The European world has for some time been dis
turbed at what It terms the AS1ericsn invasion.
The advances made by American commerce in the
European markets, the increased amount of exported
products OF American manufacture the progress in Eu
rope of American industrial enterprises of various
kinds have led many conservative statesmen and jour
nails OF Europe the opinion Of Mr.. w. 7 Stead the
London journalist that Europe is in danger of being
Amercanized.
The Kreuz zeitung of Berlin has been recently dis
Guessing length what it calls "Americanismus" coin
ing a word according to Teutonc custom and the ge-
MUS of the German language "Amercanismus" it
is defined by this paper is the ncessant exclusive and
ruthless strife after property and wealth THE Euro
pean acquires to live, this article. "The North
American lives in order to acquire The for
wealth oyerwhems all other striving. Millonares
admired The measure OF social attainment is purely
and simply money. Even in the liberal and radical
camps such Amercanzaton of the old world, and
especially of Germany, would not be deemed adj
vance but actual backward step in civilization"
The Kreuz Hetung Is not the only European paper
which has taken this view. The Correspondent of
Paris however, comes to defense. 1t is a gross
mistake article in that paper argues, to assume
that the United States has wholly material civiliza-
ton. The Correspondent proceeds to point out our
achievements in poetry fiction philosophy criticism,
painting, sculpture, music and religion

Some months ago, speaking of the
matter to newspaper man, Mr.. Altman
said:

The principal business Of the after
noon was the presentation Of the re-
port of the committee appointed to
consider the question Of a system OF
charges. This report was presented by
Chairman Warehouse.
II was recommended that the meter
system be extended. Figures were
submitted showing that 81 per cent OF
the cities OF the United States use the
meter system Of charges for service.
II was shown further that while the
rates charged there varied from to
90 cents, the average price Of coal was
S296 per ton, and the maximum was
W a NOhs mo piuNOu oboihoN tho
local price of coal at So a ton, and the
price of current at % cents.
While the prices varied, there was a
fat rate provided by law which was
at the option OF the user. The state
ment was also made that with an in
stallatlon of $1,000 lights there was
machine capacity for but IL 900. This
meant that should the city be placed on
fiat rate basis there would be about
one-third enough power for the use OF
the consumers. In the event of every

his lamps there would not be suffi-

The conclusion reached by the COM
mittee was that there should be, no
change in systems but that the mf ers
should be used everywhere possible.
The report was accepted and tho re-
concentrations adopted.

MERCHANTS ACTIVE
ON CITY SANITATION
Resolution Adopted Ask
ing Help of Federal
Government.
LOCAL BOARD HAS NO
MONEY FOR The WORK
Geo. Smith Gives His Views Ol
Situation - Report on Con.
ference With Shipping
Men.

A meeting of the Merchants Asso.
citation was held yesterday afternoon
for the purpose of considering the
matter of cleansing the city. This
special meeting was very largely at
tended, President Dimond presiding.
The question of Federal health con-
troll was brought up George w. Smith.
who spoke very earnestly concerning
health conditions here at the present
time. He also told of the passing
need OF sanitation along lines which
would leave no chance for the en-
trance into the city Of epidemic dis
eases,
The speaker went on to say that
the Board of Health possesses the in.
clination to go on v the work so
much needed but that there was a
lack OF funds. There should be sys-
tematic fumigation of warehouses and
wharves, sink holes and swamps
should be filed up. insanitary locn'
tons should be rendered sanitary. The
Treasury has no money for this pur'
pose and the merchants cannot AFFORD
to contribute the necessary amount
for they have already suffered enough.
Inc reports Of the successful work Of
the United States Government In Ha-
vana, in the Gulf cities of the Main
land all leads to the hope that like
good work can be done in Honolulu.
Mr.. Smith went on to say that there
could be no objection raised which
should be sufficient to stop work when
the Washington Government was in
the saddle, and the utmost that the
people could do would be ~ assist in
the work. The opposite lght be the
course il the local board should under.
take the task of cleansing the city.
These remarks and others by mem.
bers of the association were called
forth by a resolution proposing that
the United States Government be re-
quested to take charge Of and regu'
late the sanitary conditions of the city
OF Honolulu and the shipping ports OF
the Territory.
When the discussion had been com.
pleted. the resolution was unanimous.

Chairman Smith presented his re-
port on the conference held by the
committee on transportation with the
officials of the local steamship com
