"Much excitement prevails here

FAST TRAVEL.

Three weeks between London and
sydney seems a short time to cover a
long distance, but the suggestion, as
made by the Oceanic Steamship Com
pany, analyses well. 1t is now ten
days at the minimum between London
and San Francisco, but this time, it Is
believed, VIII be materially cut down
by improvements in the carrying serv-
ice. Turbine steamships, II they realize
expectations, will cross the Atlantic in
three days ana a half. The railroads
hope to cut down the trip from New
York to San Francisco, per limited
trains, to the same time making one
week between London and San Fran
cisco, and leaving two weeks for the
voyage to Sydney under present con-
ditions of steam transportation. OF
course IL turbine steamers do we'll on
the Atlantic their use on the Pacific
will not be long delayed.
Such vessels would also shorten the
voyage round the world to such an eX-
tent that one could take ii as an Incl
dent of n summer vacation. The trans
Siberian railroad expects to reach, with
the aid of steamships and foreign rail
roads as now run. a schedule of thirty
two days 1t with the turbine system
on the water and limited trains on the
land, one may yet be able to make the
grand tour in twenty-five days.
Things move fast in these times. 1t Is
but few years ago that Jules Verne
eighty-day trip seemed to be the ulti-
mate achievement.

ABRAHAM LINCOLN.

Abraham Lincoln, whose birthday
occurs on this date, is regarded abroad
as the foremost statesman whom the
American people have given to the hon
or roll of the world. In all European
countries respect for him is unfeigned,
not less so in lands where an aristo-
cratic spirit prevails and where Satan
is called the first democrat" than in
countries the Institutions of which are
liberal and progressive. Little as there
may be of sympathy among foreigners
of rank and culture with the class
from which Lincoln sprang, or with the
vital aims of his policy. yet the fact
that this man was, by nature, a polit-
iCal leader and architect fit to take his
place with the sovereign lawgivers of
history, is one which lacks no accept
ance among the royalty and nobility of
the old world. The place of the war
President is secure in the pantheon
where 'humanity's colossal figures stand.
The influence of Lincoln upon the
history of the world already prodg-
ious, cannot but be lasting. We hazard
little when we say that his millennial
birthday will have the same observ-
ance in this land, nine hundred and
more years hence, that King Alfred 3
lately had in England. Whatever the
United States may achieve as a world
power will date from Abraham Lin
coin; for 1t was he who put the steel
bands of the Constitution about the
integrity of the Union, and changed
our system from a dissoluble partner
ship of sovereign States to the indis-
soluble entity OF sovereign nation.
Because he did that the United States
is a power of the first rank; because he
did that the sun no longer sets on our
dominions because he did that the
time will come when no significant
move will be made in world politics
without considering the attitude and
interests of the American republic

THE BEER LICENSE DECISION.

Judge Estee's decision in the liquor
cases appears to be good law. 1t is not
common sense to suppose that any
Territory can enforce IA protective tar
if act-which is what the Honolulu
brewery bounty statute really amounts
TON favor of its own products and
against those of any other part of the
United States. We take it as a mat
ter Of course that Judge Estee's decis-
ion will be sustained.
In the meantime those who brought
the license action may or may not res,
content; but it is to be presumed that
the Anti-Saloon League will feel II
duty bound to begin proceeding
against all saloon keepers who are
selling beer on the authority of a law
which the Federal court has decl red to
be unconstitutional. So much l.
threatened; the only question in the
way being whether the appeal If the
defendants constitutes an estoppel OF
such proceedings. Many lawyers say
it does not.
What the cause of temperance will
gain in the long run cannot be fore
seen. Should the next Legislature ster
in and enact beer license law of $3.50
which we understand to be the pro-
gram, not only would the Honolulu
brewery people take advantage of it
but the mainland brewers as well, thus
giving Hawaii more saloons than Il
now has, and perhaps starting a wal
that would reduce the price of beer tC
five cents a glass.
Obviously. therefore, the Anti-Saloor
League, II II expects to achieve sue
cess, should put in its best licks for {
good Legislature. The Dispensary bill
was killed by the last one, and then. t
prevent an investigation of the means

Cupid on the field of honor is not likely
to be satisfied. Though a descendant
of An African Prince, whose line goes
way back so far that it ends in a tail,
Mr.. Hogan does not carry his creden-
tails and cannot, therefore, meet Prince
Cupid's reasonable demand for n look
ut them. Hence the probability that,
though blood may boil, none of 1t Will
be spilled. This is to be regretted
from a scenic point of view as a duel
between men of the strain royal is so
infrequent as to make one to be covet-
ed by any winter resort which, like Ha-
wall, stands in need of attractive ad-
vertising,
