An American King.

Mrs. David O'Keefe, of Savannah,
Ga, though never herself queen, is
to enjoy substantial advantages from
the circumstance that her late hus-
band on being shipwrecked on a South
Sea savage island, set up as King of
zap and took to himself a dusky con-
sort in the person of the Queen of Dol
lyboy Island. King David of zap eX-
hibited as a royal parsonage a cannv,
albeit an adventurous and pleasure low
ing, character. He went into trade
his island subjects being free from
prejudices prevailing in Europe-built
fleet of schooners, made money and
put it carefully away in the British
bank at Hongkong. His widow-she of
Savannah-is now consoled for her
husbands long absence and untimely
demise by the prospect of a fortune of
half a million dollars lovingly devised
her by the deceased king. This is not a
plot for a comic opera; it is a plain
recital of a news story of the day.

ETHICS OF RESIGNATION.

This demand for resigna lions is at
variance with American policy and Is
therefore un-American.-Indep
Nothing of the sort. When Presi-
dent McKinley's cabinet met for the
first time after the accession of Presi-
dent Roosevelt, each department chief
handed his resignation to the new
Executive. The terms for which these
gentlemen had been confirmed by the
Senate had not expired; indeed they
had hardly begun. Yet each member
OF the Cabinet felt it to be his duty
as gentleman to leave President
Roosevelt with a free hand.
That is the American way and
the courteous way. Any man of
common civility will abide by it, here
as elsewhere. The Independent, it
seems, thinks that if the Hawaiian
heads of departments resign they will
not be reappointed and it urges them
to hold on at any cost. But the idea
has nothing but suspicion back of it.
So far as this paper is advised, Mr..
Carter realizes the need and the de-
STABILITY of having some Hawaiians
in control of departments and in dis
cussing the two now there he has,
while not committing himself either
to them or to white applicants
spoken no critical or unfriendly word
The Advertisers belief is that Judge
Kepoikai would be reappointed; its fear
is that even E. S. Boyd would not be
disturbed.

Rear Admiral Lamberton, who was
recently ordered to the command o.
the South Atlantic squadron, had To
proceed to his station from Washing
ton by way OF England. In comment
ing on the fact the Army and Navy
Journal says: The incident merely
illustrates the almost criminal neglect
by the United States Of its commercial
opportunities in South America. In
stead of acquiring our legitimate share
of South American trade, assuming a
place OF control in South American
finance and establishing direct steam
ship lines with South American ports,
we have foolishly allowed our Euro
pean competitors TO monopolize the
whole field SO completely that an officer
of the navy assigned to duty with the
South Atlantic squadron, in order to
reach his station in the speediest way,
is obliged to cross the Atlantic to
Southampton in foreign ship, and re-
cross it IL another foreign ship to
South America"

Hot Beecher Letter,

tor of the Outlook, which We're written
by Henry Ward Beecher is the follow
ing one, of which DR.. Abbott says:
1.-THE letter which follows I Judge he
never sent, since he was not accus-
toned to keep copies of his letters, and
this copy, in his own handwriting, is
in the correspondence"
Dear Sir:-I have received and read
your long and extraordinary letter. It's
false statements, its fierce arrogance,
it's base innuendoes can be charitably
construed only on one of two theories:
O That you are insane. or (2l That
you are lineal descendant of that ASS
on which Christ rode into Jerusalem,
and who ever afterward regarded him
self as an authority in all religious
matters; from him have come down
an innumerable posterity, eminent
among which think you stand"

TERRITORY vs.. COUNTY.

Secretary Carter, or Governor-Elect
Carter, as he should perhaps be styled,
has raised some interesting legal ques-
tons in connection with the loan and
appropriation bills.
Heretofore there has been no local
county or district government. The
central government has collected all
the revenue, and expended it at such
places ana for such purposes as the
Legislature has directed in the appro-
priation bills.
All of the local public utilities,
buildings and Improvements have
thus been built, owned an6&maintained
by the central government. Thus the
water works at Honolulu, Hilo, Wal
luku, Lahaina and several other places
have all been constructed and oper-
ated at the expense of the general
treasury.
The last Legislature created a series
of county governments, to come into
operation on January 1, 1904.
The Legislature recognized that Ter
ritorial responsibility ended as to sala-
ries Of officers who are to perform
county functions; for example, the
police, road authorities, tax officers,
&c, and only provided salaries for
these officers from the Territorial
treasury up to December 81, 1903, after
which they will have to look to the
counties for their pay.
The Legislature did not, however,
recognize the termination of Terrific
rial and the beginning of county re-
sponsibility in connection with the
construction of numerous public i'm
provements.
In fact, it constructed appropriation
bills for public improvements precisely
as though no division had taken place.
county buildings and other local i'm
provements being Unfortunately
provided for along with purely Terri
torial matters.
This mixture Of appropriations char
acterizes both the appropriations from
current revenue and from the loan
fund. No objection was made to this
procedure by the Governor, nor by the
President, when the loan bill and ac-
companying appropriation of the loan
funds were submitted for his approval
under the organic act.
For the first time the legality of
these appropriations is now cues
toned. Whether they are valid or not
is a question of the utmost impor-
lance, which should be settled as
speedily as possible. The courts are
the only authority which can give a
final decision in the matter, and the
sooner test case can be made up and
submitted for decision, the better for
all concerned

Great Britain is usually described as
Iand-swallowing power, but a recent
statement that she refused to buy Alas
ka when it was offered to her by Russia
at the price accepted afterwards by the
United States, shows that her appetite
is variable. Indeed, when one comes
to think of it, Great Britain has let
many good chance slip to extend her
empire Long ago the Philippines
could have been hers if she had chosen
to take them. Captain Cook might
have annexed Hawaii if he had wished
to and Admiral Thomas might have
kept it after it had been annexed by
one of Cooks naval successors. The
British flag was once planted in Cuba
but withdrawn. While Russia and Ger
many have seized large portions of
China Great Britain has contented her
self with slight footholds on the coast.
But a few years ago she let Germany
have Heligoland, an important sea out
post. So on the whole our English
cousins have as much right as Warren
Hastings had to be astonished at their
own moderation.
