The energetic manner in which the
Merchants Association is taking hold
OF the tourist question promises fair
measure OF the results that have for
80 many years been looked forward to
as possible but unfortunately not alto
gether probable. The possibilities for
tourist travel have seemed almost
without limit, but the town has lacked
the effective promotion which inspired
that confidence OF success which en-
lists enthusiastic support. The present
activity, however, is marked by bust
ness-like methods that ought to get our
own citizens together and get the much
sought tourist.

FIRST STEP IN MUNICIPAL PROGRESS
BY MRS. ANNA a. EAmEs.

In entering the field Of self-govern-
ment through the coming OF the new
charter, Honolulu takes the first step
toward placing herself in the line OF
the advance municipal movement of
modern cities
A picturesque group of diversified
colonies OF grass houses is one thing;
a charming sweep of breezy tropical
homes. with broad spaces Of sea. sun
shine and open field is an echo perhaps
OF far on Andalusia: but congested
areas Of formless. Heterogeneous settle
ments are something very different, al
though perhaps necessary phase OF
that town. which endeavors to assim-
ilate rapid increase of population, with
out the digestive apparatus of thor
ough, up-to-date organization
There remains in the minds Of level
headed men no longer any question as
TO the imperative value Of organiza-
ton in any effort working for the
greatest good OF the greatest number.
And this, stripped of all detail, is the
problem confronting the municipality
today. The greatest good of the great
est number, or, specifically. to give
light, pure air, good drainage, good
circulation by means of coherent street
systems; good health by perfection Of
sanitary conditions, general enlighten-
ment through public schools, public
| libraries. and concert halls. To lead
the people to beautiful upbuilding by
noble institutions of public works.
beautiful parks and avenues; to pre-
serve order and security all at min
! imum OF expense TO the people Is a
| problem to whose successful solution
modern municipal government points
/ in triumph
/ Effective municipal organization then
becomes the means OF doing the great
est good TO the greatest number, ano
effective municipal organization means
nawless charter. Good charters even
in these days OF character construction
and reconstruction are rare. Honolulu
should have no specific ambition &C
join the van of American cities which
are bound hand and foot by charters
which do not suit present or future
conditions. The wave Of municipal
renovation which has worked such re-
generating on the continent for the
past twenty years, has reached Amer
lea. and we being wiser by their exper'
fence, may profit by their mistakes
From the chaos Of construction and re
construction in charters, we may
come at two definite conclusions which
mark the demarcation from the spirit
and letter of the past. These are frs
THE modern tendency in municipal
administrations to the GENERALIZATION
of power, and the Capitalization Of re
sponsibility." Second, THAT the mu'

THE PACIFIC CABLE.
Picking Times.l


One Of the ablest books that ever
came from the pen of the late Mr.. Wal
ter Bagehot was Physics and Peli-
TICS" a work which under repellant
title deals with matters that intimately
concern human welfare. showing as II
does how the most abstruse questions
OF physical science react on and deeply
affect political and social life as they
slowly infiltrate the mass. The pres
ident OF the British Association has re-
Gently been dealing with the same
theme. showing how the profoundest
researches Of the scientists become In
short time the basis Of new indus
tries and vast aggregations OF wealth,
which in turn bring far reaching social
changes. No science has illustrated
this more than electricity. When Ger
sted discovered the. DETECTION OF a mag
netic needle under the influence Of an
electric current Il was apparently only
matter OF keen interest TO the few
master minds that were then on the
trail of an Elusive and uncanny science.
| No one ever dreamed that the discov-
cry was in the course Of half century
to issue in the contraction Of the whole
known world and 10 radically change
the nature of commerce, diplomacy
politics and many other aspects OF hui
man activity.
When the philosophic historian OF
the future enters on his examination
OF these times. the shrinkage OF the
globe In respect Of the human jewellers
thereon will probably be the most sal
lent feature of his summary. Though
steam has done much to this end, cleo
tricity has done far more and is yet
more full OF promise. Puck's fanci-
full conceit Of placing a girdle round
the earth is this week the most pro-
sale OF facts by the completion OF the
British Pacific cable. The feat is too
big TO be dismissed into the limbo OF
commonplace facts by two lines of
Reuter-; II portends too much both
commercially and politically. Bishop
Berkeley long ago told us that West
ward the course of empire takes Its
way" and the whole trend of mod
ern history shows that the center OF
human activity and power is travelling
round the earth like the sun. The fu-
ture commercial and political greatness
OF the Pacific is already in the air, and
men are by sort of intuition rather
than comprehension grasping the fact.
Young nations are in adolescence on its
shores, and old ones are trying to re-
new their yirility in its invigorating
political ozone. The United States,
British Australasia, the new Russia,
Japan, France, Germany are all there
already, and all have ambitions TO ex-
ercise predominating influence on its
waters. Most likely the strife will
finally be commercial, and perhaps
the greatest significance of the new
cable is that II has been called into
existence at the imperative behest OF
the British Colonies.
A far-seeing political prophet not
long ago said that England's Colonies
would yet rejuvenate her policy and
power, and no less a parsonage than
the Prince OF Wales recently carried

This years pension bill carries an
appropriation of $685. 800. This is
more than any Of the great military
nations pays in time of peace for its
whole military establishment. 1t is
curious to note, further, that the total
IS greater than for the current year,
Though the increase is slight, 1t shows
that the additions TO the pension roll
are still in excess Of any falling on,
although thirty-seven years have
passed since the last gun was fired in
the civil war, and there are more
names upon the pay roll now than
there were then.

the message across the sea that the old
country must wake up to meet the
new exigencies OF struggle in the keen
rivalries of nations. The new cable is
a case in point. We doubt in these
days of colossal trusts and CONNER
cial rigging II Il will bring all the
financial relief the Colonies hope to
: get from their tyrant. the old cable
company. but of its political and COM
mercial use in other ways there Is hap
PLY no doubt. 1t links up the Austral
Colonies and British America; its ter
mini and relays are all on British soil;
, and in the possible destruction OF 9TH
er cables in war time II gives us an
alternative route.
The destruction Of cables In war time
will be an easy enough matter In shall
low seas, but is going to offer more diff
! ticulties than are at present allowed for
al great depths; II will require special
apparatus and specially trained men,
II not special vessels. The great depth
OF this new cable is going to make an
obstacle which in itself will be tao
teal advantage TO us as the most eX-
pert in the art of ocean telegraphy. 1t
! II is in this direction that we are dis
posed 10 place high premium on tho
Pacific cable
| The entire cable Is by far the long
est In the world, Just as the section be-
( tween Tanning Island and Vancouver
Is the longest unbroken stretch extant.
Its completion, though nothing great
as an engineering feat, marks an epoch
in Colonial development and in the
solidarity OF the British peoples. BY
/ no means the smallest element In our
complacency at the fact is the knowl-
edge that IL has been forced on the
Imperial Government by Colonial ini-
! tiative. AS such II will be stimulus
! for further effort in other directions.
The Colonies may yet force on us such
novelties as a codified law and deci-
NAL system OF money, weights. meas
ures, etc. In the meantime the ma
terial benefits of the new cable will at
once be felt In the Colonies by some
mitigation at least Of the tariff tyran-'
ny which we China people know so
well.

that II gives the citizens OF the District
representation in the Senate and House

not otherwise change the form of gov

likely to be a good many years before

The Soldiers Home bill has been ap- proved by the Committee on Pensions and Soldiers Home of the House. The bill it will be recalled was introduced Thurs day in the House by Representative Walden of Morgan. The bill provides for the States assuming charge Of the Falkner Home for i.idlgent and helpless soldiers of the Confederacy at Mountain Creek. It contains also the provision that $25, 900 shall be appropriated from the State Treasury to complete the build ings now at the Home. The bill also provides that the State shall pay an nually $125 for the support of each old soldier at the Home. The Pension Com mittee held a special meeting yesterday afternoon to consider the bill. At the meeting the committee voted uanimously to favorably report the Dill.

Moody is recognized as the most conspicuous advocate of the dispen- sary in Alabama He was here in the early days of the Legislature and 1t was said at that time that he would return later when it was predicted dispensary legislation would be started. MT. Moody has been in conference with Representa- tiVes and Senators who are friendly to the dispensary idea and 1t is said that the general dispensary bill will be in troduced in one of the houses in the next few days.
 The House will early in next week, be- gin holding each day two sessions: A resolution to that effect was introduced yesterday in the House and its adoption IS expected as it is clearly the sentiment of the House that two daily sessions be held in order that the calendar may be cleared. The calendar has grown longer and longer with each days session. Bills are reported by the committees much faster than they are passed by the House The resolution introduced yeG- terday provided that only local bills should be considered at the afternoon ses- sion of the House.
 The general improvement of the public roads of Alabama is the object of bill introduced in the House yesterday by Representative Wilkinson of Autauga. The bill is comprehensive.
