Things are not encouraging on the

Reports are constantly received here to
the effect that times are prosperous be-

As a rule there are more strikes in

great coal strike was an incident OF the
most prosperous era Of the country's
business history. When things are GO

private affairs. Sentimentalists tell us
of the remorse of murderer. But the
murderer retorts. Is there any remorse
! in the conscience of a nation, when it
kills its enemies? The case is rarely
to be found where he who kills does not
justify himself with his own conscience,
just as nation finds ample justification
in wholesale slaughter.
Duelling is murder, but among some
millions of Americans, until within a
few years. it was regarded as justif-
able, and even commendabIe. Killing
in duel was regarded as malicious
murder in many States. and was pun
ished with death. In many other States
at the same time it was regarded as a
most honorable act, and a failure to
engage in it involved social ostracism.
The protection against killing lies in
the danger of ignominious punishment;
more than this it lies in the gradual
education in the sanctity of human
life.
No doubt war has a certain influence
in lowering the estimate of life. We
as a nation, were quite will

THE TOURIST PROPOSITION.

It Is a pity that 50 much time has

to spread a knowledge Of HawaiFs
charms among these eager sight-seers.
the Advertiser does not doubt that our
hotels and boarding houses would now
be OVERCOMING and the revenues Of re-
tail trade increased accordingly.
Having lost the best chance the
sp.ing season affords il is a public
duty, which Hawaii owes itself. to per-
feet It's plans for an early fan cam
pai9n in which the railroads and
steamship lines may share. The sum-
rner will not prove too long for the
preliminary negotiations with the COM
mon carriers. nor for the working out
OF proper advertising schemes Every
week between now and the coming of
cold weather in the East can be utilized
in getting railroad men interested, In
preparing literature for them to dis
tribute and in having special ocean
rates adjusted Something might also
be done OF the coast to work up sum-
mer excursions like those OF the Shriner
parties a couple Of years ago.
The game Is well worth the candle.

buildings and destroying the Gaines

Of life is reported in the destruction
of the cotton n ills, where about
eighty persons are reported killed

blown down. The storm had driven
many persons into the stores for

killed. There were FIVE hundred
persons at work in the cotton mill
when the tornado struck it. The
mill was three-story building. The
first story was left standing, but
bandly wrecked. The second and
third floors were completely demol-

uuder the wreckage and mangled.
It is now estimated that there are
at least seventy. five bodies under The
