BONDS FOR COUNTY OFFICERS.

From all indications millionaires
alone will be eligible to the position of
County Assessor.-Bulletin
The Bulletin and Independent attack
on the Supervisors for fixing the Home
Rule Assessors bond as provided by
law might almost be designated as
suspicious. The Independent adds to
the Bulletins cry about making the Of
flee one which only a millionaire can
hold, that as there was no county this
year. the assessors bond should not
be more than $4,000. The law was in
tended as a protection to the people,
not as a loophole through which a pos
sible embezzler might escape. The fact
that the County Act refers the great
est amount of money shown by the
books of the county to have been in the
hands of the officer at one time during
the preceding year." means just what
it says. But as the county was not in
existence the past year, the officer who
performed the same duties for the Ter
ritory is considered. AS much as
s39O,OOO passed through the hands of
Oahu's assessor in one day during this
year and the county assessor will han
die just as much money. Any other
construction of the law is subterfuge.
The law works a hardship on no
honest man however suspicious it may
be of the spotted skirt variety. The
assessor who is trustworthy will have
no trouble in getting bond. Surety
companies are doing business in Ha-
waii for that purpose. And the coun-
ty pays the bill.

THE STARBUCKS A
DRAMATIC TREAT


'.The Starbucks' last night consid-
erably enhanced the reputation of the
company especially coming as it did,
after the yapid, unhinged thing that
Clyde Fitch calls play, the Cowboy
and the Lady. Nat Goodwin apparent
ly needed a play, Fitch needed the
money and some one suggested the title
which has nothing to do with the play,
| neither the hero being a cowboy or
| the heroine lady.
In the Starbucks however James
NeiH and Edythe Chapman scored both
a surprise. both appearing as elderly
folk, and a distinct success. Opie Read
has struck the sarne vein of genuine
and natural humor as Denman Thomp-
son in the Old Homestead. The Ten
nessee life and character was truly por-
trayed and POLITICALLY drawn while the
actors fell in with the spirit of the
author.
James Neill as Jasper Starbuck was
natural and dexterously fitted himself
into the quiet role. George Bloomquest.

vein of genius, but talent seldom Civ

as barefooted, stammering Nose Blake,
was excellent, achieving the actors
hardest possibility in making a gro
tesque character natural Burton as
Spencer was, of course, artistic, he and
Bloomquest taking the honors of the
play.
Miss Chapman proved her versatility
as Margaret Starhuck and her keen in
ti1ition of humanism that aids her to
i8vest her roles with realism.

the blackmailer, was very good. Lii :

tained the excellent standard of the
players. The Starbucks as a perform
ance is first class.
Tonight the dainty Bachelors Ro-
nance by Martha Morton, will be play
ed. To many minds the title role is
James Neill's greatest success and the
company has made its most artistic
presentations in this beautifully bal
anced play.
Tomorrow, Christmas, the matinee

BOOKS READY
FOR COUNTIES


Auditor Fisher has now on hand all
the books and blanks needed by the
counties with which to begin business
on the first Monday in theE new year.
The first batch Of the county books
viii be sent to East Hawaii on tomor-
rows steamer and by Tuesday all OF
the books needed by the counties Will
have been distributed.
The Legislature appropriated s12,500
for the purchase Of books and blanks,
but the Auditor, has required less than
half the sum to do the work. A num-
ber of coast firms had representatives
in Honolulu a few months ago, trying
to get these contracts, but by distri5-
uting the work among the various
offices in the city, the Auditor was
able to have the work done under his
immediate supervision and at reason
able figures.

ENGLAND's AsIATlc PERIL

Great Britain is strangely supine in
the matter of the Russian conquest
Of Manchuria and Korea. Though
committed Oh the northern border OF
India to the doctrine of the buffer
State, she does not seem to realize the
value to her Indian possessions OF
maintaining in China Territorial
status quo which will keep Russia from
advancing to the regions held by the
latter's, French allies on the Eastern
borders of India. For the greater part
of India, China is the real buffer State;
and it is becoming plain that Russia
means to dominate the whole of that
empire and that her ultimate aim may
be to rule all Asia, from the Arctic
ocean to Colombo and from Behring
Strait to the Red Sea and the Mediter-
ranean.
In achieving such a conquest the
ownership of China would prove to be
a factor of enormous value. One must
never forget, in summing up the gains
to Russia, the potential military might
of the Chinese people. Lord Wolseley
has more than once pointed out the
"somber strength" of China; the GER
tainty that the yellow race, when
properly drilled and disciplined, will
furnish multitudes Of Incompatible
soldiers, obedient, fatalistic, putting
small value upon life and physically
virile and tireless. Owning China, the
Car could organize a million of it's
young men into an army as warlike
as that which was led by Genghis or
Kublai in the old days Of Mongol glory
and if he should send that army into
India under the pretext of freeing its
people from the British yoke, all the
Kings horses and all the Kings men
might not be able to prevail against
them.
This is why the supineness of Great
Britain is so inexplicable. Joined
with Japan she could at least save
China and Korea If not Manchuria;
holding aloof from that alliance, which
she once half-entered, Great Britain
leaves Russia to play game which
is to be ultimately directed against
herself.

PUNAHOUS WANT
TO PLAY n. A. C.'S

The Punahou Athletic Club, at a
meeting held at the Y. M. C. A. last
night, voted to play off the game with
the H. A. C.'s, if arrangements could
be made as to date and length of
halves.
This action on the part of the Puma
nou Athletic Club was the result of a
long discussion and showed a most
sportsmanlike attitude on their part.
The sacrifices on the part of the men
to get into any sort of condition for
another game will be great, and only
the very evident desire of the H. A.
C.'s and a similar one on the part of
the public for another game induced
/ them to consent
| The Punahous ask to have the date
of the game, January %, and the
halves twenty minutes. For business
reasons it will be impossible for the
men to begin training again before the
| first of the year and the time asked
for will most certainly not be sufficient
to get the team in as good condition
as they We're before and it is doubtfd IL
| if they could get in a fit condition TO
play even the twenty minute halves
| asked.
The coach of the H. A. C. team has
| stated that he most certainly does not
wish to play his team against any but
Punahous strongest team and if he
| voices the sentiment of the team they
win doubtless be willing to accept Pu-
nahou's proposition.

deaths among the repatriated Gilbert
ese. but no facts are known. When
the Isleworth left these waters, with
the Gilbertese on board, the Advertiser
made arrangements for a letter about
the trip and the reception of the ex-
lies. An officer of the Isleworth was
to write an account and be well paid
for it. If he fulfins his contract, the
next mail from the South Seas ought
to bring full particulars.

A MUNICIPAL sCHEME.

Has the habit of doing public work
in secret at Washington become so
deeply lodged in the Hawaiian political
system as to lead any influential per-
sons to endeavor, through a Congress
sional enactment, to secure for Ho-
nolulu and Hilo municipal legislation
on the sly which failed to secure en-
actment here last winter in the open?
The appearances are that way. 1t is
known that the old municipal bill has
gone to Washington; it is reported that
the thing was sent for with a view
of inducing, Congress to burden the
taxpayers here with the expense of an
arrangement for seven where one was
ample a year ago. In the seven are
included the t'leper county controlled
by the Board of Health. A municipal
government for Honolulu would make
eight; one for Hilo nine, and after that
the professional job-chasers will prob
dDty SHTlth IOI OWiSA4pS.
Twain once said that the Hawaiian
government was the machinery OF an
ocean. steamship packed in a sardine
. box; but we are now proposing to force
in, the machinery of whole fleet.
The genesis of the thing is greed;
the excuse is "Americanism." But
81. TJr;f.57t csta faS wa G voI1np and
sparsely settled it did not multiply
governments; it took inhabited areas
in the State of New York, for example,
as large as Hawaii and attached them
to fairly popuIous counties, which were
carried on with as few office-holders
as possible Then when the popula-
tion grew into hundreds of thousands,
more counties were set off. Nothing
was forced; the county was a growth,
not a graft, and as for municipalities
they were not heard of in any place
of small white population. Here we
are urged, on the basis of smaller
body of electors than they have in
city of the third class in New York, to
pay for nine governments, with a
chance of getting still more. Such
proposition is not what america stood
for when it had a similar need with
Hawaii to simplify government and
keep down expenses; and if it stands
for it now it is because the task of
governing it's vast population requires
a minute subdivision of responsibility.
Good government on the populous
mainland requires State, county, mu
nicipal ward, township and school dis
trict administrat ton; here five men at
The capitol acting as a commission or in
any other controlling capacity could
give Hawaii all the government it
needs and all it can afford to pay for.
For several years this method has
worked well in the Philippines; and it
would work well here. But we won't
get it or try to get it; we must devote
ourselves instead to the creation of as
complicated system of government,
and a much more costly one proper
tionately to the number of inhabitants,
as suffices for the Empire State with
about 100000 of white inhabitants.

The Board of Public Works has been
requested in communication signed
by Judge Sanford B. Dole, Samuel
Parker, H. Holmes and Henry E.
Highton, to place three lights on the
road winding around Diamond Head
on the Waikiki side of the terminus
of the Rapid Transit line. The neces-
stty for this meager provision for the
numerous residents in that neighbor-
hood is and has so long been obvious
that it is surprising that the appliea-
tion is necessary. The road is so ut
terly dark at night, as almost to shut
off these residents from any communi-
cation with Honolulu. Many hospi-
talities to visiting tourists have to be
foregone, on account of the difficulty
of ingress and egress. Gentlemen
and ladies can scarcely be invited to
dine or spend evenings in places, which
are inaccessible except through thick
dust and equally thick blackness. The
TACT is tnat tnlS important part Oh our
suburbs has been entirely disregarded
and unprotected, and business men and
their families, who like the pure air
and the fine scenic effects about Dia-
mond Head, and who have spent many
thousands of dollars in improvements
might as well live on the mountains
beyond Tantalus. The absence of lights
is most unjust to citizens and notice
able by strangers.
