Strike KISS ed Off.

NEW HAVEN, September q John
II. Pearce, superintendent of the l..
Candee and Company rubber factory.
has apparently solved the labor prob
lem where young women workers are
concerned. When Mr. Pearce went on
his vacation lately, $50 girls in the fac
tory were being paid 81 cents for max
ing twelve pairs of certain kind of
rubber shoes. In his absence the as
sistant superintendent demanded that
the girls make eighteen pairs for the
same wages.
The indignant young women struck.
Pearce was hastily recalled from his
vacation. He coaxed a few of his
strikers to return to work yesterday.
The other strikers said unpleasant
things to the girls who yielded. At
noon yesterday Pearce had the girls
at work served with a luncheon con-
sisting of ice cream and chocolate bon
bons. The young women declared that
Pearce was sweet When they quit
work last night the story of the ice
cream and chocolates spread conster-
nation among the strikers. The strike
leaders were dismayed for they saw
what was coming. Today 100 out of
the $50 who struck We're at their
benches. More ice cream, more choco-
lates were served. It is confidently
predicted that the strike will end very
soon.

The Wa shinston Estate

WASHINGTON, September Thine
has laid siege to the tomb and man
sion of George Washington at Mount
Vernon and efforts on the part of
those in charge are being made to save
these national relies from further de-
struction.
A force of workingmen today began
treating the limestone, of which the
tomb is built, with vulcanizing proc
ess to make it waterproof and i'm
perishable. The stones of the old tomb,
built by George Washington, and in
which his body, and that of his wife
rested until some thirty years ago, are
crumbling. A month ago Dodge re-
moved the historic corner stone of the
tomb, the one bearing the Masonic en-
blem. 1t was necessary to have
the sides cut away and this
destroyed the Masonic emblem.
1t was recut in the stone. The
sandstone foundations of the historic
mansion are undergoing a process of
disintegration, and with small effort
they can be made to crumble. 1t is
evident that if the process now being
used on the stones is not a success the
foundation will have to be replaced or
the building will collapse perhaps with
in two years.

COUNTY SURVEYORSHiP.

Nominations which seem to be minor
now may appear major when they
come out in the wash. Among these
is the nomination for County Surveyor,
q post to which Robert Boyd, who
never surveyed anything much besides
an office, appears as the only aspirant.
One can hardly account for Boyds
eagerness to get $50 per month billet
until the section of the County Act
defining the duties and emoluments of
the surveyorship has been examined.
According to the law the County
Surveyor shall be ex officio deputy
County Recorder for such purposes AT
THE COST OF THE PARTY FILING
THE SAME FOR RECORD.
This refers to maps, traces, copies,
etc, to be filed. There is no limit to
the cost to the party filing, nor is
there anything in the duties of Su-
pervisors' whereby they can limit 1.-The
cost" nor that the fees or cost" shall
go to anybody but the County Sur
Yeyor.
In the hands of CRATER the County
Surveyorship would be worth at least
$4,000 per year; and if the CRATER hap
pened TO be incompetent professionally,
he would do twice that amount of
damage through faulty surveying.

EASY LAND CLEARING.

In dealing with weeds and Hilo grass
the farmers of Hawaii, the number OF
whom is slowly increasing, need to ap-
ply more modern methods than plow-
ing and manipulating. Science is all
the while making common tasks easier
and now that it has taken hold of the
weed question, there is hope for the
reclamat ton OF a great deal of land
which is given over, especially in the
tropics, to rank vegetation.
The newest way of clearing land of
weeds-and burrowing insects as well
Is thus described in that ancient and
admirable weekly paper, the Saturday
Evening Post:
a farm implement resembling a har-
row in outward appearance may be
used as part of the outfit. 1t is de-
signed 20 have tubes of steel take the
place of the harrow teeth. Pliable
steam hose, similar to that in use in
the air brake system of railway trains,
will run from a traction engine to con-
meet with central steam reservoir on
the harrow, and, thence radiating to
the harrow tubes, will discharge into
them boiling water and steam under
from eighty to ninety-five pounds pres
sure. Hitched behind the traction
engine, this steam harrow
will be hauled over field about to be
planted. The boiling water and steam
thus injected into the soil will kill

In the experiments conducted under
Federal auspices the results have been
amazing, even to those who hoped the
most from them. The hardy seed of
the Russian thistle (Salsola kali ira
gus) "a weed which, although not in
troduced into the United States until
1873, has spread to nearly every State
in the Union and become such men

interstate congresses have convened to
plan campaigns against it's destroy

the perennial roots of such weeds as

zones of the most noxious grasses, the
hardest weed seeds, all forms of fungi,

system of treatment" said enc of the
scientists.
In connection with the experiments
an interesting discovery has been made
oy the Bureau of Chemistry; that the
soil treated by the steam process is
enriched, the explanation
being that the animal and vegetable !

BOUNTY NOT THE THING.

There is renewed talk about asking
Congress to grant bounty On coffee.
The need of public aid for this indus
try, both here and in Porto Rico is
plain, but the Advertiser does not
agree with many of it's friends in the
belief that a bounty would answer the
purpose.
Bounties are not necessarily perma-
nent One Congress may grant them
and the next take them away. The
fate of the American sugar bounty in
the interests of "a free breakfast
table" is in point. This journal, much
as it desires to see small farming, es-
pecially coffee farming, prosper, could
not advise any one to invest money
in coffee-growing enterprises the re-
turns from which would depend on the
willingness of Congress to keep on
paying bonus. Investments should
rest on safer foundation than that.
Tariff changes have more of per-
manency. The wise thing to do, in
our opinion, would be to ask Congress
to exclude all low-grade coffees from
the list of imports just as is now done
with low-grade teas. If Congress
would do that, then Hawaiian high
grade coffee would find a ready and
lucrative market and it's culture would
spread accordingly. In course of time
a successful appeal might be made for
general protection.

A TWENTIETH CENTURY POPE.

The rumor that Pope Plus X. does
not choose to regard himself as a pris-
oner Of the Vatican and that he may
occasionally leave Rome as his prede-
cessors back of Plus TX. were wont to
do, accords with the Pontiff's reputa-
ton for good sense. There was not
much of dignity in the fiction of i'm
prisonment so long maintained by Plus
TX. and Leo XIII. The world knew
that both were free to come and go
as they might choose and that they
were in no danger, meanwhile of per-
sonal harm or insult. To pretend that
they were captives-and that, in the
midst of one of the most Catholic of
countries-called for too great a strain
on the imagination; and the effect
upon the lay mind was that of two
cid men, sulky over their loss of tenn
poral authority and obstinately keep
ing out of sight in a world where their
active interest in the affairs of men
was a part of their spiritual duty.
Plus X, having long been on friend
ly terms with the Italian government
and a lover of nature and the free air
of the hills and waters, is just the
sort of a Pope to break away from a
self-imposed captivity, recognize the
things that are Caesars as something
not out of keeping with the things
that are Gods, and seek for himself
the life of normal prince among his
fellows. He must know that he would
he a healthier man and therefore
better Pope if he rested during the
hot, unhealthful Roman summers in
some place of cool, medicinal breezes;
and that the church would gain by his
occasional presence in countries where
the faithful of other races than Italian
dwell. a hundred years ago the Pope
went to Paris to crown Napoleon, to
Madrid, to Vienna and to various parts
of Italy where he had his summer pal
aces. His was q normal life; the kind
that other sovereigns lead. What is
to be gained now by turning from it
to carry on a dead-and-alive existence
in the cloisters and gardens of the
Natican-a world 100 small for the
humhlest citizen? Certainly not the
temporal power, for that has gone for
ever.

investors can get securities of unques-
toned value, yielding six per cent.
Under these circumstances. the pos
sibility of placing the bonds as a whole
depends upon the ability of the govern
ment to interest foreign capital therein.
For this purpose the territorial secre-
tary, Geo. r. Carter, has gone to New
York. 1t is to be hoped that he will
be successful, although in the present
condition Of that market, it is doubt
full whether a bond at such long range
will prove attractive. 1t is an en-
couraging fact that the territorial fire
claims per cent. bonds We're largely
taken in New York, although at dis
count, and that they are now selling
locally as high as 81.
The foregoing applies to the issue
and the appropriations to be paid from
the bond receipts, as a whole.
There is no reason, however, why
individual items in the appropriation
OH should not be expended, if purchas-
ers can be found for bonds enough to
supply the funds therefor.
For example, there is an appropria-
ton, to be expended from bond pro
ceeds, for completion of the reservoir
at Diamond Head. This cannot be
done until bonds enough have been sold
to furnish the money.
If, however, citizens who are interest
ed III securing the construction of this
are willing to take bonds
enough to furnish the money, the
government will devote the proceeds
of such bonds to that work.
This should secure the placing of
quite number of bonds locally, if Mr..
Carter is unsuccessful in placing the
whole issue in New York.

THE PACIFIC
CAMPAIGN FUNDS WANTED.

The people of Honolulu will make a
mistake if they do not give generously
to the support Of the Mosquito commit
tee. 1t ought to be clear by this time.
from accumulated testimony, that a
mosquito-ridden place can be so made
over, at no great expense, as to nearly
eradicate the insect pest, promote
health and increase public comfort.
We have lately collected and printed
facts in point gathered from many
sources, notably the magazines and
scientific periodicals. Elsewhere in
this issue is an account Of the effective
measures taken in the Soudanese
swamp country to get rid of ,nosqui-
toes, measures which, though they in
clude the filing of low ground, which
is impracticable here, are easy enough
to match, in their remedial value, by
free use of petroleum and small fish.
Money is needed for variety of
uses, as a sanitary campaign. inVolr-
ing the purchase and use of oil, eject
era. cannot be carried on without it.
The sos per month already pledged is
but bagatelle. The sum ought to ne
multiplied by ten. in such case as
good results may be had here in town
as have been obtained already, on
Quarantine island.
AS for the money it will begin to
earn compound interest in hard cash,
as soon as word goes abroad that mos
quitoes and Honolulu have parted
company.
