The season is at hand when the profess
sional commentator on theatrical matter
can best display his wisdom and discern
ment by mildly subsiding. 1t is the era or
local endeavOr; time when the lefty
standards of constant rehearsal and I'M
limited capital. such as are enjoyed by the
regular seasons offerings, cannot reason
ably be maintained. The summer stock
company should be regarded rather as a
philanthropic than a business enterprise,
Cor the weeks are long-too long to be filled
out even with the outdoor entertainments
that are usually available And the stock
company assures the citizen who prefers
dramatic entertainment TO all other kinds
that he will not be left desolate. Under
such circumstances an audience should as
'emble to approve rather than to analyze.
There should be gratitude for the good
that is offered and deficiencies should be
d. egarded as they usually are, with broad
minded indifference. Washington stock en-
:-agements have developed some notable
players Miss Percy Haswell and Miss
Blanche Bates both served memorable APP
prenticeships in this city. The Lafayette
Theater and Chase's will pursue the pro-
gram which they have followed for some
weeks, and the Columbia Theater will
make what promises to be important
addition to the list of attractions. AS
:ule summer amusements have been held
Up to a high mark of merit and have re-
luired little apology. In some cases the
summer productions have displayed a de-
gree of excellence far beyond what the
scale of prices justified, and it is sad to re-
lect that the public has not invariably been

THE BURNED VOUCHERS.

The community has nothing to hope
from the Territorial grand jury in the
way of investigation of the legislative
vouc' er scandal. After several weeks
session its jurymen are as mum as
oysters. A glance at the names Of
some of them may explain why.
The Federal grand jury is also in
session. From it different result
may be expected.
It is charged that a federal law has
been violated; not only this but most
openly and fiagrantly violated.
The whole of the vouchers Of the ex-
penditures of the House of Represen-
tatives have disappeared. Before they
disappeared it was publicly announced
that they were going to be burned,
as the vouchers of the preceding
House had been burned, for the ex-
press purpose of preventing the ex-
posture of the illegal and fraudulent
use of public money.
The threat has been carried out, so
far as the public knows. The law
requires that all of the records of the
legislature shall be filed with the Sec
rotary of the Territory.
The Clerk of the House has delivered
to the Secretary part of the records,
but not a single voucher, and he gives
no coherent or sufficient explanation
of what has become of them.
There has never in a civilized coun-
try been more open and shameless
defiance of law and decency than the
way in which the public money was
rnis-spent by the House Of Repre-
sentatives and the evidence thereof
made way with while the only ex-
PLANTATION offered by the guilty parties
is the query: what are you going to
do about it?"
The Territorial grand jury will do
nothing about it.
Graft" in the legislature on the
scale carried on by the House of Rep
resentatives is new thing in Hawaii.
The rogues who profited by it are
waiting to see what will happen. If
a few of them can be put behind the
bars, the practice will be broken up
and we will have a legislature which
will not smell to heaven. If they find
that they are allowed to go scot free,
a saturnalia of corruption may be ex-
pected in the next legislature. The
hope for decent government in Hawaii
depends very largely upon the action
of the present Federal grand jury.

The Examiner has displayed yell
low article about the Along family OF
this city using the Brewster wedding
as a text. 1t is such a romance as the
sensational journals have been print
ing for twenty years past and Is an
affront to an estimable private family
that has never sought notoriety Tor
deserved it. The Along stories have
become intolerable to the Honolulu
public which realizes not only their
impertinence but their general shall
lowness and falsity. The offense
against good breeding and good sense
which the ExamiIer repeats for per-
haps the tenth time should be under
stood better than it is by the proprietor
of that journal, especially in view OF
the high American connections of the
Afongs and the desire of Mr.. Hearst
to placate those who might further his
various ambitions or impede them.

Land Commissioner Boyd appears to
be hand and glove with Promoter Gehr
in the proposition which led Mr.. Gehr
the other day to write an insulting let

Of which Boyd is a part. At Wash

partment chief his job. Here there is
no way to get rid Of an offensive or
treacherous cabinet member" unless
he has committed some crime. Such
state of things would warrant future
Governors in requiring the undated
resignation Of every man who accepts
responsible post under them. In nc
other way can they control their own

THE TILLMAN VERDICT.

The acquittal of Lieut.. Gov. Tillmar
of South Carolina for the murder OF
Editor Gonzales is one of those mis-
carriages of justice which account for
the growing popularity in the South
of feuds and lynchings.
That Tillman was guilty of plain
oldfashioned murder nobody denies.
He met the editor in the street, as
he had done many times since their
political relations had been strained
and, without warning or provocation
shot him fatally. His sole defence
was that he supposed Gonzales to be
armed" Though such an excuse
would, if commonly accepted by juries
provide legal way for numbering al
most any one, it was satisfactory
to South Carolina jury and the
assassin went free. Lucky for him
if he is not lynched or pursued to the
death by the vengeful kindred of the
dead editor.
While such things happen in the
courts it is perfectly useless to in
Weigh against the "lawlessness" which
retaliates upon the freed murderer with
the bullet or the rope. The lawless-
ness of acquittal under such circum-
stances as those which caused the
Tillman verdict, is more to be depre-
Gated than that form of execution by
laws neglect of duty in the only way
left,

NUUANU STREET PARK.

1.-The Official and Commercial Record.
The welcome announcement is made
that steps are being taken to secure a
public park on Nuuanu street.
The park system of Honolulu has
been woefully neglected. The exec
utive, the legislative and the people
have alike been at fault
For years the only public parks were
little Emma Square, no bigger than an
ordinary back yard, and Thomas
Square, a single block, a mile from the
city center.
Kapiolani Park was created by a pri-
over by the government. but since July
LIST last, for the first time has the ap-
preparation been large enough to more
than keep the few roads in passable
repair.
Aala Park was rescued from being
turned into a bedraggled warehouse
site, and under the energetic admins
tration of Henry E. Cooper, is being
transformed into delightful play
ground.
The Makiki reservation serves the
purpose of recreation ground in that
section, and at some time in the dim
and misty future the Mckinley Park
may blossom forth in the Moiliili dis
trict.
The foregoing end the list of city
parks. Manoa, Pauoa, Punchbowl
Nuuanu, Palama and Kalihi, all popu-
lous neighborhoods, are rapidly build
ing up without a single park or even a
reservation for one.
This is wrong. Now while land is
unoccupied and cheap is the time to
secure park reservations. The govern
nent has no money with which to buy
park sites, but it has large areas of
sites.
The sooner this policy is adopted, and
park reservations secured in all sec
tons. of the city, the better.
mere Is an opportunity Tor Mr.. Cooper
to show his energy, even though the
state of the treasury does hamper the
immediate prosecution of some of the
public improvements which he desires
to see carried out. He has made a good
start with Thomas Square and Aala
parks. God speed to him. May he go
down to history as the Honolulu park
maker.

of the statesman has just been saved
partly by his name, from a dishon-
orable discharge from the Army, in
which he is a lieutenant.

MIDDLE AGE ATHLETICS.

Interest in athletics is not confined
to the young in Honolulu nor to those
who cultivate the habit of outdoor
sports. Many middle-aged business
men are taking UP various forms OF
physical exercise in the belief that,
here in the tropics, it is even more
essential to ones health than in the
temperate zones. The truth probably
ia that i'm cooler climates more exer-
else is taken without knowing it than
a man incidentally gets here, and that
in a warm climate one must adopt
some regular schedule of activity and
follow it up, or he will almost uncon-
sciously slip into slothful and INDECENT
ways.
The number of mature men who have
installed gymnastic apparatus in their
homes is large. Many have taken up
the gymnastics without apparatus
which a highly advertised Chicago
man prescribes and find them bene-
fetal. Some are in correspondence
with Brandon of San Francisco, fol-
lowing his directions. At least two
schools of physical culture are well
maintained here, one of them being
in charge of the man who trained
Corbett for his great fights and brought
out Jeffries, the worlds champion.
The athletic department of the Y. M.
C. A. is doing a useful work. Moth
ing, unfortunately, has come to take
the place of the bicycle, which SO
many were riding couple of years
ago, nor is much rowing done, but on
the whole there is creditable zeal
among men in finding means for the
betterment of their health and muscle.
This course of physical treatment
will go a great way to solve the
problem of the deterioration of whites
in the tropics, of which medical jour-
mails now and then speak. That de-
terioration comes, is undeniable; but
it is usually a result, here as elsewhere,
of sloth and self-indulgence. Nobody
ever knew a white man who lived
normal, healthy life and gave MS
physical needs the attention they de-
as Hawaii because of the climate. In
deed, those young men among US who
have gone in for athletics, have won
honors, over and over again in physi-.
cal contests with the crack men of
Eastern colleges. When we do ex-
ercise it is to some purpose, 1t would
further here than it does on the main
land.
Perhaps it finds an easier task.
There are certain hygienic reasons
why a man here should be good
subject for the gymnasium and the
athletic field which do not pertain to
country. 1t cannot do a man any
good to fight range of temperature
in one day of fifty degrees; to read
just himself to constant and sharp
climatic changes; to go WITHOUT fresh
vegetables for half the year and for
an equal period to breathe the air Of
shut-in and overheated rooms and Of
fees. Per contra it must make man
more fit when he can spend his years
in climate which rarely varies from
a comfortable warmth, which PRO-
duces fresh vegetables in every month
and where rooms are never shut in
from the breeze and where the out-of-
door life, with its bathing and walking,
Is general, Such conditions as we
have in the tropics should produce a
fine stalwart race and keep it so; and
In cases where it does not, the indi-
'Vidual is usually to blame.
