THE NEGRO IN AMERICA.

The speech of T. Thomas Fortune in
New York, in which he broadly limited
that the negro race in the United States
ippines, has an academic rather than
a practical interest. Coming down to
facts, IL must be said that the negro
race could not migrate so far If it
wanted to and that, in the bulk, it does
not wish to leave America, which is
its home and that OF its recent ances-
tors; and Furthermore that even South
ern white men, who are counted as the
negro's enemies, would not part with
his labor for any available sub
stitute.
The resources OF the ocean carrying
trade could not move the negro popu-
lation Of the South across the Pacific
In one generation; the financial hold
ings of the negroes are not enough to
pay the bill, and the Government would
not pay IL. Nor is there any reson to
voluntarily leave this country any more
than that the poor white man would.
This Is his home and conditions are
never likely to become such as to make
that home intoIerable.
Doubtless some enterprising negroes
like whites of similar class will ven
ture beyond the seas; but it may be
assumed that they will never make an
important subtraction from the main
body Of Afro-Americans. Possibly, too.
when the United States acquires
Mexico. a great many negroes will move
there-but this is a problem Of the far
future. not likely. even then. to make
much difference in the racial census of
the South.

The aquarium to be built at Wal
kiki promises to be a new attraction
for tourists as we'll as residents.
Everybody likes to see live fish swim
ming behind glass. Some years ago the
Mechanics Fair at San Francisco had
an aquarium annex which drew more
visitors than the main display. One OF
the big sights in New York city is the
aquarium in old Castle Garden. The
Waikiki exhibit can be filled with
curious sea forms, some of them COM
paratively new to science. 1t is to be
hoped that. in time. an aviary like the
one in Golden Gate park can be added
to the beach attractions. There are few
birds that would not thrive here under
intelligent care.

BISHOP STREET
EXTENSION PLAN

That labyrinth of corkscrew lanes
bounded b. Fort, Hotel, Alakea and
Beretania streets, which must have
kept the pioneer Bostonese folk in He
nolulu from feeling altogether home
sick, is going TO be abolished. Re
moving the ancient landmarks will the
process be, yet no injunction is likeIy
to be prayed upon it by the public.
Superintendent Cooper submitted a
map to the Executive Council yester-
day of a proposed extension of Bishop
street from Hotel to Beretania street.
He was authorized to advance the
preIiminaries, securing rights OF way
by means of exchanges. As part of
the proposition is to close Union street
and Garden lane, possibly also Adams
lane, the land to barter for the dam
ages is largely within the block to be
remodeled.
only one modern building is in the
way-the new oregon block of two
stories, half of which the improvement
scheme cuts out. Jas. Steiner gives
1850 square feet, the Monsarrat estate
$3.50 square feet. The extension runs
diagonally across Union street, taking
1892 square feet, off NJ. d. Monsarrat's
lot at the intersection of Union street
and Adams lane. 1t swallows up a
goodly section-of Garden lane, taking
off the Waikiki side 22S9 square feet OF
the lot of Mystic Lodge, K. of p, 1150
off the Robertson lot and 1890 off j. |
F. Morgan's lot at Beretania street. !
On the Eva side $3.50 square feet comes
off the Catholic Mission premises in !

AGAIN ON THE TRAIL.

II there ever was a man in state OF
malicious prosecution it is John h
Sumner. No other term can describe
the embarrassment with which ne Is
visited by the Ellis appeal from the
decision Of Judge De Bolt dismissing
the application for the appointment OF
a guardian for his person and estate
m the ground that he is insane.
John X. Sumner by legal decree, by
medical examination and by common
knowledge is in full possession OF ms
mental faculties. His only weakness
has been in paying money to his rela-
tfves TO let him alone and not taking
from them a quit-claim receipt But
oyer-trustfulness in ones kin is not a
sign of insanity; a reluctance to believe
that ones own flesh and blood, upon
whom favors had been showered, would
treat their benefactor in his old age
with mean ingratitude and baseness.
does not prove a man to be mentally
undone. King Lear when he divided
his island empire between two human
aeIl-cats. his daughters. was not of
ruined mind: IL was only when he
found himself betrayed and driven out
into the highways by his brutal on
spring-when he learned how sharper
than a serpent's tooth is it to have
thankIess chiId-that his intellect went
into sad eclipse. Perhaps that con-
summation is what the people wio are
bounding John K. Sumner hope for
now. Perhaps they think that this old
man. with the burdens of eighty-three
years upon his shoulders, will break
down indeed, il he is harried again
with bitter accusations and tralled py
the bIoodhounds Of the law. a few
months ago, when his troubles were
multiplying, Mr.. Sumner could not
sleep: he walked the floor or sat at
the window at night with hot, strained
eyes. II that state Of things had
kept up long enough, surely his greed |
amitten kith and kin would have had
him in the mad-house and his fortune !
In their own reach. But things took
a turn for. the better and John X ,
Sumner slept at ease. Lets wake him
again and keep him awakei Let's lash |
him till his mind gives way! Haul him
into court, put spies at his heels. COM
pei him to employ more lawyers, keep
him away from his business in Tahiti |
then, may be. we can get him into 'he
asylum and his fortune into our bank
accounts!" Is that the attitude Of
those who are again trying to unnerve |
the poor old man, who. after long |
tribuIation, has got back his own? For |
the sake of a common human nature |
we hope not-but wait and see.

to those who have come there to stay,
the greater proportion of whom are

very class of people so much needed in
Hawaii.
There is no reason why we should
not be just as successful, proportionate-

No state or territory in the union can

MIsCALLED HAIR ToNICs."

Most Hair Preparations are Merely
Scalp Irritants, of No Value.
Most hair preparations are merely
scalp irritants, misca1led hair tonics.
When hair is brittle, lusterless and be-
gins to fall out, the dandruff germ is
getting in it's deadly work at the root,
sapping the vitality. Since science dis
covered that dandruff is a germ dis
ease there has been only one prepara-
ton put on the market that will actu-
ally destroy the dandruff germ, and
that is Newbros Herpicide. 1t allays
itching instantly, destroys the germ;
and the falling hair stops, and hair
grows luxuriantly. Ask your druggist
for Herpicide. 1t allays itching in

through your paper how can set rid OF
red ants7 a sUBsCR1 BIER.
The red ant, monomontum pharaonis,
Is one OF the most troublesome insects
with which housokeepers have to con-
tend. They build their colonies Under the
foundation OF walls OF the holse. and
once established It Is almost Impossible
70 ret rid OF them. They avoid poison.
ana, therefore, cannot be DESTROYED by
means OF 1t. Repellnnts such az nap
thalene and carbolic acid can often be
used to good advantage but these RENE
dies are offensive to man, and are also
often impracticble.
Large numbers OF the workers may be
trapped and destroyed by the use OF
sponge saturated with sweetened water
Sugar Is especially attractive to this In
sect. They will gather in thousands on
the sponge. and can be destroyed by dip
pins In hot water.
