A Ne " SITE
FOR ASYLUM
Insane Wards Will
Be Moved Near.
er the Sea.

The new insane asylum is to be To-
Gated in Kalihi on government land
which almost encircles the old Altar
Herbert place, recently purchased b!
Alexander Young. H. E. Cooper, Su.
perintendent of Public Workswith O.
Stillman, one of the clerks in the Of
fee, made tour of inspection of gov
eminent lands yesterday with view
to finding a suitable site for the erec-
in the Loan Act. But two available
sites were visited and the Kalihi land
which comprises eighteen and three
fourths acres was finally picked upon.
The present site of the insane asy-
lum has always been a subject Of con-
troversy. taken in connection with the
quarry which is located within a hun
dred feet of the asylum. The Board Of
Health maintained that the rock crush
ers disturbed their patients and Supt.
Boyd advised the doctors to move the
asylum Finally the matter was set
tied by the shutting down of the crush
ertemporarily, and the legislature was
then asked to make provision for re-
locating the asylum at site further
removed from town. The buildings
which now shelter the insane wards of
the Territory are in a tumbledown con-
dition the roofs of some of them hav-
ing been battered in by rocks thrown
from blasts in the adjoining stone
quarry. The asylum is also said to be
too close to down and is unsuitable
in many ways. Besides that the rock
at the government quarry is the best
to be found on the island as well as
the most easily accessible while even
ent location the entire structure would
have to be entirely rebuilt.
The first location examined was the
tract just above the present site and
little beyond the intersection of Judd
and Liliha streets. This is known as
Alewa and there are 10 acres in the
piece. There are the same objections
to this location as to the present site,
namely the proximity to the rock
crusher and quarry The stone will
be taken out further and further up
the mountain side and 1t would not
be many years before the blasting
would again interfere with the insane
patients. E..
1.-THE tract next to the Allan Herbert
place Is admirably suited for the new
insane asylum" said Supt. Cooper yes
terday. There are about eighteen and
three quarters acres in the tract. There
good breeze from Kalihi Valley. The
place is well laid out gently sloping
toward the sea. 1t has been practical
ly decided upon as the site for the new
insane asylum, which will not be built,
however, until the appropriation be-
comes available"
There is an appropriation or $i5,UUU
in the loan bill for the new insane
asylum buildings No plans have beed
made for the new structure but work
will be begun very soon. 1t is the in
tention to erect Territorial peniten-
tiary upon the asylum site. The loan
bill carries an appropriation Of the $780,
900 for beginning work upon this. Only
the foundation will be laid at this time,
and the next legislature will be asked
to provide for the building of the SUI
perstructure.. The location will be par
ticularly advantageous because of the
quarry near by, which will furnish
work for the convicts.

GRAMMAR vs.. NATIONALITY.

An Englishman, writing to the Adj
vertiser notes that the usage of this
paper is TO speak Of the United States
in the singular. why" he asks.
SHOULD you say the United States is.
when the authority of the gram
marians is on the side of the phrase
the United States are?'"
The purist would, IL governed by
the English grammar alone, choose the
plural form, thus following the usage
of the authors OF the Federal Consti-
tuition. But as was pointed out by
John w, Foster, not long ago, all
American authorities on international
law use the singular form. such as has
been employed since the Civil War by
those who insist that the United States
should be described as a national sim
gle entity-and not as confederacy,
or plurality of States, 1t is case
where politics has amended grammar.

The troubles OF the wireless service

due to mismanagement-at least not

its prospectus and interest in II among

be sure 1t sometimes does well-but so
do carrier pigeons. What rs wanted

pendable, that will not respond to ev-
cry caprice of the atmosphere. This

Flag viii Stay Up.

The revolution at Panama was even
quicker than were those at Brazil and
Hawaii. 1t was also accomplished with
very little violence. Possibly some OF
the nations may think that the United
States melted this rising. The demo-
Gratis may charge President Roosevelt
with having a hand in the overturn at
the isthmus. The democrats accused
President Harrison of using improper
influence in Hawaii at the time the old
native government in the islands was
upset. Cleveland pulled down the
American flag in Hawaii in 1893, and
thus helped TO shape the forces which
were to throw his party out of power
in the congressional elections of 1894
and in the presidential canvas Of 1896.
There will be no hauling down Of the
flag in this instance. The Panama
republic will stick, and It's great and
good friend, the United States, will
throw over it the mantle Of the Mon
roe doctrine.

Wants A New County.

Without claiming to be a prophet
The Herald opines that al no distant
day the question Of forming a new
county ia this part OF the state will be q
very live issue. Between Aberdeen
and Webster, from the James river east
about twenty miles, lies a strip OF
country that Is peculiarly fitted by
Mother nature 10 set up housekeeping
for itself, and the hoggish spirit dis
played by Aberdeen and Webster leads
this section to be very anxious to cut
loose and run its own affairs. Take
that portion of E1osn county lying east
OF the river and add to it a tier of town
ships from Day, and we would have a
county Of progressive hustlers and
boosters whose interests would be
mutual. With Gioton or Andover as
county seat tho taxpayer would save q
great deal of time aud money by avoid
the long trips now necessary to conduct
any business at Webster or Aberdeen.
We believe the voters Of the section
named should have an opportunity to
express themselves upon this issue

Boer Colonization A FaiIure.

The efforts Of Senators Pettigrew and
Marion Butler to establish a colony Of
Beers in Mexico have failed. AS the
representatives of a syndicate Of Ameri-
can capitalists. i'll which they are inter-
ested, Senators Pettigrew and Butler
purchased 500, 600 acres Of land, situated
adjacent to the gulf coast between Tam
pico and the mouth Of the Rio Grande.
This land was purchased with the view
Of locating Beer families thereon. Gen.
Lategan, Capt O'Donnell and M, M.
Vcnter, who represent the Beers who
are seeking new homes in Mexico, have
just visited the Pettigrew-B Butler prop
erty, and say that it is unfayorable for
colonization purposes. A Boer colony
of fifty families is being established
near Santa Rosalia, state of chihuahua,
Mexico.
