The need of naval general staff to
collect and digest information is very
marked. Ten years ago and less
American naval men assured US that
We had the best ships and the best
guns of their class in the world; but
when the Spanish.war came and we
bought the New Orleans from England
We found. to our surprise, that her
Armstrong six-inch guns were nearly
equal in power to the American eight
inch guns and that as cruiser she
was superior to some of our own
cracks We also learned from her
the value. in battle. of using smokeless
powder. After that development the

THE MAUI JUDGEsHlp.

The Advertiser hopes that the Ha-
waiian Bar Association, which has no
higher duty before it than the i'm
provement and publication of the
bench, will have something to say
about the Maui judgeship when the
office becomes vacant-or before, if
necessary. Each judicial district of
the Territory deserves the ablest and
cieanest fudge who can be had for the
place and no bench should be turned
over to the politicians to fill with
some one who has earned job or who,
for any reason, they may wish to
shelve An office which has the power
of life and death, which can restrain
ones liberty and sequester ones es-
tates, ought to be regarded as the most
important in the Territory as indeed
it is in the extent of it's power and the
sweep of it's authority. A failure to
keep that fact in mind has given Ha-
wall some of the worst judges that
ever cursed an American community;
and now that the survivors of the first
recruitage are about to be turned
down, we trust that the Bar Associa-
ton will see that a higher standard is
ablished for those to follow.

Richard Harding Davis's account OF
the revolutionary movement here IN
1888 must have been derived from the
essays of Julian Hayne. The view Is
wholly partisan and biased and is
contradicted by the findings of the
Morgan commission which went into
the matter exhaustively. We note
that Minister Stevens is credited with
the first and over-prompt recognition
of the Provisional Government when,
as a matter of historical verify, and as
the Morgan report shows, the British
Minister Resident, Major Wodehouse,
was the first to recognize the new re-
gime. That he tried to back out af-
forwards, did not alter the fact that he
had found the Provisional Government
in recognizable shape at the start. AS
for the interference" of the Boston's
marines, no contemporary local Royal
list paper imagined such thing until
days afterwards when they heard from
the ex-Queen's lawyer one of them
saying while the revolution was in
progress: "Our friends are needlessly
alarmed: the: United States forces are
not interfering in any way"

WHAT IS A COUGH?

A spasmodic effort to expel the mucus
from the bronchial tubes. A, cold causes
a more abundant secretion of mucus,
and when the lungs and bronchial tubes
are infiamed, they are extremely sensi-
tive to the irritation. Unless care is
taken, the cold may result in pneu-
monia, which is swift and deadly. If
the cold is a lingering one, the more
k-isurely but equally fatal consumption
may set in. Do not neglect a cold or
cough. Take Chamberlain Cough
Remedy. 1t always cures and cures
quickly. Benson, Smith G Co., Ltd,

IN CASE OF SIEGE.

The fact that a fleet carrying only
5000 men can produce a food famine in
Honolulu in two weeks shows to what
extremes the city and the island may
be reduced in case of war and siege.
It is highly pertinent to inquire what
Honolulu would do if shut out from
communication with the mainland for
three or four months2 The extremely
wealthy would live, of course, but how
would the middle and lower classes in
the financial scale weather such con-
tingeney? The question is serious
one.-Independent.
That is where diversified agriculture
comes in. This papers advocacy of
small farming has only included the
raising of vegetables as an incident,
but il war should be threatened IL
would be a public duty to plant every
available acre CT public and private
land not required for cattle and fruit,
with auick-growing food products and
to vastly extend the areas adaptable
to taro and rice. This, of course, pre-
supposes an acquaintance with agricul-
tural pests and the means of fighting
them; also a community OF farmers
who could be drawn upon to superin-
tend market-gardening on great
scale. Anything like dependence upon
canned food would be futile, especially
for the $4,000 Asiatics and the $4,000
helpless Hawaiians. The safety of the
Territory from famine would depend
either on agriculture or surrender to
blockading force

merce, United States Senate
Treasury Department, Office of the
Secretary,
Washington, December Is, 1902.
Sir: / have to acknowledge the re-
ceipt of a letter dated the 18th instant,
from the Committee on Commerce, in
closing Senate bill 1884, Providing for
the construction of vessel of the first
class for the Revenue-Cutter Service,
to be stationed with headquarters at
Honolulu, Hawaii for such sugges-
lions as may be deemed proper touch
ing the merits of the bill and the
propriety of it's passage
+ In reply I have respectfully to state
that there is not at this time any YES
sci of the Revenue-Cutter Service
which can be spared for duty in the
waters of Hawaii, and that the Service
should be represented there by an able
seagoing vessel does not seem to be open
to question. The maritime laws of the
United States, the enforcement OF
which comes under the purview of this
Department directly and by implica-
ton, are fully applicable to our insular
the Department must necessarily be
largely dependent upon the Revenue
Cutter Service. Among these laws may
be mentioned
1. The protection of the customs rev.
enue (secs. 2747, 2760, 1852, 3O59, r. So.
2. Assistance of vessels in distress
(secs. 1886, 2759, R. 81.
8. Enforcement of the neutrality
laws (sec. 52Ss, r. So.
a. The enforcement of the navigation
and other laws governing merchant
vessels, suppression of mutinies on
board merchant vessels, etc.
A suggestion for the employment of
private vessels for the purposes of the
Revenue-Cutter Service should not be
entertained. Such a course would re-
suit not only in inefficiency, because of
the absence of the commissioned ranks
,, of the Service from such vessels, AMI
therefore of indispensable authority for
the proper government of the same,
but it would be found exceedingly ex-
pensive and in every way unsatisfac-
| tory to charter or hire vessels for this
i purpose.
| All considerations in the interest of
| the Government appear to emphasize
the necessity of making provision for
a ship for duty in the waters of Ha-
wall, and I therefore recommend the
passage of Senate bill 1854 withou;
amendment.
The bill is herewith returned.
Respectfully,
L. NJ. SHAW,
Secretary.

merce, United States Senate.

The nomination of Mr.. Atkinson, to
be Secretary of Hawaii. was confirmed

OUR REVENUE CUTTER.
The bill to authorize the construction
of a vessel of the first class for the
revenue cutter service. to be stationed
with headquarters at Honolulu, is get
ting good start in this Congress.
Senator Perkins, of California. has had
the bill before two or three Congresses.
He introduced it December 10 this year
providing for an appropriation of $685.
600. The bill was considered by the
Senate Committee on Commerce, of
which Mr.. Perkins, is member, at its
last meeting and a favorable report au-
thorized. This report was drawn by
Mr.. Perkins and has already been sub
mitted.

GRANTING OF FRANCHISES.

The question of granting fran
chise for railroad to the Hepp-
ner Railroad and Coal Company
through the city Of Heppner is
now settled by the action Of the
city council, Tuesday evening
The road will be built up the
natural grade Of Willow creek.
This Is by far the most satisfactory
route and is the logical course.
The fact that there was no oppo-
sition is evidence OF this.
The first franchise asked for was
for line up Gale street and down
May street to Court street.
Pressure Of this request would
have caused complications that
would have delayed great enter
prise.
1t is true that in going the
present route some property Will
be damaged, but it is impossible
for railroad to go through town
without damaging or going in front
of some ones property. The COM
pany will undoubtedly be willing
to allow damages for any injury.
The city council has given to
the Heppner Railroad and Coal
company substantial and valu-
able gift. But this gift will bear
fruit and return good value. 1t is
encouragement for forward move
ment that will add to the city's
wealth, growth and advancement.
While there may be some OBJ
jectionable features to railroad
through the town, there are no
more objections here than in any
other town, and towns must have
railroads.

THE FIRST WORK.

The first wolk on the railroad
from Heppner to the Morrow coun-
ty coal fields was the securing of
the franchise through the city.
Enough has already been said
and transpired to satisfy the peo-
pie that this road will be built,
and work will probably be COM
mepced just as soon as spring
opens.
The force of railroad hands to
build this road will be the vanguard
Of a new era of prosperity for
Heppner and Morrow comfy. To
build a road and develop the
mines will require the expenditure
of large capital.
In the discovery of this coal
field, Morrow county is fortunate.
Nothing could have a greater
tendency to help develop the coun-
ty than the opening up of these
mines.
At the least calculation the
mines will employ 500 men, who
with their families will increase
the population of the county at
least 1000 in a short time, and they
will be prosperous citizens, for
miners receive good pay for their
work. The tax roll will be SWELL
ed, and in few years every foot
of available land will be furnish
ing homes for people who will
come here.

Vision Applied to Smoking.

One particular trait Of persons who
are blind is there are scarcely any
smokers among them. Soldiers and
sailors who ,ose their sight while in
action sometimes continue to smoke
for short time after that great oalana.
Sty overtakes them, but as rule they
soon give up che habit altogether.
They say that it gives them no pleas-
ure when they cannot see the smoke,
and some have even gone 80 far as to
declare that smoke cannot be tasted
unless the vision beholds it. i
This odd theory mas been demon-
strated time and again By blindfolding
. man and leading MIN into a room
full Of tobacco smoke and then put
ting q lighted and AN unlighted cigar
in his mouth by turns. mo one in 8
thousand can distinguish between the
ssdead" cigar and the one that Is sin
