Getting a Dead Man Out Of a Hotel.

St. Louis Republic.
II was stopping at the United
States hotel in New York several
years ago." said Mr.. William I. Mon
tague, ''and while there formed very
pleasant acquaintance with the chief
clerk. We ere chatting one after
noon when a bellboy came to him and
stated the man in No. SO was dead.
He had been ailing for some time and
had probably died of what doctors
now call heart failure The hotel was
full of guests, and how to remove the
man without arousing their suspic-
ions was puzzling question. The de-
ceased had a sister living on Thirty
first street. and it was decided to car
ry the body to her home A hack
was called, and two of the stoutest
porters were called upon to dress the
body in everyday custome, and with
one on each side walk him down
stairs as if he was in maudlin state
OF intoxication. Everything worked
to perfection. and in a half hour the
dead body had been seated in the
hack and driven away, none of the
guests being the wiser for what had
happened"

MOVING FOR LOW RATES.

The Merchants Association is taking
up the matter of steamship rates with
an earnestness and force of logic which
ought to bring results. The report of
its committee, printed in this issue, is
public document of great value. 1t
not merely asserts but proves that the
steamship lines are discriminating
against Honolulu: and it details the
methods by which such hostility may
be combated.
A debate on the report will be held
on Friday at the rooms of the Asso-
citation in the Young Building. If it
brings about n concerted public effort
to get lower passenger rates between
San Francisco and this port, it will not
have been held in vain; for it is surely
within the power of the men who make
Honolulu business for steamship lines
to compel fair play. They can have
lower rates If they want them. All
that is needed is for the heavy shippers
to unite.

TRUSTS.

There are no politics in trusts. The
Fifty-third Congress, Democratic, did
not raise finger against trusts. Re
publican Legislatures have been just as
active and fruitlessly active against
trusts as Democratic Legislatures The
Federal law against trusts bears the
name of u Republican. Democrats are
just as much engaged in the existing
trusts as Republicans are. In fact
trusts are no more Republican and no
less Democratic than are partnerships.
AS TO the hope of regulating them
Grover Cleveland proposed n way and
Theodore Roosevelt, in his dealing with
the Northern Securities case, found
one. Mr.. Hearst, in his suit against
the coal trust found another. But the
trouble Is that the trusts are so pow
erful and protean that, when checked
in one place they turn up in another
with their charters and methods
changed to save their powers of mis-
chief.

MORE TIME FOR THE FAIR.

The claim is made that the physical
setting of the Worlds Fair at st. Louis
has cost over $60,000,000 Certainly the
pictures of the place suggest height
and breadth of splendor which only a
prodigal use of millions could supply.
1t is a tremendous outlay for tran
silent show, for a Worlds Fair in the
northern climate of the United States
only presents a completed display for
about four months and during that
brief space of time it must look for
nearly all the returns it is to get from
its investment
Why would it not be practicable to
keep such a fair as that at St. Louis
running for two years. giving it Sec
ond summer with added attractions?
Is it not to be supposed that, with the
world to draw upon, 1t could expect
longer run than Barnum's circus
counts upon when it visits New York
or than Irving may expect when he
opens new and stirring season in
London? Here is the greatest show
ever made in the world, this one at St.
Louis, and yet We give ii lease of life
through a shortened summer only. 1t
deserves to be held together so long
as there are enough people DESTROYS of
seeing it to pay its running expenses
and swell sinking fund.

MINES IN WAR

Some days ago news came by cable
from Toxic that events of first impor-
lance might be looked for soon at Port
Arthur 1t was intimated that the Jap
anese would assault. Now comes the
report from Alexieff's headquarters
at Mukden that the little brown men
were repulsed and $4,000 of them killed
by the explosion of mines; report
which is reiterated by the General Staff
at st. Petersburg with the further
claim that 10000 We're killed. If the
news is half true it is bad enough; If
it is wholly true it is a terrible dis
aster to Japan and bad beginning Tor
Marshal Oyama and General kodama,
who must have arrived on the peninsula
in time to direct the assault.
Mines are changing the character of
war both by sea and land. They are
not precisely new, but they have never
before been put to such decisive use.
Before the outbreak of hostilities be-
tween Japan and Russia at least one
great fleet action was expected; but
none came, although naval losses on
both sides have been large. That NOV
ing mine called the torpedo boat and
the anchored and floating mine have
fought out this war, the fleets being
careful not to range up and fight in the
good, old-fashioned way.
on land the first great loss, assuming
the reports from the Russian staff to
be true, were caused, not by the shock
of contending hosts, but by the pressure
of n button connected with buried eX-
plosives. The affair at Port Arthur
was not a battle but massacre, not
the work of Valor but of machinery.
SO was the sinking of the Petropo-
volsk and the Hatsuse. What is to be-
come of war If ships cannot swim the
sea or men march on the land without
peril of invisible dynamite? VIII 1t be
driven into the air as Tennyson fore
saw or will 1t give way as settlement
of private grievances by force finally
did to the adjudication of law?

POLITICS As A CAREER.

Senator Depew in his recent address
at Yale gave young men some sound
advice against going into public life
but he overdid the matter when he said
that "There is not an instance on rec
ord where young man has entered
an administrative department and has
afterwards risen to position of pro-
mlnence.'
The New York Senator overlooks
some object lessons close at hand. A
young man named Daniel S. Lamont
took small public clerkship at AL
bany, in the Senator's State. became
secretary to a Governor and President,
then Secretary of War and is now a
railway manager and millionaire.
George b. Cortelyou, one of the rising
men of the country, was department
stenographer but a few years ago.
John Hay began his public career as
an assistant private secretary to Presi-
dent Lincoln. Representative Hit be-
gan as a Government messenger and
Senator German as page. There are
probably many other exceptions to the
Depew rule worth looking up.
Still in a general way the New York
Senator is right. A Government clerk
rarely grows, except in his own sub
ordinate line of duty. A regular salary
and short hours spoil him for private
business and his absence from the
place where his pull was gained soon
loses it for him and he can expect no
more home backing for a higher post.
When the time comes for him to get
out Of office he finds that a political
career is no recommendation to a bust
ness one. Most Government clerks and
pretty near all honest politicians die
poor. The exceptions merely prove the
rule.
Honolulu can afford some cogent ex-
amples of the bad beginning which
young man makes when he goes into
politics for a livelihood, but they are
too near home to point out.

Democrats who flatter themselves that
Parker will be elected and will carry
both houses of Congress" should post
up. The United States Senate, as a
hold-over body, must 'be Republican,, for
about eight years, save in the improb-
able contingency that enough Repub-
lican members will die and have Demo-
cratic successors to change its politics.
One of the things that leads many Re-
publicans in the East to desert Roose-
welt is the knowledge that a Republican
Senate is secure and that it would pre-
vent the Democrats, if in power other
wise, from doing any mischief.

DEATH OF PAUL KRUGER.

Dom Paul, whose death has just been
announced, was strong and pathetic
figure in the history of his times. A
Dutch Covenanter in his religious views
he was also one in the sternness of his
militant character; and with prayer on
his lips and with stout sword in his
hand he led in the work of establishing
a great pastoral kingdom in the wilds
of South Africa-one modelled, in some
degree, upon the Israelitish theocracy.
1t was not kingdom in name but in
fact, for ii was ruled in large measure
by one man and that one was Dom
Paul Kruger. To him, no doubt, it
owes its fall as well as its upbuilding.
The trouble with Dom Paul was that
he set himself like lion in the path
of civilization. His semi Hebrew State
belonged to the desert life of three
thousand years ago not to the progress
sive life of the nineteenth century. For
its existence it depended upon isolation,
and isolation had become impossible.
The great outside world needed South
Africa; it called for the gold in it's
depths and the opportunities of trade
and government on its surface. With
singular faulty, so often shown by
those who believe themselves the chos-
en- of God, Dom Paul and his followers
babe the outside world stay outside.
What followed shows that nothing
man can set up will repulse civilization.
Like the great forces of nature 1t must
have its way, Dom Paul prayed against
it with all the strength of devotional
nature. He armed his people against II
and challenged an empire To battle;
but he and his cause went down as the
fates which stand behind the progress
OF the world ordained, And what a
fan was therel There is little In the
history OF the last century, save the
fan OF Napoleon and his empire, that
presents a more impressive spectacle

ONE OFFICE AT A TIME.

Acting Governor Atkinson is right in
deciding that Legislator Hama is not
eligible to the office of district magis-
trate whether he resigns his seat in
the House or not. A legislator cannot
resign to the Governor nor would a
resignation filed with the Legislature
itself, were that body in session, an
swer Mr.. Hana's purpose. The law
distinctly holds Mr.. Hama TO one office
during the time for which he was elect
ed, in terms as follows:
Organic Act, Sec. II. That no MEM
Der of the Legislature shall. during the
term for which he is elected, be APP
pointed or elected to any office of the
Territory of Hawaii.
There are one or two other cases in
which application of the law should be
made.
