ABRAHAM LINCOLN.

Ninety-six years ago yesterday, in
little log cabin in the Bluegrass State,
there came into the world one who
was destined to become the mainstay
of his country in her darkest hour.
The world was not kind to Abraham
Lincoln, yet the very obstacles against
which he was compelled to struggle
developed in him the traits of char
acter that made him tower above his
fellow men. BY the open grave of his
mother, in the forest hewing the rails
for the fences on his fathers farm,
in his struggling Jaw practice and his
political campaigns he developed that
sterling manhood and that self-reliance
whereby he was able to lead when all
others had signally failed. For oveI
four years he alone welded power
more despotic than that of any poten-
tate of earth. Armies were at his sole
command, the revenues of the nation
were practically at his disposal, by the
proclamation of martial law he might
deprive the people of any State OIL
every constitutional right, yet i'll his

absolutely safe. Surrounded by coun'
sellers in whose advice he could put
but little faith, few knew then how
many of the battles of the greatest
civil struggle the world has seen
were fought out in the dead of night
by the pale, careworn man who paced
the White House halls. What Lincoln
did for America and for the world we
are but beginning to appreciate. His
was life that has stood the severest
tests. A grateful nation will ever be
proud to count him among those who
truly "gave their last full measure of
devotion that she might survive to
fulfill her divinely appointed destiny,
! the regeneration of the world-the
uplifting of mankind.

PRESIDENT AND SENATE.

Trouble is brewing between the Pres
ident and the Senate over number of
things, including Santo Domingo The
action of the President in the black re-
public was certainly imperious enough,
though the Monroe doctrine bestows
upon the United States obligations to
keep the Latin States from bringing us
into war to serve their own purposes
Still, when the Senate is in session, it
ought to be consulted. as it was in the
Hawaiian restoration c, Sc OF 1894, be-
fore courses are taken which amount
TO an act OF war. President Grant, who
was accused of being something of a
Caesar himself, did not dare go so far
as to land marines or take charge of
custom houses in Santo Domingo. In
stead, ne left the matter to the wider
discretion of the Senate, with the result
that his plans were checkmated. In
the present case the Senate is assert
ing the right when was then conceded
TO it, to participate in adventures of
the Dominican sort,

OIL GREAT SUCCESS
ON ARIZONAN.

The American Hawaiian steamship
Arizonan, now at the railway wharf,
has proven to be great success as an
oil-burner. The vessel was changed
from coal to an oil-burner about five
months ago at New York. The best
time the Arizonan made under coal
from New York to San Francisco was
GO days. Her maiden trip under oil
burning was in "a days, and even this
time will be improved upon.
That trip made a saving of eight
days in time and ten men ,2ss were
carried in the engine-room. At the
same time the vessel IS cargo capacity
is increased to 400 tons more freight
The great space formerly taken up with
coal can now be utilized, or at least
the greater portion of it, for the stor
age of freight.
The Americana Hawaiian line has nine
steamers, four of which have been con
verified from coal to oil-burners. These
are the Nevadan, Nebraskan, Arizonar
and Alaskan. The remaining five boat.
will probably be changed over to oil

JOHN PAUL JONES.

"He did not fulfill his destiny"
said Napoleon when reviewing the short
but splendld career of John Paul Jones.
Had he lived to command the French
fleet at Trafalgar, the history of the
world might have been changed"
John Paul Jones was credited by the
master of the art of war with greater
naval capacity than Lord Nelson, a
judgment in which some cautious his
torians coincide. Although he rarely
had chance to prove his worth, when
he did get it, even though his ships
were outclassed by the enemy's, and
in spite of treason at his elbow, he
made sea power felt as it had not been
felt before since the days of the Arma
da. Few men ever fought under more
untoward circumstances. Refused the
command of frigate by Congress
which Judged naval claims by politi-
cal standard, he was forced to go to
sea in third-rate ship, yet he did
more brilliant service than any of his
successful rivals for high place. In
the navy of France, though made a
chevalier by the King, the machina-
tions of jealous ship-captains again

Russia, ana the favorite of Catherine.
he was once more baked by the jeal-
cusy of ais naval interiors. Yet in
spite of it all what he did on the sea
lives imperishably in the speech OF
men; and it was great enough to have
made Napoleon salute his memory.
President Roosevelt's proposal to
search for the ashes or the great com
mander and, if found, bring them to
America for burial under suitable
monument, will please the people to
whose enjoyment of political liberty
the sea victories of John Paul Jones
so largely contributed. Jones, it is
true, was not American born. He was q
Scotchman, and citizen of the world
but his fame rests upon the battles he
won under the Stars ana Stripes.

DOUBLE BENEFIT AVAILABLE.

Honolulu Is afflicted with the smoke
nuisance and the worst Of the ofeuSe
comes from the three pumping stations
of the government water works. In
the morning hours, before the trade
winds pipe up, heavy pail OF the car
bombed carnations from soft coal fur
naces hangs over the city. From ele-
vntions where the air is clear the
whole lower region of the town woula
appear to be undergoing slow cT-
bustion. The cloud of smoke from
government and private smokestacks
combined with the paludal vaPors the
doctors were discussing the other night
makes an atmosphere that can be any
thing hut good for the public health.
II is certainly unpleasant and withal
depressing.
Probably the government could not
have adopted oil for fuel within the
departing fiscal period, as no appro-
priation was made to cover the ex-
pense of the change. With the con-
slant necessity for economy in pub
lie expenditure, which is undiminish-
ed, as confronting the Legislature
about to meet, it is to be hoped that
the Superintendent of Public Works
will not overlook this fuel question in
his communications with the lawmak-
ers and disposers of the revenue. As
there is loss of 20 to 40 per cent. IN
the use of coal as compared with oil
for steam-producing purposes, no ques-
ton is really left to consider from
the economical point of view. The
abatement of the smoke nuisance is an
argument of itself which appeals TO
everybody. Members of the Legisla
ture ought to be relieved of any APP
prehension of rashDess in authorizing
the adoption of oil fuel for public
works, since most of the large con-
sumers of fuel of Honolulu and the is
land of Oahu, representing the shrewo-
est financial brains of the Territory,
have taken the lead in the matter.
These comprise five of the largest plan
tation companies, the Oahu sRailway
Co., the Rapid Transit Co., the Homo
lulu brewery, the Hawaiian Electric
Co., the Honolulu Iron Works and Cat
ton, Neill & Co.'s foundry, the Alex
ander Young Building Co., the Pacific
Guano & Fertilizer Co., the Hawaiian
Dredging Co., and two fruit preserv
ing companies. None of these con-
Germs would have discarded coal for
oil if the step had not been one of rs
sured economy. Then, why should the
government neglect to make the big
saving in its fuel bill, which the adop-
tion of oil fuel offersl Saving the rev.
enue and abating the smoke nuisance
at one stroke would make fine illus
tration of the proverbial killing of two
birds with one stone.

Rue des Ecluses Saint-Martin opposite
the house under which the remains of
Jones lie is named Rue vicq d'Azir

toinette, the same physician who visit
ed Jones with Gouverneur Morris.
The French government asserts that
1t betrayed the expenses of the COM
modore's funeral. Morris in his diary
says that the funeral was an extremely
simple one as the minister did not feel
authorized to spend the money of the
estate which was waited with impa-
thence by Jones's relatives or the
money of the United States. From
this it would seem that the French
government did not pay for the funeral
and it seems unlikely that the body
was buried in uniform.

The Hawaiian legislators-elect in the
Fifth District did well last night to in
dorse Mr.. Knudsen of Kauai for Speak
er of the House. This journal has
taken no sides in the speakership con-
test, and as things are now, does not
espouse anypody's candidacy; but 1t
feels that some recognition is due the
native members of the Fifth for the
patriotic way in which they dropped
their racial preference and centered
upon one of the aspirants for speaker
who is preferred by the business com
munity. Such thing augurs well fol
a short and otherwise creditable SEES
sion, and is a sign of the lapse of an
Gent differences.

1t looks like late hour to take up
a revision of our taxation laws, when
the members of the Legislature are
assembling for the session. The best
that could be done, in the short time
available, would be very liable to be
hasty legislation. If there are mani
fest wrongs in the existing system,
perhaps these might be definitely in
dicated and remedied at the APP
preaching session. But the question
in the large affects all classes and not
merely the mercantile and financial in
terests, so that it would appear that 9
thoroughly representative commission
of the best a.iiity in every part
should handle any general revision OF
the tax system. If county govern
inent is to be established this year, it
bearings would have to be taken init
account in any workable taxation
scheme.

C. L. Clement, who succeeded Judge
G. b. Robertson as editor of the Maui
News, is very capable newspaper man
indeed. His little paper, Side Lights,
formerly published at Hilo, warm ad-
vocate of diversified farming, was al

emit has fine field for his talent in
Maui, and his pathway to success will
be the easier for the previous hare
work of Judge Robertson. The latte

District Attorney, in a compromising

A stenographer in either house of
the Legislature is an utterly useless
officer. His piling up of notes in
hieroglyphics is of no service to any
body but himself. The notes are
neither published nor even extended
into manuscript, and are binding on no
member to impeach him for their rec
ord of his utterances in debate. A
stenographic clerk might expedite the
work of a committee, especially one
collecting specific testimony, but wher
