An Eventful Term.

"Thus Stuart, when he became
mayor of Philadelphia, made few
promises, and, such as they were,
they were simply and carefully ex-
pressed. But the city and its material
improvements advanced during the
four years of his term; the average
of the personnel of his administration
in point of character and efficiency
was creditable, and no responsible op-
ponent, however bitter, ventured to
advance even suspicion dishonorable
to its head At all times he was ac
cessible to all citizens, and none whose
complaint might be worth making ever
suggested that he did not have an Op-
portunity for fair play and courteous
hearing. The mayor, It is true. was
always reluctant to make a promise,
but when one was made II was kept.
Politically the Combine of Martin and
Porter houiished during his term, but

sound minded men must be that the OPP
portunity may be promptly seized to
rectlfy the errors OF the past. AVarlce,
cupidity and political grating have had
their sway, and the time is propitious
for better methods. 1t has always been
noticeable that Federal buildings are
honestly constructed. In San Francisco,
the New City Hall has fallen, but the
Mint stands. Here is a lesson for the
future that even Honolulu may safely
accept. Such reports as those of
Messrs Robinson and Pinkham, in the
face of the recent disaster on the main

ceive intelligent consideration as local
development actually begins. Expert
