REVELATIONS IN
NEW STATISTICS

just issuing from the press the most
pretentious Topographic compilation
ever arranged in the Territory and pos
sibly in the country, the board of
health has arranged the vital statistics
of Hawaii in new form. While not a
"'yard long and an ell wide" as in the
fairy tales, it is the largest folio pub
lished locally for a long while. The
stories told in its figures, many of which
are altogether new, is strikingly vivid
one. The Governor S reports for twelve
years, special magazine articles and ar
ticles on Hawaii in general so far issued
have not spanned the facts relative to
/; Hawaiian growth and conditions that
have been put into this book.
Its tables are of births, deaths, birth
and death rates, mortality rates, infant
mortality and marriages. The cross sys-
tens adopted make the record wonder
fully complete. In deaths, 80 quote
one instance, they are given for the last
twelve years by counties, sex and ma
tionality. These again, are elaborated
upon through twenty five pages and in
Guiding 10000 figures. The question
can be looked up in, with the help OF
these tables, from every conceivable
point of view.
The comparisons possible are end
less but chiefly interesting are the birth
and deaths statistics. Thus, for instance
it is shown that the gain of population
| by natural increase in twelve years has
| been only 4944- The total number OF
births in that time were 40,505, OF
which japanese and Chinese births mum
| bered 1891. The Hawaiian births and
part. Hawaiian births numbered S776
Contrasting that with the number OF
| Hawaiian and part-Hawafian deaths as
shown by the table, it will be seen thai
this branch of the population has de
! creased in twelve years by 5157, q
slight increase of part Hawaiians moi
being sufficient to Offset the tremendous
mortality among Hawaiians, which to
tailed 1877.

How II IL Worked.
Captain Pliz, master Of tho cable
schooner Flaurence Ward. whose wife
IL one Of the claimants for losses Of
bananas, states that his wife was told
on the street short time ago that ~
she had lost any bananas during the
anti.mosquito campaign, she should
hurry to file her claim as there were
many before her, and people were
standing in line at Hon. Jack Kala.
kiela s Office to file them.
She hurried over to the Office and
was asked what her losses were. She
replied that she had lost so many trees
and was told she should file claim.
Hon. Jack placed some papers before
her, one of which she read and which
she was asked to sign, which she did.
She also signed another paper, but she
is not so clear as to lust what this
paper contained, but thought it was
like the first.
When she had signed, Hon. Jack
asked her to produce two dollars. She
hesitated and then thought she should
have first consulted her husband. Hon.
Jack told her that if she did not take
this course and her claim was settled
in the Legislature, he, the Hon. Jack,
would charge her about twenty or
twenty-five per cent of the amount
awarded her for the loss of her trees.
Captain Piltz believes that this sum
mary method of dealing with claimants
is reprehensible and would have ad-
vised different course had he known
of the matter. Mrs Piltz on being
produced her two dollars, paid it to
the Hon. Jack, and left the office.
Working for His Graft.
Kalakiela is not working out of pure
philanthropy for the claimants, but for
what he can get out of the business
and draws no fine line of distinction
between the public duty to which he
was elected and appointed by his fell
low Democrats of the legislature, but
for Jack Kalakiela, making capital OF
the fact that he was elected to his
office and using this as bait, lures
the claimants on to producing two dol
lars apiece.
At two dollars each the two hundred
claims would give Kalakiela in the
neighborhood of 5000 to $500. On the
10th of this month, Hon. Jack Kala
lSiela will commence drawing pay from
the government, receiving 5000 for the
sixty-day term.
For the four months he would there
fore receive, through the instrumen
tally of his having been elected to the
legislature about $1,000.

THE PHILIPPINE PROBLEM

THE desire of the FpnoS for Segovernment IS one o the
 perpexing problems that confront the administration The
 Democratic party is committed to the principle that they right their independence There IS scarcely Demo cratic the nation but that believes that the United States should of the Philippine islands tor ever against the will of the inhabitants In fact two or three times decade the Democrats fixed day certain beyond which the possession should not extend and the dates upon long have been passed All things considered the representatives of the pno Congress have every reason to speak up expean and hopefully to Demo- cratic administration when they ask for immediate ndeend ence for their people
 Yet there is a duty before administration that is of more
 than party consistency question not at what time Democrats thought in that the Fpnos would be ready for sefgovenmen they ready now There is no question about the administrations attitude toward the final independence of the islands The American government does not desire to retain the islands against the will of the Fpnos ty to the world to the Fpnos to itself by thrusng new and unprepared nation onto the The responsibilities or this country will not with the establishment o the Phil ppne nation Therefore will be the duty of Americans to determine as to whether not there fair chance that the new country could maintain it's independent existence with such hep from this country nation give another before they can turn it a That does not mean that IS our duty to convince ourselves the Fpnos give themselves better government than give hem but we should be con vnced that they can will maintain government in which every stratum of society will be fairly treated before we grant them independence.
 There is no doubt but that President Wilson will go into the Pbppne question thoroughly with the spirit of American de-
 ocracv and the natural rights of the Filipino people occupying first place in his thoughts and his heart

POLTTENESS POWERFUL
 ASSET IN LIFE

Politeness is not the only quality which has helped James Hamilton Lewis to a seat in the United States Senate. Mir Lewis possesses real ability Mentally progressive, he has grown much since he left Seattle; and he was by no means dullard when Seattle claimed him.
 But Mir. Lewis is model of polite ness; he is suave, courtly, fetching in manner, and it would be easy to pick him out in any sort of crowd which might be assembled in America.
 It isn't matter of dress in his case, though he takes his decrees in such matters fresh from fashion.
 It is the Lewis bow more than any thing else which commands attention, for the Lewis bow seems to be the final word in bows.

The courtly bow is powerful fac tor in life; we bow respectfully to la. dies of our acquaintance; We bow cor dially to men acquaintances, and we bow deferentially to men and women of distinction, or to our superiors in so- cial. civic, or military rank. The bow is akin to the agreeable custom of greeting friends or acquaintances with a salute of the hand, or by raising the hat, and all these and other means of polite salutation, evolved, of course from the habit of kissing.
 But familiar as we are with the bow and the use of bows, we cannot claim to have personally attained the perfection which characterizes the Lewis bow.
 James Hamilton Lewis has bowed his way into the Senate; he will bow his way into the good graces of Sen ators; and the chances are that the man who prizes him out of the Senate will have to improve on the Lewis bow.-Seattle Sun.
