THE ELECTRIC RAILWAY
CHARTER.
It is unfortunate for those whoso
interests tho Star is advocating
that it is ntlowing its temper to
got the bottor of its judgment.
It is not pursuing the discussion
in rogard to the railway charter
with tlio calmness and prudonao
thnt ought to oharnctorze n con
troversy of this nature. ' If there
are nny objoottons of a nature that
would warrant tho Sonato in ro
jecting tho bill, the Star should
produce them.
Tho exemptions ns to taxation,
limited to the two years during
which the road will bo undor con
struction, is certainly nut a suffi
cient reason; nor is tho exemp
tion from custom duty a very
important matter, as tho matorial
will be nlmost wholly purchased
in tho United States and by treaty
will bo froe of duty. The plans und
specifications have to bo submit
ted to tho Minister of tho Interior
for his approval, boforo any work
can be done on tho road. This in
plain English means that tho
Minister must approve the plans
(showing the location and stylo
of the road) and specifications
(the matorial and mothod of
construction), before the com
pany can do one stroko of
work, and it is a question in our
minds, as to whothor this provi
sion is not altogether too far
reaching. Tho Minister would
have it in h:s powor to refuse his
approval, and theroby actually
piovont the construction of the
load.
Tho interest of the publio as to
rates and servico is also, in. our
judgment, fully protected, as tho
company's tables require tho con
sent of tho Exeoutivo Council.
The Counoil can surely be depend
ed on to seo that tho community
Will noj; bo imposed upon.
The company undertakes to
have fifteen miles of the road con
structed within two years, and in
operation, and tho servico has to
be approved by the Excoutive,
otherwiso thoy forfeit the right to
use any streets not then occupied
by them. The success of tho pro
ject ns a businoss proposition do
ponds upon the 09iuiuny construct
ing and operating at loi.st fifteen
miltx, und no bottor sfo guard in
this connection than their own in
terest is required.
It lihS beon suggo:ttd thnt tho
company " provide a satiafactry
bond for a reas inutile amount that
they will begin construction with
in a fix"d pnriod We understapd
from this morning's Advortiaer
ttmt there is .u objection to
give u bond t at they will
begin aotual bona fido construc
tion, within a reasonable period
alter they aro in possession of an
undisputed right of nay,nr if they
h ive proper U83uruu.ee that they
will hityo possession of th'is right
of way at a fixod poriod, they will
fix a positive date in tho bond,
It must uot be forgotten that
them is uiiothor nido to this ques
tion thte benofits to bo derived
both by the city and Govornmojit,
suoii as incntasod value of pro-
perty and iuoreauod rovonuo to
tho Government from taxation,
both on tho company') plant and
proporty honutitod by the con
struction of tlir road, tho fuoilitioi
for rup.d, cheap und clean transit,
tho annual expenditure of not
less than $135,000 amongst our
pcopto on account of wages and
supplies and tho groator induce
ment for tourists to visit tho isl
ands as tho construction of tho
road will, in all probability, mean
the construction of modorn hotels
at Wuikiki. This has beon along
felt want, yet strange to aay nono
of local cii italists have had suffi
cient enterprise or pluck to under
take tho construction of such a
building.
It is practically a year since
our Viotona friends filed thoir
application with tho Exocutivo for
this franchise. If looal capital is
roady to build tho road why
has it not como forward with an
application for a charter. It would
unquestionably bo given tho pro
foroncs. Evidontly local capital
ists aro not roady to undertako it,
and nro wo then to bo deprived of
tho bonofit which tho construc
tion of tho road will confor upon
this community?
OBSERVATIONS.
Anothor filibuster yarn is wipod

According to tho report of tho
Unitod States Steamboat inspec
tion Sorvioe, tho loss of lifo in the
United Stutes ' by disasters to
stoamors is only one in 2,708,333
passongers carried. Under tho
law of 1852 tho average loss of life
was one persou to every 250,181
porsons carried. The largo do
creaso in fatality is croditod to
the law of 1871, whioh greatly
improved tho service. Tho loss
of lifo on stoam vessels last year
was 368, an incroaso of 128 over
the averago for tho past eighteen
years This increase was caused
by tho loss of the Colima off the
Pncilio coast. The foregoing
figures show that it is comparative
ly safe to go to sea in steamers
nowadays.

Most people make their wills
before they die, and some of
them are great curiosities in
their way. Among the many
curious legacies made lately is
that ot a Christiana man who
directs that his whole fortune
shall be expended in bicycles.
A Norwegian newspaper which
does not give itselt up to the
comic element relates that a
Dutch lawyer, named Nikolson,
bequeathed the whole of his
property to trustees, to be em
ployed in the purchase of bicy
cles for the use of children at
tending school, while part of
the money is to go towards
paying the teacher to train the
boys in bicycle riding.
The validity of the will has
been disputed by the sons of
the testator, who refuse to ac
knowledge it, so that it is still a
question of doubt whether the
children will reap the benefit
of the strange bequest. That
the testator was sincere enough,
and that he recognized in the
wheel untold blessings which
might have escaped the ob
servation of minds of less
acumen, the concluding portion
of the will should go to prove.
It says :-
1 have always found a bi
cycle capital protection against
the importunity of those
people who persist in stopping
you in your walk to spin a long
yarn in the hot sun or in the
biting east wind. My machine,
unlike a horse, nevershied once;
and in my drives I have had no
need to intrust life and limb
to the tender mercies of a
coachman."
Now that lawyer had good
hard, solid sense and plenty of
it, in fact, a good deal more of
it than most lawyers are credit
ed with, and yet not more than
many boys and girls in Hono
lulu have, for are there not
many of the latter who are
spending their whole fortunes
in purchasing a bicycle and they
are wise in spending their
money on something that will
give them their money's worth
every time.
The bicycle of the Khedive
of Egypt is a gorgeous ma
chine, almost entirely covered
with silver plating but if anyone
wants a duplicate of it we can.
furnish it, or if something
"English you know" is wanted
we can supply similiar ma
chines to those used by the
PrinceEof Wales' boys and girls,
all of whom are expert riders:
But for common every day
people like those who reside in
Paradise, we mean the Hawaii
an Paradise, the Monarch is
the machine to buy. It gives
you better value for the money
than any other make, and we
can furnish it in any style and
price. We have received by
the Australia the largest con
signment of wheels ever brought
to the islands, and also a1
complete line of extra fittings.
If any portion of a Monarch
wheel gets broken orout of
order we can replace it at a
moment's notice at factory
prices.
Mr. T. V. King, who arrived
by the same steamer, will have
charge of the mechanical depart
ment of our bicycle business.
His large experience in that line
enables us to guarantee satisfac
tion in all work entrusted to
him.
