There will ho time enough to criti
cise) olllclals when the present crisis
has passed. Until that time nny word
or net that serves to complicate the sit
uation nccompllshea nothing for pub
lic benefit r.nd engenders factional
strlfo when hearty cooperation Is de
manded. Keep cool and wait. Either 'tis or
tlsn't. If 'tis, there will bo plenty of
hard work to do next week and the
public will bo mightily thankful for
tho precautions taken. If 'tlsn't the
people can Join In a merry ha ha nr.'l
mako up for lost tlmo in preparations
for Christmas.
For onco Honolulu can give heart
felt thanks, for tho long period be
tween the arrival of creamers bound
for the Coast. It Is posslblo tho first
news of tho local situation will reach
tho States by way of Mnnlln. Hy tho
tlmo tho transport Shopman's stoiy Is
bent ovo" t'ti wires, ths confirmation
or limitation will bo received on the
west coast.
Hoodlums nio responsible for the
falluro oftentimes of tho lights at
Thomas Square on concert nights, and
it is also noted that In some of tho
outside districts tho now street signs
have been marred. Whether It Is tlm
boyish spirit to do something wrong or
tho natural etissedness of elderly boys,
vigorous measures should bo used to
prevent such wanton destruction.
Delays in tralllc and tho shortage In
tho provision market pones ns a good
pointer to mllltnry authorities In-providing
supplies In tlmo of war. If wo
had a largo garrison of soldiery to
feed, it would require comparatively
llttlo effort on tho part of the enemy
to starve Honolulu out To Uvo off
tho country Is practically an Impos
sibility for tho present population of
tho Island of Oahu.
Mark Hanna has put n quietus to tho
stories of his retirement from tho na
tional Republican committee. Ho will
stay by his post until tho national con
vention of 1900 when a now committee
will bo selected. Whether Hannn re
tains the leadership or not will ho de
termined later, but It may bo accepted
that ho will not bo a noncnlty what
ever his official position. Tho only
people evidencing marked anxiety to
secure Hunna's withdrawal nro tho
Democrats who fear his supcilor abili
ty In organizing political forces.
TUB MUNICIPAL PROGRAM.
What Is to bo tho inunlclpnl pro
gram for Hawaii? As yet tho first de
tails of outlino havo not fjeen mado ex
cept a movo on tho part of tho young
men of tho Research Club to open the
discussion. Suggestions aro needed
from all sources in order to adapt tho
experienco of other countries to what
ever peculiar conditions may exist In
Hawaii.
At the Columbus, O., meeting of the
National Municipal Lcaguo a commit
tee reported a municipal program in
tended to outlino a form of govern
ment under which municipalities will
oo least subject to corruption and best
adapted to securo tho advantages of
substantial growth. Tho men having
this work In hand were: H. E. Dcmlng
and Albert Shaw of Now York, Prof.
Frank J. Uoodnow of Columbia Uni
versity, Charles Illchardson and Clin
ton 11. Woodruff of Philadelphia, Prof.
I S. Rowo of University of Pennsyl
vania and Oeorgo W. tiuthrle of Pitts
burg. Tho program offered to and adopted
by tho convention proposes n general
municipal corporation act of which tho
following are tho most Important
points:
1. To remedy Ignorance, ofllclal and
popular. Competitive examinations to
test fitness for appointment to oflleo,
indeflnito ofllclal tenure, elabornto
financial accounts and reports, and n
public roster of pibnlclpnl employes.
2. To remova partisanship. Tho
separation of municipal from national
and stnto elections, nomination by pe
tition nnd civil service reform, Includ
ing tho prohibition of political nssesH
menta. 3. To lessen state Interference. The
cstabllshmentpt tho main outlines of
municipal government in the constitu
tion, tho limitation of special legisla
tion, and tho passage of a general
municipal corporations act.
, To destroy municipal Irrcsponsl
blllty. Tho declaration of tho city
local agency, and tho establishment
of a system of stato supervision.
C. To overcome Indeflnlteness of or
ganization. Tho enactment that tho
mayor and members or mo council
shall bo tho only municipal officers
elected by tho people, tho grant to tho
mayor of full authority to control tho
city's adinlnlstratlvo sorvlco subject
to civil service regulations, the estab
lishment of the council ns tho sole
legislative authority of tho city, and
tho guarantee to responsible citizens
of tho opportunity to nsslst in tho en
forcement of tho laws.
C. To resist tho evil tendencies of
Individualism. No legal remedy; but
reliance on -tho stubborn urgument of
civic necessity coupled with home rulo.
7. To remove Inadequacy of power.
A general grant of municipal author
ity, a great enlargement of tho city's
financial powers, nuthorlty to Initiate
tho annexation of suburban districts,
opportunity to chooso between opera
tion under general and operation un
der spcclnl laws, power to establish
minor courts "anil new municipal ofTl
ccs, and tho light, If tho city has 23,
000 population, to framo Its own char
ter. 8. To perfect democratic organiza
tion. Tho grant of nuthorlty to estab
lish minority or proportional represen
tation, nnd n system of direct legisla
tion. 9. To frustrate- greed. No lognl
remedy, save tho dcflnlto placing of re
sponsibility. 10. To develop civic Integrity. No
legal remedy, except tho establishment
of conditions fnvorablo to the awaken
ing of civic conscience.
11. To render harmless the private
control of public privileges. Tho limi
tation of frnnchlso grants In respect
to both procedure and duration nnd
tho grnnt of amplo authority for muni
cipal ownership and ojvratlon of pub
lic service agencies.
