One of tho feats of the late mast-
clan Hermann was to catch bullets
fired nt him iolnt blank from a regu
lation army rifle. Was this a trick oi n
fake?
Iloer peacemakers say It Is n ii'.ub
born minority that Is keeping up the
war with Orcat llrltaln. If this bo
true. It Is the most effective minority
from the war standpoint that any na
tion ever encountered.
Judge Wilcox's throne of grace l
fast becoming a favorite resort for the
BPltlcnient of family troubles. If tho
Rood mlvlcc meted out by the Judge Is
followed out to the letter, the warring
families may be sure of steering clear
of tho divorce court.
Tho Canadian parson who was pub
licly horsewhipped by the hilfchand of
n woman who figured In the text of n
"reform' sermon, w 111 now be able to
preach another sermon on believing In
gossips. Hail the parson lecelved his
Just reward, It would have been bullets
Instead of whip lash.
Tho inunMpality Is expensive. That's
what tho opponents say. The man who
will ride the lenqth of King street.
Wilder nvenue or any number of less
Important thoroughfares, will come to
the prompt conclusion that the chnp
conduct of ntfalrB under a centralized
government Is expensive at rr. price.
Not one In a hundred of tho passen
gers trncllng on out Inter-Island boats
hae ever known or ccr stopped to
think whether the steamers were equip
ped with permanent life saving appa
ratus or not. Tho serious necldcnt has
yet to occur where the lives of any
number of Island passengers have been
threatened by the dangers of the sea.
Having dono yeomnn scrvlco In as
slstlng Cnrrlngton to work a telephone
film Ham game on tho public, the
Morning Organ Is haunted with poker
tables fitted with wires and cards up
the sleeve. Playing cards for money
Is a pastime subject to Pollco Court
flues. It Is really amusing when ex-
tremo piety expresses Itself In n de
mand for a square gamblers game.
At the present rate of progress the
children of today will liavo to take up
the Interminable work of settling up
the Chlneso embiogllo. If tho powers
were studiedly delaying matters hop
ing that tho natural death of the Dow
ager Empress would clarify the situa
tion, they could not be moro tardy In
accomplishing results. LI Hung Chang
will teo n century of activity If ho out
lives the period of negotiations.
Those who have witnessed tho good
work of tho Young Men's Institute as
conducted In Mainland cities will no
pleased to nets tho organization star"d
among the young men of Catholic faith
In Honolulu. Tho Institute Is dolus a
work that compares favorably win
older Institutions of Its kind. Hono
lulu can liavo nana too many organiza
tions that serve to give young men n
better appreciation of their dut's,us
Christian citizens. ,
Tho formation of military com
panies outside Honolulu gives tho Na
tional Guard a 'Pope wh'eh It has fail
ed to possess during revolutionary
da s. Although peace Is assuied tliU
organization ought to be enabled by
proper legislation and appropriation to
further extend Its activities Com
panics In tho country dlstr'cts nay In
a measure lie able to take the place of
tho Citizens' Guard which scums doom

Tho Parson Sheriff of Portland. Me.
started out on his first official day with
several large seizures of liquor sold
contrary to law. This Is what every
new county sheriff does In the Stato
of Maine, Just to Impress the people,
thnt a new man Is In offlce. Whcro tho
Rev. Pearson's big fight will come Is
In securing convictions and heavy pen
alties In the courts. Liquor seizures In
prohibition Maine are the periodical
order of tho day. If the new sheriff
can make these seizures and costs of
court unprofitable to the Illicit dealer,
a winning fight will bo assured. And
when tho next election comes around
the Rev. Mr. Pearson will not bo ro-
elected sheriff.
Tho Homo Rule Charter Commission
or any other volunteer charter commis
sion has full right to conduct all Its
sessions behind closed doors nnd make
all Its work secret work. This course
does not tend, howovcr, to Insplro pub
He confidence In tho work done. A
scheme of government should In these
days be open and abovo board In all
Its details, the discussions of the frnm
era nnd the motives prompting every
action, Whllo tho Inception of Inde
pendent municipalities Is In n measure
rewdtitlomiry, It Is not necessary In
these days for conspirators of progress
fulfilling tho demands of tho people to
clothe their discussions nnd reports
with secrecy. That Is n relic of former
days.
WHERE EXPENSE MB IN
Editor Evening llulletln That It Is
a disgrace In this twentieth century
to be a city which confesses to the pro
vulenco of such diseases as leprosy,'
such epidemics as cholera, and bubonic
plaguo does not srem to dawn upon tho
officials of the Territorial Government.
Neither does it seem to be clear to
them that nn attempt to cover up cor
ruption la not as honest as to eradicate
It.
Wo must go to Canton, Hongkong
and Calcutta for 'a- like progressive
modern spirit in city administration or
clso back to tho 13th century In the
history of London and Purls. It wns
during tho rclgrt of Philippe Augusts.
that open trenches In the middle of the
roadway In Paris served for drainage
naked and shnmtlcss; that gratotarjls
were unfenced In tho midst of humble
homes; and that the constant disease
and frequent epidemics which cum
from nil this foulness were fathered
on n convelcnt ProUdoncc. However,
this wns the consolation of the Illiter
ate and Imbecile, for It remained for
tho shining lights of science to show
that tho bubonic plaguo came from
maleficent comets their tails toward
tho Orient. It was not till the close of
the sixteenth century that tha common
sense Faculty of Medicine Indti'lcA the
drains nnd cesspools ns tho principal
orlcln of nil maladies then prevalent.
That the city of Honolulu nt the
opening of the twentieth century fur
nishes londltlons decades behind the
rest of the civilized world, may prop
erly furnish food for thought to tliow
organs nnd officials who pipe the tune
of the burden of Inci eased taxation to
the small balder as an Insurmountable
obstacle to municipal renovation. And
In the next b-eath admit that three
fourths of nil the property In Honolulu
Is held by a few Intelligent white peo
ple. The reproach for this condition, ills
graceful and humiliating as It Is. rests
then with the Intelligent remnant who
prefer to Uc a.nong numerous open
graveyards crowded past belief, than to
pay fur their removal.
In the fare of all the foulness and
chaos nttendaut upon the Inertia of
the Heard of Ilcilth and Hoard of Pub
lie Works during recent years, there
arc no signs of nn earnest, systematic.
far-seeing effort on the part of the
Territorial Government to Inaugurate
n system of better days. The mibter-
fugo of expense Is for the man who
doesn't reckon the cost of epidemics.
If the sums expended for those costly
vhltatlons (ono million dollars for the
bubonic plague nnd a large amount fir
the cholera) had been Invested In
municipal renovations, tho taxpayers
would now hnvc something to show for
their money besides n plague stricken
city.
And yet they say nn effrctlvo municipal-
government Is expensive.

Man'la, Monday, Dec, 31, The
Philippine .Confmlssfon has com
pleted tiie preparation" of n general
municipal government bill, The
provisions, -In many respects, are
similar to General MacArthur's
order regarding municipal govern
ments nnd authorizing elections,
but thnt arc much more elaborate,
covering all details. The mdst no
table new feature is tkejcstabllsh
nient at land taxatlpn.nnd the do

tax) and taxation on "Venule's oc
cupations. ,A feature new to the

lly the way, would It not bo n good
Idea for those taking part In this ills'
cusslon to reduco their arguments to
writing and give them to tho press so
that those unable to attend may have
the benefit of the same? ,
Undoubtedly thoso addressing the
club will take up the cntlro matter of
taxation both direct nnd Indirect, tho
latter Including the present system ot
license for icvemie nnd the distribution
of tho burdens 'of taxation created
thereunder.
Another factor that demands the no
tice of the public Is the rcsponslblll'y
for the education of those children
largely In evidence among recent In
portntlons of plantation recruits w' p
the aerago cost of $10 to $17.50 per
child per annum these would cut,qulto
a figure as "tax enters," to say nothing
of their moral Influence whllo being
"assimilated."
This entire question of taxation so
far as reference to past systems Is con
cerned must rest on fads. Figures

peutilful spi Inkling of lompnfatlvo ta

tunity for Individuals to Judge of th"
correctness of deductions thnt may bo
made by thoso addressing the club.
