What were the citizens of Haw-nll luring the period between annexitlon and tho establishment of the Terrltoiy, n people without a country? The Judge who allowed cigarettes ns the basis for an absolute divorce ought to havo n monument erected to his memory, and a copy of his decree made a text book In every public school. Had the public nuy conlUUnce what ever In the honesty oHntcgrlty of pur pose of the AiUertlsei. the numerous and conlllctlng explanations of Its per sonally conducted shooting scrape might have some foice and effect, fu ller the circumstances the organ's pro testations are merely n laughing stock. Argument over the time of the Chi nese New Year Is on the same order as tho constitution follows the Hag dis cussion. Either decision falls to sntlsfy everjone. The refusal of the Chinese citizens to kowtow to the Son of Heav en Idea Is n sufuclcnt evidence of en lightened progress to warrant the citi zens having a. special day apart from government representatives. Tho conversion of MOO Filipinos to the Protestant faith hounds large, but oVrrlcncc has not led the general pub lic to have marked cunfldeuco ltrtjie staying powers of the convert. The less enlightened people take up with a new religion as they do with a new toy. It Is snfo to say the Protestant faith Is ns (Irmly Implanted In the minds of the converted Filipinos ns are the prin ciples of' the American Constitution. If, however, this revUnl causes the people to throw off the yoke if th friars. It. will not be without a mostW tlmable result. A bond Issue Is about the only way open to the Territory for paying the extensive (Ire claims. Should a bar ter for Honolulu be passed there will doubtless bo nn effort to force tho bonded debt upon Honolulu. Such n measure ought and probably would fall. The same reasoning that would accom plish Its defeat ought to secure a part payment of the debt through the turn ing back of national revenues collected nt Hawaiian ports. Congress estab lished n precedent In dealing with Por to It! ro that might bo followed In Ha waii If the Legislature and the Dele gate mado the effort to accomplish such an end. Cuba's constitutional convention has voted for a free franchise nnd minority representation. The first nlready exIstB In Hawaii and the last Is likely to' bn provided If plans of somo of our lead ing legislators are carried out. Minor ity representation in this country will take something of the shape of a sop to a minority faction that has In times past forced minority rule upon the people. 'but havo been expelled from tho throne by thb beneficent Influ'ifit-n of American law. Cuba's minority Judging from tho despatches Is some what worried. Onuged by experlenco in Hawaii they hnvo rcntou to be but tho country will live nnd prosper Just the shine. INCO.MPHTI1NT INDIPI'BIJIJN'CE. th Ily what right, title or Inteicat does tho I'ubllc Works department allow 1.1 lllia stieet to lioroiAe blocked to traffic Ly reason of tho Itnpid Trnnslt com pany's operations!. Does this Transit company own tho "government" de partment or the public streets or dues the government own the Trnnslt com pany? Has tho taxpayer or property holder any right whatever in tho esti mation of tho goernmcnt or the pub lic works department? If ho has thero Is no evidence of it on I.lllha street. Tho statement may bo made that It Is Imposslblo for tho Hnpld Transit 10m pnny to lay Its tracks without blocking this stieet. Such a. statement Is bosh pure nnd simple. Any man, woman or child who has ever witnessed tiack laying operations In any of the "cor rupt" municipalities of the Mainland from Now York to San Krnnclsco know It to be bosh. New York, Iloston and ., San Francisco transit companies have put down tracks on streets much nnr tower nnd requiring equally extenslvo excavations but they arc not allowed to blockade the street. It might be moro expensive to tho Transit company If It wcro forced to conduct Its operations In a manner that would not block I.lllha street. It doubtless would be moro expensive. Is there anything in tho company's char ter nuthurlliiK the I'ubllc Works de partment to nllow this private corpor ation to havo full tontiol over tho streets thnt it may savo money nt an expense of serious Inconvenlcnco to property holders and danger to persons : trnvcislng the public highway In 3ar-l riages; inoro is not. And such was not and is not the spirit or Intent of the charter. Thnt the conditions tin LUtlia street are allowed Up exist, con tinue tn exist and to coexist witli the Indifference or consent of the l'uhlle Works department tells Its own story, s. far as the talmei la concerned. It shows cither Incompetence or Indiffer ence or a desire to help the corporation out at the public expense. The Uullctln Is not disponed to charge the latter, i but ncceptan of either the other horns of the dilemma by the depatt mom accomplishes tho same result tn tlio equation. t WHIPPING I'OST IJIiVIVAL. The revival of whipping as punish ment for youthful offenders, wife beat eis. kldnnpeis In tlio staid old Stateof Connecticut is an xpctlment thnt Wli be watihcd with great Interest by nil thnso inteiested In reformatory meas ures. The pinple of Connecticut nro as thoioughly ' adtanred" thoughtful and conseivntlw as any on tho face of tho globe. Their pilsons Jails and reformatory schools hiie been devel oped under caieful direction nnd thor ough study of irlmluulogy practical and theoretical. When this State of all others reert to nn up-to-date mollification of tho whipping post, the citizens of younger cimtnitnttlts may well gltc serious at-1 Mention tn the uiluc of the partennl I slipper administered by public nlllccrs. If Connecticut mnkes a Hirers of itj there ate likely to be plenty of follow er. In Its wake. There Is every icason to bcllce that this modernized whipping post tan be mado n success. The sentiment against it was created to a pent ex tent by tlie whipping post of former days belns a svnonym for brutality Hard neatlcd Puritans were from the vry ncf re of inelr surroundings, not delicate when wielding the lash. Pub He whinr'ns ca'iic to be associated with lacerated tlcsh, a bruised and battel ed body and the cruel blow of the sl.no diler. As every man cin nttcst. it Is the sting of the slipper and the ignominy of being upset over the mother's knee, tint has real force nnd effect In the pteei.tlou of future wrong doing. It Is the sting of the ruler rather, than a hri 'ally bruised hand that causes the school boy to think twice before run ning counter to the mandates of bis tiacher. Consequently If tho modern spanking can be extended In such of fenders as usually appear from time to time In police courts there Is good rea son why It should be productive of good lesults. II Hawaii's reformatory system had reached anything like a modern stan dard In other details It might be well to suggest the Introduction of Hogging ns one of our penul Institutions. Under the (li'cumstnmcs. with reformatory "standards and methods comparable only with the South where pinetlcnlly no study Is made of the criminal or outhful offender, Hawaii has enough tn do in advancing nnd modernizing such Institutions ns It has without tag ging on a new Idea which It is not prepnied to carry out. Those Interested In reformation. howe-er, should not loso the opportunity to watch closely tho results in Connecticut. Anln I.nnc Kink Hole.

Shipping shtntstlcs show 'that JLha recent Btorms along the western'ciJast of: Hrltlsh Columbia have surpassed In general destructlvcncss nny previous visitations. From Cape lleala north along the Vancouver Island seaboard has long been dreaded ground for navl gnlois, n portion of It being known by the significant name of "the graveyard of the Pacific." It will Interest those whose calling takes them into these waters to learn that an Invention Is now being Inves tigated by the marine authorities nnd navigators nt Soulhend-qn-Sea) which I' It may not go a' long way townrd making light houses obsolete nnd un necessary, Is expected to be of much value In the prevention of shipwreck from nny ono of 90 per cent of the usual cnusei. This is nn automatic system of signalling which will warn ships of their approach to dangerous rocks and coasts In nil weathers when even a flashing light might not be seen and tho booming of a foghorn be unheard. A metallic conductor Is fixed on nn clcvntlon nshnro or n light ship or reef or light house. Krom this, nctherlc waves nro tinnsmltted over a zone which has a radius of seven mites. All vessels within that area which nre fit ted with receivers nre warned of their proximity tfl'Hnngpr. the illstancu-jiml tho point of the compass being regis tercd. At the same time, n b?ll rings and the receiving Instrument records the name of the place that Is being np pro.ich.eil. Tho automatic part of th Invention consists of steel benrlngs with n number of teeth which pass over a Morse transmitter. No operators arc needed. The In struments or machine works absolutely automatically. In Its elementary prin ciples, the system resembles Marconi's method of wireless telegraphy, but In detail thcO'stem Is essentially differ ent. Tho committee of investigation at Soutliend-on-Sca has enthusiastical ly Indorsed the Invention after submit ting It to a variety of tests In both fair nnd foul weather, and n syndicate Is now being formed to cngnge In Its manufacture on n large scnle. the In ventor stipulating thnt the price shnll be maintained a moderate one. he him self preferring to be remembered ns n philanthropist rather than ns a mil lionaire Inventor.
