Now where Is the garbage crematory? A. Humphreys Is short one in itial. He should have had another S. . The Republican party does not care to divide responsibility with theWllcox-Kaulla-Emmeluth group for any char ter they, may frame, nor will It be a tail for any other party's kite. Repub licans have but one duty to perform and that, is to stand off a charter so Ions as It is wanted by others as an 'Instrument of plunder. It is better to go down In such a battle than to aid an organized banditti to make spoil of the taxpayers. K. M. Boyd, formerly of the First American Bank, has pone to Washing ton as the representative of the Adver tiser and the Los Angeles Herald. He was -formerly Washington correspond ent of the San Francisco Chronicle but has been succeeded 1n that capacity by Ira Bennett, brother of Frederick Ben Tiett, formerly of this paper. Mr. Boyd is an excellent newspaper man and his Washington letters will be read with Interest and satisfaction here. The news from .our special corre spondent that Congressman Kahn will press his bill to make Molokai a na tional leper settlement should stimu late .the Chamber of Commerce to send W.dele&tdon to Washington to combat the measure. Hawaii cannot afford to take the reputation which would come to It after the eni ctment of such a law, n'r JofeSift want, the leprosy, which Is now slowly disappearing, to be perpet uated here. All In all. the Kahn under taking is a most serious attack upon the prosperity of this group. The French Chauvinists are after England now and are letting Germany alone. Gen. Mercler, who was smirched In the Dreyfus case, is trying to restore himself to popular favor by urging the nation to turn its mind upon the inva nion of England, a task which he re- frards as lightly as Napoleon III. did the Invasion of Germany. It Is indi cative of Mercler's mental attitude that he counts on the mutiny of British sail ers to reduce the fighting spirit and ef ficiency of the British channel squad ron. If the Chauvinists believe that, they are capable of believing In any thing except the saving grace of humor. The question of why tourists do not flock to these Islands need not be asked if the steamship companies would make lower ratf s. The rich have their fashions In tra-el and of late have been going to the West In dies or to the Paris Exposition. Middle class people could alway be depended on to visit Hawaii if not scared oft by the cost of getting here, and the rich will come, as In the past, a't their own convenience. Put down the steamship rates and the voice of tie tourist and the chink of his coin will be heard In the land. Keen them tin "and visitors wfll not disappear, to be sure, but we shall always bewail their scarcity. ELECTION AND CHARTER. One of the local papers which are making themselves willing tools of the Kaulla-Emmeluth conspiracy to gov ern Honolulu for the sake of spoils, urges a plea which is strong only in the revelation It makes of the weakness of the municipal cause among the re sponsible citizens of Honolulu. It says: The people of Honolulu and of the entire Territory decided by their votes at the polls on November 6th that theyed. They were attacked by 2,500 Box ments established In Hawaii. This Is not true, especially so far as Honolulu Is concerned. At the late Vlection this city gave a Republican majority and the Republicans were not committed to municipal government at this time. Their municipal plank read: W" a t rk f tha aci t a Vkl 1 ah m 4v ft aii v ty and municipal governments as soon I as practicable. , I livery Republican who knows that two and two make four does not need to be told that this plank meant the organization of county and municipal rule wbe,n the taxpayers should get to be the voting majority and not before.

General Mercier caused a deep sensation in the Senate today during the debate on the naval bill by pointing out the ease with which England could be Invaded. - He demanded the Government intro duce into the plans for the mobilization of the army and navy methods for the rapid embarkation and debarkation of an expeditionary corps. The President, M. Fallleres, intervened, declaring that such proposals were out of order. In the course of an extraordinary speech General Mercier said: "In view of the possibility of war with Great Britain, the use of the army is not suf ficiently taken into account. The times are not the same as they were a hun dred years ago. Steam, the navy, the telegraph and railroad have rendered the- problem of invasion of England much easier of solution. Moreover, England itself is no longer the same. The Transvaal has shown that the British army,' although brave, is not equaf to the task which England ex pected It to perform. The British navy is powerful, but it has many coasts to defend. ' . "France, therefore, is numerically England's equal at certain points, and is even her superior 3ri the instruments of destruction. History furnishes many instances of mutiny In the English navy at the moment of battle. A land ing in England, therefore, is not be yond realization. "This is not only my opinion but that also of high naval officers. The British Premier recently expressed significant fars. and. If the principle of landing is admitted, the practical means of ex ecution may be decided..' "I venture to think that the work I prepared while commanding an army corps could serve as a basis- for such a project, which would not be expen sive." At this point protests were raised and M. Fallieres asked General Mercler not to enter Into the details of the scheme. General Mercier replied that the si heme could be "held over the head of English like the sword of Damocles." and he proposed a resolution that the Senate should invite the Government to complete immediately preparations for the mobilization of the army and navy by preparing everything necessary . to embark and disembark as rapidly as possible an expeditionary corps. Protests were raised from various benches and M. de Lenessan, Minister of Marine, followed the President's rul ing that the motion was out of order in the present debate by declaring, amid cheers, that the Government could not possibly accept It. v NEW YORK. Dec. 5. A dispatch to th Tribune from London says: The English press Is displaying s'rnc of Increased excitement over Gen. Mer cier's speech respecting a French inva sion and In thereby strengthening his hand and enabling him ,to regain the prestige lost during the Dreyfus trial. The Journals can well afford to laugh at It, Instead of taking : it seriously, since the British Governemnt has not shown uneasiness over the various mis sion of French officers in, English ports during the last year. Officers of the French army and navy are constantly talking about the possibility of effect ing a landing in England. It is their most interesting technical problem. They have precise Information about the defences of English towns like Ds ver, Portsmouth and Plymouth, also about the military resources of ports like Liverpool. French officers were se cretly occupied for weeks last spring in preparing detailed drawings of the fortifications of Dover and the defenses of Liverpool and other ports and these plans were filed with the proper depart ments in Paris. The British Govern ment was aware of these proceedings but considered It a matter of no im portance. - Alleged Russian saw-fllora inuring Norway and Sweden in large bands, are believed to be military spies.
