The clearest defined are thoso of the dally newspapers. The Republican with its large and constantly increasing circulation is read by all classes, but it has great Influence with the trty and numerous middle class tko people who buy the bulk of the soods and whose patronage is indispensable to the general advertiser. Tito Republican gives the beat advertising value in Honolulu for th price charged. Live news on every page and only eight page- Protect the young and the schools.

It is said that the home language of Queen Victoria Is German. However that may be, there is no question that lior rule is English. Collis P. Huntington spent 250J)00 on his last resting place. Quite a reasonable sum, considering the length of time he will have to stay there. The old way of making police raids without due warrant of law has to go in Honolicu along with other high-handed prooeedincs under the old oligarchy. Thore Is somewhat of a similarity in tho present trek of the Empress Dowager of China and her retinue and that nf the Boers.

In Greater New York, is ?S0,923,G99.7 How some people would like to be on the board of health with the plague in full play in a city with n sack like that Whew! What are the people of Hawaii to get out of that valuable water franchise which Governor Dole proposes to give to the Waialua Sugar Company? Isn't it about time that the people's interests were being considered by the Territorial administration as well as those of private corporations? Governor Dole Is reported to have the svbject of the closing of tho dens of vice at Iwllei "under consideration." How long ought it to take a sworn executive oflicer to "consider" whether or net fie will direct the honest enforcement of tho law What nonsense to hava to "consider" the dolng'of one's " sworn duty as a public official. The high tribute paid to Judge Gilbert F Llttie by an old resident of Hawaii In an interview published In The Republican yesterday morning would Indicate that tho judge would be a very strong candidate for Congresa before the people of HawalL Certainly he would be an able represeatatlve at Washington of the new Territory- The epublican was disposed to give the hlsi sheriff credit for being honsst in his sudden real to enforce the Sunday law, but the result of the trial against tho Orpoeum cafe Indicates that H this show of virtue oa'lhe part of the police Is merely for the purpose of throwing sand In the people's eyes bo that the police can go on utterly-ignoring their plain duty to enforce "all laws. Of course, the court has something to do with the miscarriage of justice in this case, out the police are primarily to blame. The proper party to arrest for selling liquor at the Orpbeum cafe was the man or men in whose name the llcesse j& granted. Then If It wu snown that Uquor was sold there Illegally there was no way for the court to do but to find the license holder guilty. The courts -have repeatedly add, aa every novice In the law kstbWit tok true, that the IwWeeuwr ttpor Uceaee the one punishable for any violation of the liquor law or the terms of that license. Even though the licensee's agents or employes sell liquor "against j his orders'" the courts have held that' he is nevertheless guilty. "Witnesses in the police court Wednesday testified that they bought liquor at The Orphensn cafe without registering and that they were not lodgers or guests. Manager Chapman admitted that the Chlnase servants served people with liquors not entitled $o be served, and yet the police could not make a case against the Orphean nor could the judge see where the law had bea violated. Was there ever such a farce made of justice as this, even by Tammany In Its most corrupt days? Do the officials of Hawaii have a realizing sense of what this brazen defiance of the law and equity Is going to lead to sooner or later? HAWAII AND CABLES. The able and exhaustive address on the necessity of ocean cables on the Pacific, delivered recently before the Naval War College at Newport, R. L, by Captain Squier, has and Is still attracting wide attention. It has shaken up the Eastern press to some extent and will force the subject on the attention of Congress in a manner in which it has never heretofore been presented. The very full synopsis which The Republican published a few days ago gave in a general way the ideas of CapL Squier. One of his main points, that these sea cables should be wholly under the control of the United States, should not be lost sight of. Cables are these days as much a war necessfty as a commercial one, and in addition, these American cables should be operated in connection with the alrealy extensive land telegraphic systems cf the country's new possessions. While Captain Squier's learned paper was Intended mainly for soldiers and sailors, viewed from a military and naval standpoint, it Is nevertheless interesting and instructive to the layman, notably the merchant and financier, and especially so in Honolulu. To be of the greatest possible strategic value, CapL Squier Indicates the need of a central cable station In the Hawaiian Islands. Speaking on this subject he said: "Geographically situated at the military and commercial strategic position of the North Pacific ocean, it will ultimately serve as the distributing center for ocean communication between the two hemispheres as well as the various island groups of the Pacific." The Republican believes that In the not far distant future these words of Capt. Squier will be regarded as prophetic They presage the unquestioned destiny of these Islands. They will become tho great distributing centers not only of communication, as CapL Squier predicts, but of barter and commerce as well. Honolulu ought to become the Singapore of these Islands, which means one of the great commercial cities of the United States. In this direction lies worjc for the man who may be sent as delegate to Congress for Hawaii. It Is such possibilities that ought to gauge the man who is to be selected for this position a man who can foresee our destiny and, forseeing it, work intelligently and successfully toward Its Such a man will find Inspiration in CapL Squier's article. The latter held that cables were almost as important as ships in certain crises and his plea for cable equipments for fleets was a very strong ono. Ho said, In his peroration: "The United States will be wise if. in the Pacific, where she has such paramount natural advantages for commerce and maritime strength, she pursues a strong, vigorous and even lavish cable policy. She should be able hs earliest date upon American soil deep sea cables of the first class, be able to lay, maintain and repair them In time of peace or war by ships flying the American flag, and to be prepared to adequately protect them upon the high seas and at the landing places by military and naval force. The cable is one of the most important problems of the present hour, unlqve in that American commerce, diplomacy and sea power in facL tie most efficient means of advancing and securing the benefits of civilization Itself happily conspire In demanding its early solution." These are strong points In favor of Hawaii and of our central and strategic position. MANUAL TBATNTXG. Throughout the world, In countries where public education is maintained, there is a tremendous Impetus In manual training. Everywhere there is manifested an appreciation of the need of Industrial education, tie sort of of tie boy and the girl mentally and physically as will beat fit him and her for the stern duties of life. Great progress has been made in this direction in the States and- It lsa pleasure to note that Hawaii has Liken the initiative in establishing Industrial education ia the schools of Honolulu. No more promising field for such instruction could be found any where and nowhere is It more seeded and likely to result In more gratifying success. It is To be hoped that tie start which the board has madeyill be closely followed -and most liberally encouraged. Germany is spending large sums of money in advancing itlhroaghout the empire.

The twentieth century will be one of sharp competition. It will be utilitarian to an extreme and tie youth must be substantially prepared to meet the newer and more strenuous conditions. The water which Governor Dole proposes to give to the Waialua Sugar Company from the north branch of the Kaukonahua stream Is the property of the people of this Territory. As the Waialua company is reported to have already entered into a contract by which it will capitalize these water privileges for upwards of $1,000,000. wouldn't it be a good idea to bave some of the profits from this capitalization go to the people of the Territory of Hawaii, to whom the water belong? Why give this valuable franchise away in fee simple? What is tiere In It for giving away this property belonging to the people? The advocates and defenders of advance not a single argument that is not slanderous and libelous of the city and their so-called reasons are ?s untrue as they ore libelous. One of their chief "arguments" and the one generally put forward Is a vicious reflection on, and insult to, every good and pure woman and girl in tie community. Yet it is dally ieard on tie streets and coming from tie lips of "leading citizens," at tiat For shame! Is it necessary for the Territorial governor of Hawaii to grant pardons to men convicted of political offenses against the Republic- ef Hawaii to restore them to civil rights under the Territory? In our opinion it is not. Tie Republic of Hawaii went out of existence on August 12, 1S9S, and was continued as a de facto government until June 14, 1900. After that date the Territory of Hawaii becamo existent and with the death of the certainly died political offenses against it as well as punishment for such offenses. English The Official Language. (Editorial In Boston Globe Aug. 11.) English is hencefstth -the official court language In Hawaii Judge Humphreys of Honohtlu recently ruled out as inadequate a court notice printed in a Portuguese paper and promulgated a rule tiat thereafter all proceedings of any and every kind whatsoever, and all advertisements, notices, etc., should be in tie English language. Quon Quong Got a Wife. The only Cilnese woman in Kansas City is a siy and happy bride. She was particularly shy yesterday afternoon as she told a reporter about her unusual meeting with Quon Quong and about their short wooing and Mrs. Quon Quong and her husband are living in tie iome of J. E. Mitcielson at 422 West Eleventi streeL wiere Quong presides over tie cuisine. "I see iim. We llkee eaci otier. We mally." That was all. Mrs. Quong,v plump, 20, and coquettish, told her romance in just three short sentences. But she did not know that two Chinese hearts were made happy through tie plotting and planning of Mrs. Mitcielson and that tie little Chinese girl is Mrs. Quong now because Mrs. Mitchel-son cianced to go to San Francisco recently and visited Miss Dinah Cameron at the Presbyterian Chinese Mission school. Mr. and Mrs. Mitchelson are still in California. They were there several wreaks ago add faithful Chinese servant in charae of their home. Mrs. Mitchelson attended the reception of the Chinese mission and she saw the girls are studying tiere the English language and the common school branches. Petite Lee Yuen Leen was the prettiest of all the girls. She was happy, bright and rosy and Mrs. Mitchelson thought of a bride for faitiful Quon Quong. Sie sent for him at once, enclosing a railroad ticket from Kansas City, and he and the little Lee Le:n met In the parlor of the Presbyterian mission. Their wooing lasted for two short weeks. A Presbyterian Tninister was called to the mission one day and Quon and Lee stood hand in, hand in the school's assembly room. She was arrayed In all the gorgeous elegance that Oriental love of color could desire. She worse a blouse and divided skirts and in her hand sie carired a huge bouquet of pink carnations, with long pink ribbons pendant Her glossy, black bair carried a headdress of roses. The groom's costume was of American make, a dark suit and tan shoe It was 4 o'clock; May 12. when the minister pronounced them man and wife, and an hour later Mr. and Mrs. Quong were on tie train for Kansas City. Mrs. Mitcielson iad provided them with a ticket for their trip. Their coming to Kansas City was made the occasion of a great e2ebratIon among the Chinamen here. Mr. and Mrs. Quon Quong went to live at the Mitchelson home. They had made preparation foraa evening stroll when a reporter saw them yes terday. Mrs. Quong was brilliant In al. gaudy ribbons and Sowers. She Is very short aad her almond-shaped eyes looked small and narrow in the wI4e flat lace. But she wore the air of one accustomed to admiration, and it her face was aot pretty, her manner was. Kansas City Star. " 4 Cubs aad strokes Quickly Healed.
