D —— Another young man of this city with bright pros- pects has learned the hard lesson which so many have been taught that a thief is always a good fellow.. This particular school of instruction does not seem to be much of a success. The scarcity of hares of which the coursing men complain appears to be having a dangerous effect. The hounds are looking for game among inoffensive citizens in the streets. Something more effective than a muzzle might prove a remedy. Although the President spelled it “Porto Rico” in his message, the Board of Geographical Names has decided it should be spelled Puerto Rico as the na- tives do, and so that spelling rules the roost.

Its principal boast was municipal ywnership of a splendid tramway system. Added in- terest was given to this recently by an anonuncement in the dispatches that the contract for its new equip- ment had been let to a New York firm—an indication that at least we have some good things on this side | gow of the water they haven't in G DEMANDS OF THE POSTOFFICE. D ESPITE the fact that the Postmaster General said but little in his annual message of the es- tablishment of a cheap parcels post in this | country and nothing of a postal savings banks system, both of these subjects are being widely discussed and both improvements will probably be urged upon Con- gress during this session. The renewed agitation for a postal savings bank has been largely stimulated by the recent exposure of the swindling banking concerns in New York. course the intelligent public is well aware that our savings bank system is quite safe and is not in the least likely to give rise to any such institution as that which fleeced so many thousands by promising them exorbitant rates of interest. None the less, the dis- astrous experience with the fraudulent concern has set the publi in the East to considering once more the many advantages sure to result from postal sav- ings banks. The issue is not one of parties nor is the movement confined to any particular class of citizens. In fact, | the argument upon the question is almost one-sided and the opposition to it is hardly anything more than that conservatism which opposes all progress. The Baltimore American, for example, says: “What has been done in this way to help the people by foreign nations is all in favor of these banks. At the end of the year 1805 Great Britain had three and one-half million dollars in undivided dividends on hand after paying two and one-half per cent interest and all losses, and the Government made a profit of cighty- three thousand dollars by conducting the business. The deposits in these banks in that country amounted to five hundred and fifty million dollars. In the same year France paid three per cent interest on one hun- dred and forty-three million dollars, and the Govern- ment made a profit of one hundred and seventy thou- sand dollars. The cost of conducting the banks in these countries has been very small. If the Govern- ment is disposed to undertake the competition the plan is worth a trial.” An equal strength is shown in the movement 1o procure the establishment of a better domestic parcels post system. The executive committee of the Na- tional Association of Manufacturers has been stren- uously working up a movement for such a system, dered, what answer can | management see in this the | Of | and the success which has already attended the ar- | rangement for a parcels post with Germany affords a | strong argument in favor of it. One of the defects of the present postal law is the opening given for abuses of the privilege of sending | certain articles as second class mail. It is said if that defect can be remedied it will be possible to provide a | cheap parcels post without loss to the Government. | As the Postmaster General has strongly recommended | the passage of the Loud bill, designed to restrict second class mail privileges to those who are rightly entitled to them, it is probable something may be | accomplished to establish a parcels post. | The people would be glad to have both the parcels | post and the savings banks, for there is no reason | | why our postoffice should not meet as many popular | demands as those of Europe, but we must not expect too much at once. The establishment of either will | be a long step toward the attainment of the other and | a great improvement on existing conditions. s e | INCREASING NAVIES HE necessity for having sea power hasbeen much T discussed in this country, where the example of ngland is highly regarded. The exertions of Germany to advance the class of her navy are now of interest in England. The Kaiser has recently indicated a new use for a | universally distributed navy. In a statement about | Samoan affairs the war lord said that Samoa must | "be German because years ago a German warship was | wrecked at Apia. This idea that title to a land is ac- | | quired by wrecking a ship on its coast is hardly more ‘_whimsical than that other appeal to pseudo patriotism | | about hauling up or hauling down the flag as evidence i of right and title. | The Westminster Gazette, discussing from an Eng- | lish standpoint the increase in the German and Rus- isian navies, raises exactly the same question that | troubled the mind of the Czar as to land armaments. | The Gazette say “Two years ago it was considered sufficient that we should be superior on the seas to France and Russia. access of competition. Russia is largely increasing | her fleet; Germany and the United States have, each | of them, plans for an entirely new fleet. Can we count | directions. | either of the newcomers as allies in the sense that we can disregard their efforts? Mr. Chamberlain’s Leices- | ter speech scarcely encourages the idea. We may be friends with them for a particular purpose and at a given price, but permanent friendship, which would | enable us to write off their forces from the number of | our possible enemies, is clearly not within our reach. | Since the present Government came into power we | { have had dangerous quarrels with each of them, and | no one dare say, however much we may wish it, that | we may not again have acute differences with one or the other of them. What then? Must we go on | building till we are ruined, in the vain hope of meet- ing all possible combinations against us, or must we allow the balance of sea power to be altered to our ; disadvantage? We answer for ourselves that the sec- | | ond alternative is inevitable, and that we ought not to | { let it alarm us unduly.” | This brings into plain view the final result of de- | | voting all the resources of civilization to the building ' | up of military power on land and sea. There comes } i a time when the burden breaks the back that carries it and falls, taking with it every | was supposed to secure. | Itis not a new matter. The same issue was as acute a century and a half ago. Its existence was one rea- son for the founding of the republic of the United States, understood by its builders to be a ere nations existed only in the | physical force they could control. If Jefferson were justified, nearly a hundred years ago, in saying that | this country should pursue the happiness of its peo- | ple on a line opposed to the hell of war and ambition | that ruled Europe, how much more are we justified | in keeping to our old lines, now that that hell is im- posing burdens that stagger the nations which bear them. If the opinions of the Westminster been more generally accepted a year protest - Gazette had ago in this | country and Europe the Peace Conference might have | :hccn a success instead of a failure. It might have been | | a new base line from which to measure the policy of | | the nations instead of a conventicle so nerveless that | | it could not even agree to debrutalize war by outlaw- | ‘ing missiles which torture and putting the ban upon | | the murder of helpless prisoners and wounded com- ih:mms, | If it had been then more clearly understood that | the policy of added armaments to dominate the world | by land and sea means in the final analysis that the | strongest must go on building until ruined, this | | country and England could easily have disarmed the world and plucked the honor of procuring its per- | manent peace. Many hard raps have been administered to the good little boy in the Sunday-school books who didn’t go fishing on Sunday. The latest blow is the | worst. It comes in the shape of a story to the effect that Oom Paul was such a bad little boy in Pennsyl- vania that he ran away to become President of the Boer Republic. It seems as if the limit of humiliation has come at last to the horse. He has been used as a beast of profitless burden, cut up info sausage meat and other- wise abused in the flesh, and now doctors are mak- ing a drunkard of him in order that with his virus they may destroy drunkenness in that unreliable ani- mal, man. Governor Gage has clothed with considerable mystery the meaning of his references to expenditures on the mother lode of the State. Men who are fa- miliar with the methods of the Governor's political associates are convinced that in this instance the “mother lode” is the State treasury. Seen v The telephone monopoly which is preying upon this city has met with a merited repudiation of its arro- | gance in Sacramento. It requires more than one lesson sometimes to teach some people decency. The local experience should have been an instructor to the “Hello” frauds. The authorities at Washington have a chance to be magnanimous to California. They wouldn't give us rexresentation on the Interstate Commerce Commis- | sion, but there is a vacant district judgeship in Alaska that they might let us have. It has been officially announced in diplomatic cir- cles that Germany doesn’t want the Danish West In- dies. The lesson which Spain received is evidently having an effect, and perhaps “sour apples” may have something to do with the case. e e Some people never seem to have enough. Many people were of opinion that with all the millions of | of Stanford | | although repeated until it DECEMBER 30, 1899. NO NEW CASES OF THE PLAGUE Scourge Stamped Out at Honolulu. Spectal Correspondence of The Call. HONOLULU, H. L, Dec. 23.—There have been no new cases of plague since last advices. There have been several sudden deaths, and In each instance rumor as signed the plague as the cause. Investi- gation proved otherwise. On the 19th the quarantine over Chinatown was lifted and business Is now going on as usual in that district. There have been no deaths by plague since the 12th inst. Up to that time five vietims were reported. The Board of Health now claims that but two deaths were caused by the scourge, the remain- ing three cases being doubtful or sus- piclous. Chinatown is belng thoroughly cleaned. A commission of three has beeen appoint- ed to examine the district and report some scheme to remodel the territory. The idea | is to build additional streets and make other improvements. The line of work will depend almost wholly upon the find- ings and direction of this commission. he Government's idea is to make the extension of Smith, Maunakea and Keka- ulike streets an important part of the pro- | gramme, but the commission may think the money can be better spent for sani- tary purposes elsewhere and in other buildings on acount of their unsanitary condition. These will have to be paid for. Driveways through each block wil be urged. This will necessitate the destruc- tion/of a few buildings and the removal of others. Some scheme of getting air and sunlight through the tenements will be insisted upon. It is in such work as this that most of the money probably will | be used. The Council of State will be asked to appropriate $100,000 at once with which to carry out the present plan of altering and improving (‘h’numwn in conformity with ith.

DE PACHMANN'S E PACHMANN'S third recital was in some respects the best he has given. It had its deficiencles a well, of which more farther on. What was most important was the fact that at one point In the programme yes- terday afternoon the planist aroused more real enthusiasm than at any previous time. There has not been much sincerity in the approval hitherto accorded him, the applause generally being rather weak and not of that spontaneous. uncontroll- able kind that some of the truly great are capable of arousing. It is small wonder that De Pachmann has not been more generous of encores, for it must have been quite evident to him that the disturbances in the auditorium were but perfunctory plaudits, contributed largely by the claque. Yesterday, however, he won ap- plause that was as flattering as it was real, and, 1 may add, it was richly de- served. There was a liberal offering of Chopin in the programme, and De Pachmann's ex- cellence in the works of that composer, has become wearisome, is not the less a fact. Yet right here 1 wish to make a reservation, De Pachmann excels as an interpreter of Chopin, but he does not play everything by Chopin well. After hearing him re- realedly 1 am forced to conclude that he acks the necessary spirituality to bring out_certain qualities that are primarily responsible for the charm, the spell, the a fe“ of Chopin’s music. ‘i is reading of the first nocturne yester- day was demonstrative of this fact. It wis technically admirable, a model of rhr-nln( and color, but there was not in t the heart quality, the poetic depth, the dream. In the Fantasie (Chopin), op. 49, he played deliciously and with the utmost finesse. There were rare touches of deli- cacy in the above mentioned Nocturne, and again in the lmfiomptu op. 29, but it was in the Mazur op. 7, and Valse No. 1 that the qualities of brilllance and ce were paramount. These two num- ers were the gems of the afternoon and would argue De Pachmann, if not an ideal layer of Chopin, at least an interpreter gt that composer's dance music wh?u; the late Thomas Blythe his heiress would have been satisfied.
