The campaign has been quiet, but the
concluding week should not pass with
out caieful study of the situation by
each taxpajer. The affairs of tho city
are in bad shape; taxation Is burden
some, public conveniences are few, the
police department It disorganized, th
streets, when cleaied of mow, wilt be
in horrible condition; and, unless nn

called to power one week hence, Sernti

judge from the optimistic expressions
of their principal newspaper, aro look

their fond expectations may all bo re

A Scrap of Scribbled Papor,
Today the senate at "Washington will
consider the McUnery resolution nfllrm
mp our purpose with icference to tha
Philippines. This resolution reads: "Re
holvtd, That by tho ratification of the
tieajy of pence with Spain It Is not In
tended to Incorporate the Inhabitants
of nald island Into citizenship of the
United Slates, nor 1 it Intended to
permanently annex said Islands as nn
integrnl part of tho territory of the
United States. 13ut It is tho Intention
of the United States to establish on
said Islands a government suitable to
tho wants and conditions of tho Inhab
itants of said Islands, to preparo them
for local self-Eovernment, and in due
lime to make such disposition of said
Islands as will best promote the Inter
ests of the citizens of the United States
and tho inhabitants of said islands."
Thu objections to a resolution of this
kind nie that it Is Ineffective, nlmost
meaningless and therefore useless; and
that Its adoption at this time might
emb'iirnss Instead of aid the executive
In hW task of putting down Insurrec
tion and compelling order In the Phil
ippines, a resolution of tho senate
passed in 1S9D would have no force
whatever In 1000 or nny subsequent
i ear if In the meantime conditions and
public opinion had undergone substan
tial ih.inges. Its presentation now is
only partly In good filth, while It un
doubtedly expresses the ptevalent
popular belief at this time. It 1 offeied
and supported by men aiming a politi
cal blow at a Republican piesldent, and
its enactment would be equivalent to
susing that n majority of the senate
does not hao confidence in tho patri
otism and cood judgment of the chief
executive a statement which, when
put In this form, Is ob ioualy not true.
Our future in the Philippines may
well be left to the future. There Is no
need of hnste in defining tho limits of
our intoiventlon or subsequent jurisdic
tion. The duty of the hour is to put
clown armed Insurrection; liberate trade
and the pursuits of peace from the ter
rorism of a native dictatorship imposed
upon tho people of the Philippines

To this end tho senate of thc United
States might much better be engaged ,
in passing tho army reorganization and i ,
the Pacific cable bill? than In wasting
precious time in a fruitless debate over
a qualifying lesolutlon which, passed
or unpassed, is nothing more than a
scrap of sciibblcd paper.
Hven In respect of the weather we aie
knee deep In history-making times.
For a Pacific Cable.
Inasmuch as two years at least will
be required lor the completion of a
Pacific cable line after Its authoriza
tion by congies, and in view of the
growing necessity lor meedy commu
nication between tho government at
Washington and tho American ofllclals
In Hawaii, at Gunm nnd In the Philip
pines, the special message of tho presi
dent urging tho piesent congress to
take tho inlti itivo in tills important
matter Is fully justified. In this mes
sage the executive says:
"Such communication should be es
tablished in such a way as to be wholly
under tho control of tho United States,
whether In tlmo of peace or wur. At
present the Philippines can be reached
only by cables which pass thiough
many foreign countiles, and the Ha
waiian Islands and Guam can onlv bo
communicated with by steamers, in
volving delays In each Instance of at
least a week. Tho present conditions
should not be allowed to continue for
a moment longer than Is absolutely
necessai y. The time has now arrived
when a cable in the Pacific must ex
tend us far as Manila, touching ut tho
Hawaiian Islands and Guam on the
way. Two methods of establishing this
table communication at once suggest
themselves first, construction and
maintenance of such a cable at the ex
pense of tho United States gov eminent,
and, second, constitution and main
tenance of such a cable by a ptlvate.
United States coi partition under such
safeguards ns congress shalt impose.
I do not mnke any recommendation to
congress ns to which of these methods
would bo the more desirable."
Uxpanslonlsts and antl-e.xpanslon-
ists should bj as ono on tho proposition
here set forth. For a considerable tlmo
ut least American soldleis will do po
lice duty In the pilnclril islands ot
the Philippine gioup nnd the question
of time In exchanging Information be
tween them nnd their supeilor olllcers
nt Manila fnd In "Washington is likely
to bo at any time a question of life or
death. Then, too, private lnteiests ic

people informed as to what Is going
on In this far off coiner of tho vvoild,
tho shlppeis whoso caigoes aro at
stake, ttaders of various kinds and
f i lends and i datives of Americans In
those distant places all are Interested
In having congress not promptly on
the president 's recommendation. Tho
people will expect a cable bill to pass
ere this congicss adjourns.
People of luxurious surroundings who
have the least cause to complain seem
disposed to howl tho loudest about tho
inconveniences of the cold wave.
There is a suspicion that tho latest
fake stmy concerning Androe, the

that Major Daly was on trial before

If "ambassador" Agonelllo actually

NEWS AND COMMENT
According to foreign dispatches Pro
fessor Wulter Ntmst of Uoottlngen uni
versity ha Invented un electrlo lump
which docs not requlie Intlusuro In vucum
as la tho case with tho present glow lamp.
'I ho Ncinat light is emitted by u rod com
pu&cd of rare cailhs, similar to thoso used
in tho manufacture of tho Wclsbach man
tle Theso rods do not conduct electricity
cold, but heated. They silo out a mllU,
yellowish light, nnd work equally well at
nny pressure, with consequent economy
in copper. Concerning this Invention tho
New York Sun snis: Pi of. Nernst'B Intup
Is Intended to take tho place of the ordln
ary Incandescent electric lamp, nnd, ac
cording to tho records which he has made.
In experimental woik, it promises great
economy In tho production of light. As
used In tho present Incandescent or glow
lamps ,lho clcctilo current is conducted to
n lllumeiit of carhun, which, because of
Its electrical resistance, or choking er
ftct upon the current, is raised to a whlto
heat, and thus emits light. To prevent tho
dcstiuctlon of tho carbon bV burning it
Is Inclosed In glass bulbs from which tho
air has been exhausted. Prof. Nernst
does away with tho glass bulb entirely,
lor In pluco of tho combusllblo carbon
lllitnont ho uses lllamtnts of magnesium
oxldo or other materials which aro In
combustible. Theso materials aro no
tablo for tho laige proportion of lslblo
light rajs which they radiate. Tho lime
light and tho Wclsbach gusllght man
ties n.ro examples of their value In this
legard. Theso materluls are, however,
under ordinal y circumstances non-conductors
of electricity, and Prof. Nernst s
discovery, which admits of their use, Is
that when they are heated they become
conductors. Using this discovery In ex
periments with a hollow magnesium tube,
ho obtained results which showed tho
expenditure ot only 90 wutLs of electrical
enorgy per candlo power, ngalnst about
threo watts per candlo power for tho or
dinary glow lamp. This economy in tha
uso of electrlo encrgv could bo utilized
cither bv putting three times as many
lamps on a wire circuit or by reducing
tho size, and consequnntly tho cost, ot
tho copper conductors for tho current. 'J ho
cost of these is now very great.

According to a Honolulu correspondent

world, perhaps Is the telephone a great
er facto- In llfo than in Hawaii, In
tho inlands them aro ubout Z.ouo
telephones to a population ot 110,
W, or one telephone to every fifty-two
Inhabitants. On tho Island of Oahu, on
which Honolulu Is situated, there aro
1 00 telephones to a population of about
45,000, or about one to each forty-ono of
thu population. Tho cot respondent adds:
"llio tele phono is much moio ot a public
Institution hero than It Is In most places.
Isolated us tho islands nie, tho arrival of
a steamship from a lorelgn land Is of per-
imnl interest to almost eveiy Individual.
'I bo government maintains a lookout sta
tion on Diamond Head, from which np
pioachlng vessels In nny direction can bo
sighted while still irom twenty to forty
miles distant, depending on tho stato of
the atmosphere. As soon as a steamer is
sighted 'centr.il' Is notified. 'Central' then
notifies tho pilot ofllce, tho port phjslclan,
I mo tioaru or nealtn, tnc custom House, tho
Iiiisiouicc, cuu ncsj.iier oiuces nnu a
few other peisons who havo a particular
interest In having early Information of
tills character. Then the electric light
company Is notified nnd It gives two long
whistles If the steamer Is from America
and throo If It Is from any other part of
tho world. Por two minutes after those
whistles ure blown no telephone conec
tluns aro made, but the force at 'central'
keeps repeating the name of tho steamer
and Its location, as 'Australia oft Koko
Head,' or 'China oh Wulancc," So that all
any Individual needs to do Is to go to thu
nearest ti lephonc, put the receiver to his
ea- and listen, and ho will know what
steamer it Is, where It Is, and If he has
lived hero any length of tlmo he can form

Tho first question that tho newly ap
pointed board of ndvlsors appointed bv
tho piesldent to help tho war department
ltnndlo colonlnt matters will tako up, ac
cording to President Kennedy, is tho or
ganization of a complcto system of taxa
tion and collection of taxes of Cuba nnl
Porto Rico. There Is no system now In
force; no equalization of taxes. The plan
will bo to furnish both islands with us
equitable and Hist a sjstem ns can bo ar
ranged for tho Islands, to fall equally
nmong tho people Tho proceeds nro to bo
distributed for purposes of education, Im
provements, noticing nnd matters of mu
nicipal affairs. Hcretoforo taxation has
been based on Incomes and everything
has been dono on crudo principles.. Tho
next general question In tho work will bo
looking to recommendations for a Bistcm
of granting of certain franchises. Tho
policy will bo to havo tho peoplo dealt
with fairly in giving franchises, priv
ileges and giants. Thoso who get theso
must piy a fair and Just equivalent to
tho Cubans, and whatever profits accrtis
must go to Cuba's benellt. Tho board will
recommend tho appointment of tax col
lection districts. Theso collectors shall
havo chnrgo under restrictions to bo pro
vided by tho War department. The.ro
is no Intention to Intel fcro with tho mu
nicipal authorities, but to old them In tho
proper collection end distribution of their
own tnxes and more especially to relievo
them of oppressive and unfair taxes.
