Impeachment of Judge Swayne.Washington, D. C, Jan. 24. The Senate today organized the court

to try Judge Swayne on the impeachment charges.Judge Charles Swayne, of the Northern District of Florida, is to be

impeached before the bar of the Senate by the House of Representativesfor "high crimes and misdemeanors." The investigation against JudgeSwayne laid bare a large number of extremely damaging allegations,with reference to his judicial conduct of the business of his court. Itwas shown that he had not resided within the State as required; that inhis decisions and action in several railroad receiverships his course wasopen to grave question; that while a railroad was in the hands of a re-

ceiver, he had been given by the receiver, his own appointee, free trans-portation in a private car for himself aud his friends, including a trip tothe Pacific, and lastly, that in his accounts to the Government for hisexpenses, while he took oath that they were $10 a day, evidence beforethe committee showed that they were from one-thir- d to one-hal- f of this.His misdemeanor and corruption rests upon his expense account.

Judge Charles Swayne was born August 10, 1842, at Guyencourt,Deleware, and was appointed Judge in 1880. He is a graduate of thelaw department of the University of Pennsylvania, and for some yearspracticed law iu Pennsylvania. He went to Florida in 1885, in 1888was defeated for election to the supreme court bench of that state. Itis seventy-fou- r years since the House has impeached a member of theFederal Judiciary. Then Judge Peck, of Missouri, was presented formisconduct in disbarring a lawyer. The Senate refused to convict him,21 to 22. Judge Chase and Judge Addison, of Pennsylvania, aud JudgePickering, of New Hampshire, are three other judges who were earlierimpeached in the history of the Federal Government, but of these onlythe last was convicted.

Favorable Report Made.Honolulu, Jan. 25. The following cablegrams have been exchanged:

Washington, D. C, Jan. 24, 1905.Governor Carter,

Honolulu.'Committee will report general harbor bill carrying $400,000 for Hono-

lulu and for survey Hilo harbor. KUHIO.Honolulu, Jan. 24, 1905.

Kuhio,Washington.

Congratulations. All interested should now redouble efforts towardfinal passage. CARTER.

The above wireless message from Honolulu, gives Delegate Kuhio'scablegram to the Governor and the Governor's reply thereto. Theclosing paragraph of the Governor's message is a diplomatic answer iuview of Kuhio's attitude towards the alleged officiousness of SecretaryAtkinson. In his annual report, Governor Carter asked for an appro-priation of $250,000 for the improvement of Honolulu harbor, for a re-

fund of $172,000 expended by the Territory since annexation in thecare of the harbor and lighthouse service, and for an appropriation of$10,000 for preliminary survey for the proposed Hilo breakwater. Del-egate Kalanianaofe has written a friend in Hilo, that it is useless to ex-pect an appropriation for a federal building at this session of Congress,and indicates that he is bending every effort to secure the $to,ooo for asurvey. There is a marked tendency toward economy by Congress andthe building bill will be materially curtailed.

In Honor of Burns.The Hilo Burns Club are renowned for the excellence of their enter-

tainments, and Saturday night's affair added another success to theirreputation. The early part of the evening was devoted to a literary andmusical piogram, which was pleasing and entertaining. As a preludeR. Forbes in costume played a bagpipe refrain, which was roundly ap-

plauded. George Lilicoe rendered "Afton Water," a vocal solo audThos. Scott of Hakalau gave a selection on the violin, both of whichwere well received. In response to an encore, Mr. Scott played "OMary Wilt Thou Gang wi me?" Mrs. Louise Hapai rendered a con-tralto solo "John Anderson, My Joe" which called forth a response"Annie Laurie," which she gave in a delightful manner. Rev. CurtiSfE. Shields gave a brief address on the life aud character of Robert Burns,the patron saint of Scotlaud which was both scholarly and instructive.Mr. H. Turner with his deep baritone rendered "Ye Banks and Braes,"and "Robin a Dale." Miss Margaret Tutt was in splendid voice andpleased her audience with a rendition of the Scotch song "Last May aBraw Wooer" and was induced to respond to an encore with "For theSake o' Somebody.

W. C. Cook recited Burns' "Epistle to Davie" and later respondedwith the poem "When Burns was Born." There was an exhibition ofScottish dancing, F. M. Anderson giving the Highland fling andKenneth Cameron the "Sword Dance" in a clever aud graceful manner.Miss Tutt and Mr. Cook made a pretty tableaux in their reudering ofthe vocal duet "Hunting Tower" but refused to respond to a prolongedand enthusiastic encore. The closing number, a vocal trio in whichMessrs. Lillicoe, Turner and Scott took part, singing iu arealistic man-ner, "0, Willie Brew'd a Peck 0' Maut," proved the climax ol theentertainment. With a will, they responded to the continued applausewhich followed their first efforts, with singing "The Lass o' Killi-crankie- ,"

which was truly a Scotch drinking song. After a short speechof thanks on behalf of the Club by Mr. Cook, the concert was broughtto an end with "Auld Lang Syne."

The remainder of the evening was spent in dancing, Scotch reels andschottishes being an important feature. Refreshments were served aboutmidnight and a delightful evening was enjoyed. I. B. Schoen, assistedby Jas. Henderson, was master of ceremonies.

Jared Smith seesthe downfall of the plantation interests and the substitution of thesmall farmer, as occurred in theSouth immediately after the CivilWar. The conditions of the Southwere far different than prevails to-

day in the Hawaiian Islands. Cot-

ton growing before the war was notcarried on in as scientific and inten-

sive 11 manner as the methods pur-

sued by the large sugar planters.The specialized small farmer maybe reasonably successful, but with-

out a radical amendment to theland laws special inducementsoffered to settlers, Hawaii cannotexpect to become an agriculturalcommunity populated with Ameri-

can farmers.

Ip as suggested by United StatesCommissioner of ImmigrationSargent, Italian immigrants areavailable for plantation laborers inlarge numbers, this may solve thelabor problem in Hawaii. Thequestion arises whether the dagoesare any more desirable than therecent importation of Porto Ricans.In Southern California, the Italiansare of a domestic and agriculturalturn of mind, and have built up anItalian-Swis- s colony whose reputa-

tion for fine wines and grapes is

becoming world renowned.

Tin? Board of Trade are adoptingthe proper course in the matter offederal legislation, and instead ofseeking too much- - without success,are bending every effort to securethe passage of the ten thousanddollar appropriation for a surveyand estimate of cost of the Hilo

.breakwater. This is a, step in theright direction and with a favor-

able report of the project, means afar stride toward securing themillion dollar appropriation for themuch needed public improvement.

Instrad of attempting to dis-

credit the Territory's representativein Congress, the citizens of Hawaiiwho have the best interests of thecountry at hesrt, would appear in abetter light at home giving such co-

operation as lies within their ownsphere of influence, through theproper channels. The Delegate'sprotest is timely and to the point,and should appeal to every businessman interested ifi the success of theTerritory.

Thu Tribune throws" up thesponge oi) the proposition of smallfarming on Hawaii, but the Newscertainly has no intention at present of abandoning the fight onMaui. True, ideal New England,down-sout- h or western farm homesmay not be established on Maui,

for all that, there arc manyminor industries yet to be estab-

Yours truly,(Sailed) 1'. BRUGI1ELLI.

January 33, 1905,P. ItrilKliclll, IJsri.,

City Stables,Hilo, Hawaii,

Sir: Your letter of January 19th is nthand.

1 do not know what nationality you are,mid I cannot understand your letter.You must cither be a fool or a knavethe former if you think I am going torecommend payment of $175,00 for anyanimal in the condition in which yourdriver left that mule when SecretaryAtkinson and I found it.

The only other possible excuse for yourrequest is that you must be a knave toexpect the Government, or anyone else,to pay you.

If you knew of thnt accident by tele-

phone ns soon ns your urrived inKnu, and failed to notify hint to at oncedisp itch n until to examine the nninmland see if it was necessary to kill it, youdeserve to be prosecuted for cruelty toanimals.

Your driver claimed he did not knowyour name, and 1 could not find out towhom that mule belonged. He gave usto understand that he would be held per-

sonally responsible by "his boss" if hekilled the mule, and claimed that he waswaiting for instructions as to what to do.On his return to Hilo he expected to leadthe animal back, in order to prove to hisheartless, cruel employer the conditionof the animal, and I presume you willdeny any such instructions and claimthnt the Ignorant Japanese driver hadtold you that the accident was onlyslight, and between the two of you escapethe consequences of the law.

In all my experience in these Islands,I never seen a case of greater crueltyto animals, the moral responsibility forwhich you cannot escape, in that youemploy a driver whom you evidentlycould not trust and who would commitsuch an outrage. How lout; the poorbrute had been there, exposed by day tothe hot tropical sun and by night to thecold fogs from off the mountains, whichare sure to creep down in that locality,with its hind leg broken and the boneprotruding, I do not know. But whenwe found it, the broken leg was swollento three or four times the natural size,the wound taken possession of by theflics, the leg twisted clear under its body,and in its agony the animal had unfortunately put its fore leg over the halterrope, so that in order to stand on threelegs its head had to be down near theground, or if it raised its head it had tostand on two legs. Its death was only nquestion of hours, and to remove it wouldhave been impossible.

To my mind, it is most unfortunate thelaw provides no way, under the circum-stances, to penalize both you and yourdriver. If such an incident had occurredin the town of Hilo, I am sure the hu-

manity and public spirit of your fcllow- -

towusuieii would have raised a storm ofindignation, and public opinion wouldhave held you responsible.

Respectfully yours,(Signed) G. It. CARTER, '

Now, my Dear Governor, I do not be-

lieve this little note wil please 5 on anymute than my Inst, but I remember sonnytime during the ycr to hnvc rend in thenewspaper that the Governor would dis-

charge the Government cuplolcs that didnot pay thnir bills. I can suply 11 lot inHilo nud Honolulu that disobeys yourorder nud I would be very sory to includeyour own. The Advertiser the 22 con-

tains 11 sad tale ol it mule. I did notswing thnt talc in the press, but I haveno objection if it is agreeable to yon thntmy first note, this one and your mis. tunygo in it, errors and nil.

In conclusion I say that mule was tiedand not abandoned all the locality ncom-ndatlo- n

can suply. If the accident ml

been in Hilo or Honolulu, ns you say,my Fellow Townsmen would not foundme dilatory in attending to my duty andPublic opinion would have noting tocomplain. Wy y one of my beascin going to pasture got itr the governmentswamp, it required n dozen men and alentil to get him out and no one madeany complaint. We are having accidentsat all times, not myielf alone but othersalso, and I certainly believe thnt it is outof wince for the Governor to tnke part inour misfortune unless he is willing to payfor is mistakes. The Hill is still $175.

A disputed from Portland, Ore,sny.s: S. A. I). I'liU-r- , recently con-

victed in this city with Horace G.McKinley, D.inicl T. Tnrpley andMrs. Kiiuim Watson of conspiracyto the United States gov-

ernment of lands, made a statementtoday in contradiction of statementsissued by United States SenatorMitchell, indicted on Saturday lastby n federal grand jury on evidencesimilar to that presented at thecriminal trial of the persons re-

cently convicted."When I said that I gave Sena-

tor Mitchell $2,000 to use his in-

fluence with Dinger Hermann toexpedite those claims in 11-7,- ".

said Putcr, "I told the truth, andSenator Mitchell knows it.

"I gave Senator Mitchell $2,000to get those patents through, and Iwill say that I never regretted tell-

ing anything so much in my life asthe fact that Senator Mitchell tookthe money, I never toldv a livingsoul in my life till I gave the detailsto Mr. Heney. I never told it toMcKinley or Tarpley, my partnersin these deals. I kept an entrybook in which I made entries ofevery cent spent in connection withgetting these lands to patent. Allthe costs of filing were entered, aswell as railroad fares, etc. Theonly entry I made of this moneygiven to Mitchell was '$2,000. L.'McKinley may have had an idea ofhis own where that money went,but I never told him.

"Mitchell had no intimationfrom me as to the fraudulent char-acter of the entries to this land. Inever so much as intimated it tohim. But when Hermann gaveme to understand that the land wasdown and out, and that the matterwould have to be referred back toOregon City laud office, I went toSenator Mitchell, and told him thatthese patents would have to trothrough for the reason that if theywere referred back to the Oregonoffice the whole thing would belost. I told him that the entry-me- n

were scattered, and that itwould be impossible to ' get themtogether.

"I laid two $1,000 bills on thetable. Mitchell said that it was toomuch I was desperate over a de-

sire to get the patents through, andtold him to take it and do what hecould to influence the commissioner(Representative Hermann) to takethe claims up and get the patentsissued. I knew that as a UnitedSlates senator Mitchell would havea lot of influence with the landoffice, and I was willing to paytha't amount to have the patentsissued.

"I knew the special agents hadmade a report from the lands, butfrom the nature of the report I hadno means of knowing, and I was ata loss to know why CommissionerHermann threw the claims out. Ido not know to this day why hedid it, but when he told me the lasttime I was before him that thelands would have to go back to theOregon City laud office, I went tosee Mitchell at once. All I knowof Mr. Hermann is that after themoney was paid to Mitchell, and Ihad given him inducement to makea good hard talk, that Hermannchanged his mind. Why he did itI did not know, and would not pre-sume to say."

A Target Tor Warships.The Government wireless station

on Oahu must be located in someplace where it will not be a help-less target for the guns of possiblehostile warships. The Navy

has rejected the proposedsite for the government wirelesstelegraplw station on this island.The site which it had been plannedto secure, was located in the vicinityof Kahuku Point and was admir-ably situated from the standpointof the operation of a wireless sys-tem. It could communicate withvessels approaching from almostany quarter. The department de-cided, however, that ths site wastoo exposed.

In case of war any foreign war-ships could go close enough inshorewithout fear of injury and wreckthe station with shells. The resultof this decision will be that a newsite will have to be selected. Itseems likely that the site of thegovernment station will be locatedsome where near the fortificationswhere protection can be given it incase of attacks from the sea. Star.

Tux on Cati.There arc 30,000,000 cats in the

United States, and they are ownedby 30,000,000 women and girls.The reason the remaining 10,000,-00- 0

women and girjs in the countrydon't own cats is because there arcnot cats enough to go round. Itis possible, however, that thetoumry can worry niong Willi (liepresent supply.

Massachusetts, which takes thelead in mosh matters of novel legis-

lation, is trying to secure the pas-sage of a law putting n tax on cats.Dogs arc taxable property, whynot cats? The Massachusetts wo-

menmarried and spinster; havetaken up the cats in arms againstthe tax proposition. The womenmay win out. They have n habitof doing so in most things.

It is much more than barely pos-sible, however, that the women inthis cat-ta- x matter see as darkly aspuss sees in the daytime. Thewoman's cry always has been thatthe sister who pays taxes should beallowed to vote, even though theother sister were shut out of thepolling booth. No woman wouldsacrifice her cat to save a two-doll-

tax. Consequently we shouldhave, if the other states do whatMassachusetts is trying to dor

tax-payin- g females. Whatan argument is this for womansuffrage!

The dog is a faithful creature.It clings to its master though evilbetide. The cat hasn't an ounceof affection for anything but thesaucer of milk, the house of its-birt-

h

and the nearest backyardfence. Its mistress may go toChina and the cat cares not. Carefor the person who feeds and fondlesit never killed a cat.

The dogs kill an occasional sheephence the tax. The cats kill

millions of song birds yearly notax. The dog bites rarely; the catscratches often. The dog bays atthe moon at midnight; the catcaterwauls at other cats. Tax thecats.

Birds Kill Mosquitoes.

The nhwspapers announce withconsiderable trumpet blare thatMr. Helen Gould has "discovered"a noted ornithologist in Col. IsaacW. Brown, who believes that forevery insect dangerous to animallife a bird has been created to ex-

terminate it, and that after listeningto Mr. Brown, Miss Gould has sentthe colonel to Texas at her ex-

pense for the purpose of makinginvestigations and learning, if pos-

sible, what birds naturally feedupon and destroy the boll weevil.

Townships and the UnitedStates Agricultural Depart-ment have spent thousandsof dollars in endeavoring to findout some way to exterminate themosquito. Nonpareils, if reason-ably plentiful, will clear any local-ity of flies and mosquitoes, andthey stand our northern climatewell.

The nonpareil is unequaled forbeauty, and living almost whollyon insects, our Agricultural Depart-ment cannot use money better thanby insuring the multiplying of thisbeautiful and useful bird. Crowsare universally hunted and destroy-ed by farmers, although they areinvaluable in keeping down the de-

structive cutworms. Blackbirds areeverywhere considered a nuisance,but they are exceedingly useful tothe farmer in destroying insects.

Ititllim Immigrant nil Honest mid

Thririy Class.

Secretary Metcnlf of the Depart-

ment of Commerce nnd Labor, hasicccnlly received a letter from n

prominent Italian of California,which contains some interesting in-

formation concerning the progrchSand condition of his fellow-countryme- n

in that .state. He mentionsseveral by name, and he mighthave referred to others, for n number of Italian immigrants occupyprominent positions in industrialand commercial movements. Mr.Andrea Sbarboro, for example, ispresident of the manufacturers andProducers' Association of the stateHe is also president of the Italian- -

American Bank.The writer, having recently vis-

ited the immigrant station at EllisIsland, approves the propositionthat a bureau of .information be established there which may directimmigrants where to settle, in accordance with their capabilities."There is no question that toomany immigrants are stopping inlarge cities," he says, "who wouldbe valuable acquisitions in thesouthern states, in the west, andespecially in our own state of Cali-

fornia. The largest percentage ofItalian immigrants are farmers.They are thrifty and patient andmake a good living on a very smalltract of land. You know thatnearly all the vegetables grown inCalifornia are produced by Italianhands. They are also veryexpertin handling fruit, and are at homein the vineyard.

"Our Italian-Swis- s colony nearCloverdale, Sonoma county, con-

sisting of over 1,500 acres of land,which in 1881 supported two menand 500 sheep, is today givingprofitable employment directly andindirectly to over 1 ,000 people, andits wines'are known throughout theworld. California has the sameclimate and soil as that of Italy.It is one-thir- d larger. Whilst Italysupports 35,000,000 of people wehave not yet reached the two mil-

lion mark. Therefore, it is to ourinterest to eucourape healthy,thrifty, strong people to our state.I have heard some one say that theItalian immigrant is undesirablebecause he comes to this country,makes a little money, and then returns to Italy. This is an unfairprejudice, not warranted by thefacts. I know from my own ex-

perience in California for the pastfifty years that not 3 per cent of theItalians who have come here havereturned to Italy to remain. Someof them do return home after theyhave made some mouey, but mostof them go to bring their familiesto this country.

"It is true that the Italian immi-

grant, when he lands from his ship,is in many cases uncouth, and insome cases illiterate, but he soonassimilates with the other people ofthe country, generally raises afamily, and, feeling the disadvan-tage of the want of an educationhimself, devotes his whole energyto see that his children receive agood education. We have severalnotable examples of the progressmade by these children in our state.

"Mr. F. M. Angellotti, the son ofan illiterate Italian fisherman, wasrecently elected judge of the su-

preme court. We have in SanFrancisco a number of good law-

yers, banker. and heads of largebusiness houses. M. J. Fontana,who came here when a little boyengaged in the humble position ofa bootblack, is now at the head ofthe California Fruit Cauners' Association, the largest establishment ofthat trade in the world.

"As to the criminality of theItalian immigrant, I beg to callyour attention to the following par-

agraph, which is taken from thebureau of education, circular of in-

formation No. 4, entitled the 'Ab-- .normal Man,' which gives some

J statistics about criminality. InI speaking of the nationality of theseCiiminals it states: 'Forty-tw- o percent were natives of the state and43 per cent were natives of others.ates. This will confirm the well-- ,known migratory tendency in crim-- I

iuals. Eleven per cent were fromIreland, 3 per cent each from ,Ger- -

many and Canada, 4 per cent fromlvuglattd nnd Wales, 1 per centfrom Italy, eight-tenth- s per centfrom othef countries.' In referenceto the education of prisoners it wasfound that 13 per cent could neitherread nor write, 1 per cent claimedto have been to college, 4 per centin the high schools nnd academies,48 per cent in grammar grades ofpublic schools and 20 per cent inprivate elementary schools. Thistends to show that it is not the illit-

erate class who give the largestnumber of criminals.

"I do not believe that yon wouldfind any Italians in any almshouseor public hospital in the state ofLouisiana. In all pf the Americantowns and cities where Italians re-

side in any considerable numberthere exist mutual benefit societies,the members of which pay Si a

month, and whenever n member issick he is taken care of by the so-

ciety. If a member should beepmeincurable a collection is madeamong bis countrymen, passage athalf-far-e is obtained from the steam-ship company and the unfortunateis sent home. In New Orleansthere are many wealthy Italianswho take cnte of their sick, andonly recently one of these, CaptainSalvatore Pizzati, donated $75,000for the erection of an orphan asylumin New Orleans. The Italians generally arc a thrifty and economicalpeople, and far from being chargeson the public, save their earningsnnd help to build up the country."

TheA Will Fed 1'coplc.American people do not

properly appreciate the excellenceand abundance of their daily rationsof food. They are the best fed peo-

ple on earth. We recently saw alarge painting whereon the artisthad depicted a dozen faces an oldman and woman, toilers in mine,factory and field; little childrentypes of humanity which never hadenough to eat. There were a" hor-

rible gauutucss and a look of almosthopeless despair in their poorly nou-

rished faces, the look of the hun-

gry wild beasts, the soul becloudedwith ever present hunger. Thereare more people of this sort in theworld than we dream of, in the cityslums, on the starved acres of Ire-

land, in India, in China, whereverthere is poverty of soil, excess ofpopulation, drought of food or insect pest, or where the hand of despotism touches humanity. Forhis three good square meals a day.whether he lives in town or country,for the always ample supply of pala-

table and nourishing food, the Am-

erican citizen should return dailythanks.

Illlo Club Has Provided n IMIllriillmid llimirdotis Course.

The following description of thelinks of the Ililo Coir Club ap-

peared recently in the HonoluluAdvertiser, and is the opinion ofthe sporting editor:

About two months ago Ililo de-

cided to play golf and proceeded toorganize a club, the members andofficers of which arc:

Directors W. F. Balding, president; K. C. Mcllor, secretary andtreasurer; S. (Irace, captain; E. N.Holmes, Dr. II. Hayes.

Members R. E. Raiding, D. K.Metzger, V. llurd, T. Guard, J. C.Ridgway, Thos. C. Ridgway, Dr.C. I. Stow, Dr. A. Irwin, Dr. J.Holland, W. II. Schoening, W. II.Smith, H. L,. Ross, J. E. Mctcalf,C. 1'. Benton, Geo. N. Day, H. L.Shaw, Wm. McKay, Mrs W. T.Balding, Mrs. E. N. Holmes, Mrs.

J. E. Mctcalf, Mrs. II. L. Shaw,Mrs. Wm. McKay, Miss S. Peck,Miss E. Peck, Miss M. Gee.

A beautiful 7 hole course hasbeen laid out on the ridge back ofMr. Peck's home overlooking theharbor. The distances and bogiesare as follows:

1st hole..J3t yds. bouie..42nd " '"...303 53rd "...343 " " 54II1 "...200 " " 45th "...180 ' 46th ' ""...301 5

" " 67U1 "...407

(diflicuh)

TotaL.1865 yds. bogle 33

In matches or tournaments 9holes are played by playing No. 1

and No. 4 after No. 7, making the9 holes 2296 yards with a bogieof 41.

The Colonel to date, we under-stand, has not been defeated but asa new horse mower has just beenput on the course and the greensare fast being put into wecan predict that he will soon losehis position as champion.

Comparison with the Oahucourses will show that the Hilocourse is second in length of its en-

tire course, Halciwa being but 100yards longer, but from the fact thatthe Hilo course is rolling countryaud has many more natural bunk-ers which punish a pulled or slicedball severely, as it should be, thethe Hilo course is as fine a courseas there is in the islands aud inanother year Honolulu will haveto work hard for a victory on theHilo course.

Haleiwa Golf Club Course, 2396yards; bogie, 40.

Hilo Golf Club Course, 2296yards; bogie, 41.

Honolulu Golf Club Course(Moanalua), 2154 yards; 40.

Manoa Golf Club Course, 2046ynrds; bogie, 41.

Hilo has several good holeswhich call for par golf for bogiescores where flumes, slopes anddips punish too long or short ashot and call out forcible expres-sions on a sliced or pulled ball.

J. W. Ahitm, popularly known ns Nel-

Onhis arrival nt Knpoho after n hard day'shorseback ride, intending to stop withhis sister residing there, he wns shockedto learn that she was drowning nt the Iwt-tor- n

of n clifT where no one could get toher. He ran nearly n mile to the spot 011

beach where it was slated his sister wasIn the water. The woman, supportingherself 011 n log which had been thrownto her, was slicing buffeted by the breaking seas. Two stalwart natives nftcrfruitless attempts to let down n shortrope over the cliff to the woman, whenthey saw Aliinn, threw the line Into thewater in their excitement and nil hope ofrescuing his sister in that way was aban-doned. Quickly divesting himself of hisclothing, he carefully cllmed down theprecipitous bluff which was about four-teen feet high, got hold of the rope, pass-ed one cud back to the frightened menon the bank, nud proceeded to nttncll theother end to his sister's wrists. The ropewas too short lo be tied about her waist,and in order to reach her hands resortwas made to a bamboo splice. Carefullythe half drowned woman was brought tothe lop of the cliff, exhausted and withscarcely a vestige of clothing. She hadremained in the water thiec hours nnddusk was rapidly falling when her brothcr arrived nud rescued her from awatery grave. She snffercd only n fewbruises and Ahina cut his hands andlimbs considerably in his self sacrificingrescue of his sister. It is a custom of theHawaiian women to search along thebeach and rocks for oplhi, a species ofshell fish, and it appears that Mr. Ahi-ua- 's

sister had slipped from the rocksand was rapidly being dashed to deathwhen discovered and subsequently res-

cued by her brother.1

The American-Hawaiia- n steamer Tex-an, Lyons, master, arrived In Ililo Satur-day morning from Knhulul andHonolulu, to load sugar for DclewnreBreakwater. The Texan is the vessilwhich rnu the Russian blockade withprovisions nnd nrinor plate for the Japanese government. The strainer has justreturned from the trip, nftcr makingHongkong nud Manila nnd arriving inHonolulu on the 14th instant. CaptainLyons reports nn uneventful trip nudmodestly refers to the voyage, which headmits wad not attended without dangers.The trip was made from Seattle In twentydays, without meeting or sighting nny ofthe patrolling Russian war vessels. Inher cargo the Texan carried ostensibly toprivate parties, but for the use of theJapanese government 378,000 sacks ofAmerican flour, noo tons of steel plateconsigned to Hongkong, China, but discharged nt Kobe. There were 500 tons oflocomotives which were likewise consign-ed to private parties, besides 500,000 feetof lumber nnd smaller cargo.

The American Hawaiian Company werecareful to have their papers straight inthe case of beingovcrhauled, and adoptedthe precautionary measure of having allcargo consigned to individual owners,which according to international lawcannot be regarded as contraband goods.It is understood that the Company cleanedup n nice bum for transporting the haz-ardous freight.

Capt. Wm. Lyons was formerly incharge of the S. S. Arizonlan, and suc-ceeded to the command of the Texanafter the death of Captain Geo. D. Mor-rison, well known here and who suc-cumbed to typhoid fever at Philadelphiaafter leaving the islands. Capt. Morrisoncleared from Ililo on the Texan in Aprillast, and soon after his arrival contractedtyphoid by drinking impure water servedby the ship's steward. At the sugarwharves, where the American-Hawaiia- n

vessels lay is a large tank of pure waterfor the use of the ships, but the messboycarelessly pumped up water from theDelcware river into which the citySewage empties. The water was servedat the Captain's table, Iced and appearedto be fresh. All of the officers becamesick, Captain Morrison and Chief En-gineer McVicars developing pytems oftyphoid. After n- - prolonged illnessEngineer McVicars recovered, but Capt.Morrison died in the latter part ofAugust. He was a man who was popularwith crew and officers, and was extremelycareful of all drinking water but fell avictim of the carelessness of the ship'ssteward.

The Texan is loading sugar and expectsto clear this morning for the Atlanticseaboard. V

A number of the localtalent were easily couqured. The

SMALL FARMERS AND

SUGAR PLANTATIONS.

Jared Smith Believes the Plantations Will EventuallyBe Cut Up Into Small Holdings Advantages toHawaii An AttractiveHe Can Get Land Encouragement Needed.

In an open letter to the Advertiser, dated January 14th, JaredSmith, in charge of the U. S. Ex-

perimental Station at Honolulu,makes the following prophecy onthe future of Hawaii as an agricul-

tural community:"It is an easy matter in any dis-

cussion of public events to soundthe cry that dust is being raised forthe purpose of confusing the mentalvision of the jury that is to decideas to the guilt or innocence of theaccused. In the case of the Pink-ha- m

commission, who or what is itthat is on trial? Is it the small farmer ns against the white mechanicand laborer? I do not think so. Isit sugar cane versus diversified in-

dustries? To my mind the planta-tion system, as existent in Hawaii,is on trial for life. The case willprobably be continued through ma-

ny terms of court and appeal will be

taken on every .debatable point tothe highest tribunal Congress andthe President.

A cheap and abundant supply oflabor is one of the chief factors to-

ward n continuation of the planta-tion system indefinitely, but it is

not the dominant factor. The onefactor that makes possible the culti-

vation of any crop on a business ba-

sis similar to that employed in thecase of a bank, or a rail-roa- d, or amanufacturing corporation, is thatall the arable laud suited for thatcrop shall be owned by a limitednumber of individuals or corpo-

rations rather than by a large num-

ber of individuals. Where the landis cut up into small holdings thecultivation of any crop under theplantation system is impossible.

If two thousand, or ten thousand,white mechanics and skilled laborers were induced to come toHawaii, would they stay here under a continuation of this policyand these conditions?

The advocates of the plantationsystem justify their monopoly ofthe agricultural lands on the groundsthat the cultivation of cane has become ,o intensive that it is for allpractical purposes to be consideredas a sort of manufacturing enter-prise. On many plantations culti-

vation is on a highly artificial basis.Fully t,wo-thir- of the plantationswould pass out of existence if theprotective tariff on sugar enteringthe American market were repeal-ed. But cane would continue to begrown wherever the land is suffi-

ciently fertile so long as a profitwere to accrue to the landholderswho would produce it.

Concentration and amalgamationmay be the rule in business, bank-ing and manufacture, but worldwide tendency in agriculture is theother way. The tobacco, cottonand cane plantations of the Southhave given way to tobacco, cottonand cane farmers, so that the Southproduces ten times as much as thesestaples today as it did during theregime of the old system. The bigranches of the West and South-west have deen cut up into smallholdings, with the result that inmany cases ten acres support morecattle than a hundred acres did be-

fore. In every instance wheregreat estates in passing are suc-

ceeded by increase in number ofland owners, it means a general in-

crease of individual wealth.What Hawaii needs most of all

is, not a greater volume of tradewith the mainland and foreign coun-

tries, but a greater volume of tradehere nt home. To secure this wemust have a marked increase in thewhite population!.

The question narrows drwn tothis: Do we want while farmers andmechanics or do we not want them.

To set the advantages of the far-

mer against the mechanic or viceversa is to beg the question. Ifany considerable number of white

Field for White Farmer, If

farmers nnd mechanics gain a foothold in Hawaii the cud of the plantation system will surely follow.

When cane or ranch lands nowunder lease at merely nominal renktals are offered at public auction asthe leases expire the present lessees(in many instances corporations orestates) will run the chance eitherof having to pay much larger ren-

tals or some farmer may bid in theland and the present lessee maylose it. If there were ten thousandwhite farmers and mechanics inHawaii instead of a few hundred,as today, there would be more com-

petition for the Government lands,I do not believe that there wouldnecessarily follow any material re-

duction in the output of sugar.The white man has acquired the

habit of thinking for himscll. Theracial inferiority of the black, brownand yellow man is due, not to hiscolor, but to his acquired habit ofletting other people think for him.The laboring classes of any countryare its chief source of wealth. Thesavings of the laborer constitute ca-

pital for the dclcvopment of newresources. The volume of dailyexpenditures of the laborer controlsthe volume of trade among the mer-

chants. The Asiatic labor contri-butes his savings to the develop-ment of the land from which hecame. He does not insist upon theright to own land here because heexpects to return to his native coun-

try as soon as he has acquired acompetency.

The white man, be he mechanicor farmer, expects to own his homeand prefers to work for himself.Any white man who remains inHawaii three years would ratherlive here than any other place inthe world, provided he can buyland for a home, and if he can getland he will stay. A rented housein an acre of leased land is uot ahome in which the average whiteman hopes to spend his decliningyears.

Is Hawaii to be operated simplyas a cold-bloode- d business proposi-tion? Is the cheap production ofsugar to be the cud and aim of oursocial and political life? Sugar canbe produced more cheaply in Cubathan in Hawaii, not because theabundance of cheap labor in Cuba,but because cane laud can be boughtfor five dollars an acre, cleared andplanted for a comparatively smallsum and the cane harvested in ashorter season. Less cultivation isrequired, no irrigation or fertiliza-tion, and the fields may be ratoouedfor ten or twenty years. Thesefacts may all be readily verified, butthe men who make money out ofsugar in Cuba do not live there anddo not want to. They reside inNew York, or Paris or London.The laud is hot, malarial, unhealthyand unsafe. The planter thatmakes money out of cheap sugarin Cuba wants to live somewhereelse.

In Hawaii it is different. Thelaud is fair to look upon, the cli-

mate better than anywhere in theworld. Kvery white man whostays in Hawaii twelve monthswill ever after long to return, if hegoes away. The climate is uot trop-

ical although the whole group lieswithin the tropic zone. Every na-

tural and climate condition is infavor of the health and comfort ofthe white race. Hawaii is a goodlaud to live in. When people onthe mainland discover what superioradvantages Hawaii has in the mat-

ter of climate they will come herenot only to visit but to make theirhomes, and we cannot keep themout.

Thus, although Cuba may beable to grow cheaper sugar, Ha-

waii nas actual, material advan-tages that discount the former's twomillion ton sugar crop.

Sugar cane will continue to grow

in Hawaii even though ten thous-and while farmers and mechanics-com-

to live in the islands. Whenwe acquire n .stronger while popu-

lation the whole community willbenefit in every way. Who is therethat wauls, to go on record as asadvocate of the theory that "theAmerican is n failure" in Hawaii?

The racial solidity of the Japa-nese is such that when the numbersof llawaiiau-bori- i men of that natio-nality outnumber the Caucasianand Hawaiian voters they can dictate legislation to suit their ownideas and ideals. We already havesonic six hundred voters of Chinese and Japanese parentage. Ja-

pan is a world power standing onabsolutely an equal footing withany other nation. Ily treaty andttadition her citizens must receiveequal privileges and equal protec-tion with citizens of the Caucasianrace so long as they obey the lawsof the United States nnd remainwithin the borders of its juris-

diction. On the mainland the in-

coming Japanese will undoubtedlyamalgamate with the numericallysuperior white race. In Hawaii,will the children of the ninety thou-

sand Chinese and Japanese laborersand merchants, when' they attainmanhood and the privileges of Am-

erican citizenship, remain Orien-

tals, or are they going to acquire andexercise and mautaiu Americanideals of government?

As Americans and Hawaiiaus wemust face this problem and considerit fairly, squarely and openly. Be-

cause our native-bor- n Chinese andJapanese citizens have thus far tak-

en little part in public life andaffairs, is no valid excuse that weshould ignore the situation that isbound to develop in' the future.Today is the time to plan for themorrow. Tomorrow it will be toolate. The pratical, te andwide-awak- e merchant may sub-

scribe to the laissez faire doctrineas affecting the social economy ofthe State, but if he runs his ownbusiness in that way he goes to thewall. The business of government,present and future, directly affectsevery American citizen.

To Mexico.

Efforts are being made, it ap-

pears to secure immigration of Por-

tuguese of Hawaii to Mexico andcontracts are being considered forfurtherance of the plan. J. J.Souza has made public the follow-

ing letter on the subject:

Mexico City, Dec. 27, 1904.Mr. Joaquim J. de Souza, 716 Kea-w- e

Street, Honolulu, H. I.Dear Sir: Mr. Fernando Leyte

de Foyos informs me of your pur-poses for the immigration to thiscountry of a large number of Por-tuguese families. I also saw yourletter of 9th of past November, ad-

dressed to Mr. Ramon Carona, referring to your agreement madewith said gentleman during yourinstance here about the said matterthat you believed of the utmostimportance.

On account that my client, Mr.Leyte, and 1 are proposing to theMexican Government an immigra-tion contract, and we are also ar-

ranging such contracts with someprivate firms, I think it would beuseful for you to inform me aboutthe terms required by the immi-grants that you propose; the num-ber of families, the date in whichthey may leave from there, and ifsaid immigrants are all farmers.

Trusting to be favored with anearly reply, I remain

Very respectfully yours,AUGUSTO L. ROSADO.

Citizen Labor.

A bill to regulate the employ-ment of labor has been introducedin the House by RepresentativeAdams of Pennsylvania, "by re-

quest." The mcosuie providesthat any person or company em-

ploying mechanics or anyother help shall give preference toAmerican citizens and the neigh-bors in the vicinity of such em-

ployers, before giving work toforeigners, or people being at adistance. That no employer shallhave the right to discharge an em-

ploye for a petty cause so long aswork is giv-Mi- . That eight hoursof labor shall be deemed a legalday's work. There are manyother radical provisions embodiedin the bill.

ATKINSON (IAI.LE1) DOWN.

Ilplcgnto Kulilo Write That Scoretnry Atkinson lulorfcroH

Ullh Work.

In nn open letter, under date ofJanuary 4, 1905, published in theEvening Bulletin nt Honolulu,Delegate Kalauiaunolc criticisesSecretary Atkinson for interferingwith nnd hindering his work beforeCongress. He says in part:

"These would-b- e friends of theSecretary iliavc sought to give outthe impression that Chairman Bur-

ton of the Rivers and Harbors Com-

mittee and other leaders of Con-

gress have requested that the Sec-

retary remain here for a month togive information 011 Hawaiian mat-

ters. Secretary Atkinson wouldnot himself give out a statement atonce so foolish and implying suchignorance on the part of Honolulupeople in regard to methods of workin the House and Senate.Mr. Burton's private secretary,when asked in regard to the rumor,laughed at it as an excellent joke,as Mr. Burton has almost daily torefuse requests for fifteen-minut- e

interviews both with Members ofthe House and men who come herefrom all parts of the country topress river and harbor projects.

"Diligent inquiry here at theCapital seems to indicate that theentire story is based on the sugges-tion of a division clerk in the In-

terior Department, who has super-vised the publishing of the Gover-nor's report, and who suggestedthe desirability of having the Sec-

retary remain."The Delegate then describes the

difficulties of doing effective workat Washington and in detail showswhat he has accomplished. Con-

tinuing, he says:"I have held the Honolulu Har-

bor matter as of first importance,and bent every energy to that mea-

sure. The cooperation of all whohave helped in the effort to securethe special action necessary to getHonolulu Harbor AppropriationBill this year has been appreciated;but the matter has been involvedand difficult one and easy to be de-

feated by any confusion in hand-ling.

"Secretary Atkinson is very anxious to help the cause; but one ofhis first acts since returning fromNew York was, without consultingme, to go to the Secretary of Warand ask him to do what the WarDepartment had just completed doing. Secretary Taft, not beingpersonally familiar with the matter,consented and at once passed downthe order to his subordinates; thenatural result at the War Depart-ment will be confusion, and dissatis-faction, and distrust of Hawaii'smen and methods.

"If I had broken into SecretaryAtkinson's bond negotiations in thesame manner, I think the citizensof Hawaii would have justly criti-

cized me.

"I chose Mr. McClellan as mysecretary with the approval of boththe commercial organizations ofHonolulu; we have worked syste-matically for the securing of thisdifficult harbor legislation, and hisservices have been very satisfactory.After the first conference with Mr.Burton he told his secretary thatour statement was one of the strongest non- - technical presentations ofa new harbor project that had everbeen made before him. It is nau-

seating to have to quote such per-

sonal matters as these, but it seemsnecessary in order to show that mysecretary aud myself are really ableto intelligently present measures iuCongress.

"I do not claim all the credit forsecuring the special order from Mr.Burton, but if it had been inducedby Mr. Atkinson's efforts, it wouldnaturally have come when he sawhim last in November, instead oftwo weeks after" Mr. Atkinson hadleft the city.

"I appreciate the help of every cit-

izen of Hawaii who willin a definite plan of work here atthe Capital. But for individualmen in Honolulu to maintain Sec-retary Atkinson or any one elsehere by the month as an indepen-dent worker, can lead only to con-fusion and injury to Hawaii's in-

terests.Very truly yours,

J. K. Kalanianaoi.u,'Delegate to Congress.
