The Trades and Labor Congress of

A plea for olive culture is made
by correspondent, who forgets
that the subject has been mentioned
in these columns. Mr.. Lycan inten-
ded to have the mountain sides of
his fruit farm at Kalihi planted in
olive trees, which was mentioned in
a description of his enterprise in this
paper. 1t would be grand con-
summation to have the dismal hues
of the mountain slopes overlooking
Honolulu superseded by verdant
garment of olive foliage, the now
unproductive wastes becoming
fields of industry and sources of
wealth.
The judiciousness of liberal ex-
penditure, when particular work
must be well done if attempted at
all, is manifest in the result of hav-
ing Government veterinary surgeon
appointed and giving him power to
stamp out glanders. When the
Legislature granted the appropria-
ton for this official about eighteen
months ago, that disease was making
fearful ravages among the equine
stock of the kingdom, involving an
annual loss of many thousands of
dollars to plantation owners and
others, and threatening to become a
universal plague all over the Islands.
Now, through the skilful and ener-
getic action of Mr.. Brodie, the
veterinarian appointed under the
Act, and his coadjutors of the Board
of Inspectors for the Suppression of
Disease among Live Stock, the
malady has been effectually eradi-
Gated.
A Sydney despatch of January

A pretty extended Samoan ver-

not have the mack of acquiring colo

question responsible for ensuing
troubles. England alone, among
the nations, seems to be master of
the art of colonial acquisition, the
peoples brought under her dominion
being always, apparently, repre-
sented to the English people, as
well as to themselves and the world,
as receiving just and beneticent
fate. And, almost without excep-

WASHINGTON, Julyl4.
To the Heads of Departments in the Ser
vice of the General Government:
81 deem this proper time to especially
warn all subordinates in the several de-
partments and all office-holders under the
general government against the use or
their Official positions in attempts TO con-
troll political movements in their locali-
ties. Office holders are the agents of the
people, not their masters. Not only is
their time and labor due to the govern
ment, but they should scrupulously avoid
in their political action as well as in the
discharge of their official duty, offending
by display of obstrusive partisanship
their neighbors who have relations with
them as public officials. They should also
constantly remember that party friends
from whom they have received prefer
ment, have not invested them with the
power of arbitrarily managing political
affairs They have no right as office holders
to dictate the political action of their party
associates or to throttle freedom OF action
within party lines with methods and prac-
tices which pervert every useful and JUS
The influence of federal office holders
should not be felt in the manipulation OF
political primary meetings and nominal
ing conventions. The use by these Off
Gals OF there positions TO compass tneir
selection as delegates to political conven-
tions is indecent and unfair, and proper
regard for the proprieties. and require
ments of official place will also prevent
their assuming the active conduct or po-
litical campaigns. Individual interest and
activity in political affairs are by no
means condemned. Ofiice-holders are
neither DISTINGUISHED nor forbidden the
exercise of political privileges, but their
privileges are not enlarged, nor Is their
duty to party increased to pernicious ac-
tivity by office holding. A just discrimi-
nation in this regard between the things a
citizen may properly do and the purposes
for which public office should not be
used, is easy, in the light Of correct APP
probation Of the relation between the
people and those entrusted with official
place, and consideration of the necessity
of our form of government of political ac-
ton free from official coercion. You are
requested to communicate the substance
of these views to those for whose guidance
they are intended.

Firing on Our Flag.

The American flag was fired on the other
day by anarchists as 1t was lying over "a
Chicago. The flag was carried by pro-
ceosion of Norwegians from the North
Side. They were on their way to picnic
given by the Norwegian sangerfest. AT one
point, where the sidewalks were crowded
with people, men in the crowd suddenly
drew their revolvers and fred directly at
the flag. Six bullets went through 1T.
Emil Nelson was hit in the neck by spent
ball, which inflicted slight flesh wound.
The marching Norwegians started on a
double quick, holding the stars and stripes
proudly aloft. Several bullets whizzed
past them and they were much alarmed,
fearing another riot like the hay market.
There were no police in sight. The pro-
cession made a rapid march to the park In
jefferson. There the affair was reported
to the police.

In swimming the whirlpool rapids in the

Graham had told reporter all about

into the river to point where the current
would catch il, and where Graham was

be his trip to eternity.
The towing process took only few
minutes, and then the stream caught the

The cask kept pretty well in the center
of the river until it reached the whirlpool,
when it struck strong side current and
was carried swiftly through, reaching the
waters beyond in safety. From here the
journey was comparatively quiet. The
cask was picked up at Lewiston, about five
miles below the starting point, and Ora

slight bruise on his arm. He remarked:
