his apparent anxiety now to admit the

has had it in his power the last two
sessions to have these bills passed. but
while he has publicly stated that he
wanted to admit the territories, he has
in secret and in committee, exerted al
the force Of his nature to defeat theil

TACOMA, Nov. 29.-Just which Of

politics and deserving Of recognition.
There are many faithful party workers

what was expected by the general public,
for the opinions we're greatly divided

DONNELLY AND SEA AEs.
PEARE.

Ignatius Donnelly's Shakespear-
can cipher story has been endorsed
as sound by George Parker Bidder,
Queens counsel, one OF the most
eminent English matneInaticians.
The Baconian theory of the author
ship OF the plays hitherto credited
to Shakespeare is steadily gaining
adherents, aud it is the Reports
opinion that it is destined to ulti-
mate general acceptance. That
Donrelly has decided the question
we do not say. But that he has
pointed out the way in which it is
to be decided there is much reason,
to believe.
Some revision OF chronological
data and rules will have to be
made when it shall have been dis
covered that the famous forehead
OF Shakespeare did not shelter the
brains OF the man who wrote "Ham-
let."-Daily Report.
Donnelly's cryptogram cipher Is
the subject in the Chicago Tribune
of a long article by Professor Elias
Colbert, the astronomer and mathe-
natician. He says that while the
cipher will terribly shake the Bard
of Avon OIL his pedestal, it does not,
So far as developed, prove that
Bacon wrote any of the plays, ex'
cept the first and second parts oil
Henry w., and even ii it be con-
ceded that he was the father OF all
the historical plays, there is still
room for the supposition that such
works as s.The Tempest" and ga

RENO, New, April 3d.
The Reno journal will tomorrow
morning announce authoratively
that Woodburn is not candidate
for Congress or any other Office
within the gift of the party. In
the letter transmitted he thanks
the party for its kind past consider
atoms, but regrets his inability to
further save it in public capacity.
He adyiseA the nomination of an
active man-one whose industry
will accomplish more than elo-
quence.
This opens the doors to numer-
ous candidates-in fact makes the
coming issue hinge on the Congress
s;onal race. Prof. Young and Hon.
G. C. Powning of Washoe will loom
I'D in consequence. Squalls will
be no name for discomfitures, and
MANY states will be broken when
this intelligence reaches their build
ers. Gresham is the favorite here
for President,-- Congress,

WOODBURY. EyuTHDEAvgs.

1t will be seen by dispatch in
the local columns that Hon. VIM.
Woodburn is out OF the Congress-
;onal race, and desires no office
whatever from the people OF Ne
vada.
The APPEAL thinks that it can
understand why ne is out. During
the campaign Mr.. Woodburn will
stump the State oil New York for
the Republican nominee for Presi-
dent.
There is an immense Irish vote
in New York, which would leave
the Democratic party if it but knew
the methods employed by Demo-
cratic party leaders to hoodwink
and swindle the Irish people.
Cleveland has been their most
persistant enemy, and with his rec
ord as aiding England with free
trade. The Irish have but to see
the thing in its proper light to have
the scales tall from their eyes. But
it takes an Irishman 10 tell it to
them, and as Mr. Woodburn has
spent some time collecting the facts
in the case, the APPEAL predicts
that next Fall will see Woodburn
stumping New York, and if the
ticket wins he will be rendered a
foreign mission.
This is only surinise on the
part of the APPEAL, but we wager
something that it IS correct. What
effect his Withdrawal from the State
fight will have we cannot say.
1t will remove some complications,
and it leaves the fight between
Young and Cleveland, at least 10
other candidates are now in the
field.

THE limits to the development of the
fruit business in this country are ALSO
lutely unknown. That much can be
done is certain, but in what direction
development will make the best return
is not so certain. The orange business
in California has been so greatly devel-
oped that it is not likely that we shall be
able to compete there. The banana bust
ness is, however, susceptible OF great
increase. There is no reason why Ha-
waii should not supply bananas TO the
whole Pacific Coast west Of the Rocky
Mountains, as well as small part OF
California only as at present. Another
fruit growing here well is the Tahitian
vi or Wee apple. This fruit can be
transported great distances, because, ii
picked when thoroughly matured but
not soft. it keeps in good order for many
days and often as long as three weeks.
This brings it at once within the range
OF fruits which can be sent to the Califor-
mia market. Fruit which was picked
here and sent to the Coast was in good
order and fine condition for eating fifteen
DAYS after arrival there 1t is fruit of
such quality as to insure its becoming a
fayorite, both as TO appearance and
flavor. The tree grows readily in all OF
the warm localities OF the Islands and
repays cultivation by most abundant
harvest. The pineapple is another fruit
which might be made a source Of in
come. 1t is OF much more perishable
character than some others, but when
carefully packed and shipped immedi-
ately payS very handsomely. The price
in San Francisco is very rarely below So
dozen, often rising as high as $40.
There has been considerable loss in pine
apples, but in nearly every case it will
be found either that the fruit was picked
too ripe, improperly packed, or sent by
slow conveyance. The fruit grows al
most without care. Given sufficient heat,
light sandy soil and occasional rains. it
becomes an abundant producer. OF
course, orchard fruits require more time,
land and capital than are within the reach
of many poor people, but bananas and
pineapples, as well as other small fruits,
require but a small area and short time
to make large returns. And for these
reasons many OF the small fruits are
directly within the reach OF persons OF
small means. With a reasonable degree
of energy united with intelligence the
cry of hard times might soon cease.
The Hawaiian gazette. [volume] (Honolulu [Oahu, Hawaii]) 1865-1918, 1888-10-02

superior to the other archipelagoes Of the
Pacific is the white mans doing. Their
religion, their manners and laws, their
trade and their industries the white man
brought here. 1t was even he who first
brought the Chinaman here. Rejecting
white men look on with regret and also
with feeling akin to displeasure at the
present state of things which threatens
to render the country Chinese and not
haole in its character. They mean to
put stop to the influences that are at
work in that direction, and to check the
tendencies which are changing every
thing and undoing the work of more
than half century OF white colonial
ton of Hawaii. But before everything
they desire to be just. Justice does not
demand that they should let things go
on as they are and have been going on.
Justice does not say throw up the
sponge and let the Chinaman swamp
you out" After all the Chinaman is
here on sufferance-a sufferance which
his own nation extends to no man, not
even to her nearest neighbors. They
are bound to accept the situation, and
their leading men ought to cooperate
with the haole in establishing such
regulations for the Chinese who are
here and for excluding those who are
not here, as will put an end to the usurp-
alton OF the country and its industries
by the Chinese to the detriment OF the
white man, who was the first conner, and
who made the islands what they are.
We believe that many OF the more intel
ligent Chinese see this as plainly as we
do 1t will be well for both parties and
especially for the Chinese if these gen.
tlemen will take those of their country
men in hand who are disposed to be
turbulent and unreasonable, and teach
them the common sense view OF the
questions at issue.
The Hawaiian gazette. [volume] (Honolulu [Oahu, Hawaii]) 1865-1918, 1888-10-02

chances of the villains ever being
brought to justice wax less and less.
We fear that this tragedy will have to be
added to the list OF unpunished crime;
that is, unpublished as far as the feeble
power of man goes, for the murderer
always carries the burden of his crime
with him, it is ever present with him.
This is by no means an isolated case in
these Islands. Some years ago a wo-
man, riding from Kahului to Spreckels-
vile, was foully butchered, and no one
was ever discovered who could in any
way be connected with the crime. There
is no doubt that crimes in the isolated
parts of these Islands can be committed
and the perpetrators easily escape. 1t
behoves our police to be especially vigi-
liant, and our sheriffs and deputy sheritfs
should be active men. Unfortunately
the training OF our police officers is not
such as to bring out the qualities neces-
sary for investigating intricate cases of
crime. The whole works. very much that
of amateurs, and a good New York or
Chicago detective could find out in a
week what our people would not dis
cover in year unless they happened to
have it stuffed under their noses. We
are glad to see in the Puma case the
police were more active than in that OF
the Waiakea murder. Two men have
been arrested but one OF them has been
allowed to slip off the mortal coil after
having made confession. The fact
that the prisoner was allowed to possess
himself OF poison and then take it, does
not argue very strongly for the vigilance
of the officer in charge. The prisoner
was Chinaman. He had tried to dash
his brains out, he had tried to hang him
self. The steamer 10y which he was be-
ing brought TO Honolulu had number
OF Chinese on board and it was easy to
pass him what he needed. But with the
warning that the police already had they
ought to have displayed extra vigilance
| in guarding the man.
