Congressman Stewart of Vermont
tells Carson Lake of the New York
Press that the republican party might
expect to meet defeats like that in
Iowa and Ohio until it repealed the
internal revenue laws, and so broke
up the power of the whiskey manu-
facturers to combine in their business
and in politics. ''That has been my
platform for long time,' he added.
''But you cannot bring congressman
up to it's consideration. They are
afraid of the whiskey vote in their
districts and fight shy of doing any
thing to antagonize it. Meanwhile
the liquor interests are getting more
and more powerful in politics every
year. The very fact that they object
to the tax being taken off should be
enough to cause it's removal. 1t IS
the only interest anywhere that wants
to be taxed, because the method OF
taxation enables it to know where
and by whom all the product of the
country is manufactured, and to
keep up it's great busines and politi-
cal combine"

THE SITUATION.

EDITOR BULLETIN In your issue
of Aug. p appears an extract from
the Hilo Record that all should
read, mark and inwardly digest. A
large number of the residents in the
country districts believe that the
party, whose representatives lately
attempted to overthrow the Govern
ment, has not been squelched al
though, for the time being, by the
prompt action of the military they
are held in check. Many believe
that regularly organized bodies are
ready and waiting for an opportun-
ity to try it again.
1t is no secret that in Kula on
Maui the natives are armed with
rifles, ostensibly for shooting bull
lock, but should occasion offer, for
more intelligent game.
A gentleman thoroughly vcrsed in
Hawaiian manners, customs and lam
guage,in fact one who was born and
brought up with them, told the
writer only few days ago, that
something was wrong at Kula, but
what it was he had been unable to
find out, but it BODIED no good to
the Government, and what pertains
to this district undoubtedly does to
many others. AS the article referr-
ed 10 says, sit is the part of folly
for us to sit idly by when it becomes
US 10 be thoroughly alive to the stu
alton" "We must be prepared for
any emergency when it arrives. We
do not believe that many months
will pass before the necessity for
prompt action will arrive, and
it will be tue part of wise men to be
prepared before it comes" This
appears to be the feeling among a
large number of residents in this
district, but as yet no concerted
action among them has taken place.
Quite a number are hedged around
with the belief that if another up
rising takes place the scene of ac-
ton will be Honolulu, and that the
country will furnish large contin-
gent of fighting men, and are thus
indifferent to the action for self
protection taken by the less sangu-
inc. Others fear that should an
other attempt be made the country,
us well as the capital, will be made
the theatre of operations. This is
what we should be prepared for.
Delay may endanger us all.

IRRIGATION.

The San Francisco Chronicle of
August % devotes more than one
half of its sixteen pages to an ex-
haustive article on irrigation, under
the beading in ornamental design,
"How to Make the Desert Blossom
as the Rose" The treatise is illus
trated, one of the telling pictures
being of grove of date palms
produced in the Mojave desert of
California by means of irrigation.
Systems of irrigation in ancient and
modern times are described, and the
whole article is designed to awaken
enthusiasm for the Federal scheme,
now being prosecuted, for reclaiming
desert lands in the States by irriga-
ton. An estimate of the irrigated
area of the country is given as fol-
lows: Acres
