PARTY POLITICS.

The good results Of the late cleo
ton to fill a vacancy i'll the Advis'
ory Council will, we think, be seen
in a cordial union Of both the radi-
cal and conservative elements in
one loyal party which will adopt a
liberal constitution and frame a
national ticket embracing the best
elements in both schools of political
thought.
There is nothing incongruous
in such union OF divergent
policies. Both the radical anc
conservative has necessary pub
lie function in all parties ant
all free countries. The one give,
steam to the public motor; the
other supplies the brake, The
radical provides the ship of State
with sails; the conservative with it.
anchor. Without the cO-operatloi
of both agencies the train and the
vessel are likely to go astray. Tt
eliminate or neglect the proper ust
of either would be Improbable O
disastrous to all concerned
If a fair recognition of the rights
privileges and duties of the radlca
and conservative continues to bt
had in the constitutional and nOmi
mating convention and at the polls
we can see no reason why tn,
party of January 18th should no
continue, without serious divisions
until annexation shall have beef
achieved.

WATER FOR POWER.

1t is undoubtedly true, as friend
of the STAR suggests, that enough
drinking water can be supplied to
the distributing mains by means Of
artesian wells to satisfy the wants
of a city three times the size Of
Honolulu. If drinking water was
the one desideratum, therefore,
there would be no necessity to build
storage reservoirs among the hills.
But the fact that surplus rain, i'm
pounded at a considerable height,
would supply not only potable
water, but manufacturing power,
puts different face on the question
In an isolated place like Hawaii,
where natural fuel is not abundant
and to which coal must be brought
over great and costly distances, a
cheap motive power is often difficult
to obtain, and without it great
variety Of manufacturing industries
cannot be started or kept up. In
these Islands, however, the proX-
unity of mountains to the city, and
the fact that the peaks generate con-
slant rain, which falls into ravines
capable of being damned, supplies
the means of obtaining a surplus
of water by which energy, amount
ing to an enormous total, may be
easily and prohtably developed. a
mountain dam and new pipe system
means that Honolulu could not only
bid defiance to the summer drouth
of the beach, but could offer an in
ducement to a variety Of industrial
enterprises which, when utilized,
would build up this place in wealth,
citizenship and Investigation OF
money making pursuits. All that
coal and electricity now do
to make our wheels go round, and
at great expense, could be done by
a few streams of water, of the
diameter of a lead pencil, operating
through water motors, all at a
much less cost to the customers.
Artesian wells are good enough
to supply the ice-pitcher and bath
tub with, but storage reservoirs
mean much more than that. Here
on Oahu they would stand not
only for an abundance of water for
domestic purposes, but for SPLEEN

tiOnary words.
Being easily exsuscitated, and
an amnicolist fond Of inescating
fish and broggling, with an inc
lectable desire for the ambition, Of
care, took punt and descended
the river in snithy gale. The
water being smooth, felt l could
venture with incolmity, as ! was
familiar with the obtucous river.
Having broggled without result,
l rowed toward an eyot, intending
merely to quiddle, when l sudden
ly saw a hackee. Wishing to
capture him, decided to circumnav-
igate and take him unaware.
Landing, l derned myself where l
could see the hackee deracinating
grass. He discovered Inc and
skugged behind tree, occasional
ly protroding his noll.
Selling a stick l awaited the ca
put. When the neb appeared l
feagued him. The hackee, which
is pedimanous, tried to climb the
bole. He seemed sheepish, and
suspected him Of some michery,
especially as his cheeks seemed
ampullaceous. l caught him by
the tail and he slirled. Though
he was sprack, | held on the red
dour, and tried finally to sowle
him. The hackee looked soyned
and tried to scyle. l belabored
him, and he cleped, making vigor-
Gus oppugnation and evidently
longing for divagation.
Then pirogue approached and
an agricultor landed. This dis
tracted the haCkee and l sowled
him. but dropped him because he
scratched so. vowed to eXungu-
late him when caught.
Borrowing a fazzolet, I tried to
yend it over the hackee's head, as
a means Of occeation. The agri-
cultor aided. He was not .attrac-
dive, seeming crapulous and not
unlike a picaroon. He had a siph-
unculated dinner-pail, which look
ed as if he had been battering it
while plugging. But with a stick
and some string he made gin, and
tried to make the hackee bison.
This caused quinching by the
hackee, who seized the coadjutor's
hallux. Thus exasperated, the
agricultor captured the hackee
without any migniardise; but he
glouted over the bite, and his rage
was not quatied until the hackee
was a Itch. Carrying it to the
punt, l sank into queachy spot,
which delayed me until the gale
obnubilated the sky.
While removing the pelage,
found the llch somewhat old, be-
cause the swinker had feagued the
hackee, and so l yended the Itch
away, went to market, and supped
upon spithcock and hot bisk. -

YET there were years when

whole, would have been loss to the
convention, however many wealthy

Seven Miners VINO wifully Destroyed .
Triple and 0ther Property.
RIDawAY, Pa, Nov. b. The seven
miners charged with conspiracy to burn
and burning the tipple at the Paine Inines
last June during the strike were found
guilty by the Jury yesterday. Ed Fox and
Leo Wurm pleaded guilty to the charge of
placing explosives under building, which
was all that was charged against them.
The other fve-Frank Myers, Ludwig
Rosenbeck, Joseph Kreitle, William Geit-
ner and Wassei Swintner-were found
guilty of all charges of the Indictment,
which accused them of burning and con-
senting to the crime. Frank Myers was
the man who agreed or offered to do the
act when 1t was proposed
At meeting of eighteen miners who
had gone to Paine mine on June 10 TO in
duce the men to quit who were supposed
to be at work, 1t was proposed to kill their
employer, but that was voted down. A
second proposition to burn the tipple was
unanimously carried, and the query as to
who was to do the act was settled by
Myers volunteering to do the deed. The
men then ran a score or more mine cars
into the tipple, and they were burned,
with much other property.

Swindled People Through the Sale of

CHICAGO Nov. 23.-Yesterday it became
known that Holmes was the head of what
purported to be an incorporation called
the A. B. G.. Gopher company, with head
quarters at the Monon building, on Dear
born street. The copying machine which
Holmes sold was not without merit, but
the sale of territory to agents was the
chief source of revenue.
Holmes would advertise throughout the
country and obtain correspondence with
people all over the country. Then the VIC
tim would be persuaded to visit the city,
and would be ushered into an office appar-
entity rushed with business. Finally a
proposition would be made for the disposal
Of come state or county, and a deal con-
Bummated. 1t is said that the state of Ohio
sold for 60, 900 cash, and that an office was
established in Cincinnati.
Both of the Dakotas and a majority Of
the western states were disposed of. A
branch was organized in New York and
Holmes was paid 5000 for the agency in
that city. Some states We're sold as many
