A STRANGE PICTURE oF PERSIA.


the Lana OF tine shahs
An article published in The Nouvclle Re.
vue by Achmed Bey gives an unattractive
picture Of the conditions extant in modern
Persia. 1t is, perhaps, well for Montes-
quieu, the brilliant author Of "Lettres Per
sanes" that be is no longer among the liv-
ing The story told by the hey would be
painful reading to the Frenchman, who
pictured the land of the shah as a Utopia
of freedom and happiness. Achmed makes
it land OF slavery, despotism and bri-
berry.
"All the ills suffered by Persia" says the
writer, "its division. its degradation by
foreign powers, the destruction of its com.
merce, Of its industry and its art, have
been caused by the neglect and evils of its
government. The hakims of the provinces
are usually members Of the ruling family;
they have nothing to do and have no rela-
lions with the people. The real governors,
or statthaters, the pishkars, are all in all
tax collectors, judges and executive officers.
Hakims and pishkars purchase their offices.
They turn with well filled purses to the
heavenly court of the shah, who protects
the fishes in the water and the stars of heav.

halter But outside of the shah there are
also other important persOnages i'll Tehe
ran-eunuchs and mnisters-who demand
their share. The statthalters receive nc
salaries, and, despite this, are obliged to
make yearly presents to the ruler aud min
listers Whopays for them it is easy to sur
mise. If no other way will do, the houses,
property and clothing of the subjects are
sold.

Higher Prices for Hides.

n July, 1898, owing to the f.
IL nancial depression, in the
United States, or other causes,
hides declined in price to the
lowest point ever known. Hides
that in May brought 5 cents per
pound, in July brought only 3
cents. But prices had been
steadily declining for two years,
now a change is coming. In
July last prices again started up,
and in the small space of two
months jump from 81 to "
has taken place in San Francis
co markets. These prices are
for the average Hawaiian hide.
This will be cheering news to
the Island butcher, as for the
past year it has hardly paid him
to salt and ship his hides.
All who have hides to sell
will please remember we are
paying the highest prices for
green sailed hides.

WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 3, 1884
IMPORTANCE or PRIMARIES.

The duties Of citizenship are tor
the first time devolviug upon the
supporters of the Republic. With
the establishment Of the Republic
citizenship took ON new responsi-
bilities. which are now called into
play for the first time The rapid
change in politics here, which, in
reality, represents a new step IN
the political evolution Of the nation,
no longer permits Of the citizen,
who really has Hawaiian interests
at heart, retaining from an active
part in politics.
The first election under the Re
public is at hand and it becomes
the duty Of each and every citizen,
qualified to exercise his franchise
and cast his vote at the coming
election, to participate in politics.
Preceding the regular election are
the primaries, which, if anything,
are more important than the cleo
ton itself. In the conclusions
reached in the primaries every
qualified citizen becomes personally
responsible for the performance or
neglect of his political duty.
The plan and policy Of the Amer
lean Union Party will be decided
upon and fully set forth as a result
Of the primaries, and those partici-
pating therein will be responsible
therefor. In fact, the supporters
of the American Union Party and
the Republic will be responsible
for the acts ami Judgment Of MI
uority of that party if the majority
fails to turn out at the primaries.
This is politics and il is just. In
other words, the campaign for the
coming election will be organized
upon the judgment of those who
take the pains to be present at the
primaries to be held tomorrow
evening in Honolulu, which will
be subject only to changes or
amendments returned by similar
elections in other districts to take
place on the 9th instant
Any changes, however, taking
place after the election tomorrow
night will be secondary in char
acter, as both general principles
and delegates from Honolulu will
be determined at the time mention
ed. The Importance, therefore, of
each and every supporter Of the Re
public taking an active part in the
forthcoming primaries will be fully
apparent to those Convcrsant with
American politics which is, under
present conditions, but another
name for the system which has
been introduced here with the es-
adjustment Of the Republic.
Personal and political influence
will hereafter count in Hawaiian
politics as never before, and the
call to primaries means more than
it says and all that it suggests. II
individuals or political cliques are
defeated at the primaries let them
not hereafter raise a voice in pro
test Under the circumstances il
would not be just, and under oul
new conditions it would certainly
not be good politics.
