J. B. Owens of Honolulu was seen

G. B. Owens of Honolulu was seen
at the Templeton yesterday afternoon
and told neat little story concerning
American trade at that place Mr..
Owens is from Chicago but has lived
in the island for the last three years,
and is very familiar with trade cir
cies. He devoted about an hour to
the Corridor man, saying in substance:
American trade in Honolulu is suf-
fering terribly, and all the trouble is
caused by the little brown men from
Japan Their entertainments in trade
pitch of excitement and there is now
a petition before the legislature to do
something to remedy the evil.
Japanese came as laborers ON a
three years contract to work on the
plano ations and after the three years
are up are turned out upon Honolulu
to do the best they can. From 500 to
1000 of these contract laborers come
every month, and there seems to be
no future stopping point. Why, there
are now $4,000 Japs in the country and
still they come in swarming hordes.
They are obtaining a complete mo-
nopoIy of all of the small trades, and
they have very extensive interests in
the wholesale and jobbing line. You
would be simply amazed to note the
expansion of the trade with Japan.
For years past American straw hats
have been sent to Honolulu to be sold
at 81, So and even higher in some cases,
and now the Japs deal out exactly the
same article for 80 and IS cents, and
as for shoes, well, they sell them fU-
Just half as much as we can sell them
for.
Even canned goods of every sort are
coming into direct competition with
the American article on terms in pro-
portion with those l have stated.
Some weeks ago ship load of fur
niture came in and upon examination
it was found to be modelled after the
latest American fashions and was just
as good in every particular, but sold
for a third the money. Naturally 10
cal dealers are beginning to give their
furniture orders to Japan.
They have brought down the price
of clocks from Sc to 81 so, and japanese
agents are taking orders to lay down
fine brick at 81 less per thousand than
the United States can sell them at.
San Francisco is the biggest loser by
this awful competition, but it must be
felt from Maine to the Pacific. The
natives of the island will buy the thing
that is cheap, and that lets San Fran
cisco out Immediately, for it is out of
the question for her to attempt to COM
pete.
Scores of Cinnamon and Japs are
being given licenses to open saloons,
and although they sell the vilest of
liquor, it supplants American wine,
and this knocks another branch of
trade in the head.
1T is a most unfortunate state of
affairs and American traders and
merchants should be brisk in taking
steps to better the conditions.

CAMPBELL'S ANATHEMA

Stranger things have happened than
that the Chicago convention should turn
to Ohio for its presidential candidate
and nominate Ex-Governor James T.,
Campbell. Mr Campbell has ardent ad-
mirers all over the country, and has
powerful hackers both in New York ana
Chicago. He will have united and
earnest delegation of Buckeyes pressing
his claims, and is a stout partisan, pre-
pared to stand with both feet upon the
platform framed by his party at Chi
cago, as a soldier obeys the commands
of his superior officer
In a recent interview he is accredited
with the following anathema against
boilers:

LAST DRINK OF A GIANT
Il Was Only Q Barrel Of Ale but II Killed
Him


The largest and smallest skeletons
of humans ever preserved are kept in the
museum of the Royal College of Surgeons
in Lincoln's Inn Fields, London. One
is eight feet four inches in height. The
other is less than two feet. Charles
Byrne, the famous Irish giant. who was
more generally known as O'Brien. died
In 1888, when he was % years old. His
capacity for liquor was in keeping with
his huge physical proportions. So keen
was his anguish over losing all his pro-
perty to-wit: $500 note, that he drank
a cask of ale in one day. The day fol-
lowing he was dead. Byrne had great
dread of becoming a dissecting room
subject. He made a bargain with a
fisherman before he died to take his body
into the channel and throw it overheard.
Hunter, the English surgeon, learned
of this arrangement, and by paying the
fishermen $500 he prevailed upon them
to carry out their bargain to the letter,
but to attach rope to the body and
drag it up again after it had been i'm
mersed. The fishermen served two mas
terS and Hunter got the body.
The tiny skeleton is that of Caroline
Crachami, the Sicilian dwarf, who was
exhibited in Europe in the early part of
the century. The child did not grow af
ter birth. and before she reached her
teens she died. Her body it is said, was
sold to British surgeon by her parents.
Beside the giants frame stands one of
the boots he wore when he died. The
skeleton of the dwarf can be slipped into
it as easily as pipe stem.

ZinRari Club

The first social meeting of the Zingari
club was held last night in the parlors
of the Hollenbeck hotel. The attend
ance was unusually large. and the COM
blnation OF an interesting musical and
literary program in conjunction with
social converse made the evening one of
greatest pleasure. Prof. Willhartiz hid
the Identity of each member by trans
lating their names into Hungarian, by
which they will be known in the club
Theo. Van Dyke followed with a short
paper entitled, My Experience as a Poet
One of the features of the evening was
the Armor song from Robin Hood, sung
by Mr.. Edison, who for some time stud
led under the same instructor with
Cowles of the Bostonians. Mrs. Alice
Rollins Crane gave some thrilling ex-
periences of her life with the Apache
Indians. She was the fist white woman
who ever penetrated the Apache coun-
try, and it was by the greatest strategy
that she escaped being harmed, often
assuming insanity as a safeguard, it
being superstition of the Indians to
leave unmoleSted all so afflicted Mr.
Chapin spoke briefly on Bohemian club
life of Eastern cities. the great lack of
II mere and the necessity of the elements
in Los Angeles. Mr.. Burbank confined
his remarks to the Zingari club

his summer vacation. The church was
beautifully decorated for the occasion
The evening S entertainment began with
q vocal solo by Miss Gertrude Keller,
which was charmingly rendered. A So
prano solo by Miss lone Parsons was
well received. The next number was a
reading by Miss Maud Muller Newell,

a most pleasing manner and was several
times recalled for encoreS. One of the
most enjoyable features of the evening
was a sacred solo by Mrs. Orr Haralson.
Mrs. j. G.. Scarborough also contributed
solo of the same character which was
much appreciated by all. Then followed
lively old-time dialogue by the follow
ing young ladies': Misses Jessie Blake,

Justice in the IranSYaal

1t is hardly possible for people in Eng
land to realize the sense of uncertainty and
insecurity which the policy of the Boer
government towards the courts of justice
las engendered. 1t is not five months since
the celebrated April case, in which the
chief justice fined an official named Prins-
loo for grossly maltreating a native named
April. and the president. addressing pub
lie meeting stated openly and deliberately
that he considered the decision of the court
wrong one. and the government had
therefore decided to pay Prinsloo's fine.
The infamous Rachman case is also
fresh in the memory of all. An educated
British Indian named Rachman was seized
while following his strayed horse and
charged by one Jan Meyer with tresspass,
and sentenced by Meyers brother George,
a field cornet, or rural justice of the peace
to be flogged. Rachman offered money and
his horse as security to be allowed to ap-
peal to the courts, but this was refused,
and he was most brutaly flogged. In an
action in the circuit court Rachman OBJ.
tained judgment. but the government paid
al the expenses and fines. and allowed
Meyer to go scot free. This Jan Meyer Is
the member of the volksraad who got up
and presented the petition of the burghers
protesting aginst granting bail to the re-

The physical discomfort being en-
dured by the men who attend conven-
tions in this sunshiny month of June is
enough to precipitate movement in
favor of a change of season for conven
tion meetings. 1t really seems idiotic
to keep right on holding such gatherings
under such uncomfortable conditions.

is so intimately related to the country's
welfare that it should he done only un-

KILL OFF THE YELLOW DOG

This is a presidential year and conse-
ouently in local politics throughout the
country it is yellow dog" year in one
or the other of the great political par
ties Wherever a national ticket seems
to be strong. men with little character
and no more fitness for the positions they
seek, will endeavor to foist themselves
on the local ticket of the same complex
ion trusting in the partisan spirit arous-
ed by the discussion Of national con-
ditions and policies. to carry them safe
ly through the coveted Jobs.
1t is about time the American people
eliminated the yellow dog" opportun-
ity; time they realized the important
truth that presidential and congression-
al candidates. have nothing in common
with local candidates., that the partisan
alignments which are caused by differ
ences of opinion regarding principles
and policies of national application
ought not to be carried into the field of
local politics The Republican and DEM
ocratic parties stand as the opponents
of views regarding matters that are to
be debated and determined in the field
of federal and not local action, and 1t is
absolute absurdity to base support of a
candidate for local office on the parti-
sanship that is evidenced by the opin-
ions he entertains of the tariff, finance.
and the foreign policy of the United
States. Local governments deal with
a different class of questions from those
which are in the province of the federal
power, and the attempt to make men
who believe alike on the one harmonize
regarding the other is as nonsensical as
would be a scheme to obtain an identity
of political feeling in a strictly religious
organization. The opinions man holds
regarding methods of federal taxation,
the monetary standard or the Monroe
doctrine cannot in the slightest degree
determine his fitness as county, or for
that matter, even as a state officer.
The Herald hopes that in the coming
elections for officials for this city and
county the voters will divorce county
and municipal affairs from ma
tional affairs, and that they will
not vote for men because the latter are
Republicans or Democrats, but only be-
cause they are qualified to fill the offices
for which they are candidates. This is
The Herald's position, and it is one In
harmony with the progressive thought
