The San Francisco ArgOnadt IS cut
with a powerful article showing that
the sugar trust is breaking up the re-
beIIion in Cuba. The Argonaut claims
that Gomez is no Cuban, but naive
of San Domingo, a soldier of fortune,
whose sword has been for hire by
whomsoever paid him well, and that at
the present ime ne is hired by the sugar
trust. 1t further charges that the same
corporation furnishes bogus informa-
ton to the various press associations,
and lastly that some Of the large dailies
in the cities are subsidized for the same
purpose. The Argonaut may have hit
the nail on the head but then again it
may not It's politics, it must be re-
membered, are Numerically opposed
to those of the trust.

ARTISTIC MIR. billiard.

Another freak has broken loose in the
United States and aspires to make
himself famous by airing his opinions
on Hawaiian affairs. We refer to Mr..
HiIliard, the artist who came to Homo
lulu ostensibIy to paint a picture of the
volcano for J. d. Spreckels. Mr. Hill
lizard was interviewed by a representa-
tive of the Denver News, and as a result
we have the beautiful collection Of art
istic lies given in another column. If
the Denver publication quoted Mr.. Hill
lizard correctly, he started in with a lie
and wound up with fabrications, there
by showing his intense gratitude for the
kindly reception given him by Honolulu
people and the Hawaiian money squan-
dered for his works of art
Mr.. billiard came to Honolulu with
the advance advertising dodger that he
was commissioned to paint picture of
the volcano for J. D. Spreckels. The
dodger worked and Mr.. Hilliard got
The Pacific commercial advertiser. [volume] (Honolulu, Hawaiian Islands) 1885-1921, 1896-05-28

. what he wanted-advertisin When
Rudolph Spreckels came TO town short
" after Mr.. billiards arrival nothing
was heard of the wonderful volcano pic
ture Mr. HilIiard came. sold a few pic
lures, painted a few pictures and then
left the country, but if he painted any
picture for the SpreckeIs' he did his
work in the witching hours of midnight
when no one could see him. Possibly
he was like the little boy in the song,
who didn't saw the wood-because he
! couldn't if he would. Unless Mr. Hill
lard copied one of Howard Hitchcocks
! pictures while going up on the steamer.
we will give the Denver newspaper men
valuable premium if they will locate
the HiIliard volcano picture that is now
the property of the sugar magnate.'''
Then Mr.. Hilliard turned his atten-
ton to politics. What he wants people
10 think he knows has filled column in
a Denver paper. What.he doesn't know
would fill the Denver paper for every
day during the next year. If the artist
left Honolulu for fear of a rebellion. it
was a pending rebellion among the low
ers of art. who had treated him very
courteOusly. If he saw political trouble
pending, he saw more than anyone else
had been able to discover But in The |
face of the statements about the volcano |
picture wa anticipate he could see most |
anything in his minds eye and then |
make himself believe it.
The statement about the Portuguese
dislike for President Dole is lie pure
and simple. Whatever grievance the
Portuguese may have, they respect and
honor the President of the Republic.
The Portuguese have never asked for
higher wages, consequently the Presi-
dent has never been "obliged to grant
a demand. If the Portuguese are as
sisted by the Chinese and japanese, Mr..
billiard is the first to make it known.
Should any one be laboring under such
an hallucination, we would suggest that
they talk five minutes with the first
Portuguese citizen that can be found.
Strawberries, poi and dog constitute
the national diet-so says billiard To
all appearance the strawberries he ate
went to his head billiards pet dog,
which the natives tried to capture, was
never seen in Honolulu. He probably
kept the beast in the same box with the
Volcano picture. 1t is impossible to re
ply to every misstatement by the art
sttc Mr.. billiard, since there is hardly
q line Of the purported interview that
Ices not contain a Misrepresentation;
1ut for the benefit of our Denver friends
t seems proper to state that Artist Hill
lard is seeking in Denver what he
sought in ACCOMPLISHMENTS This
ime at the expense of the Honolulu :
public.

A good example of the high standard
of San Francisco journalism is given in
the reports of DR.. Dille's lecture on the
Islands, as printed respectively by the
Examiner, Call and Bulletin. The Elk
aminer says DR.. Ollie was pleased and
predicted political and financial pros
perity for the Islands. According to the
Call, Dr. Ollie believes revolution is
the next thing on the tapis, and the
Government is resting on the ragged
edge of political discomfort. Again the
Bulletin credits DR.. Ollie with saying
that every important political Office is
held by the son of a missionary. To
find out from the San Francisco papers
what Dr. Ollie really did say is harder
than mastering a Chinese puzzle. A
good motto for a majority of the San
Francisco papers would be, If you
don't see what you want, ask for it,
In the report of DR.. Dille's remarks the
iron hand of the managing editor, who
shapes the policy of the paper, is dis
played with more prominence than DR..
Dille's ideas.

spALDrNG FIGHTING MoNoPoLY

As foreshadOwed in an article which
appeared on Monday, the bill for a cable
has been favorably reported on and in
troduced into the Senate On May 9th
the Senate Committee on Foreign Rela-
tions authorized Senator Frye to report
a bill to facilitate the construction and
maintenance of a submarine Geographic
cable between the United States, the
Hawaiian Islands and Japan. The bill
is practically the one reviewed in these
columns, with only the change that the
subsidy has been raised from $3.50, 900
to 100000 and the guarantee has been
reduced from 100000 to 100000 A
strong effort is being made by the New
Jersey company to get concurrent act
ion in the House before the close Of the
session.
Something Of the inner working OF
cable affairs has come to light which it
is as well that the Hawaiian public
should know. In an article published
on Wednesday morning it was shown
that the essential difference between
and Spalding's plans was

ed Major VIM. Mckinley to ask his po-

was: Give the World my compliments
