them all chance has favored the Re- publicans.
 It is undeniable that the Republican party has been lucky. Months before Harrison turned over the reins of gov ernment to Cleveland in 1893 the handwriting on the wall clearly indi- cated the approaching financial dis turbaRce and commercial paralysis which, whatever its causes, (and they are warmly disputed,) proved to be the most disastrous, widespread and continuous of any panic that preceded it. The conditions which brought it about had grown mp during Harrison's administration, and had the Repub- licans remained in power they would have been powerless to avert it. Cleve- land woefully disappointed his party, of which he represented only a small but powerful minority. Notwithstand- ing his vigorous denunciation of trusts. the bankers and the trusts shaped the policy of his administration, and the same influence Represented by Hanna and Gage) dominate the Mckinley ad- ministration. It can not be justly claimed that there is any material difference in the policies of Cleveland and Mckinley, save on the question of the tariff, and the only immediate ben eficial effect which the new tariff law can possibly have had is the assurance to manufacturers and importers that the question has been settled for a period of at least four years. It is not high or low tariff which injuriously affects business, but the repeated tin. kering with customs rates whenever a change occurs in the political control of the government.
 Many successes has given the Repub- licans confidence. which is as helpful in politics as in the ordinary under takings of life. The Democratic party, on the other hand, embittered by defeat and the treachery of Cleve- land and his gold bug supporters, have become pessimists, and despairing views, no matter how truthful, are not popular. The Democratic party in the last campaign attempted to marshal all the disaffected parties and factions in opposition to the Republicans. There was too much calamity in the platform and in the utterances of the party news papers and public speakers. Tillman, Altgeld and Debbs were like millstone about the Democratic neck, and the benefit expected from the endorsement of Bryan by the Populists was nullifed by the discord in their ranks.
 We are writing from an independent standpoint, having divested our mind as far as possible of any partisan bias. Nor do We overlook the errors of the Republican party, or the evils which inevitably follow in the tram of policy designed to favor special inter ests and widen the gulf between the common people and Q parvenu aristoc- racy. A party controlled by unprin- cipled bosses such as Hanna, Reed, Platt and Quay, who are absolute die tators in their political spheres and bailiwicks, is not the party to invite the confidence and support of the masses. Bnt the Republicans in power, and with the prospect of prosperous times for the whole country during the next few years, are likely to retain control of the government through another presidential term.

-------------------- PROSPERITY AND POLITICS.

There can be no doubt but that busi- ness conditions in the United States have improved materially during the past month. Tho basis for the com mercial expansion now taking place is the generous crops with which this country has been blessed, and tho par tial failure of crops abroad, thereby creating an urgent demand for our sur plusage of breadstuffs at higher prices than have ruled for many years. It is estimated that Europe will have to i'm port 265, 900, 900 bushels of wheat from North America, most of which must come from the United States. Estimates and values will fuctuate with changes reported in the worlds crops, but wheat is not likely to sell below the price now ruling-95 cents for September wheat in Chicago which means substantial profit for the American farmer. As agriculture is the foundation of our commercial life, trade in all it's ramifcations natur- ally feels the vivifying influence of agricultural thrift. This is essentially the explanation of the present commer- cial expansion which we are witnessing, and which should be gratifying to everyone, no matter what his political bias may be.
 The Republican Advance Agent of Prosperity" has had little to do with shaping the course of events. It is the work of Providence, and if the Re publicans want to make their claim stick they must show that they are the sole custodians of righteousness, and that their prayers have been unremit- ting. There is, without doubt, some presumptive evidence in favor of the Republican party. If not the party of the Lord, it has been singularly fortu- nate in maintaining its grip upon the national government. It has organiza- ton, courage and hopefulness to sus- .ain it, and past record of successes to inspire confidence in its supporters. These are important factors in the cohesive strength of party, and with

WHY BUCKEY WAS NOT THERE

The Phoenix Republican touched of a bomb when it asked Mayor O'Neill to explain why he was not present at the Labor Day celebration in Prescott, at which Governor McCord ofiiciated as orator of the day. In the Prescott Courier of Sept 15 he gives his req sons for absenting himself, and if they are not sufficiently full and explicit to satisfy the Republican, that paper is hard to please. Buckey's repl, is a very severe arraignment of the gover- nor for his action in having ratified the prison labor contract. He declares that the so-called celebration of Labor Day was an occasion gotten up for the express purpose of using the day to rehsbilitate Governor McCord in pub lie esteem, and there was no reason why he (AIayor O'NeilD or any other sympathizer with labor should have participated.
 Mr. O'Neill elucidates the bad fea- lures of the prison labor contract, and they appear to be all bad and prejudI- cial to the interest of the territory, ac- cording to his views. The labor of the prisoners is leased for period of ten years at 70 cents day per prisoner, the territory being required to guard, clotho and feed them and transport them to any point designated by the canal com pany. The present per capita cost of keeping prisoners at Yuma is 62 cents, and the expense of maintenance to the territory under the contract is almost certain to exceed the sum which the canal company has agreed to pay--not in cash, but in water rights in a canal which may never be constructed. This is bad enough but not the worst feature of the contract.
 The territory is to receive no cash but must pay out cash to the canal company. On every water right for 80 acres delivered the territory must pay an annual water rental of $2.50 per acre, whether it uses the water or not. It is well in this connection to remember, says Mir. O'Neill, that the highest yearly water rental in Arizona is $1.50 per acre and this in established canals from which the delivery of water is certain.
 The canal company may sub-lease the prisoners. In this right, says Buckley, lies the kernals and the meat, the poodle and the profit. The prison CTS can be sub-leased to the Southern Pacific that pays section hands $1.25 per day. If this were done the profit to the canal company would be 55 cents per day, or for the 150 able bodied men in the prison, $82.50 per day, equivalent to $25, 145 per annum, and for ten years, the life of the con- tract, $257 400.
 We agree with MT. O'Neill that Governor McCord showed far too much haste in ratifying the contract; that he should have respected the interests of the people of Arizona by awaiting the decision of the Supreme court on the legality of the contract. That is the least he could have done in justice to the territory. The charges made against the governor by Mir. O'Neili are cer- tainly grave and demand an answer. and if the governor can not clear him self, he should be asked to resign his office.

KONA NEWS.
Coffee Booming-Road Making to the
Fore-A Prospective Lawyer.

Cut worms are source of worry
to the coffee planters in Kona, and
the last few weeks considerable havoc
has been done to tender vegetation.
But faith in the berry continues, as
witness the following clearings com
menced last week: Arthur Greenwell,
ten acres at Kealakekua; w. w. Bru-
ner, twenty acres mauka of his pres
ent plantations; j. Bettencourt, six
acres at Kiloa, and half dozen Japs
in the vicinity of the foregoing. In
large force clearing seventeen acres,
which he hopes to plant in few
weeks, and at Kainaliu j. Sherwood
is clearing eleven acres of guava
growth and will be able to economi
cally plant the area by burning the
wood into charcoal, which article
seems to sell readily.
Burners stump puller, built by a
local mechanic, works like a charm
"stumping bees" now in vogue.
John Hind is in the lumber trade,
for this week the "Iwa" brought a
cargo of lumber to his new premises
at Napoopoo.
The strip of roadside next the Ho-
lualoa Post Office has been turned in
to pretty bank of flowers and is a
feature well worthy of imitation by
those householders adjacent to the
new main road
The contractor who has secured the
South Kona road contract is Louis
Nasconelles, he being the lowest bid
der in the competition. Like the road
per mile. This man has done good
work c,i sections in North Kona, and
it is hoped that the five miles will be
completed in November equally as
well. 1t is quite patent that the Japs,
who have had sub-contracts, have not
made the best job possible and their
work will not compare in completenc, IS
to that of the Hawaians ana Portr-
guese.
Frank Greenwell has resigned from
the position in the Hawaiian Coffee
& Tea Company. He will continue his
legal studies while Captain of the
North Kona Police and it is predicted
will be the Deputy Sheriff of an al.
iacent district ere long.

PRESIDENT DIAZ.
Tho Noble Sort of Man Mexico Has For
Its Executive.

The Noble Sort of Man Mexico Has For
Its Executive.
AS the military history Of Diaz in many
ways suggests that of Grant-though he
had none of Grants technical preparation,
and Led far smaller armies, and had al
ways to create them himself out of next to
nothing, forging invincible steel from the
peon mud-so does his personal simplicity.
AT the opening OF the lips the resemblance
ceases. But there was the same quietnuss
of taste. No man of Latin blood could
disregard the demands of ceremony in u
ruler No man of any blood could be
more modest in them. When and where
etiquette compels, Diaz is splendid, and
none can better carry off the pomp and
circumstance of state than this assembled
soldier, who would be at home in any
court. But outside the necessities of oCca-
sion he goes us unfrlled as our president,
,rrupuluusly neat and scrupulously simple
IN his dress And while Il tyrant may be
unyain, tyranus do not walk loose among
their seris.
There is deeper test of balance than
dnpretentiousness amid the temptations
of practically supreme power. DiaZ has
remained To this day IA man of the strictest
habits. He has no vices-not even that
sweetest and most human vice which is so
easy to an autocrat. Abstemious, method
ical, tlreless; working with remarkable
dispatch a long day, yet scrupulous that
not even tie nation shall quite rob his
family of him; early to bed and early to
rise; always busy, but never hurried; a
sturdy walker; superb rider of superb
horses; real hunter-as frontiersmen
count hunters, and not by the category Of
titled trigger pullers who butcher tame,
fenced game--the private life of this Curl
GUS man is as wholesome as his admins
tration, and has broadly aided it.--Charles
+. Lummis in Harper's Magazine.
