DIFFERS FROM c. l.. WIGHT.
Kona Coffe Planters Deny This Years
Crop is a Failure.

f. w. Bartels, the Kona coffee grow
er. takes issue with President c. l..
Wight of the Wilder Steamship Com
pany, in his recent interview with The
Star on Kona coffee culture. This
weeks Kona Echo says:
"Soid men like Mr.. Bartels, whose
word and judgment are reliable, say
that Kona is not subject to drought
and that instead of a failure this
year, there is splendid crop. Last
years crop was exceedingly heavy, so
that there may be slightly less this
year. The reports in the newspapers
of the coffee failure this year in KOna
have been caused by the Hawaiian
and Coffee Company's crop not turn
ing out quite so well as it indicated a
few months ago. The manager and
others are studying up the cause OF
this slight shortage of coffee, but it
has not been caused by want of rain"

THEY ARE ALL RIGHT.
The Plantation Managers in Hawaii
are Representative Men.

The plantation managers from all
over the Island of Hawaii who We're
gathered in Hilo to attend the session
of the Tax Appeal Board, We're
bright, active, aggressive lot of men,
says the Hilo Tribune. They were
just such men as one would imagine
were suited to reclaim by force our
mountain island sides and wiring from
them golden harvests of sugar. Men
who were up and eager, to whom de-
feat in one direction meant redoubled
energy in another. Managing modern
sugar plantations nowadays is an eX-
cellent eXemplitication that education
of the highest order is necessary to
meet every contingency that arises.
To farm as dad farmed is not alto
gether safe, for with due reverence
for our dads, it must be admitted they
were a tritle shy on some things. Our
plantation managers We're good to
look at, interesting to listen to; one
felt their quick impulse in contact.

MUST BE KILLED OFF.
People on Hawaii Dislike the Wild
Cattle.

From the Honolulu people who have
recently returned from Hawaii, it is
learned that the number of wild cat-
tie is increasing materially within the
past couple of years. These cattle are
poor and useless for meat. Their
hides sell for eight or nine cents a
pound.
These animals are a menace to the
forests and the people on Hawaii en-
courage their destruction. 1t is under
stood that the representatives to the
next Legislature from Hawaii will
seek to secure the enactment of n
measure authorizing the payment of
a small bounty for the determination
of wild cattle and wild dogs. The
dogs destroy sheep and lambs.

received by the Mauna Loa yesterday.
1t is in reply to some unknown cor
respondent and gives Mr.. Loeben-
STEMS platform for the Hilo cam
paign:
Hilo, Hawaii, August Z, 1897.
Dear Sir: In reply to your letter of
a previous date calling for my posi-
ton on the questions of the lay if
elected as a Representative to the com
ing Legislature, / place before you an
outline of the principles | would en-
deavor to further in that body.
IA constitutional amendment re-
ferring to the eligibility for citizen
ship. This being a government de fac
to, to maintain itself as a government
by popular will, the test of citizenship
should be road and liberal, and there
should be an elimination of those fea-
lures in the present test oath that
make the same practically deterrent
and repugnant to Hawaians and for
eigners alike. We must first indicate
to the American people orr desire for
self government and capacity for the
same, if we would hope for speedy
consummation of annexation princi-
pies.
"A delimitation of the powers of
the Executive and a clear definition Of
the relations that should exist be-
tween the central government and the
outer districts. The anomalous con-.
dition of "Discretion of The EXec,l-
tive" must be viewed by all true low
ers of constitutional liberty as n
menace to the perpetnity If popular
institutions and tending to override
the will of the people as expressed in
the Legislative branch Of the Govern
ment. The acts of the Legislature
must be viewed as mandatory and are
not to be disregardel.
3.-The enactment of such laws as
will still further develop internal re-
soures of the country, and a liberal
construction and application of the
provisions of the Land Act that will
with the least delay and expense If
ford to all desiring to avail themselves
of the same, not only the opportunity
to create homes but to promote the
establishment and maintenance of rev
industries.
A policy in respect to labor nee
essary to the continuance of the pres
ent state of prosperity that will per-
nit the Introduction of such labor as
may be necessary to conserve and fos-
ter our great agricultural industries.
These are some of the acts | pledge
myself to work for in and out of sen
son, and should any other be desired
by the people of this district, it would
afford me pleasure to consider them.
Thanking you for the kindly inter
est taken in nay personal and political
convictions, / beg to submit the above
for your consideration, and sincerely
trust that they will meet with your
full and free appreciation. I am, sir,
Yours very truly.
A. b. LOEBENSTEIN.
I herewith approve of the senti-
ments hereinbefore expressed and en-
dorse the same, and in the event Of
election will pledge to the same my
full and hearty cooperation.

Notes on the Second
Days Sport.

The second day of the race meet of
the Jockey Club-Saturday June 12,-
was successful in the matter of both
the races and the attendance The
races were good contests and showed
a thing or two that made people open
their eyes. The attendance, while, of
course, smaller than upon the day pre-
vious, was very good. All the stands
were comfortably filled, and in the
Jockey Club stand there was, perhaps,
as large a crowd as upon the day pre-
vious. The Hawaiian Band, stationed
just back of the grand stand, did much
to enhance the pleasure of the after
noon. The officers of the day were the
same as those who had charge on the
18th.

NOTES.

1t is rumOred that several members
of the Jockey Club, dissatisfied with
the races on Friday, will withdraw
from the association and organize a
new club with half-mile track, near
er town. Kewalo may be selected.
When Billy Button broke four times
in his race it was the privilege of the
judges to rule him off the track or
have the owners change drivers. I'm
der ordinary circumstances, the horse
would have been ruled off, but owing
to the difficulties experienced on Fri
day and rather than have more dis
satisfaction, the owner, Humberg, was
given his choice and changed the
driver.
1t was rumored at the track that
Antidote's owner is satisfied that the
judges were fair in their decision on
Friday In the race on Saturday, when
the jockey weighed in he was found,
with his saddle, to be several pounds
overweight. At the suggestion of the
judges, another saddle was sent for,
involving a half hours detention, but
the delay helped the horse to win.
In the one-mile bicycle race on Fri
day Sam Johnson was mentioned as
coming in second. This was an error.
Robbie Bond occupied that position,
after a splendid fight for first place
An error also occurred in the report
of the running race for the Irwin cup.
Duke Of NorfaIk was named as being
second horse at the finish. 1t was one
of the prettiest races of the day, Mag
net winning, leading AntidOte by half
head. while Duke of Norfolk was al
most distanced.
