The publication Of the Luning
letter by the Advertiser has caused,
considerable comment on the part
OF parties engaged in coffee raising.
While, not wishing to comment
upon the letter, the thought arises,

PORTUGUESE uEATIMENTs.

An important meeting was held
last evening at the Lusitaua Hall
by large number of Portuguese.
The present Government was con-
demned by all the speakers of the
evening, and the sentiments OF the
Portuguese colony towards the Dole
republic were expressed in emphatic
language. The Portuguese are
favorable 10 the annexation of Ha-
waii, If any guarantee is offered, that
Hawaii would become State and
her citizens receive the same poll.
tical rights as enjoyed by the citi-
zens of other States. Our Portu-
guess friends should remember that
the constitution OF the United States
is one thing, and the laws of the in
dividual States quite another. I'm
der the constitution all American
citizens have equal rights irrespec-
tive OF color and religion. Each
State, however, passes its own laws,
as to the qualifications Of voters,
and the Hawaiiaus and Portuguese
can rest assured that there is no in
tention on the part of the annex
ationists to frame a State constitu-
tion for Hawaii which would grant
a general franchise to the Catholic
Portuguese or to the dark skinned
Hawaiians. If Mr.. Dole and his
associates even secured states rights
for Hawaii, they would take good
care, that high property qualifica-
tion would be necessary for any one
desiring to become a voter. They
will not be able to bar the Hawai-
ians or the Portuguese on account
of color or religion from exercising
the right of voting, but they can
easily deprive the majority of the
two classes named of the franchise,
by adopting a constitution, which
will be in the interest Of the rich
and privileged classes only. The
people of Hawaii can rest assured,
that the Dole faction has no desire
or intention of seeing Hawaii ad-
mitted to the Union as State or
Territory. Our republican" rulers
have repeatedly stated, that the
form Of government most suitable
for the islands under our peculiar"
circumstances, would be something
similar to the District of Columbia,
the Territory of Alaska or con-
glomeration OF both. The Portu-
guese are too wary to be caught
mapping again by their missionary
friends" and as one of their speakers
said last night, if the Dole admin
istration was sincere in securing the
full rights OF American citizens to
the people now living here it would
never have sanctioned the Treaty OF
Annexation, which it now asks the
u. s. Senate to ratify.

TOPICS Of The DAY,

SO far as the color-line is con-
cerned, there are persons in this city
to-day who have escorted prominent
Hawaiians into very highly respect
able places of refrcshment, and have
had it intimated to them delicately
but forcibly,that they must withdraw
their friends as "colored gentlemen"
could not be served, The explana-
tion that they were Hawaiian gentle
men of influence and position and
not colored was met with "they are
dark skinned and regarded by us as
colored, Our friends do not like us
to have them around"

AERMOTOR STOCK TANKS.

This desiderata are some
thing novel and just imported
by us, and we have already
sent q dozen of them to
Honolulu and Kahuku
Ranches. These tanks never
leak, and there are no mud
holes around them. They
ship nested, and are just as
sure to drive the wooden tank
out of existence as the Aer-
motor drove out the wooden
windmill. There are many rea-
son why this galvanized Tank
is superior. 1t is light, ships
nested, is easy to handle, re-
quires no setting up, never
leaks and does not dry and
fall down if all the water gets
out of it; but, of course,
where the Aermotor is used,
this need never happen, as it
runs with so little wind that
a dry tank is scarcely known.

The Minister of Finance has pub
lished the monthly financial state
ment Of the Hawaiian Treasury, for
September, and the taxpayers have
again been furnished with much
food for thought. The net loan in
debtedness amouts to $4,Al,217.41
at the end OF September, which is
an increase during the present year
of S409, ,410 II, and proves that the
borrowing capacity OF the govern
ment is iu good condition. Where
the money goes to is difficult to ex-
plain. AS a matter of fact the
Treasury explains nothing, The
taxpayers will be pleased to know
that during September Mr., Damon
spent over $4,000 under the mystic
rious item Of miscellaneous" This
is an increase Of more than $4,000
over the amount spent during the
month of August this year There
are nearly five months more before
the Legislature meets, and the tax
payers be in position to demand
an explanation in regard to these
miscellaneous expenditures, which
they now are unable to obtain. By
the way what will the net loan in
debtedness be then at the present
rate of increase?

tell; on trial. An amusing in
cident occurred this afternoon
during the trial of this case.
Attorneys for the conflicting m
terests became involved in a
hot debate which promised TO
provoke the court To declare
them in contempt and assess n
fine, so one Of the contestants
asked that they both be ex-
cused TO give them an opportu-
nitv to settle their little differ
ence. This the obliging court
promptly granted, and the war
ring disciples of Blackstone re-
paired to the street. where they
patched up a sort of truce; af-
ter which they proceeded with
the trial of the case at bar. The
truce was either a flimsily con-
structed thing or was signed in
bad faith. because it didn't
stick" Within FIVE minutes
the lawyers were in a bigger
stew than ever, and the first
thing done was the giving the
lie by one Of the disputants.
Just here the court took a hand
and fined the man with the
temper - on a charge of con
tempt. This had the effect of
oil on troubled water, and when
the ARDMoREITE pilgrim reach
ed the temple Of justice all was
as calm as a May morning.

the following:
Among other matters dis
turbing the quiet of our burg
was the appearance over Pauls
Valley of the despised airship
last night. The thing was seen
by several generally reliable
men. who are firmly convinced
that there Is something more
than mere Imagination in this
aerial monster. Some Of those
who saw it say it resembled an
ordinary box-car. others say it
had the appearance of an oil
tank such as is seen on fiat
ears, while others say it ap-
peared TO be suspended from a
balloon. 1t passed in a north

SANTA FE BOYCOTT.
Cattle Trains From rexaA Bound for
Pastures Asrth Now 80 over

So many cattle trains have
been running through hero from
Texas points lately th.t lull
in that traffic attracted the at
tention OF the reporter. OF
course everybody knows how
genial and free-hearted railroad
men are in the matter of i'm
parting information about the
company's affairs. The scribe
set about an investigation, not
from the railroad people. but
from a prominent stockman,
and he very frankly stated that
the Texas cattlemen had boy
cotted the Santa Fe people for
the simple reason that their
stock trains are too slow. He
said the superintendent had is
sued instructions that no cattle
train should run faster than
twenty-four miles an hour, and
this did not suit the stock men,
for, owing to the raw condition
of the cattle when shipped, it
was necessary that a speedy
run to grass be made; other
wise, heavy losses were inevita-
BILE.
He also said that Texas cat
tie are now being shipped over
the Rock Island and Missouri,
Kansas and Texas roads on
trains running thirty-four miles
an hour, which in a run of ten
hours amounted to 100 miles
gain.
This, he said, was the sole
cause of the sudden dropping
off of traffic on the Santa Fe
route, and, said he, while |
believe that the superintendent
understands his business. /
think he is away off as re-
CARDS this cattle move"
