Some time ago it was in!iniated,
and at that time seemed very
likely, that thePatriarch OF Political

this seems a remote possibility.
There are two reasons against this
one, Col. Watson's opposition TO
stat aid for higher education, in
which Mr. Tillman's toes were step

Political Events of the Past Week Re.
v,ewed-EfFect Of the Prohi

The changes on the political hor'
il on might be well compared to
kaleidoscope pictures. The ever
changing view presented grows
more interesting as the light and
shadows come and 60 and the var
ious elements of the picture con
stantly rearrange themselves In
groups, now beautiful in their sym
metry, now grotesque in their an
gulsrity.
Two weeks ago with a possible
coalescence of prohibition and
local option forces in prospect, II
seemed that the result of the sum-
mer's campaign was settled, now

pride cf power, possibly instigated
by some other impulse known on
" to fanaticism the prohibitlon-
lists have shown. themselves stiff
necked in this matter, and their
chanches of success have OWN
died to a shadow. In the unchaste
but forceful language of Hogan s
alley "they have dropped their

Prohibitionists have always
been regarded by conservative
politicians as impractical dreamerS
but few politicians were prepared
for such an exhibition of a lack OF
insight into practical politics as
has been exhibited within the past
two weeks. Not only have they
refused to augment their strength
by concession to a large faction of
the Democratic party, but the un
reserved opiuioned has been ex-
pressed that the fight should not
he confined within the limits ofthe
Democratic party This is largely
in view of the fact brought to their
notice that the constitution OF the
Democratic party provides that be
fore any candidate shall be On
titled to vote at the primary he
shall have filed his pledge "Ihat
h. is not, nor will he become, the
candidate of any faction either
privately or publicly suggested,
other than the regular Democra-
tic party"
This clause was adopted by the
convention of the Democratic par
ty in 1894, and was intended to
forever prevent factional grabs as
opposed to the institution OF free
vote and fair count.
In spite of all this and the opin
ions of many wise politicians,
there are not a few who believe
that the prohibition vote will be
surprise.
As a matter of fact, a study of
the field shows that the people are
desirous for change. They are
dissatisfied, but their views are
chaotic, and they want a campaign
They want to see the candidates,
and they do not any more politi-
cal hacks. If the election were to
be held without a canvass just
now, in the absence 10 startling
developments, it is the confident
belief of this correspondent that
the people would give Governor

give him another term anyhow,

EWA'S BIG YIELD
Work to June 10 Ahead of

Three Weeks 70 Grind Yet-Some
Figures-SkiIl and Labor-Con-
lecture on 1899 Crop.

Eva plantation is again beating all
previous records. There had been
manufactured this season up to last
Friday night 1885 tons Of sugar. The
output for the entire campaign OF 1897
was 37S tons less. The mill will be
grinding YET this year for from three
weeks 10 a month. Up 10 The 10th Of
this month the campaign had been in
progress for this year twenty-five
days more than the 1897 grinding had
been under way on the corresponding
date. Up to June 10 this year the
mill had produced 3.3IS tons more
sugar than up TO June 10, 1897. For
1898, the cane has been better, the
extraction Of higher percentage. the
mill has done more work and the field
operations or the outside work in the
Class Of cutting and Transporting has
been more effective. Mr.. LOwrie, the
manager, Mr.. Tenney and Mr.. Ather-
ton are all very much pleased with
what has been accomplished so far this
year. The yield for the season will be
more than that every produced by any
plantation in the Islands. The most
conservative estimate is that the total
viii be not less than 1900 tons. It
is likely TO be considerably more. In
a conversation on sugar here in town
a few days ago, plantation was men
toned with the statement that the
extraction was but little more than
half that shown at Eva In other
words, the trash OF the estate men
toned could be brought to Eva and
made TO produce about as much sugar
as the owners had already secured
from It.
Very careful figuring is being done
on the possibilities or probabilities
for 1899. The majority Of the men
who know most OF Eva say that the
1899 yield VIII not be ND TO the produc-
ton Of the present year. The cane is
growing splendidIy now, but a couple
Of months ago it was weak and slow
The cold weather about the time Of

for the setback Of the spring.

closely and whose ideas have been sc
valuable in the management of the
estate, IS at present on Hawaii. He
is inspecting some Of the largest and
most successful plantations on thai
Island and viii give especial attention
TO the fields and mills near Hilo, where
production rivals Eva.
