NOT RIPE FOR STATEHOOD
COL ]. b. Soper of Honolulu Talks of the
Hawaiian Islands.
Intelligent Residents Would Prefer
Government Similar to That
of the District.

From the New York Herald Today
Colonel j. H. Soper of Honolulu, who was
commander-n-chief Of the revolutionary
forces when the Hawaiian monarchy waa
overturned in 1873, and who since then has
been adjutant general and chief of tha
presidents staff in the Hawaiian republic
arrived in New York yesterday from san
Francisco. He is staying at the Windsor
Hotel
Colonel Soper left Honolulu on August L.
four days after the raising of the American
flag over the island. He is here on a pleas
ure trip. He describes the scene at the
flag raising as one Of great enthusiasm, and
declares that the white population generally
is delighted because of the annexation of
the island to the United States.
'Of course" he said. there are some
malcontents. A few of the white resi-
dents, among whom 1 understand is Cap
tain John Ross, take the position that while
they have no objection TO annexation per
Sc. they object to the way it was accom-
plished.
Excessive Armament.
They declare that fl is merely the cul-
miration of schemes which were begun in
the orga nization of the committee OF safety
and in the revolution. The great majority.
however, are pleased. and when you reflect
that out of total population OF about
1900 able-bodied white males in Honolulu
two-thirds were in the military service, you
can readily see that every one breathes a
sigh of relief now that the necessity for
this excessive military service has passed.
Among the natives the sentiment is gem
orally against annexation. They are chief
ly mCnarchists, and now that annexation
has been accomplished, they fear that they
will be driven into the mountains or placed
on reservations like the American Indian,
This fear is entirely groundless Tor the
Hawaiian native is immeasurably superior
TO the Indian. both in intelligence and edu-
cation. Natives move in the best society
in Honolulu and are fully the equals Of the
whites In my opinion they Will be in
similar position to that of the Spaniards in
California and New Mexico when they be-
came part of the United States"
In reference to the form of government
desired by the white residents of Hawaii,
Colonel Soper said:
Not Ready for Statehood.
1--WE would prefer a government similar
to that of the District of Columbia, under
which ii would not be necessary for bust
ness men to give any attention to politics.
Next to that we wanted the territorial
form, which, i understand. is to be estah-
listed. Hawaii is not prepared for state
hood. Her population is too small and
even if it were large enough the expert
ment would be dangerous. 1t would mean
native control, the natives Of course
outnumber the white many times.
Colonel Soper is in some doubt as TO his
present military status. When he left Ha-
wall he was commandments OF the Ma
tional Guard and was granted a three
months leave of absence, but since then
General Merriam has been directed to or
ganize a Hawaiian battalion, which VIII
may not clash with the National Guard or
ganization.

Special Dispatch to The Evening Star.
COLUMBUS, Ohio, September 17.-BOth
the republicans and the democrats have
opened their state headquarters here, and
he Ohio state campaign may be said TO have
begun. The formal opening of the cam
paign-by which is meant the beginning of
the work upon the stump'-will not occur
until next month
The republicans have set their opening
for October .. The democrats have not
fixed theirs yet.
a remarkable feature in the political sit
uation at this early stage of the campaign
is the confidence expressed on both sides.
II is genuine. too. The average republican
expects to see his party roll its plurality
well up toward the hundred thousand
mark
The democrats believe the chance of a
decade is open TO them now to secure the
control of at least part of the state gov
eminent. Not a single office is now held
by them. That their confidence is genuine
and not feigned is sufficiently evidenced by
the unusually sharp contests for nominal
ton upon the state ticket.
No Dubious Candidates.
The result will depend little upon the
candidates 1t seems to be admitted tina,
way fit for the offices for which they are
candidates.
The republicans expect to realize mate
rally in the elections from the glory OF
the result of the war with Spain.
The democrats are apparently preparing
TO make campaign material out of the al
legged mismana cement OF the war. Both
parties are handicapped with factioral
quarrels, which are very much alike. but
that In the republican party promises to
be the more serious. In the democratic
state convention the contest of the DoWi-
ing and anti-Dowling factions for suprem.
aCy resulted in a compromise. The repub-
ucan state ticket was nominated by a con.
vention thoroughly controlled by the Han.
ma republicans. 1t snubbed Governor Bush.

Special Dispatch to The Evening Star.
CUMBERLAND, Nd, September 1.-THE
republican and democratic state committees
in West Virginia have arranged for a series
of joint discussions between Gov Geo Wes-
ley Atkinson and Gen. C. c. Watts, whom
Atkinson defeated for the governorship.
The republican committee issued the chal-
Ienge. The affair is looked upon as a
scheme to put the two disDutants forward
for the United States senatorship and give
them prestige before the Legislature. 1t is
regarded something new in politics for
one committee to challenge another and
name the disputants, neither of whom is a
candidate for office.

y question Of jurisdiction is raised
in Greenwood County, we note from
the Index. y man was snot in Luurcns
and wcnt over to Greenwood where he
afterwards died from The effects of tic
wound received in laurrns. Now the
question is raised whether the man
who did TIC shooting shou'd be tried in
Laurcns or Greenwood. 1t may be Il
new question, but it seems to us that
the man should he tried in the county
where the shooting was done. The
crime wHs committed when and where
the shooting was done.
Hnt suppose the man who did the
shooting had been in one county and
the man he shot had been across the

The Grccnvilic News has suggested
the election Of two emergency Judges
who could he called to any county in
the State when the iails were tiled
and could not be relieved by the rcgu-
lar courts or when the civil doclkcts
were crowded and needed the business
disposed Of The suggestion is good
one. Or if that is not douc the Lcgis-
laturc should give MS two more circuits.
New counties increase business, and if
even the business were no more when
courts have to be held in these counties
1T takes extra time, and the dockcts all
remain crowded. Cases should be srt-
tlc'! or stricken from The docket.

An amendment was passed by the
last Legislature to the county govern
ment law providing for the appoint
mcnt OF TWO commissioners from each
county instead OF the large boards as
under the present law. Gov. Ellcrbc
did not sign the bill and therefore it
did not become law, neither did he veto
1t. II he does not veto it it will be-
come law without his signature at the
opening of the next Legislature. We
understand that he favors the bill and
IT. will therefore become law but for
good reasons held it up for one year to
keep it from going into effect until the
first of next year.
1t Is good amendment. The board
as at present constituted is too large
and 10y being so large makes it cxpcn-
sive TO hold meetings. The two ap-
pointments to be made are important
positions and good men should bo Sc
lected on account Of their business
qualifications and not for political
reasons. We say this much in gen
eral way. without the knowledge of
who are applying for the two places.

cores. Mr.. Dicks violin playing was
indeed superb. His two best numbers
we're "Ballade and Polonaise," and
iFsust Fantasia" and each served to
bring out some distinguishing achieve
ment of the wonderful virtuoso. His
tones are broad, noble and full of vigor
and at the same time he has delicacy
of touch that is pleasing. Mr.. Dick
won the sincere approval of the people,
not alone for his magnificent perform
ance but for his unassuming appear
ance on the stage. He was assisted by
Miss Bratnober, the soprano, whose
sweet voice charmed every body by its
purity and resonance, and Miss Lay

beyond criticism; that was ably dem

PIANIST was even more wonderful. She
feels with the one she is accompanying
and her sympathy makes itselifelt even
in her audience. Both ladies merited
the encores they received and they re-

the most critical audience and the
company maintained all that had been
said in advance OF their coming.
