1t Is happy thing that there are
no mining stocks here for Exchange
listing and that the Association viii
probably resent any proposal to handle
such wild cat paper.
Some people seem to think change Of
sovereignty means revolution. with
bells and earthquakes. Hysteria in
Governmental AFFAIRS has had too many
innings here already.

| The local partisan political move
ment seems to remain a hedging. The
ideal organization here just now would
be a big, honest, Good Government
Club or League. With anything else
1t would be difficult to escape bossism.
Our own Bilmartin, the wheel race
"plugger." ID described az having been
the hero OF the great L. A. w. meeting
at indianapolis. In several spills he
was seriously cut up and Jared, but
still came out for the word and rode
gamely.
Dispatches aver that England has
bought up no less than 10000 tons of
coal from Virginia company and win
take much more, all to be carried to
various stations in British hulks. One
vessel, the Indra, took a cargo Of $3.50
tons to Singapore.
1t Is believed that Col. Barber. as
commandant OF the United States gar
rison here, may be depended upon to
cooperate most heartily and earnestly
| with the civil authorities in the sup
preston OF any signs Of lawlessness
on the part Of enlisted men.
1t Is wondered now II all the inter-
views and letters sent from here by
the San Francisco Examiners special
commissioners lately were bogus, the
same as the matter printed with the
likeness and signature Of British Act
ing Commissioner and Consul General
Kenny.
III the Government at Washington,
on the very best recommendation OBJ
tainable, can devise better systems for
the direction and maintainance Of san
itary or health protection than Hawaii
already has, 1t will do something most
remarkable. The present administra-
ton In this department is highly sat
isfactory and effective.

In a few days there will be official
Exchange quotations on stocks. In the
meantime 1t is hoped pardon will be
extended to the culprit in hiding re-
sponsible for wrong figure published.
1t Is funny, though, to learn that to
correct the very apparent error it was
necessary to make certified statements
In writing and resort to affidavits.

Natives and Chinese. re future con-
troll in these Islands, are getting to-
gether" with celebrity creditable to
the intelligence and alertness of both
races. The native Hawaiians have had
considerable superficial political train
ing. The Chinese have slowly absorbed
the results Of experience and fruits of
observation and calculate to a nicely.
We'll DONE" with sincere best
wishes. may be said to the men who,
as Company e and F members have
practically been the Hawaiian Govern
ment garrison military force for five
years and a half. Individually the
men are far above the average and as
soldiers they have received from time
to time the highest commentator OF
capable critics.
According to the San Francisco pa
pers the First California did about all
the land work at Manila. They did
their share bravely, OF course, but
among the other commands mentioned
as being In action are the Montana,
Colorado, Nebraska and Pennsylvania
Volunteers. the Utah Artillery, the As
tor Battery and the Twenty third,
and other regulars.
In the constant movement OF com
large bodies of troops here
now we have the genuine Tramp.
Tramp, It'd Boys are Marching" The
tread Is rythmical and the men are
fine looking lot of fellows. Just at
dusk the tin cup sounding against the
bayonet scabbards suggests the music
OF the distant cowbell, dear to every
person from down on the farm.
The N. G. II. boys who have Just re-
tired from active service say they were
willing to try lodging bullets at any
time, but never supposed that they
would have the pleasure of lodging
bouquets. The plan to give each mem

the substantial ground OF local busi-
ness precedent has met with the favor
of number Of officials and many cit
Zens.
The Commission which Is to recon-
mend legislation for the control and
government OF the Hawaiian Islands as
erritOry OF the United States invites
advice. The stay OF the Commission

of dissatisfaction and re-
