LsIand's Game of Persecution.


Cy Leland isn't getting much salts
faction, even from newspapers that are
friendly to him, in his prosecution of
Editors Frank Elliott and Pool Grin
stead. The conduct of his judge, W. L
Stuart, is generally condemned. Even
so rabid a republican sheet as the
LeavenwoFth Times, after reviewing
the evidence in the Grinstead case, says:
Judge Stuart Of The DOniphan county court
laid himself open to criticism By his attitude in
the libel cases against Pool Grinstsad Of the
Wethena Star. That editor is now In Jail con
victed in three suits on seven counts, with two
other cases against him not yet tried, without
having bad fair opportunity to be tried in court
A partisan squabble is at the bottom Of these
suits Pool Grinstead is In jail because he is a
poor man and unable to secure bond. . Now
Il VIII seem to most fair-minded people that the
judge took advantage Of the defendant, Grin
stead, who had no intention OF being absent,
and whose presence was assured within 40 min
utes- Instead Of giving the accused the benefit
OF little time, when 50 good a reason was fur
nished for it. the judge took the extreme course
of instantly FORGETTING has bonds. A case like
this Is the strongest Of arguments against an
elective judiciary When partisan politics in
Vades the bench it is bound 10 work injustice.
and Il is pretty sure to ruin the reputation Of
the judge and do his party iErsparabls injury.

ENGLISH AND GERMAN COLONIES.

Mr.. K. T. Stoepel, a German and a
special student of political science, in
reviewing the colonizing schemes of
his cOuntrymen in the Orient, says:
The German race differs from our
AnglO-Saxon cousins in that, with the
English, business and patriotism go
hand in hand, while with us business
comes before patriotism" He believes
that the Germans look to profit for
the individual and do not care to waste
their time in the philanthropic work
of building UP colonies for the benefit
Of the nation, or for the benefit of
other nations. He forgets, it seems,
that the colonial policy of Great Brit
ain is founded on a deep foundation
of the broken and we'll packed stones
of plumbers. If she has learned to
build up a colonial empire wisely, she
has paid enormous sums for the in
Struction.

THE PASSING HOUR.

| When Gen. Grant was making his
| tour OF the world he was entertained
| in one of the Japanese cities by E. V.
House, who had been an editorial
writer on the New York Tribune. The
late John Russell Young was with the
Silent Man and Prof Scott, now of the
Honolulu High School, was one of the
diners. At the cigars stories were told.
The General was interested, but it
seemed impossible to amuse him.
Finally he was pressed for a narrative
and was bantered for something COM
ical. He said he knew but one funny
story and he was not quite certain of
the quality. The General went on to
tell that at one time during the war
he was in a rather barren southern
district where the rain was cOntinu-
Gus. The mud was a couple of feet
deep everywhere for miles and miles.
The weather condition was worse than
billiards. and earthquakes mixed. 1t
made men heartlessly i'll and abso-
lutely nothing could be done. The
General halted up a big Missourian at
dawn one morning The soldier had a
rueful face and a ragged uniform,
frayed and faded The man looked
cold and hungry and disconsolate. He
received a kindly inquiry from the
great captain and as had been anti
cipated unbosomed himself. Said he:
Il understand the United States is go
ing to give every soldier 160 acres Of
land in the south after the war is over.
the thing ended. I'll keep my soldier
contract, by I'm blessed if I wont torn
around square and fight the Govern
ment all myself before I'll let it make
me take 100 acres of this land" The
man meant it, for he had about 160
pounds of the soil fastened to his top
boots and was thoroughly discouraged
when it came to looking to the future.
The rule in the United States Navy
now is to enlist at least eighty per
cent. of citizens of the country A not
very close course Is held to the rule,

TOBACCO INTERESTS.

The entire tobacco interests of the
Mainland are aroused at the prospect
of cheap tobacco from Cuba and the
Philippines. The New England tobac-
co growers declare that the annex
alton of two of the largest leaf and
cigar producing islands and groups of
islands in the world means the swift
and utter destruction of the leaf and
cigar interests of this country ut
means the impoverishment of the
most prosperous agricultural peoples
in New England" So declares the
president of the growers association.
On the other hand, the manufacture
ers are demanding an outlet for their
goods. Control of the new possessions
means a monopoly for American
trade. The manufacturers believe
that the tobacco growers should be
The Pacific commercial advertiser. [volume] (Honolulu, Hawaiian Islands) 1885-1921, 1899-01-26

willing to suffer some impoverish-
ment in the interests OF expansion.
The tobacco growers, on the other
hand, do not wish TO be clothed in
rags while they are carrying the flag,
in the interests of Imperialism. But
the tobacco interest will not be de-
stroyed by giving Cuba and the Phil
ippines better government. And even
If there is a good deal of free trade
in the expansion policy, it may do
more good than harm.

Heretofore, Congress has found lit
tie difficulty in dealing with the in
habitants of the territories, because
they have been inconsiderable, and
easily assimilated. The emigration of
new settlers has quickly determined
the political status of the larger part
Of such territories. But the case of
people living beyond the seas, in
Cuba, the Philippines, and even Ha-
wall, raises new questions, and some
serious ones.
These are especially important when
it is proposed, on behalf of the inha-
bitants of the Mainland, TO discrimin-
ate against industries, by subjecting
their products to tariff law. This prob
ably will not be done so far as these
Islands are concerned. But the pro-
position is not a pleasant one.

Der. Yeager appeared on the scene,
and claiming that the boys were tress-

only shook him lightly, but the prose
cutlon claimed that he hit and kick
ed the boy IN brutal manner. Yeag-

not damaged to any extent. After
being charged by the Court the jury
