ONE. TWO. THREE. SHIFT"

Mr.. Dole and his cohorts seek
to shift the responsibility for
further Asiatic immigration upon
the planters, and the official organ
tries to place responsibility upon
the special agent of the United
States and finally upon President
Mckinley. Thus Mr.. Dole and
his inner circle meets critical sit
nation involving question of duty
to the United States with the usu
al shifting Sinking hesitancy that
is and has been the principal fea-
ture of local official life previous to
and since annexation to the Unit
ed States. The Executive has just
about as much capacity for
straight forward, consistent posi-.
tiveness, for evolving and sticking
to a policy upon which the Amer
lean people and the local business
men can depend, as a pig has for
high art. Whichever way it turns,
the Executive must sit on the
pointed end of a dilemma. Every
day that passes proves the truth
of Senator Cullom's remark to an
Hawaiian official, "You don't re-
slizs yet that you are annexed"
What was treachery to Americ-
an principle, by the immigration
policy pursued Immediately after
annexation, is now turned to
treschery towards the business
interests of Hawaii. After
having spent his time in the Com
mission arguing for the continu-
alton of the old order of affairs
and writing an article for Har
per's Weekly dwelling on the
blessings accruing from the gradual
mot sudden political change, Mr..
Dole all at once wakes up and an
nounces to the business commun-
ity of Hawaii that the labor
policy must be changed aud that
without further notice or time
TO prepare for the industrial
blockade that must necessarily
result from such action. Not one
iota of sound business sense or
appreciation Of duty to the bust
ness men of Hawaii and duty to
the American republic appears
at any portion of the Executive
policy, the responsibility for
which Mr.. Dole cannot escape.
Not once in his remarks before
the planters did Mr.. Dole CON
slider his duty NJ an American
citizen Of sufficient importance To
give II passing mention. Not once
does he recognize that tho hnan'
oial interests OF Hawaii ara OF
Evening bulletin. [volume] (Honolulu [Oahu, Hawaii]) 1895-1912, 1899-04-14

sufficient Importance to be given
the benefits of a gradual change
similar to that given political
interests.
As an appointee Of the Presi.
dent, Mr.. Dole says I'VE cannot
afford to injure our prestige"
with the administration. Having
lost much prestige with Presi-
deEt Mckinley it is not unnatural
that this matter should fret receive
Mr.. Dole's attention. Mr.. Dole fur
Their stated that the continuation
of the policy of assisting Asiatic
labor to the country would furnish
the advocates of colonial policy a
powerful argument against as,
thus again demonstrating that it
is fear, not honest duty to Amer
lean principle, serving as a promp-
ter TO this radical action. As a
business proposition effecting the
Executive, of which Mr.. Dole is
the chief, is this immigration mat
ter handled; the effect upon the
business community lie of indif-
ferent moment provided the chief
Executive can shift political
accountability from his shoulders.
Mr.. Dole asserts that no orders
regarding immigration have been
received from Washington. Whose
fault is it that such is the case2
Has Mr.. Dole sought to obtain an
opinion from the PRESIDENT The
channels of correspondence have
been open to him, and il he has
not made use of them, it is no
ones fault but his own.
Immediately after the close of
the conference Mr.. Dole asserts
that mo decision has been reach
ed" Again the way is left open
for another shift. 1t reminds one
of the college boy prank in which
the leader of the class says, "One,
two, three, shift" whereupon the
boys uncross their legs and again
cross them making as much noise
as possible by stamping on the
floor.
Mr.. Dole has made a noise by q
perfunctory anti-contract labor
speech before the planters and it
is now in order for him to again
pass the word down the Executive
line "One, two, three, Shift"
shift the policy, shift the respon-
sibility, shift anything and
everything 80 the policy of
gradual political change" can be
accomplished.

All the business men of Hawaii
ask for is stability. Given a straight
forward business like administra-
ton they eau and are willing to
adapt themselves to circumstan-
ces. A policy bereft of true
sense of duty to the American
people and prompted by the
cowardly fear Of being given a
political spanking by authorities
in Washington, is productive of
unnecessary panic 10 business
centers and serious financial loss.
Cowardly fear, with loophole
always open for a shift is the
handspring of the policy with
which the Executive now blocks
the business activity of Hawaii.
To call this attitude policy is to
dignity il more than is deserved.

TRYING TO MAKE GOLD.

Back in the forests of jefferson coun-
ty New York, in cave, lives aged
Willoughby Burnapp, who has spent
nearly forty years in an attempt to
discover the secret by which gold can
be made ou. of baser metals. He has
not only grown old in the strange
task, but he has also grown queer, for
he acts strangely and talks queerly.
His appearance is that of patriarch
with white flowing beard and matted
hair. Forty years ago the craze of al
chemy revived in the farmlands of JEFF
ferson county. Willoughby Burnapp
and his young wife lived happy and
prosperously those days. But when
the craze for gold-making came Bur-
napp was enc who abandoned the plow
for the crucible. His kitchen became
laboratory. With him the craze never
died. BY cay he poured over his queer
bles burned bright with evil fires. Fin
ally his wife died, his farm was sold,
and Burnapp, now grown old in his
fruitless effort to solve the question
of gold-making. took up his abode in
mountain cave, far removed from any
other habitation of man. Here he
lives and pours over his books, ami
makes Experimental without sue
cess. The golden secret is apparently
as far from his reach as it was the day
that he left the plow for the crucible.
But the old man is determined. All he
wants, all he asks, is to be let alone

DWARFS IN THE FOREST.
They Never Emerge from the solitude
in which Lloyd Found Them.


in Which Lloyd Found Them.
The English traveller, Alfred z.
Lloyd. who has made the journey
from Victoria Nyanza to the mouth OF
the Congo in three months, the quick
est time on record, using the Congo
steamboat service and railroad for
two-thirds of the way, Travelled
through the great equatorial forest of
which Stanley gave SO vivid a de-
scription. His route was little to
the south of Stanley's road and he
saw much of the dwarfs who inhabit
the forest region. II was three weeks
crossing the great forest" he said.
often the darkness even at midday
was remarkable. Sometimes l
was unable to read at noon, when,
as you know, the sun near the equa-
tor is almost directly overhead. One
day 1 tried to photograph my tent, but
failed on account of the dimness Of
the light. We sometimes narrowly
escaped being killed by the fall of
enormous trees, some 'of whose trunks
measured over twenty feet in circum-
ference. The silence of deaths reigns
in this forest unless broken by ami
mails or the fall of trees" Mr.. Lloyd
found game in abundance. There were
numerous elephants, leopards, buffa-
loes and antelopes in the forest. He
saw many more dwarfs than Stanley
met in the same region, and thus de-
scribed them to the London Daily
News: Il saw a great many of the
pygmies. but, generally speaking,
they kept out of the way as much as
possible. At one place in the mid
die of the forest, called Holenga, l
stayed at a village of a few huts ov-
cupied by the so-called Arabs. There
| came upon a great number of pyg-
mics who came to see me. They told
me that unknown to myself they had
been watching me for five days, peer
ing through the growth of the prime
val forest at our caravan. They ap-
peared to be very much frightened,
and even when speaking covered
their faces. l slept at this village,
and in the morning l asked the chief
to allow me to photograph the
dwarfs. He brought ten or fifteen OF
them together, and | was enabled TO
secure a snapshot. l couldn't give a
time exposure, as the pygmies would
not stand still. Then with great diff

found not one of them over four feet

than the men, but were equally well
formed. was amazed at their sturdi-
ness. Their arms and chests were
splendidly developed, as much so as
in a good specimen of an Englishman.
These men have long boards half way
down the chest, which imparts to
them a very strange appearance. They
are very timid and cannot look
stranger in the face. Their eyes are
constantly shifting. as is the case with
monkeys. They are fairly intelligent.
Except for tiny strip of bark cloth
men and women are quite nude. They
are armed with bows and arrows-the
latter tipped with deadly poison-snd
carry small spears. They never go
outside the forest. During the whole
time l was with them they were per-
fectly friendly"

Brother and Sister.

One of the strangest occurrences
which seems more impossible than
stories told in fiction, is recorded in
the current news of the day. Minnie
Brown, pretty young woman from
Pennsylvania, who visited Union City,
Ky, recently, while there became in
fatuated with a young man. An en-
gagement followed short courtship,
and she soon returned to her home IN
the Keystone state to prepare for the
wedding. She carried with her a pho
tograph of her intended husband which
she showed her parents, who recogniz-
ed in it the likeness of long-lost son.
The young man had left home when a
mere child, and his parents afterward
moved into Pennsylvania, and he en-
tirely lest sight of or rememb brapce of
them.

Jack, the chief of the Modoc Indians,

their work in most brilliant manner
and young Davis was made custodian
of the documents, which afterward
proved fatal witnesses against him and
wrought his death as a spy upon the
gallows. The securing of the informa-
ton concerning the status of the Union
troops was one thing. but getting out
of the lines with it was another All
went well until the Confederates met
scouting party of the Seventh Kansas
United States cavalry, known as the
Kansas Jayhawkers" Young DAVIS
was the only one of the party cap
tured. and all the compromising docu-
ments were in his possession.
1t was clear that some one on the
Union side must have been the traitor
who furnished him with the dangerous
information he possessed. General
Dodge advised the young man to re-
veal his informant. He spoke to the
young man about his youth and told
him that he evidently did not realize
the danger he was in.
Young Davis replied with character
!stic firmness: General Dodge, l know
the danger of my situation and am
willing to take the consequences"
General Dodge persisted and assured
him that it would be the only chance
for his life.
Finally Davis said: Il know that 1
will have to die but l will not tell
where l got my information, and there
is no power on earth that can make
me tell. You are doing your duty as
soldier and / am doing mine. If l
have to die, / feel that l am doing my
duty to God, my country and my flag"
When the day of execution came
Captain Chickasaw of General Dodge's
staff just before the trap was sprung
which broke the young hero's neck,
mounted the scaffold in great haste
and again offered the condemned man
liberty and safe conduct to the Confed-
crate lines If he would reveal the name
OF the traitor in the Union lines. With
the rope still pressing around his neck
and within a moment of eternity, the
boy turned. and with a placid smile
and an unfaitering voice said "If /
had a thousand lives | would lose then
all here before / would betray
friend" He died without a sembance
of fear.

Tennessee will soon erect a statue

Hale during the revolution. Sam Davis
was a trooper in the Second Kentucky
cavalry, Confederate States army. He
was l9 years old when he met his
tragic end. Early in November, 1853,
with others, he was detailed to pene-
trate the Union lines in Tennessee and
secure information as to the position
and strength of the Union forces un-
der General Dodge, then operating in
that section of the country. He was
acting under orders of General Bragg,
the confederate commander, and was
to report by courier line to his chief
at Missionary Ridge. When Davis
and his companions received their or

mission which they had to perform.
