lives near Manhattan. has preferred
charges against the republican regents
for doing these things. Now. if the
law made it compulsory on the gtver-

popuiists, the same law makes it OBJ
i.atory on him to take up similar,
charges against the republicans. bGt
what does he do? He takes his pen IL
hand and writes Mir. Black an undig-
nified and insulting letter. in which he
refuses to take notice of these matters:
that is. he takes the position that he
can. Or will. only recognize rhar@es
made against populisis. The people
OF this state believed that the hr>t in

Not long ago we read the test imony
of republican editor during an in
vestigation of public matter, in
which he declared that he generally
told the truth except in political cam
Daigns When he was asked whether.
he thought tn lying was honorable
during political campaign. he said
he thought it was. Here is standard
of morality and of honor which a
great many otherwise estimable gentle
men seem to think good enough for
them. The campaign liars are not
confined to any one political party.
They are to be found in the popuiist
ranks as we'll as in the republican,
only they are not quite so numerous.
The campaign liar. after he gets to be
we'll known. is very little Use to his
party. He finds few people who will
believe him, BECAUSE they don't know
any better, but they generally belong
to his own party. AS an illustration
of how little influence a cauIpaign liar
has upon results we respectfully refer
our readers to the Wichita Eagle.-

The Mercury apologies for the ''lit-
Klondike by saying that the same con-
dition of things existed there under
Leedy. It might also have added :hat
the same was true in relation to this
hell-hole under Morrill,. We respect
fully submit to our esteemed contem-
pOrary that this does not let the pres
sent partisan governor out of the hole
that his propensity to use his mouth
too freely has got him into. In order
to further excuse this puerile partisan,
the Mercary proceeds to say that
Leedy was supposed to have received
a part of the money collected from
these places-a statement which it
knows to be wholly untrue. 1t is cer
tainly weak defense of Stanley to
make an attack on Leedy and very
decided evidence eff the weakness of
the governor position. The condi-
ton of this matter, briefly stated. is
this: Stanley visited Leavenw orth and
OuCu ave Ouo az iiCCi VIC" Al NIilSh
he stated, among other things, that
the Klondike would be wiped out if it
took the whole power of the state gov
erpment. This was followed by an
open letter from one of the saloon men
of this district defying Stanley to do
anything, and by another from the
same source guying the weakened
hypocrite and inviting him to come
over and partake of their hospitality.
To our inquiry as to what Stanley
proposes to do, the bOss-ridden organ
of the p. o. corner makes no response
but to villify the ex-governor Truly
this must be statesmanship, and of the
republican brand. 1t is admitted by
all that the existence of this iniqultous
nest is a disgrace to the state, and
should be wiped out. yet the admins
tration organs find no word of en-
couragement for the executive, but sit
back on their launches and wall:
''Leedy did no better'' We want to
call their attention to one thing, and
that is that when Leedy was governor
no gang of 1awbreakers in the state
! ever defied his authority.

population of $4,000 people in her ur-

by including the villages of Cantera,
Canas, and Playa, which are closely
connected together, and lie on the
highway leading to the water front two
miles away, the number may be raised
to 24,5O0, or quite as many people as in
San Juan proper. An important factor
to men contemplating permanent res
1dence in some town on the island is
the possibility of extension of the cor
porate limits. Ponce has none of the
natural barriers to expansion existing
at San Juan, as it is built upon level
surface, under the edges of the rolling
hills, and at a considerable elevation
above the sea. 1t can grow readily in
almost any direction, with equal facil-
ity, and it has not at its threshold

If Attorney General Monet had only
complied with the desires of the Stan
dard Oil trusts he might have been
standing on that antitrust plank as a
candidat for reelection. The oil trust
offered to make him federal Judge,
a position much more desirable than
the attorney -generalship of Ohio.
Since it was in its power to do this, it
certainly could have secured him the
nomination of attorney general by ac-
clamation. Jerry Simpsons Bayonet.

The temperance people have at last
struck scheme that they think is a
winner. Over in Scandia there were
four jointists who had successfully
defied all attempts to suppress them
for years. y minister finally struck
upon the idea of advertising a reward
for evidence to convict. The plan
was put into effect and after forty-eight
hours there was not a joint operating
in the place. The success of this eff ort
is genuine surdrise to the prohibi
tiOnists. and they are considering the
advisability of organizing for the
purpose OF Offering rewards. If this
is done. the jointists won't have any
more show in this state than a jack
rabbit would have for his life locked
in room with a coyote.

The Topeka Journal is recognized
all over the state as an independent
paper, and consequently when it pub
lished last week an entire column of
charges of cruel and ,,,huraan treat
ment of the patients at lhe state insane
asylum there was CONSERVATION in the
republican ranks. Nov the repub-
licans insist that it is q populist Or
gan. In fact. any paper that makes a
practice of telling the truth is open
TO the same charge, and for one we
are willing to plead guilty. What the
republicans dread more than anything
else is having the truth get out as to
their methods.

The Hawaiian star. [volume] (Honolulu [Oahu]) 1893-1912, 1899-07-07

There is the greatest excitement grow
ing up about the race for the America
cup. The Columbia has been tried and
handed over to her owners. On her trial
she simply walked away from the De-
fender, and the greatest hopes are CEN
tered upon her success. The Shamrock
has been launched, but of her prospec-
tive performances, no account is to
hand. The race for the America cup
is one of worldwide interest, and eX-
cites more attention that any other
sporting event. The true point at issue
is not the cup but the skill in building
and sailing fast vessels. This skill has
for years remained prominently on the
western side of the Atlantic, and there
seems every probability of it's remain
ing there still.

The Hawaiian village has gone to the
advantage no doubt of private pocket
books, but very much to the deteriment
of the Islands. 1t will give false idea
of conditions here, and create an i'm
preston that we are still in the grass
house-stage, that Hawaiian women
walk about in grass petticoats, and
dance somewhat suggestive dances. The
Hayseeds will wonder and put US
alongside the Filipinos People who be-
lieve in the advancement of the Islands
desire to show how progressive we are.
The effect of the Hawaiian village upon
many minds, will be to impress them
with the idea that we are far from be-
ing fitted to be American citizens.
There was no means Of stopping the
exhibition of course, and it has gone
forward TO do what harm it can by mis-
representing the present stage of de-
Nelopment of the native Hawaiians.

There has been much talk about the
way in which Queensland was going
behind, owing to the fact that contract
labor was prohibited This seems con-
tradicted by the figures which appear
in Queensland paper. In the year 1898
the sugar yield was 10000 tons, which
is the largest production that the colony
has ever put forth, and this was raised
almost entirely by white labor. If white
labor can succeed in Queensland, it GER
tainly ought to here, for the climatic
conditions are infinitely better. The
heat in Queensland is infinitely greater
than it is on our Islands. To the crok-
ers who predict that Hawaiian prosper
ity is very unstable on account of labor
the success of Queensland seems to be
a very good answer.

A KNOTTY PROBLEM.

The. condition in Luzon must be
serious, and there begin to be the
ominous growIs which portend grave
dissatisfaction with an unsuccessful
general. That there is something wrong
is very evident from the way the news
is manipulated, and criticism of Otis is
kept in allegiance. That Otis has mis-
judged his foe and that he has probably
been misled by false information seems
probable. The dispatches for long
time foreshadowed certain victory. The
rebels We're beaten in all directions, and
Aguinaldo must give in. But the rainy
season has come, and the end of the
revolutionary movement is as far off as
ever, apparently. Aguinaldo still holds
out and has occupied positions which
the American troops have abandoned,
after having captured them.
There is no doubt about the bravery
of the American troops, they have done,
and will do again the boldest and most
determined deeds, but whether those
troops have been used TO the best ad-
vantage is quite another story. The
troops may be the best in the world,
but general who does not grasp the
situation, may misuse and fritter away
his troops and accomplish nothing of
moment
The report that a change in admins
tration is to be made in Luzon points
to the fact that confidence in Otis is
not as great as it has been. The pro-
posed change is to make Otis governor
of Manila, and to put Lawton in charge
of the troops. With a vastly superior
force than was at the command of Otis
and with the experience that he has
gained In the field, added to a more
