Hawaii Is Enjoying Prosperity Neal
Unto Genuine Boom.
Chicago, June 22.-William w.
Hall, leading Hawaiian merchant,
left Chicago last night for the East.
Mr.. Hall was born in the islands oil
American parents. and has been life
long resident of Honolulu. He says he
will 60 to Washington and call upon
the president. whose brother David,
he knew we'll when the latter, now
dead, was consul to the island king.
dom. Speaking of the situation and
prospects of the island, Mr.. Hall said:
"lt will be year ago next Fourth
of July since the American flag was
raised in the Hawaiian islands, and the
country still presents the anomaly of q
republic within a republic. President
Dole and his cabinet have gone right
on exercising their functions until con.
gress gets around to organize terri
to-, ial form of government. The ma
jority of the people want Mr.. Dole ap.
pointed governor under the new sys-
tenn for time at least. He would
certainly be much more acceptable
than any American politician who
might be named.
The only other candidate on the
island who has been mentioned in
Harold Sewall, son of the man who
ran for vice president with Mr.. Bryan.
He is a Republican, however. Homo
lulu is enjoying an era of prosperity al.
most amounting to a boom. Sugar ia
up and rice and coffee plantations are
doing we'll. There are several mil.
lionaires in the city now, though 10
years ago l don't suppose there was
one. Everybody is interested in the
plantations; clerks and schoolteachere
all have shares. There are plenty Of
openings for American capital. The
Pacific is going to be the most pros
porous part of the globe. and Homo
lulu is almost at the center of the
travel east and west.

pines is too long to make without q
stop. We will have a cable line
within year or so. The Pacific trade
is becoming increasingly important.

people of Cobar mining district in

Port Townsend. June 21.-A num-

tonight on the steamer Dirigo present
the dark side of Klondike life. They

BLINDTIGERrsM IN JACKSON.

Mr.. Frank L. Bellenger, ex-editor OF
the jackson News, who is candidate
for Representative in Kinds, was one
of the principal speakers at candi-
dates rally at Brownsville last week.
The following report of his speech Is
given by correspondent of the Vicks-
burg Herald. It should be read in the
light of what The LEADER said last
week on the political situation in
Kinds:
A gentleman who was present in
forms The Herald correspondent that
none of the legislative candidates, ex-
cept Bellenger, had one word to say
against Governor McLaurin's admin
istration, but that Bellenger made up
for all their omissions and shortcom-
ings on this subject by putting in the
hottest load of shot ever fired at
chief executive in this State. Among
other things he gave the Prohibition
lists of the county, and of the State,
something to think about when he
came to talk about the defeat of the
whisky petition recently filed with the
board of supervisors. He told his
audience he knew they we're all
Prohibitionists, but that he was a sign
er of the petitions they had defeated
and as such would tell them there are
in the city of jackson just eighty. two
blind tigers. The existence of these
dens of iniquity he charged to the gov
ernor of the State, saying it was no use
for the Prohibitionists to convict the
tigers as the governor pardoned them
as fast as they were sent to the county
farm. 81 know it to be fact" said
Mr.. Bellenger, shat you and the bal
ance of the taxpayers of the county
have spent great deal of money by
prosecuting these blind tigers; that
youhave convicted a number of them,
and that the governor of the great
State of Mississippi has invariably
pardoned them" Later on in his
remarks he corrected that statement
to say that the governor had pardoned
all the striped beasts but one and that
was negro woman, who, OF course,
could not vote. Just how many of the |
blind tigers the governor had pardoned
Mr.. Bellenger did not know, but de-
clared the number considerable, and |
and that the infamous and illegal
traffic would never be broken up as
with his pardoning pen. This has
been talked about Jackson for some |
time, and the Prohibitionists of the |
county will doubtless remember the |
charge when the day of the |
senatorial primary rolls around. Mr..
Bellenger's remarks on the blind tiger
business of the city of jackson proved
an eye-opener to the audience, and
after the speaking was over scores of
people crowded around him to as.
sure him of their sympathy and to tell
him they were going to vote to rebuke
such promiscuous pardoning of crimi-
nails.

ALLEN THE FAyoRITE.

Hon. John NJ. Allen. Gen. Robert
Lowry and Senator w. V. Sullivan
spoke in the courthouse after the con-
vention adjourned. When Mr.. Allen
had spoken, Mr.. Percy offered the
following, which was adopted without
out opposition:
"Resolved, That it is the sense of
this meeting that the levee interests
of the Delta can be safely trusted to
Hon. j. M. Allen; that he is entitled
to the undyiug gratitude of the people
of Mississippi for the undaunted fight
he has waged against McLaurin, and
has won the affections of the people
of Washington county. He has borne
the heat and burden of the fight, and
we commend him to our representa-
tives as our choice for United States
Senator.

One Way Candidates May BE Knocked
The taxpayers of the several counties
of the State ought to look carefully in
to the qualifications of aspirants for
office, high and low; not only their capa-
city, integrity and. sobriety, but see If
they are eligible under the constitu
ton to hold the Office they seek, see
if they have paid all the taxes due on
or before the 1st day of February, 1899;
see if they have registered properly;
see if they have lived the requisite con-
sititutional time in the beat or district
in which they now live; in short, look
thoroughly into the matter. And it
might not be bad idea to see if the
men now in Office are qualified cleo
tors; if they are not, they are ineligi-
BILE to the office which they hold. and
can and should be ousted by quo war
ranto proceedings. These are serious
matters. The constitution is the su-
preme law of the commonwealth. To
permit persons to vote and hold office
who are not qualified electors is to spit
upon and mock the constitution
