Prospects for the season to Open

Everything is in readiness for the

that the latter acted In self defense.
The story IL prepoaterous All ~ the
disinteres,ed witnesses deny II. The
attack was made at the Chinese camp.
The Japs went there armed. The Chi.
nese had no arms. made no defense,
and not a Jap was injured, while the
blood upon the walls, floors and even
in the beds Of the Cinnamon all DEM
onstrates that the attack made by the
laps was so sudden, aggressive and
bloody that the Cinnamon could not
even get away, much less begin the
fight.
All this the jury has ignored. and
the guilty, but unconyicted rioters are
free to 20 back to Kahuku and taunt
the men whose wounds are scarce yet
healed. with the impotence Of the
white mans law.
Imagine that the riot had taken
place in Honolulu; that the friends,
neighbors and relatives Of this jury
had been murdered and manned; that
jury Of Cinnamon had acquitted the
mob. What howl Of protest would
rend the heavens; what blIstering de-
nunciations of Chinese juries would be
heard!
II Is such verdicts as this that lead
to lynching.
Amid the numbers of comparatively
ignorant Asiatics who form so large a
portion of our population, even-handed
justice, full and complete. constitutes
our safety. Every departure there
from is an injury to every member Of
the community. Each Of the jurymen
who voted to acquit the Kahuku riot
ers did an injury to each member OF
the community.
II is verdict which will tend to
foster future violence and encourag"
private retaliation.

THE GROWTH OF SAN FRANCISCO,

Both the Argonaut and the Call of
San Francisco have lately discussed
the lack Of civic pride among the
business and newspaper men of San
Francisco" The Argonaut declares
that the merchants are permitting the
commerce of the city to go to Puget
Sound. and asks them why they are
not reaching out for the Oriental trade.
Then comes Mr.. Law, who says in the
Merchants Association Review, that
tho people should talk about the city,
it's prospects and its possibilities. We
want to read about them. We want
to gather people to us, and with them
work out a great destiny for the city"
There is class of men who yet be-
lieve that the resources of city lie in
the amount of gas and talk OF liter
airy kind which the enthusiasts can ac-
cumulate and discharge in given
time. This method of building up cit
les has been a favorite one throughout
the States. and whenever city has
grown rapidly. the growth has been
credited to the talking process, rather
than to economic laws. the energy OF
man, and singular geographical posi-
tons. There is certainly no lack of in
telligent, even extraordinarily cnerget-
ic men in San Francisco. Nor are there
so many good business opportunities
offered there that. they are forced to
neglect them.

But the speculative period has
passed. The sudden fortunes belched
out by the Bonanza mines, which over
threw the reason of the people. are
things of the past. No people on earth
have seen so many riches, like ducks.
take wings and fly away as the resi-
dents of California have seen them.
No commercial shore has been more
thickly covered with financial wrecks
than that which lies around the San
. FIiUClS'D StOCk Exchange.
After the collapse of the Bonanza
mines the people OF that city gradually
became aware of the fact that men
must toll for a living, and that com
mercial development depended upon
the sound application of business
methods, rather than in standing on
the street corners and shouting "Grea.
is California" So far as shouting
brought in settlers, il brought in those
who positively declared that living
could be made in California with less
labor and risk than in. other States
The result has been grieyous disap-
poIntment, and an unusual conserya-
tism. The men who spend their time
in suggesting how to realize golden
dreams are those who have not been
able TO realize them themselves.
