Not one head OF stock was killed
on the middle division OF the

GOvERNoRsHIP AGAIN.
Hawaii Herald.)

TRAVAIL 1erald'l
The Advertiser continues to
make the statement that President
Dole is not candidate for the
governorship, though in the opin-
ion of that journal he is indubit-
ably the man for that place. Mr..
Dole says it would be indicate
for him to come out as a candidate
for an office which does not now
exist. On the surface Mr.. Dole
appears not to be either politician
or office seeker. But appearances
do not always signify, as the
monkey remarked when he pulled
the chestnut from the fire. Mr..
Dole no doubt feels that it would
be indicate, because of his &C.
ton in framing the Constitution
of 1894. 1t will be remembered
that he was insistent on one
point: "That the term of presi-
dent shall be for six years and
that he shall not succeed himself"
With that clause burnt into his
mind it would indeed be lndelicate
in Mr.SDole to press any imsgin-
airy claims he may have for the
Office of governor of Hawaii be-
cause as such head of affairs he
would be succeeding himself.

JUDGE u. A. wIDEMANN.

One by one the men who have
been prominent in the history
maxi g epoch Of Hawaii's indie
pend ce are passing from the
vorl,i's stage and the work of
their life can be viewed in the
calm light which time sheds upon
the marker OF the scale of justice.
OF tn names associated with Ha
waits political and commercial
devel ,pment none has been or
will II" more prominent than that
o. Julg Widemann. He was a
successful pioneer with all the
strengto of body and force of
mini that the name has come to
sig uify; one of those characters
which no opposition makes
fear 10 which no OBJ
sttcl, seems unsurmountable,
political fighter of tena-
city, man who when once salts
fed If the justice of his action
could MT be swerved from his
course by any power on earth.
His enemies called him intractable
and unnecessarily radical, his
friends said he was true to his
friends, and both recognized in
him lender who had to be reck-
oned with and whose advice
sho i'd be needed.
During his late years Judge
Widenann centered all the force
of his strong German character in
the inter,ts of Hawaiian indie
pendence. That he was fighting
losing cause was simply a
signal for redoubling his effort

THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY.

In going over the list of mem
bers of the next United States
Congress one may we'll ask what
has become of the Democratic
party. The old line Democracy
comes all most entirely from the
"solid South" From the other
States the mix up of Fusionists
and Populists is so marked that
the dividing lines in the next
Congress will be between the Re-
publican party and the Opposition.
Of the ninety senators in the
Fifty Sixth Congress, but twenty
six are straight out Democrats and
Of this number all but six are
from the former confederate
States.
In the House Of Represen tatives
of the Fifty sixth Congress there
will be 1855 Republicans to 1863
strict Democrats and 9 Populists
or Silverites, or a Republican ma
jority of l3 over the Bryanite
coalition: OF the 1913 Democrats,
"a will be from States making up
the old Southern Confederacy and
"a more from former slave States
Jos in all, or about two-thirds.
Of the remaining 55, as many as
lS will be from New York, and
all of these except three from tho
city of New York alone. The
free silver South, with the assist
ance of New York city, therefore,
will have all the Dem ocratic Repre-
sentatives of the Union except 40,
That lie, take out the city of New
York and the solid South, and the
Democratic party would be re-
duced to practical humiliation in
Congress. All the Populists or
Silverites will be from the little
silver States, except one from
Kansas and one from North Caro-.
lima.
This shows that notwithstand-
Ing the old name still holds, the
Bryan combination comes pretty
close to ruling what there is left
of the Democratic roost. The
bond of union is that the various
factions are in minority and can
hold together only by an opposi-
ton to anything and everything
that Is. That these forces can
combine to accomplish anything
either in Congress or in national
politics is only possibility.

FINANCIAL.
BULLS AND BEARS.
The Market Halted to Hear From the
Wire Meeting.
No Dividend for Holders Of Common Stock.
The Market Dull but Holding Well

Wall Street, June 23.-From the pro-
cedure OF the market today one might
have been let 10 suppose that the vast
financ al interest OF the country rested
upon the stock jobbers of the Ameri-
can Steel and Wire trust 10 act in the
matter Of dividend on th1t most dis
appointing stock. The market was duh
all through until half past two O'Clock.
1t was stated that the Steel and Wire
crowd were in sacred session and the
result OF their deliberat ons as 10 the
declaration of dividend would be
known at two O'Clock. So all Wall
street and it's ramifications throughout
the country waited with bated breath
10 learn what would come out of the
Wire meeting.
The stocks see-sawed on limited
transact Ons between a point, with the
exception of Sugar which of course oc-
cupied more room. fluctuating between
las and l50%. Wire itself moved back
and forth between SO and 54A on the
whole making show OF strength 80
far as there was any show at all. But
as two o'clock approached dullness
lapsed into lifelessness ana lifelessness
into coma. Still the Wire magnates did
not come forth. When they id, they
announced that ia per cent. dividend
had been declared on the preferred
stock and nit on the cOmmon---about
as shrewd traders had expected.
The immediate effect OF this an
nouncement upon the market was by
no means commensurate with the pre-
interest in the result of the meeting.
Nothing happened except that Wire
common fell off a fraction. The market
held up during the last half hour with
as little trading as at any time during
the day. Wire closed around its best
figure for the day.
Three millions more gold for export
was reported.
The grain market was listless.
