The Constitution says that ".All taxes
upon property, real ard personal, shall be
laid upon the actual value OF the property
taxed, as the same shall be ascertained by
an assessment made for the purpose of
laying such tax Il also says the Gen
eral Assembly shall provide by law for
uniform and equal rate Of assessment for
taxation" 1t is fact that very little if
any property is assessed for taxation at its
actual value" For if It We're the taxa

No party can hope to win victory
at national election when its plat
form contains as one of its promi-
nent features SO dangerous and
dishonest policy. 1t ought not
to win and it will not. The rest of
the democratic platform is un-im-
portant. The currency bill by
which this government secures its
national Indebtedness at the lowest
rate of interest paid by any nation
in the world, is denounced.
y number of men of straw are
erected to be knocked down with
brilliant success. A plank is in
troduced denounclng the republi-
can policy of protecting our citizens
living in China. The effort on our
part to save the lives of hundreds
OF our people and to protect our
accredited minister from assassin
alton is spoken Of as intriguing and
land grabbing in Asia Sympathy
is expressed for the Beers. A
sympathy in which the vast maio-
rlty OF the American people join,
but it will be noticed that the
democratic platform does not an
nounce that had its party been in
power, it would have acted In any
different manner than has the
present administration. The dem
ocratlc party, being an irrespon-
sible organization, is of course at
perfect liberty to announce its sym
pathy with anything, but it is
difficult matter for national gov
eminent to interpose between
other nations, without fully count
ing the costs and taking the risks
of war.
The final paragraph is very
strong reminder of the platform of
1896 and it sees all sorts of dis
asters and perils threatening the
republic. 1t sees great cloud of
gloom and disaster settling over
the people. The only difference
is that in 1896 this peril and gloom
was caused by the crime of 1879,
whereas in 1900 it is caused by So
called militarism.
The democratic party is in
chronic state Of indigestion and
nightmares. Its vivid imagination
is constantly conjuring up tremen-
dous disasters which are about to
overtake our people, but to the.
healthy, we'll organized man the.
democratic party with its fearsome
predictions and its bitter denunci.
atoms has no charm. The healthy,
we'll organized man is looking to-
ward the party Of accomplishment,
the party that does something, not
to the party of everlasting bicker-
ing and fault-hnding and oppo-
sition.

ARSON SUNDAY MORNING
ATTEMPT TO BURN A CROWDED
LODGING HOUSE.
Unknown Parties Spread Kerosene and
Made a Fire Before Daylight Sunday
Many Roomers Endangered.

Shortly after four o'clock on Sunday
morning an attempt was made to burn
down Amana's lodging house on
School street. There were about hun
dred people sleeping in the place at the
time, and if the attempt had succeeded
there would undoubtedly have been
serious loss of life.
The attempt to burn the place was
by means of kerosene, spilled in one of
the rooms and daubed over the walls
The perpetrators of the outrage took
two large bottles of oil into the room
and broke them. After spreading the
stuff around and starting a fire they
fed, Before the flames had taken a
good hold of the wood the fire was dis
covered, and the occupants of the house
were able to stop it's progress.
There was great excitement among
the Chinese in the place when the fire
was discovered. Had it been left a few
moments longer, the big frame building
would have been enVeloped in flames.
Amana is a Christianized Chinese. 1t
is supposed that some enemy OF his did
the work. The police are working on the
case, but have not made any arrests
yet. Amana's place is on the mauka
side of School street, between Liliha
and Nuuanu streets.

MACHINE ELECTS ITS MEN.
FOURTH DISTRICT DELEGATES TO
CONVENTION.
Majority objected to William Haywood
And Turned Down Minority-Sam
Parker Endorsed.

The fourth district committee of the
Republican party held its third
meeting yesterday afternoon De-
legates to the Territorial Convention
were elected, and the Sewall crowd got
through resolution endorsing Sam.
Parker for Congress. a committee of
three was appointed to confer with the
like committee of the Fifth district on
the subject of nominations to the Sen
ate.
The meeting was held in the Chamber
of Commerce and was presided over by
Colonel J. w. Jones Twenty three men
were nominated for the convention and
the following We're elected:
j. w. Jones, George Mcleod, A. G. NJ.
Robertson, Charles b. Wilson, j. NJ.
Kea, c. l.. Wilcox, Clarence Crabbe,
Andrew Brown, j. ID. McNeigh, j. II.
Boyd, A. v Gear w. II. Coney, Archie
Gilfllan, J. w. II. Keiki w. II. Earring
ton, Sam Johnson, David Nahoolewa,
Keohokii.
Prior to the final meeting there had
been an agreement between the minori-
ty and the majority, or machine, that
the latter should have twelve and the
former six delegates to the convention.
The minority named its six men, as
follows: Henry Waterhouse, Mark p
Robinson, Joseph p. Cooke, Frank L.
Hoogs, j. B. Atherton and William
Haywood. The names were not salts
factory to the machine" and the name
of Haywood was challenged. The mi
nOrity was told that if they did not
drop Haywood the majority would go
back on the agreement and defeat the
six candidates This the minority re-
fused to do, and defeat resulted.
w. r. harrington offered the follow
ing resolution which passed:
THAT it is the sense of the Republi-
can party of the Fourth District that
the delegates be instructed to vote for
the Hon. Samuel Parker as the candi-
date for delegate to Washington"
Chairman Jones appointed the follow
ing committee to confer with the Fifth
district committee: H. NJ. Mott Smith,
c. L. Wilcox and A. V. Gear.

nounced: Executive, James H. Boyd,
Andrew Brown, H. NJ. Mott-Smith,

Johnson and Archie Gilfllan. Auditing
George F. Mcleod, J. P. Cooke and

1t now seems practically settled that
Kauai will not send any delegates to
either the Republican of Democratic
| conventions. The unanimous tendency
| there seems to be to hold aloof and vote
for the best man. Nothing is settled,

! be elected to the Legislature no matter

| berg would ALSO be elected but it is
doubtful that he can be under new con-
ditions, his residence being in Honolulu.
