LET WILCOX ALONE.

1t is not very likely that Congress-
when it comes to dealing with Dele
gate Wilcox will pay much attention
to the rawlings of CelsO Caesar Moreno
or to the desire of a woman who was
once the Hawaiian Delegates wife, to
even up old scores. The electoral Will
of the people is not to be abridged by
caprice, by personal diSlikes or by pri-
vate enmities. Roberts case is the eX-
ception which proves the rule. He was
living in disregard of certain laws OF
his country but even that might not
have counted at Washington, in view
of what many Congressman called eX-
tenuating circumstances, had it not
been for the monster petitions which
We're rolled up against him and for the
attitude of the national press. In the
case of Wilcox there is nothing to prove
that he is living or acting in defiance
of any Federal law and there Is no pub
lie sentiment, reaching out to members
of Congress, to demand him as vic
tim. 1t is said at Washington that Mr..
Wilcox was seditious towards the Unit
ed States in his campaign attitude here.
Certainly intimate political friends.
Kaulia for example, We're dislOyal, but
the Advertiser recalls no speech made
by Wilcox which COnvicts him of n
hostile attitude towards the country Of
his enforced adoption. OF course he is
n humbug and in some respects n
knave; but a Congress that accepts n
Pettigrew in one branch and n Tam
many heeler in the other cannot be fini-
cal about insinCerity and want Of moral
purpose.
In fun understanding Of the fact that
the Advertiser Is accepted at Washing
ton as the chief exponent Of American
sentiment here, we say that there Is no
public opinion In Hawaii favorable 10
the denial of Mr.. WllcoX's rights as n
Delegate in Congress. We hope the
House Committee on Credentials win so
understand the fact, Though the Re-
publican and Democratic candidates
for Congress together polled more votes
than Wilcox got and could have beaten
him under plan of fusion, neither they
nor their supporters want the results

1t appears that the Littleield bill
prohibiting the sale of liquor to the ma
tives of the Pacific Islands belonging
to the United States was not intended
to touch Hawaii and may be amended
so as to exclude this group Viewed
practically such exclusion would be
wise, for as the natives OF Hawaii are
now citizens of the United States they
could not be deprived while they re-
main so of any portion of their acquired
rights save in the case OF individuals
of infamous crimes, To at
tempt it as the Littlefield bill does sim
ply invites litigation which would end
in declaring the Hawaiian clause un-

When the City of Picking came into
port last evening she was profusely
decorated with Christmas greens.
Away up on her masts were signs
of evergreen, and every here and there
festations of Christmas feeling
aboard.
Chief Steward ]. H. d. Johnson was
responsible for all this and a great
deal more.
Down in the saloon of the Picking
such sight met the eyes of those who
went aboard the vessel after she had
locked last night as has rarely been
seen in this part of the world.
Holly, mistletoe and evergreens of
every description were artistically and
generously arranged all over the sa-
loon.
A huge palm stood in front of a
large mirror at the after end of the
saloon, and in the middle of the palm
there shone an electric light, while
around about the illuminated palm,
fluttering in the pleasant breeze oc-
casioned by the electric fans all over
the saloon, were arranged flags of all
nations, pretty silken flags whose
brave colors mingling with the bright
greens of Christmas made a scene
most delightful to behold.
Chief Steward Johnson spent great
deal of time on these decorations and
put forth his best efforts.
Today, however, is the day that the
steward will shine forth in all his
glory, and will be voted by all the
people on board the best fellow on
earth. Today he has arranged a menu
which would make the greatest dys-
peptic hungry. There will be decora-
tive pieces and pieces that are meant
to be eaten, and the probabilities are
that those who sit down to the table
spread on the Picking today viii vo e
the dinner the best Christmas dinner
they ever tasted in their lives.
Steward johnson has taken particu-
lar care to place mistletoe above ev-
cry entrance to the saloon, SO that
If any pine for kisses aboard the Pc
king today 1T will not be because there
is not sufficient excuse for having
them, for mistletoe will abound

THE LAWS HEAVY HAND.

The order of the United States De-
psrtment of Justice to District Attor-
ney Baird to begin proceedings against
ali conspiracies in restraint of trade is
the second definite result of the Adver-
Users crusade against the plumbing
trust. The first was the announcement
Inv the members of the trust that they
would henceforth sell their wares to all
cemers at an even price. If that deci-
sion was honestly reached and is being
sincerely carried out, this journal
would feel at liberty to express the
hope that the United States District
Attorney would tread lightly in his
path of duty. giving the offenders a
chance to yield the fruits Of repentance
But story lately brought to us by
contractor raises a presumption OF
cbicane which we should like to nave
disposed of first.
This contractor says that he went TO
n leading supply house and asked 1T to
All an order for plumbing goods which
he himself proposed to Install
I'VE do not want to sell to you, SAID
The dealer. but will do so If you de-
mand It, the law giving us no alterna-
tive"
well / must demand 1t then" said
the customer
IAN right, Here is our list price.
Take your pick"
This was the little joker-the list
price. The contractor knew that mem
bers of the plumbing trust were get
tirc about so per cent off from list
prices. He could not pay the latter
without making mis- building cost more
than he had agreed to build 1t for. His
remark to the Advertiser was: You
say the trust Is pulverized! From my
point of view 1t is in as good working
order ~ ever it was"
II this story represents the actual
spirit and practice of the Honolulu
plumbers then they have no right to
expect mercy either from the District
Attorney or the press. To stand up
fairly and say: 1--WE did not know we
We're breaking the law and having
found 1t out we propose hereafter to
deal with the public on the square,"
would be n strong appeal for leniency.
Rut the policy of evading the law in
vites punishment for past misdeeds.
Nobody can support the plumbers in
that: no one can Justly complain If they
are made to toe the mark in the Fed
eral Court.
II Is understood that the United
States District Attorney has discovered
other conspiracies in restraint of trade
than that one so successfully attacked
by the Advertiser. If so we wish him
a legal triumph in his dealings with
them. What they are is not clear, for
it has not seemed to US that any OF
the ordinary combines named in the
recent past as proper objects OF at
tack. have violated any law which the
Supreme Court regards as constitution
al. However, Mr. Baird's judgment
upon these matters is not disputed;
and If he succeeds in bringing other
trusts to time. which individuality
abuse the public, this journal will not
withhold from him any credit he may
deserve at the hands of the peoples
press. All trusts should go; and II all
of them can be reached by the law as
it stands so much the better.

Hawaii has loved the American flag
too long not to sympathize with the
protest of the Sons of the American
Revolution against its use for advertis-
ing purposes. The Stars and Stripes
labelled with the name Of somebody's
pills, or carrying the smirch of a
pool-room advertisement, is not an i'm
pressive object, and doubtless aids in
creating spirit of irreverence for an
emblem which Is the nations sign OF
authority on land and sea. A law pro-
tecting the flag from commercial de-
facement would be popular and
praiseworthy one. A'

SPIDER TIME I'm MANILA.
There IL Great sport for the Filipino
Boys I'm Making the In
sects Fight.

When spider time" arrives the Fill
ipino boy is happy. He does not know
much about marbles, but when spider
time arrives, and that is just after the
rainy season begins, he knows that
he is to have great sport. There are
two harmless varieties of spiders that
are green and yellow in color that ma
ture in June. They are as large as the
common black spider so plentiful in
California. The Filipino boy catches
these and keeps them secure in box.
A small rod the size and length OF a
knitting needle is procured. A spider
is then placed on the rod. Another boy
comes along and he bets a cent that
his spider viii whip, says the San Jose
(Cal) Mercury. Then the sport be-
gins.
The boy who Is challenged produces
his spider, places it on the rod with
the challenger's. Each spider makes
rush for the other and fierce bat
tie ensues. Sometimes the stronger
of the two will wind web around the
other, fastening him to the rod and
completely putting him out of bust
ness" The spiders sometimes fight for
ten minutes. Nearly every boy has
from eight to ten spiders, and they
bet all the Filipino pennies they can
get on the result of the fight

NOT vERsED IN ROMANCE.
Manuscript of scOtt's Tvanhoe" Was
Rejected by Many London
Publishers.

BY way of practical joke a type
written copy of Scott's "Ivanhoe" was
recently sent the rounds of the Lon
don publishers, under the title, when
John Was England's King" 1t was
returned in every case. The London
Academy amuses itself by imagining
the form taken by the letters OF re-
lection. 1t thinks Messrs. Macmillan
might have written somewhat like
this:
:. "Messrs. Macmillan & Co. regret to
have to return When John Was Eng
lands King but they fear that inter-
est in historical fiction is diminishing
Their readers report of the story is
in the main favorable but he points
out that the charge CT initiating The
Forest Lovers one of Messrs. Mac
millan's recent publications, might
perhaps be difficult to rebut. In his
opinion the author of When John
Was England's King would perhaps
have made better and more readable
book had he studied Mr.. Hewlett more
carefully"
Here is another burIesque letter:
"Mr. John hurry begs to return the
Ms. of When John Was England's
King and to quote passage from
his readers report thereon: 4 do not
recommend this novel, although it is
painstaking and thorough. The au-
thor would, l think, have been wiser
had he chosen another name for his
hero. Ivanhoe has already been used

the salary must, of course, be the i'm

from volunteers who clamor to be sent
