THE MAN FOR DELEGATE.

The Delegate In Congress from Ha-
wall shOGiu De a man whose PERSONA
influence VAL enable him 10 make UP
for the pOiltIcal prestige which "a vote
less Congressman Is deuIed. Were ha-
wall a state, with a vote on all ques-
tlons of NATIONAL legislation and a voice
in the Electoral college, almost any
moral and well-meaning man, in his
capacity of Representative, could WELD
an influence in. the House. But the
Delegate from a Territory has no vote
and having no vote he rarely If ever
gets a chance to be heard on the floor
The consideration of the chair goes to
fuily-endowed members, not to those
who can do nothing of practical value
for the passage OF bills or the winning
Of party triumphs. The only chance
for the Delegate TO make himself felt,
therefore-or rather. to make the wish
es of his constituency felt-is to acquire
personal influence that will lead Rep
resentatives of standing to make his
cause their own and to win him a well
come and an attentive ear in the De-
partments.
1t takes a strong man to put himself
into such a position. He must be a
man of magnetism; one who Is able TO
hold his own In controversy; a versatile
man of the type OF the late II. A. p.
Carter; man OF sufficient means to
give good dinners and other entertain
ments: withal a man OF tireless energy
and persistence. Perhaps such a mar
cannot be found In Hawaii who would
enlist for two years at Washington
but IL he Is not obtained our Delegate
will be a mere nonentity-an idle graf
on the salary roll.
The real business of the Hawaiian
Delegate will be in the Department.

A SCHEME OF PLUMBER.

The Independent native party, as an
organized hunger and thirst, is eager
to establish municipalities and control
them for what there is in it," In an
article on the outlook printed yesterday
the native organ says:
municipal government for Hawaii
based on the most liberal terms should be
established as soon as possible, and then
we will elect every official needed and
the most popular man will get" there.
and the Advertiser gang Will weep tears.
and compare them as Tammany, ann
wish that they had never advocated an
nexation. Nothing, however, can stop the
Legislature passing municipal laws; not
even Dole's veto or Thurston's wealth.
The laws are framed, ready to be pre-
scented and will be passed unanimously.
II the laws are framed" why not
give the people chance to study them
before the Legislature meets? Why
not publish the proposed ordinances so
that their desirability, their Constitu-
tionality in fact, may be discussed be-
fore they are foisted on the taxpayers?
There would be no expense attached.
The Advertiser would be glad to pub
lish the charter, if any really exists, as
a matter of news.
apparently tie independents nave
something to conceal. What Is it?
Surely the taxpayers enjoy the right to
know what laws are proposed for their
taxation and government. If they are
to be denied such information 1t simply
means that the worst classes of natives
have invented a scheme of municipal
plumber and intend to spring it as a
surprise on the people who must pay
| the bill.
| The situation as thus revealed is pre-
cisely like that which the negroes and
carpet baggers foisted on South Caro-
lima in the years before the overthrow
Do we need to declare that the fina
result will be the same? No one who
has ever seen the property-interests
of Hawaii and of Honolulu aroused in
self defence can doubt the issue for q
moment.
The Independent party. as revealed
by its organ, reminds us of the mel
who tried to steal water from a reser-
voir by digging into the face of the
dam. When the dam broke the digger:

OF CURRENT INTEREST.
Has Read His Own Obituary.

L am one of the very few men who
have had the extreme satisfaction OF
reading my own obituary, said Con-
gresham Sam y. Cooper of Texas to
a newspaper n.s.n the other day. Il
have been iii down home for several
weeks, and at one ume, they tell me,
there came very near being vacancy
in the Second Congressional District
and an opportunity for eulogy in the
House of Representatives. Just as an en-
terprising little sheet down in my dis
trict was about to go to press, brimful
of the latest happenings, the startling
information reached the ears of the
busy editor that was dying. Hurriedly
he seized his pencil and dashed off
half column, anticipating, I suppose,
that he had scoop on his rival, as he
had the news fresh from my bedside
that Cooper was breathing his last: BY
the time this reaches our readers Sam
Cooper will be numbered among the
hosts of those who have gone to that
bourne from whence no traveller re-
turns or something to that effect, ran
the story. Then he proceeded to recite
a brief history of my life, to chronicle
the virtues and manly character of
the deceased, and to recount his valued
services to the party and to the nation,
all embellished in such beautiful out
burst of eloQuence as only a Texas edi-
! tor can command. He told what a great
loss the State of Texas had sustained,
and how l would be mourned by a host
of friends, and 1 suppose, had it not
been so near press time, would have
/ suggested the name of my successor.
/ Well to curtail an extended narrative,
the obituary was printed, and here / am
fully recovered and feeling better than
an entire cemetery of dead ones. When
| read that tribute to my memory /
almost wished that had died in order
not to spoil good story. and it all goes
to show that a man has got to pass off
in order to get pleasant things said
about him."

A recent biography of Edwin Booth
tells the story of his visit to Hawaii in
the early FiftieS. Mr.. Booth headed a
famous band of players that went to
San Francisco when that city was
roaring camp and gathered a golden
harvest. After running through their
repertory many times the company
took ship to Honolulu on the way to
Australia and gave the old missionary
town its first glimpse of the real thing
in legitimate theatricals. Honolulu had
a small hall and this was rugged with
very fair scenery for Richard III, Ham
let, Richelieu and the rest of the fam
Gus plays in which Booth and his father
shone. 1t is believed that the company
included John Wilkes Booth but this is
not certain. An amusing incident is
related in the biography which sufficed
for Edwin Booths Introduction to the
native character and to the principal
Island edible. When the season opened
Mr.. Booth hired a native boy TO put up
bills. giving him a bucketful of poi to
use as paste. The youngster ate the poi
and was asleep under a tree when
Booth found him. After that the great
American tragedian walked the streets
every day with bucket and paste brush,
sticking up his own paper"

A Philadelphia. census enumerator
who had an Italian district assigned to
him tells an amusing story of the
growth of the Quaker City population.
At one house the woman refused to
give him any information, telling him
to return the next day. After wasting
half an hour or so the enumerator went
to the next house. After he had got his
answers there he asked how many were
in the family at the house he had just
left, and was told there were ten chill
dren and the father and mother. Being
anxious to have his district properly
covered, the enumerator went back to
get the answers that had been refused
on his first visit, and was met by the
man of the house, whose readiness to
give him what was wanted surprised
him. In answer to his question, How

Governor Rogers of Washington is
nothing II not original. In giving his
reasons for not quarantining the State
against the bubonic plague, he said
that he had consulted a number of
prominent physicians who all agreed
that there was positively no danger in
the black scourge to American citizens.
These physicians said that even IL Am
orleans should be infected the disease
was amenable to proper treatment and
that IL was only dangerous to the Chi
nese or people of Monaghan descent.
The Governor thought that judicious
and well-regulated mortality among
the Chinese was matter that could be
looked upon with n great deal of COM
plaisance and quiet resignation to the
DEGREES of an All-Wise Providence. In
other words IL the plague should visit
Washington II would probably benefit
the State and confer an indubitable
blessing upon white labor.

The attacks on Chairman Hanna of
the Republican National Committee are
those usually made upon men occupy
ing that position. In the long list of
efficient national chairmen are few who
have escaped calumny. 1t is the Demo-
cratic strategy when they fear a Re-
publican chairman to try and get his
party friends to drop him. Nothing
would have suited the Bryan men bet
ter than to drive Hanna out of politics
but that stanch old partisan held his
ground and win lead his followers to
another victory.
