SMALL MERCHANTS ORGANIZE,

The suggestion for the organization
OF Board Of Trade or Merchants AS
ISOLATION is one that ought to be for
warded with as much vigor as the i'm
povements clubs. municipal leagues
and the rest of the schemes that be-
speak a progressive city. The Cham
Der or Commerce is all right, but II
occupies the same position here that
Chambers Of Commerce do Throughout
the United States. 1t represents wealth
ana ponderous weight. Its representa-
ton OF merchants is small.
There is hardly city in the United
states In which the merchants have
not their separate organization. and in
every instance the result has been
beneficial to general business interests
Even In the city OF New York with its
powerful Chamber OF Commerce, the
active business agent in that CONNER
cial center is the New York Board of
Trade and transportation. The Board
OF Trade gives representation for the
smaller merchants whose interests are
quite as important as the millionaires
moving along the same lines as the less
active organization 1t serves To nro-
mote a better recognition of the gen.
erai business interests and more COM
piete cooperation for progressive work.
Let the small merchants get to-
sether. As an organization they can
exert a power. At the present time
fhey are practically a nonenity.

THE. TRADE RESTRICTIONS,

The critical situation that confronts
the merchants Of the city is very ably
set forth by the communication pub
lished In another column. Having
nearly completed the work of housing
the fugitives of the fire, 1t seems rea-
sonable that the Health Board can now
give time to the consideration of such
measures as will relieve the strict en-
barge on merchandise. With the ex-
ercise OF the same strenuous activity
that has characterized the handling of
| Chinatown, ways and means can be
| devised whereby Honolulu will not be
absolutely cut off from its trade with
the other Islands. Put the same energy
into the construction OF warehouses
that has been exerted In building the
detention camps.
The Board Of Health Is in duty
bound to hold to radical measures in
preventing a spread of the plague to
the other islands, for, as DR.. Wood has
said. the Board will be held RESPONSE
BILE should the disease make It's an
pearance outside the limits Of the city.
The people cannot afford to take
chances, but continuation of the pres
ent commercial condition for any
great length Of time means death to
retailers. What methods can be devils
ed for giving more freedom to inter-
island business 1t is not within the
province Of the layman to initiate. A.
conference of the Board with the mer
chants however to reach a better under
standing seems absolutely necessary.
II remedial measures for the merchants
are not an immediate result of such a
conference, both the professional and
business men will reach a complete
knowledge Of the situation and there
will be less chatting under restrictions
which, as the situation brightens ap-
pear unnecessary to the business COM
munity.

POLITICIANS FROM; WASHING
TON.

Our great and good friend the un-
official delegate and special agent OF
the local Executive officials seeks to
impress upon the authorities in Wash
ington the great fear in the heart OF
Hawaii's people that the Islands will
be colonized by Office seekers from
Washington. 1t is well known fact
that our officials have wholesome fear
of straightforward Americans holding
Office under territorial rule. They have
revived the old carpet Dagger" cry on
more than one occasion since annexa-
ton.
The plea of Unofficial Delegate Hart
| well and his official masters is merely
part of the personal campaign car
ried on under the banner Hawaii for
the Hawaiians and the Offices for our
selves" This is made more apparent
by incidents in the early career of the
unofficial delegate whom the local Off
cial faction upholds as an epitome of
Hawaii's official capacity and grandeur
The Pacific Coast Commercial
Record published on May /, 1892 a
special Hawaiian edition which in
| cludes long eview of the lives of
prominent men in the Islands. After
the usual custom Of special editions
these autobiographies had their price
and the text unqucstionably met the
approval of the men found In the list.
In dealing with Gen. Hartwell this ref
erence is found to his first arrival in
Hawaii:
After civil war, completed law
studies and took degree Of Bachelor of
Laws at the Harvard Law School. AZ
ter practicing for a year or two in Bos-
ton, received the appointment of First
Associate justice of the Supreme Court
of the Hawaiian Islands in July, 1868.
This brought him to Honolulu, where
he sat on the Bench until Kalakaua's
election in February, 1874, when he
LOOK the place or Attorney General In
kalakaua's first Cabinet-a place
which in few months he resigned for
private law practice, which he has
since continued, with the exception of
year and half as Attorney General.
in 1S77-7S."
Possibly the fact that the unofficial
delegate came to official position in
Hawaii direct from Boston, not Wash
ington, places him and his associates
In preferred position. In other words
the newcomer is all right II he joins
In with the official faction. otherwise
he must be n greedy politician" from
Washington and unworthy recognition
as an American citizen.

After reading Mrs Kings letter on
the Chinese boarding houses Of the
Plains, 1t seems hardly fair to visit all
the blame for the maintenance Of un-
slightly shacks upon the Chinese, when
it is the intelligent white man who
draws tue income from the rental of
these places. The Makiki Improvement
Association has lots of good work cut
out for It in advance.

With Beer Bottle.

Charles Poole was shot at Ocean
View yesterday afternoon at SIS
o'clock by james NJ. OConnor.
Charles Poole keeps bar at the
road house half way between the pow
or house and Ocean View. He was at
Ocean View, and while Quarreling with
O'Connor was hot in the shoulder. He
was brought to the house of friends in
Brambleton ward last night TO re-
ceive medical attention. He was said
last night not to be seriously injured
OConnor was brought to the city by
Detective Eastwood and lodged in jail
Speaking reluctantly to a reporter
for the Virginian-Pilot, Mr.. OConnor
said that he was busy behind the bar
when Poole approached, using the
vilest sort of epithets. They are un-
printa bic. Poole had been drinking,
O'Connor said.
He continued to abuse and villify
for an hour and n half. till, O'Connor
says, lit had become uncomfortable. but
turned to see that Poole had IL bottle
or glass in his hand. threatening to
strike O'Connor. O'Connor pulled his
gun and fired twice.
Then, realizing what he had done.
OConnor called to Detective East
WOOD, gave up MS gun and asked for
protection.
James NJ. O'Connor came here from
Washington several years ago. He
kept bar on Union street, near
Church, and another on Talbot street.
He owns the leases of both.
Recently he has been attending the
bar Of the pavilion at Ocean View.
O'Connor is a tall, slender man.
about 80 years old. with pleasant
voice and quiet demeanor.
He asked the reporter the condition
of the wounded man and hoped that
he was not seriously hurt.
He expressed profound regret at the
catastrophe, and says that he did
everything possible TO avoid the man
and withstand his fearfully abusive
language. He could stand that till he
saw Poole threatening him with the
beer glass or bottle from which he had
been drinking.
O'Connor says that he had no pre-
vious acquaintance With Poole, and
that there was no reason for the abuse
and treats that he endured.
O'Connor says that lie has no rela-
tives here. but says that he hopes his
friends will give their sympathy and
support to him.
