from the trusts corruption fund
TO aid in electing these candidates
that was larger than the total OF
the sums expended by all political
parties combined. in the conduct
Of all previous presidential cam
paigns since the adoption OF the con
stltutioD.
The unfriendliness of the repub'
lican party to trusts has been de-
mostrated by the multiplication OF
these vast combines IN restraint OF
trade in the four years since Mr..
Mckinley became president, until
their teptacles now reach out into
every domain of wealth production
in the entire realm of business and
industrial activities and draw the
fatness and the fullness thereof into
the monopolistic trust nav! Re
publican hate for trusts is blazoned
in the fact that the steel, iron, sugar
coal oil, tin, glass, and the scores
ofother trusts have given assurances
to the political tool Of the trusts
who IS also the leader and boss OF
the republican organization, that
they are ready to contribute a sum
three to four times larger tban the
enormous slush fund used in the
election of Mr.. Mckinley, if such an
amount shall be deemed necessary,
in order 10 secure another four years
ofrepublcan administration.
The utter hostility of the republi-
can party for the trusts was shown
by Hanna in the Ohio campaign
last year, whom he declared on the
stump that they are private con-
Germs with which the public has no
business to interfere, and by Hanna
again when he threatened to block
legislation at the present session OF
congress unless right Of way were
given to his pet measure, the ship
subsidy bill, taking S200,0OO,000 Of
the peoples money out of the treas
ury and shovehng it into the pock-
cts of the Standard Oil company the
Pacific Steamship Mail company
and other ship owning and ship
building combines. 1t was once
more shown by Hanna in the senate
when he stood up aod insisted
that the exorbitant price Of
$3.50 a ton should be paid to the
armor plate trust, on the very day
and almost at the very moment
that his party colleagues in the
house were making. for strictly cam
paign purposes, a bluff against trusts
by advocating the Adoption of re
solution to submit constitutional
amendment to the country, giving
congress power--which it already
abundantly possesses to legislate In
restraint of these monopolles.
When the people assemble 10 vote
ON the trust question next Novem-
Der they will hardly be guided in
the casting of their ballots by the
assurances of Mark Hanna, or such
organs as the GIobe-Democrat. that
vote for the republican ticket
means club to be used in smashing
trusts

This may not be very interesting to the

the kind of people we poor soldiers have

have you bear in mind, the fact that two

Capitalization of Wealth.

Since the civil war wealth has ac-
cumulated in the hands Of the few
with rapidity unparalleled in the
history of the world, as IS shown by
the fact that at the taking of the
last census nine tcntbs Of the fami-
lies owned II per cent of the wealth,
whereas So per cent of our popua-
tion were so poor that they owned
altogether only per cent of the
wealth. And as further shown by
the disclosures brought out through
the Frick litigation of the enor.
nous earnings ofthe Carnegie com.
pany, and by the dividends decar-
ed by the Standard Oil Company
showing Mr., Rockefeller's income
to be about $75,000,000 u year.
This phenomenal accumulation of
wealth in the hands of the few is
increasing by geometrlcal proper,
ton, and, as wealth is power, it is
not q subject of wonder that the
rich have been able to seize the reins
of government and to administer
public affairs in their own selfish
interests; that they are exempt
from the burdens of taxation; that
their bonds are not assessed; that
the Supreme Court reverses itself
on the income tax; that the statute
books are full of special and exclu
sive privileges to the great corpora
tions; and that the land is cursed
with private monopoly.-Press

THE FUTURE OF HAWAII.
IN. Y. Evening Post.l

IN. Y. Evening Postl
1t seems impossible, to predict what
the future of Hawaii will be under its
new form Of government, for the rea-
sn which we have assigned, that 1t is
the mebodiment Of American political
theories. The suffrage is restricted to
citizens who can read, write and speak
English or Hawaiian, which seems to
leave the control Of the government in
the hands of the natives. But the Por-
tuguese and japanese are very numer-
Gus, and II they choose to qualify, they
are numerically able to take control.
The American element will be ap-
parently in the situation of the white
people of the South after the Civil
War; but 1t Is improbable that Con-
gress will tolerate the expedients by
which the Southern whites have estab-
lished their supremacy. Commercially,
the future Of Hawaii depends on the
sugar Industry, and no one can tell
whether that industry can be carried
on without contract labor. The history
OF Jamaica Is full of warning. 1t may
be repeated in Hawaii; but the admin
istration of the government by Con-
gress is less satisfactory than 1t was
when they had it in their own hands.
Evening bulletin. [volume] (Honolulu [Oahu, Hawaii]) 1895-1912, 1900-05-25

Honolulu's burning policy is certain
ly upheld by the experience Sydney is
having with the plague epidemic. At
the first outbreak, Sydney officials were
disposed to go slow with the work Of
destruction, until each week added an
increased number to the list of victims
and the epidemic spread to outlying
cities and towns. The officials have
now begun destroying infected houses
and wharves, which amounts to prac-
tically the same thing as Honolulu's
fire brand work. The latter in fact ap-
pears as more complete as well as
thoroughly effective.

FOR THE MUNICIPALITY.

While the Territory is giving itself
over to party organization, celebra-
lions and theatricals the people should
not lose sight of the fact that they have
a campaign for the organization of a
municipality to consider. Nor should
time be wasted In theoretical consider
alton when the situation calls for ac-
ton.
At the present rate of progress, Ho-
nolulu will find itself postponing ac-
ton from month to month until the
regular session of the Legislature in
February. The Legislature will be ex-
pected to act with the chances excellent
that the members will have no express
sion Of the people on which to base
their action. The practical result will
be the stormlng of the Legislature by
supporters OF various theories, the
enactment Of charter acceptable to
no one or the postponement of the
whole matter till another session.
Owners of property in this city can
not afford to run the risk Of legislative
failure to grant a charter through
present Indifference or waiting policy
prompted by the lack of time business
men have to devote to general public
interests. Mercantile interests as well
ms civic pride for Honolulu as one of
the progressive cities of the United
States demand that no time shall be
lost In securing an expression Of pub
discussion Of the form of charter that
shall be requested Of the Legislature.
The initiative should be taken by the
people and that without unnecessary
delay. II the best interests OF the city
are given proper place in the midst of
the present rush Of business life, an
election Of freeholders to draft Homo
lulu's city charter will be one of the
first non-partisan electoral events in
the history Of the Territory. The peo-
pie having nothing to gain by delay
but everything to lose.
With the party organizations nearing
completion, the time is approaching
for the people to turn their attention
to the topics which fall within the
province Of the Municipal League. AS
benefciaries of American expansion
and progress, we must keep up the
pace, and never allow the development
OF the city Of Honolulu to listlessly
drift in tropical civic doldrums.
