JUDGE KAULuKoU.

Judge j. l.. Kaulukou was introduced
by the chairman to speak particularly TO
the natives in the audience, and In Ha-
waiian he sad in part as follows
My Fellow Hawaiian Citizens: ] hope
you have listened well to all of these
statements by the various speakers and
that you understood what was said. Now
all ! ask of you is that you take 1t all in
to your hearts-that you remember all
OF 1t. 1t has been said by some men
from the Islands that have gone to the
Mainland that most of the Hawalians
have not Joined the Republican party and
those that have done so have been paid
to join 1t. ] say to you that that Is not
50. say to you that there is not one
Hawaiian In the Republican party who
was bribed to join 1t. We Hawa!ians who
are in the Republican party are men
whom you know well, who have served
the Islands In the past and have always
attempted to do what was best for them.
We resolved to join the Republican party
because we believed that that party
would treat the Hawaiians the best,
would treat us as equals, / earnestly
urge all Hawaiians to Join the party
which We have Joined. l ask you serious
~ to think It out and when you have
done so i think you will find the wise
course to pursue will be to join the Re-
publican party. When election day
comes around. don't vote for the men
who are not wise and in whom you have
no faith, but for the men whom you know
to be proper persons to govern these ISL
ands. We urge you to vote for the Re-
publican nominees, for we understand
these things and we believe that the Re-
publican party will give Hawaii and her
people the best government.

The indignation of the government Of
ficials in this city over the decision of Judge
Brown, in New York, in the case of Capt
Carriers alleged accomplices will be shared
by all citizens who have thoughtfully fol-
lowed this case. When the former officer of
engineers was convicted and sentenced to
dismissal and Imprisonment the overwhelm-
ing demand was for the prosecution of those
individuals whose tool he had been formal
Is declared to be, who mulcted the govern
ment by means of his duplicity and fraud
and who We're supposed to be enjoying the
profits of their dishonesty and his. Action
was begun in Atlanta, where the frauds
were constructively perpetrated, and the
case was well forward when 1t became
necessary to secure the presence of the in
dicted persons. Application to Judge Brown,
federal district judge in the city of New
York. was made, and it is his denial of this
application which has excited the indignant
comments OF the Department of Justice
authorities now cited. II is asserted by the
solicitor general that steps will be taken
to nullify this decision, No time should be
lost before pressing such an enterprise to
a conclusion. 1t has suited the purpose of
certain interests TO charge the administra-

contractors went far toward reassuring the
public that the government did not intend

II were possible to avoid it. Now comes
Judge Brown with a decision which tenn

highest legal authorities of the government
as Outrageous" Still the intimations are
sent forth that the administration is irving

1t is difficult to conceive why Senator
Mason should have objected yesterday to
the Immediate consideration of the resolu-
ton introduced by Senator Gallinger, de-
signed to ascertain whether 1t is true, as
reported, that public school teachers are
now being punished by the school authori-
ties for the testimony they gave in the re-
cent investigation. Such an inquiry should
be ordered upon the first suggestion of a
need 1t is scarcely to be credited that the
superintendent and the supervising princi-
pals-f any OF the latter-havo so far ig-
nored the principles of justice and of self
protection as to engage in a campaign of
retribution for the statements of some of
the teachers. conscientiously made in re-
Spouse to the questions of the investigating
committee. Those statements were ELECTED
only after solemn pledges were given by
the committee that no witness would be
permitted to suffer in consequence of evil
dence offered. Such a pledge was neces-
sary in order to permit the committee to
reach the truth and to secure all shades of
opinion. Mere theorizing by outsiders is of
little value compared with the actual ex-
perience of the workers.
The higher school officials should be the
first to demand an investigation of the sug-
gree of retaliation upon the witnesses. 1t
Is to the interests of all concerned that the
nervous apprchensions of the teachers
which have perhaps been unduly aroused
by insignificant happenings and words
should be at once allayed by a sweeping ex-
animation of the case and disclosure of
how far the official pressure has been ap-
piled. If it be found that such pressure has
been unpleasantly felt, of course, it is 20
be assumed that prompt remedies will be
prescribed. But in Cny case it Is highly I'M
desirable that the teachers be thrown into
a state of panic by rumors of retrbutive
actions The school work is just now at its
most important point. The final term of
the year is about to begin after the Easter
holidays. To permit the teachers to fall into
panic of apprehension through dread of
rcprisals would be to spoil much of the
work of the whole season.

to persuade the nation that they are better
acquainted with the situation than are
trained observers on the spot
Captain Longs description Of the poiiti-
cal conditions is suggestive. 1t shows how
fallacious are the claims that the Agui-
naldo movement is a great popular upris-
ing in the name of liberty. 1t shows
further that so-called Independence" un-

ism than was ever possible under Spain.
Here is great land owner who literally
controls a large number of young native
men In time of peace he exacts rentals

them to the trenches and makes them

others. which have represented the insur-
gent chiefs as forcing the lower classes into
the ranks and holding them on the firing
line with threats OF death.

A serious suggestion is contained in the
bulletin received today that Lord Roberts
has reported to London the capture of five
companies of British troops at Bethany
That town lies on the railroad about thirty
miles south Of Bloemfontein. At that point
the line crosses a stream by means of IA
bridge The capture OF a garrison at this
point, therefore, may mean that the Beers
have succeeded in cutting Lord Roberts
line of communication by piercing through
his southern guards. Whether they have
done more than to sweep away the garrison
after destroying the bridge does not yet ap-
pear. But this much they may be expected
to have done. The mere fact that a force
large enough to capture five companies
managed to get so far around to the south
shows that the British comma nder has not
such a strong hold on the Free State coun-
try behind and abreast of him as was first
supposed. Indeed this circumstance sug-

The generous devotion which Davis pro-
iesses to forlorn cause is hardly consist
ent with that love of self which leads a
nan to practice the ingratitude toward his
friends and benefactors which has been
proven against Davis. AS q matter of fact
Davis IL the victim of that Wanting am
bition which overleaps itself. He was not
content to occupy the post Of assistant Sec
rotary in the Interior Department To bor-
row an expression from Mr.. ingalls,. he be-
came 'sweiled up to the point Of incon-
ceivable humidity" and wanted 20 be the
whole thing. Secretary Hitchcock very
properly objected and Davis had to go The
estimate in which persons are held in the
community where they live and where they
are best known is the one which is verified

was expected in Kansas City when he went

Likewise when people with the grip

Now vegetation fresh will grow

But to the drug store we will go
