about July when the thermometer
ranged high. AS rule we ct an
cient ancestry took rest in these
days. Hawaii which has p eTpetual
summer does not so far as our Rs
publicans are concerned take yaca-
tion but intends to drag out crowds
to increase tho present heat by a
torchlight procession tomorrow
night in honor of the republican de-
legates returning, aud to ratify the
nominations OF the warariors Nc
Kinley and Roosevelt. We think
the health authorities ought TO in-
terfere for the bacteria and baciili
from torches e1hucel from past
monarchical ages may be far more
dangerous than the loprous articles
OF our morning contemporaries
The Humane Society's official might
also interfere on the ground that
there is cruelty to animals in making
the republican elephant stalk
through the streets in such sultry
weather. In politics many pro-
misses are made and few fnlfllod. III
the attendance at the precinct clubs
last evening is to be an augury OF
to-morrow's parade we can congra-
tulate our rivals upon a rank failure
and split in the ranks.

The High Sheriff and his Deputy
were instructed to select suitable
persons to serve on the juries. The
Deputy High Sheriff is reported in
the official organ as expressing his
regret that feeling should exist,
that the color line had been drawn
in the selection of jurors in the fol-
lowing worlds:
"In selecting The names of the
msmbers OF the grand jury Marshal
Brown and ] tried to select the 5est
men possible. We intended to in.
clude in the list gu equsl number of
Hawaiiaus aud forelgners, aud we
went over long list OF prominent
Hawaiians, endeavoring to fiud some
OF them who could be eligible. But
in all cases we found that the men
who were qualified by their knowl-
edge Of Eaglish were in government
employ, or were members Of the bar
or we're otherwise barred from sit
ting on the jury. Some that would
hays been eligible were out OF the
city, others were i'll and in the
whole list we could fud none eligi-
BILE. All that we're placed on the
list were substantial citizens, and
such man as Mark 2. Robinson and
R. w. Holt are on the list so it can
not be said that we used any undue
discrimination"

THE FINANCIAL sTR1NGENoY.

Mr.. S. M. Damon in an interview
with an Advertiser man has advanced
some very interesting reasons why
there is such serious stringency in
our money market to-day. We have
read the interview with Mr.. Damon
very carefully but we admit frankly
that we do not understand what
the reasons are which caused the un-
warranted stringency. Mr., Damon
is reported as saying that "there is
enormous capital invested here on
the Islands in mills, machinery,
bitches, pumping plants, all Of a
solid and substantial nature, this
has oil been done by courageous aud
enterprising people," Quite true,
tho invested capital is ho-r--in ma
chinery, etc, Mr.. Damon also says,
"our credit has maintained It's level
by meeting these obligations
promptly" This in reference to
our imports figured at $9,000,000.
Aud we finally quote the following
paragraph from the interview:
"When in London some years ago
| had the pleasure Of meeting Baron
Rothschild, and in talking over the
affairs. of the Islands he asked for
the rates that were being paid, and
when | mentioned the rates, he
wanted to know il we were a solvent
country that could afford to pay
such enormous rates for any length
of time. That would, think, as l
said before, 60 to make more clear
that we have still very wide mar
gin for shrinkage to work on"
Now, we ask Mr.. Damon why our
money market should be crippled in
the manner it is when, in his own
words, it has Gan enormous capital
invested here," "a credit which has
maintained its level" and Every
wide margin for shrinkage to work
on" Under such circumstances
could not sufficient ready money be
obtained from Rothschild or the
Seligmans, or from some San Fran
cisco banks to relieve the market of
this mysterious stringency7 We
think it could but we do not for
moment believe it necessary to call
for money from abroad if our local
capitalists will only open the Golfers
and roll out the ducats needed to
relieve the business market but held
back-for purpose. We reiterate
what we have said before in our
columns that the real cause OF the
stringency of the money market is
the inflated value placed upon real
estate property by the owners. We
don't think with Mr.. Damon that
money spent in London or Paris by
Hawaiian capitalists cuts the very
thinnest ice in our financial condi-
tions. That our capitalists kick
against inflated values on real estate
is natural. They own great deal
of that commodity, and they prefer
the tax assessor to accept their valu-
alton of property instead of that OF
the man who wants to borrow. We
hope to see Mr.. Damon in the Legis-
lature and there expound his always
conservative and interesting views
on the question, chow to regulate
the local money market"

1t is pity that the first selection
OF jurors to serve on the grand jury,
or on the trial jury, should have
given occasion to cause misgivings

that the government of the terri
tory and its hired organs are draw

When The INDEp: NDENr remem-
bers the days OF '93 aud '95, and the
ensuing scares among the supper
ters Of the present administration,
and since then the various warnings
it has given to the divers govern
ments we have had, in reference to
the Chinese and Japanese, it must
confess that it is highly amused to-
day. BY this time Governor Dole
and Secretary Cooper must appre-
ciate that the whirly gig Of politics
which now ends in Washington, D.
G., is an unpleasant ignis .fG!uus to
follow. Accumulations OF charges
of misconduct on the part of the
Hawaii towards the Imperial
Chinese Government have already
been piled up there. Perhaps the
most unpleasant little diplomatic
pill that they may be compelled to
digest after q cabinet council re
past is that that they have per-
mitted, with full knowledge, o
revolutionary scheme to be fostered
in this country, and permitted it to
go so far that even the representa-
tive OF Americas "great and good
friend" in crisis has to ask for the
protection OF the local police force.
Hawaii is not England where poll
tical refugees could find shelter.

you ever come to your senses and
