THE DEMOCRATS.

The Democratic party has common
ced to organize. This was but natural
after the Republicans took the field;
In the ranks of the Democrats are
found men who have been strong ana
nexationists, just as in the ranks of the
Republican party. While the struggle
for joining ourselves to the Great Re-
public was on, the political differences
of men on these Islands were sunk, and
we made one united front for anneXa-
fion or a united front against it.
That the future politics of the Terri
tory should go on the party line of the
mainland is a foregone conclusion. The
only thing that is open to argument is
whether it is wise to organize upon
party lines at once or for local pur
poses The Republicans set the exam
pie of organization and naturally the
Democrats have followed. Both parties
have gained some Hawaiian support,
but the large mass of Hawaiians have,
up to the present, not manifested their
preference for either party; and there
is an effort on foot to have a purely
native party. 1t is quite a question
whether such a party will materialize,
for the Hawaiians are not united in
political thought.
There is ample time before elections
occur to do some good political think
ing. What we need primarily is good
men to conduct our affairs. The next
Legislature is all important. Upon it
will rest the duty of adjusting our
finances to our new environment. Our
chances for future public improve
ments. the working out of our road sys-
tenn the improvement of our school
system the management of our various
public institutions, Will depend upon the
financing ability of the members of the
Legislature. There will be no guiding
hand and voice of a Minister of FL
nance. The members will have to
wrestle with the problem entirely them
selves.
1t is then, most important that the
men elected should be able men, capa-
BILE of grasping a sound financial poll
cy. During the past few years, the able
MANAGEMENT of S. NJ. Damon has put
We must have men in the Senate and
in the House who will show as great
financial ability as he has done. Such
men are not all to be found in the ranks
of the Republicans, any more than all
are in the ranks of the Democrats.
They will be found in the ranks of both
parties, and it is men of this caliber
which it is to the interest of every in
dividual voter to see in the halls of the
Legislature.
We are now trial, as it were. We
have, every individual voter, far more
influence upon whether the Territory is
run i'll or well than ever we have had
previously in the history of the Islands.
If things go wrong we have ourselves
to blame. If foolish legislation mars
our prosperity it will be the fault of the
people themselves. There will be no
government to blame. The Legislature
then is all important; the problem how
to get a good one.

The outcome of the case, connected
with the attempt to kill Consul General
Canavarro, is satisfactory The sus-
pected men are obliged to put up a sub
stantial guarantee for good behavior
for one year, and If they cannot put up
that guarantee they will have to spend
the time in JAIL There can be very little
doubt but that the right parties in the
outrage have been found. But even
giving the men the benefit of the doubt,
as to the outrage, there was ample evil
dence of threats being used, and it is
for that, and not for the dynamite out
rage, that the pair Of rascals are held.
The men are now being taken care of,
and the chances are they will remain
in care of the prison authorities for some
considerable time. 1t is very unlikely
that their countrymen will bail them
out, especially when they have express
ed themselves in such unequivocal
terms as yesterday. The Portuguese
as body resent the outrage committed
upon their consul general.

LONDON, May -, 3:20 A. M.-When
Lord Roberts wrote his first dispatch
on Transvaal territory yesterday, short

was 81 miles from johannesburg and II
from Pretoria. His immensely superior
forces had passed the Vaal river, their
last great obstacle, at three points.
The Vaal forms curve OF 80 miles on
the west to Zand Drift on the cast.
Thus Lord Roberts. advancing along
the railway, was in position to strike
any part OF the crescent by shorter
lines than those by which the Beers
could reinforce the threatened points.
The Boers retreated almost without

Three hundred Beers tried feebly to
hold the Nercenigeng colliery but were
dislodged.
The Boer rear guard is at Moyerton,
ten miles south of Vereeniging. Their
main body is moving toward the Kip
river hills that cover the south side of
Johannesburg.
The troops have been splendidly
handled, and the Beers, completely out
maneuvered, have been forced to aban-

ance of the British Ranking force, which
has made a determined resistance at
the Vaal impossible.
Many Transvaal burghers are now
trekking homeward, and 1t Is safe to
say that the most irreconclable Trans
waller at least recognizes the hopeless
ness OF the struggle. Most of the farms
in the northern part of the Free State,
where the ties of blood with the Trans
