OVERLOOKING A TRICK.
[Hilo Tribune.l

1t seems to us that the Territori Al
Central Committee OF the Republican
party are hardly giving this island due
credit for the voting strength 1t really
possesses, II one Judge their belief by
their attitude. 1t would seem the fact
that during the past six years there
has been practically no vote outside
Honolulu has blinded them to the
change of affairs under the new condl-
lions OF the franchise, which gives to
nearly every Hawaiian the right to
vote, where formerly voting Hawa-
iian was the exception.
Sam Parker needs the vote on Ha-
wall, and he needs II badly, unless we
are very much mistaken, but he isn't
going to work the right way to secure
1t when he makes one trip to the island
and assumes to cover 1t with a few Ave
minute speeches between Kawaihae and
Hilo and few more from the deck Of
the Mauna Loa at Kona ports. It Is
about time that the party managers Of

from appearing in court The case was
then nolle prosd, Judge Wilcox re-
marking that those who kept witnesses
from appearing were subject to a Sc
we're penalty. He referred to the school
teachers who refused to allow the girls

Chas. Haffernan,s appeared in the
Police Court this forenoon on the
charge of passing bogus checks on Ka-
uai. Attorney Creighton, appearing Tor
the defendant, stated that the latter
declined to plead and waived examina-
ton. Hafferpan was thereupon COM
pitted to the Circuit Court for trial.
Sheriff Brown then read charge OF
assault with intent to murder Charles
F. Chillingworth. The same course
was followed In this case. G 2N.I
With the exception of the shor,
space of time he was in the Police
Court, Haffernan was kept handcuffed
all the while.

cause they want the few dollars they
receive as pay and men who may be
bought for more or less and you defeat

What Gen. Cronje viii do with his big
guns during the retreat, which now
seems certain, is n matter of much in

carried off by the Beers: IL only semi
mobile, they probably will fall into the
