Man for man the members of the
journalistic profession are more than
the equals of that which Mr.. POLITE be-
longs to. They may not make as much
money, but they do more honest work
in every twenty-four hours. 1t is often
a custom to cast slurs upon reporters
and gatherers of views. The gentlemen
who devote themselves to the profession
Of journalism are painstaking in the ex-
IRENE, They strive to get at the truth.
If there is error in what they give to
the public it is not the fault of the news
gatherer, but it is the fault of the per-
son who supplies the news.
with reference to the labor matters,
which Mr.. POLITE feels so strongly upon,
the bare facts have been stated, they
might have been colored much more
highly than they have been. 1t is no
use hiding facts. If any such attempt
is made it is always found out, and the
mere fact of hiding makes the case
worse. Truth has never hurt any one
who has an honest calling. If Mr.. Pol
litz does not like the truth The Star is
sorry for him, and reserves it's own
opinion of him.
The following is Mr.. POLITE letter:
Our market here is not any too
strong, caused by the malicious and
false reports about the plantation and
the labor situation, coming from Ho-
nOlulu. All reports appearing in the
papers here dated from Honolulu, bear
strong tendency of righteousness and
i'll will, and we do not think it good
taste on the part of a reporter down
there to do his level best to injure the
community in which he is living, and
you gentlemen who are interested in
the promotion and welfare of the Ha-
waiian Islands ought to look into the
matter and find out why he persistently
sends up reports which are substan-
TALLY incorrect
This is quite a serious matter, and if
not stopped now, VIII certainly drive
people away from your investments,
instead of coming to your assistance
with money.
1.-THE reports which were sent up
about the Paauhau fire are a tissue of
falsehoods, and the origin ought to be
looked into. ...'
Another report appeared in the pa
pers about the serious disturbance on
plantations caused by labor troubles"
You and others down there know that
the labor troubles will be bridged over
in time and disappear; unfortunately
the parties who are maliciously sending
up these reports cannot be bridged
over nor will they disappear.
while we address this letter to you
personally, we would ask you to give
it as wide circulation as possible, so
that the guilty parties may be properly
called down"
with best regards, we beg to remain,
yours very truly,
EDWARD POLITE & CO."

COMBINE.

The necessity of combination against
the Wilcox forces is becoming more and
more apparent as time goes on and the
election draws near. The plain unvar-
nished way in which the rag time poll
tician has come forward as a boodler,
pure and simple, as a leader of a party
which is out for all it can get, and
which cares nothing for whether the
territory advances or not has had it's
effect upon the minds of all who have
the interest of the Territory at heart.
At the outset of our career we cannot
afford to make so costly a mistake as
Wilcox and Co. will entail. At a later
stage apathy might need such a lesson.
At the present time it is absolutely vital
that we should avoid such a pitfall as
this. Can we avoid it? We are right
on the brink as it were and 1t Will take
the greatest care and a strong hand to
pull up. But there are many of us who
have been through crises before, and
who are ready and willing to sink indi-
Vidual differences in order to reach
needed results.
At the present time we must have
unity Oh action. IT may De granted JndC
1t would be a good thing to have a Re
publican sweep in the Territory, as
against the efforts of the Democrats.
AS Republican paper The Star would
have fought it's good fight for that
cause. But we now have a danger
which menaces Democrats and Repub-
licans alike, and that danger must draw
them together into a solid phalanx.
The speech of Robert Wilcox on Wed
nesday night was an insult to the citi-
zens of the United States 1t was an
insult to every man who has the proud
ancestry of either Europe or America.
1t was a challenge to down everything
honest and honorable in the community
How are those who are descendants of
Americans and Europeans going to be
downed by such a man and his parti-
sans. One trows not. What ever our
differences may be as to policy, this
must shine out that no such plan as
Wilcox has outlined shall be carried out
and no such gang shall have control of
our Legislative assembly. We want
cleanliness, honor and ability, not filth.

WANTS CALLING DOWN."

R,1ward POLITE writes letter to a
member of the Stock Exchange in
which ne undertakes to score the Hoo
nOlulu correspondents of the San Fran
cisco papers, He claims that these
gentlemen are sending reports which
show righteousness and Ill will" Mr..
POLITE, however, does not mention what
particular paper on the coast he re-
fers to, but seemingly makes a sweep
ing assertion against all correspond
ents.
A morning contemporary, common
ting upon this, says in effect that cor
respondents must supply what the edi-
tors at the coast want, and implies that
highly colored accounts are what are
needed. This seems to The Star untrue.
Journalism is an honorable profession.
There may be quacks in it as there are
in medicine, or the church. But the
bulk of men working upon newspapers
are honest, hard working, and in many
cases highly cultivated men. To say
that the Honolulu correspondents Of
the coast papers have "a strong ten
dency to righteousness and Ill WIN is
rank absurdity. They strive to the best
of their ability to state the honest truth,
If the honest truth is unpalateable that
is not their fault. 1t is an unjust re-
Election upon honorable men to have
such d slur cast upon them.
Now, let US look at what Mr.. Pollitz
complains Of He says the reports of
the Paauhau fire were "a tissue of
falsehOOd." AS he does not supply the
accounts" in his letter one cannot
judge of what he is talking of, but GER
tainly the Paauhau fire occurred. He
adds that the origin ought to be look
ed into" Anybody will agree with him
that the "origin ought to be looked in
to-" 1t has been a matter of police in
Vestigation.
Next Mr.. Pollitz finds fault with the
correspondents saying anything about
Tabor troubles" He confesses the
labor troubles" by his statement that
"You and others down there know that
the labor troubles will he bridged over
and disappear" The correspondents
have merely stated facts, and their
statements have been made upon in
formation furnished by some of the
principal managers of the Island sugar
plantations.
Edward POLITE is a professional stock
broker and belongs to the "bull'' side OF
that trade. In his business he is accus-
toned to make statements of a very
rOeaata here What he wants "a Posv
accounts which would boom the stocks
he has to SELL He would willingly sup
press facts If by such suppression there
might be a raise in the market. The
naked truth is not what. "bull" stock

ments of facts Mr.. Rollitz Is out aspers-

The Puma people are beginning to ex-
press the iAalienable right of destroy
ing forest land even when it has been
expressly stated in the lease that 1t
should be preserved in part. Yesterday
attention was called to wantom des-
truction which will shortly occur in
North Kohala. If we ever get legis-
lature which will look out for the in
terests of the Territory, we shall have
a forest preservation law which will
bring these gentry to their bearings.
There should be a careful revision also
of all government leases and no cattle
should be allowed upon the public forest
lands. There are several places where
such is occurring now, and the sooner
a stop is put to it the better. We cam
not be too careful of our forest lands,
they are the life blood of the country.

Because people go on the spree at a
luau given by any one does not affect
the giver of the feast or his party,

the deaths of three people at Kailua
says: These people went to luau or
feast given by Prince David on Satur-
day the sixth. understand that liquor
was free and Burgers and his people
who are all given to excuses in this
line probably took more than was good
for them" 1t was not the fault of
Prince David or the Democratic party
that these people misused what was
supplied. If there was any liquor of
course it was free. for the Democratic
candidate was not going to violate the
law by selling it, The case requires in

Why Col. Murphy Resigned.

Col. John Murphy recently sent his
resignation as a member of the Board
of Directors of the Virginia peniten-
tiary to the Governor. 1t was sur.
prise to Gov. Tyler, and he returned it
with the request that he.reconsider it.
Col. Murphy's reasons for resigning,
as expressed in his letter to the Gov
ernor were to the effect that the
Board had transacted the affairs Of the
prison with an eye single to the inter-
est of the State and welfare of the
convicts. Investigation had showed
that the State of Virginia got more
money from her penitentiary than al
most any other State in the Union.
The contract with the Shoe Company
was made because it was believed to
be to the best interests Of the State and
was continued for the same reason.
Then Col. Murphy says, if in view OF
these facts the Legislature at every
session is going to get up bill OF COM
plaint and have an investigation OF
this matter, rather than be bothered
any more about it he prefers to re-
sign. Col. Murphy is about right. The
contract is bringing net revenue
from the prison of $50, 900 a year.

has little cough and general feeling

No: that doesn't necessarily mean con-
sumption, but it means that the system
is being steadily undermined; it is
losing force and vitality; it is being
tainted with bilious poisons that the liver
hasn't power to throw off and any day
that which is now only probability may
suddenly develop into certainty.

A Novel Case in Nansemond County.

Judge w. ]. Kilby has decided case
whose uniqueness and novelty have
aroused considerable local interest.
The court virtually says that, when a
person deposits an amount to another
PERSONS credit in order to draw a sum
covered by an excessive check, the
amount so deposited must be consid-
cred as gift and cannot be recovered
in subsequent suit.
E. L. Folk was given check for
S152 by ]. F. Joyner. Both are mer-
chants. When the check was present
ed for payment it was found that there
was only $82 to Joyner'ss credit. ln
order to get that much Folk deposited
$40 to Joyner's account and drew tht
whole. He then brought suit to re-
cover the $40. The court regarded th'
matter in the hight of a compromise OF
Folks part, and held incidentally tina
the method used to procure the money
was not proper.
