ural address of Sanford b. Dole as
Governor of the Territory. 1t is away
and above the treaty of annexation and
the public land laws of the United
states of America, all of which are of
about the value of so much white pa
per. The point Is that when Congress
passed a very explicitly worded resolu-
tion that the lands of Hawaii should be
a part of the American public domain
those insignificant and il-informed
male servants of the American people
did not know what Mr. Dole's inaugur-
al address was going to be. He could
have told them but he probably did not
want to say much at the time or to let
them know that he was going to have

BROWN OFF
FOR THE EAST

j. +. Brown, Commissioner of Public
Lands for Hawaii, departed for Wash
ington last evening by the Alameda.
He intends to have u conference with
the Interior Department relative to the
status of Hawaii's public lands. He
believes that important questions
which have come up can better be
handle by personal tIlNs than u.
of time between tie arrival and GcEac-
ture of steamers.
He will put himself in a position to
answer all questions concerning the
public lands here and submit general
and specific information which may be
required by the departments.
Mr.. Brown took with him a recently
completed map of the Island of Ha-
wall and win have il autographed in
Washington. 1t was prepared in the
Survey Office and is complete revi-
sion of the official map of 1886 which
was drawn by w. A. Wall.
The new map is scaled 10000 feet, one
inch. j. NJ. Dom, who was formerly
connected with the L. S. Coast Survey,
made the map.
The Grown lands" will be explained
to Congressman as to what the term
means. Whatever legislation on the
public lands of Hawaii is proposed,
Mr. Brown hopes to have an opportun-
ity to be heard upon it.

THE DEMocRACYS PLIGHT.

Senator German, I'm speaking Of the
outlook for the Democratic Parry, SAYS
that the defeat OF Mr.. Bryan is so over
whelming that its Significance cannot
be misunderstood. The Senator cons.d-
crs this a fortunate circumstance and
adds that there can be no question as
to the honesty of the election as an eX-
preston OF public sentiment
There Is proposed reorganization OF
the party In n way to adapt IT to the
trend of Americanism which may lead
TO entertaining results. Ever since war
tlmes the Democracy has been moving
up to occupy the same ground as the
Republicans. In the campaign Just
closed the Democratic leaders taCitly
agreed TO get out of the free trade
quagmire and approach as near as
practicable, without being seen or heard,
to the rock OF protection. 1t is safe
to say that they will not, in this gen
Grafton. lead a backward march to the
tariff policy Of Grover Cleveland. Sill
yer will be abandoned and it is not in
conceivable that the Democracy in 1904
will point with pride" to the Jackson
ian time when 1t stood for an honest
dollar. As for expansion the chances
tnat our TRENDS tne enemy WIZ t%ul'
in 1t four years hence are far better
than that they will take the hazard Of
old fortunes against so patriotic and
popular n measure.
And then what difference can there
be, save upon the point of sincerity, be-
tween the Republican and Democratic
parties? Very little indeed. However,
the Republicans need not worry over
that prospect for If the Democracy is
compelled to ratify the cardinal princi-
pies of Republcanism there Is little
doubt that the people will continue to
sustain the men who were first to illus
tIate them.

The main features of the month
were the two storms; the one a heavy
northerly gale from the 9th to the
18th, prevailing over the entire group,
and probably the southwest side OF an
extensive storm; and the other
Kona or outh-southwest storm, of the
nth to the 18th. Although Honolulu
is on the exposed side of the Island
for such storms, still the high land
back of the town deadens the force
of the wind, so that this is a sheltered
port. The wind was severe on Maui,
especially on the isthmus. 1t could
hardly have been the same storm as
the one at Guam, which took place
only two days earlier, and could not
probably reach here in that time. The
heavy rain storm of the 25th extended
over the whole group, but was light
on Kona.
There was a heavy swell on Hawaii
coast during the first week of the
also two days before the Kona
storm. CURTIS j. LYONS, 1

1t now appears that President Jor-

from delivering his proposed address
on Imperialism before the Iroquois Club

economic views and che proposes to
have her university impress them on

who imagines that Stanford ep-
pointment gives him freedom IF

superior claims OF capital on the hui

Stanford by the first mail or perhaps
by telephone Likewise Mrs. stanford
insists that her political opinions shall
