According to the report of Consul
Everett of Batavia, the Java sugar
people are in a difficulty about packing
sugar. The matted bamboo, which has
been the means up to the present, has
given out, and the consul writes that
the planters can find nothing suitable.
AS the Hawaiian sugar is packed in
sacks that are imported from India,
there seems to be no reason why Java
should not use the same, at a less cost,
as the freight to Java must be lighter
But the Java planters say that what is
suitable for a voyage from Hawaii to
San Francisco, or from Cuba to New
York will not suit them with their long
voyage. The Javan planters need not
worry. Our bags go the long voyage
from Hawaii round the Horn to New
York, and there is never a complaint
about them. But being welded to mats
they don't like to take to bags.

TRANs-PACIFIC CABLE.

The Jill Shimpo points out that there
are difficulties about the laying OF
a trans-Pacific cable touching at Japan.
According to that paper a contract was
concluded some years ago between the
! Japanese Government and the Great
Northern Telegraph Co., when Japan
constructed a cable in the Fusan chan
mel, to the effect that the right of mon
opoly in laying a cable connecting Jap
an and her dominions with the contin-
ent of Asia, the Philippines, Saghalien
and other islands adjacent to the con-
tinent should be given to the company.
Owing to this circumstance, the Great
Northern Telegraph Company would
lay line to Formosa and there tap
might be bought out.
| However there is another route by
which this difficulty might be over
come. Should the Pacific cable have
a terminous at Guam, there is nothing
| in the agreement which would prevent
Japan from making junction at that
island by herself laying a cable by way
of the BONN group.
AS far as the Government line is con-
cerned, the main points which it desires
| to reach are the Hawaiian Islands,
Guam and the Philippines and for this
scheme the Geographic experts have
made their calculations and are ready
/ to go to work. There are means of
communicating with the Asiatic con-
tinent other than Japan. 1t is the priv
ate lines which are anxious to have a
line to Japan.
( AS things have been framing within
the last five weeks or a month it looks
very much as if the government cable
would have the pull. The Earring inter-
ests of the private bills have tenden-
cy to neutralize one another. There is
no doubt that the government must
have telegraphic communication direct
with it's Island dependencies and the
government measure will be the only
alternative. This is evidently what is
thought in naval and military circles.

KAHULUI.

An outbreak of plague on Maui comes
as a bolt from the blue. With us in
Honolulu, hope has run high during the
plague was approaching it's end, and
that within a comparatively short time
we should be pronounced an uninfect-
ed city and port. And now there comes
upon the Island community an attack
from an unexpected quarter with the
reason for it buried in mystery at pres
ent. What the discoveries of DR.. Wood
may be remains to be seen.
That Kahului should prove home
for infection, if the germs of plague
ever reached that delectable spot, is by
no means to be wondered at. Kahului
proper is a row of Chinese shacks quite
as bad as any in Chinatown. 1t
stretches in curve facing the sea, and
contains cheap restaurants low lodging
houses and opium joints which are
tumble down enough on the seaside,
but whose back yards contain a maze
of filth breeding pools, pig pens, and
lean-tOs such as the plague microbe
loves. Added to this there is a slaugh-
ter house some little distance away, on
the beach, and when the wind sets in
the proper direction, the celestial smells
are mingled with the odors of decay
ing offal which adds much to the sani-
tary conditions.
There are many insanitary spots on
the Islands, but few can beat Kahului.
What has saved Kahului from epidemic
has been the sand upon which it is built,
the strong wind which has swept all
ef1uvia across the barren isthmus and
the hot sun which is calculated to finish
up all microbes. But even natural ad-
vantages can eventually be overcome
by Oriental filth, and the latter has APP
parently succeeded.
In seeking for causes of outbreak of
plague we always regard it as having
come from abroad, and as fact have
every reason to think so, but there is
just bare possibility that such places
as Chinatown, Kewalo and Kahului
have bred their own filth disease, and
in investigating causes it is well to con-
slider this side of the question. Among
the causes now thought of is freight
that was taken up couple of months
ago, which was opened out at Chinese

The suggestion of P. c. Jones that the
funds put in his hands should be APP
piled to the purchase of tools for me-
chanics, and sewing machines for wo-
men is a good one. If the means to
earn a, livelihood are given, the liveli-
hood Vail be earned. Two of the camp
superintendents who have been been
spoken to on the matter agree that the
idea is thoroughly practical, and COM
mend it as the best way of applying the
money. The more chance there is given
10 revive remunerative industry among
these people, the better.

The illness of Armstrong Smith is
viewed with anxiety by all his friends,
and that includes the whole city. Mr..
Smith has done a noble and self sacri-
ficing work, and it would be hard in
deed, if, just as that work is over he
should be seized with the malady. 1t
is to be hoped that it will only prove
to be slight feverish attack brought
in by mental anxiety and overwork.
The physicians have, however, taken
precautions against plague.

ANOTHER TREATY.

In 1855 another treaty was enter
ed into between the United States
and the Choctaw end Chickasaw na-
tions, by which the land now in dis
pute was set aside for the use OF
homeless Indians, in consideration oil
which the United States paid the
Choctaws 5000 900 and the Chicka-
saws $780, 900. The terms OF this
treaty were further elaborated In
the treaty made eleven years later
between the government and the
Choctaw and Chickasaw Indians.
In 1891, when the Wfchitas and
affiliated bands entered into treaty
with the government by wsich the
lands in the Wichita reservation
were 70 b 4lletted In severalty to
the Indians and the residue sold for
the benegt OF nemberf Of the tribe,
the Choctaws and Chickasaws dis
| puted the claim OF the Wichitss and
affiliated baAds 20 the lands on which
they were living, basing their con-
tcntion on the treaty agreements re-
ferred to.
| The Wichitss and affiliated bands
contended that they held the title TO
the land in dispute by an original
occupancy. They asserted, there
fore, that the treaty Of 1920, by
which the Choctaws and Chickasaws
acquired title To the land from the
United States was illegal As the
Uuited States, however, has at al
times, held to the policy that lands
occupied by Indian tribes in terrific
ry purchased or acquired were sub
ject to disposition by congress, th'
claim OF the Wlchitas was scarcely
considered by the Court of Claims
in its decision. The case reverted
to the treaties of 1855 and 1866 by
which the tract of land now in dis
pute was ceded to the government
by the Choctaws and Chickasaws
The quesaion raised was as to whetl
er it was merely one of trust. Th'
decision OF the Court of Claims wa
that it was merely one of trust ant
it is expected that the tdecision o
the Supreme Court will sustain tn
orinion OF the Court OF CLAIMS.

the leased district of the Indian
Territory, lying between the
ninety-eight aud one hundredtn
merldians ofwest longitude. This
district contains 7,715.224 acres,
and is part of the country ceded
to the United States by France In
1903 in the Louisiana purchase.
The case arose out of agreements
entered into between the United
States and the defendant Indians,
by which the Indians ceded and
relinquished to the United States
their claim, title and interest In
the tract of country within the
leased district, and the United
States stipulated to allot the tract
in severalty to the Indians. The
agreement also provided for the
opening Of the lands for white
settlement.
When the agreement was pro
mulgated, the Choctaw and Chick
asaw Nations claimed that not
withstsnding an alleged cessior
of the land by them to the United
States, the land was held in 'rus'
by the United States for them
The defendant Indians denied
this claim and asserted an excln
sive ownership.
The Choctaws based their CLAIM
TO the lands on the treaty o
October Is, 1920, which provides
for the removal of the Choctav
Indians from Mississippi and Ala
bama and the cession of all theI
lands in these two states to th'
federal government in considers
ton of the tract of land in 1ndial
and Oklahoma Territories, whicl
included the lands now in dis
pute. By the fourth article o
that treaty the United State
stipulated that the cessiOn to tn
Choctaws in Indian and Okla

without alteration until the tim

The rah-rah boy is coming-oh, his hair is
growing long,
And he's shlyeTing the echoes with his
noisy college song.
He has decked his cane with ribbons of
the proper length and hue:
He speaks in strange and mystic slang that
seems unseemly new,
And he'll stand upon the bleachers when
the air is cold and raw,
While he splinters up the silence with his
Siss boom-ah!''
He studies comic sections and the Sanscrit
mode and tense;
He chats of ancient history, and makes one
feel quite dense:
He tells us what We're Shakespeare's faults
and what is wrong with Coke;
And-yes-oh, yeS--a stubby pipe he'll dlgnl-
fedly smoke,
And with a grave, impressive mien he'll
chant his "Rah-rah-rah!"
Likewise his "Brek-ek ek-ek-koaX!" Also
his "Siss boOm-ah!'
The rah-rah boy-he'll have his day--his
day of sound and might.
He'll also with vociferouS remarks shake up
the night.
He'll swing his cane and puff his pipe with
languid, base air,
And riot in Samsonesque display of
lengthy hair,
But most will he assail us with his fierce,
loquacious jaw,
The while he roars his "Rah- ral-rah!'' and
shouts his "Siss-b oom-ah"

| To the Editor of the Journal and Courier
| According to an editorial in a paper
devoted to "Fraternal Insurance" a
prominent editor whose name is given
| took out a fifteen year Tontine policy
| in life insurance company for $4,000
| For fifteen years he paid an annual
premium of $36460, When the Tontine
period was up he expected to surrender
his policy, and to receive for it the
tempting sum of $S,116, the Estimated
Results But in that he was disap-
pointed, and was compelled to accept,
as he says, ''the paltry sum of $A 469. 80"
The editorial conveys the idea that the
editor had been outrageously swindled,
but he was not; he was simply disap-
pointed because he did not realize fully
OH his absurd expectation. He was A
years of age when he took out his pol
icy, during the fifteen years he paid
S5,469 for his protection, and then re-
ceived back, as his equitable share Of
the reserve" and of the pooling"
SCHelHS, A4,4o5,oU, In tne END, Cnefe-
fore his protection for fifteen years
cost him but s99970, or but $66.66 per
annum on $4,000 or but 1857 per an
mum on each $1,000 on life policy!
Considered purely as an insurance
venture, the experience Of the editor
should have been very satisfactory, IL
he is reasonable man; but consld-
cred as IAN investment" thing which
life insurance never should be consid-
cred, except by fools, he was right In
his feeling of keen disappointment. TO
get what he actually got, many men,
just as good as he, had to lose what
rightfuly belonged to them. TO get
what he was led to expect by the Sc
ductive estimate" would have neees-
STATED the robbery Of many more.
Moral-If you are going to have
your life insured, proceed as an intel
ligent honest man should proceed, Be
ware of Estimates; get the exact
kind of insurance you want; get the
most you can of that kind for the least
annual premium, and expect nothing
not even one cent which Is
not specifically guaranteed to you in
the Text" Of your policy Then you
will not be disappointed SENEX.

One of the most foolish of the fool
election bets is that between two Cleve-
land men. If Mckinley is elect
| ed Smith has entered into a
solemn agreement that on Sun
day, November is, on superior street
in front of the Perry-Payne building,
where Senator Hanna has his office,
for six hours he will stand on his head
and hands. The terms of the bet pro-
vide that he shall stand in that posi-
ton in stretches of two minutes EACH
with an interval of one minute between
each stretch for rest. AS he is to spend
six hours actually upon his head, it will
be nine hours from the time the per-
Torrance begins until it is over. The
Perry-Payne building is just at the end
OF the big Superior street viaduct, and
is one of the busiest places in Cleveland,
so Mr. Smith will not lack for an au-
dience at his performance. If Bryan is
elected, Jones is to travel all the way
to Lincoln, Neb and on the specified
Sunday is to sit for nine hours in the
middle Of the street in front of the Bry-
an residence, clad in the costume of
Turk. AT intervals of three minutes
each he is to salaam with his face to the
ground, and in a loud voice cry out:
"Oh, great and good William Jennings
Bryan, I beseech ye not to refuse to a
time become our president"
