In letter TO the Astorlln, \. ".
Butt, captain and quartermaster OF tAc
government transport Lennox algs;
Il have Just seen the statement In your
paper that We had on hoard defective
pump, When seen by your reporter last
night | distinctly told him that the
pump was good one and new one,
but that we needed more pressure only.
He failed to quote me exactly and gave
the statement from some enc else who
did not know what he was talking
about. l am sorry to have to make
this correction. but in justice to all
parties concerned and to myself l take
the liberty of sending this by the pilot
and urge you to print 1t. We have three
fresh water pumps on board and simply
wanted two connected" Captain Butt
ls now on the bounding main, many
miles from Astoria, and II seems hard
ly fair to take up the guantlet he has
so ruthlessly thrust forth. The Asto-
rian is perfectly willing to accede to
his request and publish the "correc-
ton" but in reply must state that Cap
tain Butt not only made the state
ment substantially as published In the
Astorian. but expressed himself in
much stronger terms than those used.
Not only this but Captain Butt made
the statement, in the presence Of re-
liable witnesses who will bear out the
Astorian In every particular.

MORE DANGER.

AS time goes ont the prospects of Sam
Parker, the republican nominee for
delegate to, Congress keep increasing,
and now show him we'll in advance of
the other two candidates. Wilcox, who
at one time seemed to sweep the board
to the everlasting disgrace of Hawaii
and to the certain injury of her pros
poets for anything from Congress in
the way of harbor improvement and our
many other needs has been steadily re-
trograding. He has shown his greedy
hand too much.
1t Is daWning upon many of the Ha-
waiians and the sensible supporters of
the Independents that this campaign is
not for their good but for the good of
Wilcox. The Rag Time politician has
axes to grind. He thinks he has a
cinch on the crown lands. If there is
any question of compensation for crown
lands it is the eX-Queen and not Will
cox who should have it. But Wilcox
has no respect for any one, no regard
for any one-no faith to any one it is
nothing but self and self is beginning
to peep out so strongly that the indie
pendents begin to see and are falling
away into the ranks of both Democrats
and Republicans.
Were Wilcox elected it would be a
serious blow to our prestige at the
Capital. The men, who are interested
in Hawaiian affairs and to whom the
delegate would have to go in order to
get assistance for passing what neces-
sary legislation there could be got
through for the benefit of the Territory
know Wilcox and his history very WELL
1t is a most unsavory history, full of
intrigue, full of cOwardice, full of
chicaDe,. full of base political tricks.
The result is that as a delegate Wilcox
would necessarily be despised and the
Territory would be despised together
with him. Wilcox is a menace to our
prosperity and his election would
amount to a territorial calamity.

AN OBJECT LESSON.

The rain of yesterday was certainly
very heavy, but in the few hours of its
fall there was no necessity for the
streams to rise as rapidly as they did
In former times, say twenty-five OF
thirty years ago it required two or three
days rain before the streams piled UP
water enough to rush in flood to the
sea.
The reason for this is obvious. At
that time there was not nearly such
devastation of the forest lands and the
heavy rains when they fell, instead of
at once rushing off the bare hillsides
into the gullies, We're impeded and
trickled gently among the tree roots
and rank vegetation, which retained
much of the earlier part of the rains,
and only when all this sponge like
mass was saturated, did the overflow
reach the main channels and begin to
find its way to the sea.
The rain, when it falls now, has no.
thing to stop it in it's passage to the
natural channels, it falls as on gall
vanized iron roof and rushes headlong,
carrying with it tons upon tons of soil
and laying bare the mountain ribs still
more, until they will finally become as
denuded as they were when they rose,
in barren nakedness, out Of the lava
womb of nature cons ago.
Kindly nature in the lapse of ages has
clothed those gaunt rocks with man
eel of forest and ferns, grasses, MOSES
and brush wood How many thousand
years did it take her to complete her
task? Who can tell? And then comes
that vandal man and ruthlessly in a
short span of time undoes the work OF
nature and without forethought turns
the smiling garden into a Wilderness
hacking and slashing it without thought
or care, and then complaining because
of the results which he finds disastrous
to himself Yesterdays sudden fresh
cts were a lesson.

NOT IMPERIALISM.

According to the Republican Standard
a Democratic newspaper out south
said: There is no such thing as i'm
perialism contemplated by any party.
Legitimate and necessary expansion is
an accomplished fact; talk of imperfect
ism is arrant nonsense"
Still, when Senator Ransom sought to
win votes for the North Carolina con-
stitutional amendment, he said; we
intend to take the Negro out Of politics
forever" and in an alleged Republican
newspaper of the west the other day
appeared this statement: 1--WE will
govern them (the Philippines) without
any reference to their wishes" This
western newspaper grossly misrepre-
sents the Republican party and that it
has no right to call itself Republican.
Whether Senator Ransom is entitled to
speak for the Democrats must be left
for Democrats to say.
The point which is obvious in these
two utterahces is that, whatever may
be the intentions Of parties, there are
individuals who cherish the imperialls-
tic spirit, and who are using whatever
influence they can command to put 1t

The arguments brought forward over
the Marshall case are very interesting
and have called forth the thought of
some of the leading members of the
bar They also bring forth the fact that
the law is in many things thoroughly
indecisive, and that presidents and au-
thorities can be cited as cogentIy for
one side as for the other. According to
one set of arguments Judge Estee has
jurisdiction in the case, according to
another he has not, but Marshall has
a remedy in writ of error. and yet
both arguments are buttressed with
learned opinions of jurists and judges
all over the mainland. Law may be
excellent, but 1t is uncertain.
