A CLEVER RUSE.

1t has just been discovered that the
Beers under Cronjes adopted a clever
method of concealing arms and ammu-
milton They first dug deep trench,
put in the warlike implements and then
put a layer of dead Beers. 1t was an
Australian who dropped upon the ruse
and there has since been considerable
amount of unearthing of corpses done.
A correspondent of a Natal paper thus
describes what was being done:
II saw some hundreds of trenches and
graves made to disgorge their contents;
and frequently what appeared to be a
dead mans last home turned out to be
but a clever ruse to conceal Pom-Pom
shells, or artillery ammunition of hea-
Yier calibre. In one place l was shown
a headstone which marked the hiding
place of some dozen rifles, a tin box
with clothing in 1t, and perhaps 200
rounds of Martini Henri ammunition.
Again, I was shocked to see this keen
arm-seeker ruthlessly shove foot
crowbar deep through a grave with a
wooden cross at it's head. L turned
away only to be shouted to, and asked
to Come here" / went.
First, out came an oilskin coat, next
(three feet from the surface) 1 saw a
long blanket stretched out on lot of
crossed sticks; while suspended from
the sticks, and carefully wrapped up in
oil and thick blankets, were three new
English Lee Metfords, a saddle under
them, and a bundle of photos-some
the work of "Hancox, Kimberly"
others marked wellington, &C" The
total dept of this grave was feet-good
hard, solid digging. I counted 200 ex-
cavations made by some energetic son
OF Greater Britain, who, I found later.
was helped by four others who hailed
from Australia.
Altogether thousands of rounds Of
ammunition and an enormous quantity
Of rifles and accoutrements were dis
covered, evidently put aside for future
use But it must have been a grim job
getting them up.

II Is not only the men who are directly
employed upon the plantations who win
be affected by changed conditions upon
them. Men who apparently do not do
stroke OF work for plantation owners
are dependent on them. Will ware
houses go up II there are no goods to
put in them? viii houses be built If
there are none to live i'm them? Win
the minor industries of small farmers
flourish If there is no one to buy their
product
The old residents here men who have
been half life time or so know what a
period of depression can be. There are
those who can remember the days fe-
fore the reciprocity treaty when money
was as scarce, to use a vulgarism, as
hens teeth. when there was no business
doing, when the schooner fleet was laid
up and the solitary steamer made no vo-
wages, and when a silver dollor was
rarity and gold an unknown but
dreamed of luxury. In spite of our soil,
in spite of splendid geographical posi-
ton, such a condition might come
around again, perhaps not so utterly
depressing as it was in 1871 and 1877,
but quite depressing enough to those
who have enjoyed the flesh pots of the
last few years.
Too much attention, therefore, can
not be given to the series of letters now
appearing in The Star. They are deal
ing with one of the most vital matters
in the Territory and they treat of a
subject which affects the interests OF
everyone in the community whether
directly interested in our industry or

The registration of Chinese through
out the Islands will be a considerable
task, though some considerable assist
ance ought to be obtained from the do
cuments in the old Chinese Bureau.
There are photographs and descrip-
lions of Chinese immigrants there
which should be invaluable in a case
of this kind. Mr.. Girvin who had
charge of this bureau for a number of
years, was most methodical and could
place his hand upon any required in
formation in moment.

Governor Dole considers well taken
the point raised by The Star that there
is to be a delegate to the Fifty-seventh
Congress chosen in November as well
as one to the Fifty eighth. The Fifty
seventh Congress was elected at the
general election in 1898. The members
then elected did not take their seats
until after March 4, 1899, being called
in special session then because of the
state of war at that time existing. The
first regular session of that congress
convened in December, 1899. The next
regular session of that congress will
convene next December. AS Hawaii
was not q territory in 1898 it was not
entitled TO a delegate in congress and
did not elect one. 1t is a territory now
and is entitled to a delegate in the
Fifty-seventn Congress. But the con-
gressional election in November is for
members OF the Fifty Eighth Congress.
Hence the necessity that the Governor
in proclaiming the general election shall
include call for a special election Of
a delegate TO the Fifth-seVenth Con-
gress, an unexpired term, as 1t were.

short one though we have been deprived
of a full bench for sometime. In fact
our judiciary has been suffering from i'll
health and has even now one member
who is too sick to attend to his duties.
The work of a judge is far more exact
ing than many people believe or have
any idea of. Not only is there a great
deal of actual mechanical work, but the
nervous strain is very wearing upon
an honest and honorable man, who
strives to do his duty and to further
the ends of justice to the very utmost.
The work in the highest court is per-
haps less exacting than the work in the
lower ones.

The employment of Hawaiians upon
the Lahaina plantation at wages of
one dollar per day is meeting with sue
cess it is claimed. At one time the
plantation laborers were nearly all Ha-
waiians. This used to be the case at
IIlupalakua, one of our pioneer plan
tations which has long gone out of
business. OF late years what with
leasing their kuleanas, and other ave-
nues of industry the native Hawaiians
have not figured much among the I'M
skilled laboring classes, though they
have always been in demand as team
sters, carpenters, blacksmiths and

Some one was talking about a Demo-
cratic sack having arrived. Is that the
reason why so many Democrats have
been swallowing Bryan. When a few
weeks ago, they would have none of
him. The strengthening power of a
sack is wonderful, no marter whether
the contents come from the Golfers Of
the Sultan Of Turkey or from Aguinal-
dos little pile, or from Dom Paul, each
of whom is credited with helping to
swell the campaign funds. The Demo-
crat who fingers the gold, puts it to
his nose and says with King Jams,
when doubloons came to him from d
very tainted source Non olet," it does
not smell.
