cupics the Time OF the Senate.
At the conclusion Of Mr.. Turkeys speech
on the Quay case in the Senate yesterday
the Hawaiian bill was taken up, and Mr..
Cullom. who is in charge OF the measure.
offered some amendments, among them be-
ing one eliminating the property quaiifca-
ton OF voters in the Territory
Mr Tiliman argued in favor of the
amendment proposed by him last Saturday
to substitute the suffrage clause Of the
South Carolina Constitution for the provi-
sion relating 10 that subject in the pend
ing bill. He declared that the South Caro-
lima provision ia much more lenient thar
that proposed by the committee. in that il
allows o man to vote who could not read
and write. il he paid taxes on property
worth S3Co. He twitted the Republicans
with attempting to do that for which they
were blaming the people Of S0ulh Caro-
lima.
When a vote was reached on the amend
ment striking out the property qualiica-
ton. Mr.. Tillman demanded the yeas and
nays. saying that lie wished to put the Re
publicans on record in the matter II re-
suited: Yeas, 80; nays. 1 (Nr. Platt of
Connecticuu. An amendment was agreed
to which limits the terms Of the supreme

LITTLE'S LATEST BREAK.

The refusal of Judge Little of Hilo to
accept the services of Chester Doyle as
interpreter was couched in offensive
language towards Chief Justice Frear.
Judge Little. who is even smaller than
his name implies, wished it to be
known that Judge Frear was not run
ming his court" AS the Chief Justice
had not tried to run" the so-called
court of the Hilo politician but had
merely conformed to Island usage in
giving il the benefit of the services of
the official interpreter of the japanese
language. the remark was in almost as
bad taste as the vulgar phrases lately
applied by Little to Hon. w. n. Arm
strong.
Nor is this all. The ermined shyster
of Hilo is said to have refused the SER
vices Of Mr.. Doyle because the latter
had once caught him plagiarizing from
a speech of Robert G.. Ingersolrs. If
this was indeed the cause of LittIe's
behavior IL reveals him as a man of the
most pronounced unfitness for the post
he occupies-a man of spleen and small
revenges, chokefull of prejudice and
gall.
However a political Judge must be
taken as he comes and he usually
is that Hawaii with so many able and
self-respecting lawyers. should have to
put up with such a creature as Little,
whose ideas of judicial propriety are on
a par with those of a goat

TOBACCO CULTURE.

We agree with a contemporary that
experiments i'm raising tobacco have
not been propitious in these Islands.
but we must suggest that, as the tests
were few and far from scientific in
their character, they are no criterion
of what carefully chosen soil may be
able to produce under the right forms
of cultivation. 1t is a mere truism that
tobacco which fails in one place may
do well in another, just as it is with
sugar. Tobacco raised on acceptable
ground by crude methods and again by
expert hands may present the differ
ences between the fine leaf used for the
cigar of the gentleman and the cuddy
pipe-flling of the NAVY. 1t all de-
ponds on the right combination of soil
and processes.
Obviously If good tobacco could be
raised in the Islands several things
well-worth the effort would follow.
Much money that we now send away
for cigars, fine-cut and smoking to-
bacco would stay here; agriculture
would be diversified and we should get
cigar factories. All this is worth striv-
ing for without respect to past dis
couragements.
The thing needed as preliminary is
Government Experiment station. The
average samll farmer cannot be ex-
pected to stand the cost of varied crop
tests; he cannot afford to meet the
actual outlay; he needs his land for
sure income. The Government realized
the conservatism of the farming class
/ when ii went into the experimental
business. 1t tried all the soils and
climates for given crops and when it
found place where a particular crop
would thrive, 1t notified the farmers
and showed them what to do. This
made new forms of agriculture, or
transplanted forms, a reasonably sure
thing from the beginning. The system,
II applied in Hawaii, would encourage
small farming as nothing else ever did
end. In the case of tobacco, afford a
satisfactory demonstration within a
year.
We are glad to announce that a Fed
eral Experiment station is a PROBABLE
ity and that a man will soon be here
from the Agricultural Department to
look over the ground.

BULLET THROUGH ARM.
Telephone n an Meets With Bad
Accident in Mauna Kea.

HILO, July 1.-THE Tribune says:
Fred Clinton, formerly manager of the
Telephone Central at Honokaa, met
with an accident last Tuesday, which is
likely to result in the amputation of his
right arm. He was hunting wild hogs
on Mauna Kea, between HumuuIu
Sheep Station and the Shipman Ranch,
In company with Henry Easton and
another party. He had just shot and
badly wounded a wild boar, and run
nlng to the animal raised his gun to
give him his coup de grace with a blow,
supposfng the rifle, which was a re-
peater, to have no more loaded cart
ridges in 1t. The usual result with un-
loaded guns took place and the gun was
discharged, sending a bullet through
the arm, SCATTERING the bone His com
panions got him TO the ranch and sent
Tor the nearest physician. The latter.
however, did not arrive for more than
twenty-four hours. and in the mean
time but little could be done to relieve
the sufferer. On Wednesday he was
taken to HOnOkaa

WAILUKU, Maui, July 13.-A very
their employment on the various planta-
tons on this Island. They seem to hav,
a notion that money lies on the streets
in Honolulu, and every steamer going to
that city is loaded with them. If the
same thing is happening on Hawaii and
Kauai the hotel keepers will reap a rich
harvest, but the poor deluded laborers, as
soon as they have spent their present
savings. viii have no recourse but to re-
turn to the plantations. At present they
seem to think they are, each and all, cut
out for bookkeepers, cooks, clerks in
banks or stores, and other employments,
which would enable them to live in the
whirl of delights which they are all firm

Indeed many people who are qualified
to judge, are of opinion that the coming
Legislature will be called upon to enact
more stringent measures than our pres
ent statutes provide. Petty lawlessness,
such as robbing fruit trees, cane fielus
and gardens, at first, and later on poul-
try yards and isolated country stores, will
almost surely result, if bands of loafers

Already on this Island there are indica-
tons pointing to such a state of things
and 1t is to be hoped the police authori-
ties will sternly repress any such tenden-
cies. Work is so abundant that the very
existence of some of the plantations is
now at stake for need of the necessary
| field labor. The rate of wages is now
very high. These men have been brough,

planters, to do this necessary labor. and
no sympathy should be extended to any
man of whatever nationality : who
pleads that he is in need through lack o.
