PUGILIsTlc POINTERS.

Macon says Fitz claims that his
dame hand is now fully restored to use
fulness, burt am not so certain his claim
is justified by the facts. don't mean to
infer by this that he is willfully prevar-
dcating. He may think that his hand is
as good as ever it was, and there is a
possibility that he is right in so believing,
but as I have said before in these COL
nmns 1 have my doubts about broken
hands and injured arms ever being re-
stored to their original good condition,
and 1 also have my doubts as to the men
who possess limbs SO injured ever hav-
ing perfect confidence in them again.
For this reason, as well as for the fact
that I know that Fitz has passed the 40
yea line I do not consider that he is
within 20 per cent. of the puglMst he was
when he fought Jim Corbett at Carson
City. 1t doesn't stand to reason that he
should be. 1t is the law of humanity
that a mans physical powers Wane after
he reaches the shady side of 40. Rubin
ami Sharkey have at least dozen years
advantage in youth over Fitz. Never
theless, these matches will attract great
attention, and both will draw big money.
I have no faith in the published state
ment that the fighters share of the re-
ceipts will de divided, rs per cent. to the
winner and % per cent. to the loser.
Nowadays there are so many secret un-
derztandings and arrangements that
published statements of how the gate
money is to be divided cut very little ice

The impulses of a baseball audience
were thoroughly shown in Cleveland
game at Indianapolis. During the con-
test Gray and Buelow collided at first
base and both were toppled over. Bue-
low was the first to regain his feet and
rushed up to Gray. The spectators
thinking he was after the Indianapolis
first baseman, began yelling for Cantil-
Ion to put him out of the game, and
called him "rowdy," "Tebeau' and
"tough." AS a matter of fact this is
what Buelow said: "Billy, I didn't see
you when you came down the line and
didn't mean to bump you. Did I hurt
your" And Gray came back in this
style: Didn't see you. either. or would
have got out of the way. 1 wouldn't
bump any one, much less a man who is
already crippled" Yet the crowd was
ready to have Gray thrown out of the
grounds because of the accident.

PROSPECTS.

A good many people think that the
Democratic party is winning the wan
ing Wilcox vote. This is not So A
large number of the Wilcox men are
coming over to the Republican side, and
in spite of all the buster now being
made by the Democrats, the Republi-
cans are steadily gaining ground
The danger of the Territory lies in
the scratching of the tickets. Each
party has good men on it's ticket Each
party has weak men on it. The weak
men are more likely TO pull votes than
the strong ones. That is the strong
men, the men who are likely to give
us good legislation are not as popular
with the unthinking voter as the weak
er men, and the trouble will be in the
removal of good names, and the keeping
of poor names on both parties.
However, as fact, it is very difficult
to predicate how the election will go.
Even the most astute politician must
be in doubt. If the voters consider the
best interests of the territory they will
vote the Republican ticket, and they

candidate for delegate. To send any
one else than Colonel Parker as dele
gate to congress would be suicidal
Sam Parker's qualifications for the
position are Overwhelmingly in his fav-
or. We have need of every dollar that
We can get towards our public improve
ments, and we want a man who is
versed in affairs at Washington, and
who has access to every one of weight
in the capital.
Colonel Parker's personal relations
with the President are of great value,
and his knowledge of so many senators
and representatives will be of the great
est value. While Prince David may be
a very estimable young man, he has
neither the knowledge of affairs nor the
political weight of Colonel Parker.

apartment not more than three voting
shelves at or in which voters may con-
veniently mark their ballots.
such shelves shall be so arranged
that in marking ballots thereon, the
voters may be screened from the obser-
walton of others"
Now as is clearly pointed out
with only three compartments for
marking ballots it will be impossible for
800 voters to mark their ballots dur
ing the polling hours. At the rate of
one minute a piece there could only be
$50 votes cast in an hour. And there is
no doubt that it will take more than a
minute per vote to get the ballots
marked properly.
The question is whether further
shelves can be erected, over and above
those provided by law and whether a
ballot marked upon such shelves would
be valid, or whether the election would
be invalidated If It was marked in any
other place than one Of the balloting
compartments. In point of fact must
a man enter the balloting compart-
ment. 1t seems as if he must for Sec
ton 1O1 of the law says;
mo voter shall exhibit his ballot to
any other person, nor shall any person
look at or ask to see the contents of the
ballot of any voter When r voter
is in the ballotfng compartment for the
purpose of marking his ballot, no other
person shall - = be allowed to enter
the compartment or to be in position
from which he can observe how the
voter is marking his ballot"
Again it is expressly stated in Section
SO that upon receiving the ballot
the voter receiving the same shall forth
with proceed into one of the compart-
ments provided for the purpose and
shall then and therein mark his ballot
in the manner herein prescribed. He
shall then refold the ballot or ballots in
the same folds as it or they were in
when handed to him by the Inspectors.
$50 (and it or they shall be imme-
diately dropped into the proper box or
boxes by such inspector"
From all this it does not appear as
IL NY any nelHou VI reasoning tneTe
could be any way out of the difficulty.
The essence of the law is the balloting
compartment. The ballot must be mark
ed in the balloting compartment and no
where else. There can only be three
such balloting compartments.
1t certainly seems to be very seri-
Gus snag. Exactly why the law pro-
vided not more than three voting shell
YES is not clear, but it is clear that with
only three voting shelves, 1900 voters
will not be able to cast their vote with
in the time limit.

COLLAPSING.

The Wilcox boom seems to be suffer-
ing from a very serious depression. The
memory of Wilcox's many failures in
the past seems to have cropped up and
to be considered by the Hawaiians very
seriously. At first he seemed to have
a clean sweep before him, hut follower
after follower has left him until he
seems almost bare of leading Hawai-
fans i'm his forces. Upon this Island
some of his strongest supporters in the
past have left him. One of them re-
marked the other day that Wilcox had
led him into two serious scrapes, and
that he would not be led into any more.
He Joined the Republicans and took an
influential following along with him.
Certainly if the Hawaiian looks back
upon WilcoX's past career. he cannot
find much to pin faith to. He was edu-
Gated at public expense and has failed
to make any use of that education. In
Europe he represented himself to be
the son of the King, which he certainly
was not. Since his return he has done
nothing for the people he claims to
work for. He has neither striven to
elevate them, or to lead them to higher
political or social ideals. In point of
fact his career has been one of self
seeking from first to last, and it will
continue such to the end of the chap
ter.
Is there a political party of the past
that he has affiliated with and then not
betrayed? He has been anti-annexa-
Zionist and has then signed the rolls of
the annexation club He has been roy
alist and has betrayed royalty. He
calls himself Independent today and
now that his followers are leaving him,
he will as likely as not, get under the
skirts of either the Democrats or the
Republicans, if they will only promise
him something He aspires to lead, but
the result has been that he has always
led at the tail end. There is no wonder
that upon careful thought the Hawai-
ian discredts Robert Wilcox The Won
der is that he ever gave ear to his
claptrap phrases.

A SNAG.

AS we go along we find more and
mere how our laws are inadequate to
meet our changed conditions. And it is
this very fact which makes it so i'm
portant to have a Legislature formed of
men who will be capable of passing
laws which we so sorely need. There
never has been time in the history
of the Islands when they stood in need
of ADLER men than they do now, and
with all our efforts we shall be lucky if
we get sufficient number to guide the
legislative tendencies into the proper
direction.
Elsewhere is pointed out a defect in
the election law which is liable TO have
serious consequences in precincts
which have large number of voters.
In one 1t is said there are 1,5O0, and it is
shown that it will be physically impos-
ible for the voters to record their votes
during the hours that the polls are
open.

BANKING PANICS

The San Francisco Call in a recent
editorial congratulates the country by
reason of the fact that it safely wealth
cred the Christmas money panic and
calls special attention to tn fact that
bat for the helping hand Of the New
York banks there would have been
appalling disasters in the financial
world. If the Call editor does not
know that the banks created the
money panic in order to shake down
bunch of stock secur ties that they
might gather them in at reduced rates,
he should retire from the editorial
desk and give the stock market re-
porter a chance to warm the tripod.
He doubtless however knew perfectly
we'll the real condition of affairs but
attempted to hoodwink the public
whom he must have regarded as ex-
ceptionally gullable
There is now combination of
bankors and capitalists in New York
who have formed the greatest money
trust known in history. They have
over seven hundred milllons in the
pool. After every thing was arranged
satisfactorily the trust experimental
with its machinery by creating a
Dk,0h chAa1 thu
cial centers of the world. In a few
days the interest rate on Money rose
to over 100 per cent. For several
days the vibrations Of this financial
earthquake pxlsated over two cent?
nents. They called On the United
States Government to assist them in
a1ting their panic and Mckinley
astened to place Secretary Gage at
aei1 disposal. When the panic was
its worst the trust stretched forth
its hands and stilled the tempest with
touch. The rush to unload securi-
ties poured millions into the Golfers of
the trust and now Congress i, about
to investigate the part the Govern
ment took ia the scheme of robbery
and is calling on Gage to explain.
He could make fine defense reading
to Congress the Call editorial and
say that he was merely Doing bust
ness with the trust to help stop the
panic. This tremendous aggregation
of money fostered by the Republican
party and assisted by a Supreme
Berch who tnrottled the Income Tax
law, will make AMI step other panios
