Undoubtedly the Kanakas acted fool
ishly in voting for Wilcox Tor delegate to
Congress, but foolishness has never been
considered a sufficient reason for disfran-
chisemei.t in this country. Some mil
lions OF voters supported Bryan, and
thereby acted very foolishly indeed, in the
opinion OF the majority Of the
American people. but no ac-
ton looking TO their acknowledgements
is likely to be forthcoming. The best
thing to do with the Kanakas is to give
them another chance. Perhaps they
will have learned before another election
comes round, to perceive more clearly in
what direction their true interests lie. At
any rate, there ought to be no attempt
to restrict their suffrage until something
more dangerous has cropped out than has
yet appeared.

our state and nation, and for the bright
sun of hope, prosperity and confidenc 90

threshold of the coming year. We have

AS we understand it, Governor Powers
can only appoint probate judge 10 I'LL
out the remainder OF the unexpired term
which Judge Peabody Is now serving.
That is to say, judge appointed by
him could only serve to the first
Of January, when Judge Peabody's term
expires 1t will devolve upon Governor
Hill to appoint for 5he term TO which
Judge Peabody was elected in September.
This being the situation, 1t is thought that
Governor Powers may make no appoint
ment for the unexpired balance Of Judge
Peabody's present term. An appoint
ment will not be absolutely necessary,
for Judge Peabody need not resign until
he has qualified as supreme Judge, and
no great Inconvenience would result If he
did not qualify until January.

CURRENT COMMENT.
BEWARE THE BELGIAN HARE.
(Kennebec Journal.)

A note of warming co Eastern farmers
In relation 10 the Belgian hare fad is
sounded by Californian exchange OF the
Journal. That paper, published at Los
Angeles, points out the other side OF the
picture and shows the danger that lies In
the business 1t shows that the proper
tions reached by Belgian hare culture in
the southern part of California have re-
suited in conditions that alarm the
thoughtful.
The people have quickly become satiat-
ed with the hare as an article OF food,
and in consequence the price has dropped
SO low that there il no longer profit In
the business for the raissrs. But though
the demand ceases the supply does not,
for the hares multiply at a prodtgious
rate and their culture is much more
easily startsd than 1t Ia stopped. Now
that section is oyerrun with the hares
which ravage all forms OF vegetation and
particularly the vineyards. 1t Is feared
that 1t will become as bad as the rabbit
curse In Australia, OF the gypsy moth
scourgs in Massachusetts,, which had its
origin in the scientific investigation Of a
college professor. The warning Of our
Californian exchange should be needed
by our Maine people who are embarking
in the Belgian hare business. 1t III well
