TERRITORIAL DAY.

The Advertiser hopes that the people
~ Honolulu and Oahu, and indeed Of all
the Islands. will observe June 18TH the
day the now American Government
takes control, with fttlng ceremonies.
II anything Is to be done, a committee
Of arrangements should be formed at
once. orders may have to be sent to
the Coast for fireworks. Speakers
should be given time enough to pre-
pare oratlons. II 1t is desirable to
ask the Navy Department to order war
ships here, as Is done on festival oc-
casions for the benefit OF Atlantic and
Pacific coast ports, then the sooner our
people move the better. But little more
than a month remains in which to per-
feet arrangements, and every day of 1t
should be put to good use
Now start the ball rolling, somebody.

MIR. DOLE FOR GOVERNOR

The reported decision of President
Mckinley to confer the Territorial Gov
ernorship upon Mr.. Dole is fitting rec
ognition of the faithful and conscien-
tious work which the Hawaiian EXecu-
tive has done for annexation in these
Islands. Though born in Hawaii, Mr..
Dole was reared in full sympathy with
the American idea of government, and
when the time came for an annexation
list movement here he naturally went to
tie head of it, risking his property and
life in the undertaking. In the succeed
ing months and years he faced many
crises, but he always bore himself in a
way to make certain the ultimate tri-
umph of American principles. That the
Stars and Stripes wave over Hawaii
now Is more to his credit than that of
any other single citizen of the group.
With complete proprlety, therefore, his
name was urged upon President Nc
Kinley for the Governorship.
But it was not urged by himself. Mr..
Dole made no effort to secure the office;
the Office sought the man, and found
him in the dignified and wise exercise
of the duties of Island administration.
We believe tat this appointment will
turn out to be of greater advantage to
Hawaii than even the most sanguine
friends of Mr.. Dole have prophesied.
ri, To hpi N
in capital and homeseekers is the as
surance of conservative government,
and while the Territorial Executive
may not be an official of large powers,
he will have enough influence to
make the personality of the incumbent
a fact of prime Importance in determin-
ing how fast Hawaii shall be built up.
A spokesman for Governor might have
arrested progress as completely as the
carpetbag Governors did in the South
soon after the war; conversely, Gov
ernor in whose wisdom, honesty and
experience every one must feel conf
dence will accelerate the pace.
The spirit of those Republicans who
have had other preferences than Mr..
Dole for Governor is now kindly, and
we trust will be kept 80 by means of
policy that recognizes all Republicans
who are honestly laboring for the good
of Hawaii, and all natives who are
ready to join hands in the same work,
as citizens whose voices have a right
10 be heard in the intimate direction of
affairs

been defeated at the polls. The first
time he ran was in 1882, the Demo-
cratic tidal wave year when even Penn
sylvania and Massachusetts elected
Democratic executives in protest
against the machine procivities of the
Arthur administration. Mr.. Estee's
high qualities did not count against the
anti-Republican mania. Twelve years
later Estee again headed the ticket but
was deprived of the Governorship by
successful fraud in San Francisco vot-

General Hartwell has been in consulta-
ton with the Treasury Department in
regard to the payment of the $iOo0.ooO
provided for in the Newlands resolution
The joint resolution for payment will be
introduced next week.
The Attorney General Is now consider
ing the matter OF the land sales, and the
franchise, and Is formulating n method
of submitting those matters to the Pres
ident for his approval.
During the last few days there have
been many inquiries by members of Con-
gress as to the men who would be APP
pointed to the Presidential offices. The
reply Invariably made by the representa-
tive of the Government and the CONNER
cial interests has been that they We're
not on any political mission so far as
persons We're concerned, and had receiv-
ed no instructions on the subject. The
comment by a member of the House was,
Don't you have any political machine?''
Rumors are about as to the states which
have been made up by those opposed to
the Dole government" but these repre-
sentatiNes have not taken the trouble to
verify any of them. Directions for wire
pulling were not found in their instruc-
lions. 1t has been assumed that the
President had his own plans regarding
appointments, and If he needed informa-
ton, would ask for it. The scrupulous
non-interference in these matters has ev-
identity strengthened the position Of the
Dole government.
The bill as passed is open to criticism
of course. So is nearly every bill Laws
of this kind must be compromises. But
Hawaii has now an organic law, and
must hereafter, work out her own sal
walton.
While the debate on the Postofflce bill
was In progress in the House, on Thurs
day, Mr.. w. o. Smith took a seat at one
of the tables in the House restaurant, at
which several members We're seated, and
with whom he was acquainted. There
was also Il mldlooking clerical person
a stranger-seated at the table. One
of the members said to Mr.. Smith, 1--WE
know you are all cannibals down in Ha-
wall, and we hope you will stop eating
each other up before we visit you" Mr.
Smith said, There never were cannibals
in Hawaii. but the natives did offer up
human sacrifices" The mild looking
clerical person looked up and said Yes,

balls" Mr.. Smith replied, Il was born in
these Islands and have lived there all my
life, and l never heard that there was
there" The mild man said,

News OF its Enactment ouie1iy Re.
ceived in This City.

N'iNou III ANS WY
The news OF the signing OF the Ter
ritorial bill created no special excite
ment on the streets late yesterday af.
ternoon. although but a few years ago
the receipt OF such intelligence would
have been followed by mass meeting
a salute Of guns and bonfire on
Punchbowl. People who heard the
news at all discussed It with interes,
but without signs of enthusiasm, due,
probably TO the fact that SO little doubt
had existed that the Territorial bin
would shortly become law. The ex-
pectad simply happened.
Friends of good government express
ed pleasure at the likelihood of Mr..
Dole's becoming the Executive, though
there were some who stouty contend
ed that Sam Parker had the better
chance.
A. 5. Humphreys states that the Act
will take effect on June 18th, 1t being
the official custom to exclude the first
day in the period Of waiting and count
the last one. A great celebration will
probably be arranged for that date

patch from Port Said. Count Rudolph
Festetics spent three months on the ISL

but stole 2.600 rupees and a brass cannon.
The Count landed everything possible
and then burned the yacht. which great-
ly incensed the natives. Thereupon The
black British subject In charge OF tile
lighthouse, fearing to be held responal-
Vie for his death, shut him up in the
lighthouse for a month until the arrival
OF the British freight steamer Blrch:er.
The Toina was not insured but a vast
collection OF curios was saved. The Count
will probably leave Port Said on Monday

The Porto Rlcan act has been SO
amended that all railroad, telegraph,

chises must be approved by the Presi-
dent, and provides for the effective
regulation of the charges of public ser
vice corporations land for the pur-
chase or taking by the public autnori-
ties OF their property at fair and

tinctly wise provisions, and seem TO
support the attitude of those persons

than it rules It's own cities. and would
put into practice in them laws better
and more enlightened and progressive
than those 1t enforces at home.

taken to indicate the future predomi-
