And That Is Right Too.
From the Hilo Herald.

The sentiment against sending
money to Honolulu for a memorial
to the late President Mckinley. ua-
less the design be for a statue or an
arch, is growing daily. The people
here have no objection 10 contribut-
ing toward the attractions of Homo
lulu in that wav while assisting in
keeping green the memory of a great
man. But if a playground. a flower
market or a hospital ward is to be
built they decline to assist And
their argument is god within the
past week two men have died in the
hospital in Hilo. who had it not been
for the kindness Of friends at a time
whea funds were needed. they would
have been deprived of medicines and
attention. Hifo has no place to send
charity patients who are i'll though
there NAV be everything at the hos
pital that is required By men with
money to paw for it. If a hospital
ward is to be Suilt in memory of Mr..
Mckinley the funds raised fer the
purpose bv the people of this district
had better be expended for an insti-
tuition of that character where its ben
efits NAV be enjoved.

Things Demonstrated.
from the Hilo Tribune.

FROM the Hllo Tribune.
Whether Governor Dole has resign.
ed or whether he has not: whether
Governor Dole is to be removed by
President Roosevelt or whether he is
not; several facts have been proved
as the result of the belief that one Or
both of these circumstances should
occur.
1t has been made clear that the
policy pursued by Governor Dole
since the annexation of this Terri
tory is totally unsupported by the
people of this Territory with the sole
exception of the small coterie who
derive direct benefit from his contin-
uance in office and his weak and help
less management of the same.
The numerous newspaper articles
pressing the merits of Judge Gilbert
F. Little as the proper man to succeed
Mr.. Dole. have sounded public opinion
to the bottom. The response has been
one of unanimous approval without a
discordant note. The friends of Judge
Little have been more than pleased
TO find that the public places an esti-
mate upon his qualifications and fit
ness for gubernatorial honorS equal
to the high opinion in which he is
held by neighbor and intimate friend
Even Judge Titles enemies are ready
TO admit that he is a man who will
do things. And everywhere in this
Territory there is a clamor for the
performance of deeds and a PRAYER
that the period OF official hamilton
and deCaT may soon come TO an end
Judge Titles sterling Americanism,
his recognized integrity and ire
proachable character as a private cit-
izen. his energy and ability to perform
prodigious labor. and his. courage to
enforce needed reforms are recogniz-
ed on every hand. Whether called
to executive duties or left to perform
the work before him as Judge of the
Fourth Circuit, Judge Little may rest
assured that he possesses the full
of the people of Hawai-.
who would not hesitate if the power
were vested in them, to demand with
their ballots tina, re spend four years
or more as tl,ir executive servant.

"A trip to Waikiki" as presented
by Ernest Hogan and his company of
comedians. scored a big hit at the
orpheum last night. before a large
audience.
Like most farce comedies. the piece
does not possess much of a plot. but
serves as a vehicle for a lot of clever
people to display their talent. The
piece opens with a scene in front Of
the Hawaiian hotel, the assembled
characters appearing as society BUDS

Mansfield in "Beaucaire.n

An event full OF the largest measure of
attractiveness is the appearance next
week at the Academy OF Music, Balti-
mere, of Richard Mansfield in his recent
great hit, "Beaucaire. The new play
is comedy in FIVE acts by Booth Tark-
ington and Evelyn Greenleaf Sutherland,
To these two American writer's belongs
the distinction OF having supplied our
distinguished actor with his most delight
iul comedy success since the days when
Beau Brummel and Prince Karl first de-
lighted his audiences. BeaucaiIe has
come to stay and take his place in Mans.
geld's gallery of portraits, not to fret his
season on the stage and then retire.
The happy hit has more of the quality
of permanency than anything Mansfield
has done. This is because Beaucaire
gives Mansfield something on which TO
fasten his art. II is character in a
fascinating story, not puppet in poem.
The Prince who was mistaken for a
barber by the smart set of Bath when
Beau Nash was imperator, gives a wide
play for humor, wit, repartee, and senii-
ment. The jest is on Beaucaire's lip
but the perfume of Lady Mary's red, red
rose fills his heart and iDtoxicates him
with love that fashions a romance
which has delighted all who have reac
il. Mansfield is said to have anew hi!
unique gifts tor portraying the royalty O
prince, the consciousness Of a swell, and
the romance Of lover.

Cruelty To Animals.

The city authorities will! necessarily
take some action, if they do the right
thing, to prevent countrymen who come
to town, from tying their horses in the
street and permitting them to stay tied
all day exposed to wind and weather,
and without a morsel of food or drink.
This happens daily and on Tuesday last
the Sheriff was appealed to in behalf OF
humanity to horse that had stood on
College avenue from early morning until
night, while the owner attended court
and did various other things, unmindful
of the comfort of his beast. There are
numerous livery stables where, for a
small recompense, the country folk can
leave their teams while in town. Church
circle is regular horse stable some days
in the week, and the streets are no place
for animals to be tied up for hours.
Aside from the cruel feature. the matter
needs attention.
