governor TO BLAME"

Having wasted four-fifths of the ses-
sion in monkey talk and Lady Dog
craftsmanship, the Home Rulers have
the impudence now to say that the fail
ure of the Legislature Is due to the re-
fusal of Governor Dole to extend it's
limit The situation suggests a fable,
to-wit:
The manager of a Great Estate, hav-
ing been directed by it's Owners to per-
NIT the Tenants, for the space of Sixty
Days, to draw on the Common Reser-
voir for Irrigating Purposes, was COM
PEELED to Sit BY and see the Tenants
squirt water at Each Other and at Him
while they pledged each other to Drown
Him Out later on and Submerge the
Estate. Having nearly Emptied the
Reservoir without Irrigating an acre
of Land, the Tenants begged for Thirty
Days More, so that they might use up
the remaining Water for the Common
Good. Upon the Manager of the Es-
tate pointing to the Ruin the Tenants
had wrought and to their former
Threats and Preparations to make More
Ruin, and Saying that their Time Was
Up, they Crashed their Teeth and Ac-
cused Him, in Formal Resolutions, of
having Conspired against the Irrigation
Interests of the Country.
Moral: Don't make a Ninety Day
Note with a man whose Sixty Day Note
has gone to protest.

JUDAS JOURNALISM.

The attitude of the anti-Dole press
since the Legislature convened shows
how hollow and insincere were the pro-
Ifessions of Republican fealty which 1t
made before election. AT that time
the corrupt little Bulletin-which Is al
ways ready to sell its principles for a
nickel and then cheat the buyer in the
price-was talking Republicanism as If
lit had been hired to do it by the day,
which was perhaps the case. 1t adver-
| tised itself as the only simon-pure,
name blown-in -the-neck of-the-bottle
Republican in Honolulu, save Humph-
lrey's morning organ, and that followed
the Arizona schemer through all his
career of false pretence as a Republic
can seeking office, and then, after he
got the office, it followed him out of the
party, along the scent of the spoils, to
the Home Rule camp.
Since the Legislature met, neither
paper has had a respectful word to say
of President McKinley's appointees for
Governor and Secretary of the Terri
tory and of the Chief Justice of the
Supreme Court. Before that time both
journals did their best, by innuendo, to
defeat the friends of the Territorial adj
Republican Legislative ticket. When
one of them, Mr.. waterhouse, was
beaten, these double7faced creatures Of
|expediency chuckled audibly and spoke
of what the silent vote" had done.
Their files bear witness that, since the
opening day of the Legislature, every
proposal of the Republican Territorial
Government has been resisted and ev-
ID 4
anti-American Legislature supported.
The daily service of the renowned Bull
letin Calf has been to lick Wilcox's
boots and then run bleating to the Leg
islative udder for Home Rule pap. The
Humphreys Goat has done practically
the same thing; and the owners, of
both are trying to get more pap for
them by urging the Legislature to de-
mand, and IL possible obtain another
thirty days, in which to squander the
peoples money. Meanwhile they are
predicting with silly but vicious itera-
ton that, If the Governor does his
sworn duty In vetoing unwise, corrupt
or incompetent legislation, he will be
removed. Their owners were equally
certain that he could not be appoint
ed in the first place; and they know
just as much about the one contingency
as they did about the other. But what
an attitude for men and papers that
call themselves Republican.
Fortunately the treacherous course of
these journals is so clear to the party
that henceforth it will not take risks
from either. The Home Rule party can
have both for aught Republicans care,
either being enough of hoodoo to sink
the party barque in smooth sea-

EMMELUTH'S FAIRY TALE.

In the debate on the County bill last
night, Mr.. Emmeluth said:
The County bill will do away with the
poor man among the Hawaiians. From
now on he has a show.
Mr.. Emmeluth has some good quail
ties, but he cannot help being a dema-
gogue on occasion. When that occasion
comes nonsense flows from his lips like
dirty water from one Of the drain pipes
which it is part of his vocation to lay
Nobody else could convince Mr.. EN-
meluth that any form of constitutional
legislation, within the power of this
Territory to enact, could abolish pow
erty among the Hawaiians or anybody
else. 1.-The poor are always with u.s.
now as in Biblical times. The County
bill would make rents no lower. land no
cheaper, food no more abundant. en-
ploying enterprises no more profitable;
nor would it eliminate the laziness and
unthrift which has made the Hawaiians
the least prosperous as a race, of the
peoples that are assembled
here. All 1t could do would be to create
offices in which such creatures as those
in the Legislature who have accepted
private brides and wasted s45. 900 of
public money since the present session
began, could steal from the taxpayers
A few poor men" might thrive by this
for a time; but the new
Grand Jury system would soon en-
tangle them, and after that they would
have to eat the black bread of penal
servitude.
These are the rough-hewn facts be-
hind Mr.. Emme1uth's cloud of sophistry
about the poor man" and his chances
to get rich under county forms of gov
eminent.

them just about the time when they are
lat to broil He naturally wants high
price for the remaining ten, as he had
to feed fifty to get them. If he does
not sell the survivors while pullets, ne
will save, perhaps, six to lay eggs. This
kind of thing makes island eggs scarce,
and therefore high. Once solve the
eye problem and the poorest family
among us can have eggs for breakfast
and a chicken dinner on Sunday.
So good luck to the experiment sta

FOR GOOD OF AGRICULTURE.

The United States Agricultural Elk
pertinent Station in Hawaii promises to
be one of the most useful agencies of
public good which these islands have
gained from annexation. A part of it's
business will be to show the value and
the method Of growing certain unfamil-
lar crops, to correct mistakes in the
production of such agricultural yields
as we have, and to encourage all lines
of farm industry which are suitable
here, and the success of which is likely
to make living cheaper
There are three things in particular
which we hope the experiment station
will succeed in doing. namely! Provide
cure for the melon blight, stop the
intermittent taro disease and get at the
causes and cure of the peculiar eve
malady which sweeps away fowls raised
In these islands. Upon the latter in
quiry the department is now engaged.
Six or seven years ago Hawaii raised
luscious canteloupes and watermelons
In such quantity that the price was
In reach of all. Six cantaloupes-iuicy.
musky, sweet and INTERCHANGEABLE be
bought of any peddler for a quarter
Now good cantaloupe cannot be found
in the market, and any canteloupe is a
rare sight. One was displayed the
other day in a King street stall for
forty cents; and when opened it was
worthless. Tt ought not to be difficult
for the experiment station, with pos
sibly some aid from Prof. Koebele of
the Territorial service, to make Ha-
wall a melon country again.
The taro blight is the most serious
agricultural menace with the native
Hawaiians confront. Taro, as their
staple food, cannot disappear without
imperiling their existence as a race. 1t
may be that the so-called blight is a
mere result of careless CIVILIZATIONS: but
whatever the cause. 1t is highly i'm
portant TO have it removed. Fortunate
ly that is one Of the things the expert
ment station Is for.
On the face of 1t nothing could be
more absurd than an almost uniform
price of five cents apiece the year
around, for fresh island eggs. They
ought, 1t would seem, to be as cheap
here as they are in rural California,
where the price ranges from fifteen
cents to thirty cents per dozen. That

stranger with establishment. Yet when
one sees the slaughter that goes on in
a henyard when the eve disease pre-
walls, the logic of high prices for
chickens and eggs becomes apparent.

Generals are not quoted or referred to

the Independent got it's ideas Of Ameri-

STRUCK BY A FREIGHT TRAIN.
Douglas Wiley severely Injured
Near Freestone Station. Va.

Douglas Wiley, about twenty-three
years of age, was brought to this city
and placed at the Emergency Hospital
last night, suffering from a badly lacer-
ated arm and severe injuries about the
body and limbs He was struck by a
freight train of the Atlantic Coast Line
near Freestone station, Va. twenty-five
miles south of Alexandria.
According TO a report made by the en-
gineer Of the freight train, the injured
man was asleep on the railroad track
when the train struck him. He was
hurled from the track by the cowcatcher
Of the locomotive and severely hurt. The
freight train was stopped and Wiley
placed on board. He was taken several
miles father south, where the freight
met an incoming passenger train, on
which Wiley was brought to this city.
The ambulance from the Emergency Hos
pital met the train on its arrival at the
Pennsylvania station and the injured man
was transferred to the hospital.
DR.. Vaughan and others performed an
operation on the patient, amputatlnS ms
right arm above the elbow. He appeared
to rally slightly but his condition is Sc
rious. William Wiley. his brother. came
to this city with the patient and remained
at the hospital overnight.
Douglas was employed at a fertilizer
factory at Cherry Hill. Va said VIII
liam Wiley to a reporter. and recently
had TO work both day and night. He lost
much sleep, and it may be he was over
come by drowsiness and fell asleep on the

FRANKS OF A LUNATIC.
Runs Away with n Child and Fights
With Policemen.

BALTIMORE, May "A muscular
young man, suffering from arrangement
of the mind. created a great deal of ex-
citement yesterday on Liberty Street,
near German, by seizing a little girl who
was going home from school. carrying
her in his arms and then starting to run
with her. She screamed in terror and a
crowd soon gathered. He insisted that 1t
was his child. but the frightened little
girl cried out: THAT isn't so, 1 don't
know him" Edward Curiey, driver for
John f. Hurst & Co, took the girl away
from the man
PatrolmaR Garrity was attracted by the
commotion, and. realizing the condition
of the man. persuaded him to take walk
down German Street, Intending to escort
him to the Central police station. All
went well until Light Street was reached
On the pavement in front of the Car
rollton Hotel the man became enraged
and struggled yiciously in an effort to
throw the policeman down an open area
way Both rolIed around on the pave
ment until Patrolman Dougherty arrived.
Then the man was overpowered and taken
to the station.
No information. as to identify could be
secured from him by Lieutenant Schleigh
and he was locked up. A physician from
the health department was called in and
said the man was temporarily insane. 1t
was intended to- send him to Bayview
Asylum.
Later Joseph Koluski. who keeps a ho-
tel on Camden Street, near Eutaw, called
and said the man was John Balsavage
and that beShad stopped at the hotel. He
said the man mind had been affected for
some time and that while under treat
ment at st. Joseph Hospital he escaped.
Koluski had gotten as far Lombard and
Green Streets with Balsavage, intending
to take him TO the Maryland University
Hospital for treatment, when he became
frenzied again, and it was with difficulty
that the hotelkeeper could hold him until
he received assistance from n number of
patrolmt The Western patrol wagon
was summoned finally, but Baisavage
kicked and fought against going to the
stationhouse 1t required the combined
efforts of five patrolmen to put him in the
patrol wagon and take him to the Wes-
tern police station. He Gained down aft
er being locked up for several hours and
late in the night talked nationally. Ko-
luski sa 4 he would make an effort today
to haze aim placed in an asylum.
