There Is nothing better politically for
the Hawaiians to do than to become
Republicans and Democrats, as other
Americans are. The attempt to have a
party of their Own was foredoomed to
be a failure. They are in peril, how
ever, of being made the tools of con-
scienceless adventures who want to
use them for Purposes of which they
know nothing and by which they would
fare badly both as politicians and as
people. That the Wilcox-Humphreys
deal is purely mercenary in its aims is
patent to everybody who knows the
men

In conversation last night the Rev.
w K. Azbill drew the attention of a
representative of the Advertiser anew
to the fact that The Honolulu News.
DR.. Mitamura's paper. which is said to
be philanthropic enterprise, is taking
a strong stand in favor of stamping
out the evil of involuntary servitude in
this Territory for which japanese more
than all others are responsible. This
is most creditable to the doctor and to
those who support him in it, and we
have taken pleasure in giving our read
ers extracts from his paper in our issue
of the 18th, that full credit might be
awarded our law-abiding Japanese
friends. So far, SO good. But if the
better class of japanese in this coun-
try wish to convince the general public
that they are in earnest when they adj
wise the stamping out of slavery. for
example, let them go before the U. S.
Grand Jury and tell what they know
about 1t. That they know enough to
convict certain toughs who are operat-
ing in our midst, all believe. That these
Japanese gentlemen of W rthy inclina-
tipns have not the courage to lend their
aid. is also believed by many
We shall be glad to see and to make
public any evidence they will furnish
us of their sincerity. And the sooner
the better.

The local experiment station, of which
Mr.. ]. G. Smith is in charge, announces,
through the Advertiser, that 1t has a
variety of seeds which will be freely
given to those who want them for
planting. Some of these seeds are of
forage plants which might prove de-
sirable to farmers and dairymen. 1t is
the purpose of the experiment station
to ascertain what Hawaii can raise to
advantage in the way of shrubs, plants
and trees and introduce them here. The
service promises to be a great help to
island agriculture, much of the present
work being unscientific in it's methods
and profitless in it's results.

The Advertisers expose of the VIII
cox-Humphreys scheme to work" the
Hawaiian politicians for the personal
advantage of the two conspirators and
their haole friends, came like bomb
shell in dining room. The most ri
diculous exhibition was made by the
vealy little Bulletin which ran scream
ing to Wilcox saying: Tell them it
isn't so, tell them it isn't so,' while
Bob, always complaisant when it comes
to yielding up a fib responded: ..Of
course it isn't. Why l don't know
where Mr.. Hum-what's his name? oh
yes, Mr.. Humphreys lives 1t was
difficult, under the circumstances. for
Wilcox to recall the name of his polit-
zeal sidepartner without being prompt
ed, and this, the Bulletin assured it's
hundred and fifty subscribers. was
proof, strong as Holy Writ, that the
story of the deal was false. AS further
assurance on that point,Inight possibly
be needed, Wilcox was quoted as saving
that he did not care who held the local
offices. Think of that! AS His Lord
ship Bishop Willis sometimes remarks
in the heat of controversy: What nm

We shall rely upon secretaries Niche
ula and Caypless to return the desks
and type-writers, paid for by the Ter
ritory, which were delivered at their
private lodgings. Not for moment,
of course, would we suggest that they
intend to keep them, but in the rush
and furry of Honolulu life they might
forget the fact that the Territory is the
owner of the property And let us sug-
gest to Secretary Meheula, who prob
ably never posted himself upon the in
tricacies of a typewriter, that it is not
a toy for children to play with; also
that the desk cannot be used to the
best advantage as kitchen table. The
Territory, when it gets back it's chat
tells. would like to find them in good
condition.

The Board of Health acted with good
judgment in not letting the soldiers
from the infected transport come
ashore. There was no more reason to
take risks from them than from civil
ians. No assurance of safety to the
people of Honolulu went with the pro-
position to house the force at the Ka-
lihi Detention Camp as that immediate
locality has rather large population
of natives and Asiatics who take such
diseases quickly and carry them far.
Bayonet guarantees are not very eff
fective against the germs of smallpox
What is needed is a wide intervening
zone of water or land. We are badly off
in these respects at Honolulu, but
would be worse off If we had to take
infected people to our wharves, carry
them on our railroad and lodge them
within the inhabited limits of the town.

Woodstock Plant to Add to Pig
 Iron Output
TO BE PUT IN CONDITION
Information Comes from Anniston That the Owners of the Furnace Are Making Preparations to
 Put Them in Blast.

News comes from Anniston that the two Woodstock coke furnaces in that city will be put in first-class condition and started up at an early date. Some time ago J. W. Woolfolk of New York, representing the owners of the furnaces, was in Anniston and stated that he would take charge of them and put them in blast. Since that nothing more has been heard of the matter until a few days ago. It was stated that kilograms have been received from New York stating that repair work is to begin at the earliest possible moment.
 It Is probable that every stack in the State that can be put in condition will be in blast by the early part of summer. The condition of the iron market is more en- couraging that it has been for a long time, and those in position to keep themselves in- formed claim to be of the opinion that there will be no relaxation in the market at any early date. No ropid advance in the price is anticipated, but the demand is expected to continue firm. The weekly pro- duction at the present time is about 50,OO0 tons less than 1t was year ago, but there is no such decrease in the consumption The stocks on the yards throughout the coun- try have been constantly decreasing for the past six weeks and the indications are that by spring there will be but little surplus metal in the country.

Brother of Pat Grove Taken Into
 Custody.
WHILE ASLEEP
Caught by Omaha Detectives in Coun. Gil Bluf-Report that "Pat" Has Been Caught in South Da-
 kota is Discredited.

Omaha, Neb., January 1.-The first ar-
 rest in the Cudahy kidnapping case has
 been made. J. J. Grove, brother of Pat
 Grove, whom the police believes to be a
 principal in the abduction, was arrested
 in Council Bluffs this afternoon by Omaha
 detectives and brought here. The war rant charges Grove with the abduction of
 Eddie Cudahy on December IS. Grove
 consented to accompany the officers across
 the river without requistion papers.
 Today detectives with search warrants
 and complaints charging abduction, ran
 sacked the premises adjacent to J. J.
 Crowe's saloon in the hope of discovering
 Pat Grove. They had the necessary pa-
 pers papers for the arrest of both Pat and
 his brother. Early in the day the police
 had been given the tip that either at
 Grove was making his hiding place in his
 brothers saloon or the brother knew more
 than he would tell about the Kidnapping
 and the letter recently written to the Cuda-
 hys threatening the death of their son If
 the reward for the arrest of the kidnap
 pers were not withdrawn.
 Search showed no trace of at Grove. but
 the officers came upon the brother asleep
 in a. rear room. They awakened him and
 took the bulldog pistols from him. When
 the information that Pat Grove might be found in the saloon as given to Chief Don- ahueahue, he detailed five detectives to
 make the arrests A complaint charging J. J. Grove and at Grove with being fugi- tives from justice through complicity in the Cudahy kidnapping was placed in the hands of detectives. When the detectives
 reached Crowe's place the building was
 quickly surrounded. Some of the officers
 remained outside to guard the doors and windws and some to search the outbuild- ings.
 When the detectives opened the doors of the saloon and the adjoining rooms, the in- mates were taken by surprise, but there was no show of resistance A woman of the household attempted to run to the room where Grove lay asleep, but half dozen officers Blocked the way and entered first So quiet had been the entry of the of fcers that Grove had not been awakened He was aroused and disarmed. In his rear pockets two huge revolvers were found. Grove rubbed his eyes as if he were dazed. What do you want?" he demanded. We're looking for you and Pat" was the response.
 "we want Pat most, but If we can't find him, we want to ask you few questions" l" Grove took the situation complacently. "I'r do anything I can for you gentle men," he said, ''but Ial tell you right now I can't do or tell much"
 Grove was put in the swetbox by the po- lice tonight, but denies any knowledge of his brothers whereabouts, and that he had anything to do with the kidnapping. The po- lice however, expect to secure some valu- able information about Pat Grove and his doings.
 The police here know nothing of the Pat Crowe said to nave been arrested at Oel- richl Gouth Dakota, and discredit the re- port. f'
