BURNT CORK ARTISTS APPEAR
Ernest Hogan and his iRimatable
troups OF funny folks renewed their
acquaintance with Honolulu fun low
ers last evening at the Orpheum
theater
Needless to say the hOuse' was
crc wded to the doors and those who
had only standing room considered
themselves fortunate to be able to
get a glimpse of the mirth-provoking
physical contortions of the merry
crew of darkies and TO listen to the
songs and jolly jokes which kept the
entire audience in a rear of laughter
from the rising of the curtain until
the gong down of the same.
Hogan explained TO his friends that
he had been working very hard to get
things ready in time to give them
their fun measure of JOYOUS light.
He said that he was hoarse N this
account. The chocolste-colored king
CT merTiment referred in touching
language 10 the EXPERIENCES Of him
self ard his companions coming down
from San Francisco. He said he
could still feel the motion of the

to the attention OF the public the i'm
nense strides labor organizations
have recently made, and are suil
making in this country. II now ap-
pears from the report OF the indus

lion and half men are enrolled In

great and growing army upon the
politics Of other cities will most
surely soon be felt with similar re-
suits IS al San Francisco.
The report OF the Industrial Com
mission includes these facts:
THE American Federation of Labor
has tended year by year to embrace
an increasing proportion Of the Amer
lean unions. SO that It's growth has
been somewhat greater than the
growth Of unIonism as a whole Yet.
while not showing even approximate
~ the absolute membership OF Amer
team unions, the figures NAV give
some Indication of the direction and
the velocity OF movement. The mum

It is a noticeable fact that the
Democratic papers outside OF New

support of Tammany Hall. or even
expressed the hope that it would
win. in the campaign that is just clos

umns to the news of the campaign,

of them have been silent or non-eom-
initial. OF the papers that do e%-

The Asahi simply repeates itself in

PLAYING TIE CANE WELL.

The Home Rule Republicans are
taking Up practical politics IN a way
that promises great results in the
uert election. A coalition with the la
boring men Of this city vii make thu
party lnvincible. Every one familiar
gIth politics in this Territory knows
that the Fourth District was saved to
the old line Republican ticket in 1900
by the labor vote OF that district.
Even with the labor vote the margin
was not large. with the Democrats
already practically merged into the
Home Rule Republican party and the
prospect OF a further coalition be
tween the Home Rulers and the la
boring element. there can be no doubt
Of their controlling the Fourth Dis
trict 10 1902 as well as the fifth Dis
trict
The Home Rule Republicans are
setting a good example in political
work. Their committee is meeting
once a week and discussing subjects
for the advancement OF the party
Even granting that some dissensions
do arise. they are fought cut in the
committee and all 20 steadily onward
in a steady march in behalf OF a unit
I'd party. That such work wins cleo
uons every reader knows. The next
election Is eleven months away. but
already the Home Rule Republicans
are canvassing the districts, planning
their campaigns and 10 a large extent
recognizing and Strengthening their
party in every possible way.
That they were weak in the last
Legislature none more fully realize
than the Home Rule leaders them
selves. ana every effcrt is being pu;
forth now 20 strengthen the party in
every possible way in the next Legis-
lature. Young men are TO be put to
the front in many instances. Men
who cannot readily speak English will
bo shelved so that work in the legis
latlve halls can be expedited. Party
foalty is put TO the test so as to in
sure united work by all when the Leg
stature assemblies. Even now prop 5
cd laws are being drafted and gen
cral plan OF legislation is being map
ped out 10 be carried through prompt
ly and without any delays such as in
terferCd with legislation last year.
Men who proved recreant to their
party In the last Legislature will be
denied a denomination and reelection.
All in all the Home Rule Repub
lioans are doing practical politics
these days. and II they go on in the
same way for the next eleven months
that they have been working the last
three months. they will sweep the
Territory despite the best organiza-
ton that can be put up against them.
