HOG BLADDER POLITICIANS.

Citizens who take the trouble to fol-
low the political antics of the control
ling power behind the Advertiser are
reminded each morning of the petulant
small boy welding an inflated hog
bladder at the end of string.
The Morning Organ fulhlls all the
requisites Of the youtaGI; hog bladder
ilay. imitation, string and all Inflated
with its own ponderosity an6 subject
70 the erratic influences ul control
ling string, II is welded In a mission
OF spite only to rebound upon the ma
tive power to make II ridiculous rhe
boy with the hog bladder always fur
pishes amusement. Sneaking behind
the person selected for attack he
pastes him over the head with the in.
fated weapon; in endeavoring to make
his escape gets tangled IN the string
and seeks some convenient coraGr 10
escape the public ridlcule of his i'm
potent attack. From this dignifed van.
tage point he calls names.
Whenever in the course Of Hawaiian
Territorial events the official or citi.
zen refuses to bow the cringing knee
to the former ruling element, when off,
cial administration Is characterized by
fearless honesty, the order goes forth
Hit him with the hog bladder
the Advertiser responds to its duty
The inflated orb Of personal spite re
bounds upon its source Of activity;
the powers make foolish exhibition Of
themselves, call names and the people
laugh.
At present, Judge Humphreys has
been selected as the object Of attack
from the hog bladder politicians. With
unvarying regularity he gets swat"
In the form Of wild imagin!ngs about
what he is doing in the field Of politics,
The result is discontinue in the ranks
of the bladder wielders and a wild rush
to patch up the punctures which fear
less honesty constantly punches in the
lie inflated weapon.

LEGISLATIVE EXPENSE.

The Advertiser has made another
discovery hardly second In importance
TO that rush to Honolulu following
annexation"
This latest find is in the Legislature
where It Is discovered that the secretary
OF the House and the Senate secretary
use typewriters and desks paid for by
warrants. Furthermore. the desk used
by the House secretary has been trans.
ported to the home-sEack the Adver-
tiser calls.-it-of that official. The
bill for this material was sl49.59..
This Is indeed a sad state OF affairs.
Either the grand jury or the National
Guard ought to be called out. When
the executive department Of the gov
eminent pays $4,000 or more out OF the
diplomatic and consular appropriation
for Mr.. Dole's agent In Washington;
when the expenses OF Land Commits
sioner Browns trip as a lobbyist are
paid from the $4,000 incidental fund OF
the land Office; when Chief Justice
Frear calls for tenders on contracts
when $500 worth OF the work has al
ready been done by the Advertiser;
when the Governor asks the Legisla-
ture to pay Judge Frear for work al
ready under way without authority;
when the taxpayers have been drawn
on for all these purposes by the execu-
tive department for which the Adver-
tiser offers apologies-to say nothing
Of the $500 Maine fund OF fond men,
ory--it is indeed rather tough that the
Legislature should allow the purchase
OF material for its secretaries, and al
low them to take this material TO then
homes so that the work can be COM
pleted promptly and transmitted ia
Congress in proper form by Secretary
Cooper,
With the example of the executive
departments before them, II Is strange
the legislators can allow bills Of ex'

SENATOR A(R| ON
THE KOHALA RAILROAD

w. G. Achi resentes the limitation
made by resident of Hawaii in an in
terview with the Bulletin, which, in eff
feet. questioned the good faith of the
men behind the Kohaa-Kau railroad
bill. introduced in the Senate by Sena-
tor Achi last week.
The father of the bill Indignantly
denies that their scheme Is all bosh,
lie says that not only have the promo.
ters Of his railroad possession of near.
~ all the land through which right
of way will be wanted. but also that,
they propose to practically give away
5000 acres of land along the route to
small farmers. His idea is to encour-
age small farmers. to settle in that To-
cality. Tracts Of 80 acres will be sold
on the very easiest terms" said Sena-
tor Achi. "and IL necessary. We will
advance money to the small farmer to
enable him to clear the land and put
in his first crop. We shall insist that
he put in at least ten acres OF cane.
Besides this we want TO encourage the
production Of their crops.
THE other railroad is backed by
German capital; ours is backed wholly
by home money. We have the money
In sight and have heavily invested in
real estate and feel that we are right
"a, ontitIad IN fret consideration
"The enterprise is a good one and we
shall allow local parties to benefit from
holdings in our stocks as well as give
the small farmer every show possible"

Last Saturday and Sunday Pc cahontas county, in West Virgin ia, was visited by a flood, the ex- tent of which will equal if not exceed that of Johnstown in 1889, so far as the loss of property is concerned. Two hundred lives were lost and the damage to property cannot be estimated. Keystone, Elkhorn, Vivian and other towns are completely wiped out. Passenger train on the Nor fork and Western railway meets flood and passengers were drag ged from windows of up side of mountain.

THE DESERT DISAPPEARS
EDITORIAL LETTER BY FRED 1. AllES, OF TnE EVENING EXPRESS, WHO WAS HERE

fowl cover it at some seasons. The growth of timber around the lake and along the banks of New River is very good, consisting largely of fine mes quite and willows. The land in this section has practically all been filed on, though thousands of acres of fine land can be had within a few miles to the west.
 The work at Imperial is ill the hands of S. W. Ferguson, general manager of the Imperial Land company, with W. F. Holt assistant, and is being taken care of in businesslike way. MT. Ferguson was for many years manager of the Kern County Land company at Bakersfield, and under stands the development proposition in all its phases. The land company handles all of the townsites and assists intending settlers in making selec- tions of good land. It wants settlers to make success of their new venture and will not permit a filing on rough land or land of poor character when it can prevent it. The settlers compose the water company and control their own affairs. In buying stock they be- come members of mutual water com pany, having contract for the Pur- chase of water from the California Developments company at the Mexican boundary line, at certain stipulated price perpetually. When the water crosses the line it is the property of the settlers, who control it as they please. The SIPS per share which they pay is for the building of canals and surveys.
 The village of Imperial, laid out in January, has one good store, a hotel, lumber yard with shed, church in course of construction, which will be completed in few days and some tent and frame residences.
 The prospects of the Imperial valley are very much better than the pros poets of Riverside were 30 years ago. The men who go to Imperial now to make homes have the experience of similar settlements to guide them and failures will be practically unknown, and pioneering under the conditions which exist there will be robbed of many of the hardships which usually attend the settlement of a new region.
