MKINLEY SUsTAINS DOLE.

Another one of the sensational bub'
bles blown from the dream pipe OF the
anti-Dole press has been pricked by the
Federal Department of Justice. For
months past these journals have been
Gin a position to know" and have been
assured by high authority" and have
congratulated the public on the suits
to be brought by the Government TO
al rul the land sales made in Hawaii
between July Z, 1898, and September 80,
1900. The Advertiser never believed in
the probability OF such action and often
said so with the result that the anti
Dole organs expressed high disdain oil
it's news facilities.
Now comes the autographs approval
by President Mckinley of these sales
ard the official statement of the De-
partment of Justice that the Act or
AIril 80 1900, continues in force the
laws of Hawaii relating to public lands
and thereby provides a system whereby
the public lands of those Islands may
be disposed of until Congress shall
otherwise provide" Moreover, as
concrete example of the meaning of the
Governments construction of the Or
ganic Act, the Olaa squatters are de-
MED the rights usurped by them ana
the application of j. +. Hines and
others to approve their staying on the
pre-empted lands is disallowed.
The anti-Dole> editors and the Olaa
s0uatters may now pass through the
east door to view the remains.

An uprising of the taxpayers in favor
of municipal government might be in
ferred from the headlines of a contem-
porary, but the text, as usual, does not
bear that impression out. OF the peo-
pie quoted, David Dayton is only in
favor of city system If there is money
enough in sight to pay for it. Capt.
c. j. Campbell thinks it would be a
great mistake to ask the next Legisla-
ture for charter, II. NJ. Dow says
the time is not yet ripe" Naturally
enough Charley Creighton wants any
kind of new deal which may down
the missionary or, as he says, destroy
centralized power" We are not in
formed of the amount of taxes paid by
Charley but he evidently doesn't care
If they are increased an hundred per
cent, which is quite publiC-spirited of
him. j. NJ Kaneakua opposes munich
pal rule on the ground taken by Dele
cate Wilcox and Judge Haulukou,
namely that the poor people, owning a
small patch of property, would get the
worst of it. DR., McGrew, as might be
expected, is willing To have taxes raised
If it will only prevent IA concentra-
ton of the affairs of the Government
in the hands of the few-a state of af-
fairs that we have had for many "A long
year" That is to say, DIR. MCGrew does
not particularly care if he has to put
up something extra and If everybody
else has to, providing the authority of
the men he does not personally like is
lessened. Willie Crawford, the imita-
ton Chinaman, Johnnie Wilson and
Harry Evans feel the same way. All
this can hardly be called an uprising
Of the taxpayers. seeing how carefully
the representatives of millions on the
one hand and of hundreds on the other
are left out; and how much stress is
laid on the opinions OF those who mere
ly want charter for vague purposes OF
revenge.

The anti-canal lobby is playing a
deep game. One detachment of 1t Is
trying to sidetrack the Nicaragua! bill
and give the main track to the old
Panama project which, 1t thinks, will
be easy to switch off in turn. Another
detachment is engaged in working up
sentiment against the amended Hay
Pauncefote treaty, the defeat of which
would leave the Clayton Bulwer treaty
in full force and effect, thus renewing
an old obstacle to the progress of ca
nal legislation. The third detachment
is at work in Central America soaring
the little republics with the boyle of
American militarism intrenched in the
proposed canal forts and menacing the
liberties of the surrounding people. We
already hear that Central Americans
will band against the Nicaraguan
project: and we also hear that there
will be no canal legislation in this
Congress. Possibly both forecasts are
correct 1t is no light thing even for
Congress to try and combat the power
of the railroads.

MILK ADULTERATION.

The usual farce has been enacted II
VI, the police court in an attempt to con
wet one I.ambo, a driver for Magoon
q Star Dairy, of selling adulterated milk
The prosecution was prepared with evil
dence that the milk had been tempered
with but the court held that, as Lambo
had not received money for the huid
but had merely delivered IT for others
who got the pay, he could not be held
responsible. 1t was upon some such
technicality that Magoon got one OF his
drivers free several months ago; ana
rs the dairy company itself Is not
prosecuted it looks as If the growing
milk -and-water industry of Honolulu
was bound to flourish.
The law applying to such cases is as
follows:
Chan. S. Sec. no Any person who
shall sell, or offer for sale. any milk
which has been adulterated by the add
ton of water or other substance; or from
which the cream has been SKINNED or
separated unless the same Is specifically
or openly stated to be skinned milk
shall be fined not more than fifty dollars
Sec ri Any police officer or agent of
the Board of Health shall have power to
inspect any milk sold or offered for SALE
and to confiscate any adulterated milk
which he may find.
We hope the Legislature in its wis
dom will amend Sec. 40 to read some
what as follows:
Any person. firm or corporation that
shall SELL or expose or offer~for SALE or
cause to be distributed. any milk which
has been adulterated by the addition OF
water or other substance, ETC., shall, up
on convictions. suffer the loss OF the IL
cense under which such person, firm or
corporation Is doing business. And any
employee convicted of delivering adulter-
ated milk shall be fined not less than
fifty dollars or be imprisoned for ten days
OF both.
A law framed on those lines and
strictly enforced would put an end to
one of the meanest of the prevalent
swindles of which the people of this city
are the victims.
We are not sure but that something
vigorous might be done now under the
concluding paragraph Of Sec. M, read
ing as follows:
and to confiscate any adulterated
milk which he may find.
Why is 1t not practicable for agents
OF the Board of Health under this
clause to intercept milk wagons all over
town and make the test then and there
for adulterants? The test, which may
be made with a small pocket device,
would not cause much loss of time, and
would enable the Board to prevent the
delivery of milk that is below the recog-
nized standard of purity. When In
spector Dockery was doing this sort of
thing in San Francisco he compelled
all the milkmen to deal fairly with
their customers and the results includ-
ed an appreclablefall in the death rate
among infants

TOBACCO IN HAWAII.

We believe that tobacco culture has
mot been successful IN Hawaii despite
the fertility OF the soil and the humid
warmth of the climate. and this In face
of the further fact that other Islands
lin the same latitude are bountiful pro-
Iducers of the smokers weed. Perhaps
lenough experiments have not been
made; possibly by trying the one de-
Iscribed IN the following extract from
the san Francisco Chronicle, Hawaii
may be able TO hold its own with cuba
and the Philippines:
During the past season some Connectl-
cut tobacco growers have been expert
menting under the direction of the De-
ps rtment OF Agriculture in growing fine
varieties of tobacco under the shade OF
cheesecloth. Similar experiments have
been made in Florida. The result of the
Connecticut experiment has just been
reached in the sale of Sumatra tobacco
thus grown at II cents a pound, when
the same tobacco grown in the same
field without shade brought only n cents
pound. In growing tobacco In this way
wooden frames are erected upon which
cheesecloth is stretched covering the en-
tire field. The frames will last several
years, but the cloth will probably have
to be renewed each season. The quanti-
cred and open portions of the field, but
the covered tobacco brought nearly three
times as much as that grown in the open.
The net profit in the experiment made
was at the rate of over 5000 per acre,
while that of the crop grown in the open
was about $500 per acre-in itself very
satisfactory profit, one would think. even
for very valuable land worked with the
greatest skill at time when the best
cigar tobacco Is scarce and high.
The success of this experiment may
give useful hint to tobacco growers In
this State. That we have suitable soils
for the production of fine tobaccos can
not be doubted, for we have all kinds of
soils. That the tobacco thus far expert
mentally produced in this State has not
been of very high grade has been gen.
orally attributed to the dryness Of our
climate-all high-priced tobaccos being
grown in humid climates. BY the use of
cheesecloth to reduce radiation and the
proper use of irrigation water, II may
be that we can produce Just such cli-
mates as are required. Our annual ex-
penditures for foreign cigar tobaccos are
from s6000.00O to 100000 and 1t is to be
hoped that next season the Connecticut
eA pertinent will be repeated In the dis
tricts of this State where tobacco culture
Is attempted.
Hawaii sends a very large sum
abroad every year for tobacco, the
greater part of which might, perhaps,
be kept at home. In 1898 we took to-
bacco and cigars from America to the
amount of 157,17O.56 and from all other
sources about $4,000. The total was
s273, 17056. Since 1898 the number of
smokers has increased with the popu
lation.

The Board of Health does well to
avoid. as far as possible, the custom
of going into executive session when
ever any subject of marked Importance
To the public is before it. Proneness to
secrecy in official matters became a
crying abuse under the Monarchy and
1t was much too common under the
Provisional Government and the Re-
public. The five years contract which
the book trust enjoyed here to the det-
riment of the schools of Hawaii, was
given 1t by the Board of Education at
a secret, black and midnight meeting
In 1894 or 1895, Publicity would have
killed the scheme and that is why II
was avoided. Fair play to those who
pay the public bills and who have the
right to be heard before final action is
taken in matters gravely affecting their
interests. requires that the officials of
Hawaii. from the highest to the lowest,
should do the peoples business in the

Here is real craftsmanship! The In
dependent assures Delegate Wilcox that
he need not fear for native land-hol
ers under municipality, as land tales
are not to be meddled with. Instead
We are to have the Single Tax, which,
as Henry George could have informed
the Independent, is a tax on nothing
but land; or a graduated income tax
such, perhaps, as the Supreme Court
has pronounced unconstitutional and
which proved failure during the Civil
War; or special tax on sugar, which
of course, could not be levied for mu-
nicipal purposes on sugar produced
outside the city limits. Viewing these
brilliant suggestions we do not hest
tate to nominate the Independent as
the official organ of the Home Rule
charter committee.

From the Delaware Democrat
Tho Wilmington Evening Journal on
Wednesday discussed what should be
the course pursued by all Republicans
in the State, of whatever faction, in
the future.
II divides the whole party into Four
factions The Addicks men, the Regu-
lars or nt-Addicksites. the Unions vino
were not originally Addicks men, but
thought his elimination would elect
Democratic senators. and a fourth ele-
ment, that grew up in the last cam
paign, called want to win" who were
opposed to Addicks but more opposed
To being defeated and who would favor
his election for the sake of party sue
cess
If the Evening Journal is right in
this matter there are very few men in
this Slate who are really in favor oi
the election OF Addiclis TO the Senate.
It Gays that even in his own faction
the majority, in their hearts, believe he
ought to he kept at home. but would
favor him sooner than have a Demo-
cratic victory.
This is. indeed, a sad state Of affairs
within Republican ranks. and shows
TO what extend its members will go for
the sake of a partisan victory. Though
the reason of the opposition of so
many to the election of Addicks Is not
given. every one knows to what TO at
tribute It. The Influence he has
gained that ATTRACTS Ito him those who
i'm their hearts are bitterly opposed to
him is not of the kind that should nrn-

force of intellect, others by activity in
party affairs, and still others by the aid
OF influential friends. gain power in
their party and are elevated to high
positions. None OF these can be cited
In tho case of Addlcks as a reason for
his election, except IL be his activity in
his own cause.
What influence ne has has been
gained not by consistent and honest
adherence to The party for the sake of
the principles It supports. but by using
his vast wealth for the wholesale cor
ruption Of voters, and he has found
willing tools to do his bidding. II is a

campaign in Cuba. when men were
ragged and starving. and when the only
distinction between a white man and
negro was in his skin. and even this
disappeared when men become powder
grimed. He knows that white and
black fought side by side, shared their
ratlons and the enemies bullets like
brothers. Then they were all men
American citizens, and now that they
have returned to the haunts Of peace,
he is not the man TO make invidious
distinctions.
The manhood test is a truer test than
mere color of the skin. The negro has
his faults. some of them Inherent some
copied from his white brother but he
also has his virtues. and one OF these is
intense loyalty. There were many
men whose slaves bore them children,
who refused them the slightest recog-
