that the bookkeeping at Manila is

No sensitive Chief Magistrate, how

Mr.. COOPERs EVICTION.

The fact that President Mckinley s
appointee for Secretary of the Territory
and his representative before the Leg
1slature here has been denied. not only
the privilege of the legislative floor,
but the standing of a spectator, is
bound to give the President and Con-
gress low opinion of our lawmakers.
Had the members of the House had po-
1itical prudence they would, il they
deemed Mr.. Cooper's presence on the
floor unjustifiable, have simply escort
ed him to its limits, leaving him free to
sit with the general public. But his
expulsion was as complete as that of
Adam from the Garden.
There can be but one opinion of such
fmpolitic act at Washington and
1t Is that the Legislature has something
to conceal and does not wish an off,
ctal report of its proceedings, which 1t
cannot doctor to reach the Federal
authorities. We hardly need to point
out that the move must be futile as
well as reckless; for Legislature can
no more hide away by shutting It's door
behind an evicted observer than can
the ostrich by smothering its head in
the sand. What that body does will
be known at Washington despite the
fact that the Presidents agent has not
been permitted to see and hear.

Interesting Insurance Case.

In December last James c. Pearson
OF Boston applied in that city to a
prominent insurance company of New
York for policy of $4,000, satisfy
ing the company's strict physical and
financial requirements for a policy so
unusual in size. For a time the com
pany retained the policy the first
premium not being paid until January
s. when Boston lawyer transacted
the business in New York At that
tlme no steps were apparently taken
toward ascertaining Mr. Pearson's
state OF health. On the second day
aiterWard the company was notified
that Mr.. Pearson had died on that day
IN Boston hospital, having been op-
Grated on for appendicitis two DAYS
oeioFe, or the day on which the policy
was taken up by his agent The com
pdhy refused payment on the ground
tnat Mr.. Pearson was mortaIlv i'm
When the policy was delivered. and II
was therefore imperative, the applica
lIoi Tor insurance containing the pro-
vision that the contract .sshaU NOT
take effect until the first premium
shall have been paid during NV con-
tlnuance in good health" The counter
claim Is made by Mr. Parsons heirs
that the company, having delivered
the policy and accepted the premium,
accepted the liability as well, ana also
that 1t was not certain when the
premium was paid that Mr.. Pearson
had appendicitis. The original appli-
cation for insurance seems to have
been made In entire good faith

Bra1ny, but Still superstit,ous.

Emanuel Friend, the noted New
York lawyer, is superstiuouss and he
isn't afraid to admit it. The other day
a porter was cleaning the silver grill
work around the elevator shafts on
the ground floor Of the Pulitzer build
ing, in which Mr.. Friend has his offices
This necessitated long ladder which
was set up right in front of one of the
three elevator doors. To board the car
people had to pass under the ladder.
This elevator said the starter,
pointing to the door with the ladder
reaching above it.

Then he turned around, only to face
two other acquaintance, one a lawyer

The newspaper opponents of the
Governor and his council frequently re-
mark, in the intervals of taking pat
ronage from them, that Washington sis
weary of Dole. " What they know
about Washington sentiment was
shown by their noisy assurances a year
and less ago that he could not be Gov
ernor; and by their statement that
General Hartwell, as Mr.. Dole's pri-
vate agent" was persona non grata at
the White House. But Mr.. Dole be-
came Governor and has continued to
receive marks of the Presidents con-
sideration; while General Hartwell was
thanked by Secretary Hay, in a letter
the Advertiser published for his useful
services in assisting the Administration
to a Hawaiian policy. Last fall an
attempt was made to get Governor
Dole into cross-wise relations with the
President over the Hawaiian election
returns, but it failed when the evidence
OF Humphreys and Gears treachery
and that of their. friends was presented
there. fgg5l

read in the Senate but the House paid
no attention to it and may not hear the
document at all. Judging from the
general attitude of the majority, the
Legislature will be guided by the be-
hests of the Home Rule caucus rather
than by the suggestions of the Execu-
tive.
The message will, however, be ser
viceable to the public for its facts and
figures and for the impulses it may
give to the kind of sentiment that will
insist, later, upon the application to
the public affairs of Hawaii of COM
mon sense and common honesty. That
it win commend Governor Dole anew
to President Mckinley we do not doubt
for it is the kind of message he would
write himself if put in a similar posi-

Gov. Dole has positive views about
milk adulteration and his paragraph on
that point we commend especially to
our readers. How general such adul-
teration is, few people know. There
cannot be much milk sold from which
more or less cream has not been taken,
as the temptation to sell separately at
81 per quart. a substance that would
otherwise go with milk that sells at
1215 cents a quart, is very strong.
Many dealers leave safe legal per-
centage of cream but the customers
are few who, can get more than one
skimming while the man who keeps his
own Jersey COW can count upon three.
That milk no good said a new Chi
nese cook the other day-"all Yellow
Why no white milk?" Though he had
worked in scores of Honolulu kitchens
1t was a novelty to him to find milk
that was thoroughly infused with
cream.

an interesting view of Chicago and it's
municipal government as they look to
the under world. He gives numerous
interviews with professional thieves
and holdup artists in their own lang

regard Chicago under it's present adj
ministration as the most desirable field
for work in the country. They think
highly of Mayor Harrison. II like him,

The Governors advice to go slow in
the matter of paying fire claims is re-
enforced by sound deductions. In the
first place the innocent sufferers should
be put in a class apart from the guilty
sufferers, the latter being those who,
by maintaining plague spots, invited
the remedy of fire. All claims should
go before a commission to be adjudi-
Gated. AS this was the measure rec
commended by President Mckinley it
is the only one likely to suit him, es-
specially if the alternative is a grab
bag appropriation for everybody.

"on the Door, at the white House

Ever since 1869. according to Wash
ington correspondent, Captain A. d.
Loeffler has opened the door for every
public man and for every applicant for
Office who has called on the President
at the White House All these years
he has stood guard at the little door
which opens into the Presidents room,
and he is said to know by sight more
prominent people of the last thirty
years than any other living man. Cap
tain Loeffler served during the Civil
war in the cavalry branch of the SER
vice, and has always been on the pay
roll of the War Department. The 9TH
er day he was placed on the retired
list of the army, but hes will still hold
his place at the door. He opened the
door for Garfield, Hayes and Mckinley
when each of the three was in turn a
Congressman from Ohio. He opened
the door later when each of them was
President and others came to pay calls.
