We received a postal card from
parties at Cresco Monday which con-
tanned this shocking announcement:
"Cresco people think jamestown is
entitled to the treasurer's office this
fall. " 1t is an awful thing to have any
thing like that thurst upon an unsuS-
pecting people this hot weather. The
very thought that the county seat
would even intimate that any town
ship outside of Cresco is entitled to
anything would simply startle a brass
monkey. 1t is so sudden. We will
have to have time to recover, and in
the mean time we would not have
Cresco lose sight of the fact that we
have candidate for sheriff in the
person of f. @. Blandin.-Riceville
Recorder.
Location" is the poorest qualifica-
tion possible for any Office. The man
who is fit for an office, no matter
where located would be an officer, the
servant for all the people within his
jurisdiction without distinction or
discrimination against any individual
or locality. The best and most COM
petent man is the proper one for a
candidate regardless Of the place he
may call his home, and the one just
and discriminating people should Sc
lect. Nationality, creed and locality
are unworthy tests of fitness.

a party of sixty-five Portuguese,
says the San Francisco Chronicle of
January IS. arrived early yesterday
afternoon from Rhode Island and
Massachusetts, and went direct to the
steamer Zealandia, at Pacific street
wharf The Portuguese comprise sew
eral families engaged by contract to la
Dor upon the plantations of Hawaii,
and are the most intelligent and best
appearing of the contract laborers who
have thus far passed through here on
the way to the Islands, The party is
intact, as 1t left the East, and indivd-
ual members of 1t state that all are
anxious to reach Hawaii, the induce
ments held out by the planters being
all that could have been expected, and
the climate of the Islands being much
more congenial than that of the East.
The Portuguese were given accommo-
dations in the steerage department of
the Zealandia upon reaching the vessel,
and will sail at o'clock this after

RUNAWAY TEAM.
A team of horses drawing one of the
Volcano buses on the Cocoanut Island
line ran away last Friday and caused
considerable damage to one of the
delivery wagons of the Excelsior Soda
Works Co. Manager Haley was on the
wagon which had halted in front of
Andrews boat landing at Waiakea
bridge. A surrey containing two ladies',
one Of whom was Mrs. Philip Rice, was
blocked by a dray on the town end of
the bridge. A gentleman engaged in
conversation with Mr.. Haley saw the
runaway team coming and called his
attention to it. Haley started across
the bridge shouting to the ladies to get
out Of the way. Fortunately the dray
moved sufficiently to allow them to
pass just as the runaway team reached
the bridge. Mr.. Haley was less for
tunate: the bus collided with his wagon
throwing him to the ground. The
horses broke loose from the bus when
. the collision took place and continued
running UP town.

HILo WANTS MURPHY.

1t IL understood that number OF
residents of Hilo are anxious to have
Brother Murphy come up from Homo
lulu and give temperance lectures.
There is no doubt that Hilo needs an
infusion of temperance. but the man
who administers the dose should not
limit himself to liquors. there are other
things in Hllo than liquor which will
stand temperance. Mr. Murphy Is an
electric speaker and one who has done
much toward bringing men to a prop
er realization of their duties to their
families and in addition to this he has
been successful in reducing the number
of after banquet headaches. Should he
decide to come to Hilo, Mr. Murphy
will find no difficulty in finding some
excellent examples OF the effect of long
cold bottles on mankind.

HILo DOUBTS IT.

If Hilo should happen TO have tele-

by the Marconi, or any other system,
within the next twelve months the citi-

out for the millennium, which, by the
way. is promised for December of this
year. If the promised flood takes place
at that time the scientists will feel
that the book OF Revelations is an UNI
authorized edition. Marconl, should
his system prove a success on these
Islands. would be entitled to have one
of the streets of Mahukona named in
