AUSTIN. MURPHY AFFAIR.

This Murphy Club scandal" has
reached the point where the scandal
consists in the endeavors to force
Franklin Austin from the presidency
and whether intentional or not arouse
distrust that will wreck this temper
ance movement. Franklin Austin has
his faults but giving the devil his due,
the fact cannot be disputed that the
Murphy clubs and the Murphy move
mont would never have had existence
but for his activity. Francis Murphy
would have returned to Honolulu to
find his previous visit here merely q
pleasant memOry-nothing more. The
people who should speak and the only
ones who have right to question
Austin's acts are the philanthroplc
citizens who contributed funds. Not
one OF these persons has said word.

HONESTY WIrh LASoR.

The season Of strikes and threatened
strikes has brought out one product OF
honest dealing that deserves a wider
spread publicity than 1t has thus far
received. The mill owners of FAN
River finding themselves oyerstOcked
with certain lines Of goods decided TO
make a cut in wages. Whether this
movement was made WITH view to
forcing a strike is matter subject to
dispute, Whatever the intention of the
owners, the result Of cue was ineyi-
table.
One Mathew c. ID. Borden came upon
the scene just as tue scheme was about
to be carried out. He made a forceful
fight against any such direct antago-
uism of labor, pointing out the utter
uselessness of such methods. His So
luton was to stop the manufacture of
this particular class of goods until the
surplus was reduced. and let the wages
remain the same. IL was with some
difficulty his associates were convinc-
ed of the wisdom of this plan, put final
iy they came into line, and another IL
Dor war averted
When more capitalists are willing TO
deal with labor In the fair minded,
honest manner for which Borden
Nands sponsor, the suffering and death
following in the wake of strikes will
be reduced to a marked degree.

What does this all mean? Why
should the ungrateful and dlshonored
hankey, the tool Of ThurstoD and his
meek and lowly Bar Association fol-
lowers ask for more time?
The malicious and libellous Thurs.
tonian organ, the Advertiser, offers no
explanation. 1t says that Humphreys
Is liar; but this is an old time sobri.
Quet given by the Advertiser; 1t has
also called Humphreys a criminal ii
has said he was dead dog In pit: It
has expressed grief that Humphreys
didn't die In a Chicago hospital; 1t has
said that there was new Richmond on
the way armed with affidavits that
would crush Humphreys beyond re-
pair; 1t has told all about the rapid
manner In which Humphreys would be
unceremoniously kicked out OF Office
at the command Of Thurston and his
malicious, cringing. cowardly gang.
But the organ of Thprstonian malice
fails to inform the murh amused pub
lie why 1t Is that Hankey, the migrate,
the tool, earnestly requests five days
In which to file a brief in reply to

the Attorney General. II hesitaies over
Knox's readiness to report his recon-

that Hankey was sadly in need of time
to take breath. There Is every indi-
cation, judged from the Tribune dis
patch, that Hankey, Thurston aud the

that the balances of Justice still remain

The low termination of commercial
samples of Kentucky blue grass seed
was investigated. 1t was found that
there is a stage in harvesting this seed
when heating takes place in the tops
Of the grass, jiled in windows, which
tends to destroy the termination of
the seed. This can be avoided by
methods of handling the grass, but the
department is experimenting with ma,
chinery which will dry the moist seed
without permitting it to heat. Com

situations in New York state alone
100000 is expended for food. He
