PLANTATION Of the Governor" Evidently
the correspondents In the poverty Of
Hawaiian subjects to lie about are
working over the stale tips they got
from here AZ the beginning of the LeEis-
lative session.
Another extraordinary piece Of hum
bug printed over the convenient initials
OF 20. S. L." reads as follows:
one OF the latest OF these mean little
questions IL the assumption OF Governor
Dole that his own name Is sufficient Sig
nature to state papers. Edward. King CT
England. signs state papers with his
rank az suffix. The Governor OF the
grand old Commonwealth OF Massachu-
setts would not think OF signing n state
paper without putting the word Govern
or" after his name. The Governor of no
State in the Union, In fact, would ever
sign his name that way. The ASSUME
ton Of Dole that 1t is proper form legal
~ or In political ethics, Is nothing but
case OF snobbery.
We have no hesitancy In expressing
the belief that the writer of that para
graph got all his information in Homo
lulu. The Washington officials whom
he pretends to have interviewed but
does not name, are aware, If they have
looked into the matter at all,that Gov
ernor Dole signs all State papers with
his name and title. In communications
to the Legislature he follows the style
set by President Mckinley in communi-
cations to Congress, merely signing his
matter of taste and preference,
not regulated by law.
Another correspondent obeys orders
In saying that a row is brewing over
the refusal OF Governor Dole to set
aside any building for the use of the
Federal judiciary Department here. In
asmuch as recent decision already
published, acknowledged the sole right
Of the Territory to control the buildings
1t now officially occupies, and as no
Territory is under obligations to house
purely Federal officials. the chances of
a ROW" are very remote indeed If a
building was available, which Is not
the case, the Territorial Government
would have no call to let the United
States Circuit Judge and the officials
with his court occupy 1t,
save on basis of rental In fact, I'M
der the decision or ruling mentioned,
the Territory could lawfully charge
rent for the spacious apartments now

Bay Lake, in Laguna Province, south
east of Manila. The insurgents were

Very properly. Governor Dole has re-
fused to extend the legislative session,
though an extra session for one specific
purpose will, of course. have to be
granted Were there fair assurance
that the lawmakers would use thirty
days more in making up for past errors,
the Governor might fairly give them a
chance so as to save the Treasury from
an accommodating deficit: but 1t seems
certain that they would do more mis-
chief than good. An irresponsible Leg
islature. having squandered fifty out of
sixty days. does not recommend itself
for more time. especially when II has,
on its calendar of unfinished business,
scores OF bills, the enactment of which
would send the country to the dogs. The
best thing to do is to wind the regular
session up and align all the business
interests OF the country. with their gil

Coast papers make much of the fact
that a few Porto Ricans, en-route TO
Los Angeles, died of anaemia. They
say the poor fellows were starved to
death. The truth probably Is that they
were starved In Porto Rico, that starV-
alton drove them to sign for labor IN
Hawaii and that they were too far gone
TO stand the journey or to assimilate
the coarse but abundant food issued to
them on the way. Certainly the Ha-
waiian planters are not to blame for
their condition.

THE TRAMWAY
Is TURNED DOWN

The Supreme court filed An important
decision yesterday morning which Get b
tied the peculiar questions witch have
been at Issue between the Rapid Tran.
sit and the Tramways Companies.
The Tramways Company claimed
first that II had the right 20
double-track all the streets covered by
lts franchise. The effect Of this claim.
II substantlated, would have been to
shut the Rapid Transit Company out
OF such streets. as many OF them are
too narrow to allow n third track.
Z The court has decided that the Tram
ways company does not have the right
to double-track: that having failed so
to do during the time fixed by its orig
inal franchise, 1t is now confined to
single track.
The second claim OF the Tramways
Company was that It had the right to
now change from horse-car to an
electric system.
The Rapid Transit Company claimed
that It did not have such right under
its franchise; that II possessed that
right from 1890 to 1897, by special act
OF the Legislature, but continually re.
fused to avail itself Of the privilege
that In consequence the public was
forced to procure a franchise for the
electric system, which IL now being in
stalled; that 1t would be unfair to those
who have now invested their capital in
the Rapid Transit Company to allow the
Tramways Company after 1t had pos
lively refused to change its system, to
now do so.
The court holds that as electricity
was not a method of propulsion at the
time the Tramways franchise was
granted, that 1t cannot now adopt any
method Of propulsion which will place
an additional obstruction upon the
treet, such as the erection of poles and
wires, without special act of the Legis-
lature, which the Tramways Company
has not obtained.
The third claim Of the Tramways
Company was that 1t held an exclusive
franchise to lay tracks along all streets
covered by its tracks, except that it
conceded that the Rapid Transit Com
pany had the right to lay 1,700 feet on
each street.
The Rapid Transit Company disputed
this claim, and the question came to
issue upon whether the Rapid Transi.
Company had the right to lay track
along King street paralleling the Tram
way Company's track; Alakea street
was also affected by this question.
The court holds that the Tramways
Company does not have an exclusive
franchise and that so far as the Tram
ways Company Is concerned, the Rapid
Transit Company has the right to lay
its tracks on any street, whether the
Tramways Company has a franchise
there or not.
The questions at issue We're brought
before the Supreme Court on an agreed
statement Of facts, signed by both
companies.
The filing Of the decision yesterday
clears the atmosphere and allows the |,
Rapid Transit Company to go ahead
with its construction over the streets
where 1t has not been able to lay its
tracks until the matters at issue had |
been settled.
The doubt as to It's right to lay
track on the streets occupied by the
Tramways Company, and the POSSIBLE
ity OF double track electric system
competing against 1t, has also affected
the Rapid Transit Company's credit |
heretofore. The decision should pur |
new life into the Rapid Transit Com
pany's Development.

The Governor will be sustained by
the great majority of the taxpayers IN
his refusal to extend the Legislative
session While the Home Rulers might
give some of the additional time to good
bills 1t is certain .hat they would give
more of 1t to bad ones and heap up,
meanwhile, another odoriferous mass
of scandal. Where a Legislature is
both incompetent and vicious, the less
the taxpayers have of it the better Will
they be satisfied.

REAL INDEP EVIDENCE.

The Cubans evidently mean ''real in- dependence" The committee of the Constitutional convention having in charge the consideration of Cubas fur ther relations with the United States has decided on what it will submit to the convention, and part of it is as follows: "The Government Of the Re- public of Cuba will not enter into any treaty or compact with any foreign Power which would impair or interfere with the independence of Cuba, or in any way permit or authorize any Pow CT to obtain by colonization or for mii- tary or naval purposes or otherwise lodgment or right over any portion of Cuba
 Did the United States mean less than real independence for Cuba when it started in to help tke Cubans achieve independence?
