CRUDE OIL.
Used In California for the s~prlnkling o,
Streets

One Of the benefits growing out Of
the enormous supply Of crude oil
which is now found in 50 many parts
Of the country is the possibility Of
using it for sprinkling and thereby
laying the dust not only on railroads
but in the cities, and perhaps most Of
all on the country roads in those sec-
tions where rain occur only at inter-
walls. lis success upon railroads la,
been thoroughly demonstrated, and
although at first its Use in cities was
deprecated because Of the supposed
deleterious effects upon rubber tires,
it is now claimed that this objection
has been overcome. Quite u number
OF the cities in California are using
oil for sprinkling purposes, and il ID
found much chcapert than water. The
advantage TO the railroad aside from
the laying Of dust on the right OF way
is that a general use for s~prinklinp
purposes will add materially to the
traffic Of the road, and from that
standpoint should be encouraged

THE GRAND JURY REPORT.

The Grand Jury report is given In
full to the public this morning, and is
precisely what the Advertiser several
weeks ago said it would be. The jury
was unable to find evidence of bribery
sufficient to convict. although it entered
several trails that showed a strong
scent Fairness impels us to credit
the jury with diligence and zeal in call
ing and examining witnesses; but so
much of the evidence, as we are in
formed, was contradictory and worse,
that the jury could reach no basis or
Indictment.
There is no crime more difficult to
prove than that Of bribery. the reason
being that punishment goes equally to
the briber and the bribed, and they
have the utmost reason to protect each
other. Detectives may catch many
kinds of criminals by acting with them
ND to the point of arrest, as, for IN
stance, in becoming temporary party
to swindling cases and in creating
certain classes of evidence used in d.
vorce suits, but they cannot pay brides
for the sake of catching the bribe-taker,
without running the risk of sharing his
fate Unless a third party Is on hand
or within hearing. the evidence must
be purely circumstantial; and If there
is one form of criminal negotiation from
which third parties are vigorously eXz
cluded 1t is thai which affects the sale
and purchase of votes
What led to the late bribery investi-
CATION was remark dropped by Gov
ernor Dole about the fact of bribery
evidence which he could not ignore.
but which he had not yet got hold of
in way to call for indictment. AS
soon as the trickster of the First Cir
cult bench heard this admission, he
hurried the Grand Jury together, COM
posed almost exclusively of political
enemies of Governor Dole and political
friends of the legislative majority. with
the purpose IN his mind of putting the
Governor into hole and embarrassing
the Home Rulers. Had he cared any
thing for justice this INSCRIPTIONS
Judge would have given the Governor
ample time to follow up his clues; but
the moment he saw that the prosecu-
ton was not ready he convened a
packed Grand Jury for an ex-parte in
vestigation. Fortunately the Grand
Jury. headed by J. o. Carter, was
much better than the Judge and it I'M
dertook, as we believe, to get at the
facts. But the premature publicity, for
which the Governor must bear his share
of blame, and which Judge Humphreys
was quick to take advantage of, to-
gether with the difficulty of getting di-
rect testimony in a bribery case,
brought the investigation to nothing at
all.
| However some good results were
reached. The Grand Jury took a course
which, by force of circumstances, ex-
posed the rottenness of Judge Hum
phreys' court and sent that corrupt
jurist hurrying out of town IN quest of
some device that would conceal the
stigma on his forehead. If the Legisla-
ture could not be got at ii was hardly
less service to the people to expose, in
all his shame and disgrace, the man
who will henceforth be known in Ha-
vail as the Branded Judge

SPARE THE TREES.

The Views expressed in another col
umn about the rapid destruction of
trees on Tantalus are those generally
held by the people of this city. The
Tantalus forest was started long ago
for g. scientific purpose, which it has
fulfilled. and it has become beautiful
scenic background for Honolulu as
well as q conservator Of the rains. Ev-
erybody whose opinions have reached
u.s. wants 1t to remain as 1t is. subject
to growth and Improvement. But the
Agricultural Department 5000 miles
away evidently thinks otherwise, and
unless it can be induced to withdraw
the yandal hand, over 200 acres of
eucalyptus, acacia and other trees may
have to go to make room for-what?
Possibly a growth of better trees in
the far future but probably not. Scores
of fine trees were tried on Tantalus In
the past by practical arboriculturtsts,
but none Of them thrived. Careful ex-
pertinent fixed on the eucalypt, and
after patient nurturing they We're made
to grow. But as eucalypti exhaust the
richness of the soil faster. perhaps,
than any other growths, we have the
prospect of a failure to raise anything
worth while on the denuded tract. What
then? Why we shall merely have ex-
changed a fine forest for barren, sun
snitten slope. On the other hand, If
trees grow. we may have TO wait twenty
years before they will yield such beauty
and value as did those that were cut
down. Had they, IN that event, been
planted somewhere else, under similar
conditions of soil and rainfall, the re-
suit would have been two forests in
stead of one.
Why did not the Agricultural De-
partment clear three acres only and ex-
pertinent with them to the extent of
finding whether things would grow, be-
fore cutting off fifteen acres and threat
ening over 200 acres? That would have
been the common-sense plan. The other
is the official plan.
We understand that, in this matter,
Mr.. Jared Smith is acting under orders
from the department, but we hope he
will feel at liberty to hold off until the
Secretary of Agriculture can be writ
ten to and. If possible, convinced, that
the cutting down of the trees back of
Honolulu Is not the wisest way to be-
gin an experimental farm.

BROKER PoLLIIZ HIRE
he Briefly Discusses the Local Sugar
Status.

Broker POLITE arrived yesterday on
the Zealandia, accompanied by w.
Shaughnessey, an expert on irrigation
matters. AS already stated in the Ad-
vertiser, Mr.. POLITE came to gauge the
sugar stock situation, and to- correct
certain false impressions about it, now
current among San Francisco brokers.
He states that several of the planta-
lions have not fulfilled the promises
made when their stocks were listed on
the San Francisco Exchange. Some of
them had passed dividends, while 9TH
ers had decreased the size of their diyi-
bends. Mr.. POLITE agrees with the
planters, however, that the labor
troubles here were more serious than
was first anticipated. He is of the
opinion that most all the plantations
would eventually get back to their. old
standing. He attributes much of the
depression in San Francisco to the de-
sire of capitalists to keep their money
free and moving.
Messrs. Pollitz and Shaughnessy will
probably make a business trip to Maui
and Hawaii

THE THIRD TERM.

Chauncey M. Depew, in proposing a
third term for President Mckinley,
represents the idea of Americans who
care more for the continuation of the
era of business confidence that is asso-
ciated with the Presidents name than
they do for the traditions of the re-
public. There are many such men, es-
,pecially In the field of large investment.
1t sours the spirit of commercial enter
prise to feel that the risk of electing an
unsafe man for President is to be In
Cured every four years: and while in
vestors are glad enough when four
years comes around to get a change
from such man, when a President
whose policy and character inspire
good times is in office, they want him
to stay SO long as he can be of use
An elastic term system would suit Wall
street excellently-longe in the case of
safe man, shorter in the case of an
unsafe one. The only thing In the way
of It's adoption is a large adverse ma
Jority. infused with respect for the
democratic idea and led by clever men

quent changes in the higher. offices.
Nevertheless, it is quite probable that
the two-term limit will be given mn
some day. There is no written law to
enforce 1t; the tendency towards a
stable and centralized government is
common to all great powers that be-
gin on the plane of democracy; but the
main reason is that. IL the United States
should ever find itself at a crisis like
the one Of 1854 with a leader like
Abraham Lincoln ending a second
term, and his equal not in sight, third
term would be voted as a measure of
safety to the Union. Does any one
doubt that If Lincoln had ended his
eighth year of the Presidency In 1864
he would have been permitted to retire?
There is no crisis now or apparent In
the future, making the reelection of
Mckinley measure of national safety;
so the suggestion Of Senator Depew Is
not likely to bear fruit.

pared with an average at this date
for five years of 81. April was wholly
favorable for the Development of the
wheat crop over the greater part of

The spring wheat crop has been
sown under highly favorable condi-
