ed slightly lower on the near months,
but improved 1 to on the latter. Sub
sequently fresh buying caused an adj
vance of to from the bottom. About
this time heavy realizing on the large
receipts and additional rains took
place, occasioning a break of "a to Is
from the top, making the net loss from
16 to II points on the day. After an
advance of over one cent a pound
from the bottom, it was only natural
that a reaction should be established,
and as many had made large profits OH
the enhancement of values, they were
eager to take in profits. This, how
ever, has not changed the situation.
Every one expects the heaviest Sep
TENDER movement on record, but 1t is
also known that spinners' stocks are
almost deplete, and that they will be
compelled to soon become free buyers
to meet their immediate wants. The
takings of American cotton last year
aggregated 10,900.000 bales, therefore
with the increase of spindles, which
has taken place, it is believed that the
world will require over 100000 of
American this season. The bureau
indicates a crop of only $685. on the
face of its returns, and while these
figures are discredited by the trade,
there are many that believe, after
making due allowance for exaggera-
ton, that the prospective outturn will
be way under the amount necessary
for the consumptive requirements of
the world. Such being the case, we
think we'll of buying on all breaks, as
the chances are prices will ultimately
seek a higher level.

REPUBLICAN, MASS
MEETING SATURDAY

The mass meeting of the Republic
cans in the drill shed Saturday night
promises to be one of the most popular
that has yet been held in Honolulu
barring no party. This popularity has
come from the objects of the meeting
which is to be in the nature of a pro-
test against the Wilcox leper bill and
the movement to disfranchise the ma
tive Hawaiians.
The committee appointed by the Ter
ritOrial committee of the Republican
party at its meeting Monday night has
been working diligently and now all
plans for the mass meeting have been
completed. The speakers will be as
follows Senator Achi, Representa-
tives A. G. NJ. Robertson and VIM. Ay-
lett. Committeeman John C. Lane and
VIM. Olepau. the last named being one
Of the leaders of the natives who work
along the water front. 1t may be that
one or two others VIII be asked to
speak.
The band will be present at the meet
ing to play between the speeches and
whenever there is the least lull in the
proceedings.

THREATENED CAMPAIGNOFA BUSETSSCORED

Editor Evening Bulletin: The con.
templated appointment of the Hon.
Sam Parker as Governor of this Ter.
ritOry meets with the entire and hear
ty approval OF the best citizens Of Ha.
wall. These Islands can no longer at.
ford to be disturbed by internal politi'
cal strife such as has been witnessed
during the last year or two. II has
had the effect Of impairing the value
of our securities abroad.
The time has arrived when a good
understanding must exist between the
Legislative and executive branches OF
the Government.
Sam Parker was the unanimous
choice of the Republican convention
held in Honolulu for the purpose OF
selecting a candidate for Delegate to
Congress. which is the highest office
in the gift OF the people.
1t was a very keen and exciting con.
test and the standard bearer OF the
Republican party pOlled a splendid
vote, being only beaten by the narrow
majority OF about $50 votes. He car
ried the District of Honolulu by a
sweeping majority. The commercial
and business interests of the entire
group supported him and he displayed
marked ability throughout the cam
paign.
The President of the United States
is broad.minded and able statesman
he desires to have constitutional gov
eminent firmly established in this in
FAINT Territory, and he has in mind the
man of all others who can help unite
the different factions, and put an enc
to the bitter political controversies In
these Islands, and he will not waver In
his purpose.
The threat has been made that :
campaign Of personal abuse and Sian
der will be carried on for the purpose
of dNeating the confirmation of Col
| Parker by certain persons who have
controlled the political patronage Of
the Islands since the formation of the
provisional government. The threat
emanates from vindictive, narrow
petty politicians whose greed for of
| fee and spoils has made them Odious
at home and abroad.
Every good citizen will hail with de
! light the change in the office of the
chief executive. The bOundless hos
pitality of Col. Parker and his ability
has made him loved and respected
throughout the Territory and on the
Mainland. That he will call arount

Attorney General Dole made anoth.

had no more rights than any other
attorney and then asked II the prose.
Cution was ready.
The Attorney General had got as far
rs saying he was not ready, but want.
ed to say-when the Court asked If the
defendants were ready. Mr. Brooks
answered in the affirmative.
when asked what he intended to do
Mr.. Dole said he considered II would
be improper either to nolle prosequi
the cases or try them this term. He
went on to claim the right to present
I his reasons in writing.
There was warm colloquy in
which Judge Gear told the Attorney

Finally. Mr.. Dole left the courtroom
and the following jury was called and
found satisfactory: +. Kaai, James

Jones' w. Z. Devereaux, S. Ehrlich
Isaac NOar, j. NJ. Holman. c. Kimball
d. b. Renear, w. Mahuka and w. j.
Ordway.
Deputy Attorney General Cathcart
said he was taking no part in the
proceedings.
Judge Gear then directed the clerl
to prepare a verdict of not guilty.
which was signed by the jury upOr
the order of the Court. The same
procedure was followed in the two re
naming Kahuku cases. the defendants
being the same in each one, though
different juries were drawn.
Court then took recess. The foul
Japanese marched out of the court
room. again resumed their places il
the patrol wagon. and were taken t.
the prison. The men were taken nm
der the old convictions, and no new
warrants were required.
Attorney General Dole later gave
out his statement for publication. II
1t he gives his reasons already wei
known for requesting a continuance o.
the cases until the Federal Supreme
Court decides the constitutional ques
ton involved.

him the strongest and ablest advisers
that can be found is without ques-
ton.
The President has intlmated his de.
sire to have Senator George X. Carter
accept the position of Secretary of the
Territory and no doubt George Carter
will accept the high and honorable pc.
sitiOn which the President proposes
to place him in.
That Colonel Parker upon assuming
the reins of Government will be con.
servative and careful is certain. His
large interests in these Islands are n
guarantee that he will seek to pro.
mote the prosperity of his native land
and his chief aim will be to reject
honor upon the appointing power.
Any attempt to make a Cowardly at
tack upon the choice of the President
should be met with united front by
all who love their Island home and
who seek to defend its good namo
abroad,
The Family Compact have enjoyed
the sweets Of office for long while
and have ruled in Hawaii for their own
personal gain ana for the advantage
Of their immediate relatives. Nepo
tism in its worst form has been prac,
ticed and continued under the provl
sional republic and Territorial gov,
ernments. A halt has been called and
the end has come. Race prejudice and
party strife such as has existed can dc
the country no good.
The Hawaiian people will be willing
, next November to rally to the support
of the Republican candidate whoever
he may be, and there is every reason
to believe that the Hawaiian Ameri
cans will see the necessity of sending
to Congress a broad,minded American
! The President has respected the
wishes of the majority and they will
be more than willing to recognize 1t
The new governor will find the
people of this Territory willing tc
give him hearty support and for the
peace, credit and good of our common
country let us unite to put an end tC
the bitter strife heretofore carried on
1t is the duty of every good citizen ir

.FIL|PINOS ARE NOT
FIT FOR JURY DUTY
They Are So Accustomed to Corruption in the
Administration Of Justice That They Can
not Be Trusted TO Serve as Jurors.
UNDER THE SPANISH REGIME
THE COURTS WERE CORRUPT

Washington, D. c., Feb. l5.-The
hearing Of Governor Taft on the Phil
ippine question by the senate commit
tee on the Philippines began today
with a series of questions by Senator
Patterson in regard to the fitness of the
Filipinos for jury duty. Patterson
asked whether the native population on
which the voting franchise was be-
slowed, could not be trusted to do
jury duty The governor replied in the
negative, saying that they are so used
to corruption in the administration of
justice they could not be trusted
"They need to be trained" he said,
"to have examples; they are not ready
for jury duty"
Referring to the code of procedure in
the islands, Governor Taft said, in re-
ply to a question by Senator Culber-
son, that it is the American code rath-
er than the Spanish code.
Under the Spanish regime, said Taft,
the courts were not only sluggish, but
courts established by General Otis were
notoriously corrupt, and the first
no better. Under Spanish rule there
was no substantial administration of
Justice
