Under the Organic ut the Legisla.

Some kind of action by Congress is
essential TO the payment Of the awards
In question, inasmuch as the Territory
cannot furnish funds for the purpose
except by borrowing, aud borrowing
for such an object Is not permitted by

a law forbddlng the use of nets In
fishing with a mesh under certain
size is vital to the protection OF the sea
fisheries.
The use of smallmcsh nets and the
use of dynamite is seriously injuring
the fishing interests of the Territory.
As Chinese and japanese fishermen
are mainly responsible for the injury
caused by the use of a small mesh, a
remedy may be found in the provision
of the Organic Act, section 95, which
opens all sea fisheries to citizens of
the United States, the implication be.
ing that those who are not citizens are
without fishing rights. Measures have
been taken to subject the fishing priv.
ileges of non.citizens to certain strict
regulations in regard to the size Of
mesh of fishing nets and the use of
dynamite.

The disparity in the percentage OF

the ground Of greater strictness on the
part OF the Honolulu inspectors.
Eighty-eight kinds of fish by the Ha.

five kinds of other marine animals ex-
posed for sale as food, such as turtles,

Memphis. Tenn. Oct. 30. - Two
worlds records were reduced and an
ether tied at todays meeting of the
Memphis Trotting Association track.
The first special event was the attempt
of Direct Hal and Prince Direct TO
pace a mile as a team against the rec.
ord of 2:0SA. The pair we're driven
by the veteran Geers, and when the
time, 2:05lR,. was hung out the crowd
gave the stars an ovation. The first
quarter was paced in O:32la, the half in
1904 and the three-quarter pole was
passed in l:34l2. Onward Silver next
appeared to beat his previous two
mile trotting record Of 4:2Sls, but he
could only tie II. Nervola was sent
against 4:25A, the pacing record for
stations at two miles. DOane handled
his horse well. and at the end full
second was clipped OF the old figure.
Prince Alert failed to beat the geld
ing's pacing record Of 2:OO4, finishing
the mile in 2,Ol3.

station. At the right dramatic moment
they wera clicked on the villains wrists
amid loud applause.

THE DEMOCRATIC CONVENTION
At this writing 1t looks Like Handy
He seems TO have captured most OF the
New Castle delegation. owing doubtless
in part. to the fact that thorc was no
organized opposition TO him. It is
understood that the Kent delegation
has 70 particular choice. but will con-
tent itself with casting It's vote for the
candidate showing the greatest
strength. Mr.. Kenney controls this
delegation. and It is thought ne is more
favorable to Handy than to any other
candidate The Sussex delegation is
split, and 1t seems impossible for 1t to
agree uDon man. Handy will get a
part of this vote. and the local candi-
dates will divide the balance.
It has been thought that The plat
form will reaffirm the last two national
platforms should the Handy element be
In control. but from present appear
ances this will not be done. The gold
Democrats will not be offended by
Bryanesque vagaries. and there is like
lihood that national issues will have
scant consideration. State issues being
given the preference. Kennoy, Sauls-
bury and Handy will be in control. I'll
NAV be doubted whether anyone OF
them really believed in the doctrines
that have been labeled Democratic dur
ing the last six years They have been
expert in trimming their sails to the
wind and will be found back OF almost
any platform that lis REGARDED as popu-
lar Their strongest plank viii be Ad-

cause OF their own virtue, but because

An Object Lesson

From the New Castle News.
"Rule or ruin" is a policy which
tyrants have adopted from the begin
ming. We would respectfully refer our
friends who are annoyed because We
refuse to become a tool Of one man, to
"The Prince" an admirable book writ
ten by Machiavelli some hundreds of
years ago. A careful perusal Of this
interesting volume win make IL plain
that tyrants never spare anyone who
stand in their way If they can help it.
We don't mention this as though II
were something with which people in
general are not familiar. but rather to
Jog their memory. Machiavelli be-
lieved in using clever and even bril-
liant people as tools, but he made II
clear that when the tyrant got an
lnkling that said tools were gaining toe
much power it was high time tC
thrust them into the background on
destroy them absolutely. In short, the
true tyrant in this writer's opinion
must not fail to curb any influence thai
might tend to destroy the personal
power Of the Boss.

that is the language we use in speak

not justified in uttering sentiments
which apparently show a brutal disre-

Such language. it must be admitted

Then on down the scale we find the

willing to submit to the yoke on at
