COMMERCIAL REVIEW.
General Trade Conditions.

r. G.. Dun & Co.'S Weekly Review
Of Trade says:
Gradual resumption OF anthracite
coal mining is encouraging, although
the output is not yet sufficient TO have
any commercial value. Business CON
ditions arc unsatisfactory al the strike
center, but reports from all other see
lions indicate unusually prompt revival
al,er the summer vacation season with
exceptionally large operations among
dealers in the agricultural regions
Notwithstanding some bad weather,
large crops are now practically assur-
ed, although the most sanguine results
may not be attained. Manufacturing
plants are now fully occupied as d rule,
the least gratifying reports coming from
furnaces that cannot secure coke owing
to railway blockades. The Transporter
ton probleni is becoming serious, as
the factor of crop moving is about to
be added, and moreover, much coal
must be moved by rail that u,u3lly
goes to consumers by lake and canal.
Iron furnaces are stlSpending pro-
ducton because coke cannot be sccur-
cd and it is evident that the rate OF
output at the opening of'the new month
will show a serious loss.
The dry goods jobbing trade re-
ports liberal di,tribu ion, AMI sup
plies arc only moderate in the primary
market Changed conditions in the
raw material have accelerated inquiries
for cotton goods. buyers seeking figures

1t is well to go abroad occasionally
to learn the opinion of people relative
to ones home affairs. In a trip to
Hilo it is learned that there is di-
versity of opinion amongst the Su-
preme Court judges here, amounting
almost TO an unfriendly feeling be-
tween the two brotherlike graduates
of Oahu College, Frear and Perry, and
the stranger from the Mainland, Gal.
braith. The causus belli is said to be
on account of the widely diverse DIS
senting opinions which Judge Gal
braith presents, in contradistinction to
those of his associates, and which ap-
peal to the intelligent layman as in
accord with right and justice and indi-
eating the absence OF any strings be-
ing wound about them. There are a
few irons being heated in the fire for
the elder occupiers OF the Supreme
Court bench and the brands when ap'
piled will cause them considerable un'

so that the Committee on Accounts. of

do so. The Senate met in the after
noon only to adjourn, which 1t might
have done earlier; but, then, the order

VERY PROBABLE.

A rumor has been going the rounds
that the Republican Delegate-elect has
been repeatedly disregarded lately in
many caucuses held and when present
his suggestions have been, almost en-
tirely ignored, He has insisted and
has obtained some hearing but all OF
which has been side-tracked by the
Senatorial majority, which will do only
thai which its own caucus decides.
But. it is limited, that if such is to be
the continued treatment accorded to
the leading candidate of the people
and all who made success a fact, they,
the machine, will rue it in the near flu
ture. OF course, these are only con-
lectures and rumors which will have to
be verified later. Should the rumors
turn out to be true, it is perfectly safe
to say that the Republicans cannot
hold the Delegate down to any prom
ises or set policy, and it is we'll to re-
member what we have repeatedly said
that, the young man is strong-minded
and will assert himself That he has
mind of his own, we know, and the
Republicans may yet regret their dis
courtesy.

sub judice? Shame The thin coat

crevices give opportunity to show the

WHO Is RgSpONsIBLt?

In placing the responsibility for the
escape of Treasurer Wright, the Senate
Committee who investigated the
Treasury department, in It's report
handed in yesterday to the Senate,
states that it cannot place the respon-
sibility of w. H. Wrights fight on the
Secretary of the Territory If there Is
any responsibility in the matter; II
may be on the Attorney Generals De-
partment; but, the Attorney General Is
away at this time and your committee
is unable TO get his evidence" or
course Cooper is not responsible; no,
hardly ever; and the responsibility is
placed upon an absent official. But
why place it there when all the facts
are at hand? Furthermore, why was
the recrcant official allowed 10 so on
vacation just at the time the Senate
was called to assemble and was about
to come together? A wireless could
have brought the Attorney General
back from his vacation, had it been
insisted upon, in spite of his physi-
clans advice to go and take a rest and
enjoy quietness and avoid worry for
few days. And Cooper remains
whitewashed but not unblemished,
Both officials are brethren in frater-
nifty, who both believe in beholding
how pleasant it is for brethren to dwell
in unity" Here is fine, clear cut in
stance, for, united in suspicion they
would fall if divided in testimony.

granted vacation on his doctors ad-
vice. Placing the responsibility upon
one who is absent may be all very well
to whitewash a "blother," but 1T can
not fool the public, although it sue
ceoled in treating the Senate TO an ac-
cepted monkey play. OF course the
Senators are here for the purpose of
doing the Governors bidding and
they've done it. but the American Con-
gress is yet to be heard from.

We are given to understand that,
when the Senate committee failed TO
place the responsibility, for the flight
of Treasurer Wright, upon the proper
party, it did so knowing full well the
connection of the Attorney General in
the case, When that on.cial was noLi-
fed, so we are informed, he was ready
and willing to act at once, but the great
man cautioned him not to make a
move, as he expected TO have the mon
ed replaced. However, the committee
says the responsibility for Wrights
fight may be on the Attorney Cen
eral," whom his uncle (the GoyerHor)
