DOUBTS AND FEARS.

The political situation seems to be
giving some people a good deal Of I'M
easiness. especially is this the case
over the organization of the Home
Rulers One would think that the
methods of the Home Rulers would be
well known by this time. Theoretically
the Home Rulers are we'll enough Or
ganlzed, practically they are morgan
lied, or spend so much time in talking
about how well they are organized that
they forget the objects, Of organization.
If any one will go back in memory to
last election the same conditions OBJ
tanned and when the election was over
there was the same claim of organiza-
ton and the same actual lack of it,
The last election was lost not by the
organization of the winning party but
in a great measure by the neglect of
the losers in the outer districts, and in
part by the arousing of an intense race
prejudice. When one looks oyer the
vote for delegate one finds that on
Oahu, where the greatest attention had
been paid the Republican vote was 249
ahead Of the Home Rule candidate,
The fourth precinct gave an over
whelming majority for Republican rep
resentatives, and four out of six SEN
ators for the third senatorial precinct
were Republicans. .,H.
Outside Of Oahu, however, there was
grievous neglect and it was outside
of Oahu that the Republicans suffered
defeat. But there is very different
state of affairs now. Precinct clubs
The Hawaiian star. [volume] (Honolulu [Oahu]) 1893-1912, 1902-08-15

have been organized throughout the
islands There is a lively interest taxi
en- in the campaign by people in the
district. That later i'm the day it will
be necessary to stump the islands is
true, but at the present time the quiet
work done by the officers and members
Of the precinct clubs is telling strongly.
Wilcox in spite of his meetings upon
Kauai and Maui is losing and not gain
ing ground. He is met by organization
which is like wall against which he
can dash himself to his own detriment.
To return to the organization of the
Home Rulers. We saw what it came
to when the party repaired to this city
and spent a couple of months in pre-
pairing for the Legislature session.
Bills were to be prepared, we were told
they were being prepared, and every
thing was to pass through the House
and the Senate in less time than the
Organic Act provided for. There was
to be no discussion, whatever discus
Slbll was W Nclht biA''f N'NAN ~ -
ried on behind the closed doors of Fos-
ter hall, and there were people who be-
lieved that everything had been ar
ranged.
Well the Legislature met, the closed
doors were opened, and everybody
waited to see the results of organized
effort. Everybody was disappointed,
for after the two months of laboring
not even mouse was brought forth.
There had been daily and nightly talk,
and there had been a great deal said
about organization, but the talk hal
been cheap, hot air. and the organiza-
ton proved disorganization.
Then came the Legislature and
ever since its two sessions the Home
Rule members have been figuring why
it was that with a majority in both
the House and the Senate no result
was reached. The reply is undoubtedly
because of lack of organization, though
other theories have been proposed.
But to any one who looks calmly on
results the reason is plain.
The leopard does not change his
spots. The Home Rulers are no better
organizers than they were two years
ago. The Republicans understand po-
litical organization a great deal better
now, than they did two years ago.
That there is hard work before the
Republicans is true, that unless they
work against the forces which circum-
stances and conditions bring against
them they will meet defeat is true.
But they do understand the situation,
they do realize the difficulties against
them, and they are working. 1t is by
no means the noisiest work that tells
Quiet, continuous work wins in the
end, and that is what a large number
of earnest and faithful Republicans
are doing.

The Porto Rican gentleman who has
determined to kill Judge Gear when he
comes out Of prison, will have two
years in which to cool off, unless some
enterprising attorney, with a grudge
against the judge, frees him on writ
OF have-his-carcass, or a writ Of
error, or an alibi, or some method Of
that kind. And then he might escape
and appear with glittering "machete"
or "cordelliera," or "tortilla," or re
bozo," or some other frightful Spanish
weapon in the dead of night. A COM
bination Of "tortilla" and "rebozo"
would be certain death.

the total Japanese population of the

was 25I67, while the total Hawaiian

RAMIE AGAIN.

hAMlE NNNl4Ns
Among our minor Industries we used
at one time to look towards ramie. We
know that we could raise from two to
three crops a year, and that the eN-
pense would be comparatively small.
A great deal of attention was paid to
the matter and at last a company was
formed, it mus, have been something
like eighteen years or so ago. At that
time there was a blacksmith ana ma
chinist named Coleman, who was quite
an inventor, and among things which
was a ramie machine. Indeed it was
the invention of the machine that help
ed to form the company.
Ramie fiber is of great value for
various purposes, among which is the
delicate material known as "penya"
which makes beautiful dresses. The
fabric, however, lis costly bee luse it IS
all made by hand. 1t was for this pur-
pose that machine or decorticator was
required. Coleman was. certain Re mad
was formed! IIflo was chosen as the
place most suitable for the plantation,
and quite a quantity of ramie was
planted. The crep was beautiful. New
er was such fine ramie seen as on Il e
Olaa road between seven and nine
miles from Hilo. Everything seemed
to be going well and, ramie stock went
up. 1t was the days before the boom
too.
After some failures here, the ma
chine was declared ready for use, and
if memory serves was duly patented
both here and on the mainland. Then
it was sent up to Hilo and some speci-
mems of the fiber came down and were
duly displayed in Whitney and Robert
sons window, who in those days occu-
pied the old post office building facing
the head of Kaahumanu street. 1t was
very good fiber but there never was
enough Of it. However everybody was
sorry that ramie stock could not be
obtained 80.
And then the machine broke down,
and it wouldn't work, and the bottom

fang did not have secret communities tionH
as to the status of the legationers. X.
will be remembered how the cipher mes.
sage from Conger was delivered to Sec
retary Hay, after 1T was generally believed
In this country that Conger was dead ant
all the 1egationers had been slaughtered.
A correspondent had an experience at
that time with Mr.. Wu which showed how
certain was his information. The min
lister was asked how it could be possible
for a small band Of civilians to defend
themselves for so long time against
thousands of armed rioters. The min
lister called a secretary and told him TO
explain by a diagram the situation OF
the members of the legation, and the
manner in which they had thrown up
Notifications. This was done and the
sketch was published at the time. The
facts disclosed many weeks afterwarH
showed that the situation was exactly as
Mr.. Wu's secretary had described it..
Not in many years has any member Of
the diplomatic corps become SO popular

His popularity and his notoriety began
with the: Griairon club The newspaper
men invited him to one of their toasting
dinners, and started In to have some
fun at his expense. But Mr.. WI was SO
good humored, and SO equal to the oc-
:casion, that he was voted a very good
fellow. He made a speech which was
clever and humorous. This was the be-.
ginning of the demand for him as a speak
.er. His work during the boxer troubles
brought him before the public still more,
and he Is now one of the best advertised
men in the country. He cannot begin to.
accept the dinner Invitations which reach
him, and it is nearly as hard to get him
for speech making occa sion, as 1t would
be to get the president. ss.-s<s
