MIGHTY INTEREs STING.
(CoMMUNIoATED)

Under the heading Roasted the
tar out OF Humphreys" the Adver-
tiser yesterday rorning published
an elaborate account of the attack
made by Judge Wilcox on the Cir
cult Judges in connection with the
case Of Bai,ff Ellis.
A careful scrutiny of the pages OF
our morning contemporary today
failed to reveal single line of the
sequel to the above story, "Roast-
ed the tar out of Brown" drama
OF real life 10 one act by Judge Viii
COX, which appeared in last even
ing's issue OF The INDEPENDENT, and
which would, no doubt, have been a
mighty interesting reading for he
readers Of The Advertiser.
According to the Advertiser
political refugees who have been
driven from their Eastern homes
and have sought new start on the
confines Of civilization" should not
be given a chance 10 make that
start. They are a crowd OF "ofiice
seekers" "monsrchists," "demago
gues" and control the Circuit Court,
the Legislature, in fact, everything
in sight.
1t would be interesting to know
and we beg the Advertiser to tell us,
if one Walter G.. Smith, ex. General
and agitator of Southern California
and Mexico, is included in that
crowd OF political refugees who
have sought a new start on the con-
fines OF civilization" That would
also be a mighty interesting con-
feseion to make.

THE INDEPENDENT hos the latest
edition OF Webster's dictionary
which it will be pleased to place at
the disposal of the society editor OF
the Advertiser for use at the next
social function. In the account OF
Princess Kawananakoa's reception
this morning, the Advertiser uses
some appropriate ad jectives, but the
recipients OF them should have been
more numerous. In such case the
paper would keep up it's circulation
and sell like hot cakes.
Following are some examples OF
the bouquets thrown this morning
to certain class OF guests at yester
days reception;

Although ra.her late in the day,
but it is nevertheless fresh that in
the recent election by the Hooulu
and Hoola Lahui Society OF officers
for the ensuing year, The INDEPEND
ENT is OF the opinion that an unfair
advantage has been taken in the
choice of the presiding Officer,
which may have bsen made uu-
tentionally, upon an older member
Of the society. We here refer to
the selection OF Princess Kawanana-
koa. 1t may have been we'll meant,
but We feel that the choice should
have gone to Princess Kalanianaole,
the ages OF their respective hug
bands should not have been at all
weighed in the balance. During
the life of the late and much be-
loved Princess Kaiulani, she was
mentioned for the presidency, but
her age was used as an argument
against her selection. II auch was
the case then with one who was
more identified with the society,
why has the change come about in
this latter dayi Wealth should not
be at all considered, but precedence
in age and in length OF membership
should, and of which the latter is
entitled to both.

GEORGIA PEACHES.
Shipments Made to England Experiment
Proves Success.

Macon, Ga, August 25.-Reports have
been received by the Hale Orchard Com
pany from England, to which country
two car loads of peaches were shipped a
short time ago as an experiment, to de-
termine whether or not it was practicable
to ship Georgia fruit to European mar
kets, and to see whether or not the prices
would be satisfactory in case the ship.
ments could be made successfully. 1t
has been demonstrated that the fruit can
be shipped in first class condition and
that the prices realized bring a hand
some profit. This is the information
given out by the shippers. The govern
ment backed the Hale Orchard Company
in the experiment, it being considered
a most important matter to this country.
Those who have been Watching the rapid
increase in the orchards planted in Geor-
gia within the past few years, when the
number of growing peach trees increased
from seven million to thirteen million,
will receive with much JOY the news that
the markets are expanding more rapidly
than the orchards are increasing. 1t is
believed that the Hale experiment proves
beyond doubt that European markets
will bid for Georgia fruit next season.

There is more catarrh in this section
of the country than all other diseases
put together, and until the last few years
it was supposed to be incurable. For q
great many years doctors pronounced 1t
q local disease, and prescribed local rem
edies, and by constantly failing to cure
with local treatment, pronounced it in
durable. Science has proven catarrh to
be constitutional disease, and it there
fore requires constitutional treatment.
Halls Catarrh Cure, manufactured by r.
j. Cheney S Co., Toledo, Ohio, is the
only constitutional cure on the market.
It is taken internally in doses from ten
drops to a teaspoonful. 1t acts directly
on the blood and mucous surfaces of the
system. They offer one hundred dollars
for any case it fails to cure. Send for

The Era Of Grea! Trusts.

New York, August 25.-Russell Sage,
in an interview to-day, referred to pub
lished statement quoting j. Pierpont
Morgan as saying that the era of great
trusts had just begun, and that more
gigantic corporations are stored in the
near future, some of which may over
shadow the Steel Trust Mr.. Sage said
Whether Mr.. Morgan said that or not,
combinations of all industries are a
menace to true government. Not only
so, but they are the oppressors of the
people,"
"What will DO tho result of such an
eraS' asked a reporter.
"In such an event the American people
will revolt against them and there will
be financial ruin the like of which this
country has never seen, or any other"
1t was suggested to Mr. Sage that
there was a general opinion that combi-
nations at certain times were good
things for the country.
'Yes," Mr.. Sage replied, "when seve-
raj industries are starting out in busi-
ness it is we'll for individuals to combine
for protection until tho business is firmly
established. When the business is so
established, the combination should be
disruptNd and conducted on individual
lines. Then il one individual should
become embarrassed it would not
mean the wrecking of the industry. 1
believe it is better to have such indus
tries divided among several individuals
than combined into one great combina-
tion, the embarrassment of which would
mean the ruin of ALL"
