Now that we know what sort of a
political future we have to face, it may
be we'll to set our House in order. The
Treasurership is vacant. A new Treas
urer should be appointed as soon as
possible. The great objection made by
several proposed candidlte5 was the
risk of not being confirmed by a Home
Rule Senate. But the lone Rule SON
ate passed away on the fourth of No
vember, 1902, and we snail have a Re-
publican Senate whenever the confirm
alton might be asked for. Tnis would
assure the incumbent of the Office Gin
firmation if proper person were NOM
mated, for personal ranCor would cut
no figure in the Republican legislature.
A man would not be turned down SIM
ply because he was a nominee of The
Governor. But this is what would have
happened if we had had a Home Rdle
legislature.
In the case of the Treasurership the
business men and the large moneyed
interests should be consulted The
Treasurer should be a man who has the
confidence of the business community.
1t is not a chief clerk that is wanted
but 1t is a man of substance ana
weight. There are men amply fitted by
integrity and ability to fill the posi-
ton, but who are not responsible
enough in the eyes Of the business conf
munity The qualities demanded of a
Treasurer at this present juncture are
peculiar and they must be such as TO
restore a confidence which was so rude
VI broken by the embezzlements car
ried on by w, H. Wright.
With the idea of thus restoring con-
iidence The Star urged the appoint
ment of Fred w. Macfarane. Not on
ly was and is Mr.. Macfarlane a bold
and successful financier, but he is a
man who has the confidence of the
business men throughout the Islands,
has large private means, and is thor
oughly able, and has also a large circle
and very strong friends among the Hd-
waiians But excellent as Mr.. Macfar-
lane would have proved, he has declin-
ed the position, and not even the clear
ing of the political atmosphere will liz
duce him to change his mind.
There are other candidates o. posi-
BILE candidates, some of whom are seek
ing the position, and others who will
not ask, but might consider the posi-
ton if offered. Among these Theodore
f. Lansing's name stands prominent,
and there is no doubt but that he would
make an able official. He has been
Minister of Finance under the Repub-
lie, and was the first Territorial Treas
urer. He was turned down by Home
Rule Senate without any cause, and he
would make a thoroughly satisfactory,

Payment for land taken by the Gov

delayed. The matter has been sur
rounded by red tape. The last piece
OF that valuable commodity showed up
when the coin actually arrived and
could not be paid out because no in

Tanbara, who murdered Captain
Jacobsen, has confessed his crime. The
confession duplicates the cook Otto who
was under very strong suspicion. Both
the Grand jury and District Attorney
Breckons were satisfied that the cook
was connected with the crime, but it
was impossible to obtain evidence
which would give a reasonable hope of
conviction before any jury. The con-

FRIGHT OF UNCLE REMUs.
Rabbit He Nearly Threw
= Fit.

The japanese maiden and the moon
do not equal Uncle Remus in shyness.
Mr.. Joel Chandler Harris, of Atlanta,
Ga, who is called "Uncle Remus" by
his friends and the public, is probably
the shyest man in the country. 1t is
not assumed; it is temperamental. 1t
is beyond his strength to be introduced
to stranger, and he gets frightened
if he had to talk to anyone whom he
does not see daily. His family and his
friends have unfortunately so fostered
this sensitiveness of his that now he
will never be able to overcome it, says
the Philadelphia Saturday Evening
Post.
When he was an editorial writer on
the Atlanta Constitution, Mr.. Howell,
who was the editor-in-chief, saw to it
that Mr.. Harris room was as safely
guarded from interruption as royalty
would be. The presence Of a stranger
in the room for few moments would
have upset him so that he could not
have written an editorial that day. On
his first trip to New York he registered
as 81. c. Harris" so that no one would
think of him as ''Uncle Remus."
Now his shyness has extended to his
work. Recently he went into the house
of an intimate friend in Atlanta, and
as he entered the library he heard a
member of the family reading Brer
Rabbit. He had stage fright at once at
the sound of his own written words.
The host jumped up and said: ''Here
is the very man, children, to help you
out I can't read this dialect. Joel,
please finish up this story for the fam
ily."
Mr. Harris declared that he would
60 home at once if they asked him to
read or if he heard another line of
that story read before him. The book
had to be closed and the children told
not to talk about it.

I was not shaken by any great
amazement. Though it was beyond
my poor art to compass this thing my
self, having occupied my mind in exile
more with memories of Nais than in
study of those uppermost recesses of
the higher mysteries in which Zae-
mon was so prodigiously wise, still I
had some mixing of his power.

again in his dwelling on the Sacred

promise now for my reward, and I
knew that he would carry it into eff

FARMER.
Seven Years Ago he Had But $24;
Now he Has Seventy Head
Of Cattle.

Farmers Learned When on a Re
cent Trip to Canada-SpIendid
Words About Saskatoon,
ROsthcrn and RaEue Dis
trict Where They
VIII Locate.

Messrs. j. Z. Blum and j. Grumper,
of Manchester, Washtenaw Co., Michi-
gan, paid a visit to Alberta last sum-
mer and saw there a Mr. Shantz, one of
the good old Pennsylvania stock, who
had come recently-sOme seven years
agO-frOm Ontario, with $24 in his
pocket. He has certainly prospered
as he now owns over 20 head of cattle,
has a good log house framed over,
also a good barn and in all respects
looks a thrifty and well-to-dO farmer
He had some good crops of oats and
barley. After spending some days in
Calgary and Edmonton they returned
to Regina, Assiniboia, and looked
around the country North to Lums-
den and BalgOnie where the crops APP
peared very promising and heavy, con-
tinuing up the Regina and Long Lake
Road they came to Saskatoon on the
crossing of the South Saskatchewan
River. Of this district they say
"The country here pleased us better
than any we have seen. We drove out
eighteen miles in nOrthwesterly direc-
ton through the Smith settlement.
This is wonderful district, the growth
was splendid, all kinds of grains and
roots were perfection. The older set
tiers had good buildings of all kinds
and looked very prosperous, in fact
we came to the conclusion that we had
found what we were looking for, a
good country. While the nature of the
soil changes and is in some parts light,
in others stony, and again heavy, gen
orally speaking it leaves nothing to be
desired. Hay and water are also in
abundance and wood can be found
along the river slopes and islands.
We have decided to locate there and
shall certainly advise our friends to
do likewise. We also trust that this
report may have the effect of draw
ing the attention of land seekers to
this district, and can honestly advise
all such to locate there. They will find
good thing. AS farmers ourselves,
from good district in Michigan, we
have come to the conclusion that prop
erly farmed Western Canada will grow
almost anything" Ask for informa-
ton from any agent of the Canadian

THE RUSSIAN SOLDIER.
Simple Amusement and Pleasures
with Which He Is COntent-A
Poorly Paid Army.

How simple are the Russian soldiers
may be judged from their amusements,
SAYS writer in Pearson's Magazine,
Their only games are of the most
primitive character, like our aunt
Sally" Their greatest pleasures ara
singing, dancing, and playing on the
''harmonika," a musical instrument
like a concertina; or the 'ballailai-
ka," national musical instrument
something like banjo, which will keep
them amused for hours. If he can
only play two or three tunes, Ivan
Ivanovitch will be able to enjoy him
self rapturously.
Singing, however, is the greatest
Measure, and chorus singing is a great
feature in the Russian army's accom-
plishments. The number of songs an
ordinary soldier knows is beyond be.
lief. Singing is encouraged by the Of
ficers, and the men with the best voices
are specially rewarded. Among illit-
crate people, the singer will always be
able to exert a great influence. One
has only to see Russian regiment on
the march to understand what moral
power the singers can give the soldiers.
Ivan Ivanovitch stands greatly in
need of cheap forms of amusement, for
he is wretchedly paid. He is the worst
paid soldier in Europe, and therefore
has a very hard time during his four
years of service unless his good folks
at home are inclined TO be generous.
