YOUNG n,wAuaNs coaslNe

Tho Young Hawailans 81 Maui have
formed or are forming an Independent
political body which has Tor lis object
the choice Of good men Tor the Legisla-
ture This is a worthy undertaking
and means. " IL IL carried out the de-
feat 81 william white, the Lahaina sa-
loon-keeper. For the place he now
holds. two young men are being con-
sldered: Samuel Keliinol recently
connected with the Board Of Education
and T. B. Lyons. The Advertiser has
no special information about these as
pirants, but the young Hawaiians say
either can be depended on TO vote for
measures Of good government; and in
any event 1t is likely that either would
BE- an Improvement upon the average
Home Rule legislator of 1900.
What we especially commend is the
spiiit OF political independence which
the young Hawaiians are showing. The
new departure is by no means confined
to Maui. Here on oahu, Prince Cupid
and his friends have ranged themselves
steadily and unflinchingly against the
reactionary ideas OF the old crowd of
place hunters. The Prince, In many
ways, has shown himself to be the most
admirable politician OF his race, cool,
far-sighted and sagacious. He has for
gotter more about high politics than
the old line leaders of the Home
Rule party ever knew. That so many
other young Hawaians are adopting
his standard is one of the most hopeful
signs we know of that the Hawaiian
influence In politics is going to make
itself felt for good government.
If these young men hold their ground
and do not move to a lower level, they
viii honor the Hawaiian name and
achieve something worth while. ITO
place ones bark on the highest promon-
tory OF the beach and wait for the ris
ing of the tide to make 1t float" is the
essence of all craftsmanship; for to
hlgh-water mark the tide always comes
In time. 1t Is smooth sailing for those
who embark then.
The Hawaiian gazette., 1902-07-01
HAWAIIAN COINAGE.

While the Hawaiian coinage bill went
by the board owing to the inattention
Of Delegate Wilcox, the defeat of the
measure is rot one for unalloyed re-
gret.
When any country has n circulating
medium that will stay with it--one that
will not. in the ordinary course Of
banking and trade, be shipped away
and has, besides, a currency for export
purposes. both being legal tender, that
country IS pretty well fixed. As things
stand the Hawaiian dollar and the
United States dollar are at par In this
Territory. Nobody, will take the Ha-
waiian dollar anywhere else and it
stays here as a convenient and neces-
sary medium of exchange, subject only
to losses to collectors and through the
arts. For our outside trading the
American dollar is in hand.
This looks like a pretty good sys-
TEN to leave alone. OF course trouble
would come If the local banks should
refuse to take Hawaiian money. for
then it would depreciate in everybody's
pocket; but the banks show no signs
of such intent. In fact they are quite
as much interested in having a suffi-
cient medium of exchange in Hawaii
as is any one else.

HUMPHREYS VOTED DOWN.

There were ZIG votes cast at the cleo
ton in the third precinct of the Fourth
District last night. for candidates Tor
president of the precinct club. These
candidates were Mark Robinson ana
Abram S. Humphreys. Mr.. Robinson
got no votes; Judge Humphreys man
aged to get SIX.
Judge Humphreys was reported on
all sides to have made thorough can
wass His friends claimed that he had
absolute control of the Portuguese
Catholic vote and of the native ha-
wsiian vote. He was present at last
nights election to use his personal IN
huence. But when the voters turned
out they were all but unanimous
against him. Himself presumably ana
five others voted the Humphreys tex
ct. The rest combined to bury 1t under
a snowfall of adverse ballots.
1t looks like a general case OF con-
tempt of court. To be consistent with
his record Humphreys should send
each of the 40 to Jail for thirty days
and put each of the SIX in charge OF
some estate or other with an allowance
per capita of $4,000 for his services.
The Hawaiian gazette., 1902-07-01
PREACHING AND PRACTICE.

"a Judge who goes into active poll
tics degrades the high office TO when
he has been indicted"
The above sentiment was uttered by
A. S. Humphreys in the Republican
Territorial Convention as rebuke to
judicial incumbent who was present as
a delegate.
Yesterday this same A. S. Humph-
reys, now First Judge Of the First Cir
cult Court, did his level best, helped by
his friends, to get himself chosen pres
ident of precinct club. That he was
defeated by a vote of 40 to does not
in any way reflect upon the industry
with which he tried to carry the polls.
Probably Humphreys could not de-
grade his high office more In politics
than he has on the bench; but his prac-
tice az compared with his preaching is
of interest for the light it throws on
his methods.

KEANU DIES ON
THE SEA SHORE

Shortly after s o'clock yesterday
chiefess and reputed daughter of Ka-
mehameha V, was found upon the
beach at Waikiki. opposite the prem
ises of the late Queen Dowager Kapio-
lani, now occupied by Princes David
and Cupid. The woman had probably
been dead about an hour when discov-
cred, and her death is believed TO have
been due to apoplexy. She was well
when she left the Dowager's premises
early in the morning. She went across
the roadway 10 the bathing beach, dom
ned muumuu and entered the water
for a swim. Just how soon she was
overcome is not known. but 1t is evil
dent that she was upon the beach when
the attack came. The fact which led
to the belief of apopleXy was that the
face was much discolored. There is
nothing pointing to foul play and it is
not believed that she was drowned.
4 jury was empaneled yesterday
morning and the body viewed at the
morgue. An inquest was to have been
iltlu tiSl HlSHt at lllt ponce SNdNlpil Dul
was postponed until this afternoon.
keanu was woman OF imposing APP
pearanca and always commanded the
attention and respect of Hawaiians
wherever she went. She had the man
ner and dignity of n chiefess of the
royal blood and was looked upon by
the natives generally as one To whom
homage was due. She was a great
friend OF the late Princess Ruth and
| in later years was much with the late
Queen Dowager. She has been liesiding
| ON the premises at Pualeilani for sew
| eI,u years and was protected by the
| two Princes, as well as by the Dpwaser
| before them. For some time past she
! had not been right in her mind Sew
eral years ago her husband Went away
into the mountains and nothing more
was heard of him. She leaves several
| children.
| Al the breakfast and reception given
by Queen I.iliuokalani last year Keanu
was among those who called and her
appearance was much commented on al
that time. for. believing herself fully
| entitled TO respect and homage, she
swept majestically along amongst the
throns as If she were a reigninH queen

FAIR NOW

In building 60 by 100 f,ci In size

iuiu win house It's exhibits OF trade re-
sources Of the city, coinuident with the
holding 81 the Agricultural Fair This
decision was reached at a meeting OF
the committee In charge Of the EXPOSE
ton feature Of the merchants week.
and the building Is now In the hands
of contractors for figuring and there
seems every reason 10 believe that the
exposition viii be one OF the most elab-
crate and perfect that could be ex-
pccted to come from local merchants.
The site for the fair was kindly loan
ed by Captain @. Nick. Williamson. Of
the Army, in charge OF the grounds on
which is the Drill Shed, which Is to be
used by the Territory for the housing
OF the Agricultural Fair. The only con-
ditions attached to the grant of the
land is that the plans for the building
shall be submitted, and this Is simply
for the reason that the quartermaster
wants to know just what is TO be the
course of the merchants. There Is no
reason to believe that there will be
the slightest objection to the plans
which have been prepared for the assoc
citation, and the building as finally
erected undoubtedly will be along the
lines which have been agreed upon by
the committee.
The structure will be OF such height
as will give room for all possible dis
plays, and the floor space will permit
something like 1000 feet of exhibition
room. There will be such division of
40 90 MI - he III 49,.
forty booths. arranged in rows against
the walls and down the center, there
being aisles of ten feet in width to di-
vide them.
The committee will see that there
every comfort is arranged for the per-
sons who attend the fair, and the va
booths for the accommodation OF the
visitors.
There are proposed forty booths,
which will be occupied by the leading
firms of the city and the various lines
of trade viii be displayed to the sat
isfaction of every visitor. The mer-
chants of the city will be Joined for
this occasion by the many agents of
mainland and European manufacturers
and the displays will be of the utmost
Importance to the many storekeepers of
the Islands, and the buyers in general
The committee is also now consider
ing plans for the provision of amuse-
ments for the three days of the fair.

nolulu of visitors from all over the Is
lands. Races and a ball are contem-

The fair is now not only assured as
success. but the outlook is for such a
display as will discount any previous
showing and will set pace for every
future exposition OF trade resources

SEEKING AN ISSUE.

Iaphet in search of his father was
a prototype OF the modern Democrat In
search of an issue with which 20 go
before the country In 1904 The money
question seems TO have been definitely
abandoned and nothing Of equal i'm
portance has appeared to take its
Mace No Democrat cares to NEEDLE
with the tariff again: imperialism is
mn, more an indictment of the Repub-
lican PARTY than It is of the most use
fui and brilliant historical chapters IN
the past Of the Democracy; about all
that remains are the trusts. the water
cura and the beefless dinner pail.
Even these Issues do not promise all
that the Democracy could wish for.
BY attacking the beef trust IN the
courts President Roosevelt mas not
only freed his party from the ouor OF
complicity with criminal trusts as q
class. but has taken the best aVailaDle
means Of Keeping the dinner pan sup
plied should Congress follow UP the
advantage thus gained by placing on
the free list every food commodity
which may he cornered by a trust for
the purpose of raising the price to the
consumer the ground would be entire
ly cut from under the Democratic feet.
The water cure remains, but as an
issue IL does not shine with any stead
Ter glow than did the issue of embalm-
ed beef with which the Democrats tired
to beat Mckinley two years ago. Long
before 1904 the men responsible Tor the
sporadic cruelties to the Filipino Will
have been punished and the whole
sensation, stale from over-use, VIII
have been thrown on the rubbish heap
of INST issues. What thenI
About tine only hope the Democracy
can have is that hard times VIII come
again and make the people discomfort
ed with the party in power. The eX-
pectation of calamity is the anchor OF
its hope. But so far things look pam
fully encouraging. Gold is still How
ing in from Alaska the Kansas farm
ers are buying Panama hats; manu-
facturers are months behind in their
orders; Yankees are lending money In
London and figuring on the absorption
of the worlds sea trade. 1t looks ike

able in big majorities, to let well

STEAM BOATING IN UTAH.
Steamer Undine VIII Ply on the Grand
and Green Rivers.

A few days ago the Inhabitants of
the little town OF Moab, located on the
Grand river in eastern Utah, were as
tonished at the sight of genuine
steamboat making its way slowly up
the river and stopping in front of their
place. There was no wharf to tie to.
1t was the steamer Undine, Captain
Summerville, that had made its way
down the Green river from Green Riv-
er station, on the Rio Grande Western,
to its junction with the Grand, and
then up the Grand to Moab. The de-
tails of this initial trip are given by
the Grand Junction Sun. The Undine
Is sixty feet long, with q ten-fOot
beam, and is capable of carrying thirty
tons of freight. The time occupied III
the trip is not stated, but Captain
Summerville announced to the people
of Moab that he would carry their
freight to and from Green River sta
tion at much less cost than the pres
ent wagon haul. This proposition was
enthusiastically received by the farm
ers and fruit growers of that section,
who thus saw a way to get their fruit
to market instead of permitting it to
rot on the trees, as has been the GUS
tom heretofore. If he can obtain
enough freight the captain will inau-
gurate regular service. The currents
OF these rivers are very swift, but If
the Undine is built as she should be,
there is no reason known to the News
why steamboat service should not be
successfully inaugurated on these riv-
ers. Steamboating in the very heart
of the continent may strike some peo-
pie as novel, If not impractical, but it
should be remembered that the Green
and the Grand are both might rivers
with volumes of water exceeded by
few streams on the continent.-Denver
