ions fostering trusts, gave the republi-
cans much u~neasiness during the cam
paign. and forced their congressional
to make from the stump
pledges for such reform. Instead of the
being a protective tariff vic
tory, as claimed by some prominent
newspapers Of the north. the battle
was won through yielding 10 the de-
imand of h people for tariff revision.
The republican candidates n leaders
lsaw the storm that was gathering.
They showed their political wisdom in
.lvielding TO it instead of combating II.
Had they met the issue squarely and
taken up the democratic gage Of bat
tile they would have gone down before
storm. Instead Of raising the cry
Of revision of the tariff by its friends"
had they declared that it needed no re-
vision; that the present law was just
and fair in all it's parts and that they
were opposed to any amendments to il,
but if elected to congress they would
oppose any change in the existing law,
the results OF that election would have
been very different-so different that
the democrats would have secured the
control of the next house OF represen-
ltatives.
If We get this tariff revision, when is
lit to come? The presidents idea OF a
tariff commission, which did not take
well with the republicans at first when
they were saying the tariff did not need
revision now, seems to be growing more
popular, and the plan now is for the
congress at the approaching session to
appoint a commission on revision, to
report at the session converting in De-
Icember, 1903. Such action would, OF
course, bar all attempts to amend any
Iof the present provisions. The existence
Iof this commission would be a valid ex-
Icu5e in the eyes of the republicans for
Opposing all such legislation at the
coming session.
If the whole matter is settled and
THE plans all matured before congress.
meets what significance can there be in
the election as speaker of the next con-
Igress of an advocate of tariff revision?
THE reason for such course will no
longer exist. This being the case, will
the combination hold together? Will
not the different factions, when there
lis no longer any motive holding them
together, separate and thus again open
the fight which was for a time set
aside for political purposes? 1t looks
now as if Mr.. Cannon has already Sc
cured the speakership; but the election
does not lake place until next fall, and
I'VE look for indications before the pres
ient congress expires that this matter
has not been settled beyond contention.

John S. Cunningham, o. Person

warming to the farmers. He scents
danger ahead for the tobacco growers
unless they act conservatively. He
warns them against two ~thlnGs-rush-
ling the present crop into market SO
rapidly as to cause a fall IN prices and
la too large abandonment of food crops
for tobacco next year because of high
prices of the latter now prevailing.
ISuch a course followed by a bad sea-
son, Mr.. Cunningham says, would re-
suit in great disaster. The farmers of
eastern North Carolina made a splen-
did tobacco crop this year and with
prevailing high prices struck it rich
But they must not let their enthusiasm
run away with their Judgment. Plant
tobacco next year by ali means. but
let it be your surplus money crop; do
not abandon food crops fer it. Do not
iput all in tobacco and depend entirely
on buying food stuff and farm supplies
with the proceeds of sale Of that crop.
Raise your grain and vegetables and
meat as we'll. Then your tobacco; if a
good crop is made, will give you a sur
plus; if it should unfortunately be a

TARIFF REVISION AND THE SPEN,
ERSHI-.

According to the northern press Mr..
Cannon, of Illinois. is to be chosen
speaker of the next house of represen-
tatiyes as the champion of the princi-
pie of revision of the tariff by its
friends. Mr.. Cannon is not only the
choice of those congressman from the
states of the middle west who were
elected on pledges made during the
campaign for tariff revision, but the
eastern states delegations are falling
over each other in their haste to get
into the cannon line, although New
York has two candidates and Pennsyl-
vania, Vermont and Maine one each.
This is the way matters now stand
according to these northern newspa-
pers. There seems to be a widespread
opinion among republican leaders. born
of the feelings of the masses of their
party developed during the recent
campaign. that h time for tariff re-
vision has arrived. Anyhow there is
being made a preteuse of the existence
of suc an opinion. Whether it is
genuine or will materialize into action
is another matter which time alone can

KUHIO CAPTURES
VOTERS ON kauai
ROUSING MEETING AT HANALEI
STRONG TALK BY THE CANDI-
DATE-WHY HE Is REPUBLICAN,.

Prince Kuhio is repeating on Kauai
his success on Hawaii Reports brought
from Hanalei this morning by the
steamer he Au Hou are of the most
encouraging character. Kuhio is said
to have captured the natives in the Ha-
nalei district and to have completely
bowled over the Home Rule forces.
Prince Kuhio and party landed at
Hanamaulu last Sunday and began a
campaign of the windward part of the
island. A big luau was held at Hama
lei on Tuesday. The feast lasted the
entire day and was kept up late at
night Residents throughout the en-
tire district attended the affair Bull
locks, pigs and chickens were slaugh-
tered by the wholesale and the biggest
sort of a feast was provided.
Speeches were made. Prince Kuhio
by his tactful remarks appealed to the
common sense of his hearers and be-
fore he had spoken ten minutes had
won over practically every native
from the opposition.
My fellow Hawaiians," said Prince
kuhio, Il believe that you are with us.
believe that you realize that your in
terests lie with the Republican party
which can accomplish good for you.
and not with the Home Rule forces OF
wilcox, who has not and can not do
anything for you at Washington. I
felt that the interests and good of my
people demanded that / should Join the
Republican party and that is the rea-
son that you now see me in it's ranks.
But sure as l am that you are with
me, l want some practical demonstra-
ton of the fact. All those who are in
favor of the Republican party and are
Republicans will rise"
This unpXppctpd apuao1 with tic leo -
matte suddenness, appealed at once to
the natives and to man, they sprang
to their feet and cheered their young
leader "Huro no Kuhio; huro no Ku-
hio; malIou me oe!' they exclaimed.
The prince was unable for some min
utes to continue his speech, so pro-
longed was the cheering. Five hundred
people attended the meeting and the
tidal wave of the Prince swept the
Home Rule party completely off it's
feet.

DISTRICT-THE FIGURES.

The total number of persons apply
ing for registration on the Island Of
Oahu was 6543. The total number reg

Quoted from the total number The to-
tai registration two years ago was
569S, making the approximate increase
in registration 6S5.
The following table shows approx
imately- were 1.-The increase in registra-
ton has been, and where the decreases
are for in some cases there has been a
decrease.
The second and eighth precincts of
the Fourth District as now constituted
comprise substantially what was the
second precinct two years ago. For
this reasontO facilitate comparisons
the second and eighth precincts are put
together in the tabulation. In the
Fifth District the largest gain is in
the seventh precinct. This is largely
accounted for by the fact that the ma
uves and South Sea Islanders who two
years ago were located in a detention
camp on Punchbowl street below
Queen have since moved to Kalihi in
the seventh precinct of the Fifth Dis
trict.
The apparent gain has been 24S in the
Fourth District and 427 in the Fifth.
The real gain is about the reverse of

those in detention camp from one dis
trict to another
