MANY IMPROVEMENTS
IN EIGHTEEN YEARS.
MIR. e. c. Richardson of Boston COM
ments on Savannah's Growth.

MIR. f. c. Richardson of Boston Conn
ments on Savannah's Growth.
Savannah has changed wonderfully
during the last eighteen years, and it
is hard TO realize that it is the same
city. I am gratified to see the advance
of the city. and the Improvements that
have been made in that space Of time
have been innumerable"
Mr.. E. C. Richardson of Bos-
ton. formerly resident of
this city and member of the
firm of Richardson & Barnard, made
this statement yesterday before his de-
parture for Augusta. Mr.. and Mrs.
Richardson were at the De Soto for
several days, and the former Savan-
nathan was afforded splendid oppor-
tunities to go over the city and notice
the improvements that have been made
since he left here.
why when l left Savannah the Cot
ton Exchange was just being COM
pleted, and Savannah had no De Soto
Hotel. Let me say right here that /
have lived in a great many hotels in
all parts of the country, and that the
De Soto compares favorably with the
best of them. 1t is not only attractive
in appearance, but the service is as
good as can be secured anywhere. The
hotel is one of the additions to Sa-
vannah that has made an impression.
Many, many buildings have gone up
since 1 was here last and the growth
of Savannah has been little short of
remarkable
THE Seaboard Air Line terminals
on Hutchinsons Island make quite a
change in the appearance of things on
the Bay, and the Union Depot has
made West Broad street a lively
thoroughfare. Savannahians who have
been living here while this work of
Improvement has been going on can
not appreciate the many changes that
have taken place in the past eighteen
years. The squares and parks are
beautiful, and the large number of
paved streets add very much to the
appearance of the city. You remem-
Der. there was once an unsightly iron
fence around Forsyth Park and the
squares were all fenced in. 1t is graft
flying to me to see these many signs of
prosperity and progress in my old
home, and l am glad to hear that
there will be a new city hall very
shortly, and that this beautiful and
historic old city now has a Chamber
of Commerce"

DAMAGE TO PEACHES
LESS THAN WAS THOUGHT.

Information Given in Report From
Northwestern Pnrt of state.
The recent freeze in North Georgia
did not damage the peach crop to the
extent that it was at first feared it
had. According to a letter received
by President John M. Egan of the Gen.
trail of Georgia yesterday it is stated
that at Summerville and the vicinity
the peach growers think the outlook
for the crop is much better than 1t
was short time ago.
The further information is given
that the Elbertas are less injured than
are the other varieties, and that indi-
cations are that a larger crop will be
handled over the Chattanooga division
of the Central than was shipped over
it last year. AS Summerville is away
up in the northwestern part of the
state it is thought that if the conditions
there are so satisfactory the damage
further south will be found to have
been even less, and that a large crop
will, in consequence, be harvested.

Electricity is swift and thought is
said to be quicker, but if you want to
see something with decided move on
just watch the missionaries flop into
the Democratic party when a Demo-
cratic President is elected next year.
The Hawaii Herald's "clear case of
color line" because "Blacow, the only
white man nominated on the Home
Rule ticket for that Office Chat of Su-
pervisor) was defeated, while Desha,
the only Hawaiian nominated by the
Republicans for the same office, was
elected" is not as "clear" as the
ease" might be. How about Oahu?
The Republicans had only nominated
four Hawaiians out of fourteen candi-
dates, and is not that as good "a clear
case of color line" as the general run
of Republican nominations throughout
the whole country? The desire of the
Republican element Is to run the
whole country and they want to do it
only with white men in the majority.
Their cry should be-"No Hawaiians
need apply, for we mean to make this
a white mans country" And yet this
self-same crowd, who despoiled and
hate Hawaiians to the quick, expect
Hawaiians to vote them into soft and
fat Offices; and because they are not
voted in, they cry that the color line"
was what did the business,

Would anyone attach blame to Ha-
waiian for not voting for malihini
whom he knows nothing at all about?
And even then, we wouldn't blame him
if he didn't vote for any of those ka-
maaina haole Republicans, because
they are all tarred alike. Outside CT
their votes and their women, they have
no use whatever for the kanaka, mis-
trusting everyone of them and are do
ing everything in their power to be-
little them, and those in the Republican
party are being forced out by abuse,

Never before during monarchical

Ing eminence and prominence alike To
be princess or a chiefess these days
is getting to be quite a disease, but
hardly one of those named turned out
to grace and honor the last sad process

less felt queer at the last moment and
remained out of honor and of caste.

Legislature being called to assemble,
the only rightful body to order their
being produced and brought forward?
When the Accounts Committee made
its report and it was adopted by the
House on the last night of the session,
that report became part of the
Houses record, and not the vouchers,
which remained in the custody Of the
officer directly responsible for their
safe-keeping as well as for his own
protection. We think this investiga-
tion by the Federal grand jury is all
bosh and may as well stop short, or
else the Legislature should be called
together for the especial delectation Of
the Advertiser and Star crowds, who
have howled themselves hoarse in
making capital about the destruction
of House vouchers, which is a hoax
and fake of the worst kind-to do
Hawaiians up.

The weakness of the American army
was exemplified by conditions on the
transport Sheridan. On that boat
were some sixty officers in charge of
more than twelve companies of men,
going, it is presumed, to the scene of
trouble in the Philippines. In charge
OF the officers was a band of wahines,
going out there at large expense,
where they have no business and are
in the way. To the officers of the
American army this Philippine affair
seems to be honeymoon lark and
worse.

Because two newspapers, both Re-
publican, speak favorably of the re-
cent Federal appointments, is that
any reason why Maui and Hawaii are
made, according to the Advertiser, to
approve of Dole and Carter?" The
recent election on both Islands should
be taken as a better cue of public SEN
timent than either of our uninfluential
contemporaries. Dish up another "ap-
proval" make-believe which is better
than nothing at all to the hearts of the
faithful.

"Color line was strongly drawn in

some of the most energetic and strenu-

One very funny and peculiar method
of making known the present day
growth of royalty is that sister or
wife is heralded forth as princess, ="

royal, why is the brother plain, both
having the same parents? Can anyone

responsible for making it appear as
"Haliewa" instead. "Mauna Loa" and

The Panama trouble is purely and
plainly conspiracy between the Re-
publican government at Washington
on the one side and American and En-
glish spectators at Panama on the
other to wrest piece of valuable land
from the United States of Colombia.
When Admiral Glass fleet was ordered
some weeks ago to go south it was for
the express purpose of taking care of
this revolution. Washington not only
knew that it was coming but knew
when it would come. The case is al
most identical with the Stevens coup
here in 1893, except in the present
case the Government is directly in
touch with and principal party to
the conspiracy.

That women will figure directly in
the politics of Hawaii in future will
almost certainly occur. Opinions diff
fer, and will always differ, perhaps,
g., to the necessity or wisdom of CIV
ing the gentler sex the right to vote.
The question came up in the constl-
tutional convention of 1894, but the
petition of certain ladies for rights un-
der the constitution then under COIL
siGeration was turned down by the
f. G.'s on the plea that If made law
the native women would outvote the
white women! In New Zealand, Wy

have been given the right to vote the
