HIS LAST HOPE REALIZED.

(From the Sentinel, Gego, Mont.l
In the first opening of Oklahoma to
settlement in 1889, the editor of this
paper was among the many seekers after
fortune who made the big race one fine
las in April. During his travelling about
and afterwards his camping upon his
claim, he encountered much bad water,
which, together with the severe heat.
gave him a severe diarrhoea which it
seemed almost impossible to check, and
along in June the case became so bad he
expected to die. One day one of his
ucighbors brought him one small bottle
OF Chamberlain's Collie, Cholera and Diar-
rhoea Remedy as a last hope. a big
dose was given him while he was rolling
about on the ground in great agony, and
in few minutes the dose was repeated.
The god effect of the medicine was soon
noticed and within an hour the patient
was taking his first sound sleep for a
fortnight. The one little bottle worked
4 complete cure, and he cannot help but
feet grateful. The season for bowel dis.
orders being at hand suggests this item.

BONDING OF OFFICIALS.

1t is perhaps hardship under the OIL
fetal bonding bill to compel the chief
of a department to become responsible
for the acts of clerks who are not bond
ed to him, but better that than the
hardship to taxpayers which might re-
suit from the continuance of the ire
sponsible system that now prevails.
The recent scandals in the Treasury
and the Board of Public Works were
due, in degree, to the absence of that
restraint which vigilant bondsmen eX-
ercise. Learning by experience, the
Legislature passed remedial measure
which now awaits the Governors sig
nature. 1t is highly important that the
bill should become a law; and because
of that the public will hope that Gov
ernor Dole, despite his objections to
signing bills after the adjournment of
the Legislature, Will put his name to
this one. A question of etiquette should
not stand in the way of such signal
service to the Territory.
The clause complained of, the one
making chief responsible for the acts
of his subordinates may be embarrass-
ing to the chief in one way but 1t would
prove a help to him in another. He
would insist then, on appointing his
own clerks and the public would gam
by the assurance that he would choose
honest ones. No one could reasonably
ask him to appoint this or that man for
reasons of politics or gratitude; he
would be tacitly conceded the right to
make his own choice.

CLAIMANTS MAY ACT.

Having failed to secure bids for the
Fire Claims bonds, the government now
tells the claimants just what they must
do If they hope TO be able to secure full
liquidation of their claims, While the
work of prohatng the long list of
awards is going on, Secretary Carter
has given the opportunity for the
awardees to come up and subscribe for
bonds in the ratio of 24,5 per cent. OF
the total of their claims,
This plan for the paying OFF of the
claims has been discussed at length and
the giving of this opportunity seems to
be the only way for the temper of the
Oriental claimants 10 be accurately
taken. There are many of these claim
ants who are now paying per cent. on
money borrowed on the strength of the
awards. They are baking at the dis
count of 2ha per cent. which would be
apparent, il they sold the bonds at 90,
after taking them for one quarter of
their claims.
If there is no agreement on the part
of the claimants to take the bonds the
matter again becomes one of waiting.
Attempts Will be made to have the Leg
islature pass appropriations to meet the
discount, but 1t will not be Immediately
helpful and consequently the matter
seems To be up to the claimants.

PLUCKING TOURISTS.

Complaint is again made by tourists
of excessive charges by hackmen
Ladies who get off steamer TO drive
over the city and are assessed six dol
lars apiece for the privilege naturally
complain, as do those who are made
to pay double fares between the dock
and the business district uptown. But
the complaint is not confined to them.
1t is shared by every citizen who wants
tourists treated fairly so that they may
stay long, come again and give the
place a good name afterward.
More than one promising resort has
been spoiled by the greed of hackmen-
Niagara Falls for instance. For years
the crowds kept away from there SIM
ply because of the manner in which
the hackmen despoiled them. Finally
the citizens came to the rescue of the
town, put the hack business under a
stiff curb and now Niagara's prospects
are picking up again.
Here the tourist trade is in peril of
being strangled at birth and by the
very men who would profit most by
Honolulu's popularity among pleasure
seekers. Not all hackmen are in the
game, but enough are to neutralize
much of the work being done by the
Merchants Association to attract tour
lists here.

The latest mares nest is that the Cir
cult Courts are to be deprived of jurors
until January, 1905. So far as the com
ing term is concerned, the new act, in
section 81, provides that it shall take
effect August LIST, 1908, until which time
the old law will prevail. In relation
to the period intervening between that
date and January, 1905, section of the
act states that, until such Jury Com
missioners shall have been duly APP
pointed and qualified according to law"
such selection and list of
such persons to serve as jurors as
aforesaid shall be made, in the manner
aforesaid, by a Judge and Clerk of the
Circuit Court" The act further de-
clares that, Whenever sufficient
number of jurors are not drawn or
summoned" the Court may
order the Sheriff to summon"
"talesmen as may be required" For the
present this is sufficient. There may be
some questions under the new legisla-
ton, which can be disposed of when
they are reached
The Hawaiian gazette., 1903-05-05

With the preliminary skirmish over
the work of passing appropriation bills
now will be undertaken in earnest by
the legislators. The Senate gives most
promise of speedy conclusion, for the
money asked for expenses is not enough
to justify expectations for long sit
ting. The Upper House has estimated
that its work can be done for $4,000,
which leaves only $4,000 for expenses al
ter salaries are paid. Not SO the
House, for with only $4,000 for salaries
that body will have $4,000 for expenses
and as no dollar is nimble enough to
get away, it is safe to predict that the
session will be held on until all is
spent.

THE SlSAL INDUSTRY.

The value of the eisal Industry is now
fairly proved In these islands. Its value
I'm the Bahama islands has already been
proved, but no hearsay evidence salts
fies the investor here. He demands dem
onstration Now he has It, The new
industry Is one which depends upon the
quick, rapid work of machinery, In the
place of hand labor, and 1t is not until
recently that such machinery has fully
answered commercial dem ands. vine In
dustry received a set back, several years
ago, in the Bahamas, owing to defective
machinery, but at the present time all
difficulties have been removed, and the
fbre-making machines are thoroughly
practicable and successful.
1t is fortunate that no serious at
tempts were made ten or twenty years
ago, to establish this industry here, for
1T would have failed. 1t has been es-
tablished here, just at the right mo-
ment to reap the benefits of all of the
great expenditures of money, time, skill,
and invention, which have finally been
contaminated in this wonderful mech
anism for preparing fibre.
Much credit is due to the men who
are the pioneers in this business 1t re-
uuired pluck and enterprise to leave the
beaten paths, and blaze a way into the
unknown wilderness Of experiment.
1t is now established that the sisal
plant will grow on any of our soils. 1t
does well on pure limestone, and on the
clay soils. While it is a dry plant, it
is benefited by the use of water. 1t
will maintain itself without water, dur
ing the dry spells, and until the rainy
season comes in 1t is, therefore, plant
for the leeward side of all of the
islands.
The sisal industry may be classed
among the small industries, because
men with moderate means can engage
in 1t. The cost of the machinery is
small, and it can be easily transported.
Large tracts of land, of which no use
is now made, will be put in sisal. The
barren ridges, between the valleys on
the Island of Oahu, should be covered
with the plant and present a color of
everlasting green, even during the dry
Land on the other islands,
made useless for general cultivation, by
lava flows, can be turned into vast fields
of sisal.
No doubt the price of the fibre will
nuctuate, as the price of sugar tluctu-
ates, but it is a staple article, and, like
all staple articles, WILL in the long run,
command a fair profit. The value of
sisal hemp imported into the United
States during the year 1902, was SILL
961, 213. Per ton, it's value was $l34.OO.
The uses of this fibre are extensive.
It is a valuable material for paper, of
the best quality.
One, of the most important features
of this industry is that the 6isal leaves
may be kept for a considerable period
of time without treatment, after being
cut. This gives the industry an advan-
tage over cane.
There is, of course, much to be
learned about this industry, and no
doubt, those engaged in it will take care
that all of the experiences of the people
of Bermuda, in this industry. will be
secured, and brought to these
Islands.

THE GRAND JURY SYSTEM.

Gentlemen of the Grand Jury:-All
that has thus far been said or publish
ed concerning the grand jury system
has been OF praise, because of its al
legged benefits and strenuously asserted
advantages, and 1t would be of little
avail for me at this time, alone and
unsupported by precept or precedent,
to call attention to it's many disadvan-
tages and absurdities. Judge Robin
sons charge.
Judge Robinson will please note the
exception of the Advertiser to his state
ment that published opinion in favor of
the grand jury system has thus far
been unanimous. Before the system
was introduced here, as it had to be
when the United States Constitution
took effect, the Advertiser told the
truth about It, not so completely or SO
convincngly perhaps as Judge Robin
son has done, but enough so to make
it's position clear. And this attitude
has been consistently maintained.
Among other things this paper said
in its first article, that the system
would be used and abused by un-
scrupulous men. The proof of that came
Within a few weeks. The first and sec
ond grand juries of the First Circuit
Court We're deliberately packed by
judicial enemy of Governor Dole to
secure results which, it was hoped,
would injure his reputation at Wash
ington. Another jury was packed with
enemies of the same official the object
being to stgmatize his charges against
the corrupt Home Rule Legislature.
The way in which this outrage was
brought about was by the court, acting
through tool in the person of bailif,
choosing a jury to it's liking. These
abuses went on while the political in-
cumbency of the Territorial Circuit
bench of Hawaii lasted; and they are
possible of renewal at any time when
a rogue assumes the ermine. Thus the
grand jury system stands revealed as
an instrument of revenge and of OPP
pression-an instrument as much out of
place in modern Jurisprudence as the
rack and the thumbscrew themselves.
The very fact that a man may be in
dicted by grand jury without a chance
to defend himself is enough to con-
denim it, An indictment is a certain
of any man or any corporation Yet
the best citizen of any community may
be indicted if any one stands ready to
swear to an accusation against him.
Modern Anglo Saxon fair play instnc-
lively rejects such procedure; respect
for ancient precedent alone sustains it
and does so at vital cost to the vested
freedom of the individual and of the
press.
The Advertiser congratulates Judge
Robinson and joins with him when he
SAYS:
II venture to express the hope that
with the greater development of reason
and logic, all provisions in support of
this system will be eliminated from
the national and state constitutions in
the same manner and to the same eX-
tent as are now being eliminated in
some of the states those other anacf-
ronisms, terms of court and Janus
faced courts of Justice, with distinct
and sharply defined law and equity
sides of the same court"

The attempt which influential jour
nails are making to break down the
reputation of Major General Leonard
Wood is so vicious as to almost
identify those behind it as the old Army
ring at Washington. On that account
General Wood will have the sympathy
of many men who feel neverthe-
less, that his advance has been too
rapid for the good of the service. Dur.
ing the Spanish war the German carl
caturists touched a sore spot when
they had a procession of butchers and
bakers and candlestick makers going to
Washington to become Generals
Americans are slow to recognize the
fact that the military business is a
science and that its eXemplars in the
field should have scientific proficiency
and experience. 1t is as absurd to make
a civilian General off hand as it
would be to make him an Admiral.
General Wood was not quite civilian
when he took field rank: but he was
an army doctor, who was the next
thing to it. AS a doctor his goal was
Surgeon General, not Major-General
and possible chief of the general staff.
Fancy the feelings of the country, in
the teeth of a great military crisis, to
see DR.. Wood, expert physician and
sanitary agent, at the head of the army.

Samuel shortridge is a San Fran

Samuel Shortridge is a San Fran
cisco joke. Abnormally tall, preternat-
urally solemn, esteeming himself as
one of the greatest living orators and
politicians, he cannot appear in public
without bringing a smile to the sur
face of the busiest day. For a time he
wanted to be United States Senator
and made canvasses to that end, with
the result that he was jollied along the
course until the other man got the
prize. Now he has found that the way
to high office is not the oratorcal route
but through administrative successes
and he wants to be mayor of San Fran
cisco. We had nearly said Lord Mayor.
or course he will not get the place,
but the spectacle of Sam sprinting for
it, with the grace and reach of an ami
mated step-ladder, will atone for a poor
vaudeville season,

William Jennings Bryan will read
about the conference of Democrats to

date for the presidency, at about

need not be mistaken for meteors, but

guage of the farmer editor candidate OF

Canton, where corps of American
engineers was attacked by mob, is
perhaps the most dangerous city for
a foreigner to enter which China
affords, Kipling, in a descriptive arti-
Gle, frankly confessed his fear of it.
The city is fun of fanatics, who sur
round foreigner on the narrow streets,
spit upon him and call him vile names.
Without strong escort a white man
may lose his life. 1t is safer to visit
the walled towns of the far interior of
China than this metropolis of the sea-
board provinces whence, by a strange
paradox, comes the mild hammered
host of coolies in Hawaii and Califor-
mia.

The appropriation bill should be at
tentively watched by every citizen and
taxpayer. 1t is there that most of the
undetermined things appear in the sum
of legislative work. Witness the reap
pearance of the water steals. All sorts
of little jobs can be put into an appro-
priation bill and it is the business of
the public and honest press as we'll as
of the Governor and his advisers to look
after them with a microscope If neces-
sary The Advertiser proposes to turn
the searchlight on all such measures,
especially those emanating from the
Solid Thirteen and would be glad to re-
ceive pointers from any one who notes
suspicious moves. The extra session
furnishes the last chance for most OF
the legislative birds of prey.

Literary exercises are included in the
Hilo program for July 4th, and yet 1t is
safe to say that not more than one per-

just yet, but it is rumored Little will
not hold court at Honokaa this year.

Carter Harrison ought to stand a very
fair chance of getting the next Demo-
cratic nomination. He Is a young man
and it is beginning to be understood
that the physical qualities of youth are
needed to bear the burdens of the Pres
idency. Because of that fact the aver
age age of American presidents has
been steadily coming down since Wash
ington's time from about SO to 80.
Roosevelt is 43. Carter Harrison is not
far from that age and is beginning his
fourth term as Mayor OF Chicago. He
is man of good principles, executive
talent and popularity; and unlike Bry-
an and Cleveland his name is not stale
from much use. The Harrison boom
is bound to make a great deal of noise.
