cry is expected to bring into line new
contingent OF support to the COVER
nor-small shippers and the like, many
of whom don't care a Tsp about pri-

probably understands that the con-

ing Political Fight of 1904.
Already the lines are being drawn
and to some extent organization on
both sides being perfected. The gov
ernor is losing no chance to put his
friends in Office, and as compact a
state administration aswas everknown
in Wisconsin will be active to uphold
the plucky fighter his appointees so
much admire
Congressmen to Come Out.
On the other hand, the opposition
will be freshened by the active par1ci-
patton of many who hitherto have
kept hands off. The stalwarts who
have been marching up to the mouth
of the cannon" as they express 1t,
will insist that the Wisconsin men at
Washington come out openly here
after and aid to restore conservative,
popular government in Wisconsin.
There will be no more Eleventh
Story plumbers. The fight will be open
and avowed, and Wisconsin will see
the merriest eighteen months of war
that any state in the Union ever saw.
If LaFollette is able to stir the
people q third time by his speeches
and magnetic personality-if he Is
able to convince them that it IS not
Office but reform" he wants, and he
can down his enemies, of course he
would be a national figure, represen-
tative of the same things In national

would go to the senate in 1905 to sue

tlvity and crusading are the breath Of

Primary Elections Dead.

1t seems to be generally agreed that
primary elections are dead this year,
and the two factions are disputing as
to who is - blame All efforts to
reach 4 compromise In conference
failed. The stalwart senators offered

cornties at once and Let the people

been urging the new system think
the governor should have taken this as
something to start with; but he and
his friends decided II they could not
get more than this they would take

Madison, April 2S.-The last month

Adams Successor, Van Hfse.
The new president of the state
university is Charles Il. Van Hise, the
professor In geology. 1t is well re-
ceived. He is the first graduate Of
the state university to be its presi-
dent. He came here as freshman in
the seventies from Rock county about
as raw a specimen of country lad as
ever struck Madison, and by his own
efforts has won his present high posi-
ton at $1,000 a year. Professor Van
Hise Is world-famous geologist.
Some lay much stress on having as
president one of distinguished rcholar-
ship and thus initiate aginst some
good names mentioned in connection
with the presidency. Professor Van
Hise is scientist, and so the classical
departments of the university are
Greek" to him, but Chamberlain was
also a scientist. Some have suggest
ed that Professor Van Hise may not
be happy in his present post indefinite
ly and will be eager to set back to
scientific Investigations; but one can
not press into & lifetime indefinite
great achievements like his Meta
morphism," which gave him high
standing. The man is not only pOpu-
lar with the student body, but is re-
spected as man by all. He is a
Unitarian by church connection. He is
the governors choice and some of the
regents named by him aided to effect
the election, but not much is made of
this, even by opponents of the admin
istration. Van Hise is not 4 man to
be influenced by personal considera-
tons of this sort, even If one attempt
ed it on him. Withal, we are all hap
py over the outcome. Acting Presi-
dent Birge received the votes OF the
two most active regents-ex Senator
Villas and b. J. Stevens, and one other.

Telephone Discrimination

The assembly has favored the bill
aimed at the Wisconsin telephone
company, preventing 1t from charging
low rates in city where there is COM
petition; but it has yet 70 run the
gauntlet of the senate ant will likely
fare hard in the hands of the consti-
tutional lawyers of that body. The
university appropriation bills have
Jared pretty well this year. a new
$4,000 agricultural hall surmounts
the highest hill of all and a chemical
laboratory building is already designed.
The art critics are not altogether hap
by over the outlines of these, alleging
that the former suggests more city
school building or a factory than a
gorgeous creation for a conspicuous
hilltop; but the building already erect
ed IS certainly roomy and well-planned
for hard work by the hundreds of
farmer boys who use it. The military
men expect TO get among other things

Grain Inspection BIZ Killed.

Senator Hudnall of Superior made
a powerful speech for his bin to set
up grain inspection commission at
Superior. Mr. Hudnall told the story
of his wonderful city in such way
that even those who have always heard
of its Development realized afresh
what It has done and will do. Think of
it, as latelyas 1SS5-with only2,000 peo-
pie. When he freely predicted a Sec
ond Chica 70 no one questioned it. The
inspecting OF grain is done in Duluth
ON the Minnesota side and that city
came in for serious denunciation. 1t
seems that credit for what Superior
does all goes to Duluth. Everybody
down east knows Duluth, but few

pictures of Superior's beautiful build

as on this bill. It voted, 16 to Is, to

LIVES Of OFFICIALS

Waikiki. Feb. Nv. O. Aiken, dep
uty tax assessor for Makawao, beliey.
ing that a certain Portuguese rancher
at Kula, Freitas by name. was making
false returns, sent one day this week
Messrs. d. Fleming, w. e. Beckwith
and George Copp to count up the stock
on the ranch. The men had succeeded
in counting over 300 head OF cattle
with the brand of the Portuguese, this
being 200 more than the number re-
.drned by the taynayer in his assess.
ment returns.
When the Portuguese saw what was
taxing place, he realized that 1t meant
an additional $40 or more in his taxes.
He became raging mad, got his gun;
and threatened to reduce the would-ba
trespassers to corpses before night. If
they did not Immediately leave his
premises.
The men, having accomplished their
purpose, remained no longer but suit
will be instituted against the Portu-
suese for his threatening attitude
against public officials engaged in the
lawful prosecution Of their duties.

through for the season-and its man
agement is undertaking one of the
most daring engineering schemes on

MAXWELL plantation has its hands
full with the harvesting and also the
finishing of the Makaweli ditch, which
requires five miles of tunnelling
through hard rock.
McBryde sugar mill Is doing rapid
and good work, and the light rains Of

FIcERS TO ATTEND

The investigations Of the Grand Jury
are interfering materially with the
work OF the Police Court and making
sessions there short. On Saturday the
Deputy Sheriff was sent for in tho
middle of the calendar and the cases
on trial had to be postponed until this
morning. This morning the clerk was
summoned and the court adjourned I'M

Before the recess was taken several
DRINKS were fined the regular amount
for their tipping. Several of them put
up defenses but they were all found
guilty.
All Chun, a respondent Chinese boy
who was found sitting on the sidewalk
by police officer last evening, was
before the court, charged with vag-
rancy. He had stated to the arresting
officer that he had been out of work for
over a month and was thinking of go
ing TO the wharf to drown himself. The

him that he had come to the right place

jobs in its gift at all times and he
would give him three months on the
reef at hard labor. In that time he
might be able, through a strict atten.

II. Merritt, a stranger who was ar

TO mariana PEOPLE

Mrs. Annie Montague-Turner and J.
Lovette Rockwell desire to thank ev.
cry member of the "Maritana" COM
pany, the chorus, the orchestra, and
all others who so kindly assisted in the
production of the opera Of "Maritana,"
which proved so successful In every
way. Mrs. Turner, when seen this
morning by Bulletin reporter, sal.
she had never met with such hearty
cooperation and faithfulness in all OF
her experience, and for this she is es.
pecially grateful; without II she would
have been powerless indeed. While
she means to thank each member OF
the cast the chorus and orchestra per.
sonally, still she feels that her thanks
should be made public in order that all
may know how appreciative she is OF
the kindly spirit that has been shown.
A suggestion has been made that the
opera OF Mariana" be repeated for
some charitable purpose, but 1t will be
| impossible to do this, much as Mrs.
Turner would like to. The costumes
have been engaged for certain length
of time and that limit has already been
encroached upon. The rent charged
for these costumes is very high and on
that account 1t will be necessary to re-
turn them to San Francisco by the very
next steamer. Unfortunately, there 10
not an open night at the opera house
between now and the time the cos
tunes leave, which could be used for
the production once more OF the opera
OF mariana" Mrs. Turner said this
morning that she intended soon TO get
up something for charitable purposes.
