The lady who rescued Mark Twain's
tribute to Hawaii from a transient
speech and sent it here for publication,
complains of the changes in the text
which appear in some of the literature
issued by the Promotion Committee.
The point she makes is well taken and

OUR METHODS IN MORO LAND.

Let it be trusted that General Weyler-
of immortal memory does not read the
Manila Cablenews, else he might run.
across this account of how General
Leonard Wood is prosecuting his CAM
paign against the Moros:
The Moros are implacable.
They demand revenge for an insult to
their creed which resulted from an or
der of Lieutenant Colonel Rodgers of
the Fifteenth Cavalry, which regiment
was recently relieved from garrison
duty at Jolo.
y ''juramentado" was shot to death
on the streets of Jolo after he had par
TALLY disembowelled a member of 3
Troop of the Fifteenth Cavalry
One of the bullets ranged upward
through the fanatics body and killed
the chief bugler of the Fifteenth.
Colonel Rodgers ordered the dead
fanatic buried with pig.
No greater insult can be shown the
pork-shunning Mohammedans.
A deep grave was dug just outside
the walls of the City at Jolo.
Stark naked the ''juramentado" was
thrown into it.
Above the grave was placed a der
rick from which was hung large dead
pig.
The animals throat was cut and the
blood allowed to fall upon the Moro's .
body.
The burial rite began at high noon.
The event had been advertised and
more than 1000 fully armed Moros witt
messed it.
Near the grave was drawn up dis
mounted squadron of the Fifteenth
Cavalry.
Close behind the Cavalry the GRIM
faced soldiers of the First Battalion of,
the Seventeenth Infantry stood ready
for instant action.
A short distance across the plain
from the troops crowded the sullen
Moros.
Many of their kris blades were bare
and many a long-unused Remington
loaded.
The Infantry and Cavalry carried 200
rounds to man and all magazines and
chambers We're loaded.
Colonel Rodgers superintendent the
giving of the lesson.
No details tending TO impress 1t up
on the Moro mind were omitted even
II they did smack OF barbarsm.
There was not a moment during the
event that the soldiers were not ex-
pectant OF instant attack from the
savage horde about them.
The suspense was thrilling.
II was like the campaigning days.
The shades of evening We're beginning
to fall when the bugle sounded and the
troops marched back to their quarters.

POLITICS AND PATRONAGE.

II is the duty of the Supervisors
! elected on the Republican ticket to
stand pat for their party and divide
none of the advantages gained by Re
publicans at the polls with the Home
| Rulers. They should agree among
| themselves upon a chairman and stay
! bound by their caucus action: and
/ whatever patronage there may be.
should be used to obtain efficient and
honest men from the ranks of the Re-
publican party and no other, and
thereby strengthen the organization
and fulfill the expectations of the ma
jority OF the voters.
These are the simplest rules of politi-
cal fidelity. They cannot be violated
save in extraordinary circumstances
such as are presented when Kumalae
came up for Speaker. No such circum-
stances now show themselves and no
Republican Supervisor can hope to
make patronage deal with the Home
Rulers and retain the confidence of
the party which expects its elected
candidates to help rather than hinder
the fulfillment of its pledges to give
the people sound and economical
administration of public affairs.
Nor Is the case changed when the
Home Rulers ask favors for an al
legged Republican. Any man they want
in office is one who has either done
something to help their party or has
promised so to do; and If the office is
one controlling large patronage, as is
that OF Road Supervisor of the Fourth
District. Home Rule preference for the
incumbent must be classed with the
sort of gratitude which expresses itself
in lively sense of favors to come. |
Now we submit that such favors be-
long under Republican auspices, to the |
Republican rank and file only. There
are plenty of good men to be found In |
the party for road work and If IT is
given to them to do they will labor
hard In the next campaign and cement
the organization; and Home Rulers,
getting nothing, will see a very practi-
cal reason indeed to enlist in the Re-
publican ranks. On the other hand
n Home Rulers are supported by the
Republicans and given reason to feel
that they have compelled such support.
there can nothing be done with them.
Ihey Will stay Home Rulers and let !,
veil enough alone.

Mr.. Cleveland chooses to be a sage
instead of Presidential candidate
and as such will secure an old age OF
dlgnihed leisure and national respect.
1t is remarkable how public opinion
the best public opinion-in the United
States has reversed itself in regard
to Cleveland, perhaps by comparison
with other political leaders of later
day. This is not tribute to genius or
to brilllancy, for the former President
has neither, but to man of good
executive mind who can be relied upon
to take counsel of his conscience.
Such men are rare I'm American or any
other politics. when found they are
cherished and their names live after
them in afrectionate speech as we'll as
in the formal tones of history.

THE VISITING FLEET.

Three first-class battleships and -four
cruisers, constituting the strongest
naval force ever seen In these waters
and a stronger one than was ever as
sembled at a western mainland port OF
the United States-is demonstration
which must mean something In inter-
national politics. Just what, remains
to be discovered. The probability Is
that in sending the fleet here the Gov
eminent wished to be prepared for any
contingencies which might arise in
connection with the trouble on the
isthmus, whether local to Central and
South America or foreign as respects
Europe. 1t is such a naval move as
Englan. has often made in the Medi-
terranean, especially when something
was on with Turkey.
The great display Of warships is an
impressive 'object lesson to ourselves
in the growth and improvement OF the
American navy. 1t is only fourteen
years ago that Honolulu rejoiced in the
presence of a squadron which 1t hailed
as formida ble-the wooden cruisers

out-of- date the wooden warship now

VIII the next fourteen years -.bow a
like development III structural eff
cheney? Probably the limit in size
of battleships has been reached owing
to the average depth of harbors; but
there remain to be comprised achieve
ments in speed, in gun-range and ac-
curacy, and in the quality of armor-
plate. Then again are the submarine
and aerial possibilities which, in a few
years time may render the great
battleships as obsolete as the seventy
four gun frigates became when the
Cheese box on q raft steamed into
the naval arena. Perhaps-who
knows?-the arrival here of a typical
United States naval fleet in 1917 will
be signalized by the sudden appear
ance off the bar of some trifling erup-
tions from the deep in the form of
submarine coming towers and that the
entire personnel Of the fleet will not
number 100 men.
But the future can take care of
itself; at present we are celebrating
the arrival of the finest battleships of
the American navy in rle Pacific and
Of cruisers worthy OF such high COM
pany. 1t is needless to say that they
are welcome to n community which is
American in It's sympathies and aspi-
rations as well as in its flag; and that,
while the ships are here the hospitality
Of Honolulu will justify its ancient
fame.

It isn't the fault of the Land Court

A heavy land dealer said the other day
that he should never buy real estate
here, where titles are so much affected
by ancient rights of tenure, without a
Torrens law certificate. and he was
quite right. Such n certificate abso-
lutely settles the title to land and Is
worth all it costs. Nothing but the
habit of taking things for granted in
Honolulu keeps real estate owners from

given them.

The rule of evening dress at the OPP
era House has tendency to make the
audiences small and select. Dramatic
companies prefer to have their audi
ences large and miscellaneous. so an
effort Is being made to induce the pa
irons of the Opera House to appear in
more democratic attire. This is de-
sired, particularly, while the families
of naval ofiicers-who don't carry
many wardrobe trunks-are in port.
Whether the change can be brought
about we do not venture to predict,
there being so many people who have
no chance to show their costliest garb
to the public save in the theater. 1t
can't be done at the football games
and 1t would be bad form to do 1t at
church. Only the theater is left.
