PHASES OF FARMING.

An evening paper prints a letter
which begins as follows:
Editor Evening BuIletin:-The writ
er OF a recent editorial in the Adver-
tIser which opines that the fine old
Spanish Hidalgo was not a believer
in the profits of agriculture in Cali
fornia," etc, is telling more than ne
knows, and in the telling has strayed
far afield from his Bancroft. q
The Bulletins correspondent Toes not
recall the difference between the Span
ish Hidalgo and the Mission priest.
The Hidalgo was a stockraiser; the
Carthusian monks, did something with
small fruits, wine and even grain, using
TIE Indian neophites as slaves to till
the soil. But the cultivated GASES were
small and unimportant; the greater
part Of California was a range for wild
cattle, which cattle. periodically, were
rounded up and stripped, their hides
being sold TO Boston firms.
When his state OF things was chang
ed, as it had to be to enable California
to support a large mining population
n the cities which mining built, the
thing was lone by the small farmer.
He fought the stockmen, he secured the
enactment of a fence law, he bought
and cultivated the arabic spots close to
ines Of travel and he finally made the
State what it is. He had every dis
couragement save one He had aridity,
drouth. coyotes. snakes. rabbits, goph-
ers, cutworDs, sand storms, dishonest
commission men and high freight rates
TO contend with but one pest he escap-
ed-the presence of people Of his own
vocation who. having made none by
farming wrote letters to the press to
discourage other farmers from coming
into the State lest they should make
money too and, perhaps, in the long
run, lower prices.

AN ACTIVE CHAMBER or COM

criticisms OF the Chamber of Commerce,
etc. II II is a fair question: What con-
stitutes IAN active Chamber Of Com
mercer" Ours has kept Mr.. Haywood
at Washington and done something for
tourists, etc. and seen TO IL that the
Senatorial Commission was given data
Isn't that good work?
1. An active Chamber Of Commerce
would give every desirable citizen OF
Honolulu and Hawaii a chance to be-
come a member at a specified fee per
month
2. The money would be used to es-
tablish an exhibit and literary bureau,
under charge Of a paid superintendent;
and as much money as could be col
lected besides and got from the Legisla-
ture. would be used for special public
purposes.
3. The Chamber would ave active
committees, who business it would be
to build up Honolulu; a committee on
legislation to prepare n press bills
of public interest; a committee on
tertainment TO see mat no C1SIlnSuiSnSU
man or capitalist came here without
having a chance 10 see the best Hawaii
has TO offer; a committee on commerce
to look after ocean carrying rates and
offer inducements to new steamship
lines, and to act when there is a chance
to get transports to stop here or to keep
them from avoiding the place; a COM
mittee or settlers to look after lands
and occupants for them, and to take
an interest in an annual agricultural
fair; and finally a committee on tour
lists to see that Hawaii gets its share of
pleasure and health-seekers.
The Honolulu Chamber of Commerce
has an active committee on legislation
and a more or less active committee on
commerce. though it cannot be said that
the latter sees all of it's opportunities.
But none of the other committees nam
exist or if they do they are backward
about coming forward.

According TO advices received by mail
at the War Department. the Philippine
government has been forced to take ex-
ira precautions to prevent flibusterins
in the islands. and particularly in Luzon.
Judging from recent captures of rifles
and ammunition by the constabulary
from the ladrones. II is evident that
some one is doing a profitable business
in the way of selling them munitions
of war
In consequence. the cutters of the
coast guard fleet have been armed and
ordered to patrol most carefully all Of
the seaboard. Abra province, in the
northeastern part OF Luzon, is regarded
as the most dangerous place in this re-
spect. and IL is known that in the past
many cargoes of contraband OF war have
been unloaded there. The coast is
broken by repeated inlets. affordlng

BOTH AFTER THE POSITION

The desire OF prominent men to dodge

strenuous just now as at any time in
the history of the country.
The last Of the best-known members
OF the Republican party mentioned for
the place recently today sent private
dispatches to friends in Washington con-
frming the report that he would not ac-
cept the nomination If 1t were offered
him. This is Myron T. Herrick. OF Ohio
who is the party's candidate for cover
nor of the Buckeye State, and who has
been frequently reported 10 be President
Roosevelt's choice for his running
mate"
II was reported from Ohio yesterday
that he would not accept, and today he
sent dispatch to a friend here In which
he said he believed his sphere OF useful
ness in Ohio
The stand taken by Mr. Rer-ick haa
not caused any surprise in Washington,
but fl has revived the speculation as 20
who is going to be the choice of tho

nounced positively that he would not
accept the nomination. he viii have
much to do with naming the candidate.
The Ohioan made Carret A. Hobart. of
New Jersey. Vice President. and had
not Senator Platt made fight at Pbiia-

KNEW OF VOUCHER
SENATOR HOPKINS A
WHITE HOUSE CALLER
Declines. 10 State Nature of Chat
With the President.

Senator Hopkins of Illinois called on
the President this morning He de-
clined to say whether his visit was in
connection with the trouble in the GUS
toms house at Chicago.
Two or three months ago Secretary
Shaw personally investigated the condi-
tion Of the Chicago port. giving particu-
lar attention to the charge that Col
lector Nixon was not giving enough
time to the Office TO insure good service.
AT that time ii was said Collector
Nixon was slated for dismissal. He
was appointed through the influence OF
former Senator Mason, and the story
that Senator Hopkins would dictate the
appointment of a successor was gen.
orally credited.
Secretary Shaw found, however. that
the Office was not in as bad condition
as had been reported. and. the matter
Of making changes was held UP pending
the return of the President from the
West. In the meantime Senator Hop.
kins has been working to further the
chances OF constituent, who had been
persistently MENTIONED for the place.
While the Administration feels that
the party debt to Senator Hopkins Is
greater than it is TO former Senator Ma
son. 1t IS said that the President has
expressed himself as opposed to any
general customs shakeup at this time.
The internal disturbances at the port
OF New York were not regarded rs bene-
fetal to the party II Is practically
certain that Collector Nixon is safe in
his position. at least until after the
next campaign.
Secretary Shaw called on the Presi-
dent at the same time Senator Hopkins
was there. and il is believed that the
matter was thoroughly gone over and
the decision reached that 1t is best TO

vancement.

A closer examination into the records
Of the Civil Service Commission and of
the methods OF the Postofice Depart
ment under the dispensation OF Perry
Heath brings TO light the fact that the
former First Assistant Postmaster Cen
eral managed to install his brother,
John B. Heath, in the Indianapolis post
office by what has come to be known as
the CREASED route"
John Heath first made his appearance
as a servant Of the Government on
June 1. 1893. when he was appointed a
clerk in the unclassihed office at Ell
wood. Ind. On July 15. OF the same year.
the office was placed in the classified
list. and just n month and a half later
Heath applied for transfer to the post
Office at Marion. Ind. His request was
granted. and he remained at Marion un-
til June 26. 1902. when he was trans
ferred TO the St Louis postoffce With
a salary of 81 200. There he abidcd a
little moe than two months. and on
September 1. 1902, was transferred to

Site Indicated by Congress
May Not Be Bought.
CONFLICTING OPINIONS
Attorney General Finds Act Mandatory
While Solicitor of Treasury Be-
lieves 1t Is Discretionary.

The question OF buying square 143 as
site for the Hall of Records was con-
sideTed at length at the Cabinet meet
inG this morning. At the conclusion Of
tint meeting Secretary Shaw announced
10 representative OF The Times that
the matter was not settled, and probably
would be held in allegiance for some
time
Secretary Shaw believes that il options
on another and more appropriate site for
the Hall Of Records building were pre-
sented At the next session Congress
would net turn a deaf ear and that the
Government would profit by the delay
not only in a financial way, but by pro-
curing a more suitable site for the
building.
Several weeks ago Secretary Shaw OBJ
tanned an informal opinion from the
Solicitor OF the Treasury to the effect
that the act was not mandatory upon
him TO buy the site selected.
There had been some doubt on this
point The Hall of Records bill origi-
mated IN the House. and. as passed by
that body. no discretion was lodged with
the Secretary OF the Treasury. The
Senate amended the bill by inserting a
clause TO the effect that the Secretary
should purchase. II in his opinion he
deemed il advisable. square 143 at a
cost not to exceed 100000.
Attorney General Knox. without con-
sulting the statutes. gave as his opinion
that the act of Congress made it neces-
sary fer the Secretary 70 purchase or
condemn the property If it could be had
within the limit OF cost fixed by Con-
gress
In view Of the contrary opinions, Act
Ing Secretary Taylor. in the absence OF
Secretary Shaw, obtained formal opin-
lon from Colonel Reeve, acting Solicitor
Of the Treasury. This opinion support
ed Secretary Shaw in his contention that
he need not buy the property unless he
deemed the purchase juSicious one for
the Government to make.
