ATTACHMENT
DISSOLVED
Vida Wins Point
in Defense of
Suit.

The attachment in the suit Of w. e.
Peacock & Co., Ltd, VS.. II. c. Vida
was yesterday dissolved by Judge De
Bolt after a hearing on defendants
motion to that end. Smith g. Lewis
appeared for plaintiff, and Robertson
S Wilder for defendant. The suit was
to recover s429.75 for goods sold and
delivered and the attachment was on
kea street, between Queen and Hale
kauwila streets, and any other prop
erty Of defendant found on the Island
of Oahu.
]. G. Rothwell treasurer of plain
tiff, made an afflavit on attachment
to the effect that defendant on De-
cember 16. 1901, mortgaged certain
property in the California saloon to
plaintiff for s1O97.S0 and other sums;
that among other articles in the mort
gage were two paintings Of native
girls by Ewing and lunch COUNTER
also certain barrels of whiskey; that
affiant had made examination of the
premises but had been unable to find
the articles in question; that affiant
believed defendant, in addition to re-
! moving the articles, was proceeding
to sell them; that this belief had been
'substantiated by the fact that since
the institution of this suit a bill of
sale of certain property heretofore
made by H. c. Vida to William Lucas
has been recorded: that since filirg
of said suit the affiant mas discovered
some of the articles missed az afore.
said, at the Hale Mau Mau or Cobweb
saloon on Alakea street. which the
afIiant is informed the defendant II.
C. Vida has sold to one William Lucas.
On his motion to dissolve the at
tachment, Vida made affidavit utterly
denying both the alleged concealmert
and the alleged disposing of property.
The motion itself alleged Irregularities
in the form of attachment.

his wife, Eleanor INSTRUMENTATION

isee and legatee, besides being nomi-
mated as executor. He asks for tenn
porary letters of administration cspe
cially for the purpose Of cole citing
fire claim award of $1S2360.

Germ that all my just debts, both Sc
cured and unsecured. shall be fully
paid and discharged" She directs
that whatsoever property is remaining
after payment of her debts is to be
bequeathed by her husband ION or be-
fore his death" unto such one or mora

THE WORK OF PROMOTION.

The Hawaii Promotion Committee
has gotten well under way in it's la
bors, and of the many things which 1t
has accomplished so far none gives
such promise of ultimate success as
the fact that q primary step was the
placing of the aims and objects of the
body before all the people. Circular
letters have been sent to every busi-
ness man in the Islands without re-
spect to nationality and his aid So
licited in the carrying out of the plans
which are to be followed in furthering
the exploitation of Hawaii
There are two sides to the request
of the committee for subscriptions to
its funds.
First, the sinews of war are neces-
sary if there is to be a successful cam
paign through the columns of Ameri-
can periodicals and as well by the dis
tributon of hundreds of thousands of
pamphlets and folders.
Second, a united effort must be made
IL real success is to be obtained. No
one would be so short sighted as to
contend that the success of the work
of this committee would be beneficial
to any single class of citizens. Ev-
cry one would enjoy his share of these
benefits, be he merchant or profession
al man, clerk or workman.
1t is understood that the range or
the responses already received by the
committee is exceedingly wide. 1t
is to be hoped that very soon the COM
mittee will be able to report that the
people generally have united to as
sist in the carrying forward of this

THE LOCAL LABOR QUESTION.

There is a vast amount of economic
nonsense in the cry that American
citizens" should be employed as con-
tract laborers here by preference 10
foreigners. OF the kind of American
citizens known on the mainland OF
the United States there are none mere
who want jobs as laborers or would
take them II offered. The cry OF pro-
test comes from lately enfranchised
Polynesians most of whom cannot
sneak the tongue that Americans use
and who belong mainly to the class
described by the late Ross Browne
when he Said that he never saw out
one Hawaiian doing anything and ne
was falling off a house.
The truth about the native as
manual laborer was publicly told at
the last meeting of the Builders and
Traders Exchange--he is not depend
able. He cannot be relied upon to do
n fair days work nor to stay by his
lob until 1t Is finished Now con-
tract means that certain amount or
work must be done in a certain space
of time. If 1t isn't so done the con-
tractor loses his pay or forfeits his
bond He cannot take chances with
his labor. He must have men who
will stand by him until the job is DONE
and when, as the fruit of bitter eX-
perience he turns from the Hawaiian,
the latter has no right to blame him.
1t Is not the contractor who keeps the
native out of steady work-it is HIM
SELF.
We venture to say that the employ
ment Of this class of American ciu-
zens' on public works costs the Ter
ritory one hundred thousand dollars
biennially in labor paid for but not
performed-say, rather, in time wasted.
This writer has seen many gang OF
native road 'laborers' on duty and
has estimated that they would be dear
at forty cents a day. These men DO
not want to work. They had rather
starve than go on the plantations
where no political pull would let them
take their own time. What they are
after is the greatest possible pay Tor
the least possible labor; and that Is
what they get and give in TERRITORIAL
employ. Unhapply the Territory can
not help itself, but the private con-
tractor can help himself and naturally
does so.
There is a way, nevertheless, for the
1898 issue of american citizens to
get work anywhere and that is to learn
to do what they are paid for as well as
foreigners. They might learn through
practice on the roads and streets.
The Hawaiian gazette., 1903-08-21

Is this the attitude of the Land Com
missioner as described in his native
organ, the Independent?
The Advertiser has tiared up at the
Land Commissioner on account OF the
conservative manner of that official IN
dealing with public lands, and alleged
settlers and small farmers from
abroad. The cause of the rumpus
seems to be that the Commissioners en-
deavors to tell the truth about land
and farming possibilities, and Will not
lend himself to the present scheme OF
fleeing a lot of honest clod-hoppers
from the mainland out of their desper-
ately hard-earned savings.
1t would be interesting to know If
the Land COMMISSIONS. really feels
that way.

There is something wrong with the
cablegram which reports the "battle-
ship Missouri" as having been launch
ed yesterday at Baltimore. The bat
tleship Missouri was launched at New
port News. Va, on December 2s, Miss
Marion Cockrell, daughter OF Senator
f. NJ. Cockrell. was Sponsor for the
ship and Lieut.. Gov. Lee of Missouri
acted for Governor Dockery. The

probably a Pacific liner of that name,
in which case the Bulletins purported

THE FIulBUsTER BISHOP.

The threat of Bishop Willis against
Tongan sovereignty seems to nave
been something more than bluH. AT
his instance and those OF other BRUSH
residents who do not admire Poly
nesian rule, British High Commas
sioner, Sir Thomas Moore Jackson, has
gone to Tonga from Fiji to adjust mat
ters. on the principle that those whom
the gods would destroy they first make
mad, the Tongan government has re-
fused him a landing on the ground that
the measles prevail in Fiji where he
came from. All this, of course, plays
into the hands Of Bishop Willis and
his fellow-conspirator tors against Tongan
sovereignty and the next we hear
British cruiser may come to back the
Commissioner up and incidentally put
an end to the Tongan independence
which has aroused Bishop Williss
pious wrath.

The Star had a remarkable Davis
story last night, which accuses the dis

a fee from Mrs. S. C. Allen for in
ducing her adopted and disinherited

by letter to contest the will, II the
story is true-and we have no reason

One of the good things for Hawaii
which we hope to see realized is the
substitution of a large steamship for
the Alameda on the ferry line between
here and San Francisco. For that pur-
pose a steamer like the China would be
Incompatible. People who go beyond
the seas for pleasure are particular
about the vessels to which they entrust
their comfort, and the time has long
passed when third-raters of the Alamo
da and Zealandia class could attract
tourists. Many people are actually de-
TERED, In these days of l2,000-ton liners,
from going to sea in vessels of any
thing less than 5000 tons; and this
prejudice is bound to increase with the
size of ocean liners as a class. One
would think that the Oceanic line
might largely increase its business by
putting a really good steamship in the
island trade.

The international yacht races were
expected, at last accounts, to begin to-
day. There is a very general feeling
that Sir Thomas Upton ought to win
the cup and there will be little regret
if he does. He is a sportsman worthy
of any ones admiration. AS for the
trophy fifty years is long enough to
hold it and If it now goes 10 the other
side the attempt to get 1t back Will
add zest to races which. from their
sameness, have become tiresome.

PANAMA CANAL BLOCKED.

The rejection of the Panama canal
treaty by the Congress of Colombia
marks one more triumph for the Amer
lean railroad combine. There is almost
n moral certainty that the railroads.
which have made canal bills their spe-
cial victims in the United States Con
gress for over twenty years, have cor
rupted enough Colombian legislators to
spoil the chances of Panama for good
and all. Naturally President Roosevelt,
acting under the discretionary powers
conferred upon him by Congress, VIII
turn once more to Nicaragua. There,
as in Panama, he will meet his old
enemies of the railroad trust, but the
desire of the people and planters OF
Nicaragua to get a canal. is so strong,
that the legislative body may not dare
to play the railroad game.
So far as Hawaii is concerned 1t
would prefer a Nicaraguan to Pana-
ma canal. The distance from here Is
less; connections with disease are NOT
SO good; the great area of Gains Off
the United States of Colombia are
avoided by vessels going through. The
work of digging the Nicaragua water
way is nothing extraordinary. AS TO

If the President settles matters with
Nicaragua the country will sustain
him. There is no particular choice OF
routes on the mainland. All the peo-
ple there want is a canal.
