which Judge Edings sold the proper
ty through a receiver, to a syndicate
of Honolulu men for whom c.. S. Hut
chins is the trustee. The VIM. w. Bierce
CO., which a few weeks ago filed a
claim to the railroad material upon
the plantation, as to belonging them,
yesterday obtained a writ of error
from the Supreme Court by which it
is sought to set aside the order made
by Judge Edings for the appointment
Of a receiver. and for the sale of the

ISLAND BEAUTY Spots.

The work OF the Hawaii Promotion
Committee so far as it has progressed
has developed a rather peculiar state
of facts in at least one respect. In
endeavoring to get together the facts
for a booklet, to be devoted TO the
beauty spots Of Hawaii, it early be-
came evident that there was much 10
be desired in the way Of information
as TO the real places Of picturesque
ness.
on the main travelled roads much
has been written about Hawaii; much
that indicates the great beauty of the
drives and scenes has been written
about and pictured but taken at large
IL is fair to say that even more beau
tiful spots are known to but very few
OF the local picture hunters. The plan
of the Committee is for the prepara-
ton of material unlike anything
hitherto printed. The well known
scenes. the commonly shown spots
such as the volcano. Haleakala and
the Pail will not be neglected in any
sense. but IT is the expectation that
in addition to these there viii be
pointed out scores of beauties as yet
unsung.
To secure the data for this volume
has been found most difficult. The
members of the Committee are men
who have seen much OF the Islands.
and many suggestion have been made.
but with all they are aware that only
the smallest portion of the truly
beautiful has been made available by
reason of detailed information. For
this reason the Committee is especial

travelling about the islands has dis

NO PLACE TO STAY.

The case of Jones shows how diff
fcult il is for a homeless and hunted
man to stay in the back-country of
Oahu. Various other criminals, includ-
ing the negro Woods, have demon
strated the same fact. To the fugitive
from justice the mountain region looks
inviting: undeniably in its lantana
jungle and it's fern-banked valleys,
man may hide away from the sharpest
eye-but concealment is not all he
needs. There must be shelter from the
frequent rains and food to keep body
and soul together. But habitations are
so few in our mountains that one can
not, like a mainland tramp, pass un-
observed at night from barn to barn
and suitable food is so scarce that the
theft of any soon gives clue to pur-
suing officers. When Woods escaped
he found safe lair in the underbrush,
but he had to visit the outskirts of the
city for food and dry clothes. Jones
only stood it from Sunday to Wednes-
day; and he came into town looking
like a wreck Paraioxiear as II may
seem, the place for a man to hide in Is
a thickly settled country. Sooner or
later the wilderness reveals its secrets;
the crowd conceals its individual men,

The gang which gathered in Stew
arts office to put up a grating polit-
icaI deal are in a furry of denials
as was expected. Probably the SOLID
Thirteen will also deny that they
organized there just before the Legis-
lature met. Very likely the Home
Rule leaders will deny their wont to
assemble there for political purposes.
Nothing is easier than a denial. But
IL depends a great deal from whom the
denial comes.

C. w. ASHFORD.

Mr.. Ashford is always readable but
not always well-informed. Home Rule
for Territories is not affected by the
choice of purely Federal incumbents
Such appointees of the President do
not govern the Territory in any sense;
law or do United States business in
this part of the Federal domain. These
officials are not supposed to represent
Hawaii but all the States and Ter
ritories put together, and naturally
enough the whole Union has a right to
contribute to the personnel of the force.
Under she last Democratic administra-
ton the Federal office-holders of Ari-
IONA and New Mexico were partly resi-
dent and partly nonresident in their
origin; though the Democratic party
pronounced. as the Republican party
had done, for home rule in home affairs.
That is the principle to which the Ad-
vertiser referred in the article to which
Mr.. Ashford takes exception.
Hawaii, as Territory of the Union,
has done very fairly in the matter of
Federal patronage. The Postoffice and
Custom House are both in kamaaina
control: the other offices have gone to
nonresident American citizens. But
the executive management of the Ter
rifory remains unchanged. 1t is still
in the hands of the people whose per-
manent homes are here and we hope 1t
will continue to be.

REPUBLICAN HOME RULE.

Editor Advertiser: 1 find your edito-

Long ago the people at Washington
adopted the principle Of home rule for
Territories. and both parties declared
for it in their national platforms.
What has happened here to warrant a
change from that principle?"
If Hawaii now presents an illustra-
ton of the Republican idea Of ''home
rule then Heaven send the Repub-
Iican leaders a better understanding of
the phrase and its meaning. Look at

Have you forgotten the press descrip-
tons of the manner in which a certain
far Western Senator. some months ago
received the telegraph news of the
demise of a certain Federal officer in
Hawaii, of Presidential appointment?
The press described the statesman in
question. (who was rusticating in one
of the Cow counties of one of the 4
grazing States, during recess of Con-
gress) as rushing pellmell across the
welt to catch the first train for Wash
ington. that he might prevent any of
his patronage from going outside Of
the grazing State referred to. He
captured the presidential ear before the

men to pension upon the public purse,

UNCLE SAM AS A M,SER

The fact that a committee of distin-
guished senators is at work between
sessions framing bill for financial re-
form indicates that something will be
done in the next congress to correct GER
tain grievous faults in our present sys-
tenn of governmental finance. The
counting house system any trust COM
pany, bank or corporation transacting
business into the millions is a scientific
affair, always requiring the attention of
experts in its reimbursement, but the
United States government, doing bust
ness into the hundreds Of millions every
month, must needs look 10 congress for
its organization, hence political agita-
ton is always necessary to keep it's
system in repair.
Not long ago we had The funds of it's
banking and redemption departments
thrown into the common pot with the
funds of the expenditure departments,
and whenever excessive appropriations
exhausted the gold in the pot or DEM
ocratic tariff failed to bring in sufficient
revenue to keep the pot filled the hold
ers of the governments demand obliga-
lions began to rush for their coin and
we had what was called a raid on the
treasury. 1t was nothing more than
run on the government bank, for the
government was in the banking bust
ness when it put out promises TO pay
On demand such its greenbacks and
other forms of paper money. 1t was
trying to do a banking business with no
provision for maintaining a reserve. A
recent congress changed this and now
the government will maintain gold
reserve in separate fund to guarantee
payment of demand notes regardless of
current expenses or not.
However this reform was not all that
is needed. If the government was all
ways hard up and never had any sur
plus there would be little trouble, but
under republican prosperity Uncle Sam
grows flush with money, Coin piles UP
in his pockets faster than he needs to
pay 1t out and a new problem arises.
Under present laws all the money that
once gets into his pockets. /. e., into the
United States treasury, can not get
out again unless congress orders it paid
for some express purpose, so whenever
the government has surplus Uncle
Sam has virtually tied up so much coin
v1ion. When people generally who have
money do this it causes panic and

EXIT GOLD BOND INSURANCE.

AS fitting sequel to recent criti.
cisms by the Minnesota insurance de-
partment one of the leading gold bond
insurance companies of Des Moines
has merged itself with a Chicago in
surance company and thereby loses its
former identity and name. The presi-
dent of the Iowa company goes to the
Chicago company at a salary of $4,000
per year.
1t will be remembered that the prin-
cipal criticisms of the Minnesota in
surance department based upon the in
designations of a special expert from
New York were that the ten-year gold
representations as to the profits that
would accrue and that because of an
extrvagant expense of nearly 20 per
rent of the premium income the claims
of the agents as to said profits could
never be realized. The publicity given
toe the experts report caused all gold
bond companies no end of trouble and
1t is significant that in writing of the
plans of the merger the Underwriters
Review of Des Moines says:
at is an important feature of
the future management of the Ma
tional, as determined upon in the
prosecution of its business, to adj
80, "a ~. for.
of insurance as transacted gem
orally by the best companies, and
the ten-year investment endow-
ment form. which until the present
year formed so large portion of
the business of the National Life
and Trust. will not be written at
all'anywhere.
In giving the reasons for this change
in the policy of management the IN
derwriters' Review explains:
While the ten-year endowment
was its leading feature, consider
able regular life insurance was
written last year and SO far this
year has been pushed to the ex-
clusion, in great measure, of the
investment endowment as being
much more desirable and less SUBJ
ject to misleading estimates and
statements on the part of agents.
The change of plan will undoubtedly |
meet the approval of the investing pub
lie and experience less criticism from
official examiners. 1t is now to be hop |
ed that the two remaining gold bond |
companies of Des Moines will decide to
adhere to the various approved forms
of insurance as transacted generally by
the best companies" and life insurance
business generally will not be subjected
to the suspicious aroused in the public |
mind by such gold brick contracts sold
in the guise of life insurance. The Des
Moines National was managed by ex-
ceptionaily able insurance men who, in
the realm of approved" insurance
should soon place their company's
business in the fore front OF successful
life insurance.
