THE RICHMOND STRIKE.

For the first time since the military
were called, some Of the cars in Rich
mond ran without military guard on
Friday. The Clay street line was select
ed for the experiment, and no disorder
followed. There vas an attempt on the
Seven Pines Road to injure the motor
man running the car. A stout wire was
tied from pole to pole across the track
at a height which would strike the
motorman's body Fortunately the car
run out was vestibuled, and the vesti-
bule broke the wire. Spikes were found
driven In the track at several points.
The soldiers on the car removed them.

The Rapid Transit Company will be-

through to Kapiolani Park, Waikiki,
on Sunday, February /. The track for
this extension has been laid, and a
large force of men is busily engaged in
putting in ballast, erecting poles to car
ry the wires, and in placing the wires
convenient for stringing. All of this
said work, according to Superintendent
Ballentyne, will be finished by the date
set, and the cars will begin running
as far as the park. Superintendent
Ballentyne said yesterday that 1t was
sbout as nearly certain now that the
Kaimuki extension would be put
through as anything could be that was
not finally arranged in all its details.
The kaimuki extension Will carry the
King street line for distance of 10000
feet beyond it's present terminus to the
top of the high ridge between KaimuM
and Waialae valleys and there is an
open right of way, SO that construction
will proceed rapidly, once it is begun.
All of the men employed on the Wal.

'pRATIS GOOD WORK.


Commissioner Pratt, once Fire
Claims Commission member and spe-
cial representative from our mercan-
tile bodies, is to be congratulated and
highly complimented upon the success
he made of what he was sent to iac-
complsh. AT the time he was sent, we
said that no better one could have been
entrusted with such duty, for the
simple reason that he knew more
about the business in hand than any
ether person that might have been Sc
lected, Having served with him in
like capacity on the Commission, we
knew what he was capable of doing
and of accomplishing, and our faith
has since been proved out by the re.
suit. Pratt is all right; any other man,
we are sure would have Jared worse
than he has, and this success was ac-
complished in spite of certain OBJ
stacles thrown in mis- way.

the great health conflagration, f"
which occurred on January 20. 1900,
together with the final consummation
with the looting of the Treasury sur
plus of over a million dollars. We
consider this .as the most important
news so far received this year as bear

short order, we understand there is
another surplus on hand in the Terri
1orial Treasury with which to suppress

A NEW POLITICAL PARTY
Former .Nebraskans Behind Move
ment to Boost Socialism and
Henry Georges Creed.
Special to The Journal.

Special to The Journal
Lincoln Neb., July 27.-FOrmer fusion
leaders in Lincoln are behind the move
ment to start a new political party in
Denver Editor T. H. Tibbles and Charles
@. De France, editors Of the Independent
are eagerly studying the movement and
have compiled list Of the Nebraskans
who will attend. Among these is ex-
Governor w. A. Poynter, who was de-
feated by Senator Dietrich for governor in
1900.
Each section Of the state will have q
delegate or a representative and 1t is said
by men who are promoting the scheme
that a hundred fusion political leaders will
represent Nebraska at the meeting.
Socialism and the labor philosophy Of
Henry George, Jr., will be discussed as
basic principles In the declaration of
principles.
According to the statements Of the dele
CATION from Lincoln the fusion plan and
the leadership Of Bryan and Patterson
have ruined and stranded the original peo-
Piles party. 1t is now necessary to re-
turn to first principles. They argue that
there must and should be an aggressive
third party, Grover Cleveland will cap
ture the next democratic convention, Mark
Hanna will dominate the republican party
and for the conservative" there remains
no party save the socialists. TO join this
cause cannot be thought Of and hence the
call from National Secretary Edgerton OF
Denver.
