ELECTIONS NEXT WEEK.
THE oficlal and Commercial Record.


The elections for county officers will
take place next Tuesday.
In many respects these elections are
far more important than those held
for delegate to Congress and for mem
bers of the Legislature.
The delegate represents us only con-
corning a few broad questions and
large appropriations for Territorial
purposes. The majority of the people
of Hawaii never know whether he ac-
complishes anything or not, so far as
they are individually affected thereby.
The local Legislature meets once in
two years, passes general laws and ad-
journs. Now that the county govern
ments regulate local affairs, the ses-
sions of the Legislature should be
short and their Importance will be
greatly reduced.
But the county officers will be with
us for 365 da-s in the year.
The Board of Supervisors will be a
legislature in session all the year
round
They can increase, decrease and
change the taxes and spend them as
they choose.
| They are their own masters. There
will be no chief executive with power
to discipline them if they oct off the
straight and narrow way.
Under these circun stances, it is self
preservation for the business men of
| Honolulu to take a live personal inter-
| est in the election. They should do
| canvassing of their own among their
neighbors and employees. Explain to
| them what an important matter it is
to vote for men of responsibility and
| proven integrity.
1t is surprising what an effect such
counsel will have. 1t accomplishes
more than threats and coercion.
If the business men of Honolulu will
| each constitute himself a canvassins
| committee of one from now until cleo.
| ton day, victory for responsible gov.
| eminent will be won.

CANADA AND ENGLAND.

Though one or two newspapers in
Canada are seditious it is not likely
that the Alaskan award to the United
States will induce any active disloyal-
ty to the crown. The English speak
ing subjects of the Dominion strike an
observer as being ultra loyal as, in
deed, such inhabitants of British col
onies or dependencies usually are. In
the human system blood always flows
more warmly ?. Il extremities than
it does about the heart: and in Cana
da, India, South Africa and Australia
pride in the majesty and might of
Britain is more intense and patriotism
more fervent than it is in the shadow
of Westminster.
And yet it is perfectly clear that a
dependent position is not to be coveted
by strong and vigorous people any
more than it is by a strong and vigor-
Gus and self-respecting man. Further
more it is bar to prosperity. Why
so far behind contiguous portions of
the United States? There is no ques-
ton of race involved, for Canada as
well as it's southern neighbor has a
firm basis in Anglo-Saxon manhood.
Nor is the trout.e climatic. Parts of
Canada where the contrast with
American energy and prosperity is
strongly marked, lie to the south of
a line drawn along the southern Dor.
der Of several prosperous American
States. The truth seems to be that a
dependent provincial State comes to
lack initiative even where it has
large measure of home rule: and it is
fact, susceptible Of various inter-
attracts settlers in the ratio that indie
pendent States, similarly situated as
to climate, resources and institutions,
do. Canada has labored hard for i'm
migrants and has secured great
many, but she has trouble in keeping
them. Save in the Northwest where
rich lands near the railroad have even
attracted Americans over the line,
Canada has suffered a constant drain
of her newly-acquired population.
And so it comes about that single
States of the vast American Union,
lying on her very borders, have be-
come more important than the whole
Dominion of Canada. Every Canadian
knows in his heart that if his part
of North America had been incorpora-
ted with the United States at the be-
ginning, it would now be the
home of not less than twenty millions
of people; and that, if it had estab-
lished a republic of it's own, and kept
the peace, it might now be a nation
of thirty millio' S. Nevertheless dis
loyalty in Canada is confined to spo-
radio editorials and the mother coun-
try and her American empire. seem
to be bound by indissoluble ties.

The death of Mrs. Booth-Tucker re-

being Mrs. Eddy and Miss Anthony.
The administrative work which fell to
Mrs. Booth-Tucker in the joint COM

ton Army work in America, was as
great as that which was carried on
by some rulers of States. She had
capacity for such work equal to her
distinguished fathers.

A deputation of clergymen headed
by Rev. Wolf called upon the minister

the rigsdag and presented petition
signed by 456 ministers who wished

This bill provides that civil marriage:
shall be compulsory in all cases, but
that the civil act may be solemnized'
by the church if desired. The petit
TONERS were in favor OF placing civil
and religious marriage on an equal
footing In the face Of the law, and
they furthermore recommended civil
marriage to parties that the pastor
would consider unworthy Of ecclesias-

was received with due respect. But

GREEN-CORN DANCE.
An Annual Celebration of the Seneca
Indians In the Hills of Their
Reservation. .M,

1ue duuudl Brccu-COTu uance OF GQe
Seneca Indians was recently held in
the hills of their reservation, rs
miles east of Vinita, I. T. The
Senecas number about 200 people,
and they hold many different cele-
brations during the year. among
which are the strawberry feast, sup
per for the dead, dance for rain, war
dances and the green-corn dance. y,
The dance occurs every year at
the drying up of the corn, and the
time is fixed by the Seneca Indian
council. The chief and six members
of the council meet and make prep
arations for the green-corn dance
by appointing medicine man and
a number of hunters to secure wild
meat for the occasion. A hunt is
made, and when the hunters return
the dance takes place.
The Indians meet under their large
shed or arbor and early in the morn
ing the leader of the band or medi-
cine man makes a speech, standing
in the center of the shed, and talks
in slow and solemn voice. At in
tervals he puts small bits Of ground
leaves from a plant sacred to the
senecas on a slow-burning fire, and
as the smoke and the fumes raise
he makes his prayer believing that
the smoke conveys the words to the
Great Spirit. After these proceed
ings are over dinner is ready and the
meal is served by walters under the
shed. In the afternoon the dance
commences IN the old-fashioned In
dian style and continues for several
dsxA rs I 3.
