Office to take themselves out of the

the announcement that they are candi-

honorable and commendable thing for
a man to aspire to public office. If he
wants such an office there is no reason
why he shouldn't say so. This business
of putting ii all on his friends is as
hypocritical as it is tiresome. A manly

The interstate commerce commission
has just issued parts Nv and V of a gen.
eral report entitled Railways in the
United States in 1902" prepared by its
statistician, which constitute portions of
an appendix to its sixteenth annual re-
port. The tendency in railway legis.
tion during the last II years. as well as
the present situation. may be learned
from this report. The number of states
the report says, which in 1902 exercised
control over railways through commits
sions was &c. Six states which in 1890
were without commissions established
them during the period. OF which two
were subsequently abolished; four states
which in 1890 had commissions. abolished
them. but in two instances subsequently
reestablished them. In the case of two
states, however the abolition of railroad
commissions does not indicate a dispose
ton to relieve railways from public con-
troll. on the contrary, the purpose was
to clear the way for the organization OF
a system of control believed to be. more
shicient than that OF railroad commits
dons.

CLUB STABLES
CASE ON TRIAL

The trial of the Club Stables suit,
C. Bolte and others VS.. Charles Bellina,
ct al, was commenced yesterday morn
ing before Judge De Bolt. The COIN
planning stockholders allege that the
salaries paid Bellina, who is manager,
and his assistants are exorbitant. Bel
lima was on the stand for the greater
part of the day for the plaintiff, ana
told all about the livery business. He
testified that his salary was not exorb-
liant, and that the business was being
conducted as economically as possible
He was followed by James Carly, also
a liveryman. The witness said he was
not able to tell what the services of a
foreman in a stable similar to the Clue
Stables was worth, but stated he Was
able to give information concerning
only his own company.
James Quinn was also put on the
stand as an expert. He testified that
the services of a foreman could be OBJ
tanned for from $50 to 800. He thought
$500 month was a fair salary for the
manager. 1t depended, however. on the
manager. If he didn't make the busl-
ness pay he didn't believe the manager
was worth $50 a month
All the livery men testified that there
is depression in the business at pres
ent, which they attribute to the coming

The happiness of Bishop Willis should
now be complete. Though far away
from Hawaii where he fumed and
fought for nearly thirty years. he is
once more breathing his native air of
controversy. He must have feared that
the South Seas would prove too peace
full for him, but any uneasiness on that
score has been dispelled. He is now not
only at odds with the Wesleyan church
which controls the Tonga mission but
with the Bishops of New Zealand who
hold to the wise policy of not inter
fering with the mission work of other
Christian bodies and thus presenting, to
the native mind, the spectacle of rival
sects. Accordingly the New Zealand
Bishops oppose the utilization of Bishop
Willis with their branch of the church
and entirely disassociate" themselves
from him. For this happiness Bishop
Willis cannot be humbIy thankful. for
humility is not in his line; but that
he viii rejoice as the strong man about
to run a race cannot be doubted for
moment.

PUBLIC LOANS.

There seems to be an impression
abroad that by the fire claims act Con
eress has authorized an issue OF honos
vbich will not be charged up against
the quota which the organic act au-
fhorizes the Territory to emit. rms
impression is incorrect
The organic act specifically limits the
objects for which the Territory may
incur a bonded debt. Payment or the
fire claims was not within the enumer-
ated class, consequently the Hawaiian
legislature could not issue bonds Tor
their payment. Congress has now
passed an act allowing the local leg1s-
iature to issue bonds with which TO
paw these claims. No change is made
i'm the limitation on the total amount of
bonded Indebtedness which may be in
Cured, consequently the limitation
stands as originally enacted. The words
of the limitation are:
.aThe total of such indebtedness in
Cured in any one year. shall not ex-
coed one per centum upon the assessed
value of taxable property ana
the total indebtedness for the Territory
shall not at any time be extended be-
yond seven per centum Of such assessed
value"
The assessed value of the real and
personal property of the Territory for
1902 was s125, 909.471.
The legislature can authorize the is
sue of bonds this year up to one per
cent of this amount, equal to s1,259,O94,
and no more. If bonds to the amount
OF $500, 600 are authorized to be issued
to pay fire claims, the quota allowed
to be issued during 1903 viii be decreas-
ed by that amount, leaving available
for all other purposes $759,094.

THE SAKE CASES.

The matter involved in the sake cases
now before the Board of General APP
praisers in New York is whether sake
is a beer or a wine. If a beer it is sub
ject to an import duty of twenty cents
a gallon, and if manufactured in this
country to an internal revenue tax OF
about six cents per gallon. If wine it
is subject to an import duty of fifty
cents per gallon, and to no internal
revenue tax at ALL The Internal Rev
enue department holds it to be beer,
and the Customs department holds it
to be a wine. Colonel Fitch-who is
nothing if not scriptural-in his argu-
ment, held up a bottle of sake in view
of the court, and said: AT the mar
riage feast at Cana to quote an En-
glish poet-'the conscious water saw its
God and blushed.' 1t has been said that
the age of miracles is past The
author of that proverb is not up with
the times, for the miracle of the Saviour
is repeated by the officials of the Treas
ury department who turn beer into wine
and wine into beer by carrying it from
