The Hawaiian Appointments.

President Roosevelt has done Hawaii two
good turns in his latest appointments that
of Governor Dole to succeed the late Judge
Estee and that of Mr. Carter to succeed
Governor Dole. 1t has been known for some
time that Mr.. Dole wanted to retire from
the burdensome task of governing Hawaii,
with its difficult problems of administra-
ton. His health has not been good and the
governorship was proving too much for his
strength. Yet the federal administration
recognized his great ability and his pecu-
liar usefulness to the territory It was
reluctant to consent to his absolute retire
ment to private life. The occurrence of
vacancy on the bench offered a solution
of the problem. Governor Dole Is a man
of absolute integrity. and he moreover pos
sesses judicial mind and has thorough
legal training. He is familiar with the in
sular conditions and customs. and especial
ly does he appreciate the emphatic need of
Hawaii for uprightness on its bench, which
has been degraded more OF less during
recent years by unfortunate appointments.
He will serve the territory well on the
bench as in the governors chair
Governor Carter will prove a thoroughly
acceptable successor to Judge Dole, unless
all signs fail. He is known quantity.
his capacity. Younger than his predeces-
sor, he Is more vigorous, and physically
better qualified to withstand the stress of
office under the hard conditions which pre-
vail from time to time at Honolulu. He
knows Hawaii thoroughly and Is in close
touch both with the retiring governor and
with the President Hawaii is assured Of
prompt and sympathetic consideration at
Washington with this link of intimate rela-
tionship established between the two capt.
tails.
Both men have earned their present ap-
pointments. Judge Dole by his long and
arduous and eminently successful services
as president of the republic and first gov
ernor, and Governor Carter by his faithful
performance of such subordinate duties as
have fallen to his share. If all future ap-
pointments to Office in Hawaii, or else
where. for that matter, are made with equal
consideration of character, merit and spe-
cial fitness the result will be good govern
ment without a drawback.

Marc Antony in Maryland.

In his speech in Baltimore last night Mr..
German gave his hearers an imitation of
Marc Antony. Desiring to stir the crowd
up against the President, he began slyly by
testifying to personal esteem for him. He
treated the subject something after this
fashion:
IL have great respect for the President.
He has gone directly counter to the policy
of his predecessor on the race question. Mr..
Mckinley had succeeded in putting that
question out of business. Mr.. Roosevelt
has revived it. and even as conservative
man as am must make 1t the leading issue
in this campaign. 1t is appalling to think
of what the future will be If am not in
dorsed on Tuesday But the President says
1t is all right, and the President is i'm
pulslve young man.
II have great respect for the President.
He has had Booker Washington to lunch
with him-an honor which you and and
all the rest of us would greatly enjoy But
how could any of us be comfortable there
now after the hospitality of his table has
been so abominably lowered? They say
that Tom Smith, an active colored demo-
crat is on friendly terms with me. But
Tom never lunches with me. l have Tom
SO trained that he does not aspire above the
condition Of campaign hustler. But the
President says that Booker Washington is
all right. and the President is an impulsive
young man.
,'I have great respect for the President.
His policy on the race question means social
equality between whites and blacks, means
the insecurity of our women, means the be-
fouling of our homes. Unless 1t is resisted
and defeated we shall shortly have a state
of things in this country beyond the power
of language to describe. Either pestilence
or famine would be preferable. Every bush
on the lonely roadside will conceal a black
rapist. and every white man will be obliged
either to invite a negro to his table or ell
tertain one If the negro should choose to
invite himself. But the President says that
this Is all right. and the President is an
impulsfve young man"
Mr. German labored under some disadvan-
tages. His theme did not lend itself to his
purposes as easily as Antony's did to his,
nor is he as much of man as was the
willy Roman chief. But as a specimen of
his powers in that line his deliverance is,
worth reading 1t may make no votes, but
II makes good fun.

The New York Fight.

The nayoralty campaign in New York
draws to a close with the situation about
as badly confused as 1t Is possible to be.
Both sides appear to be outwardly conf
dent and inwardly apprehensive. Tammany
Leader Murphy talks in fiuctuating figures
about a tremendous democratic majority.
ranging as high 10000 for Mcclellan.
He even looks for a Mcclellan majority in
Brooklyn. The fusionists claim the big city
by a majority approximately as large as
that secured by Low two years age. some
thing over 10000, and depend upon a rous-
ing big margin in Brooklyn to offset what
ever Manhattan may do for Mcclellan.
Devery's vote, ii is conceded, will be below
10000. and may not rise above 10000. 1t
may be that he will prove to be the balance
of power in the big city, even with his
small following at the polls.
1t is difficult to estimate the outcome for
three reasons. First of all is the equivocal
attitude of the business men, who as indi-
viduals are strongly inclined toward Mayor
Low because they personally believe in
honest government, but who as members of
corporations hope for Tammany's return to
power, in which event they can buy favors
from which they are now barred by the
laws. 1t is reported and not denied that they
have contributed something over half a mil
lion dollars to Tammany's campaign fund.
Two years ago these men were generally for
Low. Whether they will contribute money
to Tammany as corporationists and vote for
Low as individuals remains to be seen. If
they vote for Mcclellan Manhattan at least
will probably give him a majority of some
size.
The second factor of uncertainty Is the
German vote. At the outset of the cam
paign 1t seemed to favor Mcclellan on the
personal liberty issue. But Tammany
treated its leaders scornfully and failed to
clinch the element by considerate nomina-
tions. Then Mr.. Low melted much of the
icy reserve of the Brooklyn Germans by as
surfing them that he would. IL reelected

A New Yacht Cup.
From the Philadelphia Public Ledger.

Sir Thomas Upton is in the habit Of do
ing the gracious thing. and Of doing it, too,
most graciously. In Withdrawing his offer
to present a cup for a transatlantic yacht
race in 1904 he has once more illustrated
that sense of good taste which has charac-
terized all his actions as sportsman. It
was exceedingly kind in Sir Thomas to
make the offer. to begin with, and it is
even more considerate in him to withdraw
it, under the circumstances. The way is
now made easy for Emperor William to
present such a cup through the New York
Yacht Club or the Atlantic Yacht Club, an
opportunity which the ruler of Germany
will, we doubt not, be prompt to grasp In
case he makes the offer the yachting sea-
son or next year will be one of remarkable
interest on both sides the sea

The Night,

The sombre portal Of the night,
Where shadows stalk like sentinels,
We pass and seek anew the light.
Where the mysterious future dwells.
No more like children in dismay
We shudder as the barrier swings.
The gates that closed upon today
Have led US forth to better things.
Above some prehistoric pile
We raise anew the splendors fed,
For men and nations sleep awhile,
And wake, refreshed and comforted.

The Revolver Habit.

For a trifing dispute over cents. in.

desolate. The whipping out of revoivers at
the slightest provocation is getting alto
gether too common in this community as
well as others. And it would be a wise and
popular move for the courts to make a
special example in this case and hurry the
trial to speedy conclusion, that such
offenders may realize that similar crimes
cannot be committed with impunity

GOVERNOR HEARS
THE ARGUMEN IS
Butte Slough Conditions
Are Discussed at
Sacramento.
Special Dispatch to The Call.

SACRAMENTO, Sept. 29.-The auditing
board to the Commissioner of Public
Works this afternoon held a conference
Jointly with Governor Pardee and Lieu
tenant Colonel W. II. Heuer. U. 5. A.,
with reference to the proposed weir at
Butte Slough.
Residents of Colusa County along the
Sacramento River opposed the installa-
tion of this weir on the ground that it
would force flood waters against their
levees and cause them great harm.
Butte Slough is in Sutter County, but all
the residents on the east or Sutter side
do not favor the weir. However, those
who do claim that the Colusa ranchers
have built up levees to their detriment
and that it is time the Sutter ranchers
looked after their own interests. 1t is
also proposed to put in weir at Moul-
tons Break, above Butte Slough. BY so
doing the Sutter ranchers claim it would
be possible to utilize part of the Sutter
Basin for much longer period than can
be done now.
The Governor listened intently to the
arguments advanced, both by those who
favored and those who opposed the con-
structi9n of the weir

Remarkable Occurrence Hun
dreds of Miles From
Africa's Coast.
Special Dispatch to The Call.


PORTLAND, Or, Sept. 29-The officers
of the British ship Dunslow, just arrived,
report having witnessed a phenomenon
while the vessel was about 600 miles off
the African coast
One morning when most of the ships
company were on deck a light shower of
sand began to fall Within half an hour
the air became so laden with the particles
that it was difficult to distinguish objects
a ships length distant. The sand was
generally of a light composition, much of
it drifting on the air currents. Some of 1t
was heavy and fell upon the deck So
great was the downpour that the deck of
the ship was covered about half an inch
deep. The shower continued for three
days and the atmosphere was so dense at
times that the sun was hidden from view.
1T smelled like guano," said one of the
officers, %and fell so thickly that it was
sitting. At times we went about our
work gasping for breath.
THE most plausible explanation is that
the showers of sand came from the Sa-
hara Desert. 1 have heard of sandstorms
in midocean, but this is the first time one
ever came under my observation. Scien-
lists state that these sandstorms only
occur once every three years, but why
they occur at stated periods is not clear.
