CREDIT TO WHOM DUB.

We notice, in an article in the
holiday number OF the Paradise OF
the Pacific on "The Hon olulu News
boy" the writer, Wallace r Earring
ten. editor of the Evening Bulletin,
gives the credit for the advent OF the
newsSoy to Ed Towse in 1896. From
our own personal knowledge, we beg
to differ with our esteemed brother
OF the quill, for we can 60 him
better by two years. Our reoollec-
tion is, that it was in 1898, when
Abraham Fernandez was manager
of tho Hawaii Holomus, he it was
who made tho first attempt to put
that paper for sale on our streets.
The other papers followed later. II
anyone is entitled to credit, Mr. Fer
nandez is, .tour countryman and
fellow townsman, and not to mali
hini who had only come here seeking
his fortune in this benighted and
then upheaved country. 1t has al
ways been so, anyway, that Hawaii
ans are not credited with initiative
ideas and malihinis or some Main
land backwoodsnan generally get it
or all there is to be got out of it.

PARTY REPRESENTATIONS.
III

William Jennings Bryan follows,
in subsequent iasue Of The Satur-
day Evening Post, with an article OF
similar trend under the caption OF
"Ths Reorganization of the Re-
organized Democracy" In his
treatise, he makes the following
opening remarks: Whether the
overwhelming victory won by the
Republican party in the recent ma
tional campaign is to be considered
az az Endorsement OF the President
and his policies, or as rebuke to
the Democratic party, is q question
which cannot be fully determined
until the returns ATE complete. 1t
is O. ident, however, at this writing
that the falling of in the Demo-
cratic vote was much greater than
the gain in the Republican vote, and
in some places the Democratic loss
was even greater than the gain
shown by all other parties combined.
This would indicate considerable
stay at.homs vote, and the man who
stays at home usually does so be
cause neither his own party nor any
other party arouses his interest.

dissfection among Democrats, Mr.
Bryan has the following to say:
"But in spite of the advantages
promised by Judge Parker's election
it is evident that q great many
Democrats were 80 devoted to
economic reform and so disappoint-
cd at the party's failure to make a
VIGOROUS attack upon the Repub
lican policies all along the line that
they refused to support the Demo
cratic ticket This disaffection was
far greater than the Republicans
themselves expected, for in almost
every instance the Republican
plurality was considerably larger
than the Republican committees
claimed the day before election. Not
only did the disaffection surpass the
calculations of friend aud foe, but it
extended to every part OF the eoun-
try. It was as noticeable in the East
as in the West, the Republican
victory being as sweeping in the
States claimed by the Democrats as
in the States that were given up as
hopeless. II is only fair to say that
Mr. Roossvelrs personality contri-
buted to some extent to the msgni.
tuds OF his victory, for opposition to
him was lessened by the fact that
some thought him a reformer in
disguise. There is nothing in his
official career TO encourage the belief
that he will propose any reforms,
and yet it is unquestionably true
that many voters in his own party
and outside Of it are expecting that
he will turn LOOSE as soon as he ia
iuaugurated as President in his own
right. These have a theory that
during the unexpired term of his
predecessor President Roosevelt
feels in duty bound to-carry out the
policy which President Mckinley
inaugurated, but that when once
commissioned a. Praaidan hr kha mao.
The Independent. [volume] (Honolulu, H.I.) 1895-1905, 1904-12-22

able number of those who voted did
80 with much less enthusiasm than
they manifested in former years;
but they voted because they felt
that Judge Parker's election would
bring certain much-needed reforms,
whereas President Roosevelt's prom
ised nothing OF the sort"
Then follows with regard to
"Judgs Parkers position on the
question OF imperialism" which at
titude alone, in Mr. Bryan's iudg-
ment, should have appealed to
those who regarded imperialism as
a menace" as "to have given him the
full Democratic vote" With refer
ence to "a reduction in the army,
the minimum strength OF" which
Having been moro than doubled
during the last eight years" "the
appropriations" for its maintenance
amounting "to more than $50,000,-
600 a year," "there was every reason
why the Democrats in general
should protest against this unneces-
sary addition to the expenses OF the
Government. There was abundant
cause. too, for the lsboring men in
particular to record themselves
against this menace to their inter-
ests. Then, too, the Presidents
utterauces had made him appear as
a military enthusiast. while Judge
Parker, both in opinion and in dis,
position. was the very autithesis of
the President. Judge Parker thus
stood for number OF things which
Democrats regarded as important,
and toward the close of the cam
paign his attacks upon the President
for accepting campaign contribu-
tions from the trusts encouraged
many who felt that his earlier utter
ancss on the trust question had not
been sufficiently emphatic" ! . .

the like-to b. located there. The
town was perhaps the most disorderly
iu the history of America.
Finally, half desperate, the perma-
nent residents OF Abilene resolved to
control The disorder and to make the
place safe for life and property. A.
Cerdingly Abilene was incorporated
in 1870, and was elected as the first
MAYOR. From the first moet vigor'
Gus attempt was made to maintain
order and inforce the ordinances, but,
cowed by the toughs, the marshals
which appointed in rapid succession
gave way and resigned faster than
could appoint them. 1t looked for
awhile as II our attempts to restore
quiet and try to wipe out the notoriety
the place had gained would be futile
I tried some OF the bravest men in the
United States, but they all gave way
before the lawless element.
must say that at first we tried to
govern the town on humane and
Christian principles, but we soon
learned that those two words were
unkno wn to the element with which
we had to deal. When many OF the
marshals had thrown up the job l
grew desperate and made inquiry
throughout the mining. regions OF the
Rocky mountains to see II | could not
find some one who would not be afraid
Of the bad men OF Abilene. 1t was at
this time that procured the services
OF Thomas J. Smith.
Smith, l had learned, had led the
Bear river riot in Wyoming in 1868.
| I did not understand at that time why
he should be leading rioters, and
have never fully cleared up that, but
| shall soon. do know, however,
that whatever part Smith played In
those riots was to bis credit.
Soon after l had engaged Smith be
arrived at Abilene and without an
hours delay assumed the duties Of BIZ
office. He started down the street
and by q series Of daring. nervy
tactiul acts, soon showed the riotou'
element that be meant business
Within forty.eight hours he estab
lished the supremacy Of the law.
Smith, unlike Wild Bill, who wa
the next marshal Of Abilene, did no
depend upon his expert handling o
firearms for his courage. Wild Bill
was not afraid OF any man, for b
knew he could shoot quicker AMI
straighter than any man with whom
he might have trouble. But Smith

DsMoNAs MARROW ESCAPE.
Steel Ball Failed to Loop the Loop
This Time.

Word reached this city yesterday
that Demona, the daring young
woman who loops the loop in the
Parker Amusement company, had
mishap while performing the danger
GUS feat and narrowly escaped death.
This occurred last Wednesday at Cot.
feyville. Just as the stsel-ritbed ball
in which Demona was securely ias'
tened reached the bottom part Of the
loop it struck joint and was thrown
foot upward. The acquired momen-
tum was slackeued and the crowd
stood breathless, for they knew the
ball would never 90 around the circle.
However, it went about twelve feet
up the circle, when it dropped down.
When little Demona was taken from
the ball she was not seriously hurt,
but was trembling from the terrible
shock. She said that was the first &C.
cident that had ever befallen her.
This brave little woman, however,
will be In Wichita this week. Re-
eardless Of the accident she declares
that she will continue just the same
as before and show the crowds that
she is not afraid to perform the feat,
even though she narrowly escaped
being thrown into eternity. The
