The Stanley Republican says
that as usual, the merchant of the
country town is curtailing his ad-
vertising, following the holiday
season because it's the dull season.
We note however, that the big de-
partment stores of the cities that
have made the science of advertis-
ing study, put forth their great
est efforts at this season. Ex-
penses for clerk hire 60 on just the
same. Why not make an effort to
keep on doing business? If there
is one time more than all others
when the merchants can make ad-
vertising pay it is at such time
as this. We give every man credit
for knowing his own business better
than we know it, but there is a
diversity of opinion among men in
the same line of business as to
what constitutes good business.
But common sense would dictate
that the greatest efforts to secure
trade should be put forth
at the time when trade is
hard to get and your help is loaf
ing while the pay roll keeps doing
more business-now when you
have more business than you can
properly care for. Clean up the
odds and ends and convert them
into cash, even if you don't make q
big profit. Clear the decks fol-
spring and summer.

BoTH the Republican and Demo.
cratic parties of the state should
hold their conventions in Duluth.
The city has all the natural ad-
vantages for large gatherings
with accompanying hotel facilities.
BY way of diversion, the delegates
from the rural districts might be
given a pleasure and object trip
over the ranges and the fact for
chilly illustrated to them that the
extreme northern end of the state
has something besides Republican
votes to offer. Each delegated
should also be given copy of the
tax appointments of the severa
subdivisions of the state to ponder
over. By all means let Duluth
have the convent ons. The Twin
cities have had them long enough.

A prominent Duluth Democrat
says ST. Louis county favors
Hearst for the Democratic nomi-

opinion the larger part of the ST.

Theodore Roosevelt for the high
and exalted position recognizing in
the man a president for the people
and not for any individual party.

"They want a financier in my place,
| according to the Star. Well, am
financier enough to inform the Govern
ment that there will be practically no
money for current expenditures this
year. There is only enough money In
the treasury now to pay interest as 1t
comes due"
Treasurer A. N. Kepoikai made these
remarks as he showed an Advertiser
reporter financial statement prepared
by Registrar H. Z. Hapai. The Aud
iting Department had handed down a
detailed statement of all current reve-
nue. receipts for the year 1903. which
the Treasurer adopted as the gauge Of
this years revenue, having as he
states. no reason for expecting any
increase.
II am not operating mint" Mr.. Ke-
poikai went on to say. "a financier
is not supposed to manufacture money.
with this statement I am showing
you, though, I think 1t is foolish
piece Of business to expend any part of
our first million dollar loan on armor-
les. 1t is proper to build schoolhouses
where they are much needed, but in
stead of building armories why not ex-
pend the money on settlement roads
and thus develop taxable property?
"If from the loan we can open up
lands that will yield $4,000 yearly in
taxes then we might safely and with
a good face negotiate the second mil
lion dollar loan.
I'm building new county roads, en-
tirely too much money is spent in top
dressing. Thousands Of dollars worth
of this fancy work is washed away
every rainy season. There was the
Volcano road for instance, which was
finished with a polish equal to the
finest street in Honolulu. What Is
wanted in a country road Is solidity.
with surface even enough to make
good hauling for strong wagons.
Thousands of dollars are thrown away
on fine macadamizing where hundreds
of dollars would, for the long run,
make better roads. All that is wanted,
in much of the rough lava country, is
to get around the hummocks and fill
in the hollows with broken rock. This
is what Peter Lee did when he made a
serviceable road to the Volcano from
Pahala years before the road from
Hilo was built"

NEW MEN TALE
kONA PLANTATION

Mr.. c. j. Hutchins, the local agent
OF the Pacific Mutual Life Insurance
Company. and the purchaser of the
Kona Sugar Plantation at the receiv-
ers sale last year. has sold his interest
therein to j. r. Sloan Of San Francisco
for $4,000, reserving the nom assign
able leases and the mill.
Mr. Sloan has Incorporated the prop
erty under the laws Of California for
$50o0oo, under the name Of the Kailua
Sugar Company, and the company has
made contracts with Mr.. Hutchins un-
der which he manufacturers the sugar
from all cane produced by the COM
pany. Mr.. Hutchins will probably be
the agent OF the new company.
The promoters Of the new company
state that they are assured OF all the
capital necessary to develop the PLAN
tation and place 1t on paying basis.
Before going to San Francisco last
month Mr.. Hutchins secured detailed
reports from the Honolulu Iron Works
concerning the necessary changes and
additions required to put the mill in
first class condition. He also obtained
extremely favorable expert reports
from Mr.. Albert Horner and Mr.. Watt
upon the condition OF the plantation
and the suitability of the place for the
production of sugar. 1t is largely up
on these reports that financial support
of the proposition has been obtained.
Mr.. Hutchins expects to return at
an early date, and operations to en-
large and develop the plantation will
be begun Immediately.

Marines Now on Guard Here

A guard of forty-nine marines, under
the command of Lieut. William c. Harl-
lee, arrived in Honolulu on the transport
Sheridan from San Francisco. The
, Marine garrison at the naval station is
under the command of Captain Catlin
who has been in Honolulu for some
weeks awaiting the arrival of these men,
The quarters for the marines have
been temporarily erected in one OF the
big naval coal sheds and the men were at
work yesterday getting their belongings
installed there, which property consists
of many articles of dress and of barrack
furniture, including two billiard tables
and a cook range.
Marines are troops enlisted for SER
vice on board men-of-war and at naval
stations. The history of marines in con-
nection with the United States navy
dates back to I77s. In that year Con
gress passed an act authorizing the en-
listment of two battalions, to be styled
the first and second battalions of ma
rines." Since that date the Marine
Corps has steadily increased in impor-
tance as an arm of defense. In recent
years the American marines have seen
tough service i'll many portions of the
world. They have fought in Cuba, in
the Philippines, and in China They
have been landed in many countries to
protect American representatives from
violence at the hands of mobs and reli-
gious fanatics. And now scattered all
over the world can be found the Ameri-
can marine, many times stationed on
shore, and always in great numbers
aboard our naval vessels.

lhe law IN question is found IN Section
6. Article |, of the Constitution, and
reads as follows:

constituents, and if the house neglect tc

A CELEBRATED CASE.
A celebrated case has settled the point
that an imminent breach of the peace
permits and arrest of a member of either
house fully as much as an actual
breach of the peace. This case was the
sensational arrest of Representatives H.
A. Wise and Edward Stanly, on May
IL, IS42, as they were about to leave the
District of Columbia to fight duel.
The warrant was issued by Judge
Thurston and charged "There is prob
able cause to believe that the Hon. H..
A. Wise, M. c., and the Hon. Edward
Stanly, NJ. c., are about to commit a
breach of the peace by fighting a duel,
and that preparations are now making
by said parties to commit said breach of
peace"
Wise was arrested, the return being
before Judge Mosell, of the Circuit
Court, P. r. Kendall then being the
United States District Attorney The
defense made was that the defendant
was privileged from arrest, except for
an actual breach of the peace, which
was not charged in the warrant Mr..
Fendall argued that the privileges

privileges" 1t has, indeed, to use the
language of Patrick Henry, "a squirting
towards monarchy" English history
shows to what arbitrary lengths this
abuse went until an independent judi
ciary checked it.
CITED ENGLISH ISSUE.
At this point Mr.. Fendall cited the
celebrated English case of Stockdale VS..
Luke Hansard, printer to the house of
Commons, in which Chief Justice Den
man ruled that ancient customs were
unsuited to a modern age, in the follow
ing language:
"In early times the very horses and
servants of members might require pro-
lection from seizure under legal process,
as necessary to secure their own at
tendance; but when this privilege was
strained to the intolerable length of pre-
venting the service of legal process, or
the progress of a cause once commenced
against any member during sitting of
parliament. or of threatening any who
should commit the smallest trespass
upon a members land, though in asser-
tion of clear right, as breakers of a
privilege of parliament, these monstrous
abuses might have called for the inter
ference OF the law and compelled the
courts Of justice to take part"
REQUIRED TO GIVE BOND.

case Judge Mosell decided for the

to give $1,000 bond to these effects.
One of the most recent decisions on
this point was that in the case of How
ard vs. the Citizens National Bank
and Trust Company. This was an dp-
peal case submitted to Justice Shepard
on January IL. 1893. The Tennessee
Bank had obtained judgment for some
$500 against Representative Milford w.
Howard, OF alabama, who represented
one of the districts of that State for a
known as the author of IF Christ
Came to Congress. Having obtained
the judgment the bank attached funds
of Howard in the Lincoln National
Bank. The defendant pleaded his priv
ilege as a member of Congress in abate-
ment of action, and also that he was
resident of the District of Columbia.
Justice Shepard ruled that neither of
these defenses held good, and that any
member of Congress could be sued in
the District.

No Gold In Treasury.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 3o.-For the
first time in many years the Treasury
finds itself without any gold coin in its
vaults 1t is explained that this con-
dition is the result of an unprecedented
demand for gold certificates during the
time when the mints have been fully
employed in coinning Philippine silver
and subsidiary silver for the United
States The increased demand for gold
certificates. which could only be is
sued for gold coin in the treasury,
came about through the needs of the
large banking institutions in the great
commercial centers which had large
amounts of notes of small denomina-
tions on hand which they wished to
exchange for gold certificates of larger
denominations. The Secretary has
given instructions for the mints at
Philadelphia and San Francisco to be-
Gin the coinage of double eagles on
February I and to work overtime un-
til a sufficient supply has been coined
to meet all demands.
