A PROPOSED INCUBUS.

Under the heading, County Act VIII
Increa Sc Expense" the local organ OF
the County government idea prints the
following.
At the conference of the business
men with the Governor this morning
Mr. Spalding asked what difference the
advent of a county act in the Territory
would make in the finances of the gov
ernment The Governor replied that
the Territory would be III a worse
plight financially. This was all said
on the subject, the matter being
dropped at that point The question
was brought up by Mr.. Spalding after
the long discussion on the subject Of
finances and after he had asked the
question if there was any likelihood
that Congress would give the Territory
county act.
And yet, in spite of the fact that the
Territory would be in a worse plight
financially than it is with $4,000 in the
Treasury and with S17SQ00 of floating
and imminent debts, we are all expect
ed to urge County government to help
the Republican party. 1t needs
party patriotism which could not be
detected from an impulse to commit
suicide to do it. 1t assumes that by
muddling things worse than they now
are financially, the Republican party
can make itself more acceptable to the
voters.
The only voters in this island by
whom such a course on the part of the
Republican organization would be ap-
proved are the grafters and those who
want to catch the votes of grafters.
But the moment party caters to such
elements it begins to lose strength as
we'll as self-respect and it deserves to
lose them People who have been Re
publicans all their lives and have help
ed elect Republican Presidents, OF
whom there are many in Hawaii, do
not recognize their political alma
mater in an organization which delip- |
erately commits itself to a policy of
ruin to please the scavengers who like |
to see things wrecked for the sake of |
the pickings.

PLANTERS AND THE TRUST.

AS long as Hawaiian planters per-
nit the trust to fix the price of their
sugar they viii be working for the
trust on a small commission. When
they determine, as Claus Spreckels did,
to refine their own sugar in the enemy's
country, they will compel the trust to
play even. They could refine, as Senator
McCandless said the other day, one
sixth of the sugar on the market. The
trust would refine five-sixths, but in a
price war, for every dollar lost by the
Hawaiians, the trust would lose five.
and the latter could not hope to keep
up such a struggle very long. 1t would
pay better to divide the territory and
raise the price
The planters are naturally conserva-
tive, but conservatism if it goes too
far comes to the same fate as radical
ism. The moth is a radical and flies
into the fire and is consumed. The
horse, on the other hand, is q conserva-
tive and refuses to leave his burning
table, meeting there the same fate
as the moth. Our best advice to the
planter is: Don't be a horse, least of
all a mule.

VARIOUS IDEAS ON
SABBATH KEEPING

Mr.. p. c. Jones gave an address las
evening in the rooms OF the Y. II. c.
A. on The Uses and Abuses of ms
Sabbath before a good-sized audience
3Ir. Jones said that he was brought W
10 observe the Sabbath strictly and he
has tried all his life to kee1
the Sabbath sacred in avoid
ing work not only for himself but for
his servants and even for his animals
Geo. Castle said that he had aIso
been brought up with Puritanic ideas
and while he believed in keeping the
Sabbath sacred he did not wish to
make rules for others. as circumstances
had much to do with some people in
keeping the Sabbath.
T. r. Robinson believed that every
Christian should work for the strict
observance of the Sabbath. He did not
believe in any work which taught boys
the principle of earning money on
Sunday.
Captain Bray did not believe in ex-
tremes, nor in laying down a stand
ard for others. He instanced the Phari-
sees laying down a standard for Christ.
Mr.. Tosh thought that nations which
observed the Sabbath strictly made the
most progress and that working men
were truer to their employers who OBJ
served the Sabbath.
Messrs. Day and Webb were in favor
of closing public works and convent
enees on Sunday. Mr.. Day spoke of the
loose manner in which the Latin races
observed the Sabbath.
Mr.. Martin believed in working on
Sunday but he wanted the work to be
in helping others.
Mr.. Behrens thought the laws of God
were binding, but he did not believe in
man selecting a day and debating 10
others when and how people should
act.
Mr.. Toellner thought that men could
often get the most rest by having rec
reation.
Mr.. Brown did not believe in doing
on Sunday which did not have
a good result. He did not object to
innocent amusements for children, but
he believed in restricting peoples con-
duct on the Sabbath. He thought
Partisan Sunday would not be good
for America.
Mr.. Bigelow wished to see every day
kept so sacred that the forInality of
the Sabbath would disappear
w. Templeton believed in following
Christ's idea of doing good on the Sab
bath.
A vote of thanks was rendered Mr. |
Jones for his address.

SPECIALS FAR AsTRAY.

The Star is too good paper to waste
any more of its space on Marine Ex-
change specials. Things OF that sort
should be left to its evening contemPo-
rary, which has no reputation to lose.
The Marine Exchange is a bureau of
the Examiner; and that paper, in re-
spect to foreign war news, or anything
else of a sensational character is hope
Iessly untrustworthy. 1t never lets
the truth stand in the way of a read
able story.
The sinking of imaginary bartleships
is the Examiners especial forte; and
those it sunk fo,c the japanese at Port
Arthur turn out to have been stone
boats which the japanese themselves
were trying to sink at the entrance OF
the harbor. Any one who took the
trouble to ana1yze the battleship news
day before yesterday knew that it
couldn't be true. Togo, who had four
battleships in his fleet could not have
lost them in the morning and raised
them in the afternoon, showing them
before night 200 miles away. But it
all went with the Examiner and it
came to Honolulu as a special of the
Marine Exchange. No doubt the Che
foo faker had a hand in it.
Aside from Consul Saito's official
bulletins the Advertiser gives its read
ers nothing but the Associated Press
news which includes such reports from
special correspondents as that agency
considers valuable. Even then this
paper and it's readers are often de-
ceived; but those who rely upon the
imaginings of yellow correspondents at
Chefoo and Toxic are always deceived.
The highest average of news accuracy
is obtained by the Associated Press
and the next highest by Reuters, with
which the former co-operates. Both
do as well as they know how, but they
are subject to censorshfp-except at
are often used by the Jap
anese and Russian governments to
deceive the enemy. A news
paper reader must use his common
sense and his geography when he reads /
the kilograms and leave the rest to the !
slow developments of, the future.

THE WAR DEVELOPMENTS.

Yesterday afternoons cables from
or near the seat of war undid most of
their news of the previous day, includ-
ing the account of a japanese calamity
at Port Arthur. There was, however,
new dispatch of some significance
which is differently rendered by the
two evening papers. The Stars YER
sion is:
PORT ARTHUR, Feb. 25.-The Jap
anese fleet has again threatened an at
tack, but retired after making an adj
vance as if to give battle. Two of the
stranded Japanese vessels have been
burned. The torpedo boats which took
part in the last attack are uninjured.
The Bulletins version follows:
PORT ARTHUR, Feb. 25.-The Jap
anese naval squadron again threatened
Port Arthur but retired after a cam
nonade of short duration.
Two stranded ships were burned.
The torpedo boats of the Japanese
fleet were not injured.
1t would be pleasing to have the orig
inal dispatch published if for no other
reason than to see whether it desig-
mated the stranded vessels as japanese.
If not, there is possibility that the
vessels burned We're the Russian ones
which stranded in the outer harbor
after the defeat Of the 9Th. Very like
.ly they were the object of the Japan
csc attack.

race Windham. whose expert article

ing the captured Chinese battleship

a second class armored coast defense
vessel.

Reports of forest fires are coming
from various portions of the northern
section of the State. though as yet but
one of any great magnitude has been
heard of. This was one which was
reported to the land agents office ON
Monday morning by Fire Warden III.
i. Nckenny, of Jackman. This fire is
raging on Township No. >, of Range Z,
