The Candidate.

The names OF three white men,
two OF whom are Island born, are
being mentioned as possibilities for
the Dslsgateship, and they ere A G
NJ Robertson, It B McStocker and
Arthur Nj Brown. OF these, it is
asserted on behalf OF the FIRST that
he will not bs candidate for euch
an honor IL the present Delegate is
up for reelection. Blu. OF the other
two, nothing is as yet known OF eth
or nor az to what they intend doing.
With regsld to Mcstocker, after be-
ing a failure sH plantation man
sger, his political popularity is yet
an unknown quantity other than
that be was capable organizer
some time ago ia the cleaning past.
But as to Brown, tho High Sheriff,
it is surmised iha, his popularity is
among the police force and the
goody goody lot. In our opinion,
Democrats would be only too glad

Still Governor Jack. =

While the News ia no stickler for

certain amount of dignity attach

people of the Islands to remember
this and act accordingly in speak
ing to or of our acting governor.
Let us hear no more OF Governor

goes hand in hand with familiarity,
although breeding contempt some

for it, ia better than seriousness. OF
course, there are times when jesting

The Russian Fleet.

The appearance OF the Russian
feet of the Inland Sea of japan
would asem to bear out our sugges-
tion OF a few days ago that the
Viadivostok t9uadrou intends to at
tack Admiral Togo's flset in the
rear, while simultaneous attack
will be made by the Port Arthur
fleet in front. Such q scheme would
duplicate the msneuvers OF Lee and
jackson during the Civil War. The
fact that the rszing OF Japanese
cities WAS not tho object OF the
sortie; thsfact that the hest has re-.
tired from tho course Of American
commerce indicates that that was
not the cause of the move, The sp.
pesrsnee of the feet at the Inland
Sea suggests that swift and sudden
attack upon Admiral Togo is in con-
temptation. The fleets, as they now
are, are close together and few
days should tell the story.

All the effort OF the missionary
wing OF the Republican party, urged
and led by the morning enigms, to
down Delegate Kalanianaole 10 the
primaries having failed, attention is
now turned ss to how to defeat him
at the polls. We will learn more
about this attempt as we grow older,
especially when he shall win over
all opposition. A Hawaiian is not
wanted, and that at any price. aud
haoles are bsing mectioned to suo-
ceed the present Delegate, should
it be possible for any OF them to
win out.

In his "citizsn labor" proposition
Acting Governor Atkinson is not
only scting within the law but is

SUCCESSORS may we'll follow. When
it comes to the laboriug element the
people Of this country are "up
against it." They are brought into
competition with the millions Of
Japan and the Hawaiian is not able
to stand 1t. The first thing wanted
10 a strict endorsement OF the law on
Government contracts, and IN insist

something for which this and sue.
