PROSPECTS OF THE
SPECIAL SESSION
The Independent says:

Two departments of the Government
are still lacking the confidence of the
public. One is the auditors department
and the other is that of the attorney
general, in whom the public never had
any confidence.
The independent doffs it's beaver
again to Governor Carter, because of
the independence displayed in listening
to the only logical voice of reason by
calling a special session. And again.
we are IT, The Independent having
scored another point.
The decision of Governor Carter TO
call a special session of the Legisla-
ture, in the face of the opposition OF
his official family and a majority of
the business community, shows that ne
places the interests of the country above
that of the advice of Mr.. Dole's back
stairs cabinet"
OF course, some important questions
will arise and these will take time. The
first of these is the vital one of raising
property taxes from one to some larger
per cent. Already the people owning
the most property are objecting and
are voicing their objections through the
columns of their organ, the Advertiser.
Many feel, however, that if necessary
to further tax property in order to meet
the new conditions brought about oy
annexation, the people who worked for
and brought upon US the
present money crisis should be the very
last to object. There is one other way
to raise a considerable sum of addi-
tional money and that is by multiply
ing, perhaps in a fractional way, the
income tax; but that would strike in the
same place harder than elsewhere. An
increase of poll taxes is not to he
thought of.

HEARST AND BRYAN.

Mr.. Hearst is a growing presence in
the field of politics and the fact is
measurably due to the secret work of
Mr.. Bryan whose interest it is to have d
man head the Democratic ticket this
time who will be more easily beaten
than he was himself.
Nothing could so extinguish Mr..
Bryan as the success of the Democratic
candidate for President in 1904. Such
"a result would emphasize the claim of
Mr.. Bryan's fractional enemies that he
was the cause of the party's failure in
1896 and 1900. To show that the fault
was the party's and not it's leaders
would be much easier in the event of
another Democrat being defeated for
the Presidency than in the case that
Mr. Bryan's successor should carry all
before him. Defeat this year at the
hands of some new leader, especially Il
crushing defeat, would inevitably make
the party think more Of the Orator OF
the Platte. OF course it would not do
for Mr.. Bryan to closely identify him
self with the victim of the sacrifice, for
then men might say that the milestone
of his friendship had borne the man
down; so Mr., Bryan is shrewdiy work.
ing behind and out of sight. This in
huence for Hearst is not ostentatious,
but is the more effective for that
Republicans are watching the game
with the deepest interest. OF all can
didates to run against Roosevelt they
prefer The Yellow Peril, as Mr.. Hearst
has come to be called. They would
name him if they could. Whatever
course the business interests might take
if a man like Cleveland were to run
on the Democratic ticket, their choice
between Hearst and Roosevelt could
only go one way. Indeed no Republic
can would leave Roosevelt for Hearst.
while hundreds of thousands of Demo-
Gratis would leave Hearst for Roosevelt.
1t is a situation in politics for Republf-
cans to encourage all they can.

THOUGHTS ON THE WAR.

In specializing upon the slow course
of the japanese in Korea, two consid-
erations present themselves. There is
the weather, which. in Korea, is Sibe-
rian in it's winter intensity. During our
Civil War troops went into winter
quarters, even in the mid-South, only
emerging for great operations when the
cold abated and the roads grew firm.
1t is noticeable that, in the Balkans
fighting brews in April and does not go
far i'm winter. Since Napoleon's retreat
from Moscow, military leaders in north
ern ATTITUDES, have fought shy of cold
weather save for purposes of defence.
war along modern lines is not served
like justice-all places temples and all
seasons surnmer-but is influenced by
the state of the thermometer and the
rain gauge.
There is another explanation possible
which has to do with high strategy.
Japan went to war because Russia
would not concede Korea to her. She
occupied the Hermit Peninsula with
great army and it now devoIves upon
Russia to either accept the situation or
undertake to turn the japanese out.
There is perhaps no occasion for Japan,
having got what she wanted, to go fur
Their and attempt to dislodge Russia |
from another part of Asia. All she
needs to do under such circumstances, !
is to strengthen her defences and await
the Cars pleasure. She can put men
enough into Korea to hold the place
against all corners; she might not have
enough to scatter in various armies dis
tributed far from their common base,
in the enemy's country and threatened
by superior numbers. There was hint
in the news the other day that the
did not intend to lose them
selves in Manchuria-
AS mere specu1ations these theories
are given for what they are worth,
which may be much or little as events
shall shape themselves.

ADMIRAL URIu's ZEAL.
Got Wrong Kettle When Investiga-
ting Ratlons of Sailors

George Dalton Morgan, who has
brought from the Orient a Japanese
bride, told the other day a story about
the japanese sea fighter, Admiral Uriu.
In Tokio,'' he said, Admiral Uriu is
regarded as a kind of Haroun al Ras-
child. They declare there that he inves-
tigates personalIy-somet even IN
disguise-every detail of the workings

launch one day at meal time, and
boarded this torpedo boat just as the.
sailors came from the kitchen, carrying
a huge and steaming ca1dron.

that caldron down..
Now he said, bring me a spoon
IAN officer hurried forward.
But, admiral he began.
g Never mind, sir. There's a COM
plant from this boat, and I'm going
to settle it now said Admiral Uriu.
He lifted the lid from the caldron,
ladled up a spoonful of it's contents, and
after blowing on the liquid he swal-
lowed it. Then he made a wry face.
" You cali this soup?' he exclaimed |
Why, it is nothing but dirty water

EFFECT OF THE CANAL.

California expects, when the canal is
done, to be able to sell its canned fruits
cheaper in London than in San Fran
cisco. Just how this will be possible is
explained by the San Francisco. Call as
follows:
Last year Liverpool and London
took 600, 600 cases of California canned
fruits, shipped around the Horn. cross
ing the equator twice. When We have
the Panama Canal. we can sell our can
ned fruit III Europe cheaper than right
here in California. The shorter voyage
viii mean lower freight. These fruits
are canned in duty-paid tin and sugar
When these are re-exported. the Gov
eminent pays back to the exporter
ninety-nine per cent. of the duty. That
drawback will pay the freight, and our
canned goods will be landed in Europe
ait a price that will not only hold the
market we have. but will indefinitely
extend it. AS the reduction of our per-
ishable fruit to, form in which its.
keeping capacity is unlimited is of the
highest value to our horticulture, so
facilities for reaching market as a
means of encouraging and increasing
such reduction become of first impor-
lance.
TT is believed that with proper stor-
age arrangements a large part of our
fresh fruit crop will also find profita-
BILE market abroad. Pears and citrus
fruits may surely go by way of the
canal. and the superior quality they
have should make their market. 1t is
hardly possible to overestimate the fav-
orable effect of putting every orchard
and vineyard in California more than
10000 miles nearer by water to a mar
1ket 1t is as if every tree and vine and
the climate that makes them produc-
tive We're moved and relocated that
much nearer to the consumers.
mot only should the fruit-growers
OF California contemplate this with the
liveliest expectations, but they Should
in every way sustain the President and
hold up his hands in his brave effort to
give us the canal at the earliest pos
sible moment

COAST SUMMER RESORTS.

Though many Honolulu people go TO
| the coast in summer, it is remarkable
how little is known here of what Cali
fornia has to offer in the way of attrac-
tive summer resorts. A few go to
Lake Tahoe, a few to Byron and Bart
lett springs and some to Monterey but
| a hundred places of equal charm and
of varying attractions are neglected
because they are not known to this
public.
The most equabIe climate in the
world is found on one particular spot
in southern CALIFORNIA; spot some
three miles, square-in which. mag
nificent tourist service is afforded,
where the thermometer stands at 10
degrees. or near it. all summer; and
where the air which comes off the sea
is dry. Few Honolulu people have
ever been there.
In the central part of the State, away
up in the mountains where the deer
Iinger and the squirrels play, is a place
easy to reach from the railroad and
well supplied with rooms and board.
Right there is a wonderful laboratory
of nature. A brook of boiling water
pours into an ice cold creek and near
by one finds springs of sulphur, mag
nesia, acid ink, borax and lithia alter
ever blow off steam. There is no kind
of mineral drink or mineral bath which |
cannot be found there; and the air is |
filed with the rare indictments of |
pine-clad attitudes" Quite likely no
HonoluIan, unless he had previously
lived in California, has ever visited it. |
